Saturday nights in Vancouver suck for anyone who digs anything dirty or over 130bpm.

discuss.

Its very hard to get a reliable electronic clubnight going because of the massives. One or two raves happen, and thats it your night is over, because bar owners dont care about wahts going on they want money.

there are no top 40 raves. even concerts hardly make a didnt because of the hours they run. Until we get a mega club like government which combines the clubbers and ravers into one massive, it will be very hard to do except in very small venues.

WE NEED A NEW AFTER HOURS

and small venues don't work. the other thing is promotion. the first harding appearance got huge promotion adn the club was filled to the brim. it seems to me, its all about getting the right person/people at the right time.

it's also about how hard nosed some people can be. i know my friends from high school and such listen to hiphop/top 40/etc and i've asked them to come to events i'm at/nye/etc, and they come up with the lamest excuses.. the one guy from my university i did bring, who's never really listened to trance before, loved it, and wanted to keep coming back. seems that another issue is getting people to open their minds. i go to their top 40/hiphop stuff, because i want to be with my friends, not because of the music (most times, i'm up for that kind of stuff once in awhile).

but yes, most clubs/bars are interested in money, are interested in having patrons, etc. to them, top 40/rock/hiphop/alternative sells locally (and it does, the mainstream radio stations/pop culture/local culture all aid to that as well as local promotion and relationships/promotional events).

as sean said, until there's a venue willing to support the music/scene on a regular basis, and until that venue and its supporters can rise above the absolute underground underground (im not shooting for something you'd hear about in ibizia and having people travel to from across the globe here!), then clubs and owners are going to continue to turn their backs as we've seen over the last few months.

There's nothing wrong with underground if you ask me.... sure maybe we could actually get some SLEEP Saturday's after we're robbed of sleep Thurs, Fridays... I think that if the EDM scene here sold out... I'd probably head back to Europe STAT!... I like the intimate small clubs we get to see our favourite big name dj's here!

no doubt, from day 1 i've been against commercializing EDM. but on the other hand, im also tired of the scene getting the backhand.

i dunno i just got home from tokyo lounge and seany was doing a dandy job if you ask me.

Thanks buddy!

I started off at 123 BPM and worked it up to 128 towards the end.

Not fast enough for the majority of the TA crew...

Trance Nights

My buddy and I just started a new residency at Viva on Saturday nights and the whole promotion thing is somewhat difficult. It seems that people come out in gobs for the big name DJ's but for the local stuff, it seems to be a little light, especially out in Richmond. I am sure that you guys have all had a chance to check out Viva and I know it has a history. Try and come out sometime and see whats going on, we are open to a number of different ideas and concepts, so if anyone has any, let me know.

As for the Trance scene out here, it is definetly sparse so its good to support others whenever possible, we would be more than happy to support in return.

/rant, im just giong nuts but this is fun. and probly not even on topic. BUT!


FACT : 87% of statistics are made up on the spot!

i say the higher the BPM the lower the quality of people

more BPM more unsocial activity, less interesting people, less educated ,more water is consumed. Individual "class" goes down, and more water is consumed.
More BPM has less sex.
More BPM has less thought.
More BPM has younger ages.
More BPM has bad teeth.
More BPM enjoys car alarms that much more.
more BPM is better at DDR (dance dance revolution)
More BPM has stronger forearms and wrists
MORE BPM has longer hair,
More BPM has larger collection of fake fur materials.

hmm i will add to this later its pretty fun and kills time, and gets me thinking.


oh ya more BPM less money made by djs?....thats a tricky one........... Considering armin is being praised like no tommorrow.

He said in one of his shows, ASOT 187 i think that trance is always back and forth.

ah well some of it is pretty sweet,

Saturday nights aren't difficult to promote. There are several reasons why you're night will become a dismal faliure.

You're not a real DJ.

Are you aware of the history at Viva? Obviously not. The BEST trance DJs in the city were playing there for the past 3 years, not to mention out of town guest DJs like Misja Helsloot, John Askew, Ronski Speed and Niklas Harding.

The trance scene is hardly 'sparce' as you call it. I'm sure it seems that way for someone as out of touch as yourself, but that's to be expected. You might be able to fool clueless people with your foolish banter, but people who are educated will see through your fabricated nonsense.

Vancouver's EDM Scene has gone down the

that toilet looks too nice for the vancouver EDM


i think the reason why vancouver clubs will not be like ones out in TO is because clubs in toronto are the actual party promoters. they arrange for DJs to come, they promote the night, etc, etc. so if the club doesnt get the people, they lose money. here, from what i can tell, clubs normally get money no matter how well or bad the promoter does. therefore, clubs out in toronto get bigger crowds because it is in their direct interest to bring in as many people as possible

i have realized something. many promoters in vancouver are trying to go after other guys for personal reasons. it is no longer about the music, it is all about being thought of as the best ===> the mucho attitude. so until some tempers can be cooled down, feelings healed and and differences reconciled, we are stuck with a rather shitty scene

^^^ There aren't any venues to throw parties at!!!

Any attempt at holding a liscenced all night event costs a rediculous amount of money and just isn't worth the investment. I'm not sure what the scene is like in Toronto, but I reckon there are a lot more venues suited for doing electronic nights, later closing hours etc. It's not so much a problem with the promoters IMO as it is the by-laws/closing hours, lack of venues etc.

that too ^^
i guess i shouldve mentioned the conservative government we have in BC and vancouver

Hmnn... I always work Saturday nights anyways. Just so long there are decent tunes on the nights that I have off (Monday, Tuesday, and sometimes Wednesday and Friday), I'm happy.
