You're giving NYC too much credit. The "trance family" in the tri-state area is strong, but musically, I'm starting to really question what that means and if that's a negative thing.
In a just world, guys like Activa, J00F, M.I.K.E., Jon O'Bir, etc., could be able to come to New York and play to at least a packed out 500-person room, but unfortunately not even the 200 person rooms fill up for these guys. These guys get more turnout playing in places like Minneapolis and Texas.
Kids in New York aren't going out once a week like they used to. They stay home for 1-2 months to save money for the next $80 Deadmau5 concert, or the Identity Tour, or don't go out for 4-5 months because they're saving for $400 Electric Zoo. There's no culture of seeing some obscure different DJ this Friday for $10 before midnight, and then going out next week to see another interesting DJ for $10 before midnight. It's a "go big or stay home" mentality from the promoters.
Go figure, my first gig in a Manhattan club in like 2 years is a 1 hour opening set alongside a lineup of Aly & Fila, Myon & Shane 54, and Sied Van Riel. Ten years ago, one of these guys would have been the sole headliner, I might have had my own biweekly residency. But the culture's different, and the implications it has on the way music is played and made are very far-reaching.

A lot of sad truth in this, I suppose. I've always loved the club life... but not the 85$ Deadmau5 club life. I'd much prefer to pay the 10 here and there for a solid DJ ALONE in a club. I really am not even a fan of these big ass nights with 5 fucking DJs on them, because then each DJ gets a 1 and a half or 2 hour set and really don't get a chance to display their style.
We should start a protest. Occupy Pacha?
