Progressive/Trance in 2013 or just straight EDM

So over the past year or so it became apparent that the trance scene was beginning to dilute itself with the incorporation of electro/progressive house influence in the music, and I remember pretty much everyone was getting pissed off.
But being a producer myself, studying the methodology of all my influence in both their music and interviews, something dawned on me.
Why should a producer be limited to that of their genre? Who says a trance producer should only make trance?
It's gotten to the point where I actually kind of prefer it this way, because I can listen to Mat Zo, Norin & Rad, Juventa, Ilan Bluestone, Genix, even Armin and a whole other abundance of musicians and be able to distinguish their music more personally than just thinking of them all as trance producers.
The music they make may not be as complex as it was in the past, but keep in mind of what sounds good and what doesn't when heard at concert venues. Time is money and we producers put in a lot of it, so the only question I have for you guys is:
Who does it well and who doesn't? Just curious to see what this forum thinks of it. |

| TA were getting pissed about this ten years ago. Most of us have moved on and haven't considered most of the artist you mentioned trance producers for a very long time, if ever. |

They shouldn't just like the old guys never did e.g. Jam & Spoon. People just like putting tags on producers, I blame internet... |

| It is comforting that I can still come on here safe in the knowledge that the majority of people on the forum know what real trance and progressive is. |

Oliver Lieb has done this since the early 90s under his various aliases each associated with various sounds. Plenty of other producers have been doing the same thing since the start of it all, its just nowdays they include their "main" name in the artist description for marketing purposes.
I don't see any reason an artist should only produce in a single genre (especially one as formulaic as trance) its simply a death sentence to alot of potential creativity. |
