chalky Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Anyone who is into trance & progressive there is a new trance event called "transcend" - it's 2nd event will be held at Bijou on whiteladies rd on Friday 22nd November. Free entry. With a 3rd event planned for Pranj's bar corn street on Fri 20th December. Vaguely recall some posters on here on "music threads" saying they listened to trance. So if like me, you miss having Trance on your doorstep (and having to travel to London) please get behind this. Search for "transcend bristol" on facebook...

BristolCity1992 Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 I used to love trance but have drifted more to techno and drum and bass in recent years. Would love to come to one of these but what are the venues like? What sort of crowd does Bijous attract? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chalky Posted November 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Yeah a lot of people started with trance and have drifted. Well the Bijou venue can't really comment cause I've not been before. It's opposite dorma - one of those underground clubs. Capacity of 95 so quite small - anyone can hire it out for free and supply there own DJs. So that's what the lads at transcend have done. Not sure what sorts of crowds it attracts but apparently the first trance night there last month was reasonably well attended. The xmas event )20th Dec) is at the old BSB on corn street - now called Pranj's bar. Much bigger venue and apparently similar to how the BSB used to look like.

BristolCity1992 Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Fair enough, I like the sound of the Bijou place will try and check it out if I have the money. I couldn't find the page on facebook. There is still a lot of good trance out there, I really like the sound that J00F erc are pushing and the likes of Askew, Bryan Kearney etc. Will be good to see a trance night in Bristol as I think the last one I went to was probably at the Syndicate before they changed their booking policy. Although I've been to some good Psy trance nights here. Thank you for the heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Club and Country Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 House and deep house for me. Banjax all the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith_Lemon Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 I'll be there for that. Will have to email the club to see if I can get a set there. Trance has changed dramatically over the last 10 years. Only Above and Beyond have stayed to their roots and still euphoric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was playing pretty hard trance whereas I prefer uplifting/progressive. Turns out Bijou is now closing the day after the Transcend event so it's going to be the closing party aswell! Used to go to all the Godskitchen events at Syndies - such a shame they've stopped doing them! Don't think I've seen Kearney or Jon 00 Flemming but I know Kearney has played at Trance Sanctuary in London a couple of times and I'm going to start going to the gigs regularly in the new year so it won't be long before I see him. Add me on facebook "Joe White" and I'll add you to the group and event(s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsince1994 Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Anyone recommend some decent trance to get in to. Trying to expand my musical horizons, recently discovered the joys of electro house and glitch hop. Only trance I've ever experienced has been psytrance at tribal frog events.

Ben nicky is a city fan Used to go in the east end Really? Spoke to him at the door at Brunel Rooms. If I knew this would of had a longer convo. Anyone recommend some decent trance to get in to. Trying to expand my musical horizons, recently discovered the joys of electro house and glitch hop. Only trance I've ever experienced has been psytrance at tribal frog events. Trance has changed so much over the last 10 years. Still some really good stuff coming out though. I would advise you to check out the likes of Above & Beyond, Scott Bond, Signum, Lange, Simon Patterson, Armin Van Buuren, Alex Morph, John Askew, Markus Schulz, Judge Jules, Paul Van Dyk etc. So so many it's hard to think of them straight of the top of your head.

Start with Above and Beyond's free weekly podcast - a list of previous episodes can be here; http://www.aboveandbeyond.nu/radio/episodes. What I'm loving recently is Andrew Bayer's set at Ally Pally which Keith_Lemon was at - https://soundcloud.com/andrewbayer/andrew-bayer-group-therapy-050. The track at 18 mins is one of the best I've heard in a while.

bcfcbs20 Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 I was well in to my trance there were loads of good places that smashed out some amazing stuff I've been lucky and seen all these live Judge Jules, Sasha, Yomanda, Ferry Corsten, Tiesto, Paul Oakenfold and a load more I can't remember. One by one though all the places stopped playing decent trance and there was nowhere local you could listenn to decent trance and it's still like it now. I still listen to a load a trance but if I go out it's to house nights the house secene in Bristol is like what the trance scence used to be like years ago. One of my all time favourite trance tunes the amount of times I used to be off my tits amazed by this tune every time I heard it haha ******* good times.

I trust you will be attending transcend to help the Bristol scene go back to what it used to be like then? What a tune by the way - have heard before but not for a long time. I'm sure the guys at transcend would play this one for you if you attended.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akira Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Finally trance is back in Bristol, should be a decent night, small venue, which I always find best! The Xmas gig sounds decent, but as long as they don't play proper commercial crap like van buurens latest 'hit' then I'll be there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there's much danger in them playing commercial crap judging by some of the mixes from the DJs on their facebook page and group! Maybe some old school classics thrown in such as Blank & Jones - Cream which I can't get enough of since bcfcbs20 posted the link! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
