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

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!

              NasserAlazzawi Now this is what I’m talking about! Trust Nas to deliver the goods.

              And by “goods” I mean “complete trash which you should rightfully feel embarrassed about”.

              The vocal in ‘Ghosts’ isn’t too bad, mind.

                This thread is an absolute abomination.

                And it’s all Hugo’s fault.

                  I like the way Hugo is dictating the rules in a thread he didn’t even start.

                  Mesmerising levels of ASPERGERS.

                  hugopal Diving Faces not sure it was ever as much a “classic”?

                  I never said it was a classic. This thread, as you have pointed out many times, is for guilty pleasures.

                  Certainly it must have been popular, at least with DJs, as it was inescapable for about 6 months. Although often as an early or mid-set track.
