Lolo, thanks for the insider view.

I don't know your'e label really but my imprssion is of a label that signs rolling bass classic trance that to my ears mainly sound all the same - why pay for something when it's as common as grass? My brother who is a hardened clubber say most trance sounds like classical music with a beat - in his eyes uncool.


As I say I don't know much if anything about Bonzai so forgive my idiotic lack of knowledge here.


you're totally right, hence the move out from that trance scene and the shutdown of several sublabels last week. In fact, we've never been huge supporters of that sound, there used to be a hype but some guys overkilled the scene with the wrong attitude and got 90% of the "trancers" to act in a similar (and thus ridiculous) way. It's now official but in my head it's been like that for at least 2 years. Guess also why I made that radio show featuring music from 2005-2006 only this week. So people get to know they don't need to associate me with dj sammy-alike guys, which is what they actually do.

one thing ive always done since i can remeber is try to get the same sound as the people whos tracks i became obsessed with, now i find it pretty easy to get theese sounds i struggle coming up with anything original that works well, i can doit dont get me wrong but i quite like alot of the trance being played in the clubs when i go once every couple of months you dont really hear original experimental trance here where i live at least not that i know of its basically more well produced stuff that was being done ages ago with all the big techy basslines, i like them sometimes so thats my 2 £

you can give the track free but still they'll have some costs and a bad track is a bad track. If they spend 100$ in promotion and mastering and finally they only get 50$ that's a bad deal.

i know there is no real money in music production, unless you are getting alot of engineering work and remix work. For me though a person whos only been producing 2 years and only recently moved to producing trance which ive listened and loved for years, its not about making money from production but about getting my tracks signed when i am of a decent standard to get my name out there and hopefully in turn be able to get a gig or two a week or a residency. I dunno if that makes sence but it does to me

Most of us produce to dj i think ^^ because you need to sign tracks you lose some part of the "hobby part" you have deadlines, guidelines... very few people produce only as a hobby, everyone wants some recognition, a name to get gigs, a few bucks...
