Largely reconstructed, but some of it sampled due to the vocal extractor I used at the time not being the best, so I decided to just roll with the punches. Idk, I started working on this back in late 2019, so my memory as to why might not be the best... EDIT: also lol at the complaint at a...

Gotta admit, the mixing isn't the greatest on this one, which is why I had this one shelved for so many years. Decided to act against my anxieties the other day, and just release it into the wild anyway

You didn't say anything against shameless plugs, so...

I'd agree with you, except for the fact that Samuel Barber was technically not a classical era composer. "Classical music" refers to a very specific time period in the canon of western European compositions, which occurred way before Barber was alive let alone active. Going by the Wikipedia page...

Personally, what I think what happened is that towards the end of the 00s, the people in the trance scene got more and more old-fashioned and just straight up old. The trance scene could during that time set themselves up as a gender-neutral if not downright feminine alternative to the masculine...

Tune of the Year

As someone actually autistic, I would kindly ask you to go fuck yourself. He didn't do that gesture because it was a tic (which is a symptom of Tourette's, btw), but because he's a South African billionaire whose family got their wealth from Apartheid-era emerald mining. And this is about as...

Worth noting that hardware was the norm in dance music production until around the late 00s, when Sylenth1 and Massive came about. And I'd argue, there's not really much reason to go back those days after the release of Serum (which by the way, just recently had an insanely earth-shattering...

Listened to the whole thing now, and I can pretty confidently say that this song didn't really justify its length. At over eleven minutes, I'd expect a whole lot more evolving soundscapes and distinct parts composition-wise, but sadly, there's only one four-bar melody, and it's saved for the...

Should be worth mentioning that trance is far from the only genre suffering from this Commercial-versus-Traditional split. It's arguably what killed mainstream rock in the US (alongside the Clinton administration deregulating radio, which led to a lot of rock stations being replaced with even...

Personally, I feel there's a lot of good music we're all missing out on, simply because so much effort that'd could've otherwise gone to making and/or promoting it, instead goes to making pissy complaints on the internet about how nobody makes good music any longer. This type of nonsense just...

Jam

Not really sure what counts as progressive house, given how differently seemingly everyone defines the genre, but this one is a jam:

I don't know if this counts as an obscure favourite, given it's the first song on the first Magik compilation, but nonetheless: I'm a big sucker for any song that takes their sweet-ass time to develop

I really hate when high-energy trance tracks are described as "injected with testosterone". Both Sean Tyas and Solarstone have been guilty of doing this, and I just roll my eyes at them whenever that happens. No, when that particular wall of sound blasts me at 140+ BPM? That to me is Hot Girl Shit.
