Was the patio/2nd floor only open? Are they doing work on the main room?

Mainroom was open at first but due to low/scattered turnout they decided to close it and move the party upstairs where the vibe was happening. Gonna be challenge to fill that space with the usual compression King King crowd imo, but this was only the first try.

Sound issues in the main room as well. Zero bass and the mids were way too high.

Heh probably I know the sound system is brand new in the main room, they're probably just not used to it yet. Hopefully it works out at Ivar, it's a pretty sweet venue.

ps
Ain't nothing wrong with Serato

It actually wasnt bad, but only in a small box sized area in front of the DJ booth.

i wasn't hating on serato but the "hollywood" hiphop/mash-up djs

I am very interested in gathering more opinions on the night and the venue. Please share more if you could. Give it to me straight. I'd like to know what you thought was good, bad, and ugly.

Thanks!

Rob

Personally think King King is better fit for the talent you pull. Ivar has that trendy Hollywood vibe were KK is more underground feel. In my opinion the Minimal-Techno scene has a dirtier feel too it. Ivar is a nice place for someone like a Bob Sinclair or David Guetta.

can't get my techno fix on 1st & 3rd Fridays anymore

Posted by |Thrax| on Apr-22-2008 05:00:

the truth is, the scene likes the same thing, constantly.. pretty boring if you ask me.
only thing that changes is the vibe and the music.. techno progression. that at least is what I believe in.

I don't do this much for the hollywood effect of it, I dont care much.. but the king king pictures speak for themselves. red wherehouse, small..

but after years, and weeks spent there, wouldnt you like to take the crowd and the audience up a bit? bigger talent cannot effectively support some venues. a clean plate of raising the bar, underground sounds, above ground venues.

plus, a venue with more than one room, especially the mainroom with expanded lights, and wide dancefloor. although not as intimate, make for nice pictures,

colors

nvm then as i would of only been able to catch the last 30mins after finding the place.

For me:
- Parking Lot.
- Underground factor.
- Ivar reeks of Hollywood douche-baginess (that's right, new word bitches). Minus the loft.
- King King has great energy to it-- the people, the staff, the intimacy factor.
- It gets cold.
- It will be challenge to fill the cap. on that place.
- Chris takes better pictures at King King.

That's just my opinion. Compression just feels at home at King King, I don't know how to explain it. I was really amped up about the new venue, but it just didn't feel the same to me. Maybe Compression can do like Deeper Moods and go warehouse business. Ultimately, wherever you guys end up, I'll always support Compression because the talent is always top-notch and the parties thrown to perfection - whether it's in forest, train, on the roof, Compression is good everywhere Sam I Am.

was this a one off thing, or has compression moved out of king king for a while?

im with the intimacy/dirty over upscale people.
