Darude

Ville Virtanen (born July 17, 1975), better known by his stage name Darude is a tranceproducer and DJ from Eura, Hinnerjoki, Finland. Debuting in 1999, he released in 2000 the smash single "Sandstorm" and subsequent album Before the Storm. Darude is known worldwide for his progressive/uplifting style.

Beginnings

Virtanen started his career as an amateur musician while in high school, making music using his PC's tracker software. As his interest in music production rapidly grew (and his grades correspondingly dropped), he moved on to more serious production techniques.

While at a classmate's party, Virtanen played the song "Rude Boy" (written by Swedish artist Leila K) four times. This earned him the nickname "Rude Boy," which gradually morphed into "Da Rude", which in turn inspired the name "Darude."

Virtanen continued producing music while in technical school, occasionally releasing demos to radio stations beginning in 1997, and offering his music for download on MP3.com. In 1999, he gave a demo for "Sandstorm" to his producer, JS16 (Jaakko Salovaara). Virtanen signed on with JS16's 16 Inch Records label, and shortly thereafter, "Sandstorm" was released as a single.

Early career

"Sandstorm" was a smash hit in Finland, topping the Finnish Single Chart, selling platinum and holding the #1 spot on the Finnish Dance Chart for seventeen consecutive weeks. Word quickly spread about the track, which found global success. After becoming the #3 single in the United Kingdom (Becoming the first record by a Finnish artist to do so), "Sandstorm" eventually sold 2 million units worldwide, and was the world's biggest selling 12-inch record in 2000.

Shortly thereafter, Darude released his debut album, Before the Storm, selling 800,000 copies worldwide, topping the Finnish album charts, and earning him three Finnish Grammy awards. Before the Storm was produced by JS16, and features two of his remixes.

Darude's second single, "Feel the Beat," closely followed the success of Sandstorm, reaching #5 on the UK Singles chart. Subsequent releases, "Out of Control," and "Out of Control (Back for More)" (a remix of the former, featuring vocals by Tammie Marie) failed to match the success of Darude's first two singles.

Darude began a successful world tour in 2001, releasing Before the Storm: Australian Tour Edition in the process. 2002 saw the release of Before the Storm: Special Edition, featuring a collection of remixes of Darude's work. Since the release of Rush, Darude has remained on the road, particularly the United States and Eastern Europe.

In 2003, Darude released his second album, Rush, along with singles "Music" and "Next to You". All three had modest success, with Rush reaching #4 in weekly Finnish album sales and "Next to You" being commonly featured in DJ mixes.

Recent..

Darude is currently ranked #47 on the DJ List as of May 18, 2008 and #116 in the DJ Mag Top 100.

Darude posted his singles Tell Me and My Game from his upcoming new album Label This! on his official MySpace page. Tell Me was released in Finland on April 11, 2007 and My Game on September 19, 2007.

Rock Street Journal

Ten years ago at any indian college fest, if you couldn’t identify Nirvana, U2 or Coldplay being spewed out by the flavour-of-the-month Indian band, chances of being labeled tone-deaf and uncool were quite high. But now, tables are gradually turning with a new genre of Indian rock music coming to the center stage. And whether it’s a romantic ballad or an electronica-infused number, one things stands clear: bands are no longer afraid to experiment with their own sound, rather than playing by the book. And with sustained efforts from magazines such as Rock Street Journal and subsequently platforms like Great Indian Rock (GIR) and pubrock fests, Indian rock music is on the cusp of breaking new ground everyday.

Rock Street Journal or RSJ is a monthly magazine covering the rock scene in India and South Asia. It was started in January 1993 in Allahabad by Amit Saigal and Shena Gamat Saigal after they realized the lack of support system for Indian rock musicians. The magazine has grown in popularity ever since and is now published from Delhi. It organizes the yearly Great Indian Rock Festival (GIR) to promote original music of new and upcoming rock bands in India.

Any insight into rock music in India would be incomplete without bringing Amit Saigal(in photo), who played a pivotal role in recognizing the "original" potential bands carried way back in the 90s, into the picture. The first step in this initiative was through a column in RSJ devoted to reviewing original Indian music.

