Personallly I think trance is the kinda music you have to learn to love.. It's not like you hear it and then WOah what's this?? With most favorites it's like, the more I hear it, the more I like it..

If it gets you p00per you can call it trance all day

Start with Tiesto - Nayana.

Than give them Paul Oakenfold collections.

Later give them older ASOTs, speacially which got ranked tracks remixed instead of new productions.

Thans show them all the free Trance on net, and by now they are on their own.

I already gave up introducing trance to my friends... they're all metal and rocklovers and they all say the same:

1) It's too soft
2) Tracks are too long
3) It's constantly the same; over and over

People who aren't into trance can't catch the deeper meaning of it... Such people don't want to admit or don't hear that EDM can really contain feelings and evoke emotions.

I couldn't go to several parties before; becase i had the same problem as you... i didn't want to go alone. Only my brother and 1 friend like the genre.

That's what this forum is for... i'm happy i found the Belgian sections, because we share a musical passion there and can meet on parties.
So next time; just join us

what if they don't know about Trance? If you would be a fan of The Matrix and you meet some people haven't seen it, but who are in to sf-movies, would't you convince them to see the trilogy?

they are mainly prog/mcprog, they spin a little bit of mainstream trance, and they dabble in mainstream/commercial house.

i would say they are house djs that spin trancey and proggy stuff, but mostly house.

aaaah thanks for the unnecessary shit talking.

MDMA.

No, seriously!

If you really want to turn them on to trance, just slip them a little ecstacy, wait forty-five minutes, throw on some Oakenfold or van Dyk, and they'll go ape-shit over it, proclaiming it to be the greatest music ever, and proceed to bury themselves in live-sets, raves, clubbing, and even DJing. The only trouble is they may not give a rat's ass a year later, but at least you'll have them bangin' the same shit as you during that time.

Sure, you could try it all the other ways as listed above, but this one is 100% foolproof. I've seen many a goth/metalhead/cowboy converted this way (no, not from my doing).
