So I've been a big Trance fan for years. A couple years ago, I moved away from Denver where I saw Markus Schulz, Max Graham, Armin van Buuren, Paul van Dyk, and Tiesto (Saw him 2 hrs before I left Colorado for the first time... Left the club, left Colorado... )

I checked for a scene before I moved. "Northern California" seems to be Sanfrancisco... Chico has few enthusiasts as well, but around Eureka it's all HipHop.

I was wondering if anyone had any idea's or experience for starting a new scene. I've been offered my own radio program whenever I want on a community radio (new non-profit radio that not too many people have even heard of). I've got a couple of my own idea's but I need into a club. In a place that's dominated by hiphop, how do I sell trance? Part will be my own enthusiasm, but I think I'm gonna need more. Any ideas are welcome.


One of my ideas is to mix in a bunch of my favorite 80's remixes that many people have at least heard of. In this way I can relate trance to music people listened to growing up. It seems to have worked for the radio.

Thank you for any of the ideas presented here.
