why dont you stop complaining and do it yourself.
Its not that hard to organize an event and atleast you can
pick the artist you wanna hear. |
Obviously you know nothing about throwing a party that involves an Top DJ and that will bring people out to it.
Believe me, I was right there with Hardcore Trancer at Rio, and it was a mission and a half just to bring Jon O'Bir.
Oz and I brought some pretty good acts to Vola as well! Airwave, Sied van Riel, Arnej... and where was everyone??? Everyone bitches about there not being enough trance in this city, and we did our damndest to try and fill a 350 capacity club with those headlines, and we didn't do it. Even with months of preparation and promotions, you'd think that people who really, and I mean REALLY, want some trance would come out to support the nights we tried to put together. I'd say that a majority of the people that came were TA's, and even half the TA's that are dieing for Trance didn't even show up. You can't expect promoters to bring trance dj's if they're aren't pulling the numbers, making any money, or even breaking even!
Everyone starts telling trance promoters to get off their ass and bring in some acts.... but I came to the realization that you need a solid core group of people that are 100% dedicated to bringing trance acts, and trance acts only! Well, GOOD LUCK! Seriously, I gave it a solid effort myself, but it's just not that fucking easy when you've got like 3 people trying to do it with you, even with a great venue like Vola backing you!
I'm always the first person say I will help in any which way I can. Fuck me, I even dj for free! Because I'm extremely passionate about the music, and I would do anything to see trance have it's day in Toronto once again. I have to give it to Oz though, he's the only real person out there who has the aspiration to try and bring trance dj's. And with as much experience as I have at throwing parties in the past, I'm just getting too damn old for this shit now. The onus does not solely rely on the promoters/venue.... if you want to see a particular trance dj in Toronto, it's YOUR job to come out and support trance music when it's here!
