Marc's Public Blog - Clubbing and Trance

Current Music: AVB - ASOT 186 (live from Armin's home)
Current Mood: Good

I've often been missing the live broadcast since it's in the middle of my work day, but I made a point to listen to it today since out of 180 continuous weeks, I only barely caught one on the original radio station (Id &T; ), until it got cancelled there for some weird reason.

Anyway, Armin is now playing out of ETN.FM , from his home, and it is being broadcast over the internet to thousands of listeners worldwide (pretty cool use of technology BTW, 10 years ago people would have looked at you weird if you told them that you'd be able to do that. ETN can broadcast over the internet to 40,000 simultaneous listeners).
It's kind of fun (albeit a bit distracting) to read live comments about the tracks and responses from Armin while he's doing the mix and announcing the tracks.

Random comments from Armin on irc during the mix:

• In my opinion, this genre needs a new name and then we all love it again. Trance is now considered cheesy, just because it's trance. When I made Blue Fear they called it "club music".
  
• Shit man, all this discussion about trance, about progressive, what the hell! To me it's still dancemusic
  
• Let's talk about music, whether you call it trance, progressive or your moms cake.
  
• A state of trance doesn't say the show is about trance, but it puts you in a state of trance. lol
  

thump, thump, thump :)

And don't forget what happens every time you listen to ASOT
