techno/trance

house eh, 





the vids are like WTF, i know.


i like house because you can dance to it with a partner.  throw in some latin moves; some salsa, a bit of bachata and you fit right in. 

not much of a fan of techno or trance anymore, but they had their moments in the late 90s

not much into the EDM scene anymore either but there are still some sick tunes being made.

my top fav edm song

is

orbital - halcyon and on and on

very beautiful and serene.  it's what i consider a masterpiece.  but i don't know if that is the type of song you want in the background when you are sniping the opposing team, or maybe it is...

Originally posted by J_Rivers Yo Necro (including the slight biased of those outstanding games tonight & then some) what do you think about Rank 1? In your expertise opinion, what category do they fall under?

10-4 on that good buddy. That is some mega trance right there. Pretty epic. If you like that and you have itunes, you can click on the electronic section of itunes radio and find lots of streaming trance stations. It is different than house in a few ways:

-Higher Beats Per Minute (much faster)

-Even more emphasis on build ups and break downs than house (drum rolls and building snares)

-Very synthy electronicy feel (you see this in house too but trance is that way almost exclusively)

That is my humble opinion. Living in Miami....you have access to that stuff live all the time. Space has the worlds biggest trance djs on a regular basis. The top 3 Trance DJ's (and probably producers?) right now are

-Armin Van Buuren

-Tiesto

-Paul Van Dyk

Check out those guys if you like Trance you can't lose with them.

Originally posted by _EnVy_ also i would recommend trying out break beats like the album Perfecto breaks (one of my fav albums, released in 2002) from Paul Oakenfold's own label.

If you have never heard breakbeats, or if you have heard breakbeats but never heard this compilation, it is probably the hottest grouping of breaks tracks I have ever heard. This CD is so nasty, it has been giving me the chills for 6 years and I don't even especially like breaks. But this cd is absolutely FIRE. Good call Envy.

What I like, deep house, has almost nothing in common with breaks or trance but I can find a slice of every genre that I like. Oakenfold was the trance king in the late 90s early 00s. And he put out that sweet Perfecto Breaks cd too.

DJ Micro and Lisa Lashes are my all time fav DJs so i recommend both of them. any of the old school DJ's from the Moonshine Records label are great as well. also i would recommend trying out break beats like the album Perfecto breaks (one of my fav albums, released in 2002) from Paul Oakenfold's own label. or the Y2K/Y3K, those are sick too. might want to also look into DJ infinity, Sasha, Timo Maas, Josh Wink, Karl Cox, DJ Baby Anne, Plump DJ or DJ ICEY. those are some groovy artist as well. depends on what style of trance or house you like. i know your from cali so you might like DJ's like Mars & Mystre...

Below is the 17th torrent of "top 100" techno.  Since the music within the torrent is hit or miss, I usually delete ~1/3 of the music...  There's some great stuff in there though.  Enjoy

to bad I didn't get to see this post two years ago

I tried posting that SAME VIDEO. I couldn't get it to work though. 

Originally posted by The_Victim420 you guys are weird, i dont like trance music and it used to scare the sh*t out of me when i was a little kid haha but being scared of trance music just might be a sure sign that your a puss tho idk you all might like some of the music ive been listening to lately like Dj Cam - Underground Vibes  or  Romatic Love Boards Of Canada - '84 Pontiac Dream FLYamSAM - The Offbeat DJ Shadow - Dark days Jel - Dynamic Button give one or 2 of those a try and let me know what you think youll probably like  a bunch, kinda trancy to me but not in the same way as some of those other suggestions

Cam is the sh*t. Mad Blunted Jazz is his best cd IMO. Liquid Hip Hop is good too. If you like Shadow, check ZTrip. Boards of Canada are cool, too. They guy that is credit with starting this genre of downtempo (correctly or incorrectly, doesn't matter) is named Mark Farina. Check out his Mushroom Jazz series. He is also on the top 5 deep house djs I feel. Also, Jazzy Jeff goes back and fourth between deep house and downtempo/hiphop/turntablism. So does DJ Spinna. Lots of hip hop heads get into deep house because of the similarites. Sure the beat is a little faster in house and it is not "broken" like in the music u listed above but it has the same feel. Soulful and groovy.

And for the record, Trance always scared the piss out of me. Still does. Deep house and hip hop are practically brothers while Trance is like a 2nd cousin. Nothing against it but I can't get down with super epic build ups and break downs, sirens and crashes lol. Deep house has none of that btw.

You mind sending me a list of songs that you like? I love to embrace different types of music!
