I was actually putting one together last week. I got about 80 minutes in and it was flowing really well, then the next tune I played didn't work, I lost the flow and had no idea how to get to where I wanted to be at the end of the mix. And as yet, I've yet to figure out what to do with it. |

This forum is quiet because the onset of social media provided a lot of new outlets that are more convenient for discussing and sharing music, along with the fact that Trance just simply isn't as popular as it used to be. |

I suppose I should post on-topic, as well.
SIT (Vlad Caia & Cristi Cons) have been the more interesting DJ's/producers for me in the past few months. They've taken the unique Romanian minimal techno sound and added a touch of melody to it, with sets that just glide along and make your feet keep shuffling. I have a feeling this kind of stuff might not be well-received here, but whatever. 's my jam.

Edit: Honorable mention goes to Ion Ludwig, who puts together some outstanding live sets, such as this three-hour gem. https://soundcloud.com/ion-ludwig/i...g-live-club-der |

I really don't get why someone would say that in 2016. The music is totally different to the minimal/electro dominance of 10 years ago. For all the hand-wringing about trance and progressive being dead, I hear more covert trance music now than ever. |

Don't agree at all. There isn't as much innovation as there used to be around 2009-2012 but the average quality has gotten really high. A lot of records coming out now would have been classic a few years ago but they are maybe getting a bit drowned out. When everything's good, nothing's great.

I think this has been brought up before - but what outlets? Reddit is for dance music discussion and the 'music discussion' in my Facebook feed is just people posting uncommented Youtube links and the occasional scene gossip and I have a lot of 'music people' on there.

I bought the SIT records with 'Angels' on it, really great track. I also bought the Ion Ludwig album, that one track where he sampled a church choir is lovely. A lot of stuff from that scene seems painfully overhyped to me, like that french Hostom and Varhat stuff but some great records have come out of it. I would say I'm a techno DJ first and I still buy quite a bit of that stuff. Lovely record I bought recently is this one from a new german label - http://www.juno.co.uk/products/chri...e-ep/612692-01/
Adam(420) is super into that kinda stuff (he put me on a few of these labels) but he doesn't really post here anymore. |

meh, thats just how i feel, not really talking about trance i guess more techno
if minimal/electro was dominating 10 years ago, what sound is dominating now? |

I'm really over 95% of that tooly boring dark berghain type stuff but I'm still finding lots of great techno to buy. Five years ago you couldn't find not nearly as many great melodic/detroit/dub/oldschool/trancy records.
I don't think there's a dominating sound anymore - that's the state of scene. Even the most ing obscure artists that would have never gotten bookings a decade ago are touring now, there's basically a niche for everything. Like, think of that Oscar Suliman guy. No way in hell a Syrian wedding singer would have gotten gigs at major dance music festivals a decade ago! I think that's also why to some people, quality is declining - there are very little obvious classics anymore where everyone can agree they are great. |

| There's a summer party series here done by gingy, and on the first bill was Claude young and stingray ( Avalon Emerson as well ) but I don't listen to her. It was refreshing to here Claude young play, house-disco-techno, scratching and some DJ tricks. Then stingray came and played some crazy electro. I suppose that's the sound that's doing it for me. |
