Ok please help me out a bit. I dont know if anyone has started a thread like this already, but if so please gimme the url and delete this one.

But what I want to know...how do I know if a track is progressive, uplifting trance, hardhouse, or any other sort of trance??? I've been reading these posts here and I dont know it anymore. Can someone please explain it to me?? and give me some examples of uplifting traxx/producers, progressive traxx/producers etc...

Oh and what does everyone mean with a flat or cheese song? Is it a sort of a fake trance song?

thanks for helping =))

Well personally i dont know What is What? WHAT THE FOOK? ;)
not funny anymore..:mad:
uplifting traxx/producers
id say..... Ferry, Tiesto, PvD(proggressive too) AvB(prog. too sometimes..)Rank 1, Dumonde
tracks? well all tracks by them and their aliases..gouryella system f and whatever
progressive traxx/producers
GLOBAL UNDERGROUND- nuff said (well not enough ;) : almost any Dj of their "crew", and the songs on the discs are mainly prog House/ prog Trance)
HardHouse..hm no clue..maybe voodoo and serano or warp brothers/brooklyn bounce..
Chill would be stuff from Chicane and Schiller
TechTrance would be Picotto
Hardtrance : Scot Project ...arome..
Flippe

Kytracid
okay i'll try to give a few examples of genres

tech-trance
-----------
I fusion between techno and trance (obviously ;) examples would be latest tunes from Picotto like Verdi, Like this Like that, Pegusas

Uplifting Trance
-----------------
Uplifting melodies and basically the most popular form of trance because it appeals to most people. Examples would be Tiesto, Corsten, Armin van Buuren, Above and Beyond, Rank 1, Gouryella etc.

Progressive Trance
------------------
Tunes which blend in elements from house and trance and usually aren't uplifting. Examples of progressive producers are Bedrock (Digweed), Sasha, Breeder, Sander Klienenberg etc.

Progressive House
------------------
Similar to progressive trance but with more housey elements. Examples would be Brother in Rythum, Way out West, James Holden.

Hard Trance
------------
Bangin Trance sounds, usually very fast. Examples would be comic gate, dumonde or Talla 2XCL (I'm not a big fan of hard trance so i'm not too sure about this)

Trance-Breaks
-------------
Stuff by Hybrid....the fusion of breaks and trance melodies.

Nu-Breaks
------------
One word...Adam Freedland

Hope that helps....remember though that genre's are created by the media not the artists. It's all about good music not specific genre's.
DJ Fien
Kleinenberg is more progressive house now - Just take a look @ his NuBreed 004.
