    Survey: Bandcamp vs Beatport

    I've had a number of music store accounts over the years. The ones that are still active to this day are for mainly physical releases: hhv, decks.de, and I guess you could include Discogs too. For the handful of digital purchases (and very occasional physical ones), I use Bandcamp. I closed my...

    C-Quence - Endorphine [2006]

    The first vid seems to have been switched to private, so here's another sample: Here's the Arizona Remix, also included with the other two mixes: Pretty difficult to choose a favorite between the original and Hydroid remixes, but I'm leaning more towards the original. Great ASOT release.

    Trancefix Best of 2024 - RESULTS!

    Congrats to @EnigmaState for the win once again. Let's see what the album sounds like. :D Big up to @Julian Del Agranda for the second spot as well - Time Warp sounds great. I guess congrats to that indie producer at number five, Ferry...something or other. Cheers @Hensmon for the shoutout...

    Remix culture and current obsession with recycling older songs

    In certain cases, the overall follower number of labels and artists alike has grown considerably, so you could argue that there's a lot more visibility compared to years ago. That aside, this thing you speak of was happening 10 years ago too, and before that. You don't even have to look far...

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

    To be fair, my intention wasn't for the recap to take up the equivalent of a small country's surface area. It just sort of...happened. I'll read this again in its entirety, then part of how it's phrased will annoy me, and I'll edit it again. Rather than the initial edits lasting well into 2026...

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

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

    @Hensmon ask and you shall receive...eventually in this case, lol. Juuust about submitted at the right time to still qualify as a post from calendar year 2024. There’s a lot to go through, so I’ll try to keep this intro bit short (emphasis on try). 2024 was primarily about making a dent in my...

    Activa - Velika (Lostly & Coredata Remixes) [VII]

    Here's a YT sample of the Lostly remix too: Big fan of the original, but was nevertheless curious about remixes. The Lostly one above is good, but just strays so far from the original it might as well be called something else. The Coredata remix is fantastic on its own (especially the...

    Depeche Mode - I Feel Loved (Framewerk Rewerk) As this is the usual limited release and the link above may expire, here's a YT embed too: Fantastic rewerk from them, as usual.

    Enigma State - S-Bahn [Borderline]

    That sound in the first two seconds of the (radio edit) preview confused the hell out of me. It sounds damn near identical to the one my front door makes when you unlock it. Needless to say, gave my brain a bit of a blue screen, as it's pretty early in the morning. As for the track itself, glad...

    Brother Brown Featuring Frank'ee – Under The Water (The Unreleased Mixes)

    Was listening to both of these and wondering why they sounded weird to me, especially the Breeder one, that I know I've listened to before. Turns out I had a senior moment and the mix I was thinking of was the Breeder Dub: Honestly, I prefer this more stripped-down version.

    Great remix of My Way Out. Reminded me of Shocks: =========================== As for me, decided to take this one for another spin: UP3 - Balrog (Spencer Hardwick's 'Techlifting' Remix) Released just shy of Discover Dark's massive 100th release (and coincidentally 10 year) anniversary...

    Ashley Wallbridge & C-Systems - Limitless [In Trance We Trust]

    Actually really like the melody. Very much reminded me of 2010/2011 Garuda. Not really seeing the collab though. If you would've told me this was just Ashley Wallbridge, I would've believed you.

    Tourman - Ayahuasca EP (w/ Aiden Francis Remix) [EP] [Neptune Discs]

    Original mix of Ayahuasca and Laser Ensemble are the personal highlights, on first listen through the EP. The others don't do anything for me.

    Madoka - Afterburner (Incl. Max Graham Remix) [2004]

    Max Graham remix is great. Original is nice too, but the remix is just better.

    Your Favorite Trance Tracks from 2024

    I've made a list of a few tracks/EPs that I found interesting for the first few months, but I'm always changing it up. The most recent is from the early June, so a bit incomplete - due to lack of time mostly -, but this is what I have so far. Some will make it to my EOY top 10 or 20, some will...

    Released: 15 February 2010 | BP link Label: Anjunabeats Cat#: ANJ155D Blurb: Samples: Original Mix (Preview) Original Mix Genix Remix Thought Caffeine deserved its own thread. Surprised it hadn't been posted already, or at least there's no thread that I could find. Wild that the...

    Anyone here also into Downtempo, Trip-Hop, Lo-Fi or Chill-Hop music?

    Very cool. Reminds me of Groove Armada in places. Those whispery vocals fit the vibe so well.
