Though the subset of tumbledry’s viewing audience able to experience this post fully may hover near (or at) 0 people, I nevertheless feel the need to outline my favorite “break-down” in trance music. We’ll begin with a backstory: trance music is a cousin to techno - to me, it is less electronica and more melodic (at least the stuff I like), and when done right it appeals to my sense of cleanliness and precision. If jazz is the old cherry table with fine classic craftsmanship and a lovely patina, then techno is the computer modelled sleek and contemporary Philippe Starck-designed table. Each has their own merits.
I have all the music required to host one effing cool dance party. Ideally, the event would incorporate the best of hip hop and euro dance music, opening the eyes (well, ears) of people on both sides of the dance music spectrum. There are some tracks by ATB, certainly one Oakenfold, some PvD, and others that I would love to share with a dance floor. I’ve got the amps and the speakers … and with a borrowed projector shooting iTunes visualizations onto a wall, things could be pretty sweet. I am missing, however, a critical part of this equation. And don’t say “people willing to attend.” I’m missing a venue. Slot this into the equation, budget a hundred bucks for miscellaneous ephemeral costs, get a group with the right dynamics together, and we’ve got ourselves a sweet sweet night ahead. Folks in the country generally do stuff like this in barns, which makes a whole pile of sense: no noise violations, a big space that is easily cleaned up, and parking galore.
