Could you please recommend some good trance/dance music !

nicensleazy

Looking for some good trance / dance music whilst turbo training. I would be grateful if you could please recommend a few CD's. Perhaps some stuff which isn't main stream! Cheers guys

Does is matter how recent it is? Most of my best trance & dance is about 10 years old!
My favourites albums for turboing are:
Essential Selection - Spring 1999 Disc 2
Trance Nation Anthems Disc 2
BT - Movement in Still Life
DJ Sammy - Heaven
Space Brothers - Shine (Oakenfold remix album) & all my Space Brothers CD singles.

I confess to being stuck in a bit of a musical time warp but I am listening to Lady Gaga a lot on the turbo (Fame & Fame Monster) at the moment.

Bear77

Vitalic - Ok Cowboy. Few years old now but still good on the turbo.
Daft Punk's - Homework. Simlilar.

I listen to lot of Four Tet's stuff and early Autechre and Aphex Twin's Analord Series on the turbo. Bit wierder or more interesting depending on your persepctive.

The essential mix on Radion one can also be very good and is often a surprise. You can download them (all of them) from the (ahem) usual places you would download stuff - if you do

chunkyboy

Are planning to listen to the music on an ipod/mp3 or on a stereo ? Do you use itunes at all ?

Lagavulin

Push - The Legacy (ClubMix + Svenson & Gielen Remix) on repeat. :twisted:

Paul Webster makes some reasonably pounding trance, as does Jon O'Bir.

I'm a bigger fan of Marcel Woods and Marco V, but they're not quite as hard.


If you want it slightly more up-temo you can always try Giuseepe Ottaviani, who's always a good shout, though he has reasonably long breakdowns!

Bhima

Depends on what sort of stuff you're after. If you're not sure, i'd check out a few DJs/Radio Shows as they're quite varied and you usually get a bit of everything.

Tiesto's radio show is pretty in-your-face, great for high-energy intervals and speed work. John Digweed's shows/podcasts are more minimal/melodic, good for climbing and concentration on a turbo/rollers. Armin Van Buuren is another geat DJ, although i've not listened to him in a while.

There's a lot of radio shows/podcasts/gigs available on www.themixingbowl.org

Airwave

These are a few years old but still tops for the turbo.

Euphoria mixed by Red Jerry
Euphoria mixed by Dave Pearce
Euphoria mixed by Moose PF Project
Cream Anthems
Essential mix Sasha/Tong/Cox/Oakenfold
Essential mix 2 Tong/Mackentosh/Emerson/Digweed
Trancefomer cd's 1,2,3

For a mad high intensity workout on turbo
Helterskelter Harcore
Hardcore Adrenalin 1,2,3

Tesco used sell Trance classic albums for £5.All the best trance from the last 10yrs.

Hey! those Euphoria cd's are class. Especially the red jerry one.

I have to say for turbo work the new Prodigy cd invaders must die is superb!

I also listen to some oldskool happy hardcore stuff when I want a fun bouncy session. If i'm after something really hard then I have quite a few tapes from Helter skelter with dj's such as The producer, the music maker etc..... which really give you a fast tempo to work to.

Lenny Dee's also a good one especially his club kinetic live stuff.

I agree. They were pretty good. My favourite was one of the early ones mixed by PF Project (green cover).

Forgot to add Blue Amazon - The Javelin to my earlier list - got to be my favourite dance album (as well as being on my turbo list), and still as great today as it was back then.

If you're on iTunes and have figured out podcasts, then search for "Rotation with DJ Addison" or "Buzz Podcast with Randy Boyer".


Weekly episodes of an hour to 2 hours and they are free. Best trance music I've found anywhere - and I've been listening to this stuff for a good 20 years now - and trance and dance is just about all I listen to outside of the car.


The VERY best podcast for trance used to be something called the Trance Tuesday Podcast - but it's no longer being broadcast, but if you can find old episodes (there are 56 of them) then get them. Yo won't be disappointed.


I think the other ones I mentioned are amongst the top-ranked dance podcasts out there.

Speaking of which - Hugh's playing in Zagreb in March. Do I want to spend 13 hours on a train to go and see him live? :?

This one's gonna be hurting my head for a few days.

Try the Pop Ambient series from Kompact records. Just picked up the latest one yesterday.

Stewie Griffin

Ambient and trance is music to fall asleep to, what you need for training is some proper hardcore drum and bass 8) .

eh

what you need for training is some proper hardcore drum and bass

Try High Contrast or Chase & Status, not the most hardcore out there, but actually have some tunes

Personally I quite like the Stanton Warriors Fabric Live, or the latest Chemcial Brothers album but they aren't trance.

rick_chasey

If you're just looking for energetic music, I'm surprised people have overlooked the KLF.

What time is love, 3am enternal, and last train to transcentral (I like to do the associated arm actions for transcentral).


You can even listen to the original '88 "pure trance" mixes, long before people began coining the term 'trance' though that's certainly more chilled.


Better than burning a million quid anyway.

sheepworryingbhoy

Can't do much better than the Orb's Blue Room album......
