^but keep in mind , that above and beyond was an exception
at all the other events there we LOTS of ppl dancing and partying
i myself wasnt dancing , cuz of what happened at the door , i completely lost my mood ...

i think its too early for a psy scene to happen here , there is one ,a very small one thanxs to psycult mainly ...

the scene will grow and become bigger and better .. its just a matter of time
the present scene we have now is amazing ... considering that it majorly improved in 2005 despite the current political situation and security problem

it's not healthy.
no, advertising is not doing good for the scene and it shouldn't be
increased.
a healthy scene is not with more people showing up, it's with the quality of
those showing up: what's the point having 10,000 at a given gig when only
2000 of them knows what they're at? advertising doesn't do any good for
the scene, it only does in terms of profit for the organizers.

a good scene must:

1- have round-the-weekend gigs at separate places. that'll mean u don't
have to wait a whole month for a good international DJ gig when u got
local talents across the city spinning what the big ones might spin. this will
educate people to EDM, because it's not a massive event with ads on TV,
radio, and in the streets, but it'll bring up regulars to the club, recognition
to the local resident DJ, and knowledge to the EDM they're listening to.
provide options: u want house - club X, u want Trance - club Z, u want
breaks - club Y.. and so on..
eventually those clubs can then get well known for their good music and
DJs and can themselves afford getting internationals every now and then.

2- when u bang the country with advertising for one international gig,
you're pulling out whomever knows and doesn't know about music, the
'cool and hip wanabes', and those not having a clue. this damages the
scene. if we want the scene to grow properly in lebanon, music
ignorants should be educated or demolished from big-shot events. if it was
a word of mouth event, then trust me: it won't be lot of people, but it'll be
much more the fun and general clubbing experience. how great is it to
know that people around u are all aware of this music? have all been
listening to it for a long time? know the twists and turns in the playlists and
the DJs. International DJs in leb are making much more money than they
do in europe or other spots, because there's no competition... multi line-
ups, different clubs in the same city offering way more styles than what
that DJ can offer.. this will even make prices less than what they are..

3- more support for the talents will reduce the (sometimes) unnecessary
over-hype about international DJs. If Amadeus, maDJam, or other locals
are spinning what AvB, Corsten, Deep Dish, Sasha or any others' music..
then why the hype about having a big DJ? I'm sure some of you enjoyed a
local event at sometime throughtout the year more than Tiesto or PvD or
.. any other big DJ.. it's not about idolizing the DJ: he does his job, gets
paid, turns back and leave. his music is what stays and does the damage,
and if that music was delivered by locals (at even a better level) then why
bring him over?

make some local Beirut Festival.. local line-up.. local DJs.. reasonable
prices and advertise if u want: u'd still get a few thousands but they
bothered showing up for the music & not the DJ. THEN people will start
liking the DJ.

^ WORD!

absolutely behind you all the way..

I have to agree with genesis,, what he said was sure convincing..

Ba3den that would mean more Trance events

Genesis said it all! I particularly nod my head to:
