Anything big going on this summer in Norway, Sweeden or Denmark

I was wondering if there are any big events this summer. I am going to Norway for three months this sumer to visit relatives, and was wondering if there are any big trance events. The last time I was in Norway, they had the Hyperstate. Is that every year??? And is it any good?? Thanks for the help.

yoy
you got the summerparade the 26th of july + you will always have smaller parties @ clubs around oslo every week + weekdays in the summer
but if you want trance, you'll only find psytranceparties
but they rock even more than the tranceparties, so it doesnt matter

is it true that it is more house in scandinavia than trance, or is trance starting to get more popular??

Posted by Sand Leaper on Mar-26-2003 08:48:

Trance is virtually dead in Norway (apart from a few scattered events here and there),and house rules the nightlife in Oslo and other big cities.In Sweden things are starting to pick up a bit(just surf a little on this forum,you'll find lots events).Denmark has Club Gorgeous,other than that I don't know much.Finland has a lot of quality trance producers,but not too sure about whether this has affected the clubs or not.

The majority in Sweden listens to pop, rock , r�n b and other mainstream shit played on the radio...

My impression is that the people who listens to dance music mostly listen to house/hardhouse... and I also belive that thoose people very often talk shit about trance cause they belive trance is only Ian Van Dahl, Alice DeeJay and such... trance is so much more !

But as Sand Leaper said things are starting to pick up... trance parties are growing in numbers ! And I couldn�t be more happy for that

the majority of houseppl in oslo know what real trance is, as most of them are 20+ and have been through their period of trance
of course the impression they get of today's trance is as you say, but they know that there were a good trance back in the old days, when they were young too, but for now, 95% of that is gone, and replaced with crappy cheezy trance

That sort of attitude towards trance is partly to blame for trance being dead in Oslo.The other part to blame is that most of the trance that has been in Oslo during the last years has been shitty swiss trance,which has damaged trance's reputation in Oslo severely.

no matter which form for trance you brang to oslo, it would have been damaged trance's reputation in oslo even more

trance in norway is dead forever

no mainstream here long live underground

Posted by SteveTranz4ever on Mar-27-2003 16:35:

Trance is not mainstream or cheese... It can be but that�s only if you listen to CJ Sone�s sets...

If that's the case,then that says more about the attitude of the ppl in Oslo's nightlife than trance as a genre.

maybe trance lost its linfluence with rap and hip hop coming to Europe and making a huge impact over the last 5 yrs or so??

exactly..

you know Holland is famous for it's Trance reputation..

well we've got three cable music television channels here.
And all of them broadcast R&P and Rap videos continiously..

Trance is becoming a rarity (even metal/rock is seldomly played, exceptions for poppy crap like Avril Lavigne).

where is the world going

Posted by AC. on Mar-27-2003 20:00:

Like you all say Trance got a bad reputation among clubbing people. Its house and its likes that is hot now adays.

But i would say that trance got its bad reputation for not being what it once was. Sure Alice Deejay has given the music a bad name amog people but also producers like Ferry Corsten and DJ Tiesto. The Trance people over here is or at least was used to was much more psycadelic influenced, and not like this pussy soft trance we have today with producers just like Ferry Corsten.

This is just what I got a feeling of anyway. Im too young too experiance this myself. Feel free to correct me if you believe me to be wrong.

Posted by fl0w on Apr-01-2003 15:44:

My personal opinion is that acts like Alice Deejay (hey, Gielen (and Svenson) played a part in that act, don't talk badly about it ) and Ian van Dahl is nothing more than eurodance and mistaken for trance by some people.

Anyways-->
You should wait until the summerparade is taking place in Oslo (I'm not quite sure exactly when but I bet it ain't hard to look up if you try ) I think it's the last week of July.

Anyways there should be enough partypeople and decent music for everybody by then, but if you really badly want to hear some good trance, meet nice people and see some decent DJs you should watch for the [trance.nu summer boat]. That'll be great, I'm definately going this year if nothing unexpected happens.
