[Review] Marco V - 2.5.10 - Pacha

I guess I'll start?

First, I want to say awesome job to Massive for once again being able to pack out Pacha and for bringing someone like Marco V who hasn't been here since Avalon (I think 2005 or 06??).

Really great to see Harji & Watson tear it down as the first DJs to go on. Eco was doing a sick job as well with a wicked mashup to start things off.

For those who didn't know, I never got to see Marco V because I got kicked out of the club for attempting to get on the Mezzanine. It's fucking amazing how Pacha decided to make a rule about not letting anyone upstairs with sneakers and/or without button down shirts.

My friends and I came in before 11PM ready to enjoy a night upstairs with bottle service; celebrating an upcoming release for a label and this bitch outside tells me since I'm wearing sneakers, I have to be placed downstairs on the first floor to have my service. Not only that, but my friends and I had to leave that designated area by 1:30. We bought two bottles which was over $400.

It's quite outrageous and I know it's not Massive's fault in any way, shape, or form. But that was some bullshit. I know some people spending over $1000 that night only to be placed downstairs because they aren't wearing the proper attire to be upstairs. Who fucking knew they care more about a dresscode than money??

I'm apparently not allowed to come back to Pacha. And for someone like me, it's very hard to forget how I look. So if I come back, I think I'll be recognized. Maybe it's time to lose some weight so they don't remember me

Someone tell me how Marco V was. I can only assume it was nasty

Dude ^^^ that's ridiculous... I heard you got kicked out, but didn't know all of that... Wow... In this economy, I don't know how any clubs are still pulling that kinda shit... Sorry to hear, man

Harji/Watson ripped it up! Marco V ripped it up! I've been battling a terrible cold all week, and last night was no exception, so I ended up leaving early around 230, unfortunately...

Here's my tracklist from as much as I can remember!



1. Lo-Step - Burma (Martin Roth NuStyle Bootleg - Eco Edit)
2. Atlantis Ocean - Life Frequency
3. Matt Darey pres. Urban Astronauts feat. Kate Louise Smith - See The Sun (Moonbeam Remix)
4. Pulser - Sunseeker (Vocal Mix)
5. L.A.V.I. - Mui Mal, Animal (Planisphere Remix)
6. Rone - Flesh (Sasha Invol2ver Remix - Eco Edit)
7. Marco Bailey vs. Tom Hades - Inner Soul
8. Glenn Morrison - Orange Glow (Robert Babicz Spaceship Remix)
9. Breakfast & Marcus Schossow - They Came For Us
10. Marcus Schossow - A New Beginning
11. Andy Duguid feat. Julie Thompson - Falling
12. Late Night Alumni - Finally Found (Eco Remix)
13. DJ Eco - Song Of Innocence (Martin Roth & Paris Nova Remix)
14. Makotrax - Homeward (Breakfast's Campfire Remix)
15. Gui Boratto - No Turning Back

SIMULATED was sick


Posted by Lira Yin on Feb-06-2010 19:45:

Mike... aaaaargh. *HUGS* that shit will never make the vaguest semblance of sense. I'm so sorry that happened.

Harji & Watson were good on first opening duties; from Marcello, See the Sun, Song of Innocence, and Finally Found were standouts to me.

I have to say, I liked Marco's set but it didn't keep my attention all the time. Go fig. Unprepared was good to hear live-- and hearing Music Matters was NASTY.

Tom dropping Cosmic Gate - Melt to the Ocean at the very, very very end was the OH SHIT song of the night for me. Maybe it was the exhaustion starting to talk. I'm pretty sure I ran around screaming something like OLD-SCHOOL COSMIC GATE WHOOOOO

long story short: overall, danced so hard that I have a couple of blisters from comfortable dance sneakers. I'd call that a success.

