how can anybody like the current trance, dance music that's out? it's terrible.

[refujiunderground]

i know i'm not tripping when i'm saying almost all of these songs have the same beat with a different melody with horrendous singing or some annoying hook. all you can do is just jump up and down to this corny shit, no way in hell anybody can dance to this. it's funny watching people try to dance to it to. they either look real stupid or they are all over the place to the point where it's pathetic. i blame those jersey shore jerk offs for this latest trend












my gym has the audacity to play this bullshit as workout music too. how the fuck is anybody supposed to pump iron or lift weights to this estrogen friendly music? can you even maintain an erection fucking to this music? damn, it's like the late 90s except instead of the boy bands and britney spears, it's a bunch of fat boy slims (fuck that dude by the way) running around trying to spread their glowstick bullshit outside rave halls or whereever would tolerate this wackness. i want my music back.

[Kabluey]

Sorry, can't resist this stuff.

ecstasy.

lots and lots of ecstasy.

it's the only possible explanation for the entire trance genre.

well, if that's the case, then it must really suck that bad if people can't listen to it sober. smh @ people trying really hard to dance to this shit and looking silly as hell in doing so. whenever they would play this bullshit music at the club when i used to go there with my bro and my friends sometime ago, i would play the wall and just chill wondering if i made a huge mistake even showing up there. the only bright side to that whole shit is thinking back at the terrible music, the women that were dancing around dressed up like hos on the stroll, and the guys that i paid more attention to than the women that were attention whoring made me realize that i probably was gay.

If this is what your experience with trance and dance music is limited to then I can understand your feelings towards it. Everyone has an opinion. /shrug

well back in 2003-2004, i gave it a chance. it was cool until it just got boring and then boring became unbearable. i would rather listen to country, heavy metal or fort minor.

[GiancarloC]

I think its catchy, and no I don't use drugs. I find some of it catchy, especially stuff by David Guetta. I've also danced to LMFAO as they play it in Arena (Hollywood nightclub).

You know what? People have their tastes. Why don't you leave it at that? Some people will like country music, and I can't be bothered to listen to it... but, that's their choice in my music. Same goes with ranchera music... not my thing. I'm more into urbano... but I've talked about that a thousand times. Some people here really hate urbano/reggaeton... and I don't expect them to accept my tastes in music, so I'll leave it at that.

I'm not going to insult people who have different tastes of music then me. If you went to a club that plays music you don't like... don't go there anymore. I've done that with several clubs in LA... I simply don't go to them.

[Paws]

refujiunderground, what music do you listen to?

Some of the examples aren't even Dance or Trance music, but Electro House.

[freefall]

The songs you posted are still pretty generous to ears.

Some, however, are more suitable for Van Gogh's ears

[MoufOfKhaos]

I can go as far as to say how can anyone like the thumpa thumpa thumpa genre at all, but considering I love La Bouche, that'd be a misnomer.

But then again, all the dance music I like came out in the 90's. So there's that as well. We were spoiled with good music back then... and singers who could siiiiiiiiiiiiiiing.

[tombastep]

You seem to have a problem with other peoples taste in music. Who cares.

[pat grimshaw]

This genre of pop music in the OP makes more sense than some of the other current genres of pop music around now, IMO, such as Country & Western, God Music, Rap & Bling, Modern Jazz, Teenage Wigga Blues, Baby Boomers' Rock Music, etc

[Zabotugi]

You seem to have a problem with other peoples taste in music. Who cares.

YES! Labouche was the shit. I have almost all their songs on my mp3. RIP Melanie Thornton.


Culture beat, Real McCoy and others were awesome too!

[Zabotugi]

There are MANY other genres in electronica that are awesome in my opinion. I LOVE psytrance, happy hardcore, jumptyle, hardstyle, gabber, dnb, dubstep and many others.

I love me some trance - Andy Blueman is an amazing composer and mixer. This is how trance should be!

Unfortunately, he's now moving more into pure orchestral works so the third video below 'Away From The Sun' is more likely to remain an unfinished trance track and become a full blown orchestral piece. That said, it will be an amazing piece! Best listened to with headphones to get the full depth of the background bass notes that you feel more than hear.

The fourth video has a wonderful breakdown around 2.45 which reveals the beautiful melody, and the 5th video is just a favourite.

Back in college I would say yes. I still don't mind it now but the "mainstream" crap being put out is beyond garbage. David Guetta is a pox on the electronic music scene.

A good mix of some of my favorite trance songs...











^In my mind, this song would be a kickass boss song in a video game.

[Marco Sensual]

Trance music from today have changed.Its normal.Things are changing.Music cant always sound the same.Trance music from today is very different from trance music from the 90s.In trance music from today,you can hear electro in about half trance songs.I hate electro.Electro is basically the main focus in dance music from the 2000s.You hear electro in house music and trance music as well.It looks like electro will not go away anytime soon.

Electro came out in dance music around 2003.Since then electro never went away.Electro music often sounds like farts or a bee buzzing.

The thing with trance music from today is that it doesnt sounds like trance anymore.Lots of trance songs from today are 130 BPM or even lower.Trance is supposed to be at least 136 BPM.Keep in mind that in the 90s,lots of songs where 160 BPM or higher.It was the real trance sound.Trance music is not like that anymore.

