It might be old news but DJs are playing trance again !!!!!

Shocker I know, but true. The first I heard of it was looking through RAs top mixes and in the descriptuion of a mix by Nina Kraviz it described how she had played a trance record but significantly pitched down. I thought this sounded interesting so I googled 'DJs playing trance' and got a whole load of responces.......https://www.redbull.com/gb-en/trance-back-artists-labels-djs-club-nights
Oh and also those 'trance wax' releases have added to the momentum....https://www.discogs.com/Trance-Wax-Trance-Wax-One/release/9073079

Well I'm into it anyway and am going to dig for some crappy old trance music now...

Oh god ! It had to happen. We now have 'NEO TRANCE'...;https://www.discogs.com/Lorenzo-Senni-XAllegroX-The-Shape-Of-Trance-To-Come/release/10900265

Greece 2000 has also just been edited and put out by Moscoman https://www.discogs.com/Three-Drives-Greece-2000-Moscoman-Remix/release/12911038

Guys, I'm afraid I think we need to calm down, this ain't a real trend...

Trance is still around in a number of record if you dig it very very carefully (Dario Rossi, Aoud SE MKII, Alpha Tracks, Voyageur 21, maybe some of the latest Bedrock or Pryda also for instance), but what you are describing is a grotesque revival where some hype Techno djs are trying to catch the attention of their audience with some classic melodies... in some boring repumped 2018 versions...
I think Techno is just trying to broaden the spectrum of style to keep artists big and bankable by adding some easy flavour and melodic content on their set, that's a shame.

On wax, there are a few initatives : Trance Wax by Ejeca indeed, Bonzai has made remakes as well with Netherworld, Renaissance remixing Age of Love or Cafe Del Mar, and now Positiva is also doing a few (BBE Flash, Greece 2000...)

but let's face it, that's just some revamping...

Trance as we knew it, is unfortunately dead the only remaining 'trance' scene is the one of Luminosity events (very digital), out of the vinyl scope...

Guys, I'm afraid I think we need to calm down, this ain't a real trend...

Damn! I was just about to dust off my glow sticks and my shrine to the lovely Tiësto (PBUH) because I thought those epic breakdowns and uplifting melodies of yore were back in effect!

a breakdown more dramatic than an episode of Coronation Street

I was always spinning the true trance from the early days where the music denoted the word
," to be in a state of trance" which was/were usually trippy deep productions before it became bastardized in the late 90s with stabby melodys becoming associated with "cheesy".
I've since moved more towards techno but retain being attracted towards the trippy elements that's incorporated.
As a corollary, I thus shamelessly plug my mix of the Classics defining the beforementioned perspective.

Neo trance was the European name for the melodic prog house/tech house stuff that came of labels like Border Community and Kompakt during the 2000s. The sound of current neo trance is fairly similar to that stuff, to my ear.

I'd like trance to make a come back. There have been some interesting select tunes released by Deepchord and a few others that get close.

Edit: A lot of new sonic territories were discovered since trance was popular, and I'd like whatever artists are interested in that sound to push those boundaries even more. It feels like there is so much left that's unexplored.

The old tunes are still big!
Trance changed in Germany from around 1994/1995 on into Hardtrance (before it was just pure let´s say from 1992 to 1994)...
It then splitted up into Goa-,Psytrance and other subgenres.
I don´t know what´s been playing today but for me the old ones are still the best ones!

I was there from the beginning and I can tell you that we had good times back then!

Maybe Trance wasn´t that big in the UK(where UK Hardcore was big during that time) or elsewhere...

Techno was equally as big as UK Hardcore in the UK in the early '90s. Trance I've never was a big fan of. Unfortunately it became big and took over techno's limelight, even in the UK by the way. It wasn't just a mainland European thing. So not as simplistic as your statement.

Although this was overplayed around some circles, it's the most decent thing you've posted. Why? Because it's closer to acid and techno than trance in my opinion.

I don´t mean that Trance didn´t exist in the UK.Maybe it also depends on how your focus was at that time.
In the early 90s everything was pretty mixed up(like Techno,Acid,Trance all together) and later the different genres and subgenres started to evolve.When we went to Raves everything was played and mixed together.Ok,then there were different areas for each style.
In Germany we were happy about all the UK Hardcore stuff for example and mixed these records among others.
But here there were obviously labels that were well known for good Trance production (like Eye Q,Superstition,Frankfurt Beat,Harthouse etc.)Also Trance from Belgium-
If you take Bonzai records for example.Nearly everyone listened to those records.

I'm stating the obvious but it's a matter of taste I suppose.

