Not enough trance over at Ruloff's and the Palms? :haha: :haha:
Sorry, never found lots of EDM in Ithaca when I was there. Now if you're into jam bands and hippies... The Grassroots Festival in Trumansburg in July is fun. |

hehe I grew up on cayuga lake...I will be back in a few weeks to visit the rents :) Never had any EDM friends in Ithaca, and still dont.
However, the grassroots fest has a similar atmosphere.....errr.....drugs.......as some of the EDM music festivals hahah.....
sorry bro, I wish I could point you in the direction of a good Ithaca club, but it simply does not exist!! :tongue2 |

| go to grad school up at cornell, so i feel your pain. it's not a scene, but here's what i can gather. there's a "club" called b-level right next to siam and the pizza place. they have a dj booth and all and one club tried throwing a proper club night. have to say, when the dj tried to spin electro the time i went, he was put up against opposition to play hip hop. there are some local dj's and they did try to have a reg thursday night thing at the lost dog cafe downtown. it even had mr c last year. don't know if it's still up and running. |

hehe yea im well aware of the great jamband scene we have in ithaca...it does have a nice feel to it and enjoyable but not for those who have trance in their hearts ;) ...perhaps if we could get an electronic residency going at the nines we could build up the "scene" a little bit. im a sophomore over at IC so there's still time to get things going lol. actually i dont know if any of you heard but there was a decent party last year on a field off 96b i guess...heard they played decent house but it got busted as a "rave"?? on campus my gf and i try and spread the good word of trance but its haaaaaaard....too many discobiscuits fans and the like. ill be back in ithaca in mid-july if anyone wants to hang out and listen or spin some trance hit me up....

Good luck. Went to school in Ithaca for undergrad as well and Minneec and I spent many weekends travelling back to the city just to attend good EDM events. During one semester I actually spent more weekends in NYC than Ithaca lol
I heard there is actually a decent rave scene upstate, but I never pursued it. There was a YahooGroup dedicated to upstate raves but I'm not sure how active it is now. I'd try searching the web for promoter sites. You may also have better luck closer to Syracuse. And another idea is maybe try to organize a smaller EDM event at a frat house, say in the basement while they're throwing a regular party upstairs. If you have friends that spin, it might be easier than finding a "club" with EDM. |

^^ the scene is much bigger in Roch and B-lo....I guess the closer to canada you get, the more EDM.....both cities have...errr...decent clubs and have a bigger scene for raves and such (keep in mind they are small cities).
A LOT of people in Rochester listen to EDM, especially the college students I have noticed. :) |

| It really shouldn't matter where people like trance but but most of the time you have to travel if you have friends in other county'state or even countrys. Since your in New York it shouldn't be so tough. As for me Northern VA is little different since rednecks or idiot thug leaders are so open to different music, narrow minded s. Well good luck meeting someone |

I live over in Rochester and a good amount of the students do listen to EDM. No one plays it at parties though which is kinda stupid imo. I know for sure people would be dancing like crazy if some tracks were played besides all the rap that is on the radio stations. Then all everyone wants to do is just drink and not even get down with someone else. I find it boring when I go to parties like that and everyone is just standing around doing nothing just waiting to play either beer pong or flip cup or something. Sorry just ranting but seriously. I don't think there is a scene over here, but I know for sure that people listen to this music we just have to get it out there!!
And btw...what raves do you know of over here in Rochester? I went to some back when I was like 15 but now I'm 19 and I don't remember anything about the scene or who to contact anymore. |
