back2basics- Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 Ok i know we have been here before but i wanted to revisit it and get some personal preferances (remeber that's all they are)..Anyway so i like smaller clubs (600-10000. I know DJ's like to see 2000 bobbing heads but in a small venue (like where b2b is @ now), you can see everybodies faces in the club from the booth. I would love to play a 2000-10,000 but i have spoken to many a DJ who likes the big gigs (they pay more money for a start) but who will often play a small venue for half his usuall fee just because it's a good venue to really get a feel for what is working.As far as when i go out, so long as there is room to dance i also prefer it fairly small most of the time. I don't really do the whole walking round the club thing, so that's probably why. I think if you have a huge club splitting it up in to smaller rooms with different music would work better for me than having 1 HUGE room.a) what DJ's preffer. what punters preffer.------------------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...

boa_boy Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 Originally posted by PFloyd40: come again?apparently the people behind Twilo's sound also do home around the world including Sydney, I was talking to someone about the very subject Friday nite. 18 months ago or so the princpal behind Sublime (until home the best purpose built club in Sydney) sold Sublime, and took up a share in home Sydney, the people buying Sublime were converting into a pool hall, so they took the kit with them to home and used it in various parts of the club, for example the bit I mentioned b4 where they have d'n'b did not exist until Sublime moved in.......does that make sense? ------------------"At the peak of tremendous and victorious effort, while the blood is pounding in your head, all suddenly comes quiet within you.

FUN? i dont get it? i love some of the Dj's Twilo brings in, but i cant deal with so many people, i really do like paul van dyk, but u would never catch me there at 12-6, i just cant deal, it would be great if owners werent gready fucks, and did something like "Crowd control" i like room to dance, and people around me happy, not pissy cause people keep fucking pushing you, or hitting u with out saying " im sorry hun" u no? lolyea im kinda pissy today. but i do like small clubs, when its not crowded. but BIG clubs can be great to, come on Try to tell me Palladium wasent the shit, lol.Even TUNNEL. if that place could get a solid GOOD resident, people would be all over that. i dont care much for Renagade, and Nero, they dont do it for me. i liked Corbett there, and miss Junior at the old tunnel, Fuck even danny riped that place up!i want that, A GOOD Dj, in a big large place, so u can dance move around, and go on adventure's LOL.Exit could be great if they got a good dj, and took out half the people in there, and filled it with non Gay bashing, Fun colorfull people, Ha.Hahaha,Anyway, what u guys think?_JAY_------------------"kill a kandy kid"4 FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!"do u need some help wit your dick?"

mugwump Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 Look I dont give a shit if its a basement or a stadium as long as the sound system kicks ass and I can dance(cough coughphazon systemcough Twilo cough) I'm ok. Nothing worse than lots of space and shity sound. Anyone see Oakie at Roseland or Hamerstein! FUCKNSUUUUCKED!! I saw him at the Roxy TWICE and that was soooo much better. Smaller..yes but the sound was like the shit and the crowd was right there with him. If you listen to Oakie's another world "silence" kicks in from that night. He even called it his best gig in NY ever. (Tranz giving 99) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad_Z Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 Damn, I love large ass clubs most of the time.Back in the day, Limelight was a journey and a freak ass experience to just wonder around at that place. So was the tunnel and palladium, but all these clubs are getting too tame, no matter where you are, you just dont see the things u used to back few years ago. I guess the Gulliani administration really sank its teeth into the club scene.Even though its not the same, I still prefer larger clubs because of the walking space. However smaller clubs are cool too, to chill in one place sippin on some drinks or whatever you do. ( Depending on what mood im in). Actually the strange thing is, i prefer smaller places on a Friday night and large clubs on a Saturday...wierd psychological stuff.Rad_------------------ BOOM............BOOM!!!

sharonregina Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 a little bit of everything- always but 3/5 times, smaller venues, especially when there's that perfect crowd volume- enough room to dance, but enough people so that the place isn't empty. i love the intimacy, you seriously know everyone's face by the end of the night, even if you never looked anyone else in the eye, you saw them dance and listen to the music alongside the rest of us . . . all that PLUR which gets killed in crowds (coughcoughtwilocoughcrowdenights )------------------"any kind of stance or belief is in its essence opposing to life and truth" "I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it." -voltaire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexxxi Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 I am so use to the clubs in Toronto that I have come to prefer the smaller venues (200-800 bobbing heads tops). If you don't take into consideration The Guvernment/Warehouse (approx. 2,000 in a night) most of the clubs here are small, with seperate rooms to hang in. You get access to seperate DJs and seperate clubbers and seperate music at all times. Great for those times when you just feel the need to roam around a club!!! ------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
