F2uck knows what people have in mind since there is a serious lack of interaction with the punters/ravers...

it sucks so much how there is such a small market for this kind of music in hk. promoters just arent going to spend money on events if they arent gona make a big profit.
sum how we need to get more ppl to like electronic music

But how do you propose to convert the "cool" hip-hopers to trance addicts. Personally you can get around it by offering free events and pushing the local product to higher level.... Plus cd-boys are so out....
Plus clandestine advertizing and flyer giving is a dead art here... :smt009 I m amazed that nightclubs still have electronic music at all... I m up to help out that is willing to help the trance/techno movement in HK...

You can't MAKE someone like a particular genre of music, even if you push it on them.

Music is to be appreciated, If you give it a try, fair do's, but you'll never have the same repect for it and thus not appreciate it!! On the other hand you might acually switch someone over (not likely) and it won't be me (for example) :smt003

somehow it's easier to convert rockers to like electronic dance music. they seem to find it easier to accept this genre. i used to play in a band before i got into edm. so did some of my friends who i eventually brought them to their first party/rave. maybe they have more of an open mind than hiphopers in general? i mean i know a lot of hiphopers who go to 'raves' but they never get really really into edm. they are just kinda there doing their thing.... most of them don't really help building the vibe.

Personally i would rather have a small gathering of hardcore ravers than 10000 hip-hops staring at each other thinking WTF...

Personally, I started with classical...

If you ask me the best way to expose people to dance music is through radio.
Its what got me and possibly thousands of others interested. It doesn't even have to be a whole show with dedacated to dance music just a few more commercial friendly tracks.
Then its really up to you to advertise and put on small dance nites in clubs and try and attract clubbers.

The keen and lovers of the sound I'm sure will keep coming back. The majority I'm sure you'll probably never see again! :smt016

Always think small and let thing grow organically. The majority of promoters in Hong Kong are probably cashing in trying to make a quick dollar or two from trends in the west.
