Sorry for asking such a n00b question...

Dude, Where do you live? Here in Miami, Fl everyone is a house head basically.. Prog and trance are around but not in the masses like other places.....

Welcome aboard Dude..

must go to shitty clubs eh?

Different clubs/nights have a different music policy, so the DJ's wouldn't play it, as that's not what you go to those clubs to hear.

Musically the way the tracks are made, it's not easy for a DJ to like both, due to the elements in the track.

DJ's don't like being told to play something different.....really, who likes being told they are doing a bad job, and would you really want to go to a requests kind of club?

Look around you'll find a trance club out there, somewhere, it takes me an hour to get the clubs that play trance, but shit it's worth it, no more RnB!!!

I don't think there is a grand trance/house divide. In fact, most people I know enjoy both genres. E.g., I would consider Andain - Beautiful Things (G&D Unplugged Mix) progressive house, and people on this board go nuts over the track.

If the DJ was spinning deep house the whole night, an uplifting trance track would be out of place. Think of it from the DJ's prospective: you've put a lot of thought into your set, got the crowd going, and then some guy comes with a track request that does not fit...

On the other hand, there might be places in the set where you can have a transition from house to progressive trance. E.g., Tomaz vs. Filterheadz - Sunshine (Carl Cox Remix) mixes well into Dave Gahan - Dirty Sticky Floors (Junkie XL Dub). So just watch out for the trance tracks that might fit and suggest them to the DJ (without being pushy about it).

If you dont like the music at a club then go to a club that plays the music you do like... geez


But honestly, trance and house just dont mix, and i have to say i am appalled at the trend in the UK where clubs like godskitchen or sundissential have a second room for funky house. Fuck that shit, we dont want those pretentious wankers in our clubs....

but the bottom line is those pretentious wankers represent more dollars to the average club owner because theyre more likely to shell out more money on drinks than drugs fucked clubbers, who buy one water bottle at the start of the night and thats it.... sad fact of life but house music is here to stay :/

you just are going to the wrong clubs buddy.
and also teh DJ's prolly get pissed off because they don't like being told what to play. I hate it when people come up and request songs and what not. its annoying. (but sometimes that person taht comes up has some really good suggestions).
anyway,

also alot of DJ's and people for that matter as you can see in just some of the replys to this post are very pretensious about their music. they like to stick to one genre adn not go anywhere else. they think cuz they like house (be it deep, funky, or progressive) everything else may suck, especially that cheezy trance music like dj sammy and ian van dahl. or maybe they have heard good trance and they think its boring or whatever. i know a couple of peeps that spin house and just hate trance cuz they are ignorant to how to enjoy it.

i think the best DJ's know how to enjoy everytype of music and know how to mix the right elements together in a perfectly eclectical way.