Features:

• RSJ regularly covers professional and college festival concerts throughout India.
• It also publishes reviews of new music albums, new bands,old bands and everything that falls under the gamut of the Indian and the international rock scene, they also publish reviews of Indian Bands along with extensive reviews and interviews of International bands.
• Its website(RSJ online) has an extensive database of over a thousand rock bands and musicians hailing from the Indian subcontinent, including desi rock bands from elsewhere in the world.
• The website also contains the official forums frquented by thousands of Indian rock fans.Currently boasting of a registerd database of over 40,000

Concerts and Music Festivals:

• RSJ organizes the Great Indian Rock Festival each year showcasing the best among upcoming talent in rock and roll in the Indian subcontinent.
• The first GIR was in 1997 in Kolkata. It is usually held in Delhi in the month of February, in the 11th year of GIR; Norways biggest Black Metal Act Enslaved were headlining.
• In addition, RSJ has organized several other concerts including the Concert for Tibet in 2003 in Dharamsala, and the Brotherhood of Rock in Shillong.
• RSJ has also conceptualised and executed events like the Pubrockfest and RocktoberFest which are now regular events in Delhi, however the PubrockFest went national this year going to 7 cities and with over 30 gigs in all.
• This year the Pubrockfest is bigger going to 20 cities with 60 gigs and also features two international artistes from Australia and Canada respectively. 2007 also saw the inception of a new festival called LiveAlive - Experience Jazz, Blues and Beyond, this festival focused on music like jazz, blues and other experimental music.
• Every year in November, Jazz fans in Delhi get a treat in the form of The Jazz Utsav which is organised by Capital Jazz in association with Rock Street Journal, the Jazz Utsav features some of the biggest acts in Jazz from across the globe.

Partners in rhyme

Technology has given a big impetus to the band’s popularity ratings. Music promotion has found a new ally in the form of downloads and through networking websites like MySpace.com, while popular labels sit in the other corner and cringe. Another fact that has affirmed the emergence of the new rock ‘n’ roll talent in India is the launch of its loudest proponent, Rolling Stone.

In fact, even the mighty Bollywood has begun to acknowledge the alluring power of the growing trend of rock ‘n’ roll. Artistes like Vishal Dadlani of Pentagram, and the trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy have proved that giving rock a pop and jangly spin opens up a world of possibilities, apart from satiating the artistic appetite.

Michelle Lobo, lead vocalist for the band TUG (Toxic Urban Grove), believes that the rise in new talents has also been wrought by the shift of focus from bands to individual artistes. "There’s still a long way to go, but I feel that individual talents have garnered a lot of attention in the last few years. Now and then you see a vocalist sing for more than two bands, which shows that many are keen on experimenting with different sounds."

It is perhaps this open-mindedness that has brought a much-needed respite from the staid, unoriginal and ‘juvenile’ songs of the bygone era.

These aspects have definitely stoked the interests of the listeners and driven them to the umpteen gigs being held every week, although the same can’t be said about the album sales. But more labels are eying promising bands so it won’t be too long before the deal is signed. Till then, there are a lot of gigs to keep your calendars full.

Promising artists:

Karsh Kale:Tabla player trained in classical music; known for working with Anoushka Shankar on Breathing Under Water. Has 6 solo albums to his credit.

Raghu Dixit Project: Folk-based rock musician. His self-titled album was out in March.

Galeej Gurus: Were chosen to perform at the Dubai Desert Rock festival along with bands like Velvet Revolver and Machine Head this year.

Avial:The band from Kerala featuring former Motherane guitarist Rex Vijayen. Their eponymous album has been getting rave reviews.

Shair n Func: Pentagram guitarist Randolph Correia collaborates with New York-based Monica Dogra to create a unique electronic sound.

Hallucinogen

Hallucinogen is the stage name of Simon Posford (born 1971), an electronic musician specializing in Goa trance music from England. His early work is as an engineer on the T.I.P.(Raja Ram) and Dragonfly(Youth) labels. His first album, Twisted, was one of the most widely influential electronic music recordings of its time and helped to define the psychedelic trance genre. The follow-up album, The Lone Deranger, only cemented his influence.

