A lot of people tend to forget that going out to a nightclub is just more than the music and the DJ.

One problem I see here is that when people go out, they're expecting every club to be what they want, they don't understand that just maybe that the club may want to cater to a different market segment than the one they are in. And if it doesn't cater to them it's like "oh it sucks, don't go there, you'll have a horrid time!"

There's a lot of people out there, and they all like different things.

[Guest Buck White]

Well we can have sirens and horns in bad ass nightclubs here in miami, or i could run up to the nearest railroad track by the fire station in Idaho and pray to god that a train passes by at the same exact same time that a fucking fire erupts.

lmao. love this thread.

[Guest pattya.br]

i cannot wait for the day that people realise that the sirens/horns are fucking obnoxious and sound like shit and stop using them - they ruin moments for me over an over

i happen to like them.. it gets the crowd going.

totall agree with u... me too, i just love them..it does get the crowd going

[Guest ramon]

we need more rave hoovers imo.

:

[Guest pod]

Hey, if that's what the people want. Though hoovers are outdated. Dysons are better.

[Guest 4040]

How about trading the horn for a bunch ravers with whistles.

They are all just effects to enhance the experience for the audience...isnt that what its about?

BTW: there was about 10 hours of music that happened as well that night;)

Great job on the track guys!

Thanks Brother! and Thank you for playing it!!

[Guest Diaga]

Major im bringin a Siren to Blue next time 8) Funny ass thread. Congrats Bruno

[Guest Major]

Larry Levan died in 1992 - R.I.P. Paradise Garage closed in 1987.

I've never come across a record where in the miidle of the break-down, it read "Shit, I couldn't come up with anything here..can you please pull the horn". ;D

[Guest pod]

I've never heard any decent DJ use the horn in a breakdown.

Thanks for the factoids....very helpful

well...if it was good enough for Larry...it's certainly good enough for me.....I guess you're trying to insinuate(with your sarcasm) that its out-dated??? lol....not sure how that even becomes out-dated....are you going to pick on confetti and balloons next?

and BTW.....I've never read a record ???

one thing is for sure....on this board....if negativity is the soup of the day, you better make an extra batch!!! cause folks cant seem to get enough of it...

This thread is about a couple of talented local artists making an impact on the dancefloor with their new remix....Bruno and J Felix's latest tunes are being VERY WELL received at the moment by the Miami faithful...I think thats fucking great!!! and something worthy of some discussion...

but..

instead lets do 2 pages of the siren hating game...or hating.

Someone actually owns that domain? ;D

You know how it goes, OG. I was saying in another thread, how that success breeds contempt. Hell, I remember way back in the day when you told an aspiring DJ that he'd be on the horn like 'white on rice'.

Bruno and Jorge are pretty good in the studio, it's cool for them that people are playing their stuff out. And the fact of the matter is, we need more of our artists getting played in the larger venues, not less.

Dance music isn't gonna survive in run down claustrophobia-a-ramas alone.

See, I can understand why that's good for some people. There's more of a connection with the performer, chances are he was the guy saddled up to the bar earlier, not the guy escorted in by security 20 minutes before go-time.

But without an above-ground, there's no underground. From both a financial perspective, and a name perspective. If big DJs and big clubs went away, what would the underground kids have to bitch about then? They'd likely move to something else, probably have to work at a gyro stand or something to make ends meet, since there'd be no trickle-down effect.

there was underground before there was aboveground...

i do understand your point, but i think the underground would survive no matter what happens on the surface

[Guest pod]

Really? Go back through dance music history, there's always been a commercial counterpart, both in DJs and clubs, to the more underground component.

Now, I don't really know DJs too well, but one example I can cite is of Larry Levan and the Garage. The hardcore underground crowds had that, whereas the more commercial people had places like Studio 54, which had DJs such as Richie Kaczor and Nicky Siano on the decks. Still playing dance music, though for a more commercial crowd. Often, Larry would break tracks, Richie or one of the other commercial guys would get it, and then break it commercially. Then the artist got compensated more, enabling him or her to produce more tracks.

Money might not be on the forefront of some artists' minds, but the artists do have to make money, even if it is just enough to survive.

Now of course, you've got the "DJ-as-a-hobby" contingent that holds down a job processing mortgages or something, and only plays for the proverbial $50/bucket of Corona. That being said, they're busy at their day job, leaving little time to produce their art. Do you think Danny Tenaglia could kick out the quality material he does if he was stuck in an office from 9-5 every day? Hardly. Maybe one or two tracks of quality a year if he was lucky.

So yes, there's always been a commercial side to the underground. Without that, there's no scene after awhile. Artists would stop producing simply because they couldn't afford to. That Mac Pro costs good money. Even if you steal all the software, your hardware costs money, unless you're a ninja and steal that too. And if you're not getting paid to do your art, it becomes harder and harder to justify spending time on it, because at the end of the day, you gotta eat. I know very few producers who are willing to croak just to prove a point.

[Guest rhythmburn]

^ you bring up a point...and used the word 'counterpart'...

maybe there is a synergistic relationship there?

at the end of the day though IMO, even without the commercial counterpart, there is always going to be the $50/bucket of coronas dj, and there are an endless number of producers out there (maybe only producing 1 or 2 quality tracks a year) to keep things fresh

<croak>

[Guest pod]

Then again, what kind of scene is that? The big clubs switch to hip-hop, and the only thing you're left with is people who don't give a shit and kick out mostly mediocre material. If you're not producing to put food on the table, you're less inclined to do a good job of it. I mean, could you see only having (no offense to anyone) say Blue left as the remnant of the dance music scene? That'd get mighty boring after awhile. Might as well save the $50 and the free booze, buy a Mac Mini, load 'er up with whatever, and call it a day.

Synergy would be the proper term though. Neither can really function without the other. Even if you look at 'underground' parties as a training ground for more above-the-line parties. Everyone's gotta start somewhere.
