Why all this malarky?...

[DJCraig Ryan]

Im not gonna explain everything i write at this time of the day.... head a bit counter sized at this time of day...

about the people making the sounds calling it hardstyle

they did, but we don't need to call it hardstyle, techno-trance is how you should refer to it - please trust me otherwise you'll be on that wagon

TG-s and many other labels/dj's which keep cropping up in Italy at the moment are out to make money at the end of the day so will call it hardstyle to sell more tunage etc etc... I mean how many people at Slinky or godskitchen would say they listen to Techno-Trance? it just doesn't have the name to advertise a style which would work, so the money makers come up with a catchy name like 'hardstyle'.. also how many of these ravers do you think have even heard about 'techno-trance'???

one way you can help keep your sound underground is to keep calling it techno-trance, unless you enjoy beer boys, kappa gang's bla blas bla...

another is for a few of the intl dj's in the underground scene to keep themselves underground. because they'll be an infleunce on making this scene 'crap or commercial'...


what music did I listen to after the sound was commercialised?

well hard house was once good, couldn't get hold of any decent stuff after a while so I stop raving for a bit in fact, thought that would be it forever, but they slowed the speed of trance down in Germany, and so I got back into that after about 6 months of crap...
techno got to the point of 2 unlimited, and you got considered a gimp for listening to real techno because that was chart music...

Trance addict with all due respect I don't think you understand how good our scene is now, you probably live in the south west as well, you'll have to swap your nights in the underground for a night out on the town.. your choice...

This quote enables me not to write a fully essay on this topic......thank god!!!
Yeah Macca, i fully agree with you mate

[Voorheez]

I must say well done to Corbzy - make a post about how people should not be so negative on this board, then make it by far the most negative post i've ever read on this board, even calling us the c word!

Seriously though m8, as others have said, your perception will change as you get a bit more experience in dance music.

I live in the south it says Bournmouth under my name. How did you come to that conclusion?

[macca's]

okay I looked, nah actually its just that the South West at the moment seems to be only hard trance, everywhere I look its german trance, there are some good partys to go to for me, but I usually have to organise them or travel 500 miles down south to go to them.... you have a very good scene down there, but its certainely changing... C.C has gone, which has really stunted me from visiting the place anymore...

[Addict]

To offer a ray of sunshine the C.C might be reopening in Blandford (I hope this is not a rumor).

[macca's]

at Volts nightclub, pffft i wouldn't bother going myself, it won't be the C.C, but it would be nice to think it could be..

I believe there trying to confirm a late liscence till 6am, it can be a pain in the arse, unless you have a good reason (like a bank holiday)....

let me guess the line-up

Uberdruck
Mark EG
High Fish crew

and Clive going mad..... wicked...

Fine by me, just like old times. i've never been to Voltz but i've heard its on an industrial estate, can't be too bad.

[macca's]

Devolution crew ran it before, screwed it up in weeks i heard down the grapevine, my mates got some booking soughted for them, the dj's had big trouble getting paid, not a good way to run a nightclub....

apparently daniel Balley said the club was nice inside, but lacked a key thing..

atmosphere, i think perhaps they've taken a SLINKY ROUTE (dare I say it) they've lost out, that market is really catered for through Bournemouth...

and who wants to travel 30 miles every weekend to see a medium sized dj, when you can get the vibe your looking for in Bournemouth, and guarnetteed to haVE A GOOD time

All we've got in Bournmouth at the moment is Trilogy once a month, Chris Hare playing techno along with others at Club X (which also gets some good underground DJ's) every Saturday and endless house parties. Slinky is a swear word to most people.

[macca's]

club X, been there before open all night if I remember rightly next to B&Q and the railway station, had some good techno nights there, even mid week i worked down there for a month a while back...

[Addict]

Do you know a bird called Sarah there who works the door?
Club X is OK coz its nice and underground and it doesn't attract the wrong sort (if you know what I mean), but it's a bit cramped and the sound system isn't top notch.

[macca's]

aaarrrhhh true, I know a french dj called Tongi that plays free party's, and in there occasionally, other than that i can't think of any names to hand....

the sound system yes, not to good is it, but it does the trick (just)

[macca's]

the crowd is good in there, quite poky, but gives it an underground feel... they still doing all nighters?

[Addict]

Yup! and you can go out to your car I think (not too sure about that though). Well this has gone from a heated discussion to a bit of reminising
