-- Stereo's new "concept" Saturdays - Love it or Hate it ?
Pages (4): « 1 2 [3] 4 »

The funny thing was that some of my friends went to Parking to listen to Angel and then decided to head over to Stereo only to dish out more money to listen to more of the same.
I'm so happy I started a new concept this year... I don't go to massives (ex: Bal en Blanc) or afterhours (ex: Stereo) without knowing who the DJs are.

Originally posted by Trancission I m not gonna repeat what everyone says but personally I used to be a big Stereo fan but I didn�t go there since it re-opened. You guys have a good sound system, we get it, okkkkk but what people care more for is the music and quality of Djs that get booked every week. I am not going to name and compare clubs and list the DJs that were booked last year but with this policy u r disrespecting people by telling them music doesn�t matter it is all about Stereo.

Nicely put - I concur fully.

They should not book a DJ who is playing earlier in the night at a club down the street that share the same client base. I would be pissed too to see the same DJ again in the same night. But of course if they knew it was angel playing, they would not of gone to STEREO, so I guess the concept works...

i like the new club, but i think we can all agree that the sound system leaves a lot to be desired compared to before. I really hope they fix this, as this club has all of the tools to be great.

Friday i was in physical pain almost from the low end, and for the first time ever after a stereo night, my ears were ringing the next day. It is not as clear as it used to be

The bass lacks that thump in your chest effect, and when it's cranked, the mids force my fingers to my ears. A bit of muffle the next couple days too. Stereo in its heyday would've never let this happen, although the last year or two before the fire, it was at an all time low.

I guess what I'm saying is it's much better than it was, but it has room for improvement. I saw someone post that Angel was going to be let loose on the system, but who knows how much truth there is to that. His take on the sound was always my favorite, when I first started going. And that was before Morales threw his wallet into the equation.

why are you sure i'm a stereo employee and hiding if I do comments or simply giving my opinion? lol come on

For all the people who vote against. Do every of these people went once? guest not, cuz you can't pay that price and just party without known who's playing cuz you're a connaisseur or too hot! Go fridays,if you're against. point of the fucking line! stereo don't care, they decide that. last saturday I went and it was packed. Yes it was waxman and angel.

nothing wrong with giving your opinion, you just seem a little biased... i've been before, I had a great time, I just don't know why they can't give us a headsup when they bring in big talent... personally id skip a night like waxman and angel, you can see these guys around town for free... however id love to know when vibe/dformation/victor/etc are on the bill!

They probably book them, you just can't know before they show the name on the screens,trust me,nobody will tell you inside,doorman,no one. It's on their tickets too. You can probably see if they're playing close of montreal and you have a chance.

Yeah, go form a line on a Friday night and feel the full concept, since you'll be waiting 24 hours to find out who's spinning.

Originally it was supposed to be DT this past Sat, although I don't know how they were going to pull that off with his booking fee. I guess when people got to the door and saw the $70 cover, their faith would've been truly tested.

I feel for Stereo though, their anniv month didn't work out quite as planned:

Junior Vasquez - No show
Tony Humphries - Showed at 7 am
Vibe - Called out sick (although D-Formation rocked it)
DT - Would've been sweet

Honestly, who needs celebrations anyway. As long as they stick to their guns and keep doing what they believe, we can be thankful that we have this gem of a club in our back yard.

stop hiring bad dancers

im not talking shit about stereo, i loved it when i went for tiga, just saying they should get rid of this stupid concept... but they wont and I know that so that's fine!

People wanted the Stereo return since a year and half whatever, after they complained of the policy without going see the club once. Also, don't want to pay,beeing on the guestlist. So you think owners wants you? no,they want people who have money to spend and people who wants to have fun. People complaining, go once a friday,after you'll see if you want to spend 35$ saturdays without to know who's playing.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying here.

I went once on a Friday (for Behrouz) and am very happy with my decision to have done so for a DJ I like rather than the odds that have panned out on Saturdays.

I need to share my opinion on this

guys, it's not YOUR stereo... it's a club owned by people who want to make a profit. And from what I saw the 2-3 times I have been there so far is that there is a much needed new crowd... that just wants to have a good time...regardless of who the DJ is.

It almost feels as if now that many of the old stereoheads do not go there anymore it's easier for newbies to appreciate the club. Maybe I�m wrong but that�s what it feels like, that�s the impression I got from looking at all these new and younger-looking people having fun�

Business-wise, I think the new concept is a great strategy. Let�s be honest, the concept of booking the same 5-6 tribal DJs, letting everyone in for free, and losing money on any other night hasn't been very successful for the past 10 years.

So I think this is a clear message to the nostalgic Stereoheads complaining about the new concept :
Stereo is no longer targeting you!

AMEN!! Are you god? seriously, what a logical post!
If people still asking dj's like d-formation,vibe or whatever dj's who came already 10293847 times, face it and if stereo want to announce them they will,if not step out of your nostalgy.

paskal, welcome to the proud grecian formula user foundation

The owners were smart to plan for the fact that many (most) of the first generation of Stereo heads wouldn't be coming out anymore, and adjusted their business model accordingly. They are using their position to try to correct what they see as a culture that is being led down the wrong path. I applaud that. My personal position stands, but I really respect the risk they are taking to do some good in this scene.

Of course, but you have to expect some resistance, especially when for a while there their ad campaign literally was "My Stereo"

Instinct, Passskal shared his thoughts clearly and with maturity. See how it's done?

i have to say that Tommy is beyond nice.

spot on.

it may not be a concept that personally i'm happy with but i've come to accept it. as like most of you on these boards, i am a bit picky with what i want to hear on a given night, but the vast majority of people aren't as picky as we are. all they care about is that the music is good, whether it be tech, prog, house, whatever.

most nights have been busy, and that's the only sign they need to continue with their concept. from a business standpoint, it just makes sense.

would a calderone night get promo under these new rules?

nope. He was there for Halloween (a Sat) and no promo. Several friends were pissed as they would have gone out with us had they known it was Vic.

sucks man

maybe theyre just cutting costs for promotion after the fire and all haha, though promo prolly isint that expensive beyond getting a flyer drawn up and printed, dunno

It's not because of the price of the flyers because they're still making them. However, they always state the same "concept" crap for saturdays and they vary the colour of the font from week to week.

so neone know whos there this sat?
