tranceaction Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 Alright.. since the drama has finished..Who was your favorite performance or favorite party, or wildest night out last year?#1 Labor Day Weekend @ Crobar, which I had an absolute blast..The music was nothing special but for probably the last party of the summer for the collegiates, the crowd had incredible energy was incredibly fun. Hasnt been the same since, IMO. Just goes to show you dont need a big name to have a great time.. (with apologies to Terry & Bitch).. I went to XL aftewards and was cracked out all Labor Day..#2 Digweed @ Vic followed by RedNoFive afterwards.. incredible music.. 'nuff said#3 Judge Jules @ Crobar.. another pretty good crowd with a nice set from JJ.. He worked the crowd extremely well and had everybody going crazy till the end..How about you?

gsk411 Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 Man, caught Digiweed at RednoFive when he was in town. Basically by accident, just happened to be there. F'ing amazing, wish there was more of that caliber in town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
back2basics- Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 LOL,Richie Hawtin - Decks, Effect & 909 @ the Smart Bar.. because at the beginning there were all the train spotters crowded round the DJ booth. The warm up guy was doing an OK job. Richie just walks up to the booth to a round of applause.. and turns the place up side down for the duration. There wasn't one trainspotter left not dancing after precisely 10 second. Frankie Knuckles & Jocelyn Brown @ The House of Blues... because I got to meet Mr. Knuckles briefly, and the BEST crowd I have come across in Chicago (IMO) and it was Jocelyn Birthday and she sang, and we sang happy birthday back.. it was just one of those moments. And because it was a who's, who of house music.. people like David Morales, Erric Morillo all just turned up to see what happened.Fabric in London - Steve Lawler & Danny Howells.Back to Basics (UK, Leeds) - Just because I hadn't been for a year.------------------I want to go out blazing..not fade away.Trust in the currency of relationships, it's hard to earn but easy to loose - back2basics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just put in new sound system and dave ralph was spinning...ahhh the memories....go see www.daveralph.com for pictures from that night...It was awesome to see dave jumping around and waiving a shirt in the dj booth....------------------"Nobody picks on a strong man." - Atlas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scratchapella Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 I know my profile says I'm Washington, DC, but I'm originally from Chicago (going to school in DC). Just thought I'd check out the local board here. The most amazing party I've been to was a Christopher Lawrence event out here. I miss all the good house music back home, but CHicago's really got to work on getting some bigger names out there. Being in the East, I've heared VanDyk, oakenfold, carl cox, dave ralph, sasha n digweed, the list goes on. Question: what happened to dan the wildchild? He still in Chicago?------------------"I wanna go out blazin...not fade away." - Freak Frequency Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scratchapella Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 for real? when was this? I guess I was really out of it back home. ------------------"I wanna go out blazin...not fade away." - Freak Frequency Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tranceaction Posted February 13 Author Report Share Posted February 13 Oakenfold & Van Dyk were @ Crobar back in August/September.Digweed was at the Vic Theatre in October or NovemberDave Ralph now has a monthly residency at RedNo5 .Even though talent comes through Chicago, we still needs a bigger and better venue than Crobar.

diesel77 Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 all the guys you mentioned played in chicago at one point...tommy------------------"Nobody picks on a strong man." - Atlas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scratchapella Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 Is Drink still open? That place was kinda big, how many do you think it could hold? Maybe with new owners or someone else, they could turhn it into a venue like the Tunnel or Nation. ------------------"I wanna go out blazin...not fade away." - Freak Frequency Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel77 Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 yeah right, not in our lives...tommy------------------"Nobody picks on a strong man." - Atlas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tranceaction Posted February 14 Author Report Share Posted February 14 Whoever takes over "Drink" will probably just turn it into another suburban draw, such as Rive Gauche or Circus.... hmmm, isnt that what Crobar is becoming? I hope not, but maybe its too late.I swear a lot of the crowd they get at Crobar are spillover dorks from the Crazy Horse.."Hey dude.. look at the chicks going into that place.. lets go in there!!!""No way braaa.. its like a chinese place or sumthin'.. Lets head over to Alumni Club or Mother's for some brewskies" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transonic Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 i think the best night i had was Dave Ralph @ Karma...damn i miss that place. second fav. would have to be Van Dyk @ Crobar. I've heard him spin better sets, but i was looking forward to that night for months, so i had a blast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
