raverboi, i love trance more than anyone else... i'll admit i havent been to a party since tall paul was here, but in terms of local djs id have said trance was dead. i know we get some big people here, which is great, but at the average every-weekend party it just wasn't big. if it's blown up in the last 3 months, then i must be wrong... which is really good
but some people say it isn't great or anything, so what are they spinning, cheese judge jules type stuff?
like storm, da hool, ubik, zombie nation..?
i hear azim's doing that.. not much progressive (maybe vancouverites haven't developed the patience after all that HH)
if you say trance is big now i'll believe you.. the big trance parties here are good, because people love good music, but i didn't know if the it was the "preferred" genre of music yet for local djs/party goers |

Ok im pretty young but I have been involved with the Vancouver scene for a pretty long. This had been my observation:
The music in this scene goes in waves. Every few months or so one form of music becomes trendy. What I mean by trendy is that thats what all the new people in the scene are listing becuase thats what they think all the "Hardcore" or "Oldschool" party kids are listing to. About 2 years ago That was trance, EVERYONE was listing to trance. About 7 months ago Vancouver hit a VERY brief Jungle phase, in that period of time every single new person was a "Junglist" even though I would see them later in the main room doing the candy kick-step (if your from Van then you know thats our dance) to hard NRG or Trance. At the same time Jungle was trendy NU-Nrg was also having its time in the spotlight. Recently Breaks have been the in thing and to my dismay they have staye for a while, but im happy to say that it is finally on its way down. Twisted was the big Trance Eye-opener, I have never met that many new people that were loving the trance rather then the breaks. I met like 10 people on that night that had just taken up spinnign it.
So that has been my observations of the Vancouver scene from about 3 years ago.
Oh and at the Twisted pre-party it was Cliff Vermette that was spinning along side azim and Jules. He was a former NU-NRG dj (i got his first CD) that went the way of the progressive house.

that's true special k, i remember in grade 11 (which would have been 2 years ago) everyone WAS listening to trance.. but was before i ever went to a rave
which was why i was surprised it didn't seem as big now
a little annoying you say everyone's starting to pick it up now (just like me, because i had no $$)... but oh well that means the scene should pick up eh |
