Evolve Lineups

.... yeah, which is why most people on this board started out in luminous clothes, dancing to prog and trance at Promise .... a past some try desparately to shed

Yeah, i wouldent mess with the Dave "The Almighty Scene" Melt.

i dont really like how the scene is (thats the actual scene, not melt) at the minute. i cant help feeling that the north east is losing trance all together, and there's no real event that plays Prog/Trance all the way through anymore....

this mass wave of harder music is flooding the clubs and infecting the kids and its no good.

last trance set enjoyed: Aly + Fila, when was that... ages ago.

i'm not knocking harder music - its the fact that its becoming the norm. i cant help think that its digital's fault like, i dont know why - it just is.

and Lisa Lashes, Rob Tissera, Tidy boy's and anyother rainbow DJ can fuck off cos i'm not going.

dear god, by mentioning internet clubbers you've probably extended the thread a few pages

course there is an audience for trance! fool! how busy were the nights at evolve with Fleming and Ferry etc!

the most depressing thing i have ever witnessed in my life was foundation when it was less that half full all night when johan gielen was on.

everyone was doubting the place massivley and that newcastle had given up. then the line-up's went right downhill and then the fucker closed.

since then, and it wasnt really that long ago, trance has grown slighlty and the market has widened (sp?) the problem with digital and evolve is that its throwing music to a mainstream audience in a mainstream club and the mainstream radgie clubland extreme euphoria anthem loving hands in the air "god just saw human traffic yesterday" demographic seem to love harder music.

where as foundation was pure glorious filth, prog was class, trance was mint, and there was hardly any munters among the punters. So are our musical tastes being shaped by digital regime? probably yes. clever marking/promotion works.

in a way thats why i try to avoid digital at all costs - but sometimes you have to give in, thus giving in to the ghastly corporation that it appparently is*

*i said apparenlty because it hasnt really done anything to me, its just a building in newcastle with a soundsystem, although i could think different if it screwed me over.

Why people want to watch a cool trance dj play to a cold, empty club is beyond me.

Just accept that cutting edge trance is a BIG city or SMALL club thing and enjoy clubbing.

I'm not so sure about that, I remember some right states in there, including me

I remember a night where hogg threw up over himself and then turned his t-shirt inside out so noone would see it happy days...

You are right about one thing, the hype surrounding digital and of course it's location in town has brought it to the attention of the mainstream masses. Whether this is a good or bad thing long term, time will tell.

As for digital being a ghastly corporation, I fear you've been listening to melt's rhetoric for far too long
