rudeboyyouth Posted December 13 Report Share Posted December 13 Got there early, and Rob was already wrecking shit. The music was off the hook all night long. At first, no one stepped on the dance floor, but as the night progressed, the vibe got much better, and, at times, almost seemed reminiscent of Sound Factory circa 97 / 98 - just a very chilled out, intimate group that was there to dance. Music only got better as the night progressed, so I shredded the floor for as long as I could (I was the guy in the blue "Nintendo" jump-suit jacket). I definitely can't dance for long periods of time anymore - too many beers over the past few years have slowed me down, lol. Overall, I defintely felt the vibe, but I'm just dissapointed to see that not too many people are showing up for the talent that is coming through this place. It's hard to get people to overcome their preconceptions about Long Island, even though the music at Nation, in my opinion, is better than what's being spun at many New York City spots at this moment. Rob, Matt, and the entire Nation crew are trying their best, and if the venue fails, people can't say they didn't make an attempt to revive Long Island's underground scene. Met some cool kats, including MattM2o (who I've been seeing at various parties since Freedom days, but never actually knew it was him), and also ran into one or two old-school heads that I haven't seen for a couple of years. The night was a treat for true house-heads. Musically, last night was one of the best parties I've been to all year, hands down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djgrod Posted December 13 Report Share Posted December 13 It's a shame that Long Island has a good thing going and people are just stuck on the Hip-Hop commercial crap clubs like Mirage. I hope this party lasts for a while. But LI has no kind of taste for good music, so we'll see..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
