Fair enough, but that's in consideration of the fact that you really only ventured into this scene within the last couple of years. It's like the ebb and flow of the tides, so to speak. Sometimes we're awash with talented DJ's, and other times - we're dry as the Sahara.
Anyway, both Armin and Ferry were resident's at Glow back in 2001, as was D:Fuse, DJ Bossi (of Cosmic Gate), Talla 2xlc, Edgar V, George Acosta, etc. But that was just at Glow.
A DJ being at a certain venue doesn't always mean that it's an exclusive arrangement, it often just means that it fit into their touring schedule. I saw Eddie Halliwell at Nation last weekend, but that doesn't mean that he skipped New York because he doesn't like New York or that NY is lame or anything like that - it probably just means that there weren't enough openings to fit a NY date into his schedule (he was spinning at Nocturnal in Miami the very next night.)
That being said, it does seem as though the NY clubs are always opening and closing due to local NY politics. Buzz @ Nation just celebrated their 12 year anniversary this past October - and thankfully, they don't appear to be going out of business anytime soon! I do wish they still closed at 6 or 8, though - like the good old days.