The UK had a massive trance scene for a number of years, up and down the country.

musicshaolin
Harthouse

musicshaolin
Bonzai Records

Out of the ones you've mentioned, the above are my preferred choices as they weren't straight trance labels. Some contained a style of each on one release so there was variety. Or many elements in one track. It was an experimental era so I enjoyed some of it. I didn't mind some of Bonzai's very early releases as they were more techno. The other labels were a bit too 'pure' trance for my tastes. Was never that much into pure trance even when it was 'good', even before it became commercial. I can't put my finger on why I didn't enjoy it as much as techno or hardcore. I think I found it dreary, cold, not enough funk or grit maybe. I really can't say why that is for sure.

At first a lot of trance was played at techno clubs. Or clubs that had more than one room, playing anything from techno, hardcore, house, trance, breakbeat, early jungle etc

It then shifted to places where it was associated with progressive house, tribal house, and then with hard house etc and all that big room stuff played at Ibiza commercial style clubs.

Again those scenes weren't really something I ever got into. I listened to a lot of it without it being my choice because of my friends, workmates, sisters, cousins etc I could say that about a lot of music actually.

If you're into the labels you've posted above, you should come to the UK and check out some record shops. There's tons of it sitting around in bargain bins as many DJs and collectors have ditched the vinyl for digital. Although that said, because of the more recent vinyl resurgence, prices have started to creep up again, slightly. But still, bargains are to be had, compared to other genres where prices are WELL steep.

musicshaolin
But here there were obviously labels that were well known for good Trance production (like Eye Q,Superstition,Frankfurt Beat,Harthouse etc.)

I'm missing Noom Records and Time Unlimited in this list.
There was no way to get around them between 92 and 95.
Their records were being played virtually everywhere.
Same for Prolekult, though that's obviously a UK label.

If you ever heard a several hour set by Sven Väth back then you could be sure to hear some fine mixture of Techno and (Hard) Trance!He sometimes played 8 hour sets!
I saw Cosmic Baby playing live several times-it was a great experience since he was a gifted musician with a classical piano education and his music was breathtaking.He recorded whales singing!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BKzLIAmhek

I visited London in 1992 and went to famous Tower Records to do some shopping.
Unfortunately I had no clue of all that great UK Hardcore Records.
And I regret not to have bought as much records as fitted into my suitcase.These records are worth a fortune today!
If I will come to England again I will have a look for these kind of records if I can!

musicshaolin

Oh for sure. Heard him myself more than once.

There was one night in particular he came over and was advertised on the bill for a trance set. He was the main DJ. However, that didn't materialise much. He just got on a rough funky techno/techno/hard techno/hardcore vibe (with the odd hard trance track thrown in) all night long and looked like he was evidently enjoying himself. The trance heads weren't too happy I can tell you. Many of those complaining were tourists from Germany, Holland, Denmark, France, Italy and Spain. I think most of those ended up in the chillout/ambient/downtempo room smoking most of the night, had a chat with a few friendly but disappointed faces.

The main area was absolutely heaving with bodies that night. This was early 1994 by the way. He was on fire and his mixing was as tight as gnat's buttocks. Next to Trevor Rockliffe I believe, and a couple of other DJs I can't recall. But he was on the main bill. The rest of the revelers couldn't stop moving, which I was one of. One of the best sets I've ever heard.

Bah! Many of these UK hardcore records are way too expensive. Especially circa 1993, when everything was turning into jungle. Some of them are really badly produced, pressed badly, noisy, too many bootlegs, badly kept etc yet command unrealistic prices. But I agree. I not only wish i bought more of it, but much of what i got rid of which was the late 1992-1993 is worth a fortune now. I got rid of much it (for a number of reasons) for peanuts before it started to really increase in price. Now it's untouchable. Techno is going the same way.

Some trance stuff might start to follow suite, so I'd suggest to buy now before it's not practical any longer. Unless you're a multi millionaire.

Some of them cost up to 300 British Pounds...
But I suppose a lot of all that stuff(maybe also Techno,Trance,Acid and so on) is going to be reissued which is a good thing!

Yes, for me trance was a dirty word. The DJs who played to always try to create one very long seemless sound and I found it very boring. The so called 'extactic' quality of a lot of the music also used to make me feel sad rather than ....extatic, where as something like Joey Beltrams 'Energy Flash' (which is, I guess a darker sound than trance) would really resonate with me. The music policy of trance DJs appeared, to me, to be very strict with no posibility for much inclusion of diverse genres that were available.....all reasons why I didn't like it...

musicshaolin
Why don´t you go and dig for yourself?I don´t have to educate you - either you like Trance or not

I love a good dig, but I also find the knoweledge of people who are really into a certan genre invaluable. I hate trance which is why I'm asking what the good stuff is so that I might find something in the genre that appeals to me....thanks loads for all of the recommendations dude !

....Ahhh!! just one more thing, SO MANY DIFFERENT MIXES OF EACH TRACK ! I can't make up my mind from these suggestions which are the best mixes and it's turned into a massive project....