From then on, Posford ventured into numerous collaborations with other artists. His most notable projects involve artists such as Raja Ram (Shpongle), Martin Glover (Celtic Cross) and Prometheus a.k.a. Benji Vaughan (Younger Brother). The vocalists he uses most often in his music are Michele Adamson and Abigail Gorton. Though pooling his talent from a host of worldly influences, many of his fans will attest that he has the "Posford Touch", a certain unmistakable quality to the sound of his music, that is revered by psychedelic and electronic enthusiasts from around the world. He is renowned for his meticulous production skills and the multilayered depth his music has. These skills have led to recent production work outside the genre of Psytrance on the album "Valid Path" by Alan Parsons.

Simon grew up in the village of Chobham, Surrey. While attending the nearby Woodcote school he played keyboards in his first band, "the Electric Light Failure." Later as a teenager he experimented extensively with home recording, first on a 4 track portastudio and later with a Tascam MSR-16 16 track recorder.

He is also the co-founder of Twisted Records with Simon Holtom (previously manager of Youth's Dragonfly label), which is one of the most influential psychedelic trance record labels.

A track by Hallucinogen, called 'Bubble n' Tweak,' is featured in the Gran Turismo 4 video game.

In 2002, In Dub was released, a collection of Ott dub remixes of Hallucinogen tracks.

Associated with T.I.P., Dragonfly, Anubis, Audio

Acts: Chemistry, Axis Mundi, Baba G, Beast, Binah, Celtic Cross, DSP, Dub Trees, Flight, Fly Agaric, Gargoyles, Growlmonizer, Industrial Suicide Tribe, Infernal Machine, Mandala, Metal Sharon, MP3, Mystery Of The Yeti, Nomads Of Dub, North Central Positronics, Psykov, Purple Om, Shpongle, Subkha, Twisted Allstars, Younger Brother

Top 60 classic trance tracks, in order of best to...least best

Trance was a very different kind of music before 1996. I'm not really going to describe it, because it was very freeform: the only connecting factors were a primarily 4/4 beat; a spacey, ethereal, hypnotic atmosphere; long songs; and a slow progression of layers as tracks unfolded.

In truth, it's a far stronger genre than post-'96 trance, the style hadn't templated, artists were still coming in from the world of "art music" (musicians with university degrees, classical artists expanding their repertoire, etc.): it was far more innovative and interesting.
I've assembled a collection here of tracks that perfectly capture this era of trance, all pre-1996 (in other words, the absolute best of pre-1996 trance).

17. The Visions of Shiva - Perfect Day
18. Jam & Spoon - Stella
19. Paragliders - Oasis
20. Exit EEE - Epidemic (Straight from Heaven mix)

I'll add more to this later. Note: Don't expect to hear post-'96 sounding trance here. You won't find it.

ATB

ATB (born André Tanneberger on February 26, 1973 in Freiberg, Saxony, Germany) is a German DJ, musician and producer of electronic dance music. According to the official world DJ rankings, governed by DJ Magazine, ATB is currently ranked #4. Privately, ATB is known to be very good friends with trance producer Sash! and is also known to prefer listening to chill out trance rather than upbeat and vocal trance.

As both songwriter and producer, Andre Tanneberger has been living in two worlds for quite some time. One is the world of electronic music, where he has created extraordinary, melodious club tracks and played countless DJ sets all over the globe. Worldwide fame came courtesy of numerous top ten hits such as "9 PM (Till I Come)", "Don't Stop", "Killer", "Let U Go" and "Ecstasy". The other world is an atmospheric domain - smoother songs to lose yourself in, where you can begin to dream.

On this, his seventh album ATB has succeeded in combining the two worlds, without intermingling them unnecessarily. "Trilogy" provides the electronic and melodious ATB sound blended with a unique rock and pop crossover flavour on the first CD. The second CD, on the other hand, offers the listener 14 super smooth tracks. "Every album should have its own soul and a golden thread leading through all the songs. However, you only really feel the soul if you listen to all the songs together. If you mix up the faster and slower songs, that isn't going to work," explains Andre.

