Originally posted by sunlounger75 One of many reasons why I don't go out much in Denver anymore. Trance artists are neglected in booking on a constant basis. I think is it the laws we have here that really do not allow nightclubs to thrive like on the coasts. Having a club monopoly here in Denver does not help the situation either. The owners/promoters here have clause in contract that all artists sign in booking which limits their ability for others in Denver area a chance to book them as well. I rather travel and meet new people anyway.

Ok, I am going to have to disagree with you here.

Do you have any idea how many artists Denver gets in comparison to even cities like Chicago or DC? Almost EVERYONE and their mother comes through here on tour. Sure, they might be 2-hour sets but most of the US gets the same treatment except for a few major cities like NYC, Miami, LA, or Chicago. Okay, so the Church, Vinyl, Shelter, etc are owned by one guy - but that one guy sure as heck brings in the DJs and tix are still $10 presale no matter who it is (except for Tiestor, all hail Tiestor). And contracts like that are standard in any major city venue - Lawler couldn't play Sonic in Toronto due to his contract with the Guv and their owners. If a DJ wants to sign an agreement like that, its their choice.

Sure, its not ALL trance but what fun would that be? I'm not the biggest trance fan around but I do enjoy quality trance - heck, I'm flying to San Fran to see Sander Van Doorn this summer!

At any rate, hope to see you out sir - I've never seen Rank 1 so I might be out to the Church that night.

I have to agree with the competition thing. Though there are different promoters like Triad and Ryan and so forth, the club ownership is the same. It is as though Vinyl is dead during the school year and is up and running during the summer only. The church is the only main club in denver. Sure, there are lounges that have djs, but as far as clubs go, its mostly the church. ask around and many dont even know what club vinyl is besides from word of mouth. The church lately has suped up its look with lighting but vinyl is a bat cave when someone plays there.

As far as acts go, the church does bring in many acts, id say one trance guy every 2 months - which is eh but will do. seems like the focus for trance is the summer - yea the djs are touring then but they have the entire year. Many leave during the summer and its hard to full the clubs up. Also, unlike many promoters, since there are very few, the massive events are yearly - no new massives really from year to year with locations being the same.

For the city Denver is, it seems there should be more electronic music events and promoters and clubs. What is out there now is doing good but with more, the competition will go up, and result simply with many many fans being happy to get more events. Id rather pay 5 - 10 dollars more to get a choice then have to pick an event or two that i like every 2-3 months at the select club/massive.




Oh and The Church could turn those lasers on every now and then - i mean come on. The lights are so plain, simple spot lights (just more of them), and a disco ball so high (because of ceiling hieght) that the effect doesnt really work well unless you look up haha.

We definitely have it pretty good here for a city in middle America. And unless our liquor laws change (which likely will never happen) Denver will Never be on par with LA, SF, Chicago, Miami, NY, etc...

So it looks like Burufunk is at Vinyl on 5/25? Quality booking. Does anyone know if Vinyl and the Shelter will still let you in both clubs for one cover?

damn.. havent been on these boards in forever.. lol

anywho... Bjork was fucking amazing! did anyone else go?

for the 25th only the shelter according to the promoter. since its a "special event"

SANDER VAN DOORN @ The CHURCH, July 19th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dont know why people find SVD to be that great. His tracks arnt all that, and the mixing is ok.

I say he has amazing marketing. Not many know his tracks or remixes or heard mixes - yet everyone has heard of him.

See, I heard a track of his and then went around downloading sets and tracks. The guy is what is getting me interested in trance again after years of house/techno love.

"Control Freak" by AvB (SvD remix) - fackin' sick

Gotta love Grasshopper too.... his Identity shows have been pretty good lately also.

Anyone else excited about Luke Fair?

Yeah, Vinyl sucks too bad to do anything that cool though.

hi, I recently moved to Buckley and was wondering if there are any good records stores near by (Denver)

Virgin Records Megastore downtown at 16th street Mall and the Twist and Shout store on 300 E Alemada off of Grant www.twistandshout.com are the best locations that come to mind. They have the best selections. Virgin being the better option for ya. Welcome to Denver!

hahaha fuckin big time! it's hard to fuck up a show at red rocks, so i'd have to say that unless they throw down some totally different gig in LA vs RR that the RR show will dominate the LA one

The Crystal Method owned vinyl tonight! About a 3 hr set. Including�

Cherry Twist
Smack My Butch Up (Prodigy)
Girls (Prodigy) <-- Sick Edit
Keep Hope Alive
And Busy Child (Live Edit)

By far the bet night I had since moving here in February.
