Ignorance will always be plentifull in this world i guess Me? Im living life enjoying great tunes no matter what it is
I thought it was the lack of good drugs!!!

Closed off was not a bad thing. It was nice and cool which is good for Miami's 10 month summer.

Now if they did paint a fuking sky on it - yuck. the clear plexi still had an outdoor feeling minus the nappy hair/heat exhaustion.

I for one hope the hip hop is taken out. That mainroom is disgusting!!!!

To some it up, all I'm saying is they don't give two shits if there's 25 of us sitting here saying the bookings suck because there is 3,000 other people that will be in the venue every weekend spending money.

First off it is not just 25 of us on here that think Space has gone to shit. I know alot of people that used to go to Space who are not TAs & never have been, some do not even like trance, and they would not step foot inside Space now, NEVER.

Second & most importantly, Space not giving a shit the last few years is exactly why the quality of people and quantity of people that go to Space has steadily decreased to their lowest levels ever and basically have gone to shit. It is so bad LP even HAD TO move hip-hop into the mainroom, which LP himself would've told you never ever would happen 5 years ago.

LP clearly cared what people wanted & thought when he came up with the concept for Space, designed the club and installed that massive sound system in 2000 and then again in 2003 when they moved to the new location. That is exactly why Space was successful from the start at both locations, because LP actually gave a shit and deserves credit for that. LP also cared what people thought and wanted when he booked DJs @ Space the first 5 or 6 years, which is why the club & brand became huge and successful. The day LP and Space stop caring what their customers think or want is the day they should close forever, PERIOD.

And let me be clear that I wish Lp and Space all the luck in the world. They are a home grown business by people from Miami, which I never want to see fail. I truly hope this closing, renovation and reinvention by Space brings something different & great for us all to enjoy again. We'll see if that happens or not ...

+1000000000000000000000000000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! even worse if your not a smoker. its fuking annoying as hell to inhale second hand smoke all night that has nowhere to go because the ceiling is closed off.

that pretty much did it for me. i enjoyed most of the "better" house they were booking but mainly went cause of the open air. when they closed it off i gave up.

I think the nights are Saturday & Sunday. The sliding-scale & higher prices they are charging for Sunday makes 2 things clear, LP is trying to make as much $$$ as possible and PVD @ Mansion for $30 is a no-brainer over this ...

Eventhough Steve Angello to me is a train wrek since he plays all over the place.
Hes an up and coming morillo, last time he came turnout was massive. That they were talking about booking him again and do the entire club just him since it was sold out last time and shut down the loft around 2am.

Space will be closing for renovating after this night and will reopen in the Fall, date is TBD.
Heard from some people the renovation plan, sounds like a little to much. Will see how it ends up before saying anything.

Ugh!!! You're telling me dude. They seriously need to get rid of that nasty ghetto. But everytime I go it's packed as hell, so I doubt it

yea space used to be the shit.

Thank you for the pictures, i loved it when it was like that. From a business standpoint it was a good move for space to do that since the fire marshal really started cracking down in early 2005. The club was able to maintain its following for 5 more years after that although the club had to start selling tables a lot cheaper.

Good times, I hope they bring back the luster of a true super club like the original space34, amazing lights, amazing sound (twice what it has now in the main room) and awesomely responsive crowd.

This video is the only memory i have from it back then. Its a shame its a Tiesto video

Club Space will close its doors after Labor Day Weekend for renovations. The infamous land of early - morning fist - pumping will be using the holiday weekend to host two "Closing Parties" before an indefinite hiatus.

Space's web site announced the closing with a newspaper-style statement, claiming the temporary closing was modeled after Ibiza's seasonal closings. The statement mentioned no remodeling, but an independent promoter for the club confirmed it to Crossfade. Attempts to contact venue management were not returned.

The web site statement went on to say that a seasonal closing has been brewing for the last decade. It claims Space wanted to host "an event of such magnitude that it would eventually become legendary enough to be anticipated as summers begin." Unfortunately, this doesn't really hold -- while Ibiza's party season is during the summer, Miami's doesn't pick up until the fall. Besides, Ibiza as a whole is one of the world's party meccas -- not just one singular nightclub in a fickle nightlife scene?

Despite Space's glossy take on its hiatus, many in the nightlife community aren't buying it, and the rumor mills are spinning. Those who have played in Miami Clubland for more than five minutes know that terms like "remodeling" or "renovation" are usually cover-ups. Nightlife forums are jumping from stories of money mismanagement to potential ownership changes, with everyone claiming to have the "inside information."

So will Space join the mega-club drainage like MI-VI or will the venue rejoin the company of fortress-strength staples like B.E.D.? Only time will tell.

Damn that would be disappointing if Space closes down for good

So I started this thread in TNL, to which I must have struck a nerve cause I get a supposed threatening msg on fb to stop posting. It goes as follows...

But rumor has it that a certain big named club isn't just closing for 3 weeks, but that this is also because they have no liquor license as of September and they are not wanting to re-issue them a new one!!!

Hmmmmmm...like I said this just now landed on my lap(from someone pretty damn close to someone else at this place) and it is a "rumor", but I'm sure HTM can find out more for the people of TNL!!!

To which I later received this on fb...

Listen you bicth if you kno wut is good 4 u you will shut up and stop post on tnl cause i will make u regreted ok

Damn talk about hitting a sore spot!!! Seriously...get a life and a clue fucktard!!!

OMG PRICELESS...btw...really smart thing to threaten someone on a msg.

Why do I sense a scorned party goer?! Cause I highly doubt that anyone from this club would bother to waste their time with something like that!!!

This thread isn't about you. It's about a nightlife establishment in the Miami area that, whether we like it or not, some people want info on. If you don't care, it's pretty easy to not click on the thread.

It's fucking rocket science, I know.

Don't get your panties in a bunch Katie Couric. Just keep up the great work with all the breaking news headlines you are providing TA with in this wonderfully educational thread of yours
