He's going to use the edm jerk circle buddies for big room big anthem like sounds remixes, collab but I really hope for Dennis involvement instead.

Its already started, doubt he'd support local trance talent as he's too main stream but if hes back back we can maybe expect him to do a guest show at Asot studios.

He can call it what he wants, it's still trance.

This is what makes me cringe about Pvd he refuses to let go of trance yet afraid to call it trance and complainting about quality issues cos of too many releases. Well now he's kinda ditched it and went with melodic techno maybe that was the intention to ditch trance from the beginning.

Let's face it man most almost everyone out there is just trying to make a name or make a living off it or money off what they do on a daily basis. His intention was to entertain himself because he had nothing else better to do during that time. He was cut off from the world and the rest of Germany during that time back in the 80s and 90's.

Yes & no, he is gatekeeping the trance genre behind generic edm term.

For such a huge figure in trance, he is 'religiously' misleading potential fans from discovering real trance music as a genre in all his interviews.

The last interview I saw from this year, that chick was totally annoyed and tried many ways to trick him into admitting he is nothing but trance.

what's the size of the gate he keeps? I mean it's 2025, for the new audience discovering electronic music these days he's one of many old farts whom they watch for probably 5 seconds max and swipe for some dyed hair chick doing tiktoks

Armin is the gatekeeper for Trance name and not Paul. To be harsh against Paul , if things weren't labelled with genres, bpms and etc then it would be meaningless fluff. I may as well get rid of the bpm label and the name too just stick to No Name label or ID - ID in all of them like they did with promo copies.

All his best music was made by someone else and he left to play shitty big room EDM to trust fund kids in Vegas decades ago.

People like Steve Helstrip, Ferry, Solarstone, PvD & Lange all stuck around when arguably many of those could have followed a similar route even through the real dark times of the genre. And what? We're all supposed to be hyped for his 'return'?

Honestly screw him.
Him & Waakop made some fantastic music back in the day, but that was 20 years ago. Time we all moved on.

Having said all that though,on his role as a Trance DJ back in the day,hes still my favourite ever. His essential mix,magik and ISOS cds etc were a cut above anyone else for me.

On this 'comeback' debate,i cant imagine him leaving the whole EDM scene,where hes having commercial hits and as someone mentioned,a totally new fanbase....back to the Trance scene,which is very underground and small in comparison. Unless hes totally fallen in love with Trance again haha....
