Hellloooooooo?!?!? Is there anybody out there?
The hard dance / trance scene up here has been gone for quite some time. Are there anybody left? I can't remember the last time I spoke to a local trance DJ (the pop clubs dont count). |

| watch this space, i'm promoting a new night up here in the coming months which will be very trance orientated. working with digital at the moment, but might be doing this at foundation once they've sorted their finances out (rumoured to be filing for bankruptcy atm). |

i have stayed away from the newcastle scene since vuzz/twisted logic ended pretty much.
there is junior g, but i've never been due to other commitments.
in middlesbrough there are some trance nights on @ sugar shack, empire. hardwick & myself bi-monthly, and there are some special guest djs to be announced very soon

| I'd be interested in running a night again if I could find a decent club to do it at. Digital is crammed with other nights and all Sunderland clubs dont seem to understand what trance is, nor would they even let someone have a go at promoting a night. Its ing the scene up here these days. |

quite. lee foster did play a part in running privilidge in sunderland but from what i gather it wasn't as successful as hoped. trance up here is pretty dead -at least in tyne and wear. i know foundation numbers dwindled and twisted/vuzz really struggled to get people in.
imo the only way a night could be successful up here is if you put a big name alongside local/more underground djs. i've talked to other local ta's in the past and putting oakie/jules/pearce to get in the public & charvs alongside people like riley+durrant/kershaw/hardwick/tulip was the only way we could forsee a medium/large sized night sustaining any real prolonged success and possible development and growth of the trance scene back up here

Sure! I dont think theres much scope anywhere in the country these days for putting on small nights with all unknowns, I know a few people who've done it but it never lasts long cos they just cant get the punters in. I guess its just not like the old days in the early 90's where these small nights really took off.
I reckon a decent night would have to incorporate more than just trance, any of the hard dance genres would add a bit of spice now n then.
Its just so ing hard getting a club, I tried to get Annabels 3 years ago and told them I was gonna book Ferry Corsten and Jules to play the opening night. Even that didn't encourage them let me do it and I'd spent 3 weeks putting together a business plan. Highly frustrating!!!! |

Funny enough while we're on the subject, I just heard from one of my mates who is putting on a small clubnight/party thing in the function room of a small pub. Sounds like its gonna be propper old school and dirty, only thing is they've asked me to DJ (of course) but it looks like I'm on my own.
Anyone local interested in laying down some beats?
Its close to Sunderland Uni so bound to be quite busy with all the students. |
