  8. We move this party to different venues each time we have one and as you can see from the pics, its all about people coming out and dancing thier butts off to some good tunes.

Peak time could be all night long again depending on what you like. Theres samples of music by the djs to download and listen in the first post.

  9. Im really trying not to INSTIGATE anything at all really. What this thread was about when i made it a while back was for people who are new to this culture/scene, and for people who are thinkin about getting into it and for those who have been ONLY to parties where everyone is a"gudio" type. Im not saying theres something wrong. But what im noticing alot is people who are 18-20 yrs old basically NEW to the parties go to the first party that lets them in and sees all these guys n gals dancing the same, and so he/she figures thats how everyone dances and this is how everyone dresses and acts at parties ALL OVER THE CITY. So the cycle continues over and over and people never see things on the other side. Now find a "GUIDO SHUFFLE" video that you think is great and put it up on this thread and that goes for anyone,im not stopping anyone from putting up their stuff. And on youtube those were all the videos could find on "guido shuffle". So sorry rhythmofvision if ive upset ya somehow with my video posting, BUT it wasnt to offend it was to SHOW the difference between dancing styles and cultures which some people dont even know exist. Again i will use a HIP HOP example imagine what people in their 30s and even some younger are thinkin about the music that is being made over the past 10 yrs or so. And what they feel the rappers themselves and the audience is like compared to when they were growing up. Then think about hip hops golden age 1975-1995, and it is totally different music,attitude and culture. So every new fan or generation that gets into that music wont know anything other than this bullshit hip hop music that is out now.
  10. HMMM you raise very interesting points indeed, but i think what argenis is try to say is that hes doin what 1000 of other people are doin, nothing different nor special. Yes i hear what your saying cause believe me im far from a great dancer and you will never hear me say that about myself. Theres a lot of parties i go to where i dont even wanna be near all the good dancing althogh you wont find those dancers really at crobar,pacha, their at all the deep house parties. ALL THE BEST DANCERS IN NYC ARE AT DEEPHOUSE PARTIES. The thing with milton who i dont know personally but have seen out is yes hes doin the "guido shuffle" BUT and abig BUT is hes adding different things to the moves and moving a different way than the normal way and moves that everybody else who dances that way does. BUT if you are at a party and just trying to have fun while dancing and hearing the music, you could be a dj,producer,dancer, owner,promoter, but if your a mangled mess stay away from me lol. BUT if your really there for the music and your letting the music move you then, IM SORRY IF I HAVE EVER OFFENDED ANY OF YOU GUYS/GALS.
  11. some of us are happy about that lol.
  12. Well how bout come out this sun for my STIMULUS>RESPONSE party and check it out for yourself. Also twilos old system went to SHELTER on 39th street and they moved it to their new location downtown on 150 varick st.
  13. ive been goin out almost 10yrs now and i always go to the clubs by myself, but once inside depending on the venue or dj theres hundreds of people who i know personally or have know thru out many parties. Go when you want leave when you want, just make sure you dance your ass off. I mean i go out to dance and hear the djs not to walk in with people. Although i sometimes walk people into cielo for many reasons lol.
  14. well dont know what your doin this weekend but if your around by all means come on out to LOVE on sun night.
  15. Since this had nothing to do with the previous mon night part MON-DAZE why dont you make your own new thread.
  16. I will have to say that i think LOVE has the best sound in the city with Spirit and cielo being tied in 2nd place. Although of course it all depends on whose behind the decks as well. I personally loved spirits sound but when i walked into LOVE and heard it for the first time it was def something impressive. Cant wait to go back to spirit on july 3rd for danny t. See ya sun at LOVE sheendawg.
  17. Well its more like the modern after hrs crowd that gets quite messy. Some of the older parites were very much after hrs and werent as messy as they are today, its just a totally new generation. Kinda like old school rap fans and modenr fans, totally different worlds.
