SO true.

Totally agree.

Dj mag is all bull shit, unless you have some big name or label you are placed low on their so called list.

The Guv is a good venue for size, but their sound system sucks ass, and their choice of events is even worse. Who ever is in charge of booking the talent there needs to clue in as to what a real TRANCE dj is like.

Stop recycling your crappy line up and start booking some new guys in, and some better events. If you have no clue as to what the new talent is here are some names you should look into. John O'Callaghan, John Askew (finally booked him a few months ago), Jon O'Bir, Tom Colontonio, Adam Sheridan, Kristina Sky, Thomas Bronzwaer, Stoneface and Terminal...the list goes on I am not here to do your job for you.

Re: The Guvernment Ranked #8 in DJ Mags Top 100 Clubs of 2008

Originally posted by ItalianPoiSon This years installement of DJ Mags Top 50 Clubs has expanded to the Top 100. Guvernment moved up from last year to #8. Stereo in Montreal is sitting at #18. Circa is at #38 but im not sure if thats Torontos Circa or sum other Circa. The top 10 look like this - 1.Fabric 2.Space 3.Amneisa 4.The End 5.Womb 6.Panorama Bar 7.Pacha 8.Guvernment 9.Warung 10.Watergate From DJ Mag Blurb - �If there�s one city that loves trance, it�s Toronto,� believes Armin van Buuren. �And if there�s one club that knows how to rock, it�s the Guvernment.� The laser illuminated synth sound might not be everyone�s bag but recommendations don�t come too much weightier than from the world�s No.1 DJ. Consuming a labyrinth of eight futuristic rooms, with an �ber-chic roof terrace offering panoramic vistas of downtown Toronto, Guvernment is an emporium of almost unparalleled girth, but it�s not just trance inhabiting its cavernous main arena � Carl Cox, Sasha and Derrick Carter have all appeared. �I don�t know any other club that pulls those amounts of people all year long,� concludes Armin. Check out the list here http://www.djmag.com/index.php?op=top100club

Quoting Armin. The guv is a lack of options in my opinion. I guarantee if they dropped an amnesia here or a space the guv would go under. I don't know if i would have had space (miami) in that spot either. Soundsystem and atmosphere is great but its very small

Originally posted by The Highroller I used to bitch about The Guv all the time, but now that I've had the opportunity this year to check out some of the other clubs around the world, I see how truly lucky Toronto is to have such a club. I agree with Armin about how it's amazing how much crowd the place pulls year-round too.

You don't know what you've got until you see what everyone else has. That's really good to hear Graham.

I've been to 3 of those bars so far and hope to hit a couple more this summer!

if you really feel that strongly about it then why dont YOU do something about it? scrape up your pennies and nickles and host your own event with the djs that you think need to play in this city. otherwise, stfu and accept what is brought here. if you really see the current bookings as a problem, you should attempt to do something about it rather than bitch and complain and expect other people to do something about it.

THANK YOU VRK!!!!!!!!!!!

starting my "clubbing career" in toronto, I loved the Guv. I thought moving to a huge city like New York was going to further my love for clubbing.

ha! The clubs here SUCK, and when people bitch about the Guv I have to laugh because you guys dont even realize how lucky you are. I wish I could go back!! (for the clubs....nyc is great otherwise!!)
