An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

Artists submitted their musical creations to the site, where they would be hosted and queued for review. Staff and many other contributors would then assess the quality of this music (usually in their spare time) by rating elements of its composition (e.g. structure, sound quality, musical skill). These ratings would combine to give an overall score. The idea was that this score would give listeners an accurate indication of whether a track was worth downloading or not. In practice, the quality of these reviews varied. They were based largely upon the opinion of an individual, and if this individual had limited knowledge of a particular genre of music, this reduced the credibility of their comments.

abstract
  • Artists submitted their musical creations to the site, where they would be hosted and queued for review. Staff and many other contributors would then assess the quality of this music (usually in their spare time) by rating elements of its composition (e.g. structure, sound quality, musical skill). These ratings would combine to give an overall score. The idea was that this score would give listeners an accurate indication of whether a track was worth downloading or not. In practice, the quality of these reviews varied. They were based largely upon the opinion of an individual, and if this individual had limited knowledge of a particular genre of music, this reduced the credibility of their comments. In an effort to raise the profile of their music genre, and the quality of reviews, a small number of Trax in Space artists founded Drum and Bass Scene (now defunct), with the support of United Trackers. This was one of a number of spin-offs from Trax In Space, including Trance In Space, Samples in Space, and even an online music magazine called Digital Music Revolution (or DMR). Trance in Space as a site was quite self-explanatory, in that it put all the 'trance' labelled genres from Trax In Space under one roof, while Samples in Space was a pay-per-use instrument/sample site, intended to help Trax In Space cover some of the costs of running. Trax In Space was relaunched on 17 June 2007, in beta form. There were many of the old faces putting the new TiS through its beta test. A new 'social network' element was featured on the site, which broke the mould from the standard music sharing sites, such as CTG music and The Mod Archive. However, having been relatively active for several months, the resource did not catch up and by autumn 2008 most of the activity on the site ceased. In the middle of July 2009 Trax In Space went offline for a period of 9 days. When it became available, no explanation of the power down from the administration of the site was offered. On the 27th of July the site became unreachable again.
