Too loud? I didn't think so. I think it was OK. Music was pretty good, sure had me dancing quite a bit. Decent crowd, good vibe and I had fun.

I had a lot of fun. The crowd response was great. It wasn't too loud. There were a lot of attractive females in attendance.

Thank you

you guys didn't find it too loud huh?. i thought it was the loudest i've ever heard, my ears actually hurt which was scary. i went outside for a drink to see if it was just that song but it wasn't. waited for a few songs but it didn't get any better so i left, shitty cuz i didn't even get to check out d:fuse. last time i stayed in a club when it was too loud it fucked up my left ear so i thought i'd take the safe route this time. anyway looks like it was a good time

Have you seen an ear specialist about this? Do you frequently wear headphones or Ipod ear buds? Do you work in environments that are loud? This may be something you want to get checked out. I thought Sabocor was rocking it a little loud when I first got there around 10:15, but I made some adjustments on the mixer while he was playing and it sounded great after that. I actually got a few requests to turn up the volume during my set.

I wasn't there this time, but Circus has been way too loud for me in the past (not recently, though). I actually have been to an audiologist before, and my hearing tested perfect). Keep in mind that many people who ask the volume to be turned up usually have hearing that's shot to hell.

If someone complains, I would take it seriously and have the room measured with a professional SPL meter rather than putting everyone at risk for irreversable hearing damage...

I wasn't really complaining, i was just saying. i find that it's pretty loud at most clubs. I have to wear ear plugs or even keep to a part of the room that doesn't have so much high frequencies. bass i can handle, it's just the highs can be way too much sometimes.

Jim, no i haven't been to an ear specialist yet. like everyone though i'm sure i was pretty hard on my ears while growing up, but now i try and be carefull not to over do it

I gotta say, I found it very loud also. Certainly when I first got there around 10:00 o'clock anyway. My friend also complained to me that it was too loud. This was early in the night. I didn't mind the volume later in the night but that could just be that I got buzzed and didn't notice.

None of these concerns were brought to my attention at the club. In the future, just LET ME KNOW and I will make sure management, the sound engineer, and the DJs make the appropriate adjustments. Thanks!

P.S. I'll add that I always wear earplugs at the club and didn't experience any issues myself.

... and if Malia can't be found, those who do know me can always come and tell me too so I can let management know. Even if it's not a sound issue and there is some sort of other problem, just let us know.

From the comments on my Facebook page, most people really enjoyed the sound. It was Steve Sabocor's first time playing there and he may have cranked it a little loud before I made the adjustments at 10:15pm. He was really excited to play. You can't blame him. He's new on the scene and rocks some really good electro house. It sounded GREAT!!! I really liked the sound on the mainstage; it was a great experience.

Many thanks to Malia, Trinity, Loc, and everyone at Circus for supporting the night and making all my friends have such a good time and experience.
