Trance is almost non-existant in America other than the occasional trance song making it to top 40..even then it's not really the trance we are accustomed to, its stuff like Sandstorm by Darude. Even his newer stuff that sounds a little more like the stuff we listen to from his last album "Rush" wasn't really big like Sandstorm was. The only people in America that really embrace it are the few like me who have been into it for years, or the clubbers out there who enjoy it. Most of the kids from my high school thought it was all "techno", which annoyed the hell out of me. Even stuff that was clearly not techno, and was downtempo..was "techno". I had made a video in a film class my senior year, and I had images of autumn in it, like leaves and trees etc...and appropriately I put "Autumn Tactics" by Chicane ft. Justine Suissia as the background music, the original more downtempo version not the dancier "Thrillseekers Remix", which was too fast for the slow pace of the film. Anyways people had thought it was "techno", so I can conclude that people in America think anything that has a beat (other than the hip hop beat) or has synths is "techno". That's America for ya... |
That applies pretty much to all countries. Ignorance is bliss, but damn, it pisses me off. |

TORONTO
toront is starting to slowly pick up trance again..
being the next door to americans, its hard to avoid the whole hip hop scene, but i like whats happening to toronto.
new club called republik opened in the heart of downtown streets.. new way of approaching the crowd, fridays are for rockers, and saturdays are for people like us who loves trance. they dont play hip hop there, its awesome
there are few more clubs out there which plays trance but its leaning over towards house more, but i dont mind it, its better than nothing.
TORONTO IS A GOOD PLACE TO PARTY FOR SURE!!
I also heard AUSTRALIA isa good place to party, they have more live bands and stuff but the trance clubs there are just nuts |

hey by the way, what do you think about these in fusses around which claim that trance is listened to by most gays around the world and the clubbers of trance music are mostly gayz?
It sounds very weird!
I`m now going to England for university study so i should know the clubbers...Are there many gayz in trance or techno playing clubs? |

Where i live we have one two superclubs nearby we got tall trees (http://www.clubm.co.uk/) and then theres empire in boro, Both nice clubs have some good nights hosted, Club M has goodgreef once a month
In my town tho the clubs suck, the best one is dead, everyone seems to go to the crap commercial one, The pubs on the other hand are really good, house and trance pubs. So when me and the missus venture out we just go the pubs then come home |

Hmm...
Trance is REALLY spreading.
I crank up the boombox at work. I was surprised to find peop[le who say they love trance. ANd they had similar complaints as me, as to the state of trance in Australia. But everyone seems to be in agreement hat it's really spreading
The biggest problem with trance is, you don't knwo where to get knowledge of what's good. ANd to HEAR tracks often is hard. So u don't know wat to buy. THat's the problem
UNfortunatley, this means a lot of people go to commercial labels for their music. ANd listen to cheese, untnil they get sick of it, adn neveractuallty discove anythign good. This comes from teh Chart culture. THis is popular, froma big label, so it must be good and teh best. ;-) |

BRAZIL:
well, since most brazilians left tranceaddict, I`ll try put my points here...
Like every country, there are the pop scene, playing stuff like hip-hop, dancepopish, and some Global Deejays and Benassy style sounds...
Here in Brazil the scene is major PSY fashion, all u see are parties playing psytrance/goa, and only the old famous producers, I mean, famous, not best producers: skazi, infected mushroom (psypop nowadays, tons of bad vocals for example), talamasca, gms...
These are people that remember that trance newbies that think trance is only tiesto and paul van dyk.
It`s all about BPM, most high bpm, better the psy, people here dont like neither enjoy the quality psytrance or that good progressive psy played by astrix or john 00 fleming, or Cosma (R.I.P.)
If u speak about trance, people understand tracks played by the djs above, sadly: Skazi here is like a god, and he's remixing some brazilian tracks to get more fame...
Second we come with some most underground places playing techno/drumnbass/house.
But thanks God, trance is growing fast here, there's some good djs playing real trance in our country, most them are members of the best trance site/community of Brasil: www.trancebrasil.com.br
We got some good producers too (most them u dont know but are trying get their records signed):
I can remember now of Amazon (Guto Putti) (he's ont he same label of Astura, for example) and Flavio Grifo, try find a set rip of his new track: "Define it", Dj Jack produces too.
The trance scene is focused in Sao Paulo, I can name some djs: Jack, Fabio Stein, Roger Lyra, Guto Putti (Amazon), Nuta...
In the "up" side of country, Flavio Grifo and some friends are playing trance too, in the same places where psytrance is bigger yet...

