pod Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 Trance may not be dead in Miami, but it is "dead" as a cutting edge genre. No matter how many new tracks are produced, no matter now many new trance DJs pop up, it all seems to revolve around the same thing...130 BPM kick drum-frilly synth patch-fruity girl vocal about castles or something-buildup-breakdown-repeat!That's why you've got people like Edgar succeeding worldwide, they've moved beyond trance, and incorporated other styles into their mix... Edgar in my mind isn't trance anymore, he's gotten a little beyond it... Edgar gets booked at Maze, it's not gonna be the same sound as Space 2 years ago. Sorry kids, but those are the breaks. Also, I'm gonna ask you how many of your "trance heaven" nights were fueled by drugs? I'm willing to bet a lot. I was there once...hey when I'm fucked in the head, anything sounds good! Not to bash trance as a whole, there is good trance out there, it's just very hard to find nowadays. Again, that's why I look to Mr. V for the quality stuff. So in closing, if Maze is gonna do a trance saturdays, make sure it's Edgar, and not George. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mursa Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 "vocals about castles ..... etc " POD ... LMAOI figure the reason why people dislike trance is because the trance that they do hear is the "SUPER COMMERCIALIZED " trance that you usually hear on 93.1 etc . I suggest people invest in some IMPORTS and maybe make a trip to Europe and see how TRance is alive and rockin in most major clubbin cities . Only because Miami doesn't have many decend Trance Dj's (exception EDGar V & GA ) doesn't mean TRANCE is DEad . I like House alot , but for me there is not a genre of electronic music that gives you as much energy/life as TRance / Prog TRance . TASTES are relative !

fliptoniaaa Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 this actually is one of the best threads ive read in a while.....what to say....yes george is a pioneer, but lets look at it like a relay team...george has pasted the baton to edgar and edgar has taken it to the next level....hey r both....GREAT d.j's......but its true what ive read up there george week in and week out is just the same thing over and over, but thats what most of his fans want from him....alot of his fans r the shadow heads...which i was one of...that want to hear....worl in my eyes with overdrive, followed by ayla etc....i agree that comic gate, scot project, scot bond.... need to get ALOT more recognition around here, but we have to start screaming from the rooftops so they take us seriously enough to actually book them.....Things evolve and that what has happened with george....i to miss the old mix, shadow, kgb, days but i also dig the new oscar g space days....and so what if way back in the days it was drug induced...its what got me into the music yes, but the music itself is what i still enjoy and feel on the inside even when im sober, and u dont believe im hardcore u could ask tranzwhore.....she knows im hardcore, were hardcore buddies!!!!!!!....im still foaming at the mouth to meet saleen never met him but here sure does add quality entertainment to this board....i thought we were gonna be in the same club once and i asked to mett him and all he put was a big fat NO...lolhes a good laugh....lets see id like to go to maze to see george but i have to see what happens with the kids and stuff...its nice to go back every once in a while just not every weekend......and as for next week Edgar V vs. Tiesto....im in edgars corner all the way...i hope to see many of u out there as well.....Edgar deserves our support!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

liquidx Posted May 29 Report Share Posted May 29 Ye it would be sweet if George starts spinning there. Although I do agree with the Edgar V talk, hes been doing it for me lately.

klubveteran Posted May 29 Report Share Posted May 29 one day Space and Edgar V have to sit down and put all Bullshit aside and let him play there. they fit each other like a glove. Edgar can rock that room and Space can use a VERSATILE trance type dj. and no trance isnt completly dead. \dont confuse 93.1 day time music cheese for that trance.

pod Posted May 29 Report Share Posted May 29 geez, you really have it out for Space, dontcha? I think we got the point on the first post. I gotta ask, what did they do to you? Don't tell me you're pissed cause they don't book the DJs that you want. crobar doesn't book any DJs I like, and I consider it a decent club...I'll admit that early last year I was kinda ragging on the club, they had some procedural issues I wasn't too happy with, and other people weren't too...but ya know what? Most of that stuff is gone. Space 34 had some issues too, but I can tell they're trying to resolve them. You seem vague, that "Louis is gonna get his..." or "even your workers hate you..." ...you haven't come out and said what him or Space has done to you. In my mind, I'm grateful that we have the top club in the country in town, it saves me airfare...they usually get the best DJs, and are willing to take chances from time to time with their bookings...Back to the topic at hand though...George will certainly rack up some crowds at Maze...if he is in fact going to have a residency there on Saturdays. It takes a bit for his minions to realise he's moved, but once they do, it's packed...Maze could easily use him as a financial buoy...allowing them to take chances on guest DJs in conjunction with Ralph on Fridays.

spinstar Posted May 29 Author Report Share Posted May 29 there's no doubt in my mind that GA will pack Maze June 7th -- will 500+ people go to Maze every Saturday night if Acosta was playing a residency? hopefully.if you look at his residency at Spin, the attendance numbers slowly started tapering off until basically the club was sold and he stepped off. i'm sure he doesn't want to get a residency at a club here in Miami only to be disillusioned that people will come consistently week in and week out, when in fact they start to end up going somewhere else. i would be just as cautious as he in predicting a Miami turn-out.one week we're all dedicated trance heads, next week devoted house heads...no wonder most Miami DJs are dying to get the fuck out of Florida.they're having a difficult time filling a room with free admission, an open bar, and the occassional free CD.I read in one of Stryke's recent posts about possibly crossing the pond... I don't blame him. The night he was at Maze his music was off the fucking hook, and the turnout was despressing... I'm sure both he and Acosta's sets in places other than Miami are absolutely packed, and the fans are very grateful for them to be performing in their local club.everyone needs to support the local spinners/producers and stop jocking international cheese balls.also, trance is far from dead. people in 90s said that house was dead and they were wrong. basically these dance genres never fully go out of style, they just morph into new grooves. this new sound that GA is spinning lately (trance melodies coupled with break beats) is taking off. people everywhere are eating this with a spoon.except of course for locals.... support your local DJs!