The golden thread he is referring to has been a feature of ATB's career to date. Punctual as ever, he delivered an album for his fans every year. "Seven years", released in 2005, was a mixture of new songs and a retrospective "Best Of" collection. This album formed a link between the past and future of his music. In doing so, ATB was also able to break with old habits. "Bringing a new album out every year wasn't a deliberate plan as such, it simply happened." Last year was the first in a long time in which I did not release a new ATB longplayer. After having played gigs all over the world in 2005 and 2006 I needed a break. I had to come to terms with new influences and jettison the old sounds."

Mission accomplished - the new album presents an array of innovative styles, making use of stronger instrumentation and tools:

"In the field of dance music the ratio or influence of electronic sounds to "handmade" drums, piano and guitars is around 90/10. We wanted to break open the whole thing and go for a 60/40 split, or even 50/50. We placed great emphasis on songwriting and spent a lot of time sitting in the studio playing drums or guitar, looking for new song ideas."

His productions have always been international in character. "I have never thought about territories as such, or composed a song that for a certain region or country. That never worked for me. I think people are the same all over the world. Club music is a worldwide phenomenon.

People in Brazil dance to the same songs as people in Tokyo, London or South Africa. Dance music is a brilliant way to connect people all over the world".

More than ten years of making electronic music and being a DJ have changed Andre, broadening his horizons. "My productions have become more adult. "Nevertheless his heart is still in electronic music, as well as being open to pop music. "You grow up and your taste in music grows with you." Andre thinks the same is equally true for his fans. Having grown older with him, this is exactly why they can still identify with his songs.

The title of the new album shows that ATB has not broken completely with past conventions, but still has an eye on his past. Two songs on earlier albums were named "Trilogy". The third version on the current album is not only the eponymous song, but also the concluding link of the chain. There is also a welcome return for a world famous international artist with whom Andre has collaborated in days gone by - the new song with Heather Nova turned out so well, that it has been chosen as the first single of the new album.

ATB also worked with Jennifer Karr, Jan Loechel, Jeppe Riddervold and Karen Ires on new album tracks. You can sense the creativity that has emerged from a concentrated phase in the studio. The many nights he spent with his team and best friend "Rhudee", designated co-producer, proved truly inspiring. Andre points out: "We had so many songs left that we could have filled another album as well." Having patently enjoyed his time in the studio, Andre is similarly looking forward to presenting the result to his fans. An eight gig Germany tour will be followed by shows in America, Asia, across Europe and Australia.

Infected Mushroom

Infected Mushroom is an Israeli psychedelic trance duo. Formed by Erez Aizen (also known as I.Zen) and Amit Duvdevani (also known as Aka Duvdev) in the city of Haifa, located in north Israel, the duo has garnered a large international fanbase. Infected Mushroom are known for their consistent sonic evolution exemplified by the subsequent albums The Gathering (1999), Classical Mushroom (2000), B.P. Empire (2001), Converting Vegetarians (2003), IM the Supervisor (2004), and Vicious Delicious (2007).
The Band

Erez Aizen was born on September 7, 1980 and has early musical training; he learned to play the organ at age 4 and started studying piano in the Haifa Conservatory at the age of 8. At age 11 he started toying with computerized music, first using Impulse Tracker, later moving to more advanced musical composition software. By the age of 18, Erez had collaborated with DJ Jörg and other notable psytrance artists, and had released 3 albums and a multitude of tracks under different psytrance acts (including Shidapu and Shiva Shidapu).

Amit Duvdevani was born on November 7, 1974 and has a similar musical background. He played the piano for 9 years, starting at the age of 7-initially learning to play with his feet, before taking a turn towards heavy metal and punk rock. Amit played keyboard and wrote most of the material for a local Haifa punk rock band known as Enzyme. Amit went to his first trance party in 1991, a week before being conscripted into the Israeli army (where he was first nicknamed Duvdev). He has more than once described this experience as life changing - from that time onwards all he could think of was trance music. After he finished his mandatory service, Amit spent a year in India (primarily in Goa), and finally decided to make music himself. He collaborated with a member of Shidapu on 4 tracks but never actually released them.

