Trance: 2000 - 2010
View this Thread in Original format

OK, so the ninetees have had very much influenced the Trance genre in general. We saw the genre devellop, in ways of Acid, Classic, Hard, progressive and anthem. Up until the fall of the anthem subgenre, all was very clear.
But what has this decennium brought us so far? And which way will it go for the next 5 years?

i'm noticing instrumentals are more pervasive... guitar, drums, piano, etc... lyrics are getting less cheesy, beats are getting punchier and more sophisticated/playful... or maybe my tastes are just changing :o

personally I feel the opposite. the lyrics are becoming much cheesier and producers borrow much more elements from eachother. in 2000 we had one group with Above & Beyond sound. Today we have like 50 or something. Which most of are on the same label.

I think it's just a matter of time until the market gets satisfied with too many Shivers and Eternities and the epic trance of today will slowly fall back paving road for more versatile and forward thinking acts and labels. We already see some of them on the raise such as Source of Gravity, Propulsion, J00F, Iboga, Digital Structures etc.

I also think that many producers will give up copying the sound of 99 and this will be positive for the trance music. Since most efforts put down on doing so leads nowhere. Instead I think that some successful artists will go to the roots of trance music and borrow elements there. From the time when trance music was entrancing without any vocals or massive breaks.

some labels are getting better and better and improving alot each year...as other labels, well, they went down the ter *cough armada cough*

i'll agree with that... the big labels are getting more and more formulaic instead of experimental and cutting edge, but that's pretty much the same in every genre. god bless pop-culture :whip:

boring overadvanced progressive . The club culture will be gone. Everyone will be sitting lonely behind their computer being brainwashed by some slow anti-party dj's.

If your concept of "club culture" is limited to slosh hands-in-the-air uberanthems and blind epic DJ worship, maaaaybe so! :haha:

Trance will stay until some new people break through. Until the likes of PvD/Armin/Oakey/Tiesto retire, the scene will stay as it is at the moment, as people make tracks like the tunes these DJs will play, because they want them to play their track.
