Musical Mayhem! Part one: will.i.am rips off popular trance song

Image
This has me furious! I'm a huge trance fan and our genre gets crapped on all the time and this is just disgusting. Will.i.am released his song Let's go-Feat. Chris Brown and trance fans were furious. Here's the reason. That song is a blatant rip of the song Rebound by Arty and Matt Zo and will.i.am has not been authorized to use that track. What will.i.am did was illegal. For your convienence I have posted both versions. First is the original version by Arty and Matt Zo: The second is the song Let's go-Feat. Chris Brown: As you can tell this is not just a remixing of the melody or a rehash... it's a TOTAL AND COMPLETE RIP of that song! They didn't even have permission to do this. They make millions off this song. The original artist is NOT COMPENSATED for it. will.i.am is pathetic and this shows how  bad he is that he would stoop so low to do this.

Music Quickies: Tunnel Trance Force (Tunnel)

Tunnel Trance Force Series   People say that Tunnel is more consistant, however the albums must be listened as a mix and most of the songs are too short for standalone listening. Also the beats are more repetitive and it doesn't go as epic as FT's songs do.... they are more lower profile trance songs while FT goes more epic with certain songs like Nostra Terra (Can We Turn It Around) (vol 60) Pure Energy 2012 (vol 58) Opera by Matt's Mattara (vol 58) Salva Mea (vol 56), Peaktime Symphony (vol 46) The Black Pearl (vol 46) La Isla Bonita (backslash vs mikkas rmx) (vol 45) and a few others.... This is still an excellent series and it's now joined the Holy Trinity with Future Trance, and Dream Dance, since Trance Voices has taken a hiatus.

Music Quickies: Future Trance (Polystar)

Future Trance   Future Trance and Dream Dance and Trance Voices are the holy trinity of Electronica music. Too bad Trance Voices hasn't had a new release since 2010 :-( I loooove that one. So Tunnel Trance Force has kinda filled in.... Those albums are the biggest and often the best sampling... I do admit FT had a bit of a slump and vol 53, 50, 45 and some of the selections on some of the teens weren't so good..... However that series on a whole is nice... They have picked back up and have done a very good job with the 57,58,59,60 tracks... However on a whole the series is fantastic and it seems to be everyone's starting point into Trance, Hardtrance, and Hands-up. I recommend the following volumes as a whole: 15-42,43,47,52,54,55,56,57,58,59,60 There are a few tracks on the ones I didn't list, however the albums may not be worth purchasing and you would be best off buying the individual tracks. Please note, however, that this series is primarily hardtr...

Music Quickies: Digital Empire (Cold Front)

Digital Empire (Cold Front)   This series is really rare and hard to find. it took me months to get a hold of this, and wow this is very different. This kind of sound that is on these albums is very hard to come by now, Very few artists make this, shy of some indie artists that rarely promote it so nobody notices it. if you like groups such as Virtual Server, Push/M.I.K.E., etc... you will like this a lot. This kind of music is perfect for a rainy or dark day or nighttime city driving. It does sound futuristic and also, very mellow. It has a really nice vibe to it that seems to go great with coffee. The beats can be repetitive, however it's still enjoyable. I wish more new music was made like this, only with higher sound quality, and a little edge to it. I'd love to see more of this on the Future Trance series as well.

Song of the 2nd quarter--->ATB-Running A Wrong Way (with Rea Garvey)

This is the most moving song I've listened to in a Very long time. ATB Never lets me down he is my fav trance DJ and I love him and his music. You must give his other tracks a chance as well.

Song Reviews---> Minnie Riperton-Lovin you

This song is a classic that still shines today. I think people just have a bad association becuase of the BK commercial. I just forget that when I listen to it and it's ok. this version: Lovingu (Reuter und Schleis Remix) by Yakooza is AMAZING!!!! You will have to find it and give it a listen it's an essential trance track that is so awesome it's chilling. It will send chills up and down your spine. best to listen to it in the middle of winter. That is real trance music. Pure emotion and pure beauty! here's a sample:
