Guest Daniel Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 The U.S. is in need of some new and innovative music and since electronic styled music is becoming more and more popular in the states I think we should do our part in promoting psy-trance in our individual areas. Get your friends to start listening to psy-trance....play it at parties, talk to people about it. We need to start spreading the word....if you know any DJ's introduce them to the idea of psy-trance....play them a few songs that might be closley related to what they spin. Personally I'm going to copy some of my CD's onto my computer and select some of the best tracks by big names in the psy-trance world (Astral Projection, Hallucinogen, Etnica, Infected Mushroom, etc) and burn those tracks onto "promo" Cd's and hand them out to DJ's in my area and to Radio Stations attached with a little letter talking about what it is they are going to be hearing on the cd. I'll do some name dropping, some album suggestions. I'm sick of hearing HARD trance and HARD house and Break Beats being played by DJ's in my area....maybe if I can show them that there is more out there to tap into....I'm sure a lot of DJ's know about psy-trance and probably have heard some tracks but I wanna get involved and get the U.S. involved in the psy-scene. Seriously....if we all start doing little things it COULD add up and reward us. It seems like a gigantic goal but all goals no matter how big or how small take time to achieve. So who's with me!!!!? Come on my fellow Americans, lets get things going!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hels Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 Sorry I can't agree with you...if there's no scene in your area than maybe you can start your own parties...that's really what the U.S. scene is about, I think...small parties and people who really love the music. If too many people are into this music I'm afraid that you'd just get people there for drugs and whackiness and not for the true spirit of the music... I'm all for introducing people to my music but not everyone...just those who I think would like it Radio stations...good luck!!! Maybe a college station... I'm afraid I haven't made my point that well Someone else make it better for me...hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Daniel Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 radio was the LAST thing on my list because american radio is FAR from playing any kind of electronic music without words....the most electronic songs I have heard thus far on the radio (during the day) are vocal trance liek Lasgo, DJ Encore, Ian Van Dahl, ATB, Amber etc. Mass media isn't ready to hear instrumental electronic music on the radio...and frankly I don't think they ever will be....so promoting to radio would be LAST on my list. I wanna get my local DJ's involved because they are what get's the electronic scene's in indivdual areas thriving. There are a few DJ's I'm going to go after in the Tampa Bay area of Florida: DJ Dreamy.............(dream trance, club trance) DJ Santana............ (hard trance, club trance, trance) DJ Mike.................. (break beats, house) DJ V....................... (trance, hard trance, club trance) DJ Aires.................. (breaks, hard trance, trance) With my idea of getting us all involved I'm just trying to get the undergroud U.S. scene a little bit bigger.....I'm not trying AT ALL to get it main stream but I want the U.S. psy-scene to get bigger.

Guest Hallucinogenious Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 Psy-trance at the US is still underground ... thats very good ! enjoy it as much as it lasts ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Daniel Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 Its non-existent in my area....that's why I wanna get the underground psy-scene going over here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hippo Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 the best thing you can do is get your a$$ behind those decks and spin some psystrance for the people... if they like it, they'll talk to you afterwards... if they don't, they might throw rotten eggs at you, but hey, it sure is worth a try I think converting djs into spinning something else is stupid, it should be their very own choice to spin what they like. why bother going to house and club trance parties if you don't like it? just stay away from it. otherwise I recommend moving to europe, brazil, australia... well, just about anywhere :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ben Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 daniel your idea sounds nice but it is not realistic. All those djs you mentionned are spinning breaks and hard trance/house because they can make a living out of it. And it is hard to make a living out of making psytrance. I understand how you feel: you just discovered psytrance and you got really excited.. i used to be like you two years ago, i wanting to make everybody listen to psytrance...but what i realized is that psytrance is not for everyone, especially in the US. Many people i met told me that it was too crazy, and too much for them. Most people don't like to be challenged with music, keep that in mind!

Guest Setsuko Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 Keep it secret but not elite ... more parties means lots of lots of bad parties .... over here in Belgium we now have two parties every day of the weekend and I can tell you ... it's no fun anymore ... now I prefer doing a party every month so I don't destroy the magic ...

Guest (___/'1'___) Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 there is no need to promote psytrance in the US. promotion is dominated by rap and advertisments, personally i'd like to keep it that way. don't feed pigs gold. keep it underground . Throw a party, invite your friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gallowglass Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 wtf is "dream trance"? sounds like it might be cool but the fact that its paired with club trance makes me think its probably some shite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
