I still have the highest respect for Destiny, Lifeforce and all of those big companies.. theres no reason to lose respect for them. I highly doubt they'd ever want to put together a party knowing it would suck, just bad luck.. they're the ones who had it going BIG and STRONG in the City, and now they're also unfortunately the ones who've lost big.

i gotta agree with some of the above comments ..

it does seem to be that a lotta the big promoters in Europe & overseas are all tied to corporate sponsorship. I think skeptics have to give up the belief of 'selling out' and fall in league with the corporations. It might be the only way to save the scene at this point.

Better a corporate scene than no scene at all !

^^good call desidel

the scene has been mainstream for longer than a lot of people are willing to admit.

having the name 'smirnoff' on flyers, and maybe a couple of projections in a club, is a VERY small downside to actually be able to see our favourite big name dj's again, in parties that aren't being shut down by cops.....

look at europe - they've been corporate for ages, and yet we all cry about "why can't we have parties like that"
well we can, if people would attend them, and stop living in the past!!


as for viceroy's comment, that some of the superpromoters should start working for the companies doing these corporate bashes, well they already are...

What a shame... I think I'll blame it on the drug users which forced the city to make promotors hire loads of cops to protect the parties (like dont try to argue that its a fact)

Who are you to say such a thing? drug users have existed with raves since the raves started....people use drugs in raves all over the world...why are we the only ones that have to be this way!?

comments like this really really really piss me off!!!!

I'm not gonna argue either way about that...

I personally hate drugs, and don't see the point of taking them... But I feel much safer at a party with 10,000 drugged up ravers than I do at a club with 2000 drunk hooligans....

That's all I have to say about that.

I don't wanna argyue about drugs...since this isnt the topic, and im sick of making such an argument....

but all im saying....dont just throw blame at people for what they do....and what i said is true, and you cant argue that part....and drugged up ravers in my opinion are much much safer than drunk hooligans from my experiences

Does anyone know who this special guest will be at the destiny new years party

my money's on "dave the drummer", since he's playing at ascension 3 nights before....

possibly gon be Spock Jenkins. He threw an amazing set a couple ascensions back... and they mentioned that the headliner was from Amsterdam Holland. and if they're pickin from their roster... that's the man to turn to.

good luck to them that night. it's a good line up, but the negative responses from board to board isn't making it out to be.

the new year will answer this thread's question... is Destiny dead. Word is that they will be goin 19 over and turning to the corporate sponsors too... but will it help the fact that they have lost a lot of their following? will they have a new following if they do turn 19 and over? can they compete with the ranks of sonic state, guverment and kool haus and the club scene that already has a strong following? ... the new year will tell all

as for new years...all the partiers, have fun and be safe. all the companies and promoters.. good luck. cheers

peace
