those complaining about hip hop going to the 2nd floor.... you should support PACHA on its more 'subtle' nights then, not just on the Erick or JP or NYC DJ nights.... its because of New Yorkers' close-mindedness and praise of only THEIR DJs that a club like Pacha needs to make money with a hip hop floor... honestly speaking, how many of you have seen Sven Vath live? or James Zabiela? or Wally Lopez for that matter?.... maybe you should start seeing these guys the few times a venue like Pacha brings them along for a night, and maybe they wouldnt need to make their money by bringing in hip hop (obviously, im not even picking on any single person.... im picking on the fact that so many people in this city will be like "no, i dont wanna go to see (insert DIFFERENT DJ than they see 2-3 times a month anyway) because im strapped for cash and im going to see (Boris/JP/Morillo/DT) next week... i wouldnt be surprised if Pacha gets DT on their roster just to fill in the gaps between whenever the monthly JP or Morillo parties are

also another thing.... how was the roof party he played @ back in Brooklyn a while back? thats a way to see exactly how many fans he has, am i right?

theres only one way to settle this.... Crobar this Friday has Cedric Gervais and Astro & Glyde, two relatively small talents.... neither DJ is really HUGE in the scene like any of the DJs were talking about.... sooooo, if Crobar is packed on Friday, we can safely say that Crobar will always be packed and that on a Boris night, its just half the Crobar-crowd, and half fans.... theres no sure way to say this is a fact but to see how the crowd is for Cedric Gervais (dont bust my balls and say how BIG he is, because hes not)..... as far as kids getting into Crobar to see Boris.... Crobar has the toughest ID check in the city, so like Jen said, if you can get in there, then GOOD for you, i need to find where you got your ID haha

yeah because its THAT easy you DEFINITELY sound like youve thrown any kind of party before

yeah, i had a blast, and sangria is the SHIT

wow, he played let the sunshine in, i NEVER woulda guessed

Paul Raffaele & Ivan Caraballo put on some sick beats, wasnt too big a fan of V-Tone's set from what i heard

isnt boris the door guy? that sucks

nice meeting u gabe... fun night, i liked the opening dj lola, bring the lola back!!! urban relief project were alright, not my cup of tea i guess, and its a shame about their really scratched up cd's, it happens to the best of us i guess... very different crowd than im used to seeing at pacha, that was refreshing, and wally lopez had his up-and-down moments, but when he was up, the tunes were just too good... fun times :-)

anyone have full details, like times and slots and where (where the DJs are playing, or is it all on the street?).... i wanna go today!

omg ANOTHER theme party!!!!!! the music aint good enough so we need THEMES to give us a reason to go, how clever!!!!!! :-P

and the winner for most ignorant post ever goes to....

you dont get much more epic than that do you? :-P

Overdose doesnt really do anything anymore, but Frank (Scot) teamed up with Kai Tracid to make Druck Records a few years ago, so theyve been releasing other artists on there, stuff like JK Walker (hes sick) and other underground hard trance artists.... Scot Project's still alive and kicking, not necessarily here in NYC (even though he packed out Avalon both times he was here last year), but i think hes still in that bracket of legendary DJs that will be legendary no matter what he puts out, like pioneer status... hes been doing alot of exclusive edits and reworks and remixes that only see the hands of a select few DJs, guess hes doing it just for fun, just for the underground, and not selling them (which is awesome), and also working on a new album which will probably be out mid-2007... i know this cos he told me it all himself so yeah haha

"halcyon and on and on" is too amazing... good choice, that slipped my mind... blows my mind EVERYTIME i hear it

wow, that flyers sickkkkk... huge step up from the tiny mention of him in the chapel @ Avalon.... i really like that flyer lol... good shit, ill be there, both in the bassmint and main floor

if you meant best EDM track ever.... Scot Project - overdrive Jones & Stephenson - the first rebirth ....im still laughing at whoever considered Serge Devant's tune "BEST TRACK EVER" haha

are some of you guys foreal? (i tried to take half of the replies seriously and even some of those seemed hard to believe).... Guns N Roses - november rain Jimi Hendrix - purple haze ....does anyone on this site have the capability to know anything about music beyond the past 4 years?..... or Exit or Factory, for that matter?

