    Are Cheap AI Tracks Killing Our Scene?

    Since I’m not a native English speaker, my grasp of some word meanings isn’t perfect, so I apologize in advance. I don’t think AI at its current level can get signed to any major global label, especially the long-established Armind, even though it has been on a decline for many years. That’s...

    Are Cheap AI Tracks Killing Our Scene?

    I don’t want to start this thread in the “Upcoming Trance & Prog Release” section. It would be a desecration of everything else posted there. Twenty years ago, Armind released Arksun’s “Arisen”. There’s a widely repeated story (though I’ve never found the original source) that Armin van Buuren...

    Vincent De Moor ‎- Promo Album (Unreleased)

    I don’t understand how someone can be so presumptuous and self-conceited. The only way I can make sense of this is if his original intention was to provoke Vincent into speaking up again.

    Vincent De Moor ‎- Promo Album (Unreleased)

    PLEASE DO NOT name these tracks without authorization on Discogs. This will not only mislead Trance listeners and diggers who come for the original artists, but also go against Vincent’s wishes. To put it more seriously, this is a disrespect to him since no one can truly know what Vincent intended.

    TranceFix Best of 2025 - RESULTS

    It's a delight to see so many Trance enthusiasts continue to pour into this community. In China, it really might all be credited to that legendary night when @NameLessYet discovered here. 2025 has truly been a great year. As a matter of fact, I always thought @EnigmaState would take home the...

    TF Best of 2025 - VOTE OPEN + Your thoughts on the year?

    In fact, there have been many interesting releases this year, but relatively speaking, there have also been more boring ones. Well, who knows? Perhaps this is the price of TikTok Y2K. I really haven’t listened to many tracks this year and I always feel that this year has passed by far too...

    Master Beat Projekt & Skyraid UK & RollerBabe - Thoughts [Avena Records]

    Now you're trying to pass yourself off as a savior of Trance and a rational discussant. But initially, whenever someone said they didn’t like such tracks (just like they did with Armin van Buuren), you would fly into a rage, go on a long rant, and ask them why they hadn’t been signed by Vandit...

    Enigma State - Of The Essence (Artist Album) [Transtate Records]

    Just got the "Of the Essence" CD from @Lawn Jarre , And it came way faster than I expected—even quicker than @NameLessYet in Denmark got his, which is wild. Maybe Lawn's bought so many CDs and vinyls too often that customs just sees his name and goes, "Oh, it's that CD kid—let it through!" jk...

    What's on your mind today?

    Yep Murakami is a name that literature students just can't get around, and that's one of the reasons why I'm curious about the origin of this name.☺️

    Thanks for the reminder. I didn't notice this before.

    What's on your mind today?

    I'm wondering whether the name @Super-Frog Saves Tokyo is derived from the short story of the same name by Haruki Murakami.

    Enigma State - Of The Essence (Artist Album) [Transtate Records]

    Just like NamelessYet, I'm also a young Chinese Trance enthusiast. I absolutely adore almost every track on this album, which is why—despite having known about this forum for a long time—I finally registered an account to share my thoughts. *Purchased a CD to show my support! Heartfelt...
