Does anyone else think maybe why these Hard Trance nights are in decline is because the music is being played by the more commercial dJs all over the place. I mean i went to Slinky in bristol a month or so ago (when Mark EG and Anne Savage wa playing) Anne Savage's set was more or less the same as a Dj Crow's set I heard him play at North a few months ago.
I would much prefere to go to an underground party anyday but for new people coming into the scene who like the music if they see Hard Trance nights being advertised on Radio1 and in Mixmag magazine they are going to go there as they know no different.
