1. Yeah, I went to Global Gathering two years ago, and there is a few of us (me and my mates) considering going again this year.
2. Every couple of years - if by "mass rave" you mean festivals, etc?

4. Go with friends.
5. Mixed but I'd say there were a few more boys than girls.
6. Music (watch/listen to good Djs), out eith friends... the atmosphere is something that is there because of the people and the DJ - it is important.
7. Yes.
8. Yes.
9. There isnt a preferance, and Im not addicted, every now and again me and my mates 'do drugs'. Id never take them off a stranger and only with people I trust.
10. See above.
11. All of them.
12. No, thinking about the potential effects makes you feel those effects, you have to forget you've taked them, and carry on with your night for a good result or in alot of cases, no result at all.
13. Less than half.


1. Yes.
2. Yes.
3. It was my first music style, but now I listen and embrace everything...
4. Im 19 now, and I got into trance when I was 11/12 - so about seven years.
5. Heard 'Gouryella - Gouryella' on an advert, went and bought some CDs, never looked back! Got my turntables when I was 15.
6. Home and clubs. Depends what you call trance though I guess!?
7. Buy records, download, buy CDs, see the DJs!
8. Certain feelings, but mainly a sense of understanding - good productions are clever and I need 'trance' like all my music to be clever and envoke emotion...
