Once upon a time in the land of trance...

[Sedna]

- Tiesto was a good DJ and producer

- John 00 Fleming was on DJMag's top 100

- The only "vocal" songs were in the form of sci-fi movie quotes




Your turn!

I actually missed the entire trance scene. First and only trance show I went to was Tiestos Kalaidoscope tour (if that's trance..?)

Pretty awful I know. :hides:

Lucky for you guys there's still plenty of good Trance around, you just have to try a little harder to find it these days.

And to answer to the thread title:

...trance was no genre for it self. It was still techno. Just with a little bit more spacey atmosphere. Tiesto and co were still shitting their pants (or at least releasing stuff under "West & Storm"), and there was no supersaw ;-)

Dubstep was yet to be born!!!

When Space Girl performed but alas... she's now an LNA I believe.

FYI if you don't know who Space Girl is... she would mix pre-produced tracks, and play multiple hardware synths over them live(I believe) Pretty good stuff last I remember, but I was 17 last time I heard that :eek:

I love techno, and I love the older trancy techno stuff before trance was around, but imo the late 90's and early 2000's were the trance hayday.

Oh man these tracks are taking me back to the good ol days. Early late 90's early 2000's yeah that was the greatest how I miss it so :(

Ya I will be there first to admit (even being a die hard trance fan for many years) that trance has been really weak the past 4-5 years. 2012 is going to be a dope year for the scene but I have a feeling all the good music is going to be more of the "trause" (trance-electro house) variety.

..It was a form of techno and not shit, circa 95 is when the rot really began to set in.

Amen to that!
