1. Will Australia be a major playor on a global level and establish itself like Holland did from 2000 onwards?
Um… no. We’re too far removed from Europe where it all started. Europe will remain the major players cos they’ve got the crowds. Plus presently, everything Australia does is a copy (and I could say inferior copy) of what the Europeans are doing… that’s not going to help our cause!
2. Will we have acclaimed producers or Dj's that have the luxury of touring full time?
Um… yes, but only say 1 or 2, who are out-of-this-world talented and bring something quite unique to trance, will do well. Even then they will have to call some place in Europe home or they’ll be swamped by the European DJ’s who are always in the faces of European clubbers. And they’re going to need a farking insane promotions team behind them or it’s irrelevant how good and hard working they are.
3. Will Australia produce an international club brand?
Doubt it. How on earth will they be able to take on Gatecrasher/GK/Slinky?? Any international club brand Australia establishes will most likely be in a genre other than trance which went superclub too early for us to compete.
4. Are we going to see trance return to the status it achieved pre-2000?
Only if productions stop being so formulaic and e. These days a decent track is sort of ‘oooh aah, that’s amazing’ when pre 2000 is would have just been another track to throw into the archives. I can only think of The Other Side as a track that moved me this year… gorgeous. Oh and look, it was one of the stars of pre 2000 who produced it :|
6. Will it continue to go in the musical direction of prog/tech or will it go back to being more melodic?
More melodic, people miss the true emotion that cemented trance as a powerful genre in the first place. And vocals will come back. Good vocals. They distinguish tracks.
7. Will it become a mainstream genre like house of recent years?
I have absolutely no idea! I don’t even know when house became so massive. Was looking back at the Together flyer the other day, and remembering thinking ‘who’s this guy Jaques Lu Cont, house?? I think I’ll pass on seeing him’. Would lurve to see him now!!
Or sadly..........
8. Will it all be over?
Nah, it will always keep bubbling along. |

lot of good points raised.. :) |
I don't think trance is dead or will die BUT the progressive house/tech scene is growing more and more from strength to strength. A lot of fresh new talent to look out for - each with their own unique style.
We all know the trance scene in Oz will NEVER be able to compare with the scene in Europe - even the house scene for that matter.
Canada/US have the BEST house scene.
Progressive-Deep-Dark-Dirty-Tribal sounds all the way!!
Trance just doesn't do it for me like it once used to.