  18. http://fkalways.com/sfb.htm Sound Factory Bar I remember when I got the call about playing at the original 'SOUND FACTORY' on West 27th st. I had been hanging out here every Saturday night since the place had first opened in 1989/90. I was playing at 'THE WORLD', on the Lower Eastside every Friday night.. Actually, Frank Roccio and 'The World' was responsible for bringing me back to NYC. And playing only on Friday nights made it possible for me to hang on Saturdays. So, as always i'd take my disco-nap around midnight, get up about 5am and head over to 'SOUND FACTORY'. I could always set my watch by what Junior was playing. 'TIME MARCHES ON' by The Jungle Onez would be playing when i'd walk thru the doors at or around 6:30am. I'd be greeted by the usual suspects/new friends, (Christina Visca, her brother, Adolpho, Kevin Williams). Phil Smith and be came friends and would always hang back and kiki at everything going throughout the party. And as per usual, Phil would grab me and Kevin Williams and ask us to come help him with the VIP area. Each week the VIP area was moved to a different locale. I thought it was a bit strange but, a clever idea. Anyhoo, I was also in production on my first album, 'BEYOND THE MIX' for Virgin Records. I was working with an all star choir on the final track, 'SOON I WILL BE DONE' when I got the call from Phil Smith that Junior had walked out. He asked me if I were available to come and play that Saturday night. Mind you, this was Thursday afternoon. Excited, I didn't know what to think. Of course I said yes but, immediately got back to work with the choir. I just didn't want to lose focus on what was paramount at the moment. On my first available break I immediately ran to the Penthouse Studio (at QUAD Recording) where David Morales was working on some project (I can't remember which one). We were living in 'Quad' during these days. I told him I had just got the call from Phil about playing 'SOUND FACTORY' because Junior had walked out. "What should I do", I asked him? Without hesitation David said, "You have to do it". 'SOUND FACTORY' is too important a club for you to pass up. Plus, with Morales at RED ZONE and me at 'SOUND FACTORY' it would be the ultimate feather in the cap of DEFMIX. But what about Junior? What about how he would feel about it? I was concerned about these things but didn't let it influence my decision. One of the things most of us DJs look for and depend on when we do residencies at clubs are the "regulars". The folks that you can always count on being there, even in the worse and sometimes most dire circumstances. It was the proper room to showcase what I was doing musically. And with the new album coming out soon, here was the perfect opportunity to breathe a whole new scenario into the New York Club scene. and hopefully find my place at home in New York. So, going into this new residency and thinking about opening night, I knew I needed a secret weapon. One that would cause a stir, make tongues wag, get everybody talking, even running to the record store the next day asking what it was and if they can get it? God! I miss that about this business. Everything being so fragmented and everyone in this end of the business being so completely independent of one another. The comaraderie is gone. It just something else nostalgic about this business that has gone the way with vinyl. But I won't digress. The first tracks I thought to try out was 'THE WHISTLE SONG' and 'RAIN FALLS'. I didn't have much confidence going in that these tracks would make any kind of impact but I also thought, this maybe my only opportunity to prove myself so I better make the most of. Never being a technically perfect mixer, my theory was if I presented great music perhaps I could save my ass. Well, much to my surprise both tracks were incredible hits. Instantaneously the room took to both. Especially 'THE WHISTLE SONG'. It had become 'Sound Factory's' first official anthem. Everyone wanted it. Folks hounded me for it on a regular basis. DJs tried to boot-leg it. And for 7 months the only place you could hear it was at 'SOUND FACTORY'. So, many people came and discovered 'SF' just for the music alone. As scary as it was, it was also very exciting. I was the "new kid on the block". When the single and the album finally released that summer of 1992 my life and that club, 'SOUND FACTORY' were linked forever. And with the summer olympics going on, 'THE WHISTLE SONG' was used for the Lipton Ice Tea commercial. Pushing everything over the top. I had no idea how much of an impact this song had on the public by and large. It was everywhere. All