I don't usually promote my weekly internet radio show here, since it's usually trance but I figured some of you will be interested, since my guest this week is Chris Liebing! It's on at 9PM... here's full info.... Chris just tore it up here in New York at Pacha nightclub last week.... and he's going to tear it up here on ETN this Sunday... only on.... http://www.etn.fm/etn3.asp at 9PM(ET)/2AM(GMT) STROBE LIFE SESSIONS 050 with special guest CHRIS LIEBING Chris Liebing had his first Residency as a DJ in a small club called "Red Brick" 1991 in Giessen, near Frankfurt. There he was playing all sorts of music from Soul, Hip Hop and Pop to House. In 1993, buying his records at Downtown Records in Giessen, he discovered the more electronic side of music, and one year later, he decided to open up a Techno Club, called "Spinclub". Already beginning of 1995 the club had to close down and Chris began working for Eye-Q Records in Frankfurt. During that period, he met his friend and partner Andre Walter. Together they started to built up a studio and worked on music. Later that year, the first record on Global Ambition was released. Also together with Tommy Bingel from Downtown Records and Toni Rios, they founded the house Label SOAP. Various records and remixes were released, like Traveller on Harthouse, Noosa Heads and E.H.R. on Soap, Strictly Ryth, and others. In November 1995, Chris had a chance to play at the OMEN in Frankfurt and shortly after became Resident DJ. About a year later, influenced by his DJ-ing, he created "fine Audio Recordings" together with Under Cover Music Group. Chris gained first worldwide recognition with releases like Audio 07 and Audio 11. Between 1997 and 1999 he hosted his weekly radioshow on Evosonic Radio. Very much happened then in 1999, Chris played the first time for the U60311 and started his residency every first Friday of a month with "Es ist Freitagaaabend!", playing along with his favourite DJ's and live acts from around the world. He joined the Cocoon Agency in Frankfurt to take care of his growing booking schedule and also in that same year, he moved on with his label work and created his own record company "CLR". From then on the labels CLR, Clretry, CLAU, Stigmata and Soap were distributed by Prime in England. Since August 2000 you can hear Chris and Pauli Steinbach in their "Pitch Control" on HR XXL every Thursday night. In may 2001 he mixed his first double CD Techno Divison Vol. 01 in cooperation with his residency Club U60311 and their label. The CD runs went well and were charted on #18 of the German dance chart directly. Also Chris started working to produce for his first album. But he still released production on his own labels in 2001/ 2002. In 2002 he left Cocoon Booking to manage the booking schedule by himself. From now on CLR is taking care of his labels and bookings. Chris Liebings Debutalbum EVOLUTION got released in June 2003 national and October 2003 worldwide. The reaction is immense and most magazines support the album and producer behind it. Next to releases in 2003 on his labels CLR, CL Retry, CLAU and Stigmata (for more information watch Chris Liebing's discography) Chris decided to built up his own Party row ES IST FREITAGAAABEND (means its friday night) in the U 60311 in Frankfurt. In August Chris played Nature One Festival in Germany and got voted to best DJ of the festival, second year in row. After a successful year (2003) Chris decided to take off a complete month in January 2004; he wants have a few weeks off for vacation and studio work. In that take off Chris have had the idea to arrange a remix contest for all tracks he released on his debut album Evolution. Chris put all parts of the tracks on his site for download; and within a few days CLR received more than 2000 registrations of producers who wanted to do a remix. After three month CLR received more than 500 remixes; and on August 2004 Chris released the best four tracks on CLR evo. In July 2003 Chris Liebing is nominated for the German dance award in the category best national DJ, also nominated were Paul van Dyk, Sven Väth & Westbam. Chris flew in to be part of the award show wich happened in Berlin; really happy about the nomination; - nothing aspected – and WON the award for best national DJ! A few weeks later Chris and Pauli receives the information that the radio channel where they run their weekly radio show, that the radio channel was switching name and products; their radio show PITCH CONTROL should move from a Thursday night slot to Saturday night. Pauli and Chris decided not to go on, because both are mostly booked DJ wise, and the Pitch Control team decided that to record the show under the week and to broadcast it Saturday night instead of doing it live, would mean they'd lose loads of spontainous vibe. So in December 2004 the last Pitch Control went on the air before they both closed the radio show after three years.. The reaction were massive, but there were no chance to hold the Thursday night. In the beginning of 2004 Chris Liebing was voted "best remixer" by Raveline Magazine's yearly readers poll. In the categories best DJ and best Producer Chris runs number two. In May 2004 Chris released his second double mix CD for his residency Club U60311 on their Label Techno Divisions; the Mix CD by Chris was Vol. 4. in this mix CD Chris goes on as he would in a DJ performance, with all technical equipment and effects he usually uses; Final Scratch; Ableton Live, Faderfox, Air FX, etc. Also the cover of the CD shows his laptop with Final Scratch running. In March Chris received a request if he would be interested in hosting a weekly night from July to September together with Mauro Picotto on Ibiza at the Privilege Club. Chris and Mauro decided to do so; even with loads of critics in back; they did, and the Meganite combinazione were born. The night turned out as a success and the first season on Ibiza were made, both hosts will go on with Meganite Combinazione at Privilege in 2005 every Wednesday. In October 2004 Chris release the STIGMATA CHAPTER ONE Mix CD, for wich he used all 44 tracks he has released on his Label Stigmata for the first Chapter ( 01 – 10) in cooperation with Ableton live. The mix CD is sold as “The complete Collection, -Chapter one . Chris Liebing and his partner Andre Walter will start in second half of 2005 latest with the Stigmata Damon Chapter, Chapter two. Together with the incredible dutch producer Speedy J Chris produced a release on Speedy J's label COLLABS in which Speedy J releases always in cooperation with some other producer on the renommated Novamute label. Chris and Speedy J released Collabs 300 in November 2004. The results were good and Speedy J and Chris Liebing realized that they should continue to work together. So they started the collabs 300 series; in January 2005 they will release their next 12â€. Collabs 301. Also a complete album is scheduled for November 2005 via Novemute. In November 2004 the international recognized readers poll of the Top 100 DJs of the world from DJ Magazine happened. Chris Liebing climbed on at number 23! He climbed 65 steps; which has him as the highest climber of the Top 100 readers poll history of DJ Magazines. In January 2005 Chris received the message that he is again nominated for two German Dance Award; Best DJ and best Techno Artist. The Award show will happen on March 11th 2005.

