The genre you spin is such a niche market here though that I won't lie...it will be difficult.

I know that it will be difficult, but thats the type of music that I love, and love to spin, and am pretty good at it too.
Too bad there aren't any trance dj competitions.

Throw your own events and do a bang-up job of it. If it goes well, it increases demand. The mere perception that you suddenly have booking power raises your profile in turn. That's just how it works. The same thing applies when you begin to produce.

If there isn't much of a hardstyle following in the city I am sure you could start to strike one up... DJ Klonez from out in London was getting things going there, and he gets overseas gigs for his production work from what I understand. All this talk of schmoozing it up and passing on demos won't help you too much; you have to create demand to get the exposure you want. Essentially, if you are just DJing, don't count on much unless there is some bizarre lack of DJs for your style and correspondingly high demand (which won't last long anyhow). Good luck anyway.

If you throw your own events make sure you put them in the event thread too. You never know how many hard-style listeners that may be surfing this board and not post. I think there's a number of ppl who do post actually that like that style too.

Deltawye do you have a website or profile somewhere?

your TA profile has no links at the moment. since you are getting exposure via this thread it would be great if you can link your TA profile to your site so we can hear samples and more about your work

Also don't forget the TOTA DJ MXES thread.
