Anyone listen to hard trance music? I mean *hard*, not that ambiant or happy house crap. Just curious...

    I'm not familiar with the ones you've mentioned except for DJ Tiesto and from what I've heard, his stuff isn't hard enough for me.

    I like the mixes more than the singles "they" do. Yeah, I figured out singles make up a mix. How about Brain (29 + 30(!) which are singles), Gary D., Ministry of Sound (the harder stuff), DJ Irish, ID+T, Ron E. to name a few.

    Right now I'm hooked on Project D (DJ Morgan) and Prophecy of Hardstyle Vol. 6 (Acid Bunny). I just downloaded Death To Disco (DJ Derkin) after hearing it on di.com this weekend. Looks to sound real nice cranked up.

    I drive a company van for work. Thank goodness for MP3 players and the Belkin Tunecast II (+ cigarette lighter power unit)! The radio stations suck so badly here I won't listen to them. The Tunecast II (and I) are great but don't expect them to last too long when using batteries with it.

    I've seen his stuff in the record stores but seeing as how I haven't heard anything by him, I've held off getting anything by him. I've been burned before by the looks of a CD cover and song titles.

    I normally stream (through Shoutcast.com) di.com's hard trance station. When I hear something I like, I try to find it.

    Checked out www.di.fm and it looks like a pretty decent internet radio site. Thanks! Been listening for a couple hours now and it's a lot better than the other stations I've come accross (for trance / techno / club).

    Opps, made a mistake here. That's the site I've been listening to for about two years (not di.com).

    or you can go to www.pandora.com and create your own stations based on artist, song etc. Might find some good, new recommendations there....

    ....yeah -- i agree, people are basically getting sick of the same old rock/hip-hop/r&b bullsh*t..... and there is just this big upsurge from a new style coming out of Europe -- best place i've found it so far is a compilation series called 'euro club hits' on itunes -- or check this link: http://electricfilebox.com/tracks

    ;):D:):rolleyes:
