Dan is a good friend of mine, he lives 5 mins down the road. We did a couple of tracks together 10+ years ago. I cringe when I hear them now though. I'll show him this thread One of the nicest people you could wish to meet, he's a lovely bloke.

My sincere apologies if any of these have been mentioned and/or posted previously. I did scan the thread, however, I have drank rather a lot of vodka this evening. Regardless, some of these merit repetition, wouldn't you say?

I digress; in light of the above I came here to post this...

Classic acid trance

[mwstewart]

Had some great times at 'Crasher, GodsKitchen (later Code), Slinky, PaSSion, and many other insalubrious places. I've always been into the deeper, prog side of things - latterly tech and minimal - so my trance library is small, but I can appreciate a good classic. I'll post a few tracks that may fit the bill.

Jon Hopkins - Halo (not trance).


Halo was eventually released as Everything Connected, and the Stephan Hinz Remix is more on the hard trance side.


Tim Green (not trance).



Very nice build in this. 6am tune (not trance).


Bit of minimal on Farmat (not trance).

I'm loving the French scene at the moment, especially Traumer, who has been inspired by the Romanian minimal (Rominimal) scene. He plays the occasional deeper track - like this (not trance).


Back to the brief...afraid my knowledge of trance ends around this period, so none of it is up to date!

So many trance tunes to love, but for me probably the finest is this.

One of those tunes that whenever I hear it I stop what I'm doing and it takes me back to a place I rarely go.

Riva Stringer is an awesome track its funny how with some tracks you can remember exactly where you were when they came out

There was a club night in Leeds Friday monthly progressive night I'm buggered if I can remember the name but the resident DJ was "Maurice" he was superb always played a long set prior to the likes of Sasha/Emmerson or whoever coming on. He dropped this and we were like...WOW!

• edit it was Union at the Space right back when the Space first opened!

Another one that was like this...Homelands May 1999 This track was just appearing on white label one of those very rare tracks that was so hot it just exploded and almost every big DJ played it. I'm pretty sure PVD played it twice in his set. Afterwards it went so mainstream mit was ridiculous and would be overlooked for that reason but taking that away I have always thought that this is one of the best bits of electronic music ever made just based on its composition/simplicity and pure melody. Outside of the Orbit in Morley I don't think I have ever heard crowds react to a tune anywhere like people did to this:

I also like Stringer - great to dance to. I remember Zombie Nation from Creamfields around the same time. It was around that time that Trance became really popular - programs on TV like Rapture TV, and trance tracks could be heard on regular TV, which was always a surprise given what had come before. Great time to be going out though as the crowds were really good.

I haven't heard Emerson play out, which is a shame - latterly I liked his Global Underground Uruguay mix. Back then Sasha was always my main influence.

The Man With The Red Face is class. It's not my fave genre as there were so many 'meh' tracks which were indistinguishable from each other but Laurent Garnier certainly knew what he was doing.

Especially with this

I could almost echo your entire post word for word. Seems we used to have and now still have similar taste in music. I'd throw in Daniel Avery, Maceo Plex, Ritchie Hawtin, Jorge Castro, Guy J, Nina Kraviz and loads more for some other cool sets

Avery is a great producer - really clean. Some of his ambient work reminds me of Ulrich Schnauss but mixed in with the Kompakt sound. Very nice!

Maceo Plex as well, good shout. Have you heard the tracks under his Maetrik moniker? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXg343kHtIg was a personal fave.

I must go listen to all the links you guys have been posting since I started this thread.

Anyway, this is what is noodling through my head right now.

I should put together a YouTube playlist of my fave trance tracks for you to disagree with.

(Joking aside, I love how nice everyone has been over differing tastes within the trance genre on this thread)

A thread after my own heart.

Not an advert per se - but hopefully one or two of you will enjoy:

Really nice crowd. DJ Danos is doing his trance show 20:00-22:00 today.
Plays current and classic stuff.

Ant McMullan is on beforehand (starting 1830) and he's doing House and Techno.

Anyway, give it it a go.

My, my, my, this thread is absolutely splendid, even better than I imagined.

Shout out to DrBrule.
