just wanted to let everyone know 261 W. 36th Street – 2nd Floor (betw. 7th & 8th Ave) New York, NY 10018

i was there and personally think it wasnt worth time, money, or effort!!! i thought canadian govenrment was more lenient towards raves and such. however, when I got there, parking was FAR FAR AWAY, and considering it was a 3-day event, we had to drag food, water AND tents/blankets all the way from the lot. there could be much said to describe it even worse... My conclusion: all of the above+Near shutdown+No-show of either Nostrum or Fergie(i wanted to see them the most)=NEVER AGAIN

i was there, and personally, I think PVD could have done much better. I expected a much harder set. Besides, why the hell would he play "Rapture" if Scott Henry played it 10 minutes before?! All that + No coat check + $35 cover = not worth it

3DOPOBO BCEM! Stan here > Just got back from Radiate in DC, damn its been a crazy weekend: S&D@Cipriani, Oakey@Hammerstein, DeepDish@Buzz, then PVD@Radiate > I AM DEAD

well, someone told us it was that Danny ******* guy. Does DJ Renegade spin that kind of stuff?

I gotta question: Did anyone go to see Scot Project in Tunnel? There was a guy closing for him, I am trying to remember his name, Danny Marinello or something like that... he played a lot of tunes sounding like hard trance with Italian or Jewish themes. This guy was totally crazy, and Project sounded like a Sesame Street compared to him. Does anyone know? PS. I didnt say they are Arab, I said they are Arab-looking. Besides, Iranian and Arab is not much difference. Muslim is muslim. Personally, I dont care for either, as long as are not gonna 9-11 my ass...

Yeah, I know what you mean, bigpoppanils. When I went to London this May, we went to Fabric, and it was crazy! First time ever did I hear Jungle played on the main floor, here its only at raves. And everyone was going crazy to the beat. It was something!!! Tribal: I totally understand what you're saying, Hard House totally has no melody, theme... however, its not trance, not melodic house - its not supposed to have melody. It is music for the body, together with jungle, d&b, happy hardcore and few others. So you cant compare them. Its like a classical music fan would listen to house and say - "this is not music, music has to have piano, violin, blah blah blah" Get my drift?

Just to let you know, that IS what they call progressive house. DT spins tribal, and JP dont even know what, "K-head anthems" may be. They call it Hard-House, but in no way Hard-House it is. Hard House is BK, Fergie, Andy C, and so on... JP spins "Stranger in my house" bullshit with some heavier baseline. Besides, this post was "The DJ that surprised me the most" not "the DJ that provides me with some shit to listen to on Saturday nite because I am too ignorant to open my mind to other music"

For me it has to be Deep Dish. I've always been a trance fan, but lately I've started to listen to more and more prog house, Howells, Burridge, and so on. I heard a couple of their mixes and they were "ok". Some time ago I read somewhere that they think Trance is crap and that Hardhouse DJ should be shot. Being a fan of both styles, together with the fact that they are Arab-looking, I hated their guts. But when I went to see the in Centro-Fly, I was just blown away...they were amazing!!!

...unless you're married to the guy

I thought of a situation: I was totally crazy about a girl some time ago, we were seeing each other. At the same time there was a lot of girls I met who I thought were hot, but I didnt care, because I only wanted her. I guess they could be just my friends... Unfortunately feelings like that dont last, so as soon as I broke up with her, all those girl came out of "friends" category... It kind of does not make sense and sounds pathetic, but if you think about it its true.

Oakenfold is tomorrow

my opinion is, and its only from the male side: they can be friends(and I mean good friends - those who can hang out together and ask each other for advice) if they are not attracted to each other. That means that the only female friend a guy can have is either busted in the face or someone they've already had their share of. But look at it this way, if they are busted, why would you wanna hang out with them, even in a group of people? Am I wrong here?

I agree, Oakenfold might have gotten a little worse, but he is still the man. He has achieved everything a DJ can achieve in his lifetime. What would you have done if you were him? I mean, you already have tonn of money and people will come to your gig no matter what you spin. Of course, I do respect him less for the fact that that he plays the same shit over and over again. However, its bullshit to say that he cant mix or beatmatch, he just does it differently. I am no DJ, but I like the way he does it and I dont think he would have made it so big if he couldnt do it. I am not talking about the fact that he's got the best feel for the music. For example, Nat Monday"Waiting" being played by everyone from S&D to Deep Dish and Howells was first played by him.

too complicated to explain... for short, its Russian name written in English letters, pronounced Staska. my full name is Stanislav, but everyone calls me Stan

It WAS sold(to Flatiron Entertainment), and it WAS going to be turned into something like that. But I guess they changed their mind and decided they'll make more money by keeping it as a club.

i'll be there right after PVD comes on

well, if you meant it as cute, then thanx and sorry for being a little obnoxious. i though schmo means something like "moron"

does anyone else consider "schmo" cute here? the only other time i heard it was from my boss at work when I mess something up...and i dont think that is the time to call me "cute" names... ps. my boss is male/straight so i dont think "cute" is appropriate here even if i didnt fuck up. ps2. this thread is for "Go" not for discussing whether "schmo" is cute or not!!!

i never rejected the fact that God might be a female, but its definately not you... i looked at a few posts of yours and have a question for you, "Are you having suicidal thoughts often?"

i agree, both...I already got my tix for both. however, if I had to choose I, I'd go for Oakey. why? 1. Oakey's $40 vs. S&D $60 2. Went for Trancegiving last year, and it was my best clubnight ever. 3. Its $60, plus the drinks at Cipriani's are gonna be $10+ 4. S&D are gonna have a residency in NYC soon. 5. ...may be I just like Oakey more...

phuturephunk: thats how deanna describes herself (just read the "groping in clubs" thread) deanna11: i am not being defensive, just dont like the word...

first, why are you always so negative? second, why are you beign so rude? is it because you are "...diesel and ugly..."?

Anyone heard of/been to a lounge "Go"? Need some reviews...

my ass! what kind of release party if PVD is not even gonna be there?
