really though montreal is not about dark psy, it's about twilight psy... slight difference

the reason morning trance isn't played as much anymore is because it hasn't progressed at all in the last ten years... Infected Mushroom essentially created and killed the style all in their psy-life span, which has been over for 5 years now. A few artists copied them, pushed it a lil' further, but all morning psy released right now is like, identical. take hopeku for example... he's a quebec artist that makes some really good morning psy, but it sounds exactly like morning psy from 8 years ago, so it's like, ok you're good, 8 years ago.
But a rave is a rave, if you want to sit back and relax to smooth slower music, and get taken on a trip through elaborate melodies, go home at 5am and do that, you don't need a huge pumping system for that... psy-raves... in my opinion, do their best to accommodate the people who want to dance, and dance hard for a good 4-5 hours while flowing reasonably within the times and vibes Ann described...
AND the problem with melodies Ann, is that melodies are a lot harder to like, a set full of melodies will send most people home cause not everyone has the same taste and most people will just not 'dig' it... again, let's be realistic, people will come together and agree on a sound when it's pretty ambiguous, anything too precise (lots of melody) will really just be an exercise in how long it takes to clear the dancefloor... people, especially high people, are NOT going to wait for a song they like, if they truly dislike a beat, they are probably going to think about leaving, period. you know, one track you like, the next one you don't and so on means you really dislike the DJ. But a song you love, and then an OK song, well people will stick around for that...

Also morning psy is gay, since raves are 75% guys, and guys don't like gay melodies unless they're on E.... you get the result of psy parties today.
