H E L L O M A R K .........................?
hahaha think he is body swerving us :crackup: :laughing:
mark will probaly just go "i dont play old stuff anymore blah blah blah, give me some ardstyle and some techno blah blah blah, its important to keep advancing the music blah blah blah!" :laughing:
sorry mark :ohdear: :cheese:
:haha:
yeah the fact that I havent seen mark playing an old skool hard trance set (93-99) since he played b2b with mick at extreme @ the void in 2001 says a lot. I appreicate music progresses and the need to look forward keeps the scene healthy but Im guessing that if mark played an old skool tarnce set at a big night youd see a pretty busy room. The fact is I stopped buying & playing hard trance & hardstyle 2.5 years ago and Ive checked latest stuff comign out now and again and it sounds gash. The hardstlye is too screachy and seems to mass produced cr.ap so apart from techno im not really buying any new stuff. Im going off on one here but just be interesting to here what mark has to say about it

I have not been buying no-where near as much as i use to. My fav sound goes back to 2000-2004. The old Kramers & co/Scot Projects/S.H.O.K.K's/Flutlitchs/Hennes & Cold etc etc. Tunes like Jam X 'Das Licht' and Marc La Cruz 'Future Prison, i could go on forever. I also like the 98 and 99 sound (Brainstorm)
Now i am not saying that all Hard Trance at the min is shit, there is still some quality from the likes of Kamui, Scot Project etc but it doesnt compare to what i have mentioned above.
So yeah it would be interesting to hear Mark's views. (And hopefully a mix)
Just one or two old skool tunes dropped subtly into his sets every now and again would blow the roof.Quote:

also, everyone's version of old school is so very different. i've been playing hard trance since 1994, so that's like 13 years of different types, different feelings and different sounds. wouldn't that be one hell of a confused dancefloor????? hehe lol
you know, i do want to do a mix of some old school stuff for here but knowing me (it's the same with all my home recorded mixes) it would take me 2 months of planning and about 3 days of solid mixing getting the mix right. i really am a perfectionist when it comes to shit like that. ok leave it with me, perhaps it will inspire me in the studio too. i was thinking recently how i need to get back into writing a form of new hard trance, inspired from the old days, this seems a good way to do it.
:cool:
think the same way myslef,what was it about "back in the day" hard trance as they say that isnt the same today?
nice one if you get a set up.....eventually lol :P
it really does upset me when i listen to an old set an think all of these tunes you'll never hear in a rave ever again,its ok listenin too a tune at home but its not the same as blasted out in a rave :whoops:
