Nice video. Thanks for unlocking it, I couldn't view it b4. I believe the mashup is: Super 8 & Tab's Black is the New Yellow vs Above & Beyond's No One on Earth

Another reason Trance doesn't come around is that a lot of these guys are in Europe and Ibiza for the summer. Its a hell of a lot of money to fly these guys in for one night and then fly them back, thats at least $2,000 just in plane tickets if their coming from Ibiza plus the hotel and booking fees, it gets expensive real quick.
Well Donnie, time to put up or shut up. Your claim that trance DJs are all in Ibiza and plane tix cost too much just flew out the window. Gareth Emery is in Orlando on Thursday 6/24/10. Last time I checked Orlando is still in Florida, and not on an island off the coast of Spain.
So you guys need to book Emery real quick for 6/25/10 @ Gryphon. I guarantee you the money Gryphon made with Above & Beyond will more than cover the plane ticket price, and you will love how he plays ....

What about the date you were setting up with Markus? That would be a hot ticket
Posted by Donnie Gryphon on May-19-2010 16:12:
I gotta check we had something lined up for the 25th not sure if that is confirmed as of yet but I will do my best to make that happen.
Sneak of Confirmed dates so far:
May 21st - Oscar G
May 29th - Chris Lake
May 30th - Robbie Rivera
June 12th - DJ Rap
July 30th - Marco V.
Sept. 5th - Funkagenda
Aug 13th - Crystal Method
There's some other really good things in the works so, will keep posted as I learn more.
As for Markus haven't heard back from the booking manager so don't think that is going to happen anytime soon.

Thanks for all your continued efforts. I hope "some other really good things in the works" means alot more trance. We already proved we will support trance big time, and you guys need to build on that momentum. Emery & Schulz would each be great additions, among many others...

Markus booking manager won't get back to us, and that means none of us we all have tried over here.
Emery not gonna happen next month we already have a lot of money laid down for the month of June. Would love to bring him in but it just isn't feasible right now.
Everyone forgets we run two clubs, that's double the bookings, double the staff and double the days that we're open.

Not to argue, cause it's really your guys loss if you do not book more trance, you are just leaving easy money on the table.
According to your list Gryphon only has DJ Rap booked in June (6/12), and then no one else until the end of July. (Marco V on 7/30). So is the DJ Rap booking really breaking the bank over at Gryphon
And do not tell me that glorified hallway attached to Gryhon is the other club you are talking about. If so who is booked there in June, maybe Prince or U2? Come on now Donnie, nice try.
Lastly Emery tix just went on sale for his Orlando show. They are only $10. So exactly how much do you think he is charging to play? Not much at all for the club to be able to charge $10, which is 25% of what you guys were charging some people for A&B. As for Markus, everyone knows he loves South Florida and playing here. I doubt his people would completely ignore you guys if you tried to book him
Thanks again for your efforts and I did not mean to rant. But where there is a will there is a way, so if Gryphon really wants to they can bring trance and profit at the same time ...

Clubs can charge $10 because DJ fees are not set in concrete or as high as some people want everyone to believe they are. In fact DJs can & will negotiate their fees, just like anyone else negotiates prices for services. For example, Markus played @ Blue a few years ago on a saturday night to a small crowd of TAs when Groove Eric was still doing the "Fix" parties. That was a 100% free show. Obviously he negotiated his fee, down to $0, when he could've played at a bigger club and made $5000 to $10,000. Also Corsten has been in the top 5 or so for a decade, obviously he's going to cost a bundle and tix will be a fortune right?? Not quite. He plays in Tampa and Orlando all the time and the tix usually start at $10 & then get raised to $15. Corsten also played @ Mansion a few years ago, and even those pesky greedy French fukkers only charged $20. Clearly Corsten wants to play in Florida and negotiates his fee to do so at these prices.