You are welcome!
Personally I have problems with newer styles like Jumpstyle,Hardstyle,Grime and you name it...
Also the term EDM (Electronic Dance Music) is an american invention just to commercialize electronic music and generate higher sales for morons and so called remixers like David Guetta,Pittbull featuring his mother etc.etc.
maybe I am too old or I missed the hype - I guess it is a normal thing when you are middle aged.
I probably will be same old grumpy man like my Dad who still is into Deep Purple,Led Zeppelin and others...from his youth.

Otherwise, Trance is dead. It has been for over 15 years or so. One or two decent releases a year doesn't mean it's back or that it's coming back. Even John '00' Fleming, who tried to keep the genre alive, plays mostly progressive now.

Wot, no mention of Pod Communication?

This one's a classic:

Detune - Flying Area (picked up for UK release by Rising High)

I suppose Pod Communication was more acid/techno than trance but, well:

Ongaku - Mihon #3

That is pretty trancey in my book.

After '95-96ish, forget it. The Robert Miles virus infected trance and it became cheesy, formulaic, horrible, and not even remotely trancey!

Or how about this?:

Floppy Sounds - Doing Shows Part I & II

It's a house record but meets the definition of 'trance' far more effectively than many so-called trance tracks...

I grew up with some 2000-era trance, as well, so I do like some of it, partly - or mostly - due to nostalgia.

This mix in particular I like from that era, though I don't know if I'll be listening to that sort of stuff again anytime soon: https://www.discogs.com/Doran-Electric-Daisy-Carnival/release/66987

This was the epitome of trance from that era: https://youtu.be/UEtD9laYXgE - I still think it's solid, whether due to nostalgia or not.

The Digital Blonde's remix of Li Kwan - Point Zero (2004) - https://youtu.be/FhL7hCq2w1w - was probably the last good trance track from the 00' era, and pretty much signified the death of trance.

That part in the middle that plays for like 3-4 minutes is acid techno, but the rest of the track, and most of his stuff in general, is trancey, I think.

You guys never got into the UK progressive trance scene from the early 90's? Stuff from Out On A Limb, Zoom Records, Billy Nasty, Razor's Edge, etc.? There was a guy from the UK many years ago that would spin this sort of stuff and he got me into it.

Oh, and this is going to have purists spitting blood, but IMHO I'd classify this as trance:

Nothing against Basic Channel but I would not consider it Trance.It is just early Techno.

musicshaolin
.It is just early Techno.

Agree it's not trance.

Depends what you consider early. Early-ish maybe. Definitely the first wave of minimal purist Techno. Third or fourth wave of Techno in my opinion. Technically, early Techno is mid 1980s.

I'm going to try not to go on a tangent. But just to say, however much I like and respect Basic Channel. This is the type of techno I'm actually sick of. Everyone has imitated ever since. It hasn't changed that much since the mid 90s.

Labels like Chain Reaction and Basic Channel started a huge Dub Techno wave in mid to late 90s/early 2000s.
Labels like Burial followed,Echospace is also inspired by Basic Channel.
I like a few Moritz von Oswald solo productions.

Yes you're right. But it DEFINITELY isn't the type of techno I enjoy the most.

Yes it is techno, but I was making the point that the characteristics of that track meet the definition of what should be 'trance'. A lot of tracks that are categorised as 'trance' are anything but if you think about the definition logically.

Actually. I like the original "Boeing Mix" from 1990 of that, always have. The subsequent remixes can sit on my middle finger. At the time of the first remixes "1992" I liked the "Sign Of The Time Mix" due to its old school electro rhythm and not the usual four to the floor and overdriven, industrial bass drum, but got sick of it in the end.

"Sign Of The Time Mix"

For sure, one of the best mixes. I love how they kept the original Cherchia vocals. The thing is, with tracks like age of love or café del mar, there's so much potential of creating cool mixes, but its all pretty much rehashes of the same "hit" remix.

I personally wouldn't call it trance, but it's kinda trancey.

Tempest is much like early Richard D James. In fact I think the percussion is sampled from one of his Bubblebaths.

Hmmmm, I've listened to that Tempest record before....I just dismissed it as an Aphex rip off at the time and couldn't believe that Joey Beltram had committed such a hanus crime. But on reconsideration, I can't believe Joey Beltram has committed such a hanus crime ! :)

Fixed!

The thread title reminds me of that tune that goes... 'People are still playing trance it's been going on for quite a while.'

Oh wait a second. That's not trance. It's that boring euro house track from circa 1990? Actually, I think I prefer that tune from most trance :-)

But is it good trance?

By the way, I do like that Maya track. Been playing it for years. It's kind of trancey but primitive sounding. And decidedly rough and funky. I prefer it to most well known trance classics.

Get this one playing in a 'trance' sat:

Kosmik - The Kraken

Superb, hypnotic, and yes, trancey...

...even if it is techno.

After 20 minutes of the first track I didn't bother with any of the others. *Listening now* yeah it's alright !
