    I do, especially when they're divisible by both 7 and 47

    I've seen the error of my ways, it was foolish of me to think 317 should be a cold hard limit. That's because the limit is 327, it's a much more beautiful number anyway 😁

    No it's not, the magic number 317 has been passed, we need to reinstate it asap

    The Best of 2024 - VOTING OPEN - What are your thoughts on this year?

    The form itself seemingly doesn't reflect this, it says 5 points for track 1, 3 points for tracks 2/3, 2 points for tracks 4/5 and 1 point for tracks 5-10. Which one of these scales is used?

    This thread is still a thing? Mods, please lock it, I personally think 317 posts is an absolute limit that should not be broken.

    I've spent a few months of 2020 playing Mario Kart 7's time trials mode, sometimes taking pictures of my records to share with the MK7 community on Discord. Below is my first 1:54 on Airship Fortress, which I set on June 23rd, 2020: I quit the game that same year and this still is my best...

    Ben Hemsley feat. Rose Gray - Tidal (Ferry Corsten Remix) [Armada Music]

    This sounds really good! I thought the original was pretty cool already, the Gouryella-ey touch in this remix improves that original even further. Nice one from Ferry!

    Tracks in the style of Sasha - Xpander

    This one I'd say has a similar vibe (even though it's somewhat faster).

    Gary Maguire - Passing By [Pure Trance NEON]

    It seems that Solarstone has cut the track from the broadcast, the preview from Junodownload is correct though.

    Adagio for Strings - Tiësto or Ferry Corsten ?

    Well, uh... another version by Ferry did get labeled as such, so... As for the discussion itself: I personally don't really care about either remake, but that's mostly because I think the original piece is nothing more than "just okay".

    AI, procedural generation and other new music technologies - What does the future of music hold?

    While I do acknowledge that AI will be a spectacular piece of technology once it has reached that point, the absolute last thing I want is for already released music to completely lose its meaning because people can just generate similar sounding music without putting in the effort the original...

    Probably, remember that the population isn't evenly spread across the country. The largest cities in the US (such as LA, NYC and Vegas) can be found within the blue districts, meaning that maps like these can give a wrong impression when it comes to election results.

    Which Country spawned the best Trance Producers?

    Nobody ever shuts up about Armin, Ferry and Tiësto. And rightfully so, given they're some of the biggest, if not the biggest names in trance history. Aside from them, we still have Rank 1, Vincent de Moor, Three Drives, Ralphie B and the list goes on. Belgium, Germany and the UK have obviously...

    AI, procedural generation and other new music technologies - What does the future of music hold?

    My opinion on AI EDM is very simple and very negative: AI is going to be the death of music. I draw the line at stem separation and maybe the "this is the part of your track you need to improve" thing Enigma State mentioned in this thread. Anything else - and especially fully AI generated tracks...

    At the same time, the mere existence of Taylor Swift scared (most of) the Republicans so much that even Trump felt the need to post this on his platform: The entire thing becomes a lot more reasonable when you consider the fact that Taylor has a surprisingly big impact on the US economy, but...

    Waking up, I found it rather interesting to find out Trump's almost won already, as opposed to it taking a long time like 4 years ago. I expected the race to be closer than this as well. But in all honesty, if I had been an American the elections wouldn't have mattered to me anyway. I've never...

    I can additionally see Putin backing Kamala in an attempt to both set the - what I'd say is mostly anti-Russian - American population up against her and to make his alleged connections with Trump less obvious (though that argument is definitely not as strong as Mearschiemer's).

    I think that, given the relatively high poverty rate in the US compared to EU states, forcing citizens to show their ID at voting booths is going to prevent a lot of people from being able to cast their vote. The president would then be decided by the more wealthy people, who I think should not...

    Ferry Corsten & SUPERSTRINGS - Remember [Flashover]

    It's not pleasant but it is funny whenever they tag someone in their posts who doesn't use full caps in their name: Imagine someone screaming at the top of their lungs and then say someone's name in a normal voice, only to go back to screaming directly after :LOL:

    Ferry Corsten & SUPERSTRINGS - Remember [Flashover]

    What I meant is that contractual obligations are a thing in the music industry and you as an artist don't always have to agree with everything that happens, even if it's on your own label. That's just how things are sometimes. I'm rationalising here, not sympathising, not defending, and I...
