NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Happy Birday!! It's all down hill from here!

Trance, for me at least was a step in EDM's evolution from Techno/House. It just seemed right. And the reason was mostly the chord progressions. Another aspect of Trance in the late 90's early 00's was the scene was different than what was out there. The people were different and THAT is what really made it a scene was the people in it when it was underground. I've been in clubs in NY, NJ, CA, and FL, MEXICO. They played house, hip-hop, what ever. One thing for sure is that it always sucked in many places was the vibe. I don't know if it was the music or the people. But the vibe sucked. As in many meet markets, everyone there is not really there to enjoy themselves, the music, or even the moment. Most are there to either find someone to sleep with because they've waited in line for 40 minutes, paid $30 at the door and drinks and want to feel that somehow this was all worth it. This is the best idea they've come up with and need to justify it somehow. They're not having a good time so they somehow think that if they drink more, they'll have a better time, or everyone will accept them as a person or something. They circle the Dance Floor, standing against the wall or harass females or worse yet, get into a fight over something stupid. This is a BAD vibe. On the other hand, I've been to a sh!t bar in New York called Po Billies (I think), the beer was cheep and sh!itty, the music was horrible, but for some reason, everyone was having a blast. That was a GOOD vibe. When the Underground Trance Scene hit, it was something different. It seemed to me that everyone there was there for the same reason; to enjoy the music. Everyone got along, strangers became friends, it was all good. Of course, nothing lasts forever.

So far, I’ve heard a lot of compelling arguments. Trance has gone though a mini-pop phase. Perhaps Ultrafest is a strong indication of that as well. But I don’t think Trance has completely died either. Looking for new stuff? Something different? I’d have to refer to who I think is Trance’s #1 evangelist right now, Armin van Buuren. http://www.arminvanbuuren.com/ For those who don’t know, he does a weekly radio program “A State of Trance†where he promotes the latest tracks. One recent track I heard that I think is worth mentioning is one by an Israeli Producer, Yahel feat. A-Force - Behind Silence (Fundamental). For those who jumped off the bandwagon, you’re about to miss your ride

Only way you’re guaranteed to get into Space is with a bag of coke and strippers on each arm. Otherwise, getting there early will help.

Do you think this may have been a result of some trying to commercialize trance?

OK. Why? Porque? Por la musica o por su popularidad? Y si es un comemierda, por que es tan popular?

So how do you feel about Paul van Dyk?

You'll see me there as well. Let's see where it goes.

I like to think of myself as a musician first. So I tend to look for the similarities more than the differences. I have a long history with EDM; back to Joy Division. So to pick a favorite, I can’t. I won’t. There seems to be a difference in the types of crowds that favor different types of music. Not to generalize, but I've seen how the vibe can change from one extreme to another.

happy Birthday...

I suspect this web portal, though a good idea, will have major credebility problems.

Looks good. Check out the Trance Section. Bill Gates dont' know trance.

LOL 1 orgy cumming up!

Why do people keep waking me up at work when I'm trying to get some sleep

True. He could be touring the US with this kind of exposure, actually make money doing this dance.

Happy Birthday

How about neither. Alcohol is a waste of time and Charlie's just not worth it.

First, Alicia, I’d walk 20 miles over broken glass, barefoot just to suck the lug nuts on thewheels to the truck that take your panties to the laundry. Having said that, I agree that this is bullsh*t. It’s not the first time it’s been done. A month ago, Nina Sky’s birthday party was being held at one of the clubs. I’m sure you’ve seen the “hang out with [insert hottie or stripper here] tonight at [insert club here]. Lastly, I’ve only been to Opium twice. Each time, the door gives us a hassle even though we have passes/badges etc. So now, they’re going to have to do better than Alicia to get me or any of my friends to waste a moment going there when there are so many good clubs and events all over the beach.

I only wore that outfit once because my gf asked me

No. Chinese and Latinos Take ecstasy, It's the white man that smuggles it.

LOL

It's the MAN trying to bring us down...
