The Windsor Scene is really starting to blow up

I never thought I'd see the day that Bad Boy Bill, Max Graham, Chus & Ceballos, Benny Benassi, and Dean Coleman would all come to Windsor in a 3 month span. We've got a nice small venue(the boom boom room) to hold events now, and it's really taking off surprsingly. Have any fellow TA's made the trip down here yet? I really hope this keeps going. I definitley encourage you guys if you haven't come here for a show to make the trip, because you won't be disappointed. There's a website and message board for the venue if you guys are interested - http://www.boomboomroom.ca

Looks like windsor is going back to its roots.

Windsor used to have some of the best parties around. Also Eros and Platinum used to bring in big names back in the 90s. Just make sure Sandra Pupatello doesnt find out or she will do the same to this new scene as she did to the old one.

Hearing daft punk, dj sneak, green velvet, roger sanchez, richie hawtin, jeff mills among others was always a treat back in my uni days in windsor

Like when Blast closed down last year, I thought the scene was totally dead and that I'd have to go across the border or to Toronto to see shows.

Wow, those were the days...don't forget about Underground as well - before Platinum opened up it was one of the most amazing places to go. Good for the people behind Boom Boom Room - it's nice to see that my hometown is indeed going back to its roots.

I have yet to go to the Boom Boom Room, soon enough though.

i will go to boom boom room probably the next time m&s play there.
they told me its good times whenever they're there.

That's awesome to hear Windsor is getting its scene back!
Dubfire reallye enjoyed the show there....and I'm sure many more will as well!

yet sauga still sucks.

it never will.
why? downtown toronto is just a hop and a skip away.

When is C&C gonna be there? Lars told me this at Lawler and I had no idea.

Tuesday June 27th is C&C.

Being able to go until 4am and beyond is definitely a great selling tool to get folks in from Detroit where our 2am curfew crap is stifling when it comes to getting decent sets out of bigger DJs. The Dubfire show was fantastic - I definitely intend to make one more show if possible there.

Re: The Windsor Scene is really starting to blow up

Is that because the DJ's drop "bombs"?

Yes. This is why I go to Toronto so much...I can't stand the smell here in Windsor when DJ's drop their "bombs".

The underground is actually what ruined the whole rave scene in southern ontario. It was there that sandra pupatello toured and came up with her idea about a rave law. That law passed and killed the rave scene in Toronto.

Underground was a shithole. And that shithole destroyed the rave scene in Toronto.

How she could equate a dump like that with a parties such as Syrous and Better Days i have no idea.

Dj Abdul and Jimmy G are from windsor and they play really good tunes. As does Richie Hawtin, also from windsor

Raves OK by her Mom of Richie Hawtin, top DJ in world, disses Liberal anti-party bill By Kevin Wilson WINDSOR -- Hang the DJ, but don't piss off his mom. In the bedroom community of Lasalle, 20 minutes west of Windsor (if you do the speed limit), Brenda Hawtin could be any suburban mother. Brunette, compact, maybe a little hipper than your average mom, she and husband Matt Hawtin have made a comfortable home for themselves here since the 70s. Happy Buddha The well-kept yard and the lot that backs onto a wooded area are as calm and cozy as the happy Buddha statue near the driveway. Mind you, if your son were world-famous techno titan Richie Hawtin, aka Plastikman, you, too, might feel like your flesh and blood was under siege. The rave crackdown now sweeping North America is enough to make an electronic-positive mom fierce. M�re Hawtin is especially furious at Windsor West MPP Sandra Pupatello and her private member's bill, The Raves Act 2000, which recently passed second reading at Queen's Park. If it avoids the fate of most private member's bills and actually becomes law, it will probably be a feather in the cap of the person many see as the biggest threat to Liberal leader Dalton McGuinty. While police chief Julian Fantino has been making life miserable for all-night partiers in Toronto, Pupatello has been on her own one- woman crusade, finessing a rave task force out of Windsor city council and presenting a five-minute video for parents and kids called Dancing In The Dark. The video, featuring Ontario coroner Jim Cairns, uniformed and undercover cops, parents, teachers and kids, warns of the dangers of raves and drugs. And don't forget the private member's bill. Fed up after attending the launch of Dancing In The Dark, Hawtin sent a letter to the Windsor Star. In it, she called on Pupatello to "lay off the rave crowd and put that energy into educating our kids and parents about life, drugs and parenting." "I really did it for the parents," Hawtin tells me. "Drugs are certainly out there, apparently very accessible," and anyone who expresses shock that drug use goes on at the place where young people, music, and dancing intersect is either naive or cynical. When that person is a politician, charges of making hay on the back of an easy target should be expected. "It's a political game," says Hawtin, but what's worse, she says, is that it's an intrusion into the parenting arena. Parents have to prepare kids for the many temptations that confront them well beyond the confines of the rave scene. She wonders why Pupatello is singling out the techno scene. "I think she's watched (the movie) Footloose one too many times," says Hawtin. "She kept on homing in on the raves." It's a sore point with Hawtin, given the fact that "kids who take illegal substances take them, rave or not. Unfortunately, drugs are widely available, from school grounds to public parks." Her own sons, she says, weren't angels, "but they got through their teens all right, I think." Edgy confidence Younger son Matthew, a visual arts grad, has designed cover art for his brother in addition to installations at major galleries. Brenda Hawtin has the edgy confidence of someone who's sold real estate for 16 years. "It's ironic, really," she says. "When I was pregnant with Richard, and Matt would be playing his music (Hawtin p�re turned Richie on to Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream at an early age), I would tell him, 'This kid's going to come out deaf or with his fingers in his ears.'" Now, however, she's fed up with politicians and police chiefs slagging off the scene her firstborn is such an integral part of. Sitting in a coffee shop just down the road from Platinum, an after- hours club in downtown Windsor, Pupatello tells me she thinks Richie Hawtin tries to promote safe raves. But of his mom she says, "Unfortunately, she's not getting it. I mean I'm not here to solve everybody's issues. I understand there's a vested interest for her -- it's her son's business." Pupatello, for her part, feels she's straddling a fine line between "those who are on the far left of the spectrum, (who) want to do nothing" and the right wing "who want me to go much further in the bill-writing." But surely these folks, left, right and centre, were young once. Did they, or Pupatello for that matter, in their reckless youths never smoke a joint or two at a bush party? Asked directly, Pupatello admits to hitting the bush but declines to answer the joint question "on the grounds that my mom would be really upset with me."

I give them credit for bringing in some good acts, but boom boom room is officially the worst name for a club of all time.

Funny that Underground was around long before Platinum...hmmm...you're blaming the end of the rave scene in Toronto on one little club in WINDSOR??? Sure Sandra toured the club and passed the said laws but come on...do you really think that she wouldn't have toured any other club if Underground was not around.

I was only making a comment on the fun and good times myself and many others had there. Not once did I mention the quality of the parties or compare them to Syrous and Better days. Stop taking things to the extreme and take my post for what it was - a comment on the good times had there and the appreciation for the new club in Windsor that are bringing great music and DJ's to a great venue.
