it doesnt surprise me.

techno is not nearly as big as trance is. therefore, the majority of the people who are into techno, are into it because THEY LOVE IT. most of them are willing to do anything they can to get their music out there, and to push the sounds of techno.

now with trance, it is big, and alot easier to make a living out of it (and become a superstar) if you are producing it.

If you want to get into producing simply for the fact that you want to be a superstar and have a big ego, you definatly are not going to pick techno. You are going to go with what is the most popular, which is in alot of cases, trance.

now i am not saying that ALL people who are into trance are just into it because they want money and fame etc....but i would say its safe to assume that there are alot of people who are producing trance who get big, aquire big egos, and then the $$ get in their eyes....and loose sight of why they are into this scene, the music.

this is a great thread topic :)
