bigger & better things from a smaller space? c'mon!

give them the main room-more than just once a month.. that would expand their fan base and give them the oppurtunity to grow the Toronto house scene.

plus not even allowing the guys to have a send off party to promote their new nights..what the fuck is that all about?!

no good can come from this, unless this turns out to be a mini comfort zone lol

this fucking bites

Its a short sighted response to a larger problem; and I've lost a lot of respect for the people who've made this decision.

The people need to speak up & take action !!

anyone good at drawing up petitions?

This isn't minimal addict...

Fuck off....

bitch...

shows how much you know about the industry. if z103 did anything, it was educate the uneducated. i think its really funny how many people here (or are in "the scene") put themselves on a pedestal because they are in the scene and know the music. we were all uneducated at one point. there is no need to hate because the hate is what could destroy us.

true.

hell man.. i remember back in the day.. 95/96.. the Dr. Trance show saturday nights at 6pm on 103.5(which was then Hot FM, then Hits FM).. We also had Flipside and his show trippin on Energy on 107.9.

Personally i don't listen to z103.. but I know enough to at least acknowledge what kind of a roll the station played in the early days of building this scene (and more specifically the rave scene) in Toronto.

I also find is extremely gay of people that hate on it and meanwhile think that Radio One is the bees knees. Guess what Radio One is over on the other side of the pond.. it's mainstream radio.. top 40 even! LOL

Thank you, z103.5 for introducing a lot of people to EDM.

But I probably will not go to an event with predominantly z103.5 crowd. Ugh

PS: Long live Energy 107.9

If there's one thing you can guarantee is that the gallery will be JAMMED.

when you have to go to the dance, bring your best. They just did.

Upon further reflection, although these new changes at The Guv (rock in the D'luxe, mashup in The Drink) could and probably will cause some clashes in crowd, I wonder if The Guv is really pushing to start getting EDM out to the masses. I think a huge market is developing in the mainstream for EDM and "rave"-esque clubbing. People, mainly the youth generation, are getting bored of the hip-hop, emo-rock, etc from the past generation. For example, it seems like 75% of the conversation I hear with my friends outside of the scene in the past 2 weeks is about how Tiesto is coming and how excited they are for it.

I think this move could potentially bring a lot of new blood to our scene, which is a good thing.

It seems that all those whining about "the z-103" crowd are also those who whine that we don't have big festivals like the do in Europe. Do you think the 10s of thousands that go to these festivals are "in-the-know" cool dudes like all of you? Most of the people who go to European festivals and Ibiza barely know any, or none of the DJs playing. They just know that it's Ibiza, Dance Valley, Sonar, Timewarp, etc.

Also, here's a bit of a newsflash: Guvernment parties are already pretty mainstream. So sorry, but I don't think anyone would consider you "trendy", or "in-the-know" for going to The Guv. Most of the people in this category probably don't even really care about this move because they barely/rarely go The Guv anyway.

I couldn't agree anymore. Straight from the words of a friend a couple nights ago - 'I think I'm going to go to Sasha. Sasha is a good one right? I really want to check it out'

I think it's exciting to see more people interested in the EDM scene, it's only going to make the scene bigger and better.

I still fail to see the great benefits to the club goer for the music becoming more mainstream. If anything it benefits everyone else involved but the club goer. As the music is becoming more mainstream....tracks are being produced faster and faster....in hopes the producer will find a hit and reap the rewards. This means the market is being flooded with too many tracks and a lot of those being garbage tracks. Unfortunately, the mainstream market...which is larger then the "underground" market isn't as choosy about what becomes a hit and you start seeing more garbage being considered hits. Then the DJs are almost forced to play this garbage because the thats what the majority of the people want to hear and then the clubs are flooded with this garbage. Its the same problem that happened with Hip Hop. Early 90s Hip Hop was great because it wasn't in the mainstream. Now, every person who can throw a rhymn together has an album....and most of the songs are complete garbage.

Bigger doesn't always mean better...I would suggest bigger rarely means better.
