I’m totally sick of the whole massive scene in the Los Angeles area (EDC, TAO, MM, Nocturnal,etc. are mostly ruined thanks to Dave Guetta cross-over effect). So I’m looking to venture out of town with my crew (luckily I know some of the few EDM people with disposable income). If any of you have been to a really good massive/party event and can comment, please advise so I can put together a good list.

Just so you know, musically I like Trance, esp. German and UK with heavy baseline and high energy (not so much the dreamy, slower bpm, overly melodic, with 5 minute breakdown (minus all bass) style of the dutch). That being said, the main focus is to party and have a good time, and I do like other genres such as tech house, electro house, progressive. Any thoughts would be helpful - esp. youtube video examples of the party. Especially interested in things which are cheaper and off the radar screen a bit. Here’s kinda what I was thinking…

WMC/Ultra (Miami) - on the list for pure debauchery. my bad for not going yet.

Sensation White (Eastern Europe ideally) – I’m kinda torn between the original and checking out the eastern european scene which prolly has hotter women and they’re more into harder trance I think.

Trance Energy (Netherlands ) – this seems like a must go since i love trance.

Nature One (Germany) – I know it’s more techno oriented, but I feel like I must go somewhere in Germany

Creamfields (England) – also open to anything else in UK.

Dance Valley (Netherlands) - just looks like crazy fun; don’t know much.

Bal En Blanc (Montreal) – heard it was fun and my friend knows some peeps there. Might be too small, inconsequential to attend? Anyone been?

Full Moon Rave (Ko Pha Ngan, Thailand) – just wanna party on the beach – which one is the best?

Mexico city has some kind of sensation white type event in stadium – anyone been to that or any south American type event?

Steer clear of the Roman empire - they plain just don't like you. Balkans will be a cakewalk, you could that twice, actually. Then there's France, towards Orléans.

Although if I were I would work on spelling my own name, Attila.

bal en blanc is really fun if you have horrible taste in music.

i don't care if the party gets 15000 to 20000 people per year, it still doesn't make me able to listen to offer nissim.

it used to be an awesome party though.

i just read what kind of music you like, you will love bal en blanc.

global gathering -- Stratford UK + lots of other places in eastern europe...

sunrise festival -- Poland

top fest -- Slovakia (not a trance fest but they had lots of good trance acts this year)

exit festival -- Serbia (not much trance but insane festival)

black & blue -- Montreal (!!!!!!!!!!! lol excited)

electric Zoo -- New York

luminosity beach festival -- netherlands

creamfields -- UK

and bal en blanc is a win btw

haha. i love it when ta's get pissy! it's like foodies who get upset if you say you like in and out burger. I didn't really describe which Dj's I like (just genres), so I don't know why you think I'd like offer nissim (definitely not my style). I like your countryman Giuseppe Ottaviani (but not ur more famous countryman Benny Benassi). I like PVD, alex morph, simon patterson, john o'bir, john o'callaghan, tom colontonio, svd, digweed, sasha, etc. generally anything upbeat with heavy bass in terms of a festival type massive event.

If you like trance, last year's Bal en Blanc's headliners were Sander Van Doorn, Ferry Corsten, Markus Schulz and Sied Van Riel.
