What are some of your favorite trance tunes? I want to introduce my friend to this type of music, so something along the lines of trance for beginner's...lol. Oh yeah, and stuff that sounds good while on GHB.
Help put together a good trance CD.

kruder and dorfmeister is more acid jazz. but theyre rea good. i don't really know how to classify all diff types of music like trance/ambience/techno etc. I do recommend you download some dj quicksilver, dj aphrodite, talvin singh, state of bengal. theres all sorts of shit thats good to trip to. i dont do any drugs like ghb but im sure if its good to listen to sober its great to listen to when ur on something.

Any particular titles by those DJ's?

I make hard-house/trance.
The stuff isn't hard to classify. 140bpm is the usual speed for techno, hard-house and trance. You can have combinations of any of these genres i.e. techno-trance.
Kruder and Dorf definately aint acid jazz - what are you on?
Listen to Baby Doc - Never a DJ album for great hard-house with a trance tinge..
or Blue Peter and especially the fantastic Israel group - Astral Projection... Astral Projection are excellent.

dance music is created in such a way as to be included in a mix. Just compiling tracks makes a boring listening experience.
Here's the final word: get any of DJ Tiesto's live mixes for the best trance music out there right now.
No flame intended, just IMO as a devotee to dance music for the last 8 years, some of the advice given above points to some rather special types of trance. Sasha is not trance, but progressive house, which can be tougher for a newbie to get into. Oakenfold is a legend, but tends to play a little bit softer trance combined with proggie house.
Trance has a long and varied history, but I am assuming you are referring to the latest incarnation, which still mostly comes out of Holland, Germany, and some quality stuff from England as well.
To quickly convert your friend, seek out the Dutch trance, which is sometimes referred to as 'movie' trance, in that the epic feel is enormous, with quite a bit of melody and strong builds. Tiesto and Ferry Corsten (aka System F on his more famous tracks) are prolly the most famous DJs of the era at the moment. This is the sound Gatecrasher built on. Paul van Dyk from Germany is also exceptional, but has softened a bit lately.
I could go on, but you get the idea.

DJ N3CK and DJ Tiesto...nuff said
impressive
Having been a big part of the underground (used to be underground anyway) dance music scene and, having been a club DJ for the past seven years, I am very impressed with the knowledge that so many of you have. Back in the day only the DJs knew the good artists and tracks. Now it seems that everyone has a handle on what is going on with the music. It is great to see that this music has come so far.......it is just too bad how mainstream it is getting now though. But you can't have your cake and eat it too.
