So yeah, I think both of those tracks fall into a different category than the sort of trance I go in for, but I am still really trying to get a handle on what works for me and what doesn’t.
Another example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwSUNR9s4yo
I really have no idea what to call this genre (like if this is a subgenre of trance) or what. Maybe its like psy-trance or something?
Yeah, probably psytrance, but that’s a newer designation. Like, I would call that drum and bass with some breakbeats, but those names are out of style, lol. Keep listening to BT, you’ll find a lot of stuff like that (I betcha if you asked the person who made that track who influenced him, BT would be on the list)
for example…
A little less dark than the one you posted, but still deliciously psychedelic
I don’t know if this is even consider in the same genre but early-middle delerium is where it’s at
Also putting this out there
Anarchy99, I’d laugh but I’m pretty sure that was my first Quake clan
I never got into trance. I was put off by a flash guy I worked with around 1999 who had an open top Porsche and used to play trance at high volume to try to impress the womenfolk there.
seities’ tracks are most definitely not DNB. They’re are somewhere in the neighbourhood of progressive trance, psytrance and breakbeat, all of which are genres with big overlap. You’d commonly see events/radio shows/etc back in the day labelled “progressive and breaks” because those were in theory distinct genres but in practice there often wasn’t a lot of distinction between them. “Progressive trance” encompassed a fairly wide range of sounds.
How do people feel about this idea?
I’m up for running a small one for 10 players, 5 categories, with submissions by Sunday night PST and a reveal the following weekend, if enough are interested.
Btw on the slim chance you didn’t know, or for others, that track is a remix of a BT track.
A one-time collaboration between BT and Los Angeles trance producer/DJ Taylor that resulted in the classic trance song “Anomoly (Calling Your Name).” Originally released in 1996 on London’s Platipus Records…
heh, i know. I like Flaming June a bit better.
Trentmoller is responsible for my favorite remix. Of a track that’s also one of my favorites.
Personally I prefer the shorter version ones. I think I will definitely do a shorter one when running one as it seems much more doable.
Bottom line, you really have to search to find good edm anymore. And I’m not talking about what they call “EDM” nowadays, I’m talking about the umbrella term that covers a ton of different subgenres that have been pushed aside by the shit produced today.
this is old but still one of my favorite guides. I think I’ll forever remain stuck in the 90s/early 00’s with my tastes.
first time I heard the drum fills in the intro I was like
Well, I have met some BT fans who’d even heard that track but didn’t know it was by BT, but I should’ve known you’re a True And Honest Fan.
Also, lol, I wanted to post but couldn’t remember the name of my favorite BT track but knew it was long, on “If the stars” and had a long title… And then it was sitting next in the playlist after Flaming June.
yeah, that’s his followup album to This Binary Universe.
lmao, I’m kind of obsessed…I think it’s mostly fascination with how he does things. He’s put out some videos documenting his process…his studio is mindblowing. Computers are fucking amazing.
I’d say go for it as if I did do one I’d be delighted if there were smaller / quicker ones going at the same time. I have the inclination to do one, I think, and I’d be happier running one with more contestants, but where you might only get ~two reveals a week for a few weeks. I’d have to write the reveals piecemeal when I have the chance and then dump them - I just don’t really have few hour blocks where I can just be posting, so short time frames or specific days for reveals might be tricky.
If people were happy with that as a plan then I’d put up categories soon-ish, but don’t want to walrus overload, so I can just bide my time.
I think 10 people and 5 categories might even be best as a standard walrus. It doesn’t feel like a “quickie” now that I’m running it.
Yeah now that I’m running a 6 person Walrus and I can tell you the thought of a 17 person Walrus like what King/Riv contended with is horrifying.
This is obv just my suggestion based on my own experience, but what I see is this:
Assuming seities’ schedule as above (submissions by Monday midnight PST, reveals the following weekend), would you prefer…

One of my goals this year is to do an intro course for something like Ableton to better understand all this and see if it’s something I might be able to do as a hobby. Pretty sure going through all the BT stuff is going to be super interesting.
