Originally posted by davidvonhauser And that's exactly what was prevalent to my eyes at Pyramid Rock Festival new years eve. The music was horrible, electronic wise I mean, and nobody seemed to care, because they were there for the party, not the music. As long as it had some kind of beat that they could 'dirty dance' to and hopefully 'score with all the chicks' they were in muzza heaven. I guess what I think would be bad about trance becomming more mainstream is that these kind of people would be there ruining it. It needs to have some element of and underground feel otherwise it is just over marketed dribble. The reason I love alternative forms of music so much is most likely because I'm a pretentious prick and it makes me feel more elite :P. Oh and yeah the music too... yeah woo for music.

maybe that's the way the whole popularity thing works. it could be cyclical. If trance goes more underground now, it might start to attract those after an underground night out that isn't full of people there to just get hammered without appreciation for the music. Maybe this lapse is a phase that trance needs in Australia.. if you build it back up with an underground theme (as long as production is there!) then i reckon it'd pick up in popularity again..

thoughts?

I totally agree. I think that's exactly what needs to happen to revitalise a scene. Instead of 'pushing it' on the popular culture who will just think "nah trance is dead house is the cool thing now", or even worse won't even notice that the music is different, it needs to be brought back into an underground context. Although you're also right in that if there isnt any producers, it's just not going to happen.

I have faith though.

Maybe we should all beat the shit out begic and get his lazy arse to release some of those tunes!
