Thats a Great idea but in this humidity, it'll be kinda hard to pull off, unless they work out some sort of solution.

bar rio & warehouse hold 1000 & 1500, respectively. those are more than big enough.

There's a place for everything, and I'm not naive enough to just say "screw ['anachronistic dinosaur']. book [my preferred artist] instead," 'cuz I know it's not as simple as that, but, at the same time, there's a reason I haven't gone to anything all summer, and it has nothing to do with temperature or comfort. I'd pay to go see Damian Lazarus or Superpitcher play an over-capacity steam room.

Yeah promoters don't like to take chances on anything cutting edge therefore they bring the same DJs over and over again.

I can't really blame them, because they need to make money, and that's the easiest way to do it. Then again, it's not like there isn't money to be made in the time between atb visits. Yeah, it might take some initial investment to get it going, but once it's established, whoever took it on would have a monopoly on that type of event, and would be able to take all the risks they wanted (not to mention the other benefits of being responsible for something like that).

HAHAHAHAHA no. I don't "got to support" a self-absorbed, arrogant, pop star wanker OR the soul-less scene that surrounds him by paying way too much money for a show I won't even enjoy. Your line of thinking is beyond flawed.

Originally posted by Zeonfiend That's a loaded statement in the EDM community; there are scads of cats from the late '80s and early '90s still going today that should have taken the graceful way off the map a long time ago. Just because they struck gold in 1992 doesn't automatically mean they can hang with the scene in 2006, and it's slavish adherence to the "support the scene no matter how shitty the DJ" manifesto that's enabled these anachronistic dinosaurs to continue to plague big-name clubs and huge events and drop absolute batshit on a crowd that a) not only paid to get in, but b) deserved better. EDM has a nasty habit of turning up its nose at the "Evolve or Die" method of dynamism and forting up around the toothless and infirm Cro-Magnons as if to preserve them from musical entropy.

that should come in handy...

also how did this thread get resurrected?


I think it's funny, reading back through some people's reviews, that they can spend 4 straight paragraphs doing nothing but complaining, maybe 1 or 2 semi-positive comments the whole review, but then close with "but I still had a blast and am glad I went." Good to see that blind Tiesto worship and the "trancecracker" mentality is still going strong in people who claim to care about the "scene."
