Trance - music of my life

Listening to AVB episode 333, I love that episode of his, or maybe because that was my introduction with his music. He's the best trance DJ in the world, not that I know them all. But yeah a few. The other day someone asked me, what kind of music do you listen to and I said trance and the guy made such a face as if I was an alien. Yeah I listen to trance, what's wrong with that? I don't understand why most people have a perception of it being dope music. There is a reason why its called trance...it takes you to world of your imagination, where you can be anything YOU want to be. Yes it is that toxic. I know a lot of people don't like it, but I have never made faces on others' choice of music.

I think I had a liking for this music since I was a kid, just that I didn't have a name for this genre. Or maybe wasn't exposed to it. Listening to ambient music would rejuvenate me. Music by Ian Ritchie for Globe Trekker attracted me since the show went on air a decade ago and was called Lonely Planet. I remember increasing the volume of the TV every time the show started with its theme song, well it still is the best piece of music and gives me goose bumps every time I listen to it.

Tiesto, Paul Van Dyk, Robbie Rivera are just some of the maestros of this beautiful genre of music. Then of course there is this guy Dimi El, his music is sooooo awesome. And we have our very own Karunesh...beautiful stuff. Listening to all of them makes me so happy. Kudos to these lovely musicians for giving me the music of my life.
