It's great to see some interest in the Vancouver scene.
I braught Menno to Vancouver 3 or 4 years ago. With the help of some friends, we were also the first promoters to bring Above & Beyond, GTR, Signum, John Askew, Greg Downey, Ronski Speed, Niklas Harding to Canada.
I've been away from Vancouver for over a year now, so not sure how the club scene is doing these days. I'm sure that we can all agree that raves are really hurting, and none of us have any business attenting those type of events anymore. Although I'm sure the main issue remains the same... finding a decent venue that will be able to hold a successful night, to at least cover the cost of the event.
Seems that if the DJ isn't someone like Harmin vanBuuen, or if the event isn't being thrown by a trendy overhyped production name, people just don't come out to support these types of nights. Granted all of the names I mentioned have gotten bigger in recent years, at least before the support was nowhere near what it needed to be. Maybe I'll give it another shot when I get back.
Cheers
Danny
