Hopefully club owners will take the cue and realize patrons like myself want to hear more than just the rumbling of overworked subs. Not likely though.

How would you say the sound system is in the main room at the Guvernment?

There are a bunch of decent clubs about an hours drive away from me, and a bunch of awesome clubs two hours drive away. Cant complain really.

My favourite is still




Its the daddy of the clubbing scene here, and has been for ages. I think i was 14 the first time i went there. Ah, the good old times.

I haven't been there in about a year and a half... but it definitely isn't as great as everyone says it is.

Didn't you use to live in Toronto at one time? Sorry if I'm wrong but just something I remember seeing when I was lurking lol

You said in the other thread you went to see Hybrid as if it were something normal.. if Hybrid came here, my post would've started with something like "After quitting my job and making sure nothing stopped me from enjoying this once in a lifetime opportunity, I camped in front of a nightclub and..."

Ha, it's the second time I've seen them in 2013. Only went as a last second decision, glad I did though as it was a great night.

I live in the Netherlands, so I can't complain really. Almost everything happens in Amsterdam which is a one hour drive for me. Occasionally I go to Rotterdam, Utrecht or Antwerp (Belgium), all in less than an hour. A lot of people I know think it's crazy that I drive an hour to go clubbing.. ignorant fucks

Almost every club has a Funktion One or similar sound system. Closing times are between 4 and 6 am. Only Trouw, my favorite club, recently got a 24hour license. Very soon they'll host their first weekend 'Berghain-style', i.e. staying open from Saturday until sometime on Monday.

I've never lived in Toronto but I used to go to the Guvernment fairly often when I was in school.

Originally posted by SYSTEM-J I live in Leeds. It's an hour on the train to Manchester. I put it to TA that the only places I could live in the world with a better choice of clubbing would be London, Berlin, possibly NYC and Ibiza if I were cheating. But what's it like where you live?

Leeds is definitely one of the better places I've been out Music wise!

Lived in Gloucester last few years and it was all cheese

Have now moved to Colerne now and its no different!

Stick to the north unless your in London!

Originally posted by SYSTEM-J So does the club stay open after last call? What kind of time does the bar shut? And do international DJs play earlier or later in the night? I've noticed that DJs tend to play much longer sets in NA, which may be because the clubs stay open for so long. In the UK it's got to the point where 3 hours is called an "extended set" and is hyped on the flyer. You almost never hear a DJ play for 4+ hours.

One of the peculiarities about the United States is that each state and county have their own rules. In Seattle, every bar and club has to be closed by 02:00, or they risk getting their liquor licences revoked or huge fines. Most do last call somewhere between 1:30-1:45, and then force everyone out around 1:55. That's a State of Washington law, Seattle has actually tried to fight it several times, to no avail. It works differently in, say, New York City, where they can be open till 04:00.

The few times I've seen international DJs, they've come on around 00:00 and played until right around 02:00.



Things are slowly getting better where I live. A few weeks ago, one of the main promotion companies brought out J00F and Lawrence, though I was busy that night, unfortunately. Mostly we just have shitty top 40 clubs or the awful pop-dance shit sweeping the nation, though there are a number of more underground clubs that many people don't know about that will have better deep house or eclectic nights.

There's a number of fairly decent clubs here, but they very rarely attract anyone notable mostly because of their relatively small size. The resident DJs are pretty talented, but other than that, we just get huge college crowd parties at the Main St. Armory with people like Avicii, Sander van Doorn, Bassnectar, Afrojack, etc. I avoid those like the plague.

The nice thing is that we're only a 2 hour drive from Toronto, which has an awesome club scene and a ton of great local DJs. I'm a huge fan of Carlo Lio, although he doesn't play there nearly as often as he used to.

Regular clubs open at 10 PM and close at 3 PM (last call). Afterhours (completely different venue where no alcohol is served) open at 2 AM and close...whenever (usually until the DJ wants to stop playing). A local usually opens for the headliner, then the headliner gets on the decks until morning, sometimes afternoon. Danny Tenaglia used to play 12-14 hour sets.

There was bar called Stereobar underneath Stereo afterhours that opened at 9 AM, where all the alcoholics and hardcore party animals used to go to have some beer for breakfast. Stereobar used to close at 5 or 6 PM.

