ummmmm. Sounds to me like you ARE baseing that statement on what you read on tranceaddict. thats exactly what it says, unless you worded that last comment wrong. but whatever.

and to the comment made by wraith, I really hope you dont see TA as the be all end all when it comes to info on international electronic music scenes, cause it dosnt even come close.

this isnt directed at any one person....im sure some of you are ganna get your panties in a knot over it so just chill.



ok first of all im white i can dance, Most of my good friends are white and all them can dance, in fact almost every white guy i know can dance. My buddy is probably one of the best bboys in vancouver and guess what, hes white. Thats like me saying all arabs are terrorists, its a mindless racist comment.

and you can say one genre has more emotion then another, thats one of the dumbest things i have ever heard. Obviously if you like one genre more its going to envoke more emotion for you. I listen to prog house and to be honest most of the trance you guys listen to dosnt do a goddamn thing for me. Its going to be diffrent for everyone depending on their musical background.


now i got a couple more things to say. You guys over think shit soooooooooooo much. Like i read some of this and its just retarded. wanna know why most clubs have top 40 nights? cause the people going wanna LISTEN TO TOP 40. Who are we to say that they are brainwashed just because they dont listen to trance. I cant stand seeing some of you point your noses down on people just cause the music they listen to, like you are all high and mighty. I have lots of friends that listen to lots of diffrent styles of music and i go to a very wide variety of clubs. Clubs market genre specific nights for a reason, if you dont like the 'brainwashed' top 40 nights then stay the hell away. And if your city dosnt have electronica nights......well i guess your close minded self will have to sit in your room on TA all saturday night being a social outcast cause your a genre snob,

and back to the DJ issue for a second i said it before but im ganna be a bit more harsh now, If you get asked to play at a top 40 club, and you spin trance, WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU TAKE THE GIG??. One thing i have learned in the many years i have been playing is that forcing music on people, no matter what the genre will NEVER WORK. This is the fisrt time i will say how SHOCKED i am to read so many threads about amature trance or house dj's going to a gig and playing hip-hop or top 40 at the last min. This entire summer i held a residency at one of the nicest lounges in the city i live in, the place was VERY expensive so i was playing for very wealthy 40'somthing crowd (very hard crowd to read) Most people loved it, some hated it, not once did i comprimise my style, not once did i play somthing i didnt want to. If at any point the owner would have asked me to play some hip-hop or top 40 or anything i didnt actually play i would have packed up and left. You got to stay true to your shit, otherwise whats the point?



*kinda off topic*

Oh ya and most of you who are all against "grinding" (god knows why) ya its probably cause you've never even done it before, Im sorry but if im on the dance floor and a hottie wants to grind.....no fucking way im saying no, i dont care what kinda music is playing.
haha because having hot girls dry hump you is such a horrible experience LOL......

Ok, when I make a sarcastic crack do I have make light of the sarcasm instead of hoping that people will get the inferred sarcasm by the 2 smiley faces and the freaking rolling eyes smiley?!?!?! C'mon now!!! I guess I'll do my sarcasm like the board's command for bolding etc. Here is the test run on the post in question:

[SARCASM] What's wrong with this?? Isn't TA a representative cross section of the world?? [/SARCASM]

A bit easier to understand but it looks like ass.

ya i figured the sarcasim on your part, but really with a lot of the people on here thats the exact kind of thing they would say seriously.

Yea I know. I just figured I take the piss for a bit. It's scary to see how warped some peoples thoughts are on things. As far as the white people can't dance stereotype that's about as valid as saying all African American people are good at sports. I'm a white guy and am not very skilled in dancing but I know and have seen white guys that can out dance alot of people.

Originally posted by davepiazza I stick to my story ; hopefully one day your come around. P.S. you must live in the burb sorry for that statement but its sooo f@cking true

I live in town, which yes, that is considered a suburb, but I don't live in a big city (if that is what you are implying). Where do you live, might I ask and what relevance does that have to do with anything? Why the fuck do you seem to care?

The hell do you mean by come around? I have nothing to come around to and I have nothing to prove to you. IMO, house owns trance and that's that. You can't change my opinion so please stop with the remarks and lame-ass assumptions.

Haha! I just don't know why certain things are being brought up that have no relevance at all. Furthermore, half of those things being said are ignorant as hell and need some serious integrity and reality to back them up.
