its not that, I already got that song. Its subtly different

It's actually completely different because it's Deadmau5 - Not exactly

Shouldn't have been so cocky with my original reply!

I heard this at the end of an 'A State of Trance' set in my car last night and I got goosebumps

Is anyone going to this event? I'm tempted to drive all the way from Cardiff just to see all those amazing Anjunabeats DJ's. Never been clubbing by myself before but I will definitely make the exception for A&B!

There is a 50% chance i might be going to this! Need to scrape £40 or so together

I couldn't find a hotel for under £109 in that area with parking so I don't think I'll be going

Train there and first train home?

EDIT\ Just had a quick look on the trainline.com:

Outwards
Cardiff - London Paddington
Dep 13.55
Arr 16.03
0 changes
Cost £15.50

Return
London Paddington - Cardiff
Dep 07.00
Arr 09.41
1 Change
Cost £15.50

£31 in total, probably cheaper than petrol alone would have cost you!

My No.1 Favorite atm is definitely Never Again - Robert Nickson (Nitrous Oxide mix)!!!!

Whats everyone elses opinions on this? Contender for tune of the year?

Whilst it's a decent track i don't think it's quite TOTY material.

My contenders so far would probably be:

Martin Roth - Off the world (Gareth Emery Remix)
Pascal Feliz - Reflect

Grrrrr · 2 Jul 2008 at 12:28

Just flicking through my 2008 folder and i have to say 2008 has been a fantastic year, so many good tracks!

Has anyone heard Fred Baker - Voices ? Thoughts?

Grrrrr · 2 Jul 2008 at 13:54

Do you like quite hard fast trance? For example:

Mekk - Resitance (Activa vs. Mekk Remix)

Nice one! Now, are you up to date on your Martin Roth stuff? His is the set i'm most looking forward to

I think I've just been listening to it for so long that my ears are too used to it, and nothing stands out.

I can certainly relate to this although it's less for energetic trance and more for 'fluffy' trance. The exact same synths and drum rolls and oversized breakdowns all start rolling into one after a while!

Oh Yes His NuStyle mix of Sensation Seekers gets played waaaay too often in my house.

I should be wearing a red Anjunabeats t-shirt. Hopefully the dress-code is casual!

I'll see your Sensation Seekers remix and raise you one of the best tracks of '06: Tillmann - Uhrmacher (Martin Roth Remix)

Come say hi if you see this tshirt (but for christ's sake don't call me 'Grrrrr'

, Pete will do fine!)

And yes I chickened out of posting the full picture, there's plenty of other terrible photos of me floating about on the internet!

Any Bryan Kearney fans? Here are 4 remixes of his available for download

Daft Punk - One More Time (Bryan Kearney's Planet Love Intro Mix)
Kleerup feat Robyn - With Every Heartbeat (Bryan Kearney Treatment)
Bodyrox - Yea Yea (Bryan Kearney Remix)
Karen Overton - Your Lovin Arms (Bryan Kearney's Filth Treatment Remix)

http://www.matthardwick.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22114

The remix of Kleerup is superb especially.

Grrrrr · 31 Jul 2008 at 17:48

I love Kearney, his work is mostly very hard and fast; how trance should be. Punchline is superb, more to life is superb, rotterdam remix is superb, there is a sample of 'Upended' on his myspace which sounds outstanding and i simply can't stop listening to the Kleerup remix. (The omission of exactly was deliberate!)

Granted the tracks i linked to sound a little rough round the edges but that will be because they were never going to get a release and probably haven't been mastered

Grrrrr · 31 Jul 2008 at 22:06

Anjunabeats, armada etc i consider stale and bland, give me discover style trance any day

The most consistent label for me based on my purchases would be Euphonic funnily enough.

All the Askew/Kearney/Downey/Tyas stuff sounds the same. Yes, they are faster and energetic, but aren't memorable.

I love Stoneface & Terminal so i'll give you the comment on Euphonic (not to mention everyone's favourite euphonic track - megashira

)

Tyas pulls out the odd corker but 90% of his stuff, remixes especially are just hard kick with extra percussion, very samey. Similar thing for Askew, on the other hand i love almost everything by Kearney and Downey. Paul Miller looks like a promising producer and i quite like Colontonio as well

Grrrrr · 1 Aug 2008 at 02:03

I cba to list a whole bunch of tracks but if you add me to msn i'm always happy to talk trance

And BT is awesome

Grrrrr · 1 Aug 2008 at 11:18

I want my thread renamed back to Trance please mods!

(I bet this post will be seen 100000x quicker if i post a link to a mix as well
