    Everybody will have thier own definition of old skool as everyone is a different age!

    Thats what makes people DIFFERENT from each other :D

    Yeah, know what you mean! That would go in the 'trance classics' pigeon hole. A very different (and better IMO) thing:D

    surely the definition of what is 'old skool' will change as generations of clubbers get older..

    peeps who are 20/21 now would consider early trance as old school, as they wouldn't be old enough to remember pre 1992 clubbing..jesus even I'm not old enuff to remember pre 1992 clubbing.

    and what was old skool pre 1992...

    my personal oldskool was like '97-'98... i'm only 19 ;)

    stuff like:
    chicane - offshore
    age of love - age of love (jam + spoon remixes)
    binary finary - 1998
    lost tribe - gamemaster
    bt - flaming june <- still quite possibly the most beautiful trance track ever

    although, going back to when i was a bairn...

    a flock of seagulls - i ran, telecommunication, wishing, who's that girl, it's not me talkin, etc. <- fucking amazing

    still love their stuff now. gotta blame and thank my dad, tried to get me into heavy metal but he knew when he let me have a listen to this kinda stuff he knew where it was goin. never knew it'd ever go this far like

    Old skool ?

    Piano House i would have said... the old italian/balearic stuff which crossed over into the early uk harcore / breaks type music of 89-91

    As people have said though, theres no real definition of old skool since its relative to the age of the person asking the question, and the person being asked...

    Old Skool is a genre not a period in time for each individual person....you are suggesting that old skool is old stuff that was around when you were at school. 97-98 was only a few years ago which can hardly be called OLD anything

    Thats something that confuses the fuck out of me about Retro.

    Its a celebration of the last 15 years of house music.....So what the fuck did they play on the first night and for the first year and was it "retro" back then :confused:

    It was called dance music back then, but now that dance music has far too many different inner genres you cant call it dance anymore cos people wont know what your talking about......

    if there was an old skool event advertised, what kind of music would you expect them to play? or if you buy a good old skool cd what would you expect to be on it?

    Paul Van Dyke - For an Angel???:lol:
    or more like
    A Guy called Gerald - Voodoo Ray???
