Why do DJs hate trance so? (pg. 2)
View this Thread in Original format

maybe cuz older ppl (a large amount of the ppl who attend clubs) like dancing to house music over trance. Why do they like house more than trance? beats me, maybe they're too old to grasp trance :haha:

dutch dj's don't care to play trance.. hehe
some time ago i asked johan gielen if he would play as the rush comes in his set and he opened his set with it especially for me :p

house is easier to dance to, which is what clubs are all about in the first place... dancing. in trance theres generally a lot of jumping up and down. over and over. or at least until the next breakdown

Because of Armin van Buuren! :P

But no, I think muzak is somewhat right. Also because progressive is better.

Ha, you should try Detroit...this city has quite a "F**K TRANCE" attitude!

House is easier to dance to, I find myself dancing a lot more when house is playing. I HATE those trance breakdowns/buildups on the dance floor...annoying as hell. Deep and dark prog house is my favorite tho, stuff really gets me dancing!

As far as I can tell for California, most DJs don't have anything against trance. They just think it's too "floofy" for dancefloor play.

But someone is going to try and change that soon.

I still dont get the hatred ppl seem to have for other genres

I love a funky nite out every now and again, variety is the spice of life, and some change makes me appreciate my trance more :)

a club owner/promoter/DJ here had also said he didn't like 'fluffy' trance either. I'm still trying to figure out what he's talking about:conf:

He has a valid question...but the question resides with top flight deejays rather than clubs

2001 in ministry (RIP mag)....dave seaman proceeded to make fun of trance....but my question was...why...it made him who he is.

IMO..prog deejays still play trance...they just don't call it that or admit it. I mean john digweed has age of love - age of love in his box all the time...and it's trance. Sander K plays trance...so does lots of other deejays

I find deejays just bash trance for fun...like timo maas did with his trance record....then again...he says he was stoned...timo plays trance...and still does...just not as evident.

Welcome to the USA.


Home of HOUSE MUSIC and now DnB!!!

I play in Texas, I can useually pull some people but.. House owns Texas :[.

However, I am trying to change this and bring big trance dj's to Texas.


Up for next year (Hopefully): Tiesto, Armin, PvD, Corsten, J00F and Precision!


With me opening? :P

peace
