With the death of Rock, some expected ElectroniK music to take over the reigns... that didn't turn out too well, but it was fun while it lasted. As far as I am concerned, the first five years of this new century were the peak of all trends in the Electronic Music scene: House, Trance, Tech, Minimal, DnB etc... This thread is an ode to those epic beats, the wasted brain cells and the sketchy memories.... (in short, the best two years of my life)
Let me take you on a ride through what would've been a pretty decent weekend, 3 years ago, in the main room of any major after hours club.
Euphoric Trance 11PM - Stuff you would listen to on your way,
like on an old CD you find in your friends car somewhere
Tiesto - In My Memory
House: 12:30AM-3AM - You would have heard in the first set, this stuff,
anyone can dance to
Deep Dish ft. Stevie Nicks 'Dreams'
Closer to me (Satoshi Tomie Rmx)
Trentemoller Remix - What Else Is There
Trance: 3AM-7AM - The bar has closed, and all the drunks have left...
The mood shifts, the glow sticks come out, the lasers turn on...
and the HardKore Krew takes the stage
Tiësto - Adagio for strings (Original LP Version)
Paul Van Dyke and Deep Dish - The Other Side
Motorcycle - As The Rush Comes (Gabriel & Dresden Remix)
The Downer - Sunday Morning stuff you would listen to on the beach at
8AM, trying to make sense of the sketchy memories of a night, that by
now is just a distant apparition
Tiesto feat Andain - Beautiful Things
Alas, all not-so-good things come to an end... Today, there is no more "trance" or "house"... there is just... the same generic beat, that every DJ plays at every club, all over the world... Good thing I had already left the scene by the time the downfall came. Most of my friends who are still active on the front love the contemporary music exemplified by Dubfire... but whatever ... I know better.
(NOTE: There is a whole separate playlist you would hear in an underground house-only club, but that stuff I can't find on the internet... Too bad, cuz they are some of the best, most original beats ever produced... dark, deep, and dangerous....)
