fouroneone Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 3/8/2005Nightlife entrepreneur Eddie Dean has signed a lease to start operating infamous New York night spot Sound Factory this spring, just over a year after cops shut it down under America’s notorious crack house laws."We have nothing to do with anything remotely connected with what went on there. We take those things very seriously and we take every precaution that's necessary,†Dean told the New York Daily News this week."If everything breaks right, we're hoping for a May/June opening. We feel the timing is great right now for a new large club,†he added.Last March, New York's District Attorney hosted a triumphant press conference after he indicted the previous owner and two senior executives on serious drugs charges, declaring “club owners and managers who allow their premises to become dangerous drug markets are no different from those who run crack houses.†(Village Voice)This is a big issue for us," undercover cop Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly added, "The whole club scene is generally one we want to encourage in the city, but they have to be run legally.â€The club initially closed for a month in February 2003 after undercover cops reportedly posed as clubbers and bought various drugs, prompting the club’s website to issue a stark warning at the time to revellers to be careful about their ‘friends’. “You may think you buy, sell or use drugs together with impunity, you may dance this night away feeling safe in each other's company,†the site said. “But think again, your friend may be an undercover policeman.†Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassboy Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 regardless, the cops are gonna be camped out in the lobby. But isn't the guy that owns Disco a former NYPD? That would def explain why he has been able to keep a place like Disco open.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backupqueen Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 SF...the house that JP built There is really only one legendary Sound Factory and that is the Original Sound Factory located on 27th Street, and that House was built by Junior Vasquez. As simple as that.Then, there is this other place uptown that took the name Sound Factory and catered to guidos mostly. There is absolutely no comparisons. The first one was fierce, the second doesn't even know what that means. End of story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teknojunkee Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 How about the house that the owners built cause without their decisions none of it never would of happend.A certain series of events had to happen for THIS WHOLE DEAL to go down. There were many people involved...Yes...Junior did make it that special place. Not gonna deny that. The man is a NY Legend. And sorry to have to awaken some of you....JP is too (whether you like it or not). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucky13 Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 Then, there is this other place uptown that took the name Sound Factory and catered to guidos mostly. I hate to be pessimistic, but the new club that opens in the old SF space is likely to attract many of the same crackheads and guidos who went there before.

backupqueen Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 How about the house that the owners built cause without their decisions none of it never would of happend.Junior was not only the dj there, he is also at the origin of the deal to get the physical space and transform it: from an empty warehouse to one of the few nyc lengendary club that defined an era. This club was his vision from start to legend.when people say 'the house that junior built' they mean it in every sense of the word. let's give credit where credit is due.

CoPa99 Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 Honestly i dont give a shit about any other SOUNDFACTORY that came before...I went to the one on 46th street where JP was resident and had a great time each and every time I went....Thats the club that got me into the scene, sounded the best, and played some of the best beats in the city during its time...When it reopens Im sure whoever takes over will be one of the top DJ's in the city just like JP was when he was there...Not saying that JP isnt one of the best in the city NOW...If JP goes back to his home on 46th street he will be the BEST, HATE it or NOT he will FILL, and REFILL that club inside, and out..Hes a Hustler, ask about P....
