I don't think trance is the go to genre for new producers these days. Its day has been and gone IMO.

That said, I think the fact that you're looking at the same names over and over might suggest that you just aren't very good at doing beatport research. Its a complaint I usually hear from people who just aren't good at following the connections between DJs, labels and remixers to discover more artists and tracks, and instead return to the same artists over and over again.

In pretty much every genre of music, some of the best music usually gets the least attention, instead giving it to disposable bullshit the mainstream media and general population would rather focus on.

Trance isn't any different. There's plenty of good music being made by a large variety of producers if you look hard enough.

Every ocean has its sharks and its eels. I do belong to the latter category.

The Trance scene is now effectively divided into several camps which gives the wrong impression that it's dead, and people like me would rather stay off the radar from the big names, that why I'm hiding as an eel at present time. It might take years until the sharks disappear, but those owning your ears right now will fade away, sooner or later.

what makes you say that more sharks will not replace the current sharks?(wait you're not exactly saying that ) the industry is a cool place. businessmen will always seem to be at the forefront, to my eyes anyways.

it's cyclically more or less, but overall the truly greedy peepz inside the bizz have always existed. But the fact there's a true division among the trance fans between the die hard ones and the cheesy-fluffy types proves that something is going to change drastically in the next few years, and I truly hope that club music gets back to the underground. That's how I discovered your music by the way, which I appreciate a lot.

I had the shock of my life today when looking at what an underground label filed in progressive and trance: a remake of ICE MC! I don't know why, how, but no matter, I don't belong to that kind of scene, thanks but no thanks.

yes, but hey, there will ALWAYS be some integrity in the scene no matter, and you are a PRIME example of it. its also special that you're commenting in this thread about the subject. I dont want to ball-wash, but this remix that was just released on mistique REALLY touched me.



all those years, and you're still making music that touches people that dwell deep in the underground type style. That is most respectful. dont stop!(you wont!)

Very nice remix Laurent,no surprise there

We've discussed the content of this thread before on this forum but one thing seems to have been missed by the op, which IMO, is part of the problem. Saturation of the scene with too many labels trying to make a fast buck signing sub-par tracks.

It's good to see Bonzai reducing it's label roster to focus on quality rather than quantity. The rest should follow suit.

I agree with the statement that many talented producers dont get a chance, unfortunately many shit ones do and not just those at the more commercial end.

Interesting note about 'overproduction'. I totally agree, there are many polished tunes out there with little emotive content.

Latest releases:
Audio Noir 'Revelation' (Narel Remix) (Bonzai & Perfecto)
06R 'Air 2.0' (Narel's Warm Air Remix) (Green Martian)
Narel 'The Machines Were Dreaming' (L*C*D Recordings)

Let's face it guys, it's all "in da club" "dutch lead" based and "minimal" "electro" what people play nowadays

so David Guetta, Mark Knight, Wolfgang Gartner, Afrojack, Deadmau5, Swedish House Mafia are the new heroes. This is the stuff that sells. They rule the Beatport charts. Whether you like there stuff or not. And then you have the ASOT & TATW "fluffy trance" like Lolo puts it very nicely. that's the FLStudio template type "me too productions" so i guess it depends in which camp you want to be in (or just keep on doing your own thing, regardless, which i think is the best)
