i'd like trance to be like in 1999 and popular, if it is not possible like in 1999 but underground but now you have unpopular shit.

The problem with me is not that I just dislike today's trance music, but I'm realizing a lot of the trance music I liked "back in the day" (by my standards, I'm maybe younger than a lot of the old tranceaddicts) I don't like so much either now because I realize they're a bit cheesy. For example: Lange - Follow me (DJ Jam X & De Leon's Dumonde Remix) and also Ferry Corsten - Out Of The Blue. I mean the songs are beautiful, but I feel a little childish and embarassed listenening to them.

HOWEVER, there are some gems I will always love and probably NOT find them terrible or very cheesy in the future, regardless of the era of the track or how much older I get myself:

Rank 1 - Airwave (Original Mix)
George Acosta - Secret Memory (Marc La Cruz Meets George Acosta Remix)
Robert Nickson - Spiral (Original Mix)
Above & Beyond and Andy Moor - Air For Life (Original Mix and Airwave Remix)
Luminary - Amsterdam (Smith & Pledger Remix)
Ferry Corsten - Beautiful (Original Mix)


So... when some of you guys say "trance bores me nowadays," do you mean NEW trance or ALL trance in general (old included)? Has your entire TASTE changed? For one thing, I know my taste has changed a little. I'm liking a lot more progressive tunes now but that's because of a lack of proper trance tunes (I find that most prog tracks are less cheesy); I still like almost all of the songs I did in the past (big exception --> that huge alex M.O.R.P.H. and Daniel Kandi phase I went through a few years ago!)

I'm very aware how small my country is, which is why I wasn't referring to it comparing Tiesto vs Guetta. And also Spain isn't big enough for global reference IMO. I just can't imagine Guetta beating Tiesto with huge numbers for being better known all over the world. But I could be wrong.

You're right we have more french influence than dutch either but if David Guetta isn't the nº1 is just because most of his fans don't know what the dj mag list is, Armin relys mostly in his ASOT followers and he points them in the right direction in every episode "Vote for me at www.djmag.com please" David Guetta relys on his cheesy productions, what can he do?¿ Maybe instead of saying "Sexy Bitch" "OH, Vote for me...." ?¿

Lol that was at Ultra Music Festival. I was there and there were easily 20,000+ people in that tent alone.

What country do you live in?

Trance is not popular?

I also thought that this thread was from 1999

Today's Trance aka "Progressive Trance" aka "another version of House" is too popular. It shouldn't be so popular cause it shouldn't represent "Trance" at all.

For me who has been listening to Trance since the 90's, here is popular Trance which is 1000 x times better than today's popular trance.

May I introduce you: Golden age era of Trance: 1998 - 2003:


































































Mainstream and awesome! Golden Age FTW! German DJ:s = The real kings of Trance

Thanks for posting all those videos, im always looking for classic trance, when you think about it, Trance is a bit of a sausage fest, i meant there aren't that many Female Dj's. The only one I know is JES, and her music is Shit. Anyone know of any female Trance Composer/Dj's? Ive always woundered that, im not talking about groups that happen to have a female vocalist, im talking about an actual Female Dj that makes tracks just like everyone else.

Edit: After watching halfway though ive noticed that all these videos are basically the same thing, not that the music isn't good, its great its just the videos are always vacantly colored, lack of people,some dealing with parts of nature, slow motion scenes, high uses of auto-focusing in and out, and rewinding. Is there just one man that directs these videos?