Wow seriously.. Give D a break. It is actually a really complicated process to get some of these shows to roll thru at the right time. Negative attitudes really don't help the situation. Gareth Emery is coming to Orlando because I have been begging the guy to come here for over a year. It is great there is support for Trance and you WILL see more and more great shows roll thru Florida as we see the support for these shows. I promise you that we are not riding around in jet planes eating caviar every day Posted by jeffhtg on May-21-2010 02:55:

Dj Rap is the only booking that is released to the public now. You think I would really say that she is breaking the bank, come on. We have some good bookings coming in June just waiting on a couple things to get finalized before I can say anything.
If by "glorified hallway" you mean Pangaea then yes. It doesn't matter what you think of that club, it still is a club and does very very well. Everyone that looks from the outside in completely forgets about all the over that comes with running a venue. Staff, vendors, djs, utility bills, promoters, everyone that is in the office working all day 6 days a week to make things happen. Its real easy to say book this guy or this guy but at the end of the night you don't see the numbers and have to deal with the downside. When something looks like a great night to you, it actuality it wasn't the greatest night for us.
Example:
Above & Beyond yea it looked like an EPIC fucking night to all of the guests!! Yea it was an awesome night of music and a packed house but in reality and business land, bar sales were low. From what we have noticed and other clubs down here have noticed is that the Trance acts come and the bar sales slack. Maybe your doing different things more power to you, do what you want but this is a reason we don't bring acts like this that often. Why would we? when we can book our Residents for a tenth of the cost and do 50% more bar sales and the people love our residents and they pack house just like Friday was packed.
At the end of the day this is a BUSINESS and we do our best to keep the different variety of all our guests happy. Being around for 5 years we are obviously doing something right. 5 years is an eternity, especially for a club down here. Trust me though we will bring a couple more trance acts, it was a good night musically and energy wise in the club was amazing.
Our whole thing is that we like to mix it up genre wise, so that we can please everyone and it gives everyone the opportunity to see what a great venue we have to offer. I know I have been getting calls from people that came on Friday and have been asking what is going on the next couple of weeks. If you were in there last Saturday it was a great night with our Resident Roland, he packs house and holds that dance floor until early in the am hours.
In the past year we have brought a great mix of talent:
-Matt Darey
-Dubfire
-Infected Mushroom
-Cedric Gervais
-Funkagenda
-Patrick M
-Louis Puig
-Timo Maas
-Johnathan Peters
-Serge Devant
-Steve Lawler
-Terry Hunter
-Junior Vasquez
-Danny Tenaglia
-Victor Calderone
-Oscar G
-D:Fuse
-Mark Farina
-Paul Oakenfold
-Trent Cantrelle
-Jojo Flores
-Above and Beyond
We have Chris Lake, Robbie Rivera, DJ Rap, Lee Burridge(TBC), Marco V., Funkagenda, The Crystal Method all coming up. Show me one club down here bringing such a mix of talent across the genres. We cover it all and thats the main reason we have been here for 5 years and hope to be around for another 5 years.
We do hear the people talking and we're gonna work on getting more Trance but as for right now we are booked solid up until August.
IMO that is why the scene has fallen off down here. Everyone is so fucking genre picky, oh I'm not going he plays house, I wanna hear trance or vice versa. Everyone wants this and that to happen but only support the venue when they bring what that person wants to hear. More than likely that person will never come to that venue again because they don't like what is played there the other 51 weeks out of the year. Sure I don't like trance but I went out and I enjoyed myself fully last Friday, hell I even caught SVD and PVD during conference, wasn't my cup of tea but I went out and supported and watched and listened to them for a couple of hours, luckily I was at Space and went upstairs and watched, Adam Beyer, Paul Ritch and Ida Engberg destroy the loft and then caught Chus & Ceballos and Mark Knight tagging teaming on the terrace.
I wanna be a pusher for the scene and get it back to where it was in the late 90's, those were fun days! I like going out now and catching acts or genres that I might not listen too. Thats the only way venues will survive.
A good example of this is a couple weeks ago, I wanted to make it down to the Pickle to catch Henrik Schwarz because I've been on this deep house kick, since I've been playing a lot of opening sets. None of my group of friends wanted to go down because they watched videos of him and said they would be bored. In the end I had a couple people on another forum I'm on ranting about how he blew that place up with an amazing live set. The words I heard from people were "Life changing" and now I'm kicking myself for missing that, believe me it won't happen next time. In the end we need to support the venues so that they can continue to bring different acts.
Just my two cents, sorry for the long rant
