It's about time. American trance/breaks/progressive producers are finally starting to make a name for themselves... I was expecting for their creations to be more commercial, more "MTV" but it's the total opposite. The sound is fresh, innovative, and globally recognized. Gabriel and Dresden are making a huge impact on the scene as we speak, and Greyarea seems to have lots of potential as well. And BT, well he's always been there producing quality... but sometimes you need more than one voice to be heard. Great step forward for USA's EDM scene.

I am a DJ.

2003 is all about Gabriel & Dresden

USA USA USA

Christopher Lawrence is one of the pioneers in the American electronica and trance scene...he's likened to alot of top talent in Europe!
Sandra Collins is an excellent DJ as well...her sets are seamless, and seems to have a really good taste in tracks as well.

i think that trance and the rave scene is just going to get bigger and bigger in the states

Christopher Lawrence is hands down the best American DJ I've ever seen live!!!! His mixing is flawless, and his track selection is superb His sets are full of energy and great to dance to!

What do you put into your live sets that has made you a dancefloor favorite for the past decade?

"I’m a dance floor favorite? Great! I would say the passion that I feel for the music I buy and the honesty with how I play it. I play the records I love not the ones that simply work. I’ve never taken the easy music option (which would make me a lot more money by the way) but chosen to push people a little. I try to draw people in a new direction slightly and expand their taste a little more than other DJ’s." - Lee Burridge

another american producer worth mention...

*George Acosta

Hopefully u'll get some more. The standard on the whole from the states in the past has been awful, but then again i suppose the US is way behind the Uk and europe anyway on the trance scene.

Hopefully as the scene grows so will the standard of the music and DJ's it produces.

Hope you guys can fight through all the government anti-rave bollocks that you seem to be getting.
We had it too in the form of the UK criminal justice act, 1994. This banned outdoor 'raves' with more than 99 people, typically characteristed by 'repetative beat music'. So you could have 99 people in a field if the music was death metal shouting 'fuck, mother-******, eat babies and eat shit and die' etc.

It took until about 1998/1999 for dance culture to be legitimised by the government, when GCSSS, homelands and creamfields all kicked off. Bearing in mind that dance music kicked off in the UK on or around 1988, thats a long time to wait.


EDIT - Why is mother****** automatically edited??????????? And **** isnt?????

Sandra is so E'd up most of the time she doesnt know where she is. her mixing is ok and her song selection is so so. Her parties are only alright cause shes stuck in her own fucking world and doesnt play to the crowd. Plus her haircut looked like it was done by a hobo!

One time she told a club worker to turn the lights up on the decks- they were up all the way, but she was just wearing sunglasses and on too much e to tell the difference(or too embarassed about being so fucked up to say anything). -story from these boards i think.

she just gets props for being a chick, and shes neither hot nor talented. getting a transport cd and playing Rank 1 - Airwave means you deserve popularity i guess. ?|
