    2025 has been the best year for Trance since 2010

    That’s very kind of you to say mate, appreciate it. I’ll be honest with you, I haven’t been keeping up having just had a second child. My house is frankly, fucking mental right now. the track that stood out to me in that solarstone set was Bjerkestrand - Skyfritt. Brilliant stuff. Another...

    2025 has been the best year for Trance since 2010

    Wholeheartedly agree. I left a comment on SolarStone’s soundcloud (pure trance radio 459) as I was just blown away by the sheer quality of every track on it. Felt the same about lots of other sets recently too.

    Tiësto - Bring Me To Life [Musical Freedom]

    This isn't trance. It is EDM pretending to be trance.

    Conservative or liberal (politics)

    It's surprisingly easy when people can talk about it rationally - and disagree with one another, without getting personal. I have a "friend" (much emphasis on those quotation marks!) who I just can't get into any political discussions with (and neither can any of my other friends) because he...

    Conservative or liberal (politics)

    I'd call myself anti-conservative. [edit] That's anti conservative policies/ideology in general, not people.

    Unpopular trance/electronic music opinions

    Yeah I'd largely agree. Burned With Desire was pretty good, and his remixes of iio - Rapture and Moogwai - Viola are absbolutely amazing but sadly the production on them hasn't stood the test of time.

    Your favorite album/release artwork? (any genre)

    There are a couple of vinyls I have that I’ve always loved the artwork from… Sasha & Emerson -Scorchio Sasha - Xpander EP conversely I’ve got a vinyl of Armand Van Helden’s funk phenomenon (great tune) which is a full vinyl sleeve of a baby crying, and it’s just awful to look at.

    Shocking stuff that destroys what was once our trance scene

    Reading through this thread has been fun. I think most of us simply miss "the glory days". I could turn on the radio and hear trance. I could go to a record store and buy trance. The community due to the likes of trance.nu, tranceaddict and the fact that it was in vogue was massive. But the...

    Tiësto - Adagio For Strings (Incl. Remixes) [2005]

    Gonna weigh in here with what might be, but shouldn't be an unpopular opinion. For all the incredible music he produced; Tiesto's version of adagio for strings is trash. Ferry Corsten's remix is the one. There is no other.

    Halon's: 'What is the last thing you ate/drank?' 2.0

    Kicked the evening off with a corona beer, then a bottle of Bread & Butter chardonnay, followed up with a Carnivor Cabernet Sauvignon (both shared with my wife) and now on a Porthleven Pale Ale,

    The 'Currently Listening' Thread

    Been one of those days where I'm kind of drifting around the house doing various bits/nothing at all and have had this on as it popped up on my soundcloud... Have to say, it's pretty bloody fantastic exhibition of the deeper side of prog trance.

    Alt Tech

    This is my thought exactly. I think it goes without saying that the overwhelming majority of people are pro free speech, however with that comes the fact that you have to deal with extremists. I can't imagine any normal person saying that the likes of hate preachers such as Anjem Choudary...

    Hello all

    I dunno about soon; but I've got a fair few tracks in the pipeline that just require me getting of my ass and finishing! I am a serial procrastinator (also work full time so there's that too!)
