Or trance is for children and deep house and techno is for us more mature adults, please just get the hell out with that.

I'm done here, w.e

Originally posted by OrangestO Aurally speaking, I don't see how anyone can still be listening to trance now unless you're just starting to listen to dance music and it's the avenue you're taking (like many people have, myself included). It just sounds watered down now. That's no offense to the people still into it or trying to earn a living by it, but as a listener of music in general I don't see how you can't progress from that sound considering the deeper stuff (and not necessarily darker) that's out there. I don't know, I think of my lifelong listening experience as a progression. I've brought this up before. Started with hip hop, but if you want to stay underneath the electronic umbrella - Trance is Barney & Friends while techno is Pulp Fiction. That's how I view it, anyways. And who knows how much deeper or darker it can get before you find yourself sitting in a cafe with a glass of wine, puffing a cigar, listening to Jazz or some other old timer music. Anyways, I went off topic as I sit here stoned, lol. I meant to say I enjoyed the first half of that mix I'm gonna go have a beer and wake up now.

OrangestO you must have been smoking some shwag to come into my event thread with this techno elitism bullshit. Get the fuck out of here with that nonsense.

Lol. I rest my case.

I gotta admit I still like trance -- the good, dark, banging kind. Disagree that it's any sort of "lesser" sound. The sounds of guys like Airwave, J00F, Lawrence, Neelix, Menno, etc can be totally intoxicating given the right show.

The problem is the lack of such a scene in FL. The only places with a good scene are NYC and Western Europe. Plus theres just not enough quality releases.

I may or not make this show but CL can spin some badass music.

It's easy to say the scene is better in NY or Western Europe, I'm not going to argue that. However, each party can have its own sort of magic. It's the coming together of the right people and the music that makes a great party. If you enjoy artists that play dark and banging sounds, get a group of friends together and come have fun. We are bringing world class talent to your backyard, in an intimate setting. The party will go on and we will have fun with or without you. We would rather it be with you though.

I've always thought the point of forums, as opposed to social media, is the concept of actual human conversation. You're just posting a bunch of one-liners from a social media site, or even worse, live quotes from attendees that night. What makes forums like this interesting to read is actual conversation (positive or negative, funny or serious, etc). Your posts are becoming promotional ads to get people to the show. It's cool if you post the event and the flyer and throw in some good words but at this point it's becoming annoying. IOW, post an actual review if you're posting reviews.

My 2 cents.
