Will trance re-emerge?
Does anyone think that trance will re-emerge? Seeing as house has re-appeared in the mainstream?

You.still have acts like Deadmau5 and Eric Prydz who are keeping the spirit of trance alive usually infused with EDM but it's an evolution Also artists like Avicci and Armin Van Buren were originally trance acts and still use the sound in their music. It never went away it just changed imo

trance is alive and well, just not in mainstream. tbh i doubt if anything good will become mainstream itll just be a copycat 'lets do this' but lack the real drive that the original movement had. all 'revivals' suffer from this as they try to play at being part of whatever movement, but end up being kinda play acting. there are 'trance families' in many countries, the one in ibiza thankfully trying to promote the style .... however... i had a message on fb this morning from my son ( a trance dj, dj-ing in ibiza, on the set with judge jules friday) and he keeps getting 'told off' for playing trance at his residency ( entice bar), so he banged on (the uncut version of) the outhere brothers 'dont stop wiggle wiggle',

Maybe but you are just sounding like a old rock fan, equivalent of real rock was Led Zeppelin, modern rock is rubbish. Do you want trance to evolve into something new or do you want it to just sound like the 90s. If you want it to sound like the 90s just listen to that as it will never be beaten, it was the golden era. I have a crateful of 90s trance and '1999' is one of the best i agree.
Look at the house music hits today David Zowie is nothing more than a busier produced mid 80s faceless house track like 'Jack Your Body' but kids are hailing like the 2nd coming, It is no more fresh than Royal Blood reviving 70s rock. For me the best trance record will always be this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MT9pH9C7Oew |

I don't think that trance will come back the way it did in the late 90s as it was a true scene (music, radio exposure, clubs, even dress since e.g. crasher kids).
People such as oakie, jules and digweed still play trance. I think a lot of the Edm sound that is popular in the States is very orientated. |

As is popular with dance genres they disappear and then reemerge under a different name a few yeArs later.
Such as speed garage / uk garage and big beat/ breaks |

those acts are scorned by true trance fans... avb has 'sold out' like tiesto did, courting commercial success. same with avicci but as 'tim berg' (his real name) had a very 'trancy' hit 'seek bromance' a few years ago. theres been friction on social media between deadmau5 and binary finery, deadmau5 were being ***** saying binary finery dont know what trance is... pmsl... for me 1999 epitomises euphoric trance and would be a hard track to better. it was also the last track played on radio 1 on millennium night before y2k started.

LOL! Are they serious? I have never really classed Deadmau5 as trance, but I suppose now, people are having their own interpritation of what trance entails.
It is the best feeling in the world when you come accross a modern trance track that you love nowadays. This is Deadmau5 and it is definitely trance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zK1mLIeXwsQ |

but for arguments sake, lets say it is (after all, classifications arent black and white, theres no clear set boundary in musical styles as many tracks have elements of others styles in them) .... one track doesnt mean that they are trance producers, it means they produced 1 trance track out of many other non trance tracks. deadmau5 dont specialise in trance, so they cannot be called a trance act. |

See, I interpret this as house more than trance. Maybe it's just my taste, but there is not much euphoria with this track. |

its not what id classify as trance... im reliably informed its 'trouse', a trance/house hybrid.

Trance isn't always euphoric, unless its Euphoric Trance. There's a lot more to Trance than what you hear in Ibiza, you know.
All styles of trance are being played in ibiza, psy, dark, goa, progressive, etc not just euphoric/uplifting |

Actually, deadmau5 has produced quite a lot of trance tracks. Also deadmau5 is one guy, not sure why you're referring to him as "they".
But he isnt a trance specialist, hes a producer that (sometimes) produces trance, as opposed to a trance producer that only produces trance. |

Are you aware of just how many different subgenres of trance there are?

no argument, we agree.thats when it reached its height of popularity, and it will always be seen as connected to that era...especially with the 'kevin and perry' film . but trance is alive and well, in various new subgenres albeit rather a nich market. the ibiza trance family is keeping it alive and well in ibiza, arguably its spiritual home. |

I like a lot of genres of trance, hard trance, psy trance etc etc. All I was saying is that I don't deem "I rememer" as trance. But you do and that's your opinion and I respect that. So let me have mine. |

The point that I am trying to get across is that "I remember" does not give me that uplifting feeling.
There are tracks from the sub genres other than uplifting/euphric trance that give me that feeling, eg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixzpd7Dmw_A The Theme by Jurgen Vries mixed by Jam X and De Leon. I find "I remember" to be more of a "sunset" house track. |
