sobeton Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 interesting! that was a good period for clubs and clubbing in new york. Michael Alig's story is tragic to say the least.unfortunately the ny scene , has since gone to sh*t ..Party Monster is a well done film about that era, and Alig certainly worth viewing.. lolahotass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majinbuu Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 okay, it's not that bad if you like lounges. and whens the last time you visited? its the more or less the same thing...just a different look to the crowd....ask pete about the crowd when we went to black.its not like we get different djs here, they usually come here right before or after miami. probably play the same music most of the time. (at least the big djs...)the biggest difference ny has to miami for me is that i dont really have the amount of friends that i did in miami to club with here, so its not as fun in that way.ny has some nice clubs, and probably more of a choice places to go every weekend. its not as bad as the people of the ny bd say it is...

IMO places like twilio, factory, etc had a vibe and music no other city could even come close to. you had two mayors in succession who along, with the overindulgent knuckleheads sucked the life out what was once a great scene. also what happen on 9/11 also somewhat impacted the scene .. you think I'm wrong I have friends who still live in ny, and they tell me these things all the time. in fact quite a few of them have recently moved here.not to mention dj's including DT, that i have spoken to in brief about the ny scene ;who share almost the same sentiments. the present scene is not bad in comparison to other cites; however the new york scene will never IMO be the same as was in the past. it's not a bad scene, just really not my cup of tea any longer.

bassboy Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 I sadly have to agree w/ Tony... NYC is going through a really bad spell, and the laws and nightlife task force of the NYPD threaten to make it last indefinitely.For many reasons, not least 9/11 or the recession in the city, people have gotten more conservative and having fun or straying from the designated line has become wrong, now even in NYC of all places. It's really sad and frustrating for people that remember the old days. But Miami is no peach either! It's the attack of the A/X + breast implant shallow, attitude-heavy clones. ( I speak of the Beach scene here, but Space too...) The real underground scene is no longer in the US or even W.Europe, it's in Russia, South America, Eastern Europe, etc.. that's where the crazy parties are where EVERYONE is pumped up about going out and not just going through the motions or living on memories. Suffice it to say, I am really tired of this shift towards conservatism in the US and for me to live here in the future it will have to chill!

majinbuu Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 that may be true, but i think that the reason why the ny scene doesnt appeal to people is because they have lived it for so long...no matter how many different mayors, or tragic events, clubbing is still here. there are great venues in ny, and top djs are here almost every week.i think the thing that changes is people. people mature, opinions change, likes and dislikes can also change....i remember the music i liked when i first started clubbing, and now i wonder what i was thinking....i can see why people dislike clubbing in ny if they have been doing it for years...its probably the same faces and the same thing week after week...but that can happen anywhere.

pod Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 NYC strikes me as a lounge town nowadays. The megaclubs aren't the flavour up there, for the locals anyhow. I'll agree, it has changed, but everything does. If anything, the "downslide" of NYC has led to some DJs setting up shop down here. As for the photos, it was a nice look back...shooting black and white in a club seems backasswards to me, but this girl pulled it off nicely. Old-school too, everything looks hand-printed...at least from the scans... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majinbuu Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 nyc strikes me as a town that has more lounges, bars, clubs, theaters, and restaurants than most places in the world...i dont see how anyone can call it a lounge town, especially if they dont live here...

pod Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 Well as far as the house music scene is concerned, it seems to be largely in the smaller places these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
