other than that, im all up for it. i'd like to be more informed visually on the trance scene around the world, as well as in north america. |
Well I think thats a silly thing to say, I mean people who like trance or learn to like it aren't idiots for not liking it before. I mean if people watch trance and learn to love it thats great. The more popular it becomes the better DJs/artists we see here in Canada. I've converted quite a few friends into trance, and I think that should be the goal of every fan, more fans means more exposure to our favorite form of music.
I mean Trance in EU is pretty damn popular but on MTV Europe you still see that same old r&b, hip pop, rap, rock that we see here, but at least they have trance videos too. |

I do, right now I have over 350 trance videos.
But the more pressure we put the quicker it comes, I mean if nobody complains they won't be hurrying to change.
I'm realistic, I don't expect sudden change but I do want to keep it in their minds that they are missing a target audience by not playing our music videos.
I'm getting satelite soon anyhow, but I still want to push MTV Canada and Much Music. |

From Iceland :cool:
My family is from Iceland and I really really want to go, maybe after I grad HS or something.
A couple of my friends have that BPM channel, its ok, nothing to really get excited about. I dont watch tv for trance or electronic, but god if we had TMF I would be in front of my tv 24/7. Someone needs to pirate a europe TV satellite and give us TMF! |

| BPM TV is pretty good. I heard that it might get shut down since not enough people have signed up for it. As for Much, I'd rather not see Trance Videos on there. I think it's bad enough up here that tracks get leaked onto radio and people think the world of these commercialzed tracks. I've also noticed a few things with Much latley though. During the VJ search they played Tiesto - Dallas 4 PM and I was watching a commercial for the 2002 MMVA(not certain) and they had Spoiled and Zigo - More and More playing in the back ground. Anyone else notice that? |

I just don't get this reasoning, I mean in Europe trance is played quite regularily. Why do you think playing trance on Much music is a bad thing?
I want to see trance videos, so do all my friends, and thats what this is all about. More exposure is not going to hurt trance in Canada, because its almost totally ignored as of right now.
The more fans of trance in Canada, the easier it is to get more DJs our way, not just TO and Vancouver either...
Its just silly to try to 'hide' trance from the general public, we should be promoting it, not keeping it underground.
If you think popularity of trance is so bad, why then is Holland and the UK hotbeds for awesome DJ's and great trance? The more popular this music gets in Canada the better it is for us. |

Yeah, god forbid we have a trance scene like Holland and the UK... Phew thank god we stopped this before anyone played trance videos!
I hear the popularity of trance in Holland has ruined the scene, thank god we have Canada and the US where real trance lives! |

i disagree, you will just see a dividing line between commercial and underground trance, just like you see it now in europe, and you will always have a choice as to what you want to listen... i think it would be a really GOOD idea to start up a trance tv station, cuz when you think about it, if they play trance tunes, it generates more money for the producers of trance, hence, more quality tunes! and the more people listen to trance, the bigger and better trance parties will get in north america, just like in europe!
most of you are looking at this selfishly, "oh, screw that, keep that scene undergruond for ourselves"... thats stupid and ignorant |

guy, the north american main stream and the european mainstream are completely different and shouldn't be used as a basis for comparison... i'm telling you, if Trance become's Americanized it's over for the genre... Europe actually has culture... North America has trends and greedy corporations.... don't be ignorant... |
