Saint Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 Morning, morning. I just saw your post about the underground scene. I'm tired of peope talking about DT, JP, the other DT, JV, AVH, CC, PO, S&D, etc etc. Yeah, each one of them has set good standards, but the underground is what fuels the entire genre of club music. I mostly hit up Vinyl when I go out, but I'm into everything. Smack a good list of DJ's to hear and what nights and I'm there Voice. P.S. I've still yet to hear ClubNYC dj IllHouseYou yet. I'm going to try and hit Joy this Tuesday where he spins. Anyways, peace, Saint!!!------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgoodnight Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 I went to a party called tru-skul a couple weeks ago (detroit/chicago party on saturdays, previously at Flamingo, which has now moved to the LES somewhere) and it had the potential to be a great underground scene, but unfortunately it was almost totally empty. It's bad enough most smaller venues in this city don't allow dancing, but then there's one that does and it can't attract an audience... what's up with that?-tg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Posted May 25 Author Report Share Posted May 25 Why it's hard for underground movements to succeed. Most underground establishments rent a space for the evening, and part of the clubs financial success stems from the sale of alcoholic beverages. Most underground club peeps are into the music and minor club drugs...not alcohol: Hence, the club owners profits dwindle and so does the potential underground music. Plus, most underground movements are advertised within the underground subculture, not through mainstream Dolce & Gabanna poster stunts, ya know. I'm sure those are some very big reasons why many underground movements are blocked. Saint!!!P.S. If you find out the name of that party/place, let me know, stjamesr@hotmail.com------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Posted May 25 Author Report Share Posted May 25 Say, DT was raised in Greenpoint right? I grew up in the North Side, Williamsburg, about 1/2 mile away. I can definitely see where some of his influences came from...Saint!!!------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capricorn13 Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 Saint O:-),You can check Eau, above Punch, on Broad betwn 20 - 21 on Tuesdays. Pretty kick back trance style. You can try Izzy Bar for Fluid on Tuesdays as well. I think it is on 10th near 1st. Gaby is the Dj. His stuff is pretty Deep. I have never been there for Fluid but I've heard Gaby before. ------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went with 4 people and all of us ordered seltzer. I almost never drink these days but i suppose i can nurse a beer to support the scene.I found a flyer for Tru Skul at temple records. The listing on Citysearch (http://newyork.citysearch.com/E/E/NYCNY/0014/65/89/) is confusing about where it's happening this weekend. I emailed them and will let you know.

JoelS Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 Tru Skull is a wicked party. I wanted to go 2 weeks ago for their first night at 113 but I couldn't. I'm surprised it was empty.I may go there after the hardcore concert this next Saturday if I don't go to Destiny.The adress of 113 is 113 Ludlow Street, it's almost on the corner of Delancey Street.I like very much this club 113. It's a nice Underground spot.I will post something later about the Underground, NYC scene, invasion from Europe (I'm French and I'm invading you, muahahahaha) etc... now I have to work, duh! http://www.foundationteam.com See ya,Plur,Joël S.
