Hello everybody !!

I would like to know how is establish Trance music in your country?

So, i'll start !
In France there is almost none club which diffuse only Trance music
And there is only one national radio (not small regional radio) which diffuse Trance: ContactFM
But it doesn't diffuse real Trance

So, in France Trance is not implanted it still perceived like "BOOM BOOM" music !!! But I think it's because people don't know Trance music

I wish it will progress in the future! And I think that Benassi Bros songs (like illusion or rumenian which tends to Trance)will bring closer people to Trance music.

Thx for your answers

Bonjour mon ami !

Well, here in the States Trance is still pretty much an underground thing. You'll find most EDM clubs only in the major cities and trance tracks are almost never played on the radio or TV; except for those weekend Midnight to Two shows.
So while not established EDM does have its niche in the states, for which I'm very greatful.

See you USTAs in San Francisco in October!

don't think trance is truly 'established' anywhere - sure here in the uk we get the diluted radio friendly trance played on occasion. But for the real trance you gotta listen to the specialist shows and visit the clubs where you have to pay over the odds for tickets!

true true. I think that this particular genre is not very widely known in my country........ even to find good trance compilations you have to search and search the streets, and when you find it it costs a bomb!! Mostly what you can get here is cheese ( eww) , just think floorfilla, old classic reworks etc.. but popular dance albums like dj tiesto just be and AVB state of trance is available here. Radio wise it's impossible to hear trance... I only know one local radio station that plays dance music 2 hours a day on weekdays and most of the time house music and drum and bass is on only.. not to say it's a bad thing, but trance has very little coverage here, most of the clubs play prog house and R&B stuff, but i do think that that are clubs out there that play trance. tell me what you think

in panama its not established very strongly..
we do have some small lounges over the city that only play EDM, and we do get some really good gigs coming our way from time to time (and all get packed with ppl). For buying the music, well its almost imposible of get good and faily new stuff.

I think that this type of music has always been something undergound. A big probem for EDM to become more 'established' like rock and pop is the way things are handled with the way the music is played (distribution and copyrights for the tracks)..

but i don't really know at what im going with this, my stoned mind has to go to sleepp..

Not at all. I wrote elsewhere, that trance nearly is a swear word Because of such shit like Scooter, Floorfilla, Gigi Dagostino,... Ppl don't differ between them and "trance"

Dunno, I think trance was very well established in this country (which is why most of the 'superclubs' are all trance like Gatecrasher, GodsKitchen etc) but us British are fickle! We like what we are told to like! Trance was hugely popular around 1998-2000 then after that we were told to like funky house so no all the clubs play funky house! Obviously that is to all those people who think they are 'cool' and not to those who actually genuinely like a genre of music not just jumping on the band waggon.

I think trance was dealt two major blows in the UK - progressive trance and that old hard house hoover and horns shit.

Progressive was boring as fuck and killed Cream and the same crowd that like trance also went to hard house nights (as the two genres are closely related). Now we have a more evolved Hard House (UK Hard trance which is basically more tance than hard house) but the damage was done! The masses are now demanding funky house and hip hop! But I'm sure that will pass too...

In Portugal... NO. The only trance that has some acceptation around here is psy. The rest, is left aside. But we have some cheese, sometimes... and HOUSE. And PROG. But I have hope that the situation will return to what it was some years ago, when PvD rocked the dancefloors...

yep agreed. up to 2000/1 every commercial large club had a room playing dance music in its various forms. it was never really really established but u did hear it on the radios in the charts etc but now RnB and HipHop has taken over. i reckon everyone will get bored of it eventually like they did with trance in 2000/1

Here in iceland people think that all "boom boom" music is the same and is called techno. I'm one of few that are trying to build up icelands "real" trance scene. But people look down on our efforts
becouse of the stupidity of drug users here that think that you have to listen to trance when you are poping some pills or or snorking something. The litle group i'm in makes the music do it for them and don't need drugs to listen to trance.

There have been effords to set up trance clubs over here in Reykjavik but those clubs were over-run by drug users and police officers waiting to see if anyone was using drugs. (they just could have looked at most of the people to figure that one out). Anyways it's hard to build something up , we just have to keep at it :]

I live in England and at the moment it is fairly well established, their are other genres taking over but still a trance scene. Some clubs are dedicated to it, others rarely play it but if you really want to go to a trance night you can find one.

As Tiesto said in this months Mixmag:

Lots of DJ's become big there because Britain is the capital of dance music
