AND THIS. Just this.


And this.

Every time I download anjunabeats, I end up deleting practically the entire album from my iPod. Lol. Nothing every really STICK OUT. It all just blends together.

Worldwide 3 is a good one as well. And I love the remixes from 10 Years of Anjunabeats.

*shocked* Just kidding. Each to their own. I understand Anjunabeats is considered 'commercial' and to 'House influenced' by many Trance fans at this point. But I have very special memories with many Anjunabeats releases. Maor Levi's "Lital (Daniel Kandi Remix)" was one of the first Trance tracks I ever fell in love with. Sunny Lax's "Reborn" and Nitrous Oxide's "Frozen Dreams" was the musical backdrop of me and my boyfriend's first conversations. Nitrous Oxide's "North Pole" is my favorite Trance song. And so on... I think I'm a 'stan' for Anjunabeats like I am for Ayu.

edit: Oops, sorry for going on and on. D:

Yes, I was going to mention Above & Beyond! I was wondering why anyone would know them because they're a tiny British duo, but then I remembered. Duh.

[isthisLOL?]

I don't know if it has been suggested yet, but the Above & Beyond remix of Madonna's "What it feels like for a girl" is incredible! Almost as good as their remix of Ayu's "M".

Above & Beyond tiny? To what? J-Pop fans? ._.

And then I saw this part. Above & Beyond are definitely not a tiny trio. In Europe's EDM scene at least. I wish they where more popular over here in America. Actually, I wish Trance in general was more popular over here... And not this David Guetta **** that masquerades as 'Trance music'. Real Trance like AVB, A&B, and SoundLift. ((Nothing against David but his stuff ain't Trance.))

Gareth Emery's new single "Concrete Angel"



Not bad, but doesn't really sound like anything new from Gareth Emery. Sounds similar to Sanctuary.

Ever since Velfarre shut down a few years ago, I’ve lost touch with the trance genre. I‘ve been keeping up with mostly dance, electro, techno, etc. These songs may be outdated, but always stood out for me.

I’ve always loved Ace Da Brain. He doesn’t have that many tracks as far as I know, but the stuff he has out was powerful to me.


This was the first trance song that got me into the genre. The whole album is actually great filled with DJ’s still putting out stuff to this day, despite the album being released years ago(when I was actually in high school)


This is the only version I like of Force of Gravity


And a rare cut. Magic starts at 4:40

Can't get anymore mainstream than Avicii these days, but this song is just too good. It even made the Superbowl ads. Hilarious music video also.

BUMP. We need to keep the trance thread active, guys!!!

This year, I've been nothing but an Anjuna girl. I buy all of the compilations and am readily looking forward to the next Anjunabeats album along with the next Anjunabeats Worldwide album. Those are just perfection for me! I've been especially interested in Oliver Smith. There isn't a single song he's done that I haven't LOVED! He's been working on new tracks that hopefully we get to hear soon. He's replied to me on Twitter, which was awesome!

Also, some more happy news I feel I must share here: I had an amazing shout out read by Jono on the most recent episode (6) of Above and Beyond's "Group Therapy" weekly trance radio show. I was floored!!!!!! I had tweeted it to them a few days prior to the week's show, as they ask people to do, but didn't actually expect to get chosen, especially in the way I did!!!! It happens at 24:30 (the FIRST shout out!!!), for anyone who listens...
