OK. Let me just say that as of now, I'm completely lost in the Trance scene. I haven't been downloading or buying much new material sicne the last DJ Tiësto 'Concert', in 2004. During 2003 to the present, I pretty much stopped collecting music. I got broadband in late 2004 & burned a lot of stuff. Now, I'd like to know this:
What's really & truly worth getting from the last 2.5 years? What would you consider the 'top 100' Trance albums/mixes/live sets of 2003, 2004, & this year (so far)? I love Trance, but don't know where to start now, after not keeping up since 2003. Has much changed since then? Is DJ Tiësto, PvD, AvB, & Ferry Corsten still out on top?
Thanks for any info... |

ehm you prolly haven't heard of Whiteroom yet (it's a project of Adam White & Andy Moor), they have 2 releases, The White Room & Someday, which are pretty good
Fred Baker also makes some wicked trance & techtrance :crazy: (check out Confirmation, La Parts Des Anges, Total Blackout)
Mojado makes some wicked techtrance (Naranja you might know, El Toro, Señorita is the new one)
Above & Beyond has some new stuff going on, like Air For Life (with Andy Moor), pretty good :)
check out Tiësto's ISOS4, which imo is pretty good (especially song 1 & 2 of CD2, which are also on the 12" Sampler)
some more titles:
Ernesto vs Bastian - Darkside Of The Moon
Electrovoya - Effervesce
Ferry Corsten - Holding On
Kyau vs Albert their stuff also rocks (Made Of Sun, Falling Anywhere, Velvet Morning)
Mr Sam - Lyteo (Rank 1 Remix)
Reflekt - Need To Feel Loved
Way Out West is still big with their songs Killa & Don't Forget Me, really wicked tunes
i hope you appreciate this post, its the trance i most liked in the past 1,5 - 2 years |

Here's a summary of what happened in the trance scene:
Unfortunately, these last 2 years seem to be recognised by most people as the continuation of the downfall of trance. Not necessarily in terms of popularity, Tiesto has been packing some stadiums, but in terms of quality. From the point of view of most epic trancers, it lost the "special feeling" from the 1999 era whatever that might have been. The new rising stars of the last 2 years have been bedroom-producers armed with software synths only with the goal of getting their tracks on ASOT.
Yeah, that radio show from Armin is still going on, over 200 episodes now. Dunno exactly how it has been sounding lately, haven't listened to it in over a year i think. But many people have been criticising it very harshly, as it appears to have sucked the entire trance scene into some boring that hasn't evolved anything in a few years. Or something like that.
So basically, Armin, Andy Moor, Markus Schulz, Gabriel & Dresden are the big names now (Armin and Markus more as dj's, Andy and G&D more as producers). Last time I checked their sound sucked, but you might like it, dunno. PvD, Tiesto and Ferry all have kept the superstar status, but haven't done anything particularly remarkable. PvD bashes ASOT trance on the press only to play it in his sets. Tiesto is doing this series of In Concert, popular as , not anything special musically tho. Ferry has been a bit more low-profile, but i think he released a compilation recently. |
