Yes, lots in the early-mid 90's. I used to play up there quite regularly back then and got a chance to hear a lot of good talent. Funny thing about Toronto is they love their local DJ's, but the local talent never seemed to get out of Toronto too much.. it's weird. It seems a little different now as I see more TO names making it down to upstate NY now and again. It is a different scene up there, definitely lots of fond memories! Unfortunately I don't get a chance to get up there as much anymore

You're right about it being a bit of an add scene. It's still a little mixed up I think, since the old rave days.
As a trance DJ, I don't even know where you could get a gig (but Deadmau5 seems to think it's alive)... cause all the underground events are techno or funky house or hip-hop. On a grassroots levels it seems no one cares for trance or that kinda stuff. However, who plays at Guvernment? Tiesto, Oakenfold, Armin... haha. And that place is packed. I think it Toronto the suburbs also play into it, cause the city is sprawling like nobody's business, but the club district is confined to a tiny space downtown, and unless someone big is coming into town it's like people won't make the effort.

I don't know about that.. it seems to me that it is more of the mainstream now and techno, house and dnb would be considered the UG.. For example, you can go to a city like NY or Toronto and hear trance all over the radio. It has been this way for a long time in Europe. The biggest clubs in the world (ala Ibiza, etc) cater to trance. Mainstream artists like brittney and the like are having trance remixes made of their songs.. Not sure if I would consider all this "going again into the underground"
and before people start flaming me... NO I don't have an issue with trance.. this is just MY opinion, that is all.. AND yes, I am sure there are trance artists that are not selling out to the mainstream, but the genre as a whole has pretty much gone that way (and I don't necessarily see this as a bad thing either)

trance was my first love. it has gotten more and more popular in radio and such (trust me) but think about this. Brighton is the UKs club capitol (more clubs per square mile then any other city in the UK). your looking at like 60-70 clubs in a city that you can drive across in 15 minutes. almost none of them are playing trance. yes, some of the bigger clubs are playing trance, but house is becoming a staple, if not the staple, of real clubs.

Boywonder, I don't disagree with you, as I had a tough time finding trance in smaller places in TO... but I've
never
heard it on the radio. Canada's radio is flooded with rock and hip hop, and not a lot else.

I am surprised to hear that.. as I mentioned it has been a while, but I remember there were 3 stations that used to play a lot of trance. In fact Dr Trance hosted a show on one of them for years, I think maybe it was CFNY? On the way to the events.. I can remember driving on the QEW and tuning in to hear interviews with the DJ's that would be headlining the biggest party of the weekend and thinking how cool it was that EDM was on the radio in Canada when we were stuck with numerous crappy classic rock stations back in the states.

Fascinating. Maybe it changed... or maybe I missed out. I left in August, lived there for the past 8 years. Not a peep. Who knows...

You're probably thinking of either Energy 108 (also known as Dance 108 in the early years) or 103.5FM...Dr. Trance did his "Dr. Trance Radio Hour" show on one, or both (and he was on CFNY too in some capacity at some point), but he migrated to online radio about ten years ago.
Energy 108 changed formats and I haven't listened to 103.5 in a dog's age, but it's true, on Saturday nights you could hear him interview the major DJs that were in town to play at that night's Destiny rave or what have you.
Hearing dance music played at all hours on the radio was amazing. Dance 108 was the first place I heard "The Age of Love" on the air.
Now the less said about, say, Electric Circus, the better, but more often than not they also had major headlining DJs playing (or pretending to play).
As an aside, I still listen to old John E and Nivoc tapes I bought at X-Static back in the day...great stuff...

Nice! I still cast longing glances at the nondescript-looking door on John Street and the bare signpost overhead whenever I'm downtown.
