Everyday, I try to write down the dumbest thing I see/hear. Today, the 25th of September, you are the winner.

LOL
But I have to agree with him; personally, I never liked his stuff either. Just my 2c. And I do think that Germany is under-rated and is in fact the best country for Trance.

ok germany is good...but they never associate themselves with trance..look at pvd..he says he doesnt dj trance musik. but rather <' electronic musik." Look at timo maas...he even dissed trance in one of his traks..on his loud album. Come on the thread is about where the best trance djs reside at.

YUP!!!!

Why do you say that?

I used to like Oakey but now I don't cuz all he plays is break-beats and I don't like that.

Really great trance music is best heard when you're lying on the floor, with arms outstretched, crucified beneath monstrous speakers. Trance takes the thump of hardcore techno music and scatters it among swirls of melody and elliptical rhythms, facilitating a sense of detachment that allows the mind to wander. For instance, on Sasha's Global Underground: Ibiza the sounds rise and fall together, working cohesively, like on a perfect night in the blue room upstairs at the rave, bringing you back down to Earth only long enough to be bounced right back into the stratosphere. The music provides an appreciation of musical space--the distance between sounds and the silence before the boom--allowing the listener to seep into each song slowly, convincingly.

I saw Oakey at Pacha in july. He did play one really long break beat mix of Dirty Vegas - Days Gone By, but thats the only breaks I remember in the set. Granted, I think it lasted about 10 minutes.

I don't get it. Why do so many people tell other people what trance really means? or What or who to listen to? I think its all bullshit. You listen to whatever you like. period. I don't think anyone has the right to say you gotta listen to this because it's not cheese this is real trance. I respect everyone's opinion and i don't say no you are wrong because you don't like what I am listening to. That is just ridiculous. Who decides what cheese is anyway? To me cheese is what is played out. Not because it has too many vocals or too many cheesy tunes or whatever other people say cheese is.

My point is listen to what ever you like and don't listen to people that say what to listen to. I mean I listen to other people suggestions and check out what their music is all about and if I don't like it, i don't listen to it. But its ok to not like what others do.



P.S. I never meant to diss Oakey in anyway. I used to love his sets in 1999 and 2000. But recently I haven't heard any sets. I heard Bunkka and The Swordfish Soundtrack and I didn't like it at all. If anyone knows of any of his recent sets, let me know I wanna check them out, maybe I'll like them again or maybe not.

I believe that the great thing about our country (UK) in terms of dance music, is the fact that we have a good scene for most genres. This extends outside of dance music too really. In areas where we may be lacking many reputable and prolific djs/producers there is a large and commercially viable scene with millions of clubbers 'up for it' and capable of filling loads of clubs for top DJs to play. So we get the 'best' talent across the board.

We ARE lacking in the Euro-trance department, cos everything blew up too quickly in 98/9 and loads of the bandwagoneers have jumped off. Many of these are the first to diss trance, but little do they know that we're better off without them and other nations (Belgium, Holland, Germany, Italy, Canada, US, Australia...the list goes on) have continued to churn out wicked trance music. Some countries more than others depending on your tastes.

There's plenty of talent and creativity to go around: let's just continue to help dance music grow on a global scale. The next wave of clubbers will have their own sound and more DJs from many different countries will always play pioneering electronic music.

Everythin evolves and the British scene will continue on it's rollercoaster path, fulled and reported in mixmag & ministry no doubt.


Just keep on dancing!

Everyone is entitled to their own likes and dislikes. IMO. Well i don't follow the crowd and i like the german djs such as Paul Van Dyk etc. and the dutch ones ie. Ferry Corsten does it matter where they originate from??? As for the cheese issue i believe that doesn't even matter since music is music every has their own tastes for all i care you could like the "Spice Girls" and guess what i still won't give damn about that and i'm not gonna make a big deal about it.
Peeps are entitled to their likes and dislikes nuff said.

Can we all put are natianal pride aside and just agree that good music is good music regardless of were it comes from? In all honesty, every decent sized citys gonna get some big names every once in a while, and there origins mean exactly 0 to the music.
