It's kind of hard to get points across correctly when all you have is text to work with. You don't have to explain the genre to me. Believe me, I know just as much as you about what trance is, what it sounds like, and what it's not. I was merely trying to be funny and point out exactly what some of you pointed out that whenever someone hears a great trance tune they say "hey that sounds like the blue song...". And you are right gerrycueto, trance had it's little time in the late 90's with, what, kay-cee, Ayla, and ATB? Yes I heard thrillseekers slip a song in there too. We had hope. We knew trance's potential, but the media never took it farther than that. Lets give them the right material, give it a little push, the industry needs a tutor. Or we can just sit back and see what happens. Are we tranceaddicts, or just your normal music listeners?
Let's get an awareness week, if anything, it's something to do and should be fun to organize!

I agree, not too many people know or are aware what Trance really is. I usually have to educate my colleagues when I'm jamming out during surgery to Ferry, Suzy, Santana, Armin, Tiesto, Doboy, or Ciacomix. These are what I frequently listen to while I'm at work but the list goes on and on. I like the fact that some people are ignorant about it because it gives me the chance to enlighten them. So in that aspect I don't think Trance should ever go mainstream, even though some of it already has like Tiesto's Just Be. I mean almost every track on that album sounds like pop except for Forever Today. I don't think educating people on Trance is so terrible and it might bring more trance DJs to our city if more people demand that sort of thing. That's going to take time though. So yeah for Trance Awareness but why only do it for a week? You should do it every day and at every opportunity. Spread the word!

Another good way to let ppl see the inside of the edm scene, bring them to "It's all Gone Pete Tong"

Originally posted by Vero yeah it does happen once a year, in miami, its called WMC. i think your idea is a very bad one. do you really want to see trance and EDM become pop? I like my scene just where it is: underground. lets leave it there.

yea on that note...


you do have good intentions leeor; I used to be like you- really wanting to 'spread' it (passing out my CD's/Word of mouth/ dragging people out to clubs to see djs etc)... attempting to open their eyes to what I love so much.
But now, seriously- Im so over it, because I tried that- and people still DON'T GET IT. Id still get the same arrogant reactions/responses- You all know the comments that are all one in the same widepsread.
Music is my LIFE- it is my heart and soul. I think if you're in this scene to the extent that most of us are, you're obviously in it for the right reasons. We got into it because we all immediately had an *ear* for the sound- for the music; and thats what drew us in for good. If people don't get it from the beginning, they arent going to. Sorry if thats ignorant, but I think 9 times out of 10 trying to "spread" the music is a lost cause. Underground is the way I like it - And thats how I want it to stay.

Right on !! Before meeting the TA's I would have to go everywhere in my own car because my friends are just Party Poopers.. I would have to deal with their crap when we would go out and when I would take them to Space on thanksgiving they wanted to leave at 3 am! I love the music waaay to much and they just don't understand :-\
