Did trance ever have any "scandals?"

[Arnoud]

she is free to be a left leaning activist if she so desires/believes. I have no problem with that.

If, however, she starts throwing F-bombs and bullshit-arguments around, She is going to be called out on that.

Sure, people can decide for themselves what they believe/desire.

Sasha appears to hold a negative opinion of Ferry Corsten, having called Corsten's mixes "frothy and shallow" and "the electronic equivalent of Britney Spears," and discouraging people from buying them in a 2005 review for PopMatters. Sasha contrasts Corsten's work with other artists he finds more interesting and sublime, such as Can, My Bloody Valentine, Plastikman, and Underworld.

Sasha's Criticism of Ferry Corsten

• "Frothy and shallow":
  Sasha describes Corsten's music as lacking depth.
• "Electronic equivalent of Britney Spears":
  He implies that the music is simplistic and lacks substance, similar to pop music.
• Discouraging purchase:
  Sasha advises readers against buying Corsten's mixes, suggesting it would only encourage him.
• Preference for other artists:
  He recommends other artists like Can, My Bloody Valentine, and Underworld for a more profound and mind-expanding listening experience.

There's no mention about Sasha criticizing Ferry Corsten in the article. Are those from SlopGPT?

No not from chatgpt it's in this article from 2005 which I did reference and he was referencing the 2005 mix compilation from Ferry Corsten Passport.

At the risk of sounding like a grumpy old man, I really think that the kids plunking down their hard-earned money for CDs like this would be better served by exploring something with a bit more heft to it. This is frothy and shallow, the electronic equivalent of Britney Spears, without even the dubious charm imparted by some of Ms. Spears’ more adventurous producers. If you really want to hear something that induces altered states of consciousness through trance-like repetition and waves of otherworldly noise, but which doesn’t make you feel stupider with every passing second, check out Can’s Tago Mago or My Bloody Valentine’s Loveless — two rock records that would certainly get the thumbs-up from any chemically-enhanced raver in the land. Try some Plastikman — Consumed is especially mind-expanding.

When I first heard trance I quite liked it. Then, about five minutes later, the charm wore off when the next song kicked in and I realized “hey, this one sounds just like the last one…” To say that trance is formulaic would be an insult to music which is legitimately formulaic. The Ramones followed a rigid formula, after all, but it wasn’t one that ever got particularly boring. Some of the best pop artists across the whole range of genres create music that could be conceivably referred to as formulaic without any real pejorative connotations. No, the problem with trance is that in addition to being formulaic and repetitive, it is also just damned boring.

I don't see a need to remind everyone of a tragedy, especially as it's hard enough for the friends and family. It's public - so what? No need to be distasteful. No need to trade in speculation or misinterpretation. No need to bring it up, even. Trance producers are people as well, and they also visit this place. Try to put yourselves in their shoes.

I'll be redacting your posts.

In a joint statement from June 2019, it was announced that Molijn and Kalberg together with Vanderkleij Agency decided to end their part in the Dash Berlin project to focus on new musical projects, with Sutorius becoming the solo artist behind Dash Berlin.