I dunno if there really is one here in Colorado, USA or not. Denver sometimes gets PvD, Oakie, Ferry Corsten, etc though I haven't ever gone to see any of that. I'm friends with a few people that spin trance but other than that, I don't know. If there is any trance scene around here I haven't seen it.

That's right!
About 3 years ago there was absolutely no trance in Brazil, even if in 1997 the raves were pushing hard trance everywhere. So much that the techno scene had to use the hard-trance-influenced acid techno to emerge.
Time went by, trance was getting bigger and bigger in the raves, it gets in the clubs and then, those commercial craps like Lasgo, Ian Van Dahl appeared. That was the first sign of the trance crisis.
The labels in Brazil started selling those fake pop trances like if they were actually trance. Many people started dissing trance, thinking it got commercial. That happened in the exact time that the real underground trance was kinda "on pause" (productions were getting to repetitive and stuff). It was around 98-99.
So the psyheads took the chance to emerge selling their parties as "real trance" and started getting all the space the true trance had conquered in the past.
Finally, trance died... well, it went in coma, actually. It starting to awake now and we're doing everything we can to make it stand up again.
We achieved some space... but it's not enough yet. We don't have club nights every week. We have to struggle to find a venue each time. Specially in Sao Paulo, the most conservative EDM city I have ever seen in my life! We, DJs, are booked mostly to play outside the city, which is dominated by narrow obsolete minded old guard DJs and promoters that have already forgotten why they're doing it.
In the other hand, we have the big trance names that are coming to play here very often... the problem is that they always play with the house/techno national DJs.
Finally, we know we're doing a very good work... at least djing and producing, since we started beeing supported by other countries. Examples:
Amazon (aka Guto Putti) has signed 2 tracks with the Offshore label, one of which got playlisted by Johan Gielen. He joined some DI.fm radio shows.
DJ Jack has a resident show at puredj.com and is contantly receiving promos from BK.
Nuta has played many times in Switzerland and recently brought DJ Simple and Ton TB to play here in Brazil.
Flavio Grifo is a wicked producer and his track Define It was played tons of times by DI.fm DJs. Plus he has a project with Leon Pieket and Ruben De Rounde. He also joined some DI.fm radio shows.
Marcio Passos is our international contact with all the hard dance world.
Roger Lyra has went on a tour in Holland and played with Marco V.
And finally me (Fabio Stein)... I have unreleased tracks played by Graham Gold, Michael Splint, Giorgio Ponticelli, Grandaddy DJ and Ferry Corsten. I joined 4 DI.fm radio shoes (The World In The Mix II and III, Subtraxx Experience and High Definition Dance Music). And I was recently booked to play at an italian party with Nu NRG's Andrea Ribeca.
This and much more I'm forgetting...
If you guys want to know more about the brazilian trance DJs, u'll find the best ones at www.energybr.net ;)
TRANCE FOREVERRRRRR! :D |

Well over here on the west coast of Canada, trance is starting to pick up slowly. Over the last year, we've seen a lot of big name djs
like Armin, Marco V, Markus Schulz, MIKE, PvD, etc, etc coming to play here.
Just like anywhere else in the world except for Holland and England, trance is non existent on the airwaves. Pop, hip hop, Rnb dominates
the radios. As far as trance in clubs on a regular basis, forget it. |

In France, good scene for Techno, House, Progressive sounds, electro & minimal sounds, but it's difficult for the uplifting sound.
There are the local artists: Laurent Garnier, Agoria, Bob Sinclar, The Youngsters, M83, etc...
&
Sasha, James Holden, Kleinenberg, Warren, Digweed, Nathan Fake, Carl Cox, Jeff Mills, etc... play much here and are very well accomodated by the clubbers.
But AvB, Tiesto, Corsten, etc...their music isn't very appreciated by the majority of the public, and it don't exist much events with them.
But the mentalities evolve with the years, and it's good for the fans of ASOT & ISOS in France...:toothless
Otherwise Rnb, Hip Hop & Pop dominates the scene...:rolleyes: |
