    Rank 1's remix was really what made this track happen. It was monstrous and really took it to another level. I had just moved to Amsterdam in 2000 from London and a dutch work colleague took me to a club night called 'Sensations' When this track dropped i was already off my face on Ecstasy and I damn near pissed my pants when that big synth riff dropped.

    It's interesting what he said about not returning to producing trance because he is not 'in the scene anymore'. Not being in the scene would mean that you're not influenced by all the other music being released and would most likely result in something fresh and individual. Everything sounding similar is a problem and individuality is always welcome. Its a shame! I would love to hear what trance he would come up with in 2020!

    • @fkthewhat
      @fkthewhat 4 роки тому +6

      This resonated with me too... in a way he is right - there’s years worth of production techniques that have changed the overall sound and the fastest way to get up to speed would be to know producers who are willing to share them... As for the actual material though - we all seem to agree that it’s all too samey and heavily compartmentalised in to homogenous banality. At worst he would make something forgettable and at best he would “create a new genre” - otherwise known as everyone photocopying his idea to oblivion.

And oh Snap!, that's awful what they did :(. The part with Sensation / Rank 1 remix is really amusing 😆, but the funny thing is that Sensation crowd STILL worships Superstring, exactly as in 2000 - I was at Sensation The Final in 2017 and it was played, say, 4 times in different versions, also in completely orchestral version, composed by Benno of Rank 1. Tho Cygnus X was overally obviously hugely worshiped by the best Dutch trance producers as Rank 1, Ferry, Armin...:)). Amazing interview Twan, keep doing the great work 🙌!!

    It was the theme song for the very first Sensation in the year 2000 in the Amsterdam Arena. It was magic I can tell you! But just a tiny detail: the White theme didn’t come until the 2nd edition. The very first Sensation was a very eclectic night with name ls like Judge Jules, Rank 1, Tiesto, Carl Cox, Sven Vath al playing on the same night (trance, house, techno.. didn’t matter as long as it was good.. it was a build up). It was great. The second edition was also not a Sensation White edition (strictly speaking), but they encouraged everyone to ‘be part of the night, dress in white’.
    The whole separation between Sensation White (strictly trance) and Sensation Black (strictly techno) came with the 3rd edition. That was a pity. We didn’t go anymore after the 2nd edition. An eclectic mix to build up such a huge night delivers far better imo..

      Thank you! And since this is just a hobby for me I don’t have a travel budget for these vlogs / interviews. That means I can only do interviews with people that live close to me (I’m in the south of The Netherlands). The producers I spoke to from abroad were mostly here for gigs or for example the Amsterdam Dance Event etc. So I am dependent on people that do gigs / tour. But as you know there aren’t really any gigs / shows right now unfortunately.... Both Glenn and Deadmau5 are from Canada and they hardly do shows here unfortunately.... I would love to interview them of course, but I have to be realistic too. But.... still lots of great interviews lined up for the next weeks!

I had the pleasure to visit your country last year in April, I used to stay in Assendelft, walking around in Amsterdam, and of course Castel De Haar in Utrecht :). I fell in love with the Netherlands! Keep doing this amazing stuff, my best wishes from México.

    Another great interwiew Twan. I dreamed of becoming a trance producer when trance was at its best between 2000 and 2006. Interwiews like this with Matt about so memorable track makes me think "WOW, that's the guy, that's what it looked behing the scene".

    Matthias is a legendary Trance-pioneer, but I would love to see a interview with Oliver Lieb and Sven Vath as well... for me the true founders of the genre back in the early 90s

      I would love to do 1 or more interviews with Oliver Lieb as well. Both times I went to Frankfurt to record interviews I reached out to him, but so far no luck :( Hopefully I will be able to speak to him in the future. Saving for another trip as we speak and hopefully Frankfurt can be done another time as well. Fingers crossed! Sven never made his own music, so he's not really on my (looooong) interview wish list. He wouldn't really be able to tell anything about the production process etc. Plus, even more important, my sources already told me he doesn't like to talk about his trance past, so .... that interviews won't happen ;-) But I really hope I can sit down with Oliver Lieb one day for 1, 2 or even more interviews, big fan of his work myself as well.