In 1998, Aizen and Duvdevani began playing together. At first they released a few tracks as Shidapu & Duvdev. These tracks were 'happier' and of the simpler side of trance. Later on, they formed the duo Infected Mushroom and started working on their first album. The name Infected Mushroom was chosen to commemorate a disbanded (1989 to 1993) punk rock band of the same name, which Amit had admired.

Guitarists Tom Cunningham and Erez Netz joined in 2004 - Tom plays with Infected Mushroom in the United States, while Erez Netz plays the rest of their gigs. Netz is a famous guitarist from Israel, and he opens their live shows with some electric guitar exhibition. As of 2007, Infected Mushroom has also brought in Brazilian percussionist Rogério Jardim to play drums and percussion during their shows.

In 2007 Infected Mushroom rose to No.9 in the influential DJmag Top 100 DJs poll, where they were also the highest psy-trance DJs. As detailed on UK website HarderFaster.net (a media partner in the awards who exclusively released the results online at midnight), this was the first time the category had been created, reflecting psy-trance's rising popularity around the world and the huge role that pioneers Infected Mushroom have played in this.

Astral projection

The psychedelic trance outfit Astral Projection have gained respect and sales as one of the best in their field despite their base in Israel, far afield from the European dance mainstream. The group evolved from a production partnership involving childhood friends Avi Nissim and Lior Perlmutter, each of whom were DJs in Israel's dance/industrial scene of the late '80s before beginning their production careers in 1989. One year later, "Monster Mania" (recorded as SFX) became a club hit after being released on Belgium's Music Man label. The duo spent time living in New York running their own X-Rave, but returned to Israel by 1994. Nissim and Perlmutter founded another label named Outmosphere, which became Trust in Trance by 1995. Initially, the label was strictly a compilation-oriented venture; also in 1995, the pair issued the first volume in an ongoing series (Trust in Trance: Psychedelic Vibes) that featured many of their own productions -- including the first as Astral Projection. The second in the series did well on the Israeli charts, while the third volume broke them in Europe as well, earning re-release on the British trance label TIP (it appeared as the single-artist album Trust in Trance as Astral Projection). Nissim and Perlmutter soon jettisoned the compilation concept and released their first true Astral Projection album, Dancing Galaxy. It became one of the best-selling trance albums in history after its release in 1997. Another World followed in 1999 and Astral Scene the following year. Nissim and Perlmutter also reissued their early SFX recordings on The Unreleased Tracks 89-94 and released a DJ album, In the Mix.~ John Bush, All Music Guide.

Astral projection Today

Astral Projection make “full-on trance” combined with goa elements today. Fans of goa-trance claim that Astral Projection has lost their distinctive sound in favor of the “full on trance” style. However, their last two tracks “Open Society” and “The Prophecy” have been greeted more enthusiastically by goa-trance fans, causing renewed interest among goa-trance fans in their new album Open Society due in 2008.

Progressive Trance

Progressive trance is a popular sub-genre in trance music and contains elements of house, techno, and ambient music. Trance became more focused on the anthemic qualities and melodies, moving away from arpeggiated analog synth patterns. Acoustic elements and spacey pads became popular with compositions leaned towards incremental changes à la progressive structures. Progressive trance contains distinctive sounds in many tracks, such as unusual basslines or original synthesized sounds, which generally makes it more "catchy". Phrases are usually a power of two number of bars in most typical progressive trance tracks. Phrases usually begin with the introduction of a new or different melody or rhythm.

Compared to trance, the progressive wing is usually deeper and more abstract, featuring a lower average bpm (around 125-135 instead of 130-160) and a recurrent melodic structure. This structure is intuitively described as consisting of three major structural elements: (1) build-up; (2) climax; (3) break-down. These three structural elements are expressed either temporally or in their intensity, if not both. A 'build-up' sequence can sometimes last up to 3 or even 4 minutes. Subtle incremental/decremental acoustic variations (i.e., gradual addition/subtraction of instruments) anticipate the transition to each subsequent structural element of the track. The initial build-up and the final break-down are generally very similar, adding a feel of symmetry to the general structure of the melody. Furthermore, a progressive trance track is usually longer than a regular trance track, ranging in length from 5-6 to even 12-13 minutes.

