So I'm curious of people's opinions of rolling while at EDM shows. Do you enjoy the music/etc with/without it? It's usually the first thing people ask if I'm going to do if I mention I'm going to see a DJ.

At Electric Zoo this year I rolled on MDMA for the first time during Ferry, Mat Zo, and Above & Beyond, then MDA for the first time during Above & Beyond and Markus Schulz. I enjoyed both experiences immensely, and (assuming I can get tickets tomorrow) I intend to take MDMA again during Eric Prydz in November at Roseland Ballroom. Before that weekend I typically only listened to EDM (house, techno, electro, some trance) while running or while driving, but since then I find myself listening to it (including a lot more trance) almost every day. I'm jealous of those that can fully enjoy EDM shows while completely sober but I still haven't tried it, and after experiencing the euphoria that was rolling in the Group Therapy tent on Friday night at EZoo I can't wait to relive the experience.

I was at a show for the first time sober earlier this year. It was Above and Beyond's show, and I still really enjoyed it. But that might have been because the crowd was extra epic. I enjoy the music, I just get really tired, that's the biggest thing for me.

Rolling though...is an entirely other experience that cannot be measured in words.

Yes. Listen to old sets and old tracks. And move on to other genres within EDM that sound more 'trancey' than the newest so called 'trance' from today.

Believe me. Trance music was my world. It still is. I have just moved on to other music now that still gives me that feeling I had with the old Trance music. I used to stay at home for A State of Trance back in the day, went to parties where Armin would spin solo, before the big crowd even knew who he was. I breathe Trance music. Still think about it all day, everyday, when I wake up. I make music myself, Trance is still important to me. Me and a friend would go the vinyl shop every week, and hunt down the new tunes that were not ID'ed yet, or just the new tracks that were pure bliss. Music is still important to me. It has given me so much. So much. But not today's music what is being called 'Trance', while it really has nothing to do with Trance in any way. I'm sorry. So yes, for me the new Armin does suck.

I hate the new "trance" too, and have personally moved on to harder electronic styles such as hardstyle and hardcore. I wonder if there's some interest for that on GAF.

Examples of good hardstyle:

Glad you liked that track, because I really liked it. You might enjoy the following track from Deadmau also:

I love Jesus. He has changed me and my entire life. So, I am so grateful to Him for what He has done for me and my wife.

But that doesn't change that I love music. Electronic music (all styles), which I have been listening to since 1992 (maybe even 1991), is something that I really enjoy and love sharing with others. I hope some of the music that I have shared brightens the lives of others.

Ya. When Arty played it in his first show, Together We Are: Episode 001, I couldn't stop listening to it. I had my wife listen to it, and she also really liked it.

Side note... As long as the music sounds good, I personally do not care what style it is.

Your welcome. Do you like Progressive House mixed with trance?

Tr4nce said:
Find their Essential Mix from 06-06-2004 :)
Click to expand...

For me, from 2009 to 2011 Above and Beyond's Anjunabeats label blew up.

The 2004 essential mix doesn't have the same quality as their tracks from 2009 to 2011. I think this mainly has to do with the fact that many of the producers (Oliver Smith, Mat Zo, Boom Jinx, Solarity, Arty, 7 Skies, Andrew Bayer, etc.) that made tracks between 2009 to 2011, were not with the their label prior to 2009. I think having those producers at Anjunabeats influenced Above and Beyond in a positive way, and their production skills also improved greatly.

What do you think?

Nothing wrong with playing a great trance song over and over. Slap him next time he does that!

No love for my mixes? :( My next one should be a bangerrrrr

Also, so sad. 6 locations announced for ASOT 600, none in CA. Guess I'm going to Mexico City or New York.

I disagree. The best records came out in the early days of Anjunabeats. Early stuff from (Oliver) Smith & Pledger, their own tracks, Menno de Jong, Super8, etc etc.

Smith, Mat Zo, 7 Skies and Andrew Bayer and Boom Jinx are excellent producers. That is a fact. But back then, Trance didn't sound so overly clean, and clinical. Not everything was EQ'ed and compressed to death. But if you have been following this thread a little you know that I'm a sucker for the good old Trance days. When Trance was just, well, Trance! It has changed too much. Almost has nothing to do with Trance anymore.

Nah..I can't stand club shows. Way too crowded and the music is always more housey than I prefer. Only if it was someone super special, but I just saw those 2 at Beyond Wonderland.

Also, the bolded...pun or literal? haha

Excellent music bro. You have the same taste in music that I do. So, I know exactly what you are looking for now. =]

This site will meet your musical tastes. All sets a free, are updated weekly on Friday, and they have a huge backlog of sets:

Silk Royal Showcase

I tend to like the guest mixes more than the resident dj mixes. So, knowing your taste, I assume you will probably feel the same.

I would also encourage you to go through some of the tracks I just posted in my last post. I think you will enjoy many of those tracks.

So, last night was The Warehouse Project night i posted about above.

Just thought id write down a few bits.

Venue is absolutely massive. The main room is insane. Temperature got pretty damn high, and the concrete floor got filthy and ruined my shoes, but it was awesome.

Caught some W&W in the main room, who were throwing out some ace tunes. First time ive heard Emery - The Saga live, and it sounded much better than at home.

Spent a lot of time in Room 3. Very small room, lesser know DJ's. Absolutely incredible sound system in here though. Everything sounded fantastic.
Missed the start of AvB's set on purpose as wanted to catch a Facebook Friend/Promoter playing his first WHP - Steve Arnold. Best set of the night for me, without a doubt. Some really driving, moody trance with the odd classic. Stunning. Only an hour long, but enjoyed every second.

Caught a bit more in here before seeing the end of AvB and then PvD. Was quite nice to hear Armin come on the mic at the end of the set and mention the DJ Mag results. He seemed really humbled by it all.
AvB played some awesome tunes, and then about a third of the room left when PvD came on! PvD was definitely on form - shame the sound system in this main room wasnt up to the job for the space, needed more volume and much more low end. The pyrotechnics were about 10x as loud as the music.

Either way, insane night. Been asleep most of the day... going back to bed now.

I took some photos, but theyre nowhere near as good as the ones WHP are putting up themselves.
