San Jose, Mar 14-20?

anything going on in San Jose between March 14th - 20th? a couple friends and I are goin out there for spring break and wondering if any good djs are gonna be playing.

I STRONGLY recommend you take the 45 minute drive to San Francisco on March 19th to hear Gabriel & Dresden @ 1015. Was a huge blast in January...they have a residency...hope they do a 5+ hour set again!

I can try to see if anything is going on at the Spy Club in San Jose that Friday, but trust me...nothing will touch the vibe G&D will bring....Spy Club doesn't get good stuff too often, but it'll get a Donald Glaude or say Christopher Lawrence every once in awhile...but he's playing there on Feb 14, so March is probably too early for him to return.

Most stuff happens up here in SF....can keep an eye on this thread as I keep it updated.

Might be a special thing or two happening during that week here because of WMC being the week before and all the DJs being in the US.

And what do you know...just checked in, and yep...G&D will be a 5+ hour set!

awesome, dunno what we're gonna have for transportation, so I'll have to see what I can do. I'm not especially a big fan of G&D, but it would certainly be a good nite. thanks for the reply!

They were sorry last time. Really bad mixing by them two.

Beside you give anybody a 5 hours set there will be lots of filler tracks

1. They didn't play any filler tracks that I can recall. All top-notch tracks played. Dunno what you are talking about.

2. True, their mixing isn't the best. Critique most DJs, and you will find some issue with their mixing (or something else)...but, what they know how to bring is a vibe. 1015 had an insane vibe when they played there in January...everyone was just having so much fun...if you come to a club with the mission of being overly critical of a set, you are going to have many nights you feel are boring or whatever. I fell into this trap and still am working my way out of it and now I am finding myself having fun to DJs I would typically go in and just overly analyze.

I can say that dave and josh can have a night of flawless mixing. They played for almost 3 hours opening to Tiesto in October and I nor anyone can remember one bad mix...they blew a lot of people away that night...was great.

Man i was there in oct also and yes they were good that night. I been goin to 1015 for the last 6 years and that wasn't even close to be an "insane vibe". Maybe you were standing up front or something but i know when there's an insane vibe there. Hell i don't think they even open the upstair room that night. Anyway, i think they're excellent producers and still a big fan but that night their mixing sounded amateur. Its my opinion and you have yours

what clubs are around that area anyway, might be good to know, so I know what's close.

The SpyClub in Downtown San Jose, CA www.thespynightclub.com 21+ 9pm to 2am also check out www.armannthebrainchild.com for upcoming events at that club. March info should be there is a few days.

Cheers...

http://bluetattoosj.com/ <- one night some DJ played an Alice Deejay remix

If you need ladies passes, let me know I have several left

I know at least two of us aren't 21, so scratch SpyClub unless we get snuck in.

Well, then you're stuck out of G & D, because 1015 Folsom is 21+.


Which pisses me off to no end.

The small room upstairs (aka "The Blue Room") is rarely open these days, unless someone books it for a special purpose or if a DJ is expected to cause major overcrowding in the main room and they will flow the music to the front room and the blue room and open it up. Other than special nights ((ie. Sunday's Spundae anniversary party this Sunday), 1015 completely controls that room, not Spundae.

Crowds these days at 1015 aren't that huge anymore...damn economy. When Armin played back in October, the Blue Room wouldn't have been open if it wasn't for a special private party that occupied the blue room for the first few hours of the night.

The main upstairs room (aka. The VIP Room) was open that night with DJ Infinity (a TAer) and a few hottrance.com DJs. They were playing some great stuff.

And when I am discussing the vibe, maybe "insane" is the wrong word to use...I mean more of a "fun" "just having a great time" vibe...it just appeared like everyone was having a lot of fun and was there to party that night. They weren't focused on the mixing and all and just enjoying the tracks being played (I will admit the mixing was far from great, but at least there were no immediate harsh cuts...want that, go see Thievery Corp DJ..the most horrible show I have ever seen)...the only real distraction that got to people was the volume issues, which was 1015's fault not G&Ds....the limiter on the sound system kept kicking in for some reason.

I'll surely be back there for them on March and April 16...then again, I'm constantly at 1015...lol

And speaking of 1015, I really wish Release would stop booking the big DJs for Ruby Skye on Friday Nights for their "Square" party....1015 SUCKs on Saturday nights now...there ain't shit to do in the city as far as clubbing except for when maybe D:Fuse comes....Dave getting Angry....ARRAGHGHHHH!!
