All you guys are on the right track here. It's very heartening to read that there's people out there who share my opinions.

Mention was made earlier by Jules of a %95 majority of people who wouldn't recognise a locally produced track or producer if he/she bent them over the bar, and I've been thinking of ways to address that.

Keyword: "Exposure" (ie. on the radio)

We need to somehow expose people to australian trance music as they're driving in their car or during the daily grind. Make tunes that leave an impression so that when they happen to be clubbing in the once in a while they come out, they do come up all wide eyed over the side of the booth asking for the name of the track so they can go and buy it because it is familiar to them!! (I know this because I used to be one many moons ago.. thankfully).

I beleive that once you have the support of your local community in that way, you're name will become a commodity, raise the overall profile of the genre, and create that larger base of people which AJS1 was talking about to draw percentages from.

Let's keep this thread going - some great idea's coming out..

OK but how about someone firstly renames this thread to "What can be done to improve trance in Melbourne".. this is a pretty negative title imo.

The thread named "what's wrong this Trance in Melbourne?" has some great stuff on it and I want to continute the discussion, some people have concerns about the negative conotation of it. Any chance of renaming it? to "How can we inprove trance in Melbourne?" Cheers! -marshall.
