Trance is like speaking Farsi down in south Georgia where I live. Makes one glad for CD players in cars when all you can get is country, pop bullsh-t, or 50's crap on the radio. I mean for real - anyone who grew up in the 50's has got to be in their 70's and can't hear anymore anyhow. You need cowboys boots and a big belt buckle in clubs around here. Sigh...

I got two words fer ya...

Not Houston!

I live less than a 15 minute ride from anything you can name in Houston (repectfully speaking, Houston IS NOT as big as everyone makes it out to be), and the scene here DIED about 3 years ago...Since then, local Government has literally forced the bigest and best clubs to shut down for good...forever I'm talkin, and none open up to take their place. The only way we have much to do on a weekend (and by we I mean those of us in the general populace who listen to EDM and NOT bullshit hip-hop) is for some brave soul to (briefly) open a new club up for about 2 nonths and play it out...then they get shut down on trumped up charges... I have never in my life seen a city so fraught with disorganization, corruption in every level of gov'ment, and hatred for what the media (here) has labled "killer parties".

Hopefully, things are changing tho...we have a local boy who has been digging deep and hard, and has hooked up with Spundae to bring in some talent...He even managed (though I have no idea how) to brng Tiesto last month...

Houston may yet have a scene again.

Well, I live in Long Island... Manhattan is 45-50 miles away and there's a reasonably sized scene in there... we have Arc, a fantastic underground club, and the recently opened Avalon, which I've heard mixed reviews about (but it's bringing a lot of bigger named DJs in). Dance music is slightly popular here but it's mostly what's played on the radio - KTU and Party 105... actually Party 105 plays some house music on occasion and a slight bit of trance, but very rarely... Mostly dance music is Jonathan Peters hard house remixes of Whitney Houston, or cheese like Lasgo, or hard house like Razor N Guido (who are from Suffolk County as well). When I went to school in Buffalo, it was hilarious... NOBODY had ANY idea what Trance was. (then again, when I started it was back in 1999 when Trance first started getting mainstream in Europe). I've met several kids into the music around here, and the NYC metro area has a fairly large representation on these boards. Though the people there through the years still didn't know. To 99.9% of the people around here... it's all just "techno".
