foxy001 Posted October 9 Report Share Posted October 9 I have found that knowing which DJ is playing is quite important in choosing which club to go to. Here, no one really cares… What's the difference? Isn't music just music? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrakis Posted October 9 Report Share Posted October 9 Foxy, I guess you'll have to wait until a DJ really blows your socks off, and then you won't forget him/her! True there are different types of electronic music, but in the end, it's the DJ that puts it all together... ------------------"House music... it can change your soul.""The second most popular game that we played as children... is house."

marick Posted October 10 Report Share Posted October 10 music is NOT just music...there are many diffrent styles with in the diffrent types of music. and with the diffrent styles comes diffrent sounds and moods. i'm assuming that we are talking only about 'dance music' here...house music is more soulfull and jazzy then say trance or drum & bass. it has a deeper feeling to it and takes more thought to understand it.trance can be very uplifting and emotional at times but can also get very stale very fast. it tends to have the same build'em up break'em down feeling to it. next time you go to a club to listen to trance pay attention to the breakdowns in the songs and the drum rolls as well. you'll find that it's so predictable. every song does the samething and therefore souns the same. break beat is very hip hop influenced. it can have alot of old school electro sounds in it as well...and drum & bass, well thats just fast!! the bpms are like 180+ where as house is something like 120 bpms to 140 bpms and trance is something like 140 bpms to 160 bpms. it has alot of deep dark basslines some of it (intellagent drum & bass such as whet ltj bukem does) can be very pretty and soulful wth alot of jazz and classical influences in it. so to close, it's good to pay attention to which dj is spinning at which club so that you can decide what style of music your in the mood for. you would not go see john digweed if your in the mood for paul van dyk style trance and you would not go see paul van dyk i you wanted to hear deep, dark, twisted house like what john digweed and danny tenaglia play.hope this helps you out a bit...if you want to talk more about this then e-mail me at cream11@hotmail.com and we can chat. cheers mate!!

Nolimit Posted October 10 Report Share Posted October 10 Is that what people in Daytona think?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxy001 Posted October 11 Author Report Share Posted October 11 Well, if you know Daytona like I do, there are only a few clubs to consider going to. 600 North, Groove, Razzles, and Baja. Each club has its own theme and type of music. You choose which one to go to depending on the type of music you prefer or the surroundings you prefer. I go to dance mostly so Razzles and Baja are a favorite of mine. DJs hardly ever come up in the decision. This is why it surprised me so much to come to this board and find that knowing what DJ is playing is actually quite important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxy001 Posted October 12 Author Report Share Posted October 12 Thank you. I know that my questions are quite novice, but you have to understand where I've grown up. It's not the most happening place in the US. Thanks to this board, I've learned so much about the clubs of a much larger city. Thanks to all!

patrickl Posted October 12 Report Share Posted October 12 Aren't the Daytona clubs more famous for wet t-shirt contests than bringing in X big-name DJ? I don't know, I've never been there except in passing by on 95, that's just the impression I get. I wasn't really clued in about "the DJ" before early last year, and predictably, it was Oakenfold's New York Global Underground CD that got me into it. I had been listening to electronic music for quite some time, but until then, I didn't really pay the DJs spinning it in clubs much attention.

Nolimit Posted October 12 Report Share Posted October 12 Foxy, u should try to make it down to Miami next March for the music conference (WMC 2001) Aside from the almost perfect weather, you've got the best djs & music around for a week full of debauchery.

arrakis Posted October 13 Report Share Posted October 13 Debauchery in Miami during the WMC? Hmm; yeah - I'll second that, NL! ------------------"House music... it can change your soul.""The second most popular game that we played as children... is house."

foxy001 Posted October 14 Author Report Share Posted October 14 Yeah, Wet T's are a pretty standard way to attract attention to the local clubs during our key event times Bike Week, Race Week, Spring Break, and Black College Reunion. This next weekend is Biketoberfest. Thursday nights at 600 North are the Venus Swimwear contests. But other than that, it's pretty calm around here. The music conference sounds like it could be a lot of fun. I think I just might do that. Where do they hold it? Thank you for the info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrakis Posted October 15 Report Share Posted October 15 It's held officially at a large hotel/resort on the Beach, but the general public (those who don't have badges/passes) can still attend many of the nightclub events. Believe me - you can still have a great time w/o a badge/pass; but if you have a connection to get one, it can't hurt (don't spend the several hundred $ to buy one though)! You'll have access to nearly everything...------------------"House music... it can change your soul.""The second most popular game that we played as children... is house."

foxy001 Posted October 20 Author Report Share Posted October 20 Well, right now, I'm between crowds I guess you could say. I'm begining to receive my VIP status. In Daytona that is. I'm also trying to find a few people in Miami that I could meet. I'm my own person and frequently travel just to meet new people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patrickl Posted October 20 Report Share Posted October 20 I like the idea of meeting; there should be a Clubplanet/GU board meet-up for the WMC! Like last year's Bliss party at Groovejet, that was an amazing night..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxy001 Posted October 20 Author Report Share Posted October 20 I will definately look you up arrakis if I decide to come down. Thanks for the offer! Having a meeting place for the people from this board would be nice. We would actually be able to see and get to know the people we so frequently converse with here.
