I was wondering if there are any big events this summer. I am going to Norway for three months this sumer to visit relatives, and was wondering if there are any big trance events. The last time I was in Norway, they had the Hyperstate. Is that every year??? And is it any good?? Thanks for the help.

yoy
you got the summerparade the 26th of july + you will always have smaller parties @ clubs around oslo every week + weekdays in the summer
but if you want trance, you'll only find psytranceparties
but they rock even more than the tranceparties, so it doesnt matter

is it true that it is more house in scandinavia than trance, or is trance starting to get more popular??

Trance is virtually dead in Norway (apart from a few scattered events here and there),and house rules the nightlife in Oslo and other big cities.In Sweden things are starting to pick up a bit(just surf a little on this forum,you'll find lots events).Denmark has Club Gorgeous,other than that I don't know much.Finland has a lot of quality trance producers,but not too sure about whether this has affected the clubs or not.

The majority in Sweden listens to pop, rock , r´n b and other mainstream shit played on the radio...

My impression is that the people who listens to dance music mostly listen to house/hardhouse... and I also belive that thoose people very often talk shit about trance cause they belive trance is only Ian Van Dahl, Alice DeeJay and such... trance is so much more !

But as Sand Leaper said things are starting to pick up... trance parties are growing in numbers ! And I couldn´t be more happy for that

the majority of houseppl in oslo know what real trance is, as most of them are 20+ and have been through their period of trance
of course the impression they get of today's trance is as you say, but they know that there were a good trance back in the old days, when they were young too, but for now, 95% of that is gone, and replaced with crappy cheezy trance

That sort of attitude towards trance is partly to blame for trance being dead in Oslo.The other part to blame is that most of the trance that has been in Oslo during the last years has been shitty swiss trance,which has damaged trance's reputation in Oslo severely.

no matter which form for trance you brang to oslo, it would have been damaged trance's reputation in oslo even more

trance in norway is dead forever

no mainstream here long live underground

Trance is not mainstream or cheese... It can be but that´s only if you listen to CJ Sone´s sets...
