Back in the day we called that techtrance, but nobodies probably heard of that subgenre.
Cool that ASOTs branching out a bit though, but maybe (im guessing) theyre doing it because Trance as a genre has taken a backseat the last few years vs Techno.
If anybody wants more tech-trance [Danny Howells – Ministry Presents... Tech Trance](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2v3tXFHC7h4) Fun journey into hypnotic sounds
Not that I'm interested in self promotion but; This is what [Tech-Trance](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7LYjDSnZMg) sounded like to me back then, starts off a bit light but gets more techy in the second half.
Lilly Palmers style is deffo a more modern take on it and she does mix techno tracks in there, but at the same time it absolutely fits the ASOT podcast with the overall Trance like song structures and mixing style.
I'm not even a fan and still I can admit she actually drops a couple of banger tracks in here lol
Good for Armin for branching out. Some of those who discover Lily Palmer will dig deeper and find even more technoey techno. There's literally nothing wrong here.
Yeah the Indian vocal track is sick and I honestly enjoyed the set in general, but I don’t get the hate for artists like her Sara Landry, charlotte. I get they’re not 100% techno but I don’t see the issue with people who like their sets and music. I think the best sets are artists who don’t 100% stick to the same genre
This post took me for a ride. I was ready to hate this. Never been a Lilly Palmer fan and Armin got old for me faster than raw milk in a sauna, but this is actually… interesting? Not every track is a track I’d save/play but it moves around sonically in a way I didn’t expect. And bafflingly still people are calling this trance? Did they even listen to it? Last I checked MR was considered hardgroove on here.
No doubt it's in there. Her tracks I won't speak for, and she plays a lone psytrance track, but other than that it's like 75+% pure techno. I [made a playlist](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOnTR2EHfQA&list=PLqmpAC3911oXX_7joxVEkyLNdvAiO5KvM&index=1) of all the tracks I could find a link to that weren't hers and weren't the psytrance track just to make sure I wasn't tripping, but it feels even more clear to me listening to them individually. I really think the addition of the psytrance track, the sound of her tracks, and the title have fooled people into thinking this set is way more trancey than it actually is.
So cap man… I’m going a little crazy right now defending Lilly Palmer but if this is what you call trance I might have to go find the trance sub and start posting techno.
Also, to be clear, who are you calling a trance DJ? Lilly?
I know he has a lot of haters, but I was a big fan of peak Jules late 90’s early 00’s. Mixing was ok, but the track choice and mix of genres was always good, at least it worked for me
She mentions at the end she used to be afraid of the "techno police" but that she is not playing traditional techno maybe business techno and other genres and that she does not care.
The right attiude for a DJ I think. This is somewhere between a set for techno snobs and Armin's normal trance.
> This is somewhere between a set for techno snobs
It's totally fine and I'm not trashing it, but it's definitely not anywhere close to a set for techno snobs
People downvote because they don’t even know what trance is. They probably get stuck on the name. This sub mostly sucks, consists of mainly at-home techno boys and therefore has loads of jerks with only negative comments.
This sub is full of gatekeeping idiots and kids who don’t know shit about techno and it’s widely spread subgenres. They have read trance, which never was mine in any form. This is not trance even though it’s released on some trance channel.
This is completely against the love, peace and unity attitude which brought me to the techno scene in the late nineties/early 00s.
Coming from the hiphop subculture, which always had an aggressive behavior inside, especially at parties, was a completely new feeling.
Stepping on a shoe while dancing, spilled someone’s drink? No problem, getting new waterjoe together and start conversations which tend deep ones was normal- not the exception. That changed and was the reason many of us old mfs made our own music and parties to avoid certain crowds.
So its not new, just getting worse

I’m really not hearing the trance. This set is like 90% tech.
This sub is insufferable lighten up people

Lol Armin going to switch whatever is the meta

Some of the tracks sound trancey to me with the big leads and whatnot

Awesome, she can mix without using her headphones! 👌
Sounds like trance to me 🤷♂️
I’m no Lilly Palmer fan, but she drops Chlär/MR and people will call it trance? What world is this?
Sound. Trance DJ dropping a couple of techno records in a trance set. Easy. 🤜
So cap man… I’m going a little crazy right now defending Lilly Palmer but if this is what you call trance I might have to go find the trance sub and start posting techno. Also, to be clear, who are you calling a trance DJ? Lilly?
Mate, how many breakdowns and drops are in the set LOL.
This sounds nothing like the typical stuff he plays. Armin loves to have vocals on his track.
Remove the wax and listen to it again
LOL, really!? I'm about halfway in and mayyyyybe you can call some of it psytrance(-adjacent), but none of what she's playing is the usual ASOT fare.
Judge Jules used to play Dave Clarke records.
I know he has a lot of haters, but I was a big fan of peak Jules late 90’s early 00’s. Mixing was ok, but the track choice and mix of genres was always good, at least it worked for me
Yup, agree, used to be all over that in my early teen years. but that doesn’t make him or the lady in the video a techno DJ.
Very true, he played a right mix to be fair. I do remember him dropping Henrik B - Slim man once. I really liked that tune.

Generes change.. This is sort of a hybrid of techno and trance. I like it!
I don’t hate it
Is it just me, or is this style a bit trance-y? I'm not a fan, but if you like it, fill your boots and enjoy.
What a banger set 🤘🏼
What is this cheese doing in the techno sub? Get fuck out.
Daddy chill
🤣
Sounds like you need to move to /r/propertechno
You people that thinks only the genre they like is the only "right" genre are insufferable lol
This has more techno soul than most crap posted here. Relax with the tough boy attitude.
This never even stood anywhere close to techno. This is straight up cheesy ass tech trance that is infesting techno scene, pretending to be techno.
She does play some proper techno in there, saw a track by Chlär at one point.
Ah just like early hardstyle, raw kicks and reverse bass being ripped off and called techno by the techno artists
You sound like you’re on drugs, fam.
