the Hard Trance topic

Lemmiwinks · March 7, 2012

Well I make this topic out of frustration actually... the thing is that about the same time as the golden days of goatrance, there was a parallel movement called Hard Trance, which had quite a lot of elements in common with goa but was released on different labels so most of them never really got the attention of goatrancers (the elitism of the scene back then didn't really help either), which is a pitty IMO since if you like one style I cannot see how you can dislike the other.

But my problem with these tracks is that they are really hard to find IMO since they are very spread out accross lables I'm not quite familiar with, most of the releases are just one-off projects on obscure vinyl EPs and most of all, AFAIK there is no real dedicated group of fans to this style like there is with oldschool goa. So I thought about making a topic where we can all share our latest finds

these are my finds of the day
