How to keep up?

[RRR]

Hello!

I haven't much time anymore to search the web for new good trance tunes. So I want suggestions about how I can listen to (new) tunes in a fast way, and keep it on my hard disk. For example:
- only listen to live sets/radio shows
- buy compilation albums (which?)

Many thanx in advance!

I don't think there's a faster way than subscribing to your favourite podcasts and loading them to the pod - it demands almost no work. And of course there are compilations which a released a few times a year from labels such as Armada (Trance World, ASOT), Black Hole (ISOS, ITWT) Anjunabeats (Worldwide, Anjunabeats, Anjunadeep) and Enhanced (Digital Society, Enhanced Sessions, Digitally Enhanced).

& here I was thinking we have another advertisement bot advertising 'those' pills

As for advice, just subscribe to some radioshows and see what you like from what you hear. There is no easy way to listen to more in less time.

try listen sensation megamixes or at list asots.

Do you use bittorrent? If yes, try getting into TranceTraffic or/and TranceRoute and set up RSS or IRC downloader for auto downloading new 2010 relaeases. Of course there will be huge amount of new tracks everyday and I doubt you wil be able to listen to ALL of them, but it's worth a shot.

I've faced the same problem but with so much tracks being released everyday I found myself to be unable to keep up with every tune. On the other hand, only a very few of those releases are good ones (Trance is becoming very, very, very POPular), so I'm not losing that much

As said krisA if you have no time, subscribe to different podcast in itunes. If you want popular trance subscribe to ASOT, if you want quality trance subscribe to TATW lol

If you come across artists with a style you like, check out if they are of such quality a lot on beatport, then add them to your "my beatport" thingy. Same for labels. It helps me very much to find great music. And next to that the occasional radioshow, compilation and live-set, yeah. I download a lot of scene releases too, helps me a lot to find out about new and upcoming artists. And yes, I usually do buy their stuff if I like it

[Audio Burglar]

following labels is good way to get good tunes

[Euforix]

Compilations = good way to get know new music.

Or not... Both radioshows play great tracks, and bad tracks.

a good way to follow also is visiting the websites of the labels, and myspace of the artists

For me one of the best ways and the one I've used during my first 2 to 3 years into trance was almost solely by listening to live sets.

Supposedly it's in the live sets, not in the radio shows, that DJs play want they or the public are really liking at the time. It's a layer above the one of the radio shows, where you still end up discarding most of the tunes on it.

I did this back then so often to the point of never really caring about what was that great track passing at that moment (I wouldn't know that that Pascal Feliz - Platinum track had that name, it was just that great track in the middle of the set of Marcel Woods live at ASOT 300 part2 ). I would just put the set on my mp3 player and most of the times I wanted to listen to it, I'd listen to the whole set. Sets are supposed to be better than the sum of its parts, so the experience was more enjoyable, less boring (avoiding those minutes of intro of the tracks), and much more diverse. The problem was in the number os tracks I missed, fortunately I still have most of the sets. And it's much more easy for me to pick up an old set to listen than and old track. So sometimes I end up rediscovering the gems.

But right now I do the same as everyone else, I'm a layer below, listening to radio shows and taking notes on the tracks I like. I am not able to catch live set recordings that often and also some artists get extremely similar in all their live sets. So my ipod now shuffles between these 8 minute tracks, which is not as great as listening to a good live set but meh, I want to have the tracks now.
