Headphone raves
These have had fad-like popularity in other cities of the world such as London, England.
With constant condo development in the downtown core, and the long-term flight from the suburbs into the city due to rising oil prices, do you think clubs without speakers will eventually catch on?
Has anyone been to one of these? Would you go to one?
Discuss.
wearing a headphone constantly for few hours hurts
would be cool to try out as a novelty but sad if it became the norm
lol
Would be so weird to walk through one without wearing any.
I'd support. I already hang out with my friends with headphones on anyways...it would be an easy transition!

Wasnt there an event like that sometime last year? I never caught it but would like to.
Definitely wouldnt settle for a club with no speakers though, thats just ridiculous.
improv everywhere
there have been 2 that i can think of in montreal, and yeah the idea is good but it is not fun. You have to stop listening to music to talk to people.

Indeed I did.
It was more just an impromtu collection of people dancing than anything as there was no collaboration on who was listsening to what. Which made it more interesting in the end as on every car (well, the 1 I was in & the 2 others I could see into) everyone was clearly enjoying and dancing to different styles of music.
But it got shut down on the Southbound return at Dundas b/c as usual the TTC workers are cunts. Clearly there was no security issue as you could hear the the other passengers on the cars applaud as we exited, both when we returned Southbound & when we left at Dundas.
There was a techno one last summer in Toronto actually, I forget where it was exactly though.

I did experience one as part of Global Gathering in 2006.
It was very interesting and a nice alternative which let the party go later than it normally would have.
Everyone was listening to the same music and I do believe Max Graham was the DJ (someone can correct me if I am wrong... lol).
The volume on the headphones had a maximum volume. You had to remove them to have conversations..
It was a neat experience...

| Filmed in Toronto, this clip takes a look at the life and work of DJ/producers and label owners � Mike Shannon (Cynosure Recordings) and Noah Pred (Thoughtless Music). Two top Canadian exports and cutting-edge exponents of techno. First up, Canadian-born, Berlin-based Mike Shannon talks about his label, Cynosure, partnering with his friend Jeff Milligan on the Revolver imprint, his recent album, Memory Tree, released on Plus 8 Records, the Canadian scene, and relocating to Europe. Mike is also filmed performing at a techno party hosted by Tempo in Toronto. Next, we catch up with the deep and meaningful Noah Pred, head honcho of Thoughtless Music, and record him in the mix at a local Head Sync underground gathering � where clubbers brought their own headphones to plug into receivers/Pred�s sounds. In this footage Noah discusses his label, digital DJing, and the evolving future of the international music industry in a more democratic digital age. |
where does everyone plug in?
and if you plug in somewhere, you're bound by a cord, which to me, is rediculous.
And if you're on wireless, doesn't the sound quality suffer?
And those headphone speakers, the sound quality already suffers, unless they're handing out Studio-quality headphones at the door.
Methinks this is garbage
theres probably an FM reciever you get at the door to clip on your belt or whatever..dunno