and jen, it still aint a crew unless youre out every week so stop seeing NYC DJs and start coming out every week (i know its so much easier said than donw for you haha)!!!!!! D-Nox & Beckers @ Avalon next Saturday, its AWN.

i saw you there silverbull but everytime i saw you were dancing so i didnt wanna ruin the funk (i know how it is)... guess ill introduce next time... i had the red shirt and thick-framed glasses sorta

"I am very annoyed that I cannot go tonight.. this weather is horrendous and a lot of my crew can't go because of this weather as well.. " jenbabe, you slackkkkk.... your crew aint a crew if it lets rain bring it down ;-).... that is all! still love you tho haha

here's a review from last night.... jenbabe slacks.... no trooper's blood in her

that, my friends, is the post of the century... well put and all valid points... as much as you hate to say it, the NEW YORK CLUB SCENE IS DYING... Crobar last night was filled with empty spots here and there, and i dont care about the rain... it was DT and it was 18+ at New York's hottest club, it should have been packed, but it wasn't, and neither is any other club any week (minus JP)... New York is dying... look back to only a few years ago, where YOU ACTUALLY HAD A PRETTY BIGGER CHOICE TO WHERE YOU WANTED TO GO.... whether it was some big-name European trance or tech DJ @ AVALON, or whatever weekly Made Event party @ SPIRIT, or one of CROBAR's awesome monthly residents, or sometimes there was some decent parties and afterhours @ DEEP.... when you think about the number of people that were out (all spots were probably 80-90% packed), now think about how 2 of those are considered MIA as far as presence in the club scene, so it's only a matter of CROBAR and PACHA.... now think about such an awesome and pretty well-known DJ like Chris Liebing... the place was like 80% packed... but you'd think with SPIRIT and AVALON out of the way, and an 18+ party, it would be 100% packed (plus the weather was nice).... the fact is, everything's dying.... ...another quick point... just think about how empty EVERY club would be if it weren't for those Asian FOBs you hate on... sorry to tell you, but the clubs won't make any moves to NOT let them in, they're CROBAR's and PACHA's dependable source of weekly money, and it's sad that that's what it takes for a club to look filled and generate $

the DJs dont care what the ticket prices are, what the drinking prices are, what the age limits are, they dont care and they dont tell the club to do anything special... you must realize someone like Tiesto has 4 gigs a week, he doesnt tell every club what tickets should cost or WHO or HOW OLD they should let in... the buck stops with the management of the clubs, especially the guy saying whether or not theyre making enough money, he basically says what direction the club is going... if they can squeeze out as much money from an 18+ night and 21+ night of Tiesto back to back, THEY WILL, Tiesto doesnt care, as long as he gets his 50+ Gs...
