I am a self professed minimal house head. I usually hang out on the beatport forums but decided to check things out over here at TA for awhile. I like dark clubs with people dancing with each other as opposed to all facing the DJ booth and worshipping the DJ. I have seen pretty much the entire top DJs from the last 10 years play and seeing the Armin, Tiesto fanboys/fangirls are the biggest joke to clubbing. These are most uneducated music fans in EDM.
That being said, I have a guilty pleasure. Markus Schulz trance is freakin sick. That goofy dude has layed down some really sick sets and tracks the last 2 years.
Anyone else have a "trance" guilty pleasure?

I have "minimal house" guilty pleasures.
iTranscendence
A & B for me too. Or any older progressive trance.

Not really, but I'll still check out a trance event every few months. Simon Patterson next week most likely.

Yes, I occasionally check in on trance every now and then...sometimes I hear decent stuff, often times not. I would say my main guilty pleasure though is "plink-plonk" minimal.
kadomony
hard trance is a guilty pleasure for me as well.
dont listen to it at all really anymore but it still holds a place in my heart :D

EDM used to be my guilty pleasure :o
BUT, I soon realized that if I didn't feel comfortable saying that I liked it then I didn't really like it. Sure, I get when I play trance and I'm called a fag when I play house but I've learned to shrug it off. I love happy hardcore and I wear my kandi with pride even though a lot of people hate it (especially here lol).
long story short: stop feeling guilty about your guilty pleasure.
owien
yeah Markus Schulz and m.i.k.e and jhon oo fleming :p :p

Nothing guilty. If it's guilty then you don't really like it.

Not necessarily. There's always music that goes against everything you like about music and represents everything you usually hate, but for no rational reason you enjoy it anyway. You feel guilty because you should hate it.
