so tell me if I have this right...
Harder better produced trance is going to Tech sounds.
as "progressive" aka watered down trance is taking the commercial route to mimmick Call on me, till that sound gets boring, then jump and migrate again.
I feel true progressive house & trance is moving in a hard techy phase as well, for examples, Descent & Inkfish.
Anyway you know in 3-4 years when people start complaining about the mono-toneness of "tech trance" some dj will start droping melodic stuff again... |
no not really. i don't think call on me is an example of what i'm talking about. basically go listen to a recent set by sasha or sander kleinenberg...that's what i'm talking about... |

| Trance is going nowhere. It's hit a creative plateau and isn't getting any new talent. House is the place where innovation is really happening these days. Check out the electro resurrection, the rise of funky house and the increasing rock influences. |

i'm sorry if i chose to broaden my forcasts past trance...but perhaps i was looking at the "next big thing" part of the thread, which as far as i'm concerned isn't trance...so yeah...:p |

yea i agree with Eric Pyrdz and such, that funky electro house. |
Prydz must be one of the most exciting talents right now in my opinion, both as a producer - apart from Call On Me, which is still quite good for a mainstream charts topper - and as a dj - judging by his essential mix which has some really fresh stuff. I'm still trying to find out what exact (sub)genre is he playing and producing.. the only way i can describe it is as funky house with loads of techy influences and a little bit even of epic trance influences (Pryda - Nile certainly have these).
But this doesn't have jack to do with the topic, which is the evolution of trance itself. Who is in a dead end right now.. i guess epic trance will either go more commercial, or disappear onto the underground. Might take some time tho, after all on a purely musically perspective, epic trance has been without any kind of evolution for about the last 5 years. As for tech-trance, i think it's turned into complete since about Tiesto decided to start messing around with it in Flight 643. It ended up as an horrid mess mixing up the worse elements of techno with the worse elements of trance and at some point it doesn't even sound much connected to techno anymore. Sander van Doorn and maybe Oliver Shine are some of the few that make decent tech-trance which features rather deep influences from the prog area, but still it's quite far from the awesome tracks Oliver Lieb used to make back in the days. I dunno exactly where tech-trance is heading, but i'm not too optimistic about it. |

| i think uplifting trance itself lost its balls in trying to be to overly happy, fluffy or progressive. |

I still don't understand how the fluffy stuff even came to be called "Trance" |

| Trance peaked in 2001, yet Armin and allot of other djs raped that sound so much but with less quality it started to get old and sick. Same same beat increase the filters on the sounds until it hits a peak then a 128 bar breakdown with an outro, wtf is that bull get a new ign way of making music. Who will change this lame way? |
