Thanks Heinz. Maybe it's a Tampa thing that we can bicker with people and still get along.

Sasha has never been just a trance DJ. He spins progressive & deep house, trance, and breaks. He has his own style. I think he spins different styles depending on where he is spinning at. Our town is not a trance town so he probably spun more breaks and house in his set trying to please us. Little did he know. I've seen Sasha four times and each time was different sounding. He had a good vibe at the Amp, but the music was nothing like when I saw him in Jacksonville years back. To this day it is still ranked in my book as one of the baddest sets that I have ever heard. To say that he rocked the house is an understatement.

Always remember that what you hear on a store bought CD is usually not even close to what a DJ sounds like spinning live. Everytime someone hears Paul van Dyk live for the first time they are surprised that his set isn't mellow like his CD's are. My brother was shocked the first time that he heard PvD spin. The 2nd time was when he became a hardcore fan. Try listening to live sets if you don't already.

Originally posted by trancebrat The Amp is defintely NOT a trance club. The Amp is good for their visual show on stage and sometimes they have decent music, but for the most part it is the same thing every weekend. People go there for everything but to hear trance music. That is a breakbeat club with a little bit of trance music here and there. Commercial trance that is...the kind that all of us would recognize. There is no such thing as a trance club here in Tampa. I should know because I would be there. The club scene used to go off...not anymore. There is a small trance scene still around but this town is nothing like what it used to be and it never will be. Too bad this damn town is too afraid to do a full blown trance night at any club. Too bad people here are stuck in a time warp and can't accept the fact that my best friend spins trance and has been for years now. Too bad the club owners and promoters don't have the balls to bring in big names like Tiesto, Ferry, PvD, or Armin. They think they are bringing in big names when they book local/FL breakbeat DJ's (no names mentioned of course) and once in a blue moon bring in a trance DJ from here in FL. Too bad I have to drive to Miami to hear good music and see my favorite international DJ's. Thank God for things like Ultra.

lol... i think this is funny cause i am from the other side of the spectrum. when i was in new york i couldnt find a breaks night if i wanted to. my friend was from central florida and he told me about the breaks scene there. it made me kinda sad we couldnt have that in new york...

I have a friend that moved here from Ft. Lauderdale and he couldn't believe the difference a couple of hours made. Same thing with people that move here or visit here from Miami. Tampa is primarily breaks. Orlando is breaks as well, but I think they try to branch out more. Was NY trance or house?

house, mostly, but you can find techno, dnb, trance, prog, and other stuff pretty easy. just not breaks.
