Techno, Trance & House - Reborn (38 Viewers)
- Thread starter Trezeguet_FC
- Start date
Ok, 2004 is almost over... time to summarize.
Among many many others, here are my runners-up for this year:
ATB - I don't wanna stop
DJ Sammy - Rise Again
DJ Yanni - Won't foget these days
Time Travellers - Those were the days
Elles - From Dark to Light
Amiel - Lovesong
Armin v Buren & Airwave - Slipstream
#6: Maria Nayler - "Naked and Sacred". Last time I heard from her was "One and One" with Robert Miles. I don't know if she's back with good music, but this is a cool tune in the same "dream house" style.
#5: Talla 2XC - "The Air that I breate". I have a great deal of respect for her. She is one of the few which releases at least one good song every year.
#4: DJ Tiesto - "Just Be". The best hard trance tune I have been exposed to this year. I am not too big of a Tieso fan, but this track is totally awesome, with a classic mix of violen and hard beat. Would've been higher on my list thought if it had some vocals in it. But still, I started to think that I am moving away from classic/hard trance... but only until I heard "Just Be".
#3: Sven Van Krachten - "Let Love decide". This vocal trance tune, released in June, has not been featured in too many compilations this year. And this Sven Krachten guy is totally unknown to me. But the tune is exteremely effective and energizing.
#2: Shapeshifters - "Lola's Theme".
Every year I have at least mainstream dance/house among my favorites. This time around it's the Shapelifters with a totally awesome top 40 tune, released in July. I have actually heard it on the radio here in Albany, which is very surprising. Great rythm and excellent job on this ultimate club song.
#1: Top song of the year goes to Accuface with "Your Destination", released in September. Truely fascinating uplift vocal trance tune. Makes you listen to it over, and over, and over again. Awesome mix of female vocals and great rythm. Reminds me of the great times when trance music in its current shape was slowly coming into existence in 1998 and 1999.

Nice list Elnur, unfourtunately I am not aquinted with a few of your top 6. BTW, DJ Tiesto's Just Be song has got vocals in it. But the album is also called Just Be, so you might like a track on the album and thought it was called just be.

Good song. Not my style, but I like that tune.
Good dance tracks were few this year!
On top of my head:
Trancescape - Producelast
Ron Van Den Beuken - Overdrive
DJ Furax - Big Orgus
Regi feat. Trancelucent - Lonely
The Prodigy - Get Up Get Off
The Prodigy - Girls
Anna Vissi - Eisai
Benassi Brothers - Love Is Gonna Save Us
Benassi Brothers - Hit My Heart
DJ Tiësto - Just Be
DJ Tiësto - Love Comes Again
DJ Kicken - Ain't No Part Like An Alcoholic Party
Junior Jack - Stupidisco
Martin Solveig - Rocking Music
Narcotic Thrust - I Like It
The Freestylers - Push Up
Plummet - Cherish the Day
ATB - Marrakech
Jordan & Baker - Explode
Rune - Calabria
I also nominate that fantastic house tune whose refrain goes something like this:
"Don't ask me what I smoke
I don't know
But I drink to go drunk"
Think of a sensual female voice singing these languorously. I'm not sure but it could be by either Martin Solveig or Antoine Clamaran.

'Lola's Theme' is an awesome track. Im thinking about becoming a DJ
Two things:
1. Here is tranceaddict.com's track of the year voting results site:
http://www.hubmusic.net/
BTW, tranceaddict is one of the biggest trance community sites so have fun looking at those results. I don't agree with some of them (ie Whiteroom as number 1, that's not happening in my books) .
AND
http://www.di.fm/edmguide/edmguide.html
Check that 'guide to electronic music' out. It's humourous and makes fun of some genres, but its good to hear samples of the various styles.

Cool stuff, PM.
Site I often go to is http://eurodancehits.com, which claims to be the oldest resource for european dance music. I do recall visiting it since my junior year in college- 1997.
Good reviews, sound samples and videos.

I mess around on Traktor, but I've yet to buy some decks.
Elnur: I haven't gotten any new compilations/albums recently, but some new stuff is coming out pretty damn soon. I'll let you guys know when a goood album is coming out. In fact, I think Tilt is releasing their artist album pretty soon, within this next month. Should be a good one.

A very intense semester has started, and I have very little time to download stuff and digest it.
Ok ok... I am lazy too...
