Hard Trance Events Scene Decline?

**Barely Human** · 09-12-2003, 11:46 AM

This thread is exactly the reason we have started up Faction. The scene needs a big kick up the arse to help it to evolve into something new and exiting. If i can put on a completely different night, and change just one persons perspective on the scene with Faction, then i will be a lot more happy then filling a big club, making money, and letting them all go home thinking"that was ok".

The problem i find is that more young ppl are tending to listen to more hip hop & commercial/funky dance in our area and it has all but killed the hard dance scene (in my area of scotland).

I run events totally different from other promoters in the area ie they go for the cash in commercial acts & dj's and i tend to book underground dj's and give loads of oppertunities to up & coming dj's as they are the future of the dance scene.
In fact in the past 4 yrs i have been promoting i have seen at least 5 other promotions evolve & disolve which is sad to see :cry: but at least i can say i have survived and my events have evolved and now there is fresh ppl attending my events and lots of artists/dj's coming through the ranks!!!

i think the future for hard trance music & clubs can only get brighter and will do so........

Talking of scene decline This friday will be the last Trilogy event at the showbar

, it basically balls down to the management wanting to move the friday nights to a more commercial dance night, even though we are there busiest friday night our style of music and clubbers dont suite the venue... not enough lads and slags putting loads of money behind the bar getting pissed right up stumbling around to Britany spears

...

This year however has been a belter for Trilogy and i would say we have definatly set a good foundation in Bournemouth, other Trilogy events are planned and other venues are on the cards. I would like to say a big thankyou to everyone who supported us at the showbar this year you definatly made it happen for us cheers tomo :clap: :lol:

Fair play... I must admit, I've never met him but I've heard a few different things about him. Best I should put that down to rumour I guess. Especially so as you think about the guy Si. I think you'd be a good judge of character.

That's harsh stuff man. I've heard similar before at clubs wanting to close early because the management said "were not making enough behind the bar" It makes you more mad, especially when you've shelled out the pounds for use of the venue.

Also I've pm'd you about my above comments, just wanted to clear that up cause I wouldn't want you to misunderstand what I was trying to say.

**Paul Nisbet** · 11-12-2003, 08:18 PM

Think hard trance has been that quiet recently that surely there must be some kind of revolution bubbling under???

That new js10 tune changes (jay walker mix) is what im talking about, proper old styleee imo!

Think next year is gonna kick some arse!

**Hakka.** · 13-12-2003, 08:28 PM

One thing that pleased me is the amount of people who responded to this thread.

Over 500 views too.

**edk** · 14-12-2003, 03:02 PM

I think thats because it is a top topic, and everyone is concerned by the number of people going to events " again not a massive turn out for trilogy" even though it was the last one at the showbar.
good news about the "monstary" thing, an all nighter is what the south west needed.
nobody knows what the future holds but surley thats what makes it exciting.

"good news about the "monstary" thing, an all nighter is what the south west needed. "
