I,m going to be here until sept 2010, completing my studies as a trainee here.
In Spain trance.hardtrance, hardhouse, all died around 2003-2004 as something oriented for the big public and turned into something more underground and more difficult to find. The years that went from 98 to 2003 were absoulteley amazing... |
Interesting. I hope I'll get a chance to meet you.
As far as music, the same has happened in Toronto. 98-03 were the big years and it has died down a lot. But there are still a lot of trance lovers in the city and surrounding area, so you can usually find trance parties, just maybe not every weekend.
Definitely keep an eye on the events thread. |

I was in valencia in 2002 and it was one of the best times of my life. I experience the las fallas festival and endless parties. |
Great festivals those, although personally i prefer the ones from my homecity (Pamplona).
The Valencia region was/is one of the main ones regarding electronic dance music and started in the early 90,s with many discos and the emerging techno and trance (if you could call it that then) culture .
Another one which i know better is the Basque Country region, with famous discos like Txitxarro, Itzela, Play, and with the greatest dj´ing names in the industry coming over.
Of course Ibiza and the Balearic islands are a world apart. |

This is the nicest "I'm new to Toronto and/or TA" thread I've seen in ages. I'm not a huge trance fan at all but thought I'd post and say....
Welcome! |

Hey and welcome!! :)
If you're looking for trance parties, it's best to keep your eyes peeled for events at the Guvernment or Vola. January 22nd!!!! ;) Ronski Speed and Stoneface and Terminal, it's going to be serious.
You're in luck, there seems to be a lot of trance bookings coming up already for 2010! :)
Hope to meet you out! |

Hi everyone!! I´m new in the City and apart from saying hellow to everyone I wanted to ask for the not so well known places where you can listen to trance music.
I´m from Spain and my first contact with Trance music were the Rank-1-Airwave, Verachocha-Carte Blanche, Destination Sunshhine-Balearic Bill, the gouryellas......
At the moment I like stuff like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBYKj___MaQ (amazing from my point of view from 3:32 onwards) and
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0Gcm0Vqx2o
In the more or less two months i´ve been here i´ve gone to Circa, Guvernment (wasn´t that impressed, i went on a "normal" friday") and the Mod Club, where i really enjoyed the music usptairs. I still haven´t got used to going home that early and ended up in a place called the Comfort Zone but the people there varied greatly to what i had seen in other clubs.
So, any reccomedantions for the type of music you can hear on the links or the ones mentioned above?!
Hope you all didnt´have problems with the snow and rain! |
Bienvenidos a Toronto! La mayoria de musica aqui esta hip hop y top 40. Si quiere trance lo mejor lugar es guvernment. Pero con musica electronica, la mas popular aqui en este momento es house. Las leys aqui son un poquito estupido. no puede beber mas alla de las 2 por la manana. Entonces la mayoria de la gente va a casa temprano. Es la cultura aqui.
suerte!! |

To be honest, the fact that no alcohol is served from 2 am onwards was shocking at first, but i´m adapting to the situation. Now I meet people and start having a drink earlier. In Spain a normal night for me would start at 11:30pm, and end at 6:30am more or less. But I am enjoying it here, the city is great, Canadians are EXTREMELY kind and helpful people and there always lots of things to do in Toronto.
Today is a very cold day, but guess what, there were mens boots on offer at The Bay and took advantage:) So it´s just a matter of adapting to the new environment!
Alcohol is also expensive here!!:)
For the previous posters, great Spanish ;) |
