The owners of Privilede don't exactly know what they are doing. They have 2 rooms in that place and a terrace.... you could do so much to attract people to the place... they even have a small patio...

Yet they don't make good use of what they have... First of all, there's always some dude playing "WORLD" beats in the terrace, which obviously brings a crowd to the club that no techno-fanatic can stand AT ALL >:(

There's millions of ways to attract people to that place... Have a tech-house DJ on the second floor... while you get a more banging techno DJ on the main room... AND NO FUCKIN WORLD BEATS IN THE TERRACE... Having a tech-house DJ on the second floor would "commercialize" parties at Privilege a bit more...without getting to the point where us techno headz get pissed off at the fact that it is not an "Underground" scene...

Yet I must say the "underground"/"commercial" debate is bullshit... Josh Wink plays at Space, minimal, acid and hard banging techno... the place is always packed and he kicks ass behind the decks... and don't tell me everyone in the main room would actually say they like techno... MARKETING MARKETING MARKETING!!!! and don't tell me that those of us who go to space don't enjoy a techno night because we are in a big club at a party that in a way is very "commercial"

[move]I T ' S A L L A B O U T T H E M U S I C[/move]

I had the chance to spin at Privilege and of course never got paid...They kept giving me excuses... Not that I care... it is nice to get some money to buy new records but that is not exactly the reason why I get behind the decks... All I've heard and experienced with the owners is that they are really clueless and irrisponsable...

Anyway... Privilege was a cool place... it's dead now!!! Hopefully the conference next year will help alot...

I still appreciate the fact that they took the risk to open a "TECHNO" club in a city where vocal house and fucking trance rule >:(

Funny,a friend of mine Spun there it was actually one of the best nights they could have had ever on the 2nd floor......and we basically had to take the $100 out of his pocket because he did not want to pay him!!!!

Most techno fans I've run across are a pretty insular bunch. They fear the commercialization of their scene, but yet decry that no one shows up to their events, and those that don't show up are somehow defective in the head. Like I've said before, offending your potential crowd isn't exactly the best way of getting them to go to your event.

Seems to be the downfall of a lot of great "underground" events/genres. They LOoooooooove to shoot themselves in the foot!

That is why I like the deep house scene. Everyone is so fun and accomodating. Girls especially. 8)

LOL! Ahhhh.... loves me some cute deep-house chicks!

We're just content... we have weekly meetings to complain about our scene and what we can do to protect it from being commercialized... Buuuttttttt someone always starts drinking Corona and Patron and everything seems to turn out A-O.K.!

Techno is the fat girl of dance music. Fun to ride until your friends see you.

there was no harm in wishful thinking, they faked me out for a second with the opening, but really they shot themselves in the foot with that and so many others things, I think those guys meant well they just went about things the wrong way
