kramadas Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 k...I know I might get some shit for this but, is it me, or has Buzz really gone waaay off track for us prog/trance headz?! I checked their listings and I really cannot find one night from December to Feb that I really want(ed) to go for, other than Danny HOwells. I think its great bringing in less known names, and playing all different styles, but it seems like it went from all 90% prog/trance to 10% prog trance. At least 50% would be nice.

tinybutterfli Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 yeah their lineups to me haven't been that great. the reason john tab gave for that was that if they start bringing in "bigger" names, they'll have to jack up the admission price. which makes sense.silver lining - its helping me save money for the WMC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicman Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 what tiny said. having said that, i still thing they should try to bring a "big" name dj like once a month, i think they would still get a full house. i would be happy with that at this point, if they brought in a sander or danny or christian smith or misstress barbara or i dunno once a month.

shadygroovedc Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 It's not even that they're bringing in lesser known names. Frankly, I'd rather see a bunch of locals over what they're doing these days. They've changed the music completely. To me, it seems like they're chasing the next big sound or the next big fad. It's a shame, really. Cause that's what struggling businesses do -- get all gimmicky. I'm a firm believer of you dance with the date that brought you. And if that means you're dancing with the ugly girl all night, then so be it. But don't resort to hitting on everybody else's date cause you're in trouble. If you're gonna go down, at least go down with dignity and stick with the ugly girl -- even if the sun's coming up and she's getting uglier and uglier with the impending light.

Kuro Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 A lot of people just don't want to hear prog. It's about time that they had more diversity. But they need more proper techno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuro Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 And you aren't going to see that many big names in such a small venue without the tickets being way over priced for just a two hour set and a 2 AM closing time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like the genres they've been highlighting but I'm sure that when they were at Nation other people probably thought they focused too much on prog/trance.No matter what they do, someone is going to complain.

And especially not until they change the stupid law about the closing time (there's a hearing at the end of this month, so maybe that'll change at least). Danny Howells is one of the big names that we'll probably see regularly, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadygroovedc Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 Originally posted by raver_mania I'll be more than happy with Howells! But yeah, they better change that 2am law! Yeah. That, and they need to bring the party closer to DC. AND they need to move the party back to Friday so I can go again. AND they need to have Scott Henry spin more regular sets instead of these special Valentine's day love song sets or whatever the heck he's gonna be going. AND they need to get a snack bar so I can have a hot dog middle of the night if I want to.If they do all that, I'll be a satisfied customer once again.

nautilus60 Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 Yeah, i also agree...I havent been to Trust since Howells and i live in Balto. Its not about the "big names" for me but the kind of music they've been bringing - not my cup of tea. But whatever, i am not complaining - i've moved my party headquaters to Sonar - i like it much better there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean, they weren't the "normal" baggy pants wearing, sitting on the floor upstairs, back-rubbing crowd? Is that what you mean by weird?

Kuro Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 Part of the thing about Buzzlife parties at Trust is that when they have big names in DnB they have to have them in the mainroom because there isn't a seperate area big enough to handle the crowd. So there's only ever one headliner, DnB or otherwise whereas at Nation there could be big names in both parts of the club. Since Howells was at Trust there have been 2 DnB nights, an old school night, a night where there was going to be a surprise guest who JT said was going to be Digweed except that he got sick, Madam Zu cuz she got a good response at Honeydew 3 and a lot of people requested for her to come back, and then Chris Liberator last week. That's why there hasn't been prog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
