I don't consider Rpxy even a club really, since they only throw 1 trance party every 1-2 months. They can't do it more often because frankly, I don't think they can afford to. If you are looking at NYC from strictly a trance perspective I think that really only ARC comes close. NOw thats not to say that there are places that have Trance music, but none of them have it on a consistent basis. Arc might not always have a trance dj, but more often than not, they have a dj that will foray into trance/house/breaks/prog/EDM in general, which is better for the scene than nothing.

When you look at the choices (SF, Exshit) there really is no comparison, ARC has the monopoly in this town, but if a true Trance club did eventually open, I think Arc would be in serious trouble for Saturday Nights (excluding Fridays for Tenaglia/Howells of course)
I agree that Arc is the only place right now that is providing a good scene for Dj's. But I can't agree that a Trance club would put it in jeopardy for two reasons. 1) NYC is a House town not a Trance town, and 2) Arc is a House Club first, then Techno, THEN Trance... They are going for Trance acts at the moment, but their bread and butter is House, and you will continue to see that. I think a big club like Twilo would put Arc endanger... especially due to the alcohol situation... but thats another matter...

hybrid is not prog breaks imo. i sorta think hybrid has their own catagory of breaks. they sorta been around before "proggy breaks" and "nuskool breaks" and "florida funky breaks." hybrid owns, and i wouldn't even bother putting them in a sub genre of breaks, hybrid is just hybrid.

but anyway some examples of proggy breaks:
Attention Deficit - Use Only The Drugs (James Zabiela's "Reason" Mix)
Grayarea - One For The Road (Designated Remix)
Momu - Donner Pass (my fav example)
Professor Okku - Work Unspoken (Luke Chable Mix)
Sasha - Cloud Cuckoo (Luke Chable Remix)

Hybrid is like the 50 cent of progressive breaks.

I think things will get a lot better in the fall with Spirit, Crobar, and apparently Avalon (old Limelight). Plus, if the turnout on the 22nd is big enough, Roxy may bring back their party on somewhat of a regular basis. I'm definitely excited about the fall.

Gatecrasher's 9th B-Day Party:

Paul Van Dyk

Scott Bond & Matt Hardwick B2B

Maybe you need to read the public statements and websites... Avalon MAY open for Tsunami but its NOT confirmed... Spirit already posted what the party will be about as well as Crobar... sooo... who know what about what now huh?

hahahahahahahahahahaha, still not you.

All those places have indicated that they would be bringing in a lot of amazing international and local talent. You are commenting on how these clubs are lame, and they aren't even open yet. You don't know a damn thign abotu the kind of people that are going to show up to these places when they are open, exactly what DJs they are going to book, what kind of vibe each place is going to have, or even what the place looks like. So like I said, you still don;t know shit. have fun predicting the future though, I just expect, since you know how these places are goign to turn out, that you stay teh hell out of them when they do open.

ooooooo000ooo personal attack... how... immature... well.. I suggest you get your ass on the internet and read up about the sister clubs (Spirit in Ireland, Crobar in Miami). Talk to people who have been there... AND THEN come tell me I don't know what I am talking about... mmmmmkay? Oh and don't worry about me not bein' there, I wouldn't waste my hard-earned money on shit... have fun with the guidos!

SUPERCLUB COMEBACK

By MIKE GWERTZMAN
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

August 7, 2003 -- IF you like your nights out big and loud, we've got some good news for you: The giant, anything-goes mega-clubs that once defined the city are coming back.
As of this fall, no longer will you have to schlep off to Miami, Ibiza or Los Angeles to party with a massive sound system and world-class DJs.

Three new superclubs are entering the fray, all of them at the hands of out-of-towners who are betting New Yorkers are hungry for that big club experience.

Buying the legendary Limelight space represents a homecoming for Steve Adelman - who used to run the club with Peter Gatien in the mid-'90s.

Along with partner John Lyons, Adelman is transforming the former church into AVALON (6 W. 20th St.), opening in September.

"People come to New York to experience things," says Adelman, one of the kings of Boston night life. "They want something they can't do anywhere else. The Limelight is a building where you can get that."

Designer David Ashen (XL and Capitale) is sprucing up the club, which was reopened briefly as Estate last year, and the entire building is being outfitted with a new custom-designed sound rig and state-of-the-art lights system. The club's multiroom layout will also house a more exclusive Spider Room, for the celebrity set.



Few openings are more hotly anticipated than CROBAR, which finally will open its doors in October after more than two years of work.

There's already a documentary being filmed and a possible "The Restaurant"- style reality TV show in the works, but Crobar owners Cal Fortis and Ken Smith believe their massive West 28th Street space will speak for itself - with three separate dance spaces and three smaller rooms, including a main room with 60-foot high ceilings.

"We want to take you on a ride," he says.

Recalling his days of partying at Danceteria, Palladium and Area, Fortis hopes to revive that era's clubland mix of downtown hipsters, models and art types.

Are New Yorkers ready for a nightclub that offers vegetarian food, tarot readings and chakra balancing? Robbie Wootton, the force behind SPIRIT, thinks so.

The New Age club is certainly on sacred ground: It's opening in the West 27th Street building that held Twilo and the Sound Factory.

"The days of going to a dark room listening to the DJ on his own are changing," Wooten declares. Spirit will merge dancing and DJ-ing with live musicians and theatrical performances (think Cirque de Soleil and De La Guarda).

The club itself will be divided into three separate areas: Body will be the main dance floor, Soul is the restaurant upstairs overlooking the floor, and Mind is the "spiritual wellness" center with tarot readers.

Succeed or fail, these three clubs will at least provide welcome new club options for New Yorkers.

But can the city accommodate all three? Says Adelman, "New York can handle it."
