here in holland techno is becoming more and more popular, but the big partys like awakenings and partys from id-t are very mainstream nowadays. There is techno but i think at least 50% doesnt even know it's techno they're just having a good time there and listen to all kinds of electronic music.

Then you have the smaller partys which of course are much more underground wich i prefer (of course!?) and their number is also growing i think. Because holland is not so big (quite small actually) the 4 main cities (amsterdam, utrecht, rotterdam, the hague) are easy to reach if you live nearby 1 of them. And for the techno minded people there's always at least 1 good techno party in one of these 4 cities every weekend.
but it has to be said that in holland techno by far isn't as big as trance and/or hardstyle. But i think that's is a good thing and hopefully we keep it that way. It's better for the quality of the partys
