Saturday mornings (Friday Night) sorry for the confusion. (damn afterhours!)

Sorry for the delay. It's been a long day. Anyway, some of you might have already discovered that the link works. Again we apologize and look forward to your feedback. -Staff at Terminal

My apologies to those who have tried to access the file only to find it dead. We were transferring the site to a new webserver this weekend and there seems to be prevailing issues. I'm looking into it right now and will let you know as soon as everything is corrected.

btw, that's this Friday to be exact. Sorry bout that.

www.terminalmgmt.com/mp3s/terminal004mixedbymarkkane.mp3 enjoy... anyone who might be interested in hearing more of the above might want to stop by the Lust Afterhours at Oba Lounge at HOB (Mandalay Bay) from 4am-9am. You might actually enjoy it and if nothing else,what have you got to lose? -M. Kane

FYI, Don't have your hopes up for talented djs... you won't find many in this town. However on to the clubs in question, Ra lost their resident and gave up on dance altogether, ICE just fired their resident and who knows what might happen, Rain is MTV Spring Break every weekend and unfortunately that concept is tired, you'll be lucky to hear one commercial dance track an hour, Drai's, I have never been to due to the "scenesters" but I hear that they play progressive house so that may be your best bet. hope this helps,

First off, thank you. Secondly, I don't regularly participate in perpetuating rumors, especially internet-based ones but (because you're a decent person in search of good music) I just wanted to say that your "imagination" isn't very far off from some "behind the scenes developments."

Just some thoughts on teampowahh's comments: As a NYer who has recently moved to Vegas for business, my conversations with employees of several of these clubs has shed light on the parody that exists in Vegas nightlife. The problem at the root is that there is not unilateral communication between establishments. While for the most part, resident djs, managers and owners have good relationships among themselves, they are too short term bottom line oriented to shift towards "dance music". They seem to feel obligated to pander to the ever changing "crowd" and don;t want to give that "crowd" any credit. Patrolling several forums, I have seen many posts by the same "visitors" that make up this everchanging "crowd" voicing their displeasure over not hearing house, trance, etc. It seems that these people need to continue to voice their disappointment with management on the nights they go out. That desire to excel at customer service that pervades Vegas need to become a tool towards truning the tide and establishing dance music as a viable genre/culture in this town. Nothing against hip hop, but it has saturated global pop culture to the point of trivializing the culture and it's foundation. The simple fact that there are several hip hop stations and not one single dance station speaks to the sad state of non support that dance music has in Las Vegas. The most unfortunate thing is that the global perspective on Vegas is a cutting edge metropilitan city with it's finger on the pulse of global culture. People behind Vegas clubs need to accept this fact and put a stop to the parody. Every new casino in this town tries to set it self apart from the others, in architecture, theme, amenities, overall design and atmosphere. Yet, once in operation the same dated business practices with regard to nightlife take over and it just creates a void in the overall feel of going out in Vegas. as i said previously, just a thought...

Joey, will you be continuing your association with V?