Jay, ARIA was amazing. I don't remember if you were at the closing party, but walking up those stairs in the morning after the party was over knowing we'll never go back was heartbreaking, we all wanted to cry lol. :/

See!? You ARE one cheeky bastard

My greatest dilemma right now is: Should I go see Fischerspooner tomorrow, or should I go see someone else... in May!

uhhh not really sure what you guys are talking about Selma and Hal. Denver gets plenty of good DJ's coming through. You just need to be in the know

And nothing good has ever happened at The Church since like 2006 lol...

Sure we don't have super clubs like Los Angeles or Miami, but outside of those cities, New York, Detroit and Chicago I think we get some of the better traffic in the states.

I guess it just depends on your taste in music though....


i do agree that the times suck ass. closing clubs at 2am really blows, but occassionally we'll still get a good party out in the sticks that'll go to 5:00am-6:00am.

Oh I'm sure. We're just not interested in clubs anymore (I don't think Alex ever was). But I'm over it and have been for years.

reread your post. gotcha. yeah honestly a lot of the Colorado TA's are starting to get to that age too lol. We certainly don't go crazy anymore

but with that said I'm going out tonight and tomorrow night

There are some pretty damn decent clubs here in Brisbane, with excellent spaces and great sound. Clubbing here is generally split into two areas. There's the City area, which is generally top 40, hip hop, and mainstream pop-dance, and then there's Fortitude Valley (just called "The Valley" by Brisbanites), which is where all the proper clubs are, and is a designated entertainment precinct. Considering how out of the way Brisbane is, geographically, we get some pretty big names coming through, and quite regularly.

Our clubs are more in line with those in the UK, as far as opening/closing times go. Most clubs will open around 10pm and close at 5am. Brisbane has a stupid law though, which was designed to somehow curb drunken street violence at 5am when everyone got booted out of the clubs. Now, clubs can't let you in at all after 3am, so if you leave a club after that time, you can't be let back in, or go to another club. You're pretty much stuck, and might as well go home. It's pretty weird.

I did the clubing thing to DEATH in my youth, so I don't get that "itch" anymore. We prefer staying in or go to restaurants/bars instead, or just nice family dinners on the weekends.

I'm not opposed to going to a club if someone worthwhile comes to my area.

Where do you live again?

Shitty ones where people always get stabbed.

Closest thing is New Orleans. which is about 4 hours. Houston is 3, but i haven't been there yet to scope it out

I live in S�o Paulo, and despite all the problems we have here (violence, car traffic, fucking ugly city, etc...) one thing must be told about the night life here: it pulses.

It pulses like only a few others cities in the world. It's vibrant and eclectic. You can go to places and see side by side completely different clubs and venues. From lounge bars to hip hop clubs. From totally underground clubs holding DnB nights to mainstream ones. It's awesome.

Obviously compared with Berlin and London, for example, Electronic Music here is shitty. But i can't complain, in the last few months i saw Dettmann at D-Edge, Ben Klock and Umek at Clash Club, Vince Watson, and DJ Marky has his own 'Marky & Friends' night, a quality Drum & Bass event. In June there will be a special event: Marky, Mixmaster Mike (The Beastie Boys), Moodymann and LTJ Bukem. Already bought my ticket. Also, Sasha and Ejeca were here but i skipped them. Not my cup of tea.

D-Edge is my favourite club. It has an intimate and at the same time a psychedelic vibe. The sound system is amazing and people from around the world can be found there. When i saw Dettmann, i met 2 germans and 1 english guy. Nice people but they were totally wasted already when Dettmann started his set.

Also, the basement at Lab Club is sick. It's where you can find the Drum & Bass.

Espera, que dia e por quantos reais!?

Went to a top40 club tonight, since my date wanted to dance; had a good time, once we both got drunk, but I couldn't help but critique how fucking shit the DJ was, afterwards. The head bouncer found me quite hilarious and informative, though, and said I should play out next weekend.

Top40 dj-ing is not that fucking difficult, I don't understand how shit some people can be.

Afterhours Clubs open after 2am. There is no alcohol served whatsoever. Just music and dancing.

Some DJ's play 12+ hour sets way into the afternoon. Tenaglia used to play 23 hour sets at Stereo.

Adam Beyer just played an 8 or 9 hour set there.

Same here. Best club I've ever been to in my life. The clubs I go to here in New York sound a little better, but the vibe at D-Edge is unlike anything, and it does sound pretty great. I actually miss it, it's such a great place.
