Is Trance becoming a dirty word?

it became a dirty word around 1999. people started sporting "trance sucks" t-shirts and the big names (oakenfold, sasha at al) started moving away from it.
it seemed to survive all that and the..."WORLD'S BEST DJ'S"....seem to spin trance. i suppose, because it can be the most accessible genre of dance music.
has it come full circle?

anyone who wore those t-****s usually liked underground slammin' techno dj's like Adam Bayer ,Speedy J ,CJ bolland and all that madness released on SHEEP records --Me included.I always hated oakenfold and in 2002 when tiesto became the no 1 DJ in the world I was livid I was like "how the fook can that nob jockey be the best DJ in the world his music is sh1te" Then this year I went to see the said nob jockey live and understood what it was about.It's all about the show for the crowd not how good your music is.Has it come full circle? dunno

what a label eh? I remember you said that to me before alright I must get it from you.

Sounds a top job on the attic front, my only concern though is neighbours thankfully so the door bit wouldn't be a prob, although surely you can sort that out IF you put time into it.

I do get rushes too like. I have been buying a lot of CDs too. Timo Maas Loud was my latest one and it's unmixed. I want to get Sven Vath, Sound of the 8th season too, because the gig he done in the Tripod as part of that tour was absolutely banging, you should have been there.
The thing is though that it's one thing listening without guiding the set although completely another when you are mixing away and a savage break comes out of nowhere etc :cool:

Yeah sure hook up soon and drop the record over, was a good label alright, along with Bellboy.

I mainly buy unmixed CD's, varying though from ambient to techno with lots in between... even picked up actually Sven Vath's first two albums only last week. Agree alright about just listening, often now while listening I'd be thinking how much I'd love to mix a tune in.
