You need to learn to read. I said UNLESS you live in Philly, you're ed. As in, if you live in Pittsburgh, State College, Harrisburg, Erie, etc, you're screwed if you expect an EDM scene.
Philly was the exception, which you'd have understood if you actually read and processed my comment. |
I'm not too sure about the rest of PA, but you are right about Harrisburg. I live just across the river from the city and there is absolutely no following for dance music plain and simple. Not even a small core of people. The very few clubs around don't cater in any way to EDM, so it's pretty much useless to expect it played as people really have no clue what dance music is period.
If given the proper push though, EDM very well might do ok in Harrisburg since it would be fresh and the city desperately needs something to keep things interesting. Although Mayor Reed would probably piss and moan about that, so I don't know how probable it would be to begin with. But damn, if Harrisburg isn't a rather lifeless and boring city. It's all about art/drama and politics here. |

Look heres how it is:
outside of major cities = .0000000001% of the population
inside of major cities = 1% of the population
Nobody likes EDM here... |
This is your answer, and i'd even go as far to say that 1% is pushing it. |

California is pretty much the only place you'll find trance in the states, and even so, it's pretty limited here: around Los Angeles and, to a much lesser extent, San Francisco. I don't know how Christopher Lawrence has kept the West Coast alive all these years, but thank god he has. Without him, there would be no serious center of trance in the States whatsoever.
Don't kid yourselves about Miami, or any of the urban centers of the eastern seaboard; they're all ruled by Drum n Bass, Breaks, and House. Well, except Miami, which also boasts McProg and laughably self-important "Ultra Trance Party!" toss from the likes of Acosta. Chicago is house to the core, as Detroit is techno; no trance or progressive in the church, please! Along the East it's serious business for Techno, Drum n Bass, or House, but no progressive or trance scenes exist like anywhere you'd find in Europe. Big DJ names on rotation in big fancy clubs don't count; I'm talking about grassroots.
Part of the reason that California retains a small trance scene is that it carries a strain of hedonism and mysticism whose roots extend far back to 60s counter-culture. The deserts around Los Angeles and along the border with Nevada still foster a rave scene, which tends to support trance. |

whoa.. boston has a decent trance scene? where? I've been dying out there..
all ive seen are big names at the avalon..
is there anything more than clubbing there? |
well, I haven't lived out there or anything, so I was mainly just going by livesets I've heard. :tongue2
I've heard a couple sets from Avalon I guess, but that's about it. But Steve Porter's a Bostonian, eh? And he's equal to three trance DJs. So at least you've got that going for you. |

Actually trance in LA was on the out untill about a year ago when Spundae returned to Circus and started focusing on trance....since then it has been back on the rise. Apart from playing here a few times a year CL hasnt done much to keep trance alive in LA. |
