Hey guys, hope you all had fun at the party and if not, you don't have to not post negative stuff about it (bc of so much TA involvement), go ahead! Just to clarify a bunch of things regarding the party, here are some points...

As far as the sound, we're very annoyed by the shit job the sound guy did for us early on, totally didnt go over the levels or anything but kept the levels at the usual levels for their regular deep house sound, which obviously, with trance, isnt gunna fly... looking back on it now, i realize that, but at the party, it didnt really occur to me that was the case... so next time well have the venue ourselves (not sharing it with the saturday night afterhours) and the sound will be ALL OURS ;-)

As far as martin roth getting off early... yeah we were really annoyed by this... it had nothing to do with Roth, he woulda been on til 4, it was the Shelter guys and their weekly deep house afterhours... once again, we are never doing our parties here on saturday ever again, for this reason and a few others, it was extreme confusion and we had the idea we would go on until at least 330 and probably 4, but they changed everything up on us the night of, which didnt make us too happy... another clarification, the dj afterward was not our party, its a separate party from ours, so is the crowd, its part of the weekly saturday night deep house afterhours... anyway, hope all this sheds some light on some of the stuff that probably anoyed you bout the night, hope you give us a nother chance next time, i guarantee itll be 10 steps up and it will not be a night shared wit the saturday night deep house parties, but [/b]OUR OWN[/b] from start to finish! we have some big things planned in the near future, stay tuned!




PS - an hour of Eco's set was recorded as well as an hour of Martin's set, in high quality 192, spliced with the sound from a wall microphone on the crowd, so we shall have that up ASAP for your pleasure! also pics and vids soon

As far as the Shelter crowd, I have a lot of respect for the staff and the patrons. Sure it's easy to call them crackheads for staying out until noon, but I think the vibe at Shelter parties is something to be admired. They've been going strong since the mid 1980s, and the staff are all great people (although I'm very surprised a drink was 12$, that's insane). Back to the crowd though, I think it's more of a spritual thing than a crackhead thing. Victor Calderone crowd at Crobar at 1PM is a crackhead thing, these people are simply there to enjoy a vibe that you can't find in any other club in the city (too often), like their own little "Shelter". And when you really look past things like physical stuff or clothing or dancing styles, at the end of the day, they're having fun and are with their friends. The crowd at Shelter all knows each other for years, and it's like nothing we have in this city anymore. Of course it's not everyone's thing, but different strokes for different folks... My only complaint is their accomodation of the earlier parties (10PM until the beginning of their party)... It's a lot of confusion, money-wise and music-wise, and we have decided not to go back on Saturdays for this very reason. Much respect to the staff though, and once again, thank you everyone for coming!

As far as the drinks go.....some bartenders were charging more than others for the same damn drinks. The one guy downstairs with the gay ass pony tail charged my friend $16 for a tangere and tonic. We asked another bartender how much that drink costs and she told us $9. I wanted to bash his head off the bar....fucking clown.

haha I was gonna say the same thing!! No offense dood but thats retarded.

StrobeLife: No one is hatin on sketchiness....We have all been there, some of us many many times. lol Just means they are having fun....but I realize that its very different to look at when you are the sketchy one as compared to being the sober one looking at the sketchy one's

...Plus the sketchy "regulars" are the one's that keep the afterhours open on a weekly basis for those random weekends when you and your friends decide to keep the party going till well after dark

and i started goin to clubs when i was in my mothers womb!!! omgom omg im not a n00b omg omg i die!

for fucks sake.

Got in just before 4, basement was crowded and had a very nice vibe. Music by Luzz/Tyas/Deepspell was on point as always.

I walked upstairs expecting to hear some 140 bpm trance but was taken back when it was some dark minimal. I look up to booth thinking "Wow! Martin Roth is playing this stuff?" saw the DJ and then said to myself, "Wow, Martin Roth is black?" then someone told me about what happened which is not cool.

Props to the guys who put this party together. It was a very solid turnout and it takes a lot of balls to go to a place that established to strike a deal to bring in a new sound and crowd. Respect.

It takes a lot of tweaking when a place is used to one crowd and have to deal with another - especially for security staff. Mike's party downstairs was great too, and it was fun to see a lot of friends there.

I'm sure I was walking through many peeps the TA board, and we need name tags I think LOL because it would be nice to meet you guys in person.