Although there is a general and increasing tendency to associate progressive trance with progressive house (or vice-versa), virtually rendering these two sub-genres identical, there are however distinctive characteristics apart from the strong similitudes between them: progressive trance inherits from its parent genre (trance) a wider melodic flexibility, while progressive house is usually darker and more minimal.

Some of the most representative names that currently work (almost exclusively) in this sub-genre are Markus Schulz, Gabriel & Dresden, Andy Moor, Armin Van Buuren, Schiller and Paul Oakenfold.

It should be noted that 2006 - 2007 has been marked by fans as a very good years for Progressive Trance music, With numerous tracks appearing in the trance scene that have reached extremely high popularity. As well as the long running Dj, Armin Van Buuren, being crown as DJ Magazine's Worlds No.1# DJ.

Hard Trance

Hard Trance, as the title suggests, blends traditional trance sounds and structure with harder elements more reminiscent of Acid and Techno. The tempo is generally increased to between 145 and 155 and the kick drum and bass is usually a focus for a clubbing audience.It originated in Germany in the early to mid-90's and is one of the earliest forms of trance

Charecterstics

The Hard Trance sound varies from classic trance with its emphasis on harder, often acid sounds. The beat is very strong, and the lead synths or pads are simpler, but still retain their melodic, "trance-like" nature. The "hoover" sound, so named, due to its "vacuum-like" drone, made famous by Human Resource in the early techno classic "Dominator," is used infrequently as of late, giving way to harsher lead melodies through synths or pads. Recently, a difference in production styles between the two stables of hard trance has developed, splitting the genre into what is commonly known as European hard trance, which can contain darker elements, and shares common production techniques with hardstyle such as the familiar off beat bassline and snappy snarerolls, which sets its roots in trance's heyday, with wide, epic synths and rolling, often "bubbling" basslines. Tempo varies from 140 to 145 beats per minute. Jones & Stephenson's track, "The First Rebirth" was one of the first hard trance tracks ever made, even though its bpm speed is actually that of hardcore music.

Ambient Trance

The precursor to Progressive Trance, Ambient Trance is a dreamy, hypnotic and intelligent style of trance, mostly German, that utilizes atmospheric pads, epic melodic progressions and occasionally symphonic arrangements. It is not to be confused with commercial, mainstream trance from artists such as ATB or Darude. At times borrowing elements from the earlier acid movement, such as rezzy 303 leads and minimal percussion, but based more on the spiritual experience that Goa Trance has since trademarked, Ambient Trance is an often-forgotten but extremely influential style that took rave music to a higher and more profound level. Sometimes called "Oldschool Trance" because it has since been left behind for the harder styles popular today.

Ambient Trance is not as much a specific genre as it is a period in the history of dance music's most notorious style. When The Orb and other early dance pioneers were mixing ambient records with current club-oriented sounds, many producers and DJs in the UK and Germany began taking notice. As early as 1990, German musician Harald Bluechel (aka Cosmic Baby) was experimenting with classical piano and synthesizer melodies contrasted against techno rhythms, and in 1993 released one of the most popular trance songs of all time, "Cafe del Mar" (under the pseudonym Energy 52) which is still being remixed today.

Perhaps the most prolific figure in trance, then and now, is Oliver Lieb. Recording under the aliases Paragliders, The Ambush, Spicelab and LSG, Lieb remixed almost every trance producer of note during the 90's and continues to do so today. His albums spanned entire genres, from tribal, ethnic fusion to spacey trance to rough and tough techno. Considered by many to be one of the gods of trance alongside Paul van Dyk, Lieb was a huge reason why the style remained powerful and important in dance cultures around the world.

As with all styles, Ambient Trance eventually morphed into something different and by the mid 90's, it was almost entirely abandoned for harder and more progressive sounds. However, a few producers of that time still remain today producing intelligent trance, among them Humate, Salt Tank, Lieb and Paul van Dyk, albeit in a more modern setting. But most fans of dance music will fondly remember the early and mid-90's as the "good old days" of trance, with some of the most beautiful and profound tracks produced during this time.
