Trinity and Malia, Rich isn't completely off topic. A lot of the names mentioned may not want to spin at Circus because of the stigma that hangs over it these days. I know you're loyal to the venue, and I agree that there is a ton of potential, but you have to realize that a club will not survive in LA without a serious makeover. LA is too fickle an audience to come out to a venue purely for what it used to be, not what it is now. A minority of the 21+ clubbing crowd are hardcore trance heads.
I have been to Circus in the last few months and I haven't been all that impressed. Perhaps it's the music, perhaps it's the sub-par sound, perhaps it's the new DJ booth with the blinding light rig. It is probably a combination of those along with my vivid memories of the club's heyday (2001-2006). These days, it's more like a hastily thrown-together rave in the middle of Hollywood. Many of us are just not into that scene anymore, nor are many of the marquis DJs.
I'd love to see a Circus revival as much as anybody. My first DJ gig ever was in the loft there. Some of the most influencial artists and DJs performed in the main room, those who formed my opinion of EDM and helped me forge my budding DJ career. I had a lot of emotional investment in the venue and I'd like to return to that state sooner rather than later. I just don't see it happening with the current format.
Squashing the stigma with a remodel --> newfound interest from the LA faithful --> foundation to draw A-list performers
