This is a thread to discuss & share about this genre of music. If it is not your taste, then please refrain from bashing. This thread is for those who like it. Because I have a very eclectic taste in music, I love this genre of music too. I think it's a breath of fresh air when you wanna get away from the heavy repetitive beats of hiphop, R&B sometimes. I'm a huge fan of VOCAL trance.

Just a FYI: Definitions (Yes, there are variations + differences)

Trance

Techno

Vocal Trance

Rave

House

Electronic(a)

Nope sorry, I did though. To Tiesto, Kamaya Painters, Ayla, DJ Tandu.

A little bit of both but I'm not really into them.

i love dj sammy, groove coverage, ATB, alice deejay, special d and FLIP N FILL!!!! =D

Post your best hard stuff!

mine.. DJ Ballon - Techno Rocker

in ma opinion this genre isnt very good..
i dont like it but everyone got their own opinion ;D

I don't consider trance/techno music.

My favourite Hard Trance track has got to be Thomas Rubin - Cold Night (Dj Scot Project Remix)



I think to be a trance/techno producer takes more effort than being a rap/hip hop artist. Do you know that there is a thing called dance and vocal trance where people sing? A lot of them sing very well and choose to be in this industry cause their voice suits it...If playing two spoons is music, then obviously this is music, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

^ PREACH!!

GO HARDSTYLE!

Deepack - The Prophecy

i love paul okenfold

yea...really like trance..techno...some...not favoring too much singing...unless it's like house..mellow sound..
couple im into lately
alex fakey- painted black
cosmic gate- human beings
ATB- ecstasy
cosmic gate- fire wire
LCD (i think)- disco infiltrator
etc..

i actually dont really like the DJ stuff much..original mix i like...cosmic gate has an awsome sound i say

I hardly ever return to the threads I make because I just make them so that people will have a place to post and talk and have their own opinions or wtv.

But, I just gotta say that I love the way you wrote/answered that. Trance/Techno is music. Why wouldn't it be? You're absolutely right. Dance and vocal trance/techno are sometimes better than listening to the same repetitive beats out there in the music industry nowadays. Some of them are actually quite good, and it evokes a new type of feel and emotions when you listen to it. Sure, it mostly sends out the same message but it is relatively awesome music.

But of course, everyone is entitled to their own opinion : )

i love techno! here are some of the artist i listen to:
-karisma, dj mangoo, groove coverage, sarina paris, dj sammy, natalise, atc, candee jay, cascada, daddy dj, dj liquid, dj inphinity, dht, dj marksi, dj mystik (mytic), dj dizzy, dj star, dj photik, dj rad, zoe, dj jpopp, dj babyboi, erika, klea

and theres sooo many more. i jsut love the beats but some of my friends hate it cuz the beats repeat too much

I, for one, don't know much about trance/techno. But, I have heard of some of the songs. To me, it just sounds like some really fast upbeat tune with or without words.

Yeah, it's better than listening to songs with repetitive beats and such, but it just doesn't suit my idea of the term music. =/


don't kill me. /)_(\

I like trance. Techno is BLAH most times but I can tolerate some of it.

neva heard of those.

I like commercial trance/techno.

Very rarely I like stuff that doesn't have vocals.

I like DDR kinda music.

wheres a good place to get trance/techno music?

^download.com has got some really good hard trance artists that upload their music there...
rave is a good place to get to hear some nice trance/techno..haha..it's pretty easy to find the tracks if the artist is pretty famous..like alice dj, tiesto, dj sammy etc..are all pretty big...but their sound doesnt suit me much

if i had a server to up stuff, i would. ive got nearly 100gigs of this and everything else ):

but music only bt sites are good ones, theyre usually upping live sets and 0day rls's.

Lol naw, I didn't mean to bite your head off. It's just that so many people misunderstand trance/techno and label it 'Gino Beats' (please don't ever use that term for trance/techno...that's one of my biggest pet peeves lol ) Anyway, yea...I've tried making mixes, which are just compilations of tracks that are mixed together, and it was hard as hell! If mixing is THAT hard, then remixing or producing must be crazy! Yea, rap artists produce and remix too, but theirs just has more lyrics, and to be honest, rap beats aren't any more repetitive than trance/techno beats are

Rather than saying it's not your 'idea' of music, say that it's not your 'type' cause almost anything can be defined as music. Look at Stomp! Their stuff is just banging things and making beats out of everyday items, but they're still considered music. Well yea, if you don't really know much about trance/techno, look into it. You might not like it, but at least you took the time to try it out =)

Gah. Sorry for blabbing...I can't help it. I'm a trancehead at heart d(-__-)b

100 gigs? wow

mixing isnt that hard, its just getting the fundamentals down, rhythm and beat counting.

which is probably the most important thing.

yeah 100 gigs and a ton of vinyl/cds. im a slut haha

^haha...awsome...u rock..
do u know how to work fruity loops than?...cause i dled the demo for fun...always wanna try mixing some trance...learn to mix some trance actually...haha...

the thing w/fruityloops is that you need ALOT of samples and its a pain in the ass if youre stuck w/the demo or have to pay for them.

when i install fruityloops again, ill help you out. its been awhile =\

but really, if you get a chance, play w/decks and some vinyl. just feeling the actual thing and manipulating it, you learn things so much faster

Yea mixing's not THAT hard, but the thing is you have to get the right rhythm and choose the right music to mix with. Oh and Fruityloops is very confusing in my opinion...I use Reason. I had this file with a whole bunch of Fruitloop hard bass beats, but I can't seem to find it right now....

Oh and res0nate, why don't you show us your winamp playlist? I'd love to see what kind of tracks you have =) (lol and damn 100 gigs....that's crazy!)

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DKWLUF2Z

part of the list. too lazy to get on my top / xfer stuff from the pod. but thats a good portion of just the "electronic" stuff. deleted alot of pre2k5 stuff.

edit: does anyone have the "tim deluxe" album? has hte tracks "Just wont do" and such? btw, the leaked madonna track is good stuff

i prefer trance. i don't like "dance."
i don't know how i can tell the difference, but i think dance is more poppy.

DJ Tiesto, Ferry Corsten and Armin van Buuren are one of my favourites.

ah..icic..well..im just playing it for now for fun...maybe i ll take a lesson or something when i really want to mix some trance....all for fun..

&rea - yea...i think djs that mix their own trance or rhythm use beats that they made right?...o_o..

quite fasinated by hard trance...so tempeted to create something like that my self..>__<...

i love cosmic gate's human beings...after so many listens..im still not tired of it..i like the sound

im a noob on Trance/ Techno so..whats the difference between the two?

dl a track from carl cox / sven vath / dave pearce, then do the same w/paul van dyk / tiesto or armin van buuren.

the former 3 are techno and the latter are trance. when you listen to the tracks you can distinguish the differences. i hate explaining the minute diffs' in each =\

Well mixing is just getting tracks that already exist and putting them together in a way that suits the style and rhythm. So say I want to make a mix...I get the tracks I want...Decide what order to put them in, and use a mixer to create smooth transitions. The thing is...It's hard to decide if the tracks you chose fit together well enough to be unified I guess.

Remixing is getting a previously released song and adding/changing something about the track. It can be subtle or very drastic.

Producing is what it sounds like. You start from scratch. Get the beats, add any sound effects you want and whatnot. It's all made by you.

I'm guessing what you're looking to do is produce, which is the hardest of the three. Well good luck with that, and if you produce anything, send me some of your stuff =) I'm up for anything new
