I was just wondering how you guys get all your trance in places like America, Canada, Japan etc. Before I joined Tranceaddict I thought that electronic music was only really popular in Europe. Have your countries developed their own scenes alongside ours? And how quickly do you get tunes over there from British and European labels?
I'm still amazed at how much you guys know about tunes, its wicked. Soon us....... the people of the future shall conquer the world with our music!!!:D |

| In America, I just order stuff off Amazon.com, and theres also some CD stores that sell "dance" stuff, but mostly e. Oh yeah, theres also this little shop in one of the shopping centers that sells strictly trance. They are pretty good, but sometimes overprice their stuff. |

| England is generally good, but for some stuff you have to know where to go, because to be honest most for England is into cheesy bollocks!Especially the bloody women. What annoys me is its getting into dance, all these vocal re-releases of wicked tunes. |

South Africa's dance music scene is very split.
In Johannesburg, Funk ownz.
In durban, its Hard House all the way.
And in Cape Town (my hometown) Hard House/Hard Trance/Epic Trance are the order of the day.
Having been in the UK for 4 monthes, its weird to see how different the scene is compared to SA.
SA is very much dance orientated, whatever the genre, but prog isnt popular. (thank God)
There you go, hope that was informative enough :D

| I go to clubs to hear music. And we've got some specialty record stores here that sell EDM vinyl. Pretty vibrant scene right here, though certainly still underground. |

| What got me rolling in the trance direction was a club where i heard AvB's Communication. OMG. I was like what is this. So napster (RIP) helped me find out more about it. There I found alot of armins songs/remixes. Then I found Tiesto, Picotto, Corsten etc. When I knew I loved this I went shopping. My main supplier is http://www.dancegrooves.com. Also shopped around to other ones that I found. But DG gives me the best rates and they ship almost overnight to the US. But the Detroit Techno scene is what got me into dance. But the one thing that keeps me so upto date is by finding some of the newest stuff here. Almost 200 of the vinyl I have bought in the past year is what was talked about on here and what I heard other various sections :tongue3 . And I have finally convinced my good friend who knows the owner of a record shop in downtown chicago to start carrying more trance and slowly phase out chicago's progressive image. I know that Chicago greeted Oakie, the Chemical Brothers and Sasha & Digweed so well when they came here on 4/20. I was among the thousands there that nite! Woot. |

| I used to get underground mix tapes, and some of them used to drop trance tracks. I remember hearing some old tracks, Robert Miles Children, Mauro Picotto - Lizard, Binary Finary 1998(PvD Rmx), Cafe Del Mar, Universal Nation, etc.... then the net started popping up with alot of MP3's, and the madness never stopped since. We get new musik before some of the top DJ's. |

I live in Vancouver Canada. We do get lots of really good headliners (Marco V last weekend) but our local scene is all Jungle and Breaks. Music gets really trendy in this city, right now the "cool" thing to listen to is Jungle.
As for records, i order from the UK |

napster did it for me pretty much
somehow i downloaded some trance not knowing what it was and then i got addicted
before that i was hooked on break beat, drum and bass, jungle and astral projection. so trance was a step up from all that :) |

Before Napster, I hit up the www.mp3.com and found Trance Control. Then with Napster came Oakenfold, and then came Morpheus and AG, which led to Tiesto, Armin, PvD, Ferry, Yahel, and all my other favorites.
I buy Vinyl online, get it shipped overseas, ebay, stuff like that.
But if it wasn't for MP3's, I never would have discovered trance. |
