Orjan Nilsen - The Drop EP [In My Opinion]

Reasonable argument from producer point of view. But still, this EP sucks hardly, maybe "Carioca" is a bit enjoyable, good to play on beginning of a set, but rest of it... tragic.

i listened very carefully with all tracks, it's still all garbage! and this guy said himself that he loves these kind of sounds, i really don't understand

The Late Anthem, Fair Game.. Ring any bells...? I released them both earlier this year. So when you ask me "Where is the trance??" or "Where's the old Orjan??" Go a couple of months back, then you go a couple more, and already, you have two of the "old Orjan" as you put it. And what did you expect this release to be?? It's called " The DROP E.P."!! I love that style too! A lot actually! The first drop track I made was called "Black Mamba" then I made "Down & Dirty". Guess what year that was? 2007! Don't be fooled by the BPM in those tracks, the recipy, or formula if you want, is EXACTLY the same as in these tracks, just a different sound from a different time! I should know, I made them. And I'll end this.. lets call it a discussion, just for the hell of it, by saying this:

I'm dedicating my life to make music(Keyword here is music, no genre specified). I make music however I see fit, which is my prerogative as a producer, which sad to say, not many are anymore.
Of course not all of it will be to everyone's liking, but I like it, and I enjoyed making it! I honestly can't believe you guys are listing a ton of my music, many of which has been released within the past year, asking "Where's Orjan?"! Well I'll tell you where Ørjan is.. He's in the studio making whatever he damn well pleases As it should be!

Don't worry, I'm never abandoning trance, not ever! Which I have proven to you, year, after year, after year.. So don't worry trance fans, I'm never leaving, I'm not looking for pastures new, but I am exploring and travelling through music like any producer should! I would not be able to make tracks like "Violetta", "Mafioso", "Between The Rays" if that was the only thing I was making. I would simply not be inspired enough to make something new.. Like "The Late Anthem" which so many of you liked.


I'll end it there, hope everyone's having a good morning/afternoon/evening/night!

Same with Armin. He made Hystereo and Ping Pong, two AWFUL tracks in my opinion. Granted, he hasn't been the same for a while.

Aly & Fila's Quiet Storm was too soft and a big letdown imo. The Other Shore looks to be a banger of a record and great.

This clearly has to be a joke. Does he really think that his tracks are trancy, just because armin van god plays them on a state of trance?

lol Orjan is such a hypocrite.Fair Game and Late Anthem are not even close to being trance! When he starts producing tracks similar to La Guitarra,Vivida,Red Woods,Shades Of Grade,Pale Memories,Soulflayer etc then we'll start talking.As far as Im concerned,Orjan left trance ages ago.

Even more funny is that the tracks in this topic (the drop EP) have been labelled as trance on Beatport... which is absolutely ridiculous.

"Good" thing is that this EP has been totally unsuccessful support / sales wise (considering Beatport notations and 1001tracklists that is).

They've changed it now

What money and fame does... this Orjan is nuts

The guy used to make amazing tunes in the past and ok maybe Fair Game and The Late Anthem are not the typical cookie cutter bigroom/electro stuff everyone else and their mothers are doing at the moment but they are not even comparable to the quality of his old tunes... now those were proper quality trance music.

After his pretty good album In My Opinion he went straight downhill
