LABEL POLL

my current fav is the Italian lable "Wicked" cause they are basically DAMN WELL HARD!







Very good stuff at the moment.

tough one - probably say dance pollution or wicked at the mo, just love the italian sound.

few of my faves at the moment are



Titanic

Stik (although they been a bit hit and miss lately)

Dance Pollution

Wicked

Pulsive

Uberdruck

Future Sound Corporation for me, ok so The Elite was a disapointment, but other than that these guys have been consistent all year

ye i forgot about them they are up there with my faves too

Just to get a jist of the labels and which ones are better than others..



Can we name our favourite Label, and give on reason why?...



1. Overdose (Constant good all round production excellent breakdown, a drivin force in hard trance for a a long time.....) Ave it!!!!!!!

Suntec (Always Bangin')

Wicked (Wicked)

BLQ

59

Red Alert (sometimes)

S.T.I.K. (puka)

yeah.. wicked are dam good.... Liquid fingers - modulation!!!...WOP WOP WOP.....!!!

To be honest i @#%$ love '5 seconds to terminate' - prefer it to the TG mix, although its definitely out of sync with the current italian sound. good to see the high fish boys doing the reputation of english hard trance a favour too

the Elite was pretty good

Yer i thought the last two releases where good!!

I now the sample on renegade master has worn thin a bit, but they did put it to good use

Seems my opinion is not the same as everyone elses...

I thought it was poor personally, too formulaic - I love TG but their mix of 5 seconds is exactly the same as their mix of Yoda - Definetly and Warmduscher - HWND. Seemed a bit lazy to me, as if they couldn't be bothered to come up with anything different, so did a mix by numbers. There's nothing worse than when a producer just makes identical tracks every time, so I hope Trance Generators are not going to go down this path

Are there two different labels from Italy called Wicked or are they both the same label? They're both amazing, but you have the one which makes the red sleeves with the hand with the @ sign in, and the one which has plain white sleeves with coloured disc labels. Can anyone shed some light?

I believe is the ones with a hand and a @ symbol at the centre.

I know what you mean m8, but I think you've misunderstood me slightly - as I said FSC are my favourite label, and for the most part they produce a very unique sound, but it's always been with a bit of variance in the past. Tracks ranging from Connected to Ultimo Respiro or Never in Danger have always been fresh and cutting edge, with some minor elements remaining to trademark their style, but otherwise very innovative.

The Elite however seems to be a carbon copy of their mix of Yoda - Definetly, any minor changes/additions are lifted from their other productions. There's nothing new there. Back Again for Bang is an example of TG at their finest, a nice new bassline and a breakdown that doesn't dare to be a little different .

I suppose i'd like The Elite if I hadn't caned Yoda when it came out, but to me it seems that I may as well stick with that, it has a better sample!

o.k so the formula for 5 seconds is'nt all that great, FSC have used there sound on quite a few tracks repetively, but they are always maintaining a good beat, with a range of messed up riffs. the track Back again, and 5 seconds sound very much nearly the same, but still in another way sound completly different. These two Trance generator mixes would blow the roof of a club...



"if aint broke dont fix it"



Anybody else think, that FSC, should keep to there own. Compared to most of the italiano stuff they, maintain there own unique sound, which is very different to alot of, hard/techno trance that is coming out of Italy at the Moment?



"mind the gap"

Fav label at the mo: Subway.

What did you think of that Resistance is Futile track on Subway?



I got it.... and I think it's nicely hard.
