There are like 7-8 clubs in Pleasure Island, definitely NOT 15. The "hottest" club there is Mannequins, which is indeed 21+ on all nights, no exceptions. The other "hot" club is B.E.T. Soundstage, which might be 21+ as well (can't remember). That leaves you with a club that plays Top 40 music, another that mainly plays Retro 70s and 80s, another frequented mainly by 16 year olds and features a band doing cover songs of rock anthems, a comedy club, and ummm some Blues or Country music club. Copish so far? K,thx Over at Citywalk you have The Groove, which is 21+ according to Universal's own website: http://www.universalorlando.com/cw_entertainment.html What type of music are you and your friends looking to find? The clubs in Orlando mainly play Mainstream Hip Hop or Breakbeats.

I listen to Trance, and have never owned a pair of glowsticks. Then again I've never been raped by monkeys, hence why I don't listen much to Sedatedcoast House

Hey Philippo, stick to your snoozecoast House BTW, Blank & Jones also produce a lot of Ambient music, and I've gotta say it's some of the best in the genre.

Close: Piet Blank & Jaspa Jones

Ummm, if you follow the arrows, you can see that the female stopped in just about every store in the mall before hitting The Gap. Hence it stands to reason our little lady friend did not spend most of that money at Gap

LMFAO! That was hysterical. He man was especially funny, LOL "Duuuuude!"

Check out the free mixes from Armin, Markus, M.I.K.E., Gabriel & Dresden, Perry O'neal, etc. http://supra.armadamusic.nl/mixes/

Oh man, there is nothing like a good Scot Project mix to get you going The energy level is outta hand, and as always Frank (Scot Project) knows just the right tunes to mix in.

Yup, the Red Hot Chilli Peppers rock.

Exactly! It's a simple game of supply and demand. limiting how much Tiesto makes a night is like limiting how much Madonna or Coldplay can make a night in their concerts. Koky, I do understand what you're saying - I guess when DJs spend too much of their time on planes going to clubs halfway around the world from each other, the quality of the set can go down (the DJs are exhausted). Still, everbody just wants to book them day after day, offering them insane amounts of money, and in the process some DJs don't have as much time to hear new music, and to practice how to mix in their newer records flawlessly into their sets. Sasha somewhat solved that problem by taking on residencies (allowing him to stay in one place), and using Ableton (so as to avoid tranwrecks). Still, Miami would have been worse if Tiesto and PVD weren't booked at all, as promoters might not then also be enticed take a chance on some of the local Miami Trance talent. And it's comforting to know that whether Metropolis succeeds with high turnouts for the great Trance DJs it's booked, that PVD and Tiesto will still be coming back to Miami in the coming years. PS don't forget that Space has now also booked Ferry Corsten a few times. His sets always rock!

Ouch! Whats wrong with PVD and Tiesto? Both are top DJs, with top productions, and well thought out sets. They both know how to deliver. Remember, Paul Van Dyk was one of the first DJs to ever play Trance in South Florida - and that was back in like 93. Also, few towns can lay claim to have had Tiesto as a quarterly resident, and Miami was lucky enough to have that. Part of Tiesto's success is due to his successful sets at Space, which were attended by club kids from all over the US, and South America. And who are the rest of the "cheese crew"? The only other guys to really play Trance in Miami in the past year were your boy Eric, and Edgar V. Okay and george Acosta too, who by the way had his latest record played a lot by DJs, like Judge Jules. It's truly great that Metropolis is stepping up and bringing a lot of other quality Trance acts/DJs, but there's no need to bash the few that have up till now helped keep Trance on the radar in Miami.

Excellent lineup

Philippo does have a point. Will the city get rid of the bums in the area? The city has to clean up the area, especially if they want to redevelop Overtown. There's a lot of underground drug activity going on over there. And since only part of Overtown will be redeveloped who's to say the poor folks living in the ghetto part won't try and commit robbery or murder over on the wealthy side? After all, being jobless or homeless tends to bring out the worst in people... From what I see in the plans, Downtown Miami's ambitious designs are based on places such as Ybor City in Tampa, Times Square in New York, The Riverwalk area in San Antonio, the classic city centers you see in South America or Europe, and of course Miami's own South Beach and Coconut Grove. The question is, can they pull it all off, and how long will it take for the area to truly transform into the vibrant Downtown shown in the different sketches.

Would be nice if this also meant the end of Communism in Cuba. I remember in the mid to late 80s how the media was excited with rock acts playing in the USSR, and a few years later the Soviet Union collapsed. Anyways, are you sure Little Havana is the best location for Audioslave?
