Tell me about your favorite techno/trance music

**Maria92** · 10-27-2009 04:35 AM

The title speaks for itself. I'm looking for decent techno and trance music, but I seem to have hit a bit of a dead end. So, post whatever kind of trance or techno music you enjoy, if any. If you don't like these kinds of music, just post what you prefer. I can rip movies from virtually any source, so post away, good people!

Thank you

Also Entertainment~

Do you mean general electronic music, or actual trance?
Also please don't say 'techno' :[
Super generalization. Call it electronic, or an actual genre.

**Maria92** · 10-27-2009 05:17 AM

Sorry, my bad. Just got hooked on the stuff last night. Still learning terminology.

Well, again, are you looking for actual trance or just electronic stuff? What have you been listening to so far?

**Maria92** · 10-27-2009 05:28 AM

So far, it's mostly been trance music (which I'm getting pretty fond of, too), mostly without lyrics. Here, I'll post an example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouBJTv_OqJA

This stuff is good, but I'm also looking to expand my interests. I've listened to a small amount of the T-word that is to never be mentioned, and it's been enjoyable, but nothing that really stands out. So, yeah, anything faintly resembling these are a-okay. Or, if you have something you think I'll like or should try, go ahead and post it, too. Yeah...IDK...I'm flexible.

Thank you!

**cygnus** · 10-27-2009 05:29 AM

yeah there are a lot of genres/sub-genres...i'm really picky. there's a lot out there that's pretty mindless and then there's some that's super awesome.

this would be my quick walk through:

dubstep: glyphic by boxcutter
techhouse (ambient): centigrade - evan marc
psybient/psydm: prophetic sines - bluetech
idm: W.I.K. - bola
electronica/minimal techno - tulenkantaja - uusitalo

see what you think!

**Maria92** · 10-27-2009 05:41 AM

Wow, you guys are zippy!

Kinda diggin' the bluetech one. Couldn't find a youtube video for evan marc, though.

Ah, the Bola is nice.

Uusitalo is also nice. Thank you.

That is not trance. That is dance music.
Terrible dance music, at that.

Trance is in itself a sub-genre. But I've heard most of those, and they're pretty decent, but they certainly aren't trance.

**O'nus** · 10-27-2009 05:49 AM

I am basing these replies on the song you posted

A personal favourite:

If any of these tickle your fancy, let me know.

**cygnus** · 10-27-2009 05:52 AM

youtube often has crappy sound quality... if you buy good stuff and play it through good speakers (or better yet, see it live) it's totally different. i love a lot of the cool vibrations you feel from loud electronic music...

glyphic is probably one of the best dubstep tracks ever.. oh man i love my subwoofer

http://www.last.fm/music/Evan%2520Marc?ac=evan%20marc

the first few tracks are from the album 'emotional ecology' which is excellent.

http://www.last.fm/music/Bluetech?ac=bluetech

there's bluetech. probability tree is one of my favorites from him as well.

wow lots of posting going on. yeah man, i know - i don't really like trance. haha i figured you'd find this thread

have you ever heard of daedelus? i saw him at this club, had never heard him before... he plays this crazy light-up controller with his hands.. hard to explain. maybe there's some video somewhere. just thought i'd share.

**Maria92** · 10-27-2009 06:00 AM

O'nus: definitely like the first and third ones, and the last one is beginning to grow on me.

Cygnus, thank you for the links! Gonna have to check them out, when I have less homework...

I'll try and finish it up here in about half an hour, if all goes well.

I have a Daedelus album, he's cool, but pretty off-beat. Some of his stuff is fantastic.
I've never seen him play live though, I'll check it out...
EDIT: just saw this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjZwlCbUU8M , absolutely insane. Some great manual MIDI skills there.

**cygnus** · 10-27-2009 06:08 AM

whoa that's very different from the stuff i saw, no-name. he did some really bass-heavy, intense glitchy stuff, and had a different controller. at one point he brought out this device that altered the modulation of some sounds based on it's pitch and yaw. nuts. whenever he got a bit downtempo i was really into it

**Maria92** · 10-27-2009 06:32 AM

Hmm...thus far, I've got to say that, in general, I'm fond of the stuff with zippier tempos and a generally lighter feeling to them (bouncy, fun, etc.). HOWEVER, I also like the Evan Marc that was posted above. It is nicely simple, with a great beat. Still listening to the bluetech clip, which is fairly interesting, thus far.

EDIT: I like the Bluetech bit. Very nice, interesting, and strangely soothing.

EDIT: This is probably also considered dance music, right? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Md35E...eature=related

**Oneironaut Zero** · 10-27-2009 12:48 PM

*cracks his knuckles*

Ok. Breakbeats are my favorite sub-genre of electronica, so let's start with some of that:

Prophecy - Supersonic Psyche

DJ Mike B - Come and Feel My Energy

DJ 43 - Pepper Spray

AGH - Yummy (DJ Sandy Electro Dub)[/i]

Merlyn - Bring Your Love

Baby D - Let Me Be Your Fantasy

Dj Sharaz - Just Can't Wait

Kosheen - Hide You (DJ Sharaz Mix)

Freestylers - Don't Stop

DJ's Friction and Spice - Groove Me

Hybrid - Finished Symphony

Hybrid - If I Survive

Hybrid - Bodyrock (Feat Moby, Bodyshock Remix)

The Crystal Method - Trip Like I do

The Crystal Method - Busy Child

The Crystal Method - Born to Slow

The Crystal Method - Comin' Back

That's about all for now.
I'll be back with some more breaks, drum & bass, and progressive house.

I love the Dream Trance melodies, like the one I posted in the hug thread.

In case you didn't see it, here it is.

EDIT: Oops, Mario beat me to it. xD
