As some of you following the @ilovetrance account on Twitter will know, I started talking about how I was to bring something to you Twitter Tweeters on Tuesday. So in all its glory I announce ‘TranceTuesday’, or in Twitter speak – #trancetuesday

EDIT: Below is the original post made where I intended that Twitter users spread the word of up and coming DJs and artists. Many users were recommending known artists, so in a later post I suggested that people do just that and recommend whoever they like. I will be trying my hardest still to seek out new people in the scene for you all to listen to though.
What is Trance Tuesday?

TranceTuesday is an opportunity for you to make at least one tweet that informs your followers of a new DJ/artist/producer. Look at it as our own take on FollowFriday, but aimed specifically at us helping what we truely enjoy, rather than an internet marketing ploy of gaining more followers

For more on FollowFriday please look at this article… #FollowFriday: The Anatomy of a Twitter Trend
I understand that there is a @newmusictuesday as I did some research seeing if there was already a Trance Tuesday. They cover a spectrum of music though and not aiming at any particular genre from what I can see.

So what do I do on TranceTuesday?

You simply send a tweet about your newly discovered talented DJ/artist/producer!

It can be their username on Twitter, but a much better way of supporting your new found person(s) would be an legite link also to their production or demo mix I’m sure you’ll agree! (Please do not condone filesharing, send your followers to official download sites to pay for the artists work, support the scene!)

The aim is then that your followers who also like your find, will listen to said track or mix and retweet if they like it. You have then helped create a new fanbase and contributed to the scene. I would like to think you focus primarily at up and coming DJs/artists/producers. It is not that I have anything against the likes of Tiesto, Paul van Dyk, etc. I just love good trance music and finding new hidden gems, as I’m sure you do too!

I was deciding between Thursday or Tuesday as you may recall. The reason I decided on Tuesday is as follows:

1. Thursday everyone is looking towards the weekend, not back to last weekend as they do on say a Tuesday. The conversation would be more focused on the forthcoming headliner, rather than the DJ who shined in the back room at 4am.
2. It gives you a chance to recover after the Monday blues when returning back to your Mon-Fri 9-5 routine (if applicable to you

So I announce today as the first TranceTuesday! I hope you all love the idea and take part!

Follow me on Twitter to see who I recommend each TranceTuesday! @ilovetrance
