palladiumchk Posted July 24 Report Share Posted July 24 Alright, I don't ever post here.. well, I did years ago, when this thing was still ClubNYC...but I was just curious, what do you people think about the Arena Classics Night Junior is doing at Earth September 1st?And I am also trying to determine by asking this question, how many "old school hard - core" clubbers are left posting on this...very curious.And feel free to share your memories of the party if you've been there ( or "lived" there like some of us did) ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
housedog Posted July 24 Report Share Posted July 24 never been but I am going to this. I have been going out since 93 and this should really bring me back there. I think I remember when Junior spun @ the Pallidaum, that was when I was new to the whole club scene and was just overwhelmed with it. So I hope he will bring me back there.see you therevin-e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

housedog Posted July 24 Report Share Posted July 24 Limelight Fridays? WHAT Thats where it all got started. Does anyone remember Rotterdam Terror Source @ Limelight? My all time favorite night out ever.Never got to USA, or Nasa or Tunnel in its hey day. I dropped out for like a year or 2 in 94. Came back in 96 for Fantasia 2 @ Randalls Island and 4U @ Asbury Park Convention Center. Those were the daysvin-e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palladiumchk Posted July 24 Author Report Share Posted July 24 Ok, so now I feel better...I went out a little before '96, but I couldn't really "go out" every night, I did have to get thru High School somehow.But once 96 hit, forget it...going out wed thru fri? Try going out Tue thru Sun :)Lets see...Tue- Life (the start of the week)Wed- SystemThursday-Life (more trendy than tue)Fridays- Sound Factory (when the one on 46th first opened and Jonathan was actually worth listening to:D )Saturdays-Arena at Palladium (the greatest party, everything-wise, everything was perfect, I must really say, it was one of the greatest experiences of my life.. too bad it only lasted a year)Sundays-Cafe Con Leche at Expo ( I do miss that club... and the party)I miss it being difficult (for most people) to get into the clubs, I miss the drama, I miss those anthems, when Junior was actually good and completely f-ed with your mind for 15 hours, I miss that gourgeous building, the bathroom downstairs, the couches on the main floor..Alright, let me stop, I sound like an old hag at 22...Anyway, like I said I'm really looking forward to it, it won't be like a SF classics night, it is gonna be unbelievable, trust me...especially if you like good vocal house.Have a wonderful rest of the week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palladiumchk Posted July 25 Author Report Share Posted July 25 Oh man... a favorite Arena anthem???Lets see there's..Things Just Aint The Same ( Deborah Cox ) Hex Hector MixIf You Really Don't Want Me (Deborah Cox)Step By Step (Whitney Houston) Jr MixTouch (France Jolie)Rocket Man (Elton John) Jr MixI Miss You (Bjork)Flood Peace TrainWeep this Ricky Lee Jones song that I can't remembe the name of, which is kinda bad...Ok, there are too many to name, but those are just a few.And junior was totaly different at the original SF, he played mostly "bitch tracks", besides when he first started there he used to get booed. But anyway, if u find these songs, enjoy them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palladiumchk Posted July 25 Author Report Share Posted July 25 Junior still plays factory classics... you just have to close, he plays them on sunday afternoons usually. He does play Arena stuff, but rarely.And by the way, I'm curious as to where the heck you got that list ? I have a few theories, but do you mind sharing?:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clubgodd Posted July 26 Report Share Posted July 26 cant fucken wait!!!weeeeep--hes gonna turn it out that nitehe hasnt not been fierce for months nowand i think all the old school people miss usa, limelight, palladium and especially twilo-which is already in old school category now after being closed for a year RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palladiumchk Posted July 27 Author Report Share Posted July 27 Twilo is old school I guess... but I'm not counting Jr and Fridays... I was going there when Danny Tenaglia (LOVE HIM) was spinning there, untill people started raving about this "hot dj, who's like Junior Jr named Jonathan Peters" at the New Sound Factory (winter 96-97) so we started going there on Fridays, and the Factory was awesome back then!! brand new space, Jonathan was amaizing, the Vibe was great! A perfect pre-Arena party .Honestly, I'm curious how it is now, I haven't really been there in almost 4 years, but I seriously doubt I'd enjoy it. Although I am curious, but i used to walk into that place like my home, untill the juice-heads took over, now I bet I wouldn't know a single person there.Oh well, I gotta stop thinking about the past so much lately... damn!PS USA and Limelight (Disco2000) was something completely different... that's a whole other subject Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my first experience in the NY scene. For a young high school kid from NJ this was a big change. It changed my life completely as I was introduced to the wonderful world of clubbin. Glad to see there are others out there feelin the good ole days. In Orlando now and definitely been feeling the lack of good tunes. But at least my old clubbin buddies TRENDROID are going to be spinning at a local club here to promote their new cd release Transport 6. Ahh the good ole days.
