[rant] I don't nomally post, but something is starting to bother me. I'd first like to say that in no way am i bashing NJ dj's, but the music these clubs/lounges are playing are wack. I was actually pretty good friends with a DJ who used to post here. He told me it sucks that he can't play the music he wanted to, he had to play this bs they tell him to. I'm not gonna be name dropper, but he had a show on metromix, where he was allowed to play what ever he wanted. His track selection/mixing was flawless and was always droppin' some dope beats. tech-house and acid house is not played around here. NJ is yet to have a place where they play different kinds of house music. A place with no dress code, where you can go in sneakers and sweat pants and just dance. I know a place like this could work because i know theres actullaly people who go just to listen to good music. imagine that? going to a club specifally for a dj you like? I know there's some nice eye candy and all, but it shouldn't be the only reason to goto a club. wether you'll admit it or not, majority of the people go to flaunt their shit and or get laid. If you don't believe that, then you're lying to yourself. And believe me, there's no problem with that. But come on, every single place is the same. there's no variety. There needs to be an alternative. There needs to be a spot where world reknown DJ's can come. Alot of the hardcore music fans think Johnathan Peters is the best DJ. I can understand that, he has his momements. But outside NY he's nobody. He didn't even make the best 100 in the world. (according to DJMag.com) I know this post is long and boring, but i wish 1 of the promoters would bring a big DJ here. I dunno if any of yous heard of vinyl/arc in the city. They were in business for about 14 years before they lost the building. They never had a liquor license. yes thats right, did not serve alcohol... They didn't need it. They were bringing in the best Dj's in the world there and no one could compete with the big name djs. Who's DJing to me is the most important ingredient to having a good time, and im sure other people feel that way. Now the same promotion team that was at arc does alot of the promotions at spirit [madeevents]. It might cost a little more [cover charge] but i'm sure it'd pay off in the long run, and bring alot of real music heads actually into NJ clubs. [/rant]
