This lack of New Year's Eve psy-trance parties in London - does that suggest that psy-trance is no longer popular in the capital? Are all the true psy-trancers having to go else where, 'cause London has lost the art of a true trance party?
Not wanting to put down the ONLY one advertised, but what is happening here? This is my first New Year in the UK for 20 years, and I was looking forward to a mass of parties to choose from. Looks like I'll have to stay in and save my energies for New Year in Cape Town 2006/2007? I know what happens when there is a choice of one party to go to. Had that too many times in Jo'burg - no offense to Lunatech - but without competition, it just never had that competitive edge that drives a party to success.
Come on Guys you cannot be serious?
I have had this feeling in my bones that psy-trance doesn't really exist in London anymore. I have been to few parties of late, where I simply didn't recognize the style. Its as though I am in the wrong scene, excepting the fact that I have over 500 psy-trance CDs and buy around 5 or 6 a month. Seems strange - can anyone guide me to where its actually gone? Found 100% psy-trance in Germany (Fullmoon) and Brixton Achedemy, but that's really all for this year. The rest of the parties have had a mixed flavour to them, as though they are trying to cater for a wider audience - progressive trance / hard house / electronica / techno?????
 Smile, its a new day! |

I agree, very little parties to what I expected! And the ones that are going on are not really my style of party or music.....come on organisers, give us something to work with here!

I've said it before - but if no one is doing the music you like - get a venue, get some DJs & decor, knock up some flyers and sell some tickets/pass round the bucket.. and have a party!!
Its not rocket science...

Well..Im gonna be in London in a few weeks for a lil while. Spoke to a coupla old psyheads and they ALL pointed to the mass media one. I still think the Synergy Project idea is nice, a good idea for a Nye gathering ( in fact they have some incredibly interestin lineups over their last events, and that is so rare and proves they are versatile) but only wish i could go crazy to some established psytrance act or Dj in the capital. Last year i had a ball with broken toy and MWNN
Oh well..b2c, we can always grab a pint or two.

Acid Monkey for me too.
and welcome back Greg! Hopefully we'll get a chance to meet at the party.
Rather than feeling that you're about to have the rug pulled from under you, let me teach you how to dance on a flying carpet |
