Not caring for a proper opener and seeing so many failed opening attempts throughout a lot of venues in SF in the last 12-18 months has really fucked nights up and people need to get their asses back in gear. A big reason why people who would go to nights for the same DJ in LA and also SF like the SF nights more 95% of the time is because of the FUCKING OPENERS. The headliners FEED OFF THE OPENERS. THEY GO OFF THE OPENERS. IF THE OPENER DOES NOT DO A GOOD JOB IT LITERALLY EFFECTS MOST HEADLINERS SETS IN THE END. You take the same person and pit them in the crowd where the same headliner is playing on two different nights. At the same venue for argument's sake. On one night, let the opener be careless. On the second night, let the opener do it right I guaran-fuckin-teee you that 99% of them will have enjoyed the second night better. Take most of your top nights an I guarantee you that you'll remember the opener being proper!

Agreed... opener is just as important as the headliner!

trust me... i've seen some shitty ones in my day

(Like DJ PartyAnimal... he sucks ass)

I 100% agree Dave. Every Ferry show I have been to at Ruby, the openers were perfect. The transition for Ferry was effortless.

BUT MY PERSONAL preference is harder stuff all night. In my perfect world, Taj/Dirtyhertz would play banging stuff into Ferry and Ferry would continue the energy level the rest of the night. But knowing that Ferry's style now is less trancy and harder than it has been, such an opener probably wouldnt fit.

I think Ferry tends to play more trancey in SF than he does LA. His last two sets in LA (NYE & 4/20) he played a more electro/housy set.

Unfortunately i will not be able to "bang it" like i normally would because "SUPERSTAR DJ'S" (for some odd reason) have trouble taking it to the next level. But not worry Dirtyhertz & my tag team set will not disappoint!

No need to apologize Taj, we know that you and Dirty will get us in the mood for Ferry. LQQKing forward to hear your vinyls on Ruby's system

How does a trance DJ take it to the next level if the opener is playing in the high 130s and 140s and hard. Play happy hardcore?


I am sure if Dirtyhertz had his way, he'd have the crowd dancing like this...

Note: You NEED to watch this whole video. THE WHOLE THING. It's amazing!

Are we sure Ferry is gonna play trance? The way superstar Djs are now, id be suprised to hear something other than Trance...

Either way, im looking forward to this event. July is coming up.. with so much good talent on the way to SF.

The ad flowing on the mainscreens at 1015 on Saturday night was courtesy of Rich. we were tweaking around with the photo I had from the Sean Tyas Video.. Nice work Rich!

BTW, if anyone on TA has video or something they would like for me to stream, feel free to hit me up. My laptop can tap into the mainscreens at 1015. IM looking for tasteful things to play from time to time, and encourage you all to create something if ya want.

How cool would it be to have your video or advertisement played in the mainroom at 1015 on a Saturday night?

where can i buy pre-sales?

"If" a world class/superstar DJ has been DJIng for a long time he/she should have enough experience to take the music to any level (preferably the next level) that he/she is left with. IMO IMO IMO!

& IN REGARDS TO HAPPY HARDCORE....LETS NOT GET EXTREME WITH THE THOUGHTS HERE...

I understand what you mean, but it's hard for a headliner who plays low 130s to low 140s to even start in his elementy if the opener is playing at 145 and hard. He could do it, and probably do well, but it's not what the crowd expects or comes for in most cases.

Not that I'd ever think you'd play 145....but there are some openers out there who do just that!

Of course, just IMO. lol

& I understand you. Im just in that thes "big" DJ's have sooooooooooooo much trouble feeding off what the crowd has been built up to.

Most openers dont get the "proper" way of how to progress the night. Due to this "big" DJ's now set paramaters/rules that IMO hurt the night.

For some of those DJs, I think they like that when they've been burned a bunch of times by being setup horribly by the opener.
