Originally posted by Orko I can only speak for myself, but for me it's not all that different. The musical talent is what makes a night for me, and well, I'm tired of hear the same locals, week in and week out. The club decor won't change why I go out, to listen to music. No matter where I go, it's the same people, same music, same formula. Some of us are just looking/waiting for a reason to go to Circa, as they were supposed to have brought in different/new talent with their new decor and design. All we are asking is for Circa to give us a reason to go, which is a positive imo, as we are more than open to the idea. The only places that have really stuck out in my mind over the years are Footwork and the old Boa. Guv gets an honorable mention with its big room, big party, multi-room events.

I get what you and other people are saying in here, it's just for me I don't think you'd go to Circa JUST for the music. (It's a different club compared to Footwork and the old Boa or even Guv. Especially considering the atmosphere, and sure the music (no matter how mediocre is currently is). It's not like any other club in that respect so I'd go just for that initially at least and then go regularly if they beef up the talent. The reason to go first is the design, then go later for the music. (I don't see what's so bad to go occasionally to the place...)

It seems somewhat silly to want go to Circa just for its decor/experience, and not the music itself - its decor will be the same on any given weekend, but the music aspect is what has the potential to be different, so it's perfetly natural to want to wait for GOOD music in order to check out the decor.

Naw, not for me. As in not for my first time going there. Obviously I'm not going to go all the time but I don't see the huge deal in going, seeing what it's like and that's it. Instead of saying "Aww their line up sucks it's why I never will go until they start doing something to bring in decent djs" etc. It's childish IMO, if you want to check out the club, then GO check out the club. Nobody says you have to go all the time, or even more then that one time.

And Bal en Blanc 2005. He really took it to a whole new level that night. Vicious is the only word I can think of to describe how he played.

I don't remember who I was talking to about this, but they mentioned that Circa had 4-5 rooms (?) of house. Why the hell would you do that? They made a very good point about finally having an opportunity to have different styles, and genres everywhere, while still staying electronic. I couldn't agree more. Is Toronto's crowd/demand that homogeneous?

Jesus...you know, I really want to hate on Circa as well...but unlike you fucks, I'm gonna wait till I ACTUALLY GO before I pass judgment.

I agree with everyone else, it's obviously supposed to be about the whole experience. Why can't you guys extend your perception of what a good party is and just accept it for that??

There's better ways to be elitists/music snobs than to deprive yourself of new/different experiences. And I don't really see how being narrow minded makes you superior to ANYone.

Some of you really need to lighten up. Don't worry, we won't think any less of you if you go to a club for reasons other than the music alone.


PARTYING: SERIOUS BUSINESS.


























P.S. LIVE SEX!!! Lolololololololol.

I think it is man, in terms of house. The demand is huge for it, every club downtown is either house or hip hop...Circa has the chance to change the dynamic but they just opened. Who knows if it'll change later. I hope it does but that doesn't stop me from going there.

LOL


So true JP.

It's how you got into the music isn't it? (for most people it is). Even if most rooms do play house what if they decide to start something new?

this thread reminds me of the TIL bashing after the Deep Dish party. which by the way, was a great party

At least those that aren't into the music it plays (for now) aren't going and then bitching about it. But in other ways it's worse b/c they're just bitching nonetheless. Meh.

I agree, and they close early too.

i have concluded that many people on TA are just never satisfied and must bitch/complain about something.

They close early because they are on probation, didn't you read the thread?!!

As for the Rauhofer part,

quote:

I think that's bullshit. Supposing that it is more draining on you to play well versus playing mediocre, which is arguable in the first place. It's not like he's moving bricks around - to professional DJs, putting on a set should be pretty much second nature; and should not be excused anyway - there are other professions that require you to put in 100% every time. Mainly though, I think it's reflects badly on his character if he willfully didn't try to put on a good set because he was saving himself for New York. If he wanted to save his energy for New York, he shouldn't have booked the Toronto gig in the first place. There's no reason the people in Toronto should get less for their money than the people in New York when they paid to go see him. Leaves a bad impression on him if he's willing to disappoint his fans in order to get more moolah. Finally, it looks bad on you if you're making up "valid" excuses on his behalf - he's not a god, why do you feel you need to make up excuses for his poor performance?

How does it look bad on me for me making "valid" excuses on his behalf? I am theorizing that he was probably saving his energy for New York and it is only a theory? I would like to know how that makes me look bad.

It could have been also the fact that he hadn't played Toronto in almost 18 months so he didn't know how the crowd would be. Or the fact that he was booked at a Friday party and couldn't really play any encores because he had a flight to catch and he didn't want to disappoint by ripping it up if he had to leave at exactly 8am. Or maybe it was the fact he was playing a lot of promos, unleashing them to an audience to see if they work (DJs do that you know). Maybe a lot of his stuff didn't work and that's that.

What an odd, odd, point you made about making "valid excuses" when it was a theory rather than an excuse....

Transform, October 7th...

I've been three times, and I've had a blast all three times.

However, i was there on Friday night for Randomland, and have yet to go on a Saturday.

My girlfriend didn't have so much of a good time the first time she came with, and wasn't comfortable with the snobby attitude she felt she was getting. however, i had my really cool T-Qualizer that had people coming from across the room to comment on my shirt, so I was enjoying the attention.

The decor is awesome, and is unlike any club I've been too. Only things I've seen on TV and in movies. Lots to interact with. The DJs for the most part on Friday night were pretty bad. Being a techno and trance DJ for seven years has given me an ear for proper mixing, and there wasn't much of it going on outside the main room. At first i took this as a real negative part of the vibe. But then, I thought. I used to have a blast on Friday nights dancing to a bunch of dancey rock tunes "mixed" by DJ Dwight @ the Phoenix on Saturdays. Why can't I now. There were a lot of good tunes played, even if they weren't layered for two minutes and were crossfaded over.


The hype about it has died down a bit, and they are experiencing a bit of a decline in attendance. Although, there has been a few really big nights. They are starting to work with 19+ promoters in this city, giving them rooms to bring their crews out the the night. That may keep things going well for a while.

The drinks are probably the most expensive in clubland. That's my only real complaint about the place.
