A History of Trance Music in Ten Tracks

alistair

Still think those early BBE tracks sound good (Flash and Seven days)

Dan

Crap

alistair

Dan not even when you were tearing it up to Oakie at Colchester Poly?

Dan

alistair Parks & Wilson stole the show.

Unbroken1 I meant revisionist in saying we didn’t like it at the time. Holds some great memories despite me having had no interest in playing it in recent years

Mauro gets nostalgic

jonattonyeah

alistair

When you’re 54 years old everything was better 20 years ago. I wouldn’t exactly call 2001 “old school techno” but I’ll defer to Mauro superfan Zackster for that one.

ScottBailey surely 2003/maybe 04 at a stretch

ScottBailey

NasserAlazzawi it’s definitely subjective, but I don’t remember listening to or buying much trance after ’99. I found Digweed’s show on Kiss 100 around 2000, and that was that. Only gone back to buy a few post 2000 trance tracks out of nostalgia in recent years.

Dan

jonattonyeah It’s all a of load of shit.

Old School Techno 140bpm

Modern Day Techno 130bpm

Modern Day Techno 130bpm

That’s literally bullshit.

The problem is most of you on here listen to what the likes of Digweed, Tale of Us, Adam Beyer etc. are peddling while calling it “techno” while really it’s middling tech-house.

Meanwhile there are loooads of big DJs and producers out there still pushing 140bpm+; in fact high bpm techno from 140 even up to 155bpm has had something of a mini-renaissance in the last few years.

Dubman

Go back another 10 years & techno was probably way below 130. When I occasionally have mix of my early techno I’m surprised at how slow it is in bpm’s

Homegrove

80’s techno for sure was below 130 bpm.

Dan

Homegrove 120

Dubman

Dan
I reckon max 125.

Dan

Dubman +4

Dubman

+8 and it still sounds slow

Dan

I can imagine the likes of DJ Rush are still belting it out….140+

Almost gave me a heart attack reading that.
