tracks can become classics over a few years but oldskool to me means the routes and were it started :)
Sequence is coming. It's going throughout your imagination. It takes you where you've been before. A higher state of mind. Yeah, you remember the early times. Now were trying to take you again. In the deepest seas of your consciousness.....Time never stops

id say the old skool hard trance is classed from 93-98 to be honest, as the 155-165bpm stuff seemed to dissappear overnight after that.
No real right or wrong to be honest.something for your mind.........

dunno, he seemed to play a lot of tunes from 98-2002. Class set thinking about it. Quite funny speaking to soem of the religion crowd there after his set who thought most of mzones set was new stuff. They seems quite shocked when I told them.
something for your mind.........

It really depends on how long you've been into the scene. For me old school means trax from '90 thru to about '93 . I just think there's a massive difference between old school dance music and dance classics.

it's confusing because some people use it to describe a specific genre - old school = the original fast techno with lots of crazy breaks and cheezy pianos, which eventually split into hardcore and drum & bass. also known as "rave music". this sort of old school was made for a brief period of time, a long time ago, period.
but if you are using "old school" as an adjective, not a noun, then the key is in the phrase itself.
a "school" is a way of thinking. something doesn't have to be old to be old school - it just has to adhere to a way of thinking that is tried and true.
i noticed some big changes in the thinking behind and surrounding techno/trance that culminated in about 1998. the growth of the scene and introduction of virtual analog are largely to blame. out with the old, and in with the new!
but, things do come around again, and by 2002 a lot of records started to come out that harkened back to the old ways, and that trend goes on.
i would say that an acid house record produced in 2004 is infinitely more "old school" than a hard trance record produced in 1999, even though the later might be a "classic".
