Guest Coriolis Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 Okay so this is basically a really generic request for any kind of information or advice for someone like me, who is an upstart psytrance producer and wants to make his way in the scene. I'm new to the scene and to this site as well which is why you've never seen me before (I would have put my latest track in the contest but i didn't finish it in time, you'll see me in the next one). Lets say for now that my music is good, even if it isn't, just for the sake of talking about working the scene (I'm working on putting together an MP3.com identity and y'all can hear my tracks and I'll let you be the judge.) So where do i start? What does "success" look like in the psytrance scene and, given the music production to back it up, where is the path? haha i know this questio is big so whatever your 2 cents are is gonna be helpful. peace!

Guest drav Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 basically, from people ive spoken to, dont go looking for money, cos you wont find much. Success is when people have heard of you and like youre music, and go to the patries you do to hear you play. The path is to send demos of your music to every record label you like and see what the outcome is. Basically spread the word about yourself, and see what comes up. The fact that you have finished tracks is a good start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest !_-_+_-_! Posted April 7, 2002 Share Posted April 7, 2002 it depends in lots of facts starting from: do u do psychedelics or u dont?, do u have a mainly work? do u wish to live from the hole trance fenomena? ....when i ask that question to myself i get different answers every time. ..today i see the succes as a psytrance producer to have a work wich aford my equipment till there is a time when u can "live" from the parties u play at, ok...this is just for a while...then u can comeback and start working in anything u like the most in that time... ilumination be with us....

Guest Coriolis Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 i'm not looking for money. i just need to break even, to cover my own expenses. i'm just looking for a good time - i want to travel around and play parties and maybe even more exciting is the idea of teaming up with other trance producers and making killer tracks. when i said "success" before i didn't mean money - i meant "success" in whatever sense the spirit of psy-trance deems it to be, that could mean just being well-liked and playing lots of fun parties, or maybe it means going out and opening peoples minds, or whatever - what would *you* say "success" means is the question i ask...

Guest translumination (wow) Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 success for me would just be to watch people dancing to my music.. that would be an amazing feeling. maybe it'll happen someday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hogus Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 Watching people dance to your music is definitely the best reward, thats the point of creating dance music wether its the psy-trance scene or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
