tahle otazka a hlavne odpoved me dost zaujala, ze by pravda o Nemecku, nebo snad aj o trancu?
i:Vibes: Germany has had a minimal Trance scene for a few years now. It never progressed the way it has in Holland or in England. The cheesy cover versions died out in 2003-2004, but still Germany has not recovered. The trance scene is so small. Artists like yourself, Talla 2XLC, Kyau & Albert, Ronski Speed, Martin Roth, Paul van Dyk and Blank & Jones are trying to keep the trance boat afloat, but it is really difficult. Why is Germany having such problems and do you ever see a change happening for the better?
A: As you said, there are just some artists who are doing quality trance music, a lot of artists are working more against each other than together. I also had the idea to collaborate with the one or the other on a common project, but nobody was interested. So I had to go my own way and now I have a lot of plans to work with foreign trance artists who are much more open minded than the Germans. I’m now signed exclusively to Armada Music which is a Dutch label, doing collabs with a lot of International artists, so to be honest, I don’t have the feeling that I’m a part of the German trance scene.
Another problem is that ‚trance‘ does not necessarily equal trance. As long as the big advertised Trance CDs don’t have the real Trance sound on them, it will still be hard to find new fans for our scene, or how do you want to teach the 18 years old kids what trance music is? When they buy a CD they hear commercial stuff and when they go to a club, they will listen to the same music, don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against that commercial or hands up music, but it’s hard to understand why people call it trance. Some weeks ago I played at a big party here in Germany with around 3000 people. 3 floors, trance, house and hardstyle. I was the only DJ on the Trance floor who played Trance. So this is our main problem and also a reason why we are doing our own smaller “Mellomania” parties and events or playing in other countries.
