"Hard Trance/Dance"

Anyone here like Hard Trance/Dance? DISCUSS!

Here's a starter: DJ Tiesto's 'Love Comes Again'-Mark Norman remix. Banging tech-trance and Mike Robbin's 'Are You A Freak?' remixes on Bulletproof. Can't wait till' it comes out.

Cheers.

What's the artist name Kernal?

I can't reccommend the Claro Intellecto album highly enough. Really beautiful techno-ish stuff. Came out a few weeks ago and it's been pretty much glued to my stereo ever since. Peace of Mind is the track to download if you want a sample (it's definitely on Soulseek, probably not on Kazaa).

Damn, that was quick. The mail was only picked up 5pm yesterday. Oh well, enjoy. Ignore the first listen (perhaps even second), his style takes a little adjusting to.

Many thanks for the cd Pandaemonium!

Received this morning as I was leaving for work, but not had chance to listen to it yet.

Will give it a go tonight, and post some thoughts tomorrow...

I've also heard it called Intelligent Dance, so whether that's a new genre on it's own I have no idea.

To be honest, I like most of their stuff without actually enjoying it, if that makes any sense?

I think the problem is that it is very hard to hear new dance stuff.

I don't have braodband, so no way of listening to online radio stations, though when I was at unversity www.digitallyimported.com had me listening for hours...

Also, the clubs round here are rubbish, playing R'nB and crap like that. I don't have sky either, so there's no real way for me to find new artists to listen to.

The only way would be to go into HMV or Play or where ever and buy random cd's hoping that I'll like them.

Last year I went to mp3.com and found some new artists on there that I liked the sound of, but since then the site has shut down, apparently to re-open, but I've given up keep checking on it.

Oh, for those that like slightly more chilled out dance, have a listen to Fila Brazilia or Bonobo, both top artists.

And the Rob Dougan track Fallen Angels - heard it last year and it sounded very similer to Clubbed to Death to me...

I never said it was drum & bass.

:-P

Aphex aint really drum and bass, more experimental techno on speed. or what they call drill'n bass

If you prefer it alot more rough and twisted try some squarepusher or other warp record artists.

oh and if u really want d'nb and grunge mixed together try and get hold of Nightbreed - Pack of Wolves. Andy c has drop it loads in his sets recently, i dont really like it, buts its a breath of fresh to what is a fairly 'samey' genre.

Agreed. The music industry is messed up: talented artists from the underground that do not sound like 'DJ Sammy' aren't getting into the charts. This type of argument can also go for many rock bands, but artists like BK, Junior Jack, Mylo, Madvillian, John 'OO' Flemming, etc. should be commercialised as they will teach a lesson to DJ Sammy and co. what Dance music really is.

UW.

Aphex Twin: Brilliant, twisted electro-especially Windowlicker. Other artists that are, somehow, fantastic, are BK (famous for his under ground Hard House clasic 'Revolution'), and other artists like Andy Farley, Plump DJ's (you've probably heard of the Plumps) and Nick Rowland.

Didn't expect this much replies, but keep your opinions and critisism coming!

UW. I'm back.
