General Rules
1. Trance, Progressive or Cross-over genres only
This section is primarily for posting Trance releases, but if the release is leaning a little more towards the progressive, techno, house or psychedelic side then we are happy to see it here too. Big thanks to all the high-active members in this section who post regular scene releases here, your work is appreciated.
2. Max 3 posts per day
We encourage thread posting in this section to be more focused on quality, rather than excessive quantity. We are therefore setting a limit on how many posts per day you can make in this section to 3. We will delete any excess threads. We ask members to look to sharing releases that are enjoyable and meaningful to you, or that you think others may enjoy. We are hoping this will lead to a more quality and easier to manage section, with less thread dumping/0 reply threads overall.
3. Reduce Low Activity Threads
Users must aim to post high quality and engaging releases in this section and reduce low activity threads. Before posting, consider forum members, artist and label and what will likely resonate. User who regularly post low activity based threads will be sent a friendly reminder. Consistently posting and we’ll give more enforced instructions and probably delete those low engaged ones. Low activity thread is defined as less than 2 likes/replies on a thread (not including messages from OPs).
4. Format thread titles correctly
All threads must contain the at minimum the artists name and sample of the track(s). Albums or compilation threads can be created without adding any samples. If you don't know the release title just use 'ID'. On the new platform you can embedd youtube and soundcloud links just by pasting them directly into the chat box.
Thread creation naming format is as follows;
Artist - Release Title [Label] - For Singles & EPS
Artist - Release Title (Inc. Remixes) [Label] - For Single & EPS with Remixes
Artist - Album Title (Artist Album) [Label] - For Albums
Example: Endre - Kallocain EP (Inc. Robert Nickson Remix) [Anjunabeats] - or - Orkidea - ID (Artist Album) [TBC]
We also encourage you to fill out the additional (optional) track information fields for each thread, eg.Titles, label name, release year, shop links and any appropriate tags (i.e genre, year, artist). This will help out users search our threads a lot easier, for example by year or by artist name.
5. Always share a sample in the thread (Albums are the exception)
Please provide an audio (embed!) sample of the track you are sharing. Album threads can be started without samples. Beatport samples are the LEAST favorable. Bandcamp, Youtube and Soundcloud are the preffered samples. Simply copy the URL that contains the sample into the thread and when you post it it will embedd the player.

Thats it. Happy posting!
