14. Chunk & Twist "Battery Life" (Anjunadeep - From Volume Five)
15. DJ Remy "Scrap" (68 Recordings)
only 4 tracks aren't Anjuna... unless i'm reading it wrong :P
maybe i'm just being a bitch, but shouldn't a weekly radio show, (presumably) promoting trance, not just be a label peddling their wares???
thoughts? |

| the question is, does it affect your listening experience in any way? |

well it's still good, but like i said:
if some n00b (i'll call that n00b myself before someone beats me to it) is listening to TATW, going "so this is what trance is...?" which, since the show's called "trance around the world", and not "trance from A&B's biased standpoint" isn't unreasonable: are these listeners totally missing out on what trance music is? missing the scene, which is what A&B are meant to be/say they're doing?
I'm basically calling A&B promo-whores |

it was a special because they released anjuna beats volume 5 (some cd) today
yeah link thing
but IMO they are a bit bias anyway! I still like the listen though! |

, guess i should do homework before thread-posting XD |

its just good marketing really
they run a record label, so if the tunes get airplay it will generate more sales.... i think they are entitled to do it to a certain extent |

Reading the title of the show would have helped:
Trance Around The World 160 - Volume 5 Special
:rolleyes:
And that was a ing awesome show! |

haha- true fledz--
i still feel like they play alot of anjuna stuff C/F armin playing armada stuff, but yeah, oh well... |

They do but they are a label so you would expect what they sign to be what they like, hence what they play.
And the Anjuna crowd laps it up anyway and votes all the Anjuna tunes to be the weekly winners. To be expected though, it doesn't bother me that much.
I listen to ASOT for the more upfront tunes, even though Armin tends to hold back and play stuff closer to the release date in most cases which is a good thing. |

+1, and agree with what the artist formerly known as inacoma said. ASOT does it, while can't they? it'd be stupid of them not to. |

| i think it's just lazy if all they do is pimp their own stuff. does nothing for the scene. ASOT still has a bit of variety in the labels, even if the songs sound the same :p in j00fs radio show you are lucky to get more than 1 tune by him or on the label. because its a dj's show. dj's play music from all sorts of different people. |
