Why Do I Still Mix Trance?
filed in Uncategorized on Jun.20, 2010
It has come to my attention more recently that trance isn’t exactly a popular genre, nor thriving in terms of new productions.
Why don’t I go with the flow, and mix the latest and greatest stuff that is heard in clubs? Because I don’t like it. Electro-house and the lot is interesting, and even good sounding, but mostly if you’re under the influence, unless you find you self captivated by it, in which case you’re likely just going through a phase. I’m not here to make a post about bashing other genre’s however. I’m talking about why I mix trance.
The progressive and enveloping sounds of trance help re-create a sense of natural euphoria only found when true, unconditional enjoyment is achieved. This sensation further develops a state of mind that allows one to be at peace with them selves, and the world around them. I openly admit that my taste in music is easily the most picky part of my self. I’ll eat almost anything, I can live in almost any conditions and stay optimistic, I can deal with the most… interesting of characters and not complain. I can even enjoy bad movies for what they’re worth at the time. But when it comes to my music… I draw the line.
When I make a trance compilation, you’re not just hearing a bunch of random good sounds tracks thrown together. It’s an exclusive review of literally the only songs I have found in the past number of months to be worthy of listening to that hasn’t been featured in my past mixes. There is a good reason I put every track in my mixes. It’s the best of the best. All I want to do is further spread the sound of what I call to be truly good sounding trance.
As such, my next compilation is underway, of course, and the track list will be complete in a couple months or so, as it seems to take to find enough tracks. While I said I wouldn’t likely make any more compilations with out the help of an actual hardware mixer, I’m not about to sit on a bunch of tracks while I wait for fund to find my way either.