I had a blast... was a little bit too preoccupied to go meet up in front of the dj booth at 1 am, dont even know if anyone ended up doing it or not. Hajri and Watson opened it up pretty well, they dropped one of my favorite songs of all time, Grindhouse. Eco came on, and had the place going nuts. I thought it would be a good idea to climb up the front of the dj booth when Eco was on, haha. Marco V did a sick job too. I do not know many of his tracks, but enjoyed the set as a whole. Had to leave a little bit before Marco V got off, so I missed the ending. I always seem to have a good time at Pacha, cant really complain.

it was a great night! did he play his new track lovestruck? i couldnt remember lolz

just read your story, makes me sick, that the "#1" club can still act like that.. pretty sad i guess its only "usa" clubs that offer service like this.. i have friends in .au and abroad and from what they tell me they never see this kind of service


Posted by thenadz on Feb-06-2010 20:25:

been going to pacha for 2 years, this was my first time doing VIP. we were in the mezz, then asked to leave the mezz... then my boyfriend got attacked by two idiots, lost his wallet in the scuffle, and the bouncers kicked HIM out at 1:45. after an hour of talking/yelling at the bouncers outside, a manager walked me down to coat check to get our stuff and asked me to leave and "take my drama outside".

eff pacha. i always wondered why people hated it so much, now i know.


Posted by drEamer on Feb-06-2010 20:31:

Posted by Uncle ED on Feb-06-2010 20:44:

Bottle prices vary by event, event producers, and what you negotiate. A friend coordinated very well yesterday and we had a good deal. Later when another bottle was added, I named the price.

youre right, however ive never EVER heard of charging that much for birthday bottle...ive done everyone from markus to benny for my birthday and always get a birthday special....and i dont think they think im someone special- aka im not getting any deal everyone else wouldnt get...

i supposed it also matters who you work with and if you do it in advance, ect ect....but a real vip should be formal and consistent....

mike of all the people who get kicked out i feel bad cause your one of the very few people in this industry and in general who dont deserve to get treated like that i wassent even there and i still feel terrible reading about how you got treated. you go there for the music and to spend a few bucks and have a good time with your friends and they treat you like your money isent green

pacha is such a fukin scandal these days
they pulled the bullshit with different drink prices on new years day, like each floor had a different price for the same drink...go figure

as for dresscode when i went there back in aug i walked up wearing sneakers jeans and a white t-shirt, the bouncer was denying me at first i was like why hes like "your not dressed correctly no plain white t-shirts" meanwhile a group of chelsea boys behind me were weraring fishnet tanktops and bootyshorts, and yet iam not dressed correctly? they gave me a warning and let me in, but still its just the fact they had the nerve to bust balls and try to enforce these dumb rules

i know pacha promoters and staff read this message board, but at this point everyone has had something negative to say about this place for the past few years and the bullshit just goes on

after april 15th, when the city realizes its missing a lot of tax money from the financial industry (and others), you can bet your ass they're going to do more things against clubs. i'm positive that pacha is at the top of their list, especially with all of those underage kids smoking inside with no one stopping them.

glad to hear marco v was sick. hoping nokia theatre on fri is going to be a good venue for ferry!

people are smokeing far worse things at pacha then cigg's

cracking down on underage people smokeing will only result in fine's probly, but if the patrons still get treated like shit what good is it?

yea, i know what goes on there outside of cigs. i just hope pacha gets their shit together, until then (or forever?) im just going to avoid paying for any events there.

try being on john digweed's list and getting denied at crobar because of my white sneakers. problem was i felt like i was looking damn good that night which is rare for me, i usually try to go as comfortable as possible. Eh, either way we all learn of the negatives of the nightlife, just that we all experience it at different times. as much as our money and our right as fans that we feel we should get equal treatment, fact of the matter is that doesn't exist. these are just some of the things why I choose not to go out in NYC.

damn, sucks to hear alot of people having shitty nights.

Even though we got asked to the downstairs table, personally i didnt mind cuz we still had access to the mezzanine, and a couple of my friends had tables up there.

great opening set from harji & watson, only caught the end of it though. Only saw a lil of eco and marco v, from what i heard they were pretty dam good, but i was mostly in the basement for jims set (awesome!!). But imo Colontonio fuckin rippppped it

i was really fuckin drunk. i hope i didnt make a fool of myself.
