Great festivals those, although personally i prefer the ones from my homecity (Pamplona).

The Valencia region was/is one of the main ones regarding electronic dance music and started in the early 90,s with many discos and the emerging techno and trance (if you could call it that then) culture .

Another one which i know better is the Basque Country region, with famous discos like Txitxarro, Itzela, Play, and with the greatest dj´ing names in the industry coming over.
Of course Ibiza and the Balearic islands are a world apart.

I was so close to ibiza and never made it over... thats one of my goals in life is to experience the island.

Great, sure will be nice getting to know you people out in thos trance parties!

With some more time i could write a small guide of what people would here in Spain in the 98-2003 period.

This is the nicest "I'm new to Toronto and/or TA" thread I've seen in ages. I'm not a huge trance fan at all but thought I'd post and say....

Welcome!

Hey and welcome!!
If you're looking for trance parties, it's best to keep your eyes peeled for events at the Guvernment or Vola. January 22nd!!!! Ronski Speed and Stoneface and Terminal, it's going to be serious.
You're in luck, there seems to be a lot of trance bookings coming up already for 2010!
Hope to meet you out!

Originally posted by captain-2 Hi everyone!! I´m new in the City and apart from saying hellow to everyone I wanted to ask for the not so well known places where you can listen to trance music. I´m from Spain and my first contact with Trance music were the Rank-1-Airwave, Verachocha-Carte Blanche, Destination Sunshhine-Balearic Bill, the gouryellas...... At the moment I like stuff like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBYKj___MaQ (amazing from my point of view from 3:32 onwards) and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0Gcm0Vqx2o In the more or less two months i´ve been here i´ve gone to Circa, Guvernment (wasn´t that impressed, i went on a "normal" friday") and the Mod Club, where i really enjoyed the music usptairs. I still haven´t got used to going home that early and ended up in a place called the Comfort Zone but the people there varied greatly to what i had seen in other clubs. So, any reccomedantions for the type of music you can hear on the links or the ones mentioned above?! Hope you all didnt´have problems with the snow and rain!

Bienvenidos a Toronto! La mayoria de musica aqui esta hip hop y top 40. Si quiere trance lo mejor lugar es guvernment. Pero con musica electronica, la mas popular aqui en este momento es house. Las leys aqui son un poquito estupido. no puede beber mas alla de las 2 por la manana. Entonces la mayoria de la gente va a casa temprano. Es la cultura aqui.

suerte!!

To be honest, the fact that no alcohol is served from 2 am onwards was shocking at first, but i´m adapting to the situation. Now I meet people and start having a drink earlier. In Spain a normal night for me would start at 11:30pm, and end at 6:30am more or less. But I am enjoying it here, the city is great, Canadians are EXTREMELY kind and helpful people and there always lots of things to do in Toronto.

Today is a very cold day, but guess what, there were mens boots on offer at The Bay and took advantage So it´s just a matter of adapting to the new environment!

Alcohol is also expensive here!!

For the previous posters, great Spanish

gracias... puede reponde en espanol. Mi espanol no es perfecto pero entiendo mucho!

llegue de Cuba ayer asi que todavia esta en mi mente jajaja

Todo el mundo quiere ser español...
