I imagine they would come down more if they got better responses from us when they play here on occasion. They probably enjoy playing more in the places that they are at, and wont come here often until we make things more enjoyable for them. That, and we need people to try and book them instead of the same acts over and over again, so we have to make it profitable for promoters to bring in some1 different.


I would rather see more American trance dj's rise then have more people importing dj's more often, good music can come from us too, then maybe people on the other side of the pond would book them, then we could trade dj's back and fourth and everyone would have more fun.

Originally posted by Mattivi HOW CAN WE GET........ djs like Matt Darey, Misja Helsloot, Talla 2xlc, Guy Ornadel, Johan Gielen, Cor Finjemen, Scot Project, Blank & Jones(they might be coming), Scott Bond, Lange, and others to come over to the states, esp Miami, more often? the only time you ever see these guys is at ultra and every once and awhile they will come to glow and canada, but thats it. now i know they dont have huge followings here like oakie and pvd do, but i would have to think with some good pr people would show up. maybe im wrong, but these guys throw down some serious tunes and it would be nice to see djs like them instead of all the big shots all the time, not that im complaining, but it would be a nice change of pace. just thought i would throw in a different thread, this forum is getting overladen with "hype" and the same redundant threads, give me your thoughts on how it might be possible to get these guys over here more often, i mean, i dont think you have to twist a djs arm to come to sunny miami?! a month ago in orlando some of us ta's saw matt graham(who flew all the way down from toronto) at HOB and it was just a real nice set, heard some DIFFERENT tunes and i walked away real impressed. and i bet if any of the guys i mentioned above came it would be the same way. variety is the spice of life!!

I couldn't agree more, Neil. Nice list you made there. I especially would like to see Lange, Blank & Jones, and Scott Bond. You need to start with talking to venues. People should contact the DJ's and their booking agents as well. You have to remember though that not all of the DJ's are big names so it costs a lot of money to bring them here and if they aren't well known there won't be a huge turn out. A lot of clubs/promoters won't fork out the cash if they don't see a profit. That's why I wish I was rich and owned my own club. I would bring artists here just for the entertainment value...not for the profit.

BTW...That wasn't Max's first time here. He's visited before. It was an impressive set because he's an impressive guy!

I just wanna see more trance in Miami, plain and simple!!!

Right On 2.0 !! And Neil is so on cue with this one. There is SO MUCH amazing muzik we don't here b/c PweeD and Tiëst-ho hog all the limelight here. Tracklists start becoming predictably old, unfortunately.

Matt Darey is on the Ministry of Sound tour that is touring the states in October / November and will be coming through Atlanta for that date.

This tour is coming through Miami as well

Lange @ Loft/Dream D.C. 08-21-04 Perfect venue for them also. Armin was there 4th of July weekend and it was a bit packed......im sure there will be plenty of room for Lange. Come on up.

I am not a DJ whore! Look at you and Neil when it comes to Tiesto. Besides...Max is a great guy! He has an awesome presence...on and off the tables.

some nice responses. i think that alot of these could come over and play at some of the smaller venues and everyone makes out, i dont think mega clubs like space would work, but clubs like crobar or even nerve lounge would do. but hopefully ryan and i will start meeting more people in the club scene and promotion scene down here and maybe make something happen one day. nice to hear matt darey is coming with MOS, ive always been a huge fan, the guy is one FOCK of a producer too some great productions of late, Point Zero, great track and his past productions are suberb also. maybe if arturo and some of you others with GDJB can get markus to hype some of this stuff on the radio, we could get a good turnout, just an idea.
THE PROLIFERATION OF TRANCE MUST HAPPEN!!

CHEERIOZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Matt Darey is an awesome producer. I started following him back in 1998.
