it did before !

obviously pvd aimed for this to be on the radio. He made radio edits for a reason, and called it "modern pop"

Originally posted by itikia I think I will get flamed for this but what the heck.. Don't you guys wish we had a scene sort of like the one they have in Holland? One where 10,000+ person parties happened once a month? Well to answer my own question, I would have to say yes. The only way that could ever even remotely happen is for some elements of electronica to go mainstream here in Toronto. It is obvious that if any elements of electronica were to ever go mainstream it would be the highly commercialized trance and to be honest I wouldn't mind it that much. Instead of people listening to freestyle they would listen to cheese trance, which is a step in the right direction for the scene period. Remember there are some elements of electronica that would never go mainstream, therefore you guys wouldn't have to worry about the gino invasion. In summary, I think it's good that z103 is playing some trance, it's definitely a healthy sign for the scene. itikia

i'm still praying to see this day in my lifetime... first people laff at z103 for calling, perpetuous dreamer - sound of goodbye, "new shit" last summer, and now when z103 actually gets with the program and plays a song thats ACTUALLY new, they get ragged on again... seems like everything they do is wrong. i say props to z103... they're taking this city a step in the right direction... i hope they start playing darude's new tracks ("music", and "next to you")... they're actually pretty good...

we're not gonna get TRANCE ENERGY here til people accept the fact that if you're going to have a big enough fan base to get that kind of event, there are going to be people who aren't as hardcore as us... do you think everyone in holland is a tranceaddict? its not like i live in holland, but i'm willing to bet that a good percentage of the people at sensation and trance energy are just casual trance listeners...

we can't expect to ever have an entire city of TAs, but as long as trance gets radio exposure, it will increase our fan base, which is never a bad thing...

10,000 ppl is so not interpersonal. You would prefer huge, labour of love style parties over smaller, more "intimate" parties?

Originally posted by DigiNut I really don't get it... you people: 1) hate euro/gino culture 2) wish trance would become more popular 3) obviously listen to z103 semi-regularly 4) freak out and complain on TA when they play a trance track? No offense but get a grip, guys. They're allowed to play trance - does there have to be a formal announcement on TA every time it happens?

Cause every1 is paraanoid about the fact that Ginos will invade our "space". Meaning, that we donl;t want them at our events (altho it is their right to go wherever the fuck they want) and have them on our "turf" lol if I can put it that way. I think most people don't want them getting into our stuff cause they will bring their bad attitudes with them. I dunno that is just a thought. I don't liek having ginos around me cause from my experiences they are very rude and tend to kill my buzz at parties cause they always seem to find the little space Ihave to dance inf ront of me as their "parking lot".

thing is tho. The trance and prog we love will never see its own Radio station becaue the CRTC requires a Canadian based Radio station to have 30 (or 40) percent Cannuck contend. So. Unless a bunch of new canadian Trance artist arise out of nowhere to fill that gap. Until then, we can't do nothing.

yo I don't understand why you are complaining about hearing Trance on the radio. We all know that we have like 0 trance tracks on the radio in t.o. I hardly ever listen to radio for that exact reason! I Tune in to 100.7 or 89.5 sometimes late at nights and yes z103.5 sometimes. Anyways all the radio stations in t. play Hip-Hop & R&B now. thats bullshit. I wish there was a trance/techno only station! yeeaaaa... dat would be sik...

wtf?

There is nothing to discuss here. And stop throwing everything on the Ginos, they're the same people as you are.

The problem is that paraniod TAs want the scene to remain "underground". Why? Probably because if its underground its "cool". Cool because its different, unique, not mainstream. Also gives some people a personality, which originally they probably did not have.

Since when did trance become the music for a select few? Out of all people, we know the true potential of trance, and we know it will affect anyone listening to it.

what's with the gino hating anyways??? just cause a select few of them are jerks, doesn't make them all bad... there are jerks from every race or whatever division of society... generalizing like that is just plain stupid...

next thing you know, we'll be hating all asians just cause a few of them are on 20 different drugs, getting nekkid in the club and staring at little girls... gimme a break..

why don't we just tell all the black people to stick with hip hop and not listen to trance while we're at it? a good trance scene will never work with this kind of discrimination...

i'm not suggesting we lobby for an all trance radio station, (though it would be nice, =P)... i'm just saying that z103 should be applauded for its efforts to show people there's more music out there besides the stuff on MUCH, or whatever top 40 list is out there... we should be supportive... maybe do our part in helping the scene out... educate your friends, =P.
