  1. They Djed seperately and if memory serves me I think they did a tag team too, although this may have been when DT spun with Digweed. The dump was also PACKED (way beyond capacity), but it was still awse. I've gotten to hear CC many times, and he rocks every time. Carl Cox is one of the best, hardest DJs on the planet. He once spun at Twilo when they had the booth when it was near the ramp to the bathrooms. I watched him play for a while and damn if that fucker didn't have FOUR records all slamming at the same time. He is Incomparable.
  2. BTW, I found it, but little info more tha an address. Will definitely keep looking into it. Thanks a lot for the info. azo
  3. Brilliant is not the word! 'Roll' in fantastic and incredible and you get the idea. I ADORE that city. Trade did a few parties (way) back in the day @ Twilo back when Danny (and then Jr.) was there. They were awesome. 1st one was in the upstairs room (the one turned into coat check) and then downstairs. They also tried one at the end of last June (Gay Pride weekend) on Sunday starting at 12 noon until 8. I went at 2 pm and there were only about 8 people there. NO EXAGERATION. They ended it at 3pm. Luckily, I knew the cashier and got in free. It was a disaster and they will probably never come back soon. :-( I send them emails everynow and then begging anyway. LOL But, if you can listen to music on your computer, check out this URL and click on the "Click HERE for our FREE Broadband Hi-Fi mp3 Live Broadcast (128K/ADSL/T1)" near the top. http://hardhouse.aromadome.com/ Be prepared for HARD house! THAT is what I am fucking talking about!!!!
  4. Did anyone else go? What did you think? I was at both. Thought Trade was brilliant, but my friend thought it was pants. LOL. I might have been living my past glories there; been a Trade Baby since the early 90's when FF was still there on Sunday and before it was relaced by Warriors. Also went to Egg, in the little shuttle bus. That was fun. Nice place, never been before. Good music, great friendly crowd. :-)
  5. Got there Friday night, but didn't go out. Just hung out and partied with friends and went pub hopping until dawn. Yes, there are places to do that in London despite most closing at 11pm. Saturday dfi much of the same and started to get ready to go out around 2 or 3 am, Sunday morning. Easter morning I went to a Trade One-off at Turnmills. It opened at 5:30 AM on Easter and went until 2pm. Two of the DJs were Malcolm Duffy (one of my favourites since Tony DeVit died)Gonzalo, Pete Wardman, and Rachel Auburn (a relative newcomer). I forget the others. I was on the floor for 6 straight hours and I was definitely communing with god for most of that. Runner's high? How about dancer's high! :-) After that they had a shuttle bus to the offical Trade after party at Egg (a new club in King's Cross run by Lawrence Malice who does Trade). They had some brilliant DJs there too, including Rachel Auburn (again). I was at that one from 2:30pm until almost 7:30pm. Nice place too, 3 floors, and an outdoor garden space. When I got home (my friend's flat/apartment in London where I stay in Soho), my feet were reduced to bloody stumps. It didn't stop me from trying to go out again that night though. I went to Orange at the newly renovated Fridge in Brixton. The music was WAY too slow for me and very overcrowded, but the new place was nice. The most amazing part were these two podium about 6 feet by 6 feet and 7 or 8 feet high that every now and then would blow off 10 foot flumes of FIRE. Can't imagine that happening in NYC! I was blown away. Too bad the music sucked. Stayed there from 1am or so until 7 am anyway, but then I had to go home and get my bags for my 12 noon flight. Great time overall. :-)
  6. Can you (or anyone) give me some more info on this one? It wasn't in the club lists on here (I couldn't find it anyway). Thanks!
  7. Hi all, I wonder if anyone I know from the beginnings are still here. LOL. Anyway, I have a question. I want to know if there are any decent NYC clubs left. I just got back from a whirlwind weekend of dancing and clubbing and really miss not having it at my back door. Let me explain what I love about London clubs and then tell me if there's anything in NYC like it. 1. The music is faster with few vocals. 150-180 BPM. (JP comes close.) 2. The clubs are very polysexual, meaning everyone mixes and no one wants to start a fight with you just for looking at them or their date. 3. You don't get strip searched at the door. (I know I probably won't find this anywhere in NYC). 4. Everyone is up for it, feeling the music groove, and Enjoying being in a room full of clubbErs fEEling the same thing, if you know what I mEan. :-) 5. You can do almost anything you want. Anywhere. (I know I probably won't find this anywhere in NYC either). Anyone know of ANYTHING like that? DT at arc has been pretty close too, but that's closing soon. HELP!
  8. Long time since I've been here!! I always hate this type of question cuz it makes me feel old, which I am, relatively, biologically, but not at heart. I started clubbing at discos (like stuido 54 at 14 years old with a fake id), then rock clubs, then techno clubs. The 80's did have a lot of 80's music clubs, but they also had some great hard house and techno clubs too. The main difference was that it seemed like more fun. Cheaper (in today's dollars), easier to get in, and wilder. People dressed UP more, not dressed nice necessarily, but wild and crazy. Everone was WACKED and doing their "thing" everywhere. It was after the Limelight debacle that bought it all crashing down. Cracks downs on overcrowding, fines for people doing things out in the open. Etc. I feel privileged to have lived through it. And, it is amazing I did survive it. LOL. P.S. I'm posting a new thread about good clubs in NYC now. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate they give it a read and reply. azo
