I wouldn't say it's dead everywhere. Any nights I go to in the UK are pretty busy, DS in Leeds, Rong in Manchester and OTR in Sheffield have all been busy when I've been recently. Looking forward to Majefa in Manchester next week tooUnfortunately the days of everyone being into trance though are long gone as a lot of peoples music tastes have moved on
Looking forward to OTR next week, they've been pretty spot on so far with their parties (and I'm biased, I spent most of the last holiday with one of the promoters and will spend the rest of the next one with the group as well

Not so keen on DS anymore, it's not been as busy recently, and the crowd are getting a bit more 'vestish'

Trance certainly wasnt dead in Cream last night, it looked packed for Emery and PVD! Driftwood is cool, worth checking out if you wanna do a boat while you are here. I liked ASOT too but after Armin everyone left which really killed the party for me. Maybe trance works best now in places like Digital Society where everyone is part of the same family and its like 1000 mates?!
Emery isn't what I'd call Trance these days, much more of an electro / house sound. (Not mocking it, as I do really rate GE ). Highly recommend Driftwood, was a surprise of the holiday just gone!
Trance nights these days only attract crowds if big names are on. The middle and lower tier names struggle to pull a crowd by themselves.
