OK, im gonna do a bold thing and stick up for america. I wont argue that America does not have trace in radio, tv, stores, etc whatever. But i couldve sworn i saw a thread a while back with a ton of ppl sayin trance should stay "undeground." Well, in America, its pretty much underground minus the cheeze they play on the radio. I live in DC and i dont think there is a trance station that i know of. If thats a good thing or a bad thing? . . . . .who knows. Im just satisfied with sites like TA, trance.nu, and major DJs hittin up DC more frequently now.
I really dont care if there isnt a trance radio, trance store, trance clothing line blah blah blah in the united states.

All i care is that BT, Sasha, and Armin Van Buuren played here this month, and next month, it will be Johan Gielen and Marco V.

I cant really ask for a better 2 months other than more money and a better sex life.

Cheers,

ps: keep the flaming to a minimum please

Nothing at all here in Ireland.... Eurodance/Cheese is all thats here - in the shops, clubs, radios etc.

I've yet to find ONE person who likes 'proper' trance, or has even heard of it. (Thats not on this forum BTW )

(airbase/the scarab, inzite, ...)

Uh, we have one of the smallest trance scene in the world. Pretty good goa/techno scene for people into that though. Lots of undeground parties. But no major DJ has ever spinned here, ie Tiesto, Armin, van Dyk, Ferry..

Well Tiesto played here back in 2000, but that was like a month before I got into the scene, shame,

I agree, USA is the most shittest country for trance thats why i'll never wanna go there...

Australia is pretty decent with trance.

I´d say the Internet.
But that´s not a country!

just to defend north america...

1. Sasha & John Digweed were residents at Twilo for a very long time. They spent more time in USA than any other country, with the exception of maybe the UK.
2. The World Music Conference in Miami.
3. I hear that Montreal has some crazy-ass raves.
4. Toronto isn't that bad as well, although the crowd needs a definate fix.
5. HMV stores carry a crapload of trance, house, and progressive cd's.
6. I don't know about other clubs because I don't go out of town, but The Guvernment and System Soundbar in Toronto seem to be pulling in some nice names on a monthly basis. AvB is rumoured to be startin a bi-monthly residency here.

Sure, we might not get world-renowned events like Loveparade or Mayday or Innercity...Or get 3-5 world-class DJ's on a weekly basis like Gatecrasher does, but hey, we're not that bad off.

I agree with Busy, stop ragging on the US. If we're not "cool" and "hip" like all those other "banggin" trance countries out there maybe it's because their music sucks ass? Maybe because 98% of the people here know what good music is? Perhaps because they don't like listening to underground shit that sucks my left foot? Leave us alone and let us sit in our house on our sofa's wathching 2pac, Ja Rule, and P Diddy eating our big piece of chicken. And if you don't like living in the US then leave or go sit in a cave with your fingers in your ears. Also on a side note, at least we have real dj's who know how to scratch and really use the tables, not just beatmatch with shitty BPM counters.

P.S. I still like trance

Scratching to trance? I haven't heard of an American DJ do that. With trance and progressive, it's all about flow my friend. Imagine, for one sec, if you went to see PvD and midway through For An Angel he starts scratching. Oh, and as a matter of fact...listen to some of Hybrid's livesets...the Sydney set, more specifically. I dunno about you, but thats some real badass scratching in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th tracks

Secondly, those "shitty" BPM counters are their brains. And beat-matching is only a small part of the job.
