JonStephen Posted April 5 Report Share Posted April 5 The only time I really heard a Greek dj spinning trance at a club it was boarderline goa trance.............but then again each dj is different (most of the time) so who knows if the guy I heard was the exception or not.

rdancer Posted April 5 Report Share Posted April 5 Im not Greek but I used to hit a lot of Greek Cafes in Bayside and Astoria. 1 in particular Byzantios had a live dj ( Bayside ). He was Drapers boy and all but he played ill greek Beatz. Now I dont understand the words, cause I dont speak the language, but the music was pretty good. I also heard some Greek Compilation Tapes, Greek Trance uses a lot more instruments but its definetley worth a listen if your into all types of Electronica.

They were playing amazing TRANCE!!!! They get some really Good DJs there... well disco-house is not all bad, i think (think of bob sinclair and superdiscount compilation, for example) but it can certainly get cheesy + if you originally hate disco you can't like disco-house. another thing: usually poeple who like trance hate house and disco house because it sounds to "mellow"....and one can't argue about tastes, though we do it here all the time...

It sounded like tony draper if he spun cheesy trance as opposed to the fecal hard house he spins whack as fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brickhouse Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 I'll agree that DJ Otzi is horrendous, and I'm not a big fan of trance in general, but I tend to find Greek trance much more tolerable than Turkish trance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brickhouse Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 I think Otzi is Dutch, but he might be German...Anyway, I Otzi as being Turkish, just saying that Turkish trance tends to be bad vocal cheese with the music not even matched up well with the lyrics.
