I agree with you guys that local scenes have an impact (of course they do, that's quite obvious), but I disagree that it's anywhere near the level that it used to be. The lines are far more blurred now. |
Nobody claimed it was as important as it used to be, so you're disagreeing with thin air. Geographical location is still
significantlyimportant, especially in the case of Eastern Europe where most of these countries still have seperate languages. |

Armin said so. He plays "the best and the latest in Tränz and Progressive" in ASOT. When Armin says that it's true, us mere mortal can not doubt his wisdom. |
Damn you sure took Rebel9 for the proverbial ride here... :stongue: :stongue:

Cultural tradition is very important.
Berlin and Prague are 350 kilometres from each other, yet the scenes there are substantially different. One would expect that with Germany so close we would have Villalobos & co. here every month, but "minimal" has always been frowned upon among the Czech clubbers and it never really caught on here. People even threw tomatoes at Hawtin or something when he played here years ago on a summer festival.
On the other hand, dubstep became quickly domesticated and we had Kode9 here way before RA & P4k started reviewing it. It was because drum'n'bass scene has always been strong in the Czech Republic, so dubstep was a logical extension.
So yes, proximity doesn't really matter and there are still quite big differences between countries (even though it's Central Europe I'm talking about here). |

I agree that there is too many "uplifting" ASOT'ish tracks coming out of Eastern Europe, but this has been going on for about 3 or 4 years now.
I don't understand why some people are getting offended, it's just an opinion. |

That's not real Trance. Armin, PvD, Sean Tyas and Woody van Allen Eyden make real Trance, yours is just pretentious Psy , trying to make yourself look avant-garde. |
LOL :haha: WOW I would love to hear your definition of psy some day.. |

| What a stupid thread. There are plenty of good and bad producers in that region, just like anywhere else in the world. Off the top of my head, two good ones: Anton Chernikov, Ilya Mosolov. |

B-Complex is awesome, if only he would get all of his really good tracks released. |
indeed. There's some quality stuff coming out from him. Add to that prosper & the russian drum & bass or half-step and the future is very bright. I'd say eastern europe has had no worse an effect than America. |
