No trance in Vancouver.

So after a few months of constant festival performances I have concluded that Vancouver is lame. Since Mile 36 is no more - trance - or at least trance festivals - are a thing of the past in Vancouver. There has not been a single festival this entire summer that has not required at least a 6 hour drive to get to - and even then it is not full on trance.. I took 3 boats to get to Diversity and there were only 3 scedualed trance DJs after 4 days of Reggae. It was a fun festival and I had a blast - but the point is - is there anything left for the full on Trance Dancers or do I have keep going to Montreal or Edmonton to get my fix? Entheos was fun as well - but no full on - and it was primarily a workshop venue... no music for at least half the party - so we could learn.... um.... stuff... Is there something I have missed or is the Vancouver scene over? Am I like a bad kickback to the 90's? Like those rockers who swear metal will never die, and perhaps it has.... perhaps.

    Totally hear you.
    This year is horrible. First Alluvium bled out and now Godizus went up in a smoke.

    I couldn't believe how freakin good was Alluvium last year. Full on, heavy dark vibe, totem poles shining purple energy all night long, opening up the highest chakras all around. It was a mystical, magical, life changing event.

    I was sooo looking forward to go out again this year...

    Then I heard, my psytrance hero, Mubali is coming to the Godizus party! Woow, that could save the year!

    Now that this is failed too, I'm over with the parties for this year. I'm starting to think about conspiracies...

    Frustrated, end of rant.

        psytrance will never die ~ we just need to work on land issues where our Vancouver psy community need to buy one ~

        i will keep you posted soon if any psytrance "little bush private party" is taking place this weekend ~

        @ Auton: "conspiracies" ~ yes indeed this crossed my mind also ~ ....and i will leave it at that!@!...



        may the light keep on shining on us ~


        peace ~

          dear mr. nystagmus,

          you are super f'n cool and write killer trance.

          you're set at diversity totally blew my mind apart - as you could likely tell? :P

          would be great to see you putting on events again??

          i know the issue of venue locations is a big one but if anyone could pull it off, i betcha you could.

          xo piksee

      Are you asking about indoor events too or just outdoor events?

        If you build it they will come.

        There are tons of trance parties going on. Mostly all underground / afterhours type deals though. It seems like you need to know the right crew of people
        I have to admit, (and most of the people in this tribe know), I am not heavy into trance, but the last few private shows I have been to have had a trance injection. Your best bet is to set up your own night / venue and let it go from there. Speakers are cheap to rent.

          It's the outdoor parties that I really miss - sunrise on a beatiful day - trippin balls - yummy. I have talked about putting a festival on (haven't thown one myself in almost 5 years) unfortunately I tend to work 50+ hours a week which leaves little time to throw one - the way I would like to. Top props to anyone who desides to throw one - I know how much time they consume. An indoor event is one thing - but the great outdoors is ... well... great!

            Just like the rest of us.

            Maybe all us hippies went back to school, or got work! ;)

            PS. If you're willing to fund it, I can make it happen. Indoors of course, it's cold now! :P
