Reply to Beginner Trance DJ living in Las Vegas
Beginner Trance DJ living in Las Vegas I have spun several house parties and everything has gone really well! At home i have been practicing just getting on my S4 and just picking songs through my lists and running with it. Gettin a lot better and more consistent at my improv. I know that is essential in live gigs at actual venues. Im getting more and more addicted every day. So I live in Las Vegas. Home of EDC,Marquee, Surrender, Hakkassan, Light, etc.. etc . . . There are plenty of small bars and venues around town and down on the hipster area of Freemont street. The thing i have noticed is trance is kind of hidden in the shadows. With he exception of Markus, Armin and Ferry A&B and a few others.. Trance does no exist in Las Vegas. In addition to that, seeing those big names is extremely disappointing. Not the same as a festival/rave. I know vegas is all about the money and not suprisingly Trap,dubstep and the new age prog house/trapish stuff is taking over. Fun fact for those reading. Went to see Paul Oakenfold and Jordan Suckley about a month ago at Lavo. ANOTHER LET DOWN!! I was at the bar with my buds waiting on a beer and Suckley is standing behind me texting. Shook his hand and ended up talking for about a hour. Now to the point of the story.. They told Oakenfold and Suckley .. NO TRANCE. wtf? how u gonna tell the OAK that? crazy. Only at 330 in the morning with a empty dance floor and the remaining die-hards did i get a lil fix. sorry for the side story.. i just thought it was interesting. I dont know where to start. Seems all the small venues want trap stuff. more and more wobbles and bass. I want to start playing live gigs at venues. I dont know where to start.. I thought maybe hookah lounges and similar things. I want to stay true to my style. i dont want to adapt in order to get gigs. Does anyone have suggestions or useful thoughts?? Feels like im a Spartan and im fighting the trap-loving Persians Thanks !!! btw i have love for all genres, not trying to be a hater. | |
