Originally posted by Pasta My cousin is a huge rock person, completely into it and I'm really the one around who listens to trance/(real) house etc etc. So one day I played it in my car, to be specific, Tiesto! He actually admitted that he likes it, BUT only tracks without vocals, he thinks the vocals ruin it all. But that's still a huge step for someone like him who would never listen to it. So now the next thing I'm trying to do is bring him to a club in Toronto with only that music playing. He'll look so out of place but no one really cares at clubs/events like these. Everyone's cool. But to answer your question, I guess just play it for them, if they like it, great! If not, whatever. All I say is to not hate on it, and I'm dead serious when I say it to people, "because it's just as hard as making a rock song". I hate people who say one genre is shit.

Funny you should mention Metal/Rock. Most of the producers I know and a lot of the DJs who play trance have all been into metal and played in bands... some even in the same bands as me.
Musically they are not as different as you might think.

To the original poster.
There isn't really a lot you can do about this. Just be professional and play to the crowd.
The other thing is that there will come a time in the evening when you may be able to drop a trance track or two towards the end. But essentially it sounds like you are playing the wrong venue.
Be a pro and entertain people first off and secondly try and get a gig in a place that suits your tastes more.

Cheers
Nem

me included

Grade 7 drums, and was in a few bands.....I was a total metal nut. I still have a load of rock and metal vinyl too.

and
erm i had long hair ( like down past my shoulders )

Yea i hate how closed minded people are i know heaps of people at school who are like oww yea u listen to techno that sux (to them techno, trance and just about all edm is the same thing) They mostly never have even heard a good trance song, if any. And i dont mind i can listen to any genre of music realy but its anoying how ignorent some people are

Yeah... I have this too.. I try to force my firends into trance... They like EDM but cheesy one... *we have this in our country* this genre is call ASIAN UNDERGROUND! Asian POP remix into Trance.. CLUB TRANCE i might say...

Most of my friends are E/XTC lover... they just love ASIAN UNDERGROUND! But when it comes to Paul Van Dyk, Tiesto, AVB stuffs.. they dont like it... AT ALL!!

So one day, we are having a house party... most r on E... so on the middle of the journey, i play some Uplifting Trance...like Alphazone stuff... they love it! When It comes to Prog, they say it is too slow but high! comes to vocal... they love it too.. they say sound pop.. they can sing along...

So after the effect of the E is gone/ the next morning... they told me Trance is nice.. but on MDMA/E/XTC... When they are sober.. they dont find it interesting *What can i say?*

Cheers!!

Sounds like me. Actually I still have fairly long hair and I still play the drums.

That's a joke in case anyone sees this and gets the wrong idea. Ok, so guns don't kill people, people kill people I hear you say. I beg to differ, the gun pretty obviously helps...!

I spoke to my hip-hop/alternative mates and they said that trance music is for clubs only. I think that is shocking. They said they would prob listen to it under the influence or drunk. any other time they wouldnt listen to it.

aw well. who cares. each to there own at the end of the day. i dont care if they dont like my choice of music. I dont choose it for them I choose it for me..

Also too many people sterotype trance as cheesy pop sh*t. they think ahh trance aka pop dance.. Thats one of the problems.

hahahah that is so funny. I heard that shit ages ago. A mate gave me a cd with this 'club trance' and it's like speedy cheesy trance with a few asian lyrics thrown in, and at the break you hear something like FUUUUUCK YOUUUUUR MAMAAAA in cantonese to bring up the atmosphere. Very fucked up and definately not my cup of tea!

yeah, bad taste :\