The best years of trance music is definitely between 1994 and 1999.Trance music between 2000 and 2003 is great.Trance from 2004 and 2005 is good.Trance music started to went down in 2006.Theres still good trance music today.But not as much as before.

Good trance music from today Andy Blueman,Leon Bolier,ect...

House music from today is horrible.You dont hear the funky house sound of the late 90s anymore.You hear the fart bee buzzing electro sound instead.

House music from today will never surpass house music from the 90s.No way.The 90s had David Morales,Danny Tennaglia,Peter Rauhofer,Junior Vasquez and by the way they are all gay.

Trance producers who made trance music in the 90s and early 2000s who still makes electro trance music today,mostly knows that their older songs and remixes are better.Even if they pretend that their new music is the best.Armin Van Buuren anybody?

I love dance music from the 90s.House,trance and eurodance.I have a big collection of vinyls of dance music from the 90s.The best dance music came out in the 90s.All those who were at least teen or older in the 90s,they knows that i am right.

Lets face it.Dance music have peaked.



This is the real trance sound.(When trance was awesome and hypnotic)












When trance became commercial and vocal.








When trance was clubby and shitty.








Trance from today.














You see the evolution of trance.

[JP.]

I dont they they're exclusivelly trance. I agree..bad-taste ^

but I like few of them...David Guetta is a Dj I wish I can shot him dead. He just made 2 good songs (in my opinion) and the rest are inundating local radio station like pest!!)

LMFAO party rock anthem could kills me in milisecond.
But surprisingly, I like sexy and you know it

Hmm..it's like saying: I hate vanilla scent but I have it in my room right now?

[Musik2400]

I like the last 3 songs on the op's list. Sexy and I know it, and Party Rock Anthem are the only ones I like by LMFAO, and I like Where Them Girls At (especially Miss Minaj's verse. I lubs her lots)

I'm not sure I'd classify them as trance though... and of those three songs I definitely wouldn't say they have the same beat.

[fetaby]

This came across Pandora the other day...

how they play so nice music whens-----

worlds popcorn cuitures amazin innsa soup of great deep

so hope dudes shorts keep up

thankyou

[Kulindahr]

What I noticed was that a lot of the samples provided, such as the third one in Quasar's offering, are what I'd call hot tub music, suitable for turning off the mind and just drifting, no focus, no rational thought.



BTW, there were a few I could swing to no prob, and some others it would be fun to do a freeze-frame swing.

[SoloHero]

There are MANY other genres in electronica that are awesome in my opinion. I LOVE psytrance, happy hardcore, jumptyle, hardstyle, gabber, dnb, dubstep and many others.

I just recently got into dubstep, and I fucking love it. Dubstep is the future.

[JP.]

This is one of those occasions when I'm actually glad I don't belong to the younger generation anymore.
I consider myself so lucky that I was able to dance away my heydays during the fabulous 90's. And there were so many styles to choose from: house, euro/italo-dance/techno/trance/scouse - there was something for everyone.
Personally I didn't like the (happy) hardcore (too fast) and the US clubsound (soulless pots & pans music without melody).

But now it seems like all styles have blend into this boring "mosquito-house".
I don't mind different, but I hate boring.

This is how it used to be:

[Durango95]

I do agree this isn't very good workout music. I think most places, i.e. gyms, think this is more commercially appealing to its clients. My gym has a separate system in the weight room for the muscleheads and jocks.

That being said, I love Armin Van Buuren. I listen to A State of Trance every week.

[ElmosToe]

I love Armin Van Buuren. I listen to A State of Trance every week.

That dude is awesome
Avicii is right up there as well.

[EuroSoccer]

Tiësto is the shit

[Audio Tech]

I actually like some good trance. Especially if it has a good beat to it that you can just dance like crazy to.

And I'm not even young!

But yeah, just like ANY music genres..... some sucks. Some is great!

[Durango95]

That dude is awesome
Avicii is right up there as well.

Yea he is a good one too. Dash Berlin and David Guetta are some of my other favorites.

[ElmosToe]

Tiësto is the shit

I concur.

[EuroSoccer]

I concur.

Trance is definetely the best music for clubbing and Tiësto is my favorite DJ at the moment.
Here is another of my favorite ATB

[Audio Tech]

^^^ Nice!^^^

[Beachguyj]

It's horrible, I heard a few seconds of the OPs first video and as bad as it is it's better than the shit I hear in the background music of a club I go to sometimes. One song is this woman who speaks instead of sings in a Arab/German accent She says stupid shit like "I want to lick and suck it, umm delicious". Makes Brittney Spears sound like the Beatles.

[ElmosToe]

that IS nice

I miss going to raves, dealing with real-world crap sucks ass sometimes.

[salemish]

Well, for one LMFAO is NOT trance, or even true dance. They're dance/pop. It seems some people have already mentioned ATB, but I'll mention him again: he is great, listen to his stuff (the vocal version of Twisted Love is AMAZING, if you want a recent one). The stuff that's on the radio is usually crap. Almost all of it is literally made to make money.

[-Callum-]

Trance is fantastic music for cardio. Make each step while running a beat. AVB is fantastic for it. The only time I listen to it.

Yes generally DJs make a commercial version of their track, which I usually hate.
The real music is the one you hear in clubs and raves.
Just check the commercial version of Extasy on Youtube, it doesn't sound anywhere as good as the version I posted above.

[JohnJay201212]

I like alot of the new trance music. Its really good.
