I agree, as long as the music is good, I don't think I care if you sell a zillion copies.

But if you are going to sell the soul of the music in order to be comercial, then fuck that. Souless music sucks. Music comes from our feelings, its a sincere expression of our hearts and the voice of our soul. You can not sell these feelings for pretend to be feelings just because these appeal to more people. Then the music is fake.

You can express any feeling with music, be it anger, love, pain, joy, contemplation, adventure, desire, whatever truly moves you. But it has to be real, a true expression and not a fake substitute devoid of soul and empty like a kiss without love.

So why sell out? There are more than plenty of examples in all music genres of artists making good music which also made lots of money. Perhaps these artists are for real, and they never sold out their music to money, perhaps the money followed them, not the otherway around.

This subject was talked to death. So I'm not gonna add anything but this: there is one commercial Trance Artist that found the formula of how to make good commercial music and that is Juno Reactor. All the rest are money Makers... they use the music as a tool.

um, shut up dude. Flexitones is FAR from what you would call commercial. Flexitones is like a poop straight out of "Ninja Tunes Records" ass .. But yeah, it's how you do it, not what. Juno Reactor is one of the few acts that is a BIG hit in other circles, and why not. Their professional (Ben). He deserves all the cash in the world. All respect to him and his work. Just look at Juno's live show. Infected should learn a thing or two and remove the mic from Duvdev's mouth. I would aslo like to mention Dado, or Deedrah. How many side projects doesnt he have? Look at "Cypher" in example. It goes right in the same box (imo) as Fluke, leftfield ect - Beautiful album released on Twisted Records. Then again, we have Psydrop --> Hypersonic. haha. Well, it's not what you do Dopamin, it's how.
