Check out the info thread.
You can find out about Ohio's psytrance scene from http://www.goaheadproductions.com/ Ohio actually has one of the most active scenes in the midwest, second to Chicago. The Chicago scene is centered around http://www.chilluminati.org Toronto also has tons of events. Do some digging.

demonicresurrection, Psytrance is completly underground in the US. You mention "trance" to people and they think of cheesy hindi trance. I should know, I live in an indian neighborhood in NJ, and most neighborhood people who listen to electronic music listen to bad bangra house or the cheesy club trance, and they have never heard of Goa trance.
Even in New York City there are only maybe 300 people who regulary attend parties, and everyone literally knows each other by face if not name, and this is in a city of 8.5 million people, and many of the Psytrance people in NYC aren't even from NYC, they are from New Jersey or Philadelphia or CT. So it's more like you have 300 Psytrance people from a metro area of 20 million people.
Which is good or bad depending...
In New York City, everyone know everyone else...literally, so it's like a big family.
it means you can start a new psytrance scene from scratch in Ohio.....
It means that if are successful in starting a scene in Ohio, you can have it fresh and orginal and fun!
- Teach yourself to DJ, and then reserve some space at college for a party through a student club, like for example the Asian Student's Club. You can reserve a student rec center, stage etc., all colleges have spaces available for parties. Then Drop some psytrance on them!
- Or get a portable soundsystem and have a party in some fields in the middle of the night.           "They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security"

WOW! THAT IS EXACTLY RIGHT. please! i belive people need to hear PSYCHADELIC TRANCE. Its not even just the music that made me love it. It was the music ANd all the nice people. like " family" its a trip man,. START NOW if your reading this. talk to people IF theres a party get some gear, play the party. if you cant mix im sure you can find someone. you know after a while i hope people will see that this music is serious and will start liking it? then your set. I belive if you want to be serious and work hard , it will happen you know. i mean its good music.

I think Chilluminati has the midwest covered though

If you know whats good for you wont go trying to spread the Gospel in the USA. Most people have never heard of psytrance, dont want to hear about it, and despise it if they do, and despise our culture even more than our music. Spreading the gospel will not make you friends, so I reccomend going to parties when you can and keeping quiet about the whole psy thing when you are not at parties. You are in hostile territory, dont forget it

not sure what you mean by 'hostile territory' - psytrance here (US) has a fast growing presence and most people in the EDM scene have nothing but respect for it, from what I've seen. and those who don't know will learn soon enough. just don't call it "trance" and you won't get laughed at.

of course if you go around saying that psytrance is the best and nothing else can be good music, people won't be happy.. but that's just general good manners.

          ..it's just another party..

Psycosmo, I could not disagree more... North America could really benefit from a strong and vibrant trance counterculture. Many people need to wake up from the mass hypnosis of corporate media and capitalism run amok. A powerful experience accessed through trance is a way to acheive positive change for the individual, and - hopefully - society at large.

If you wanna wake people up dump a few keys of acid in the water supply or dust the air with it. Otherwise dont hold your breath for things getting more enlightened in the near future...
My experience is that most people do not want to be exposed to new things, and they get mad if you try. I'm more concerned about defending our scene aginst the "barbarian horde" than trying to enlighten them.

bullshit
that will not wake anyone up
unless they were waking up already

and, umm, no drug talk

actually, i do not believe trance will wake anyone up either

you cannot forcefeed these things to people, they must look for them on their own, otherwise they will overlook whatever benefits it might have           Load Universe into Cannon. Aim at Brain. Fire.
