I think things are getting exciting...

Finally, finally, finally is there some freakin' excitement in this city...!

If you are a music nerd/scenster/industry follower like me you'll have to admit the scene has been pretty crappy the last little while. While some stellar events have been produced in the past year, there's been a lot of downtime in between these great events...

Now that there's some new Electronic Music events in the works (EDM is a very retarded term btw), with EXPOSED and Circa on the way, and INK turning it up 5 notches with the threat of competition, I'm pretty happy that finally, finally, finally there's some excitement in this stagnant scene.

This is the best thing happening for YOU the clubber. You'll see better bookings, better decor, better parties, etc. Not the same old, same old bookers on Auto Pilot like we've been seeing before.

Things are going to get interesting!

If you have a wide range of interest in edm, it never gets crappy.

Do you really think we had it that bad here all this time and that it's only getting good now?

A favourite personal rant of mine is how lucky we have it in Toronto, imo one of the worlds greatest cities to club in on a consistent regular basis.

we have had it and continue to have it better than most cities.. especially in North America.

Ever since Sonic closed, I think yes, we've had a hole and a lack of excitment in the city. Where are the options?

Now I'm excited because there's options. What's happened to the deep house scene(which I love)in Toronto. Look on other message boards how other Torontonians are lamenting the fact there's nowhere to hear deep house on a regular basis.

Look at Labour Day weekend for example. There are so many events going on where I have to go, "Damn how the fuck am I going to budget my time because there are four parties I want to go to*". That's excitement.

* Kerri Chandler @ The Mod Club, Danny Krivit @ The Next Level, Sean Miller's Homecoming @ The Next Level, and oh yes, Tenaglia @ Guvernment

I shouldn't have to go to a party because there's nowhere else to go. That's how I felt this whole year. Now that there are options, everyone is like, "we had it good already". If you guys want the same old, same old stuff, fine you can settle for that. But I'm excited and that's my opinion.

If there wasn't this increased competition going on, we wouldn't have Tenaglia at Guv...we'd probably get served Deep Dish again.

Ever think the people WANT Tenaglia?

I too am excited with the future. This scene has been stagnant for a while now.

I've been asking myself that since Sonic closed as well...and I also think things are finally looking shiny this fall.

Exactly, you just proved my point.

He was booked because he is a desired DJ, but he was booked because there's increased competition.

Why hasn't he been booked here in the past two years? Why hasn't he played at the place he has been booked for seven years if he's so desired? Obviously, people had to turn it up a notch to get him...and that's exactly my point...the competition is good for this city.

So as much as you enjoyed the "scene" of the past year, watch how great it's going to be now...

I never went to Sonic and have had a blast this summer. TBH, I haven't even really hit up too many Dance/House/Techno/Trance events period and I had a blast. I think you're to caught up being a 'scenester' rather than just a music lover.

I don't think he is here in result of competition. Maybe he hasn't been able to play here as of late? Maybe they didn't want him here, or maybe he didn't want to play here? I don't know, you don't know, no one knows but the people in direct contact. Meh, you should be grateful we have the scene we do. I think it's wonderful and always has something up its sleeve.

between TA and Tribe there are probably a good 35-40 different events listed each weekend.

I've also got a directory of all the decent clubs/lounges in the Toronto area... there's over 100 on my list.

I'd say there's plenty of options.

if it's deep house that's lacking for you, and you know so many people that want a deep house night... maybe you should jump on that and get one going! you could corner the market!

If it takes 4 parties happening at the same time to get you excited I imagine you're a pretty depressing person to be around. lol

100% correct, but from a "scene" point of view it has been pretty stale imo.

You're probably the type of guy that gets excited when a girl looks at you, whereas it takes me a little more to get going...that's all.

Yes Evan, I am aware of the plethora of events going on in this city. All I am saying is everything is going to GET BETTER for the promoters, DJs getting booked, Joe Clubber, etc and everyone is all "Man why you raggin' on Toronto?"

Geez...

All I have to say is........











HOORAY FOR MUSIC THEMED THREAD!!

Hey man, you made the retarded analogies. I didn't want to go there. Anyway, I had no idea who you were but I was impressed with you on the boat cruise this past Sunday.

I guess the people getting defensive are people that are in the scene (I work in the scene too) but the difference is I can admit when it's boring, and up until about now, I think it has been pretty blah.

All I am saying is it's going to get better, and it's a very exciting time now...

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: I think things are getting exciting...

things will either get better... or get ugly.. and then uglier

More options = better, I agree completely

Saying that there was nothing exciting happening or that Toronto was stagnant up until now is what had me scratching my head. I really just asked why you thought that, and you did answer me, it is your opinion.

thanks

once Toronto gets over its house music craze then I think things will get more interesting....honestly, it seems like all the bigger name clubs are going with house music...which I really do enjoy but I would like to see these clubs expand their minds and have a variety of nights throughout each month. There is so much out there to offer the club goers but they are only hearing a small piece of what electronic music can be.
