I thought we had one? Well after visiting a few fellow 6gcers pages, I have noticed my brothers and sisters have some good taste in music. I love my Electronic music, but now it is getting to the point I am a bit on the old side. I just listened to The Horrors - Sheena was a Parasite, and loved it (The trippy video on youtube helped). Not exactly the type of music I prefer, but now I want to hear what else you guys are listening to out there. Even Chris had Tokyo Police Club on his rally video and I didn't even know I liked that song, until I seen the video.

So anyways, I thought we had a music thread of what you are listening to at the moment as a "Favorite Song" that maybe you can share. Some of us DO dig what you're into.

I'm mostly into trance nowadays. Armin van Buuren, DJ Tiësto, Ian van Dahl, Paul van Dyk, Foggy, DJ Encore, Above & Beyond...really too many to name.

But I also enjoy rock, alternative, hip-hop, rap, etc. Anything really besides most forms of classical and jazz.

I can't find the right version (the one I have is a minute longer), but this is one of my favorite songs right now.

you got my myspace page faust. everything's there

http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showto...40&start=40

Is that the thread you were talking about? I'd tell you what I listen to, but so far I have two posts here and I doubt if either of you guys have heard of the stuff I listen to lol. Faust, I know we've talked about this before. 808, I have no idea what you listen to, so I'm still hesitant to post up. Perhaps I'll edit this post later. But just to say... It's anything by SafetySuit. Those guys are amazing. Never heard of them?

It's worth a listen. I normally only recommend them to people I know will like them, but there are a lot of people on this forum so there might even be another SafetySuit fan on here. So far everyone I've had listen to them has ended up liking them very nearly as much as I do.

Let me get another sub in my car, then I'll listen to some electronica for you guys, just so I'm not being completely closed-minded.

im in a portugal. the man mood recently. they just came out with another album the satanic satanist.



good stuff

Give this a listen if you like trance: PPK - Resurrection.

See, that's good stuff, but that's all old news to me. Those Trance Artists/djs you listed. They are good though. I love Above & Beyond, for the remix they did with Ayumi Hamasaki (That song M, is what I think it is called), it's so bad ass.

Death of Auto-Tune by Jay Z

Stuff like that

Yeah that's good stuff, and I mean it. I sat there for a bit listening. How'd you know?! LOL

Oh and the Local Hawaiian jams. Ukulele's, Hula dancing, Surf music, etc.

Yes Daniel, that's the thread. Thanks.

Yeah, I know it's old. But I'm just starting to pick up trance recently, so all my stuff is really from pandora (online music station). I would have had more access to it in Europe, but I really should've gotten into it earlier.

I just created a CD mix of my favorite Guitar Hero/Rock Band 2 songs. Like it.

>


How old are you?

Here people is my latest trance tune.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLLo3VMlSwE...re=channel_page

Its an older Ibiza chillout style. I hope you like. I have 4 tracks on my page so far. Note the user name....

That's pretty good. What did you use to make this? It sounds like some parts were used by Reason (the drum kits and the synths), the strings sound like it might have come from something else.

Well i hate to admit as my PC has been broken for over a year im back to using my PS2!! MTV Music generator 2 but my tunes have got so much better this year too so i will remake them when i get a new PC hopefully at christmas using Ableton live.

That's good Martin, i like it

I'm making my annual pilgrimage to Ibiza in a few weeks, can't wait.

i'll be seeing all the DJ's you mentioned Swiss (except for the crap ones - please don't call Ian van Dahl trance again )

>


Wow really? Ok, I can see that now. The snares do sound a bit distorted, but like in a sense of whatever was giving the output couldn't handle it. It's not bad though. But if you get your PC running, I recommend using Reason, you get such a more cleaner sound.

Cheers Luke.

RS, the quality is a bit lower naturally than a PC but the distortion is down to the actual video. Its pretty crystal on my CDs at home. Its just the overall reverb effects that it suffers mainly. Most of the samples are 44khz.

Oh ok, that makes sense. I never played part 2 of that game, only the first one that came on the playstation 1, and even then, even though they were mostly sample loops and not so much sound manipulation like you would find on even the most basic of programs such as Fruity Loops, I have heard a few tracks that used those loops in pro material.

Is Albeton that good of a program? I had it on a disc and never used it, then I ended up tossing it out without really thinking about it and I wish I had not. I Have old school Acid 3.0 and just Fruity Loops now, because my "not so official" version of Reason failed to reinstall the second time on my old computer after reformatting, and couldn't get my hands on another copy. Even now that I have gotten so much better, I simply ran into a bit of a problem now.... I can't complete a song anymore and my style has changed into something...... odd? LOL Anyways, good luck on future tracks. You don't have a page that displays all your songs? Such as a myspace music profile or anything?


oh yeah, by the way, I have a friend named Sound Asylum or Dj Siio, not sure which name he goes by now and I hardly talk to him online anymore (because I rarely run my messenger), but that guy is really good at trance. Problem is, he doesn't believe in himself. I believe he is on Acid Planet, that is where I met him back in 2002, as we all posted our music on there at one point in time. LOL

Castles In The Sky, you don't like that song? It's amazing. Haven't heard much else from them, honestly...or AnnaGrace, as they're called now.

I miss the European trance scene.

And for any tranceheads out there, check out this guy. Name's DJ Evolve and he spins what he calls make-you-drive-fast core. Basically, hardcore trance.

everything is on my myspace too....i'm basically a metalhead so all that jazz that goes with that. i have a huge list of bands and artists i listen to. mind you though, thats only a fraction of whats on my ipod.... http://www.myspace.com/tallhotnerd i think thats it, and my playlist on my profile is complete so dont just listen to those and judge me, look at the list! oh and i realized its on private so add me then look

See, that's called Hard Trance? The time I come from, that's called Happy Hardcore (but like the newer stuff it turned into, not like the stuff from early 90's). I get a bit of harsh talk from UK people who say, NO! This is UK Trance! But go listen to Happy 2B Hardcore, from chapter 6+, it's the same $#!T! People don't admit to liking it, because it is a bit cheesy, but it sounds good for night driving and the like. ANything, in my opinion, that is 150BPM is some type of Core music, lol. But then you get Hardcore Techno (my favorite was Omar Santana for that genre), and then you get what is called or was called "Gabber" which would be people like Ron D. Core.

*sigh*.... so many sub genres in the electronica side.


Actually going back to the Anabolic Frolic mixes of Happy2BHardcore, I am going to go as far and say about Chapter 3 is when it started sounding like that, and so on. (Those were the only good CDs in that genre you could find in the states, so....)

Okay, I thought it could've been happy hardcore, but wasn't sure. Thanks for the clarification.

And for the record, my all-time favorite song is most likely Alice Deejay's Better Off Alone. Does not get better than that.

oh by the way i found an old music thread from like 2007

How did you find those threads? I searched in off topic and only two pages were visible. So I thought after so long, things got deleted. Now I feel terrible posting this thread.

>

I had that same problem a while back. But I realized that down at the bottom, there's a little search bar that restricts what you see to a certain amount of time. So when I search, I always set that to "forever" instead of "last 30 days."

See, I'm really glad I didn't post up in here because everyone is talking about techno and trance and my music DOES NOT belong in here

Why?

Just wondering from what you posted, why else?
