rocksteadyct Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 yeah i know its not NYC but who cares, place was off the chain!It's an Art Gallery by day apparently, and the design of this place is crazy...all kinds of crazy imagery, sculptures and whatnotThe sound system is awesome, ive heard people drop the name Martin Audio, i dont really know what that entails..but it is GOODProggy all nite on the main floor, excellent lights...they have a nice downtempo lounge/hallway...very well thought out!It felt like a little slice of NY that somehow got dropped in Providence..not only that, its nicer inside than the NYC clubs ive been too! Definatly reccomend this to anyone in the area...its only open Sat nights 2-7, but they have a sister club that is open from Sunday 8-1 (PULSE)Just had to let you all know there is life outside the city!

nycalexct Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 RockSteadyCT, I work at Alchemy in New Haven, under their lounge, they are due to open a new room called Priveledge (I know, Ibiza ) that is going to be 18+ or 19+, management has yet to figure that one out, but it's going to be main and afterhours. It's a very large space and if done right will compliment the New Haven scene. DJ spots are yet to be filled. I don't know if you DJ much in the area or where you've spun, but if you're interested or know anyone good who would be, PM me. I'm tight with management and they appreciate it when the staff brings in new talent and performers (I seasonally bartend). As it stands, Gotham's OZ is a disgrace to afterhours in New Haven. Remember the good ol' days of System vs. Insomnia? Hartford was amazing then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure then that me, you, and Rocksteady may have all partied together at least 3 yrs ago...Insomnia was my home until I discovered New York...and its not that I totally forgot about Hartford, but like any club, changes come along, sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse...VIBE just isnt what Insomnia used to be...all my old school insomniacs are long gone...

nycalexct Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 Don't sweat the 21 thing... just use any ol fake or a friend... if I'm in the area let me know, have the people in their are <21. Clubgyrl, indeed, Vibe just is not quite Insomnia.IMO System and Insomnia both went down the tubes when Squillante went psycho and tore up all the inside of System and left the club. Man is a psycho. Remember when he almost bought Limelight?

Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycalexct Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 I'm not neccesarily gonna call Alchemy cheap;) but the fact that the club rakes in so much money, they eventually had to upgrade something. So yes, the space below the lounge (street level). They need to gut out the room and then modeling will begin mid-february for a spring opening. There are several production ideas and it could end up looking like anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clubgyrl00 Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 What's the best night at Alchemy? I go to SHU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycalexct Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Depends what you're looking for...Big college crowd and a fun vibe, go on Thursday. Hip-hop up front, house and top 40 on the main floor and house and requests upstairs in the lounge.Friday is strict hard house and hard trance on the main floor with Angelo Fecci (very good DJ, runs Love Music records in New Rochelle and also does ArtBAR saturdays). More hip hop up front and underground and house upstairs.Saturday, Joe Guicastro spins deep house and really has the most recent releases and new music. Upstairs, is funk and tribal.Some good parties coming up...1/24 Friday is Maa Bell's last gig in CT before going to Miami.1/30 is the Naughty School Girl Contest (Thursday party with a twist)2/14 is a lingerie/pajama Valentine partyCall me "out of it", what/where is SHU? I'm either an idiot, or losing it:what: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycalexct Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 personally, thursday nights are my fav, only cause it is just pure chaos with tons of people getting wasted out of their minds. as far as music, it's not the drawing part of the party, but it's tolerable, as long as you're doing what everyone esle is doing. drinking.

kitty19 Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 yo, this thread brings back memories of my college days up in western mass (i went to smith college).i remember hitting up some SHADY ASS parties in ct, but i had some good times.. one was at some cafe/restaurant with an alligator out front? i also used to hit asylum for a few parties, but that place was pretty shady also. do you guys still go there? and lastly, that place -- wtf was it called -- in springfield, MA.. oh right hippodrome! what a joke that place was but the space was beautiful.. (brandie was an ex-employee). i respect columns of knowledge, that crew threw some tight parties. knowledge is a great, great CT dj.. very hard to find guys that thrown down UK hard house here in the states! nothing but love, k-holes, and shadiness for my new england ravers... !

mattm2o Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 I Used To DJ At Alchemy a few times pretty cool venue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycalexct Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 days of asylum are long gone, venue changed names and has never been very good...not sure about the cafe with the alligator, but New Haven has really taken off recently.Alchemy is the new hotspot (used to be Gecko's and Boppers), but there are others that have become popular or are new and designed great. Playwright (Manhattan, Miami, Stamford) is beautiful and has some great parties. BAR is always good, oldskool (like 80's club music). Neat is off the hook with amazing girls. Gotham, cheese that it is, is a fun place when you're young. Funktion is a nice underground venue... always "interesting" music...Hippodrome = When did you DJ at Alchemy mattm2o?
