Hope for the German trance scene

Germany is a desert concerning trance music. It is hardly ever played at clubs, parties and at radio stations. Electro and Minimal rule this country while Trance is big in wide parts of the world like Scandinavia, Eastern Europe or Great Britain. As a result there are not many DJs or labels from Germany that release good quality trance tracks. Tracks in my last “shopping bag” cause hope at my side though that something is changing.

While Paul van Dyk (from Berlin) is not really producing any pure trance tracks anymore – his new releases could be seen as pop music in my view, his label Vandit Records improves by releasing more and more decent trance tracks. Newest example is “Who’s in charge” by Polish DJ Adam Kancerski.

Probably one of the best German trance releases in recent times is the Ferrin & Low Remix of “Deep Impact” by Discodyne.

Good examples that show that there might be coming much more good trance tracks from this country? I hope so.

Park pleasures

I am wondering where all these people were during fall or winter? As a regular visitor to the Volkspark Friedrichshain here in Berlin I very often noticed a vast emptiness during the cold weather period. Apparently all these people were just sitting at home in front of the TV or computer while just a few joggers or skaters were consistently doing something for their fitness and enjoyed the park which actually has always something to offer.
