hugopal Dude if you have nothing to offer other than criticism and negativity, perhaps keep your counsel.

Alternatively, post some of your guilty pleasures and contribute good vibes.

    One of my guilty pleasures was having a massive dump just as I’m coming up.

    Hard to replicate irl, closest is after a double espresso first thing in the morning

      whatever
      Dear Dan.

      You’re a massive fucking looser if you don’t specify which mix.

      Your number 1 fan.

        Mad_Cyril Haaah. Same. I used to enjoy doing that so much I started to wonder if I was, in fact, a left-footer.

        Turns out I’m not. Really don’t like the taste of cock.

          The treacles loved this track. Cheesy but very well produced

            Fucking double-lol

            alistair good pick - borderline on the cheese front, but prob just about fairly falls in to the guilty pleasure category by virtue of it having been a pretty mainstream hit and basically everything else made by G&D being horrendous shite.

            bosstrabs What the world needs is a Business Class Lounge with orchestral remixes of Gatecrasher trance classics pumped in.

            Lol!

            Hmm, fine.

            These are perhaps the two “cheesiest” Gatecrasher era tunes I still have a fondness for:

            I had also considered some Ferry Corsten stuff, but then I couldn’t say they’d be in the slightest guilty pleasures as his stuff is just too good for that.

              Fuck y’sll

              A bit too wet for me, but yeah that fits the thread - and you forgot the vid.

                Quite like the Tall Paul remix. Now that’s a guilty pleasure.

                Millsy not sure it’s particularly cheesy. Perc has even played it in the middle of a hard as nails techno set.

                For me when I got into the trance/ pogressive house music around 1998 I was previously only into drum n bass and techno, so some of the cheesier end of trance at the time was still interesting to me. Obvious choice in this thread for me was

                But I probably loved a bit of ATB at some point then too!

                I should feel guilty, but I don’t.

                I caught these tracks aged 15/16 at school right before my first Godskitchen experience happened later in 2002.

                If it wasn’t for one close school friend influencing my music taste (when no one else seemed to be into it) on mini disk players and Napster / Audiogalaxy I wouldn’t have gone in this direction at all and definitely wouldn’t be a DJ.

                Some of the proper Trance I later got into at Promise / Goodgreef etc made me wish I was born 4 years earlier so I could have seen what many of you guys did. I always heard the stories / could feel the enthusiasm about what went down around / after 1999 in particular.

                I got about 2 more years out of Trance before heading more in the Prog/House/Techno direction (Trance scene died off in Newcastle around 2005) but it was attending the Trance warmups where I discovered Prog etc.

                Trance was the gateway drug for me even though I never seek it out now - searching for those tunes above has just brought loads of class memories back - so thank you!