over the radio, playing from everyone's car stereo rolling down the street. My residency at 'SF' also gave way to legendary hits like; 'THE PRESSURE', 'I'LL BE YOUR FRIEND' and 'WHERE LOVE LIVES'. Ultimately putting 'SF' on the international map for being the best club in New York City since the closing of PARADISE GARAGE. So, later in the fall while I was enjoying the success of my first two singles, 'THE WHISLE SONG' and 'IT'S HARD SOMETIME' and a string of hit remixes ('THE PRESSURE', 'HANGIN' ON A STRING', NOTGONNACHANGE, yada,yada,yada), changes were coming about in my peripherie at the club. Apparently Junior wanted his room back. I never knew why he left. I wasn't privy to that information. But I did hear the rumours going around that I had taken his job, that he ALLEGEDLY was spreading. Of course this really made no sense to me considering, he owned part of the club so, how can I take his job. But nonetheless he wanted back in. So I was out. But not completely. Phil (Smith) already had plans to launch a neighbourhood dance bar right smack in the heart of Chelsea and offered it to me. That club was 'SFB' (Sound Factory Bar). I don't think this was to be the official name of the club but, it made sense to everyone all around. It was to be the perfect situation for me. He and Steve Dash custom designed a sound system that catered to the music I played. Brilliant! Clean! Perhaps the best sound system in the city next to 'SOUND FACTORY'. It was my BABY. The transition was a breeze. Not as difficult as I thought it would be. Two weeks after leaving 'SF', SOUND FACTORY BAR was launched. I remember it being one of the coldest nights that winter. It was January. Our door-whore, Darryl Elmore was trying to serve a STUDIO 54 feeling (perhaps per Phil's instructions). But it was too cold out and we weren't completely ready to open the doors because the bars were still setting up. But I just couldn't see having folks line up in the dense cold and wait to get in. I told them to "get these people in off the street as quick as possible"! The opening was a great success. Later on 'SFB' would give way to legenday nights like; Wednesdays with Little Louie Vega, Thursdays with Lord G (cafe con leche), me on Friday nights and, David Depino & Danny Krivit on Saturday nights. Morales had played there on many ocassion. So did Satoshi. At one point this club was operating 6 successful nights a week (something that no other bar was doing in NYC at that time). Sadly, 'SOUND FACTORY BAR' came to close at the end of 1996. Becoming an abandoned child of Phil Smith (whose whole focus was building and launching TWILO at the time), 'SFB' hung in there with the help of it's greatest supporters until there was nothing left for us to do but call it a day. But it's nice to know that 'SOUND FACTORY BAR' has passed on into history as one of the greatest nightclubs in New York City history. And I am so fortunate to've been a part of that history. 'SOUND FACTORY' moved to midtown. TWILO took over the original space. After playing the first two weeks of TWILO's opening I was offered a post at 'SOUND FACTORY' but just couldn't see myself going backwards. It just didn't feel right. TWILO didn't either. Besides, New York was going thru a change and so was I. So instead of hopping from club to club, bar to bar with hopes of landing something as substantial as 'SFB', I eventually decided to take my act on the road (until times got better). And here I am. A citizen of the world. I'd personally like to thank all the people who passed thru those curtains at 'SOUND FACTORY BAR'. The staff and all the bartenders for making that place LEGENDARY! And to Phil Smith & Steve Dash. Thank you for giving my life this history.
  19. I was suppose to be there but i didnt wind up goin, any reason? And hope you had fun.
  20. Im having a big party over at LOVE, contact me if interested and let me know how many people are under 21, and i will get back to you. The name of the party is called STIMULUS>RESPONSE and theres a thread about those parties on this forum with pics of my last stimulus parties and audio of what the music will be like.
  21. For those of you who are wondering what type of music to expect at my party at LOVE on sun night well heres you go: http://bbs.clubplanet.com/new-york/306722-stimulus-response-parties-nyc.html
  22. nothing really special or different. And heres a history lesson, I HOPE ALL OF YOU KNOW THAT "WORK THIS PUSSY" SONG was originally made in 1990 by JUNIOR VASQUEZ under his ELLIS D alias. And thats where the sample for the version that came out last yr was taken from.
