Yeah i totally understand ppls point of view on the same tunes etc and whinging clubbers.....

But u still gotta take into account the population of some of those countries.Where talking over 60 million i would say in Germay and 50 in England.

Also the funny thing is when trying to id tracks from the Dublin mixes as we call them.It's still very hard to get them id's on discogs etc.Which contain alot of european members and some English.I geuss we just had a different scene over here.Just a point that might be relevent.

Also just wondering u might have more knowledge than me on this.What was the jungle/break beat scene like in Germany and other European countiers for that matter back in the early 90's...

There are far more genres, that don't get a mention, other than breakbeat & jungle. I wasn't talking about that at all, in case you think i'm having a go here, because i'm not. I'm merely stating what i've seen through the years, as a clubber myself. All that Trance came from Germany the majority of times. You hardly think Oliver Lieb, PVD etc, were making tunes, just to put out on the Irish market do ya? The fact of the matter is, although we (Ireland) have had some dance acts through the years, the majority of the music came from Europe. With all those countries, with those huge huge populations, that have had such an impression, on this small nation, do you not think other stiles should have dripped through? That's all i'm trying to say here. Just seems odd to me, that 2 specific genres, have ruled the roost here, for so long, when there is an utter wealth of music, that hardly gets a look in.

No Sean i don't think your having a go at all.We are merely expressing are views.:D

Yes there certianly are far more genres that don't get a mention.I'm just trying to understand why the scene over here was restricted in terms of the genres and styles played.It's just my view tha population has a big effect on it.

I think also you must take into account the logistics (for want of a better word...lol).I would say alot off ppl traveled throughout mainland Europe and maybe even to England checking out the various renound clubs.Likewise ppl from Irealnd traveling to England to check out the raves and clubs over there.But i would doubt there would have been a big culture of pppl traveling to Ireland to check out the big clubs here :eek:
possibly a select amount.

I'm sure the same could have bben said for the DJ's and music they brought in.I'm sure there were alot of DJ's in England and mainland Europe visiting and playing trading there styles of music etc.Therefore more of a chance of the different styles being spread.How many DJ's from Irealnd traveled,probably a select few.So hence the reason we only had limited styles/genres.More generates more i suppose.Just my view anyways does'nt mean it correct...:D

By the way i don't really get the point your trying to make here

You hardly think Oliver Lieb, PVD etc, were making tunes, just to put out on the Irish market do ya?

explainn please....:D

You said in the post above, that "We just had a different scene over here", but in fact we really relied on Europe, as most of those big tunes, came from Europe. Which is why i stated "You hardly think Oliver Lieb, PVD etc, were making tunes, just to put out on the Irish market do ya?"
