Trance! (lyrics, techno, dance, house, metal)

CanwllCorfe · 02-08-2009, 10:39 PM

Anyone on here as obsessed with it as I am?? I've been into it since around 2000. It's kinda hard to talk to anyone about it cause I live in a tiny town so if I ever mention it, someone always responds yeah!! Like Sandstorm and Zombie Nation! and I just put my head in my hands and walk away. I used to just be into uplifting like Andy Blueman, Aly & Fila, and Sean Tyas but eventually I starting liking tech. I also enjoy hardstyle, but only the most aggressive stuff like B-Front and DJ Rob, **** nu style

I like Trance but find myself bored by it within half an hour. I personally like Armin Van Buuren and Sander Kleinenberg mixes. Ferry Corsten has done a few mixes that I like.

CanwllCorfe · 02-09-2009, 08:40 PM

Ahh if you like Armin van Buuren and Sander Kleinenberg then you are more into progressive house which is Trance's closest relative. I'm picky with it because it can get boring, I try to find the more beautiful and melodic tracks. Ferry Corsten is trance but lately has been delving into electro-ish stuff. His song Brainbox sounds almost like something Mr.Oizo would make.

I don't understand. I thought Progressive House was a sub-genre of Trance. So where do you draw the line between what is Trance and not? Honest question--just want to understand...

oh I'd be glad to explain

house is it's own genre. and is quite popular here in the US along with dance. theres all kinds of it. progressive house, electro house, italo house, tribal house, etc. it is much slower and calmer than trance, well, except for progressive trance. progressive trance and progressive house are very closely related and are really hard to tell apart. house is much more simple and less energetic. it is more club oriented and smooth. it's good for like a party in New York City, it's good background music. it's not loud or brash or anything. trance tends to have more energy and producers are more apt to be emotionally expressive. for example, Andy Blueman made an "Emotional" mix for his song called Everlasting and Daniel Kandi makes so called "Emotional" remixes for tracks like Kiholm's Fragile and Ralpha's Pandora.

YouTube - Aly & Fila - Lost Language (Armin Only 2008) : this would be an example of a song really uplifting and you can tell by the crowd reaction when the break comes, everyones arms are in the air and it's very euphoric

YouTube - Kirsty Hawkshaw meets Tenishia - Outsiders (Jose Amnesia remix) HQ : this is a song that's kind of in the middle between progressive house and progressive trance. it has the tempo and smoothness of house, but the atmosphere of a trance song

YouTube - Bad Boy Bill - Behind The Decks LIVE Trailer : this is the epitome of house, it's more dance oriented. kinda like funky, grinding, sex music

YouTube - [Full] Andy Blueman - Sea Tides (Original Mix) : Andy Blueman makes quite energetic AND emotional tracks. especially the breaks (the gentle parts in the middle)

hope I helped!

that's more house. as I mentioned, house is very heavy on the whole sexual theme, which is fine! sex is great stuff. here's an example :

YouTube - Melleefresh & Deadmau5 - Hey Baby (Original Mix) : Deadmau5 is very big in both the house, and trance genres. he delves into house more, but some songs could be considered neo trance, which is a new kind of trance. check out his song Brazil to see what I mean. Kyau & Albert along with Inpetto and Myon & Shane54 are considered to be producers in this new genre. even though Kyau & Albert have been around way before this term was thought up

Thanks for explanation, and especially the tracks. I suppose what has confused me in the past is that some artists have delved into both house and trance, as you explain; so I've tended to lump all music into trance with more or less "danceability." But, I get the distinction that you are making. Thanks again.

Eat Static is psytrance, right?

CanwllCorfe · 02-10-2009, 03:55 PM

all music takes talent, it's just a matter of whether you like it or not. I looked them up on Discogs and I guess they're really into drugs aren't they.
