I just happened to open my email and looked at my Emotive Artist monthly message. Since i'm signed to them, they send out a roster of what is being released and what not. I saw this at the bottom of the email..and i'm like har har har?
''required...
Uplifting trance is sadly on the way out, Ferry himself told me that we all need to do something new. I recommend you guys to try new sounds, progressive trance, progressive house (have a listen to Deadmou5 for instance) and have fun experimenting. Of course electro-house and house is always in.
Thanks and hope you enjoy the news!''
So like does that mean our genre of creating uplifting trance is dying out? |

Huh!?
I live in America... I am surrounded by idiots who are spoon-fed their musical tastes from MTV. I don't know jack-crap about what genre is alive or not... I just produce whatever I damn well please when I got time.
If you never create anything that hasn't been already done a half a decade or so ago, or if you are never noticed because your bassline doesn't sound enough like a robot-fart... then that's the producer's problem.
People have said that uplifting trance has already died ever since the early 00s. It did and it didn't. It evolved and it didn't evolve. What else is new? I don't live by the maxim: WWFP (What would Ferry Produce).
I'll go back to my initial response: "huh!?" |

That's a horrible thing for you label to say. I mean ffs, produce what you feel like producing. No need to force anything.
I doubt uplifting is dying. They have been saying that since 2002 and it seems to be on the rise, not on the way down. Music is a cycle. We had the "golden years of tranc", then prog, now it's electro, soon it will be tech, and by 2010 it will be melodic/uplifting again, and so on. |

Some very sagacious words; although, I would like to add that labels such as Anjunabeats have been maintaining some standards and keeping it alive.
The electro sound and "phat basses" in dance music are the hot things right now, which I find does not adequately suffice for melodic music. It's all about a clubbish feel now. Oh well, what can you do... |

In 12 months, uplifting trance will be the rage again.
The dirty/minimal/tech trend is dying and moving on to deep house.
edit: I'd also like to add that trance is hardly dying popularity wise. I think it's the rock n' roll of EDM, it's here to stay. We've had a 2-4 years or so of having electro/tech being popular. At the same time, trance is still popular, so no matter what the trend, uplifting trance has a history of staying at the top. |

| Nothing new... Lot of different labels try to give pointers to their signed artist to try get them to make tunes that sell at the moment. Remember for label it's all about the money - it's just like any business out there. They need to make money in order to survive, and that means when the market is changing, they have to adopt, and try to acquire as much market share as possible - in this case: adjusting the music style to follow what's hot or inn at the moment.. You always have a choice, you can follow their advice or ignore it and change labels... |
