RIP Hard Trance... :cry:
Where's the good releases?
Why's no one buzzing in here anymore?
What happened to the scene & music we loved?
I think hard trance is dead.
Sad but true.
If you don't think it is, then prove me wrong.

Exactly! The king of hard trance isn't making quality tunes like he used to, but IMO his stuff's been about the best tracks to come out recently, and they are no where near the standard he used to knock them out at. Is he getting bored of it all?Quote:

Hardstyle again not hard trance. Ok though. :neutral:

As per usual, production's phat as fu*k, but it sounds a little tired to me. You know it will sell well though and it will do the damage on the dancefloor.Quote:

there is no german trance anymore, which for me was always the best, all the last uberdrucks are..... same old, the australia one was the best last one
GAS has stoped and all the hardstyle that was very hardtrance like in a way has all gone gay with chessy samples
sad times :cry:
odyssey vocal? whats odyssey?
dunno if its our tune mate... any chance of a clip or summat, i dont have that cd.
and re: hard trance being dead... well i dont think it will die, its just gonna be dormant for a few years. most music goes in cycles doesnt it.
some new kids will discover it and start playing all these old pulses and uberdrucks, then people will start putting on nights for it again and the rollercoaster will start back up.
i mean look how massive hardcore is now, i mean it never properly died out, but sales are mental for it at the mo compared to hard trance, and you cant move for hardcore events these days.
log give me a shout on msn ill send it over
Louk
yeh uk sounding trance is pretty much all bollocks innit... :lol:Quote:

There's a load of Jay Walker stuff floating about on mp3, u'd probably hate it though, pretty progressive....
loads more j k stuff to come have no fear
Louk
hardcore is quite big again , i reckon like last time as people tire of the sound / get a little older (as it is a youger scene on the whole ) hard trance will again shine
no diss to the hardcore its where i came from lol
Same here man, think the hard trance scene might need to take a step back a few years and re-think.Quote:

sighs right really even though i hate to say it i havent bought much hard trance for about two years and turned back to just buyin techno i rarely get tempted to return apart from the odd gas or scot project release
Ive read on so many ocassions on this forum over the years that theres nothing good coming out anymore within hardtrance and Ive always disagreed very strongly but unfortunatley this time i'd have to agree.
The problem seems to be that all the labels that are releasing at the moment are either hardstyle labels or ex-hardtrance who have crossed over to hardstyle which sucks serious ass.
As everyone keeps saying most of the stuff that is coming out sounds like UK Hardtrance i.e. tired and stale which must mean that the ideas have dried up.
That doesnt mean it'll last, just look what happened when hannes & cold brought out Second Trip all them years ago. It brought about a whole change in the entire sound and direction of hardtrance which has lasted for around 5 years now, all it takes is for one producer to come along with a fresh idea and direction to spark the new way forward.
As Djs we've just got to keep searching for that.
im finding quite a bit of good hard trance recently, havent bought owt this month coz i have 2 save for me holiday, ive just sigend 2 hard trance tunes for me label, its still there, i think a lot of people nowadays call everything hardstyle so it all falls under that catergory, doesnt have to be uplifting to be called trance. back in the day t'was easy to call something a genre, now theres so many crossovers its impossible to say its just one style... going full circle me thinks!
Its always the same agrument innit, hard trance isnt dead, genre labelling is dead. :lol:
A lot of the stuff i buy has a nice hard trance riff but you wouldnt find it on germantrance.
totally agree with the bread man... I think it pretty much died in 2002..... Long live old skool hard trance!!!Quote:

I think Hard Trance will come back, seems Tracid Producers are now free to do some more with Traffic Tunes & Druck.Quote:

i dont think a music genre can ever die out when theres people who love it as much as me... i think the hard trance producers have kinda lost direction a bit and theres a lot of floundering around going on.
i love hard trance, and have loads of mates who do too. theres just no decent hard trance night anywhere that isnt actually hard dance with bk/ed real etc playing.
if im ever good enough to play out im gonna try my hardest to put on at least one proper german hard trance night somewhere (not the fridge, obviously altho that would be amazing!) so that i can have a night listening purely to the kind of tunes i wanna hear!
