Actually, I think we're more of a Drum & Bass/Jungle town...I know those are the 2 styles that are most popular in my school...I don't know about the rest of the city though

Right now, I would have to say Progressive because it draws people from both the Trance and House scenes... and I think that will be proven when S&D show up.

But what makes Toronto unique is that we have strong scenes in all types of electronic music - House, Trance, Prog, D&B, Breaks, etc. Any given weekend you can find a party going on with whatever type of electronic music you like.

Progressive ALL THE WAY !!!

Seriously though, Toronto is mainly a Drum N Bass/Jungle town, they have a few or more jungle nights all over town (almost every night) and when they have an event it packs up 10X as much as a progressive or Trance party does, not only that, it's not just Toronto is pretty much the whole GTA plus further west too, so DnB/Jungle would be first, then progressive, then Trance.

^^^^^^^^

agreed.

I would say that Jungle / DnB is the most popular. There's so many flyers around promoting Jungle parties (big or small)...sometimes I wonder where are all these people from?

Do we have an identity like Chicago for house and Amsterdam for Trance? I don't think so. I don't think Toronto's well known for anything let alone electronic music.

I admit I don't follow the D&B scene too closely, but 10X?? what is the biggest D&B party during the year? I thought Bittersweet and Soundclash were two of the bigger D&B parties, and they were held at the docks which is just an average sized venue... the big prog parties would draw a comprable sized crowd to that...

10 years ago i would figure that techno was the big sound in TO. up until the 6 yrs ago I would say "happy hardcore" with all the big international venues. Trance has never been big. Everytime i go to Toronto I hear "oh this place plays trace". But 20 out 1 its really trance. Mostly Euro beats and techno. Nothing wrong with techno but promoter better do a better job for me. 5 yrs ago I would say the "progressive house" was the big work. I personally don't like that work. All of u Teisto fans should realize the meaning. If u have every seen any of his read/seen him talk on the subject. Now I don't now. I would assume Electronic is the gerenal context applied. but I've been out of the T.O. sceen for a # of yrs.

If your talking about the all-age scene ... DnB/Jungle and Breaks for sure. I didn't realize this until lately ... the DnB/Jungle scene has died. 2yrs ago, that scene was insanely massive with alot of parties happening. But, recently barely any DnB/Jungle events are around. It's b/c of the lack of new tracks are produced. If you listen closely to a 99 and 2002 set ... you'll hear pretty the same tracks spun.

Now for the 19+ side
Progressive and Breaks are the picks and Trance is coming back slowly. House will always attract alot of ppl.
