Originally posted by Jeff Button I dunno, maybe he was having an off night - but last time he played at Sonic I thought he was fucking awful. He was also hyped up being belief from a few friends of mine, so that might have had something to do with it as well.

Well, he is an amazing producer and an amazing DJ. I don't think he played that well either, I do agree with you there. My friends and I thought he was really flat that night, and I think the next day he was playing a big party in New York, so he was saving his energy for that event.

He's really monotone in the booth tho. And you really, really, really have to be able to deal with all the gay men. But if you can overlook those two issues, you can enjoy him as much as I do...he ripped it up at the Gay Pride closing party...

I might be spinning there For one night though, and it's a maybe right now trainwrecking ftw

What does probation have to do with the talent?

If they cannot throw a big party now, what will change in the future?

Are you guys saying that brining in big talent, will bring in different people, bigger party animals, who are more likely to cause trouble?

I think that's bullshit. Supposing that it is more draining on you to play well versus playing mediocre, which is arguable in the first place. It's not like he's moving bricks around - to professional DJs, putting on a set should be pretty much second nature; and should not be excused anyway - there are other professions that require you to put in 100% every time. Mainly though, I think it's reflects badly on his character if he willfully didn't try to put on a good set because he was saving himself for New York. If he wanted to save his energy for New York, he shouldn't have booked the Toronto gig in the first place. There's no reason the people in Toronto should get less for their money than the people in New York when they paid to go see him. Leaves a bad impression on him if he's willing to disappoint his fans in order to get more moolah. Finally, it looks bad on you if you're making up "valid" excuses on his behalf - he's not a god, why do you feel you need to make up excuses for his poor performance?

/general rant, not directly aimed at you, as this is not the first time I've come across people excusing the DJs they paid good money for, for one reason or another.

Seriously, who cares if they don't bring in the headliners!

Why can't some of you people just go out for a good time and experience something new for once?
Why does it have to be a big time DJ that pulls you off your judgemental armchair?

What if your idea of a good time doesn't include listening to House music while being surrounded by "fashionable" try-hards? Not that bringing in a headliner will necessarily get rid of the scenesters, but at least then I'd have the music to focus on so I could ignore them.

I agree 100%...that being said...all I've heard about Circa is that its just another house music club that caters to a crowd I don't like.....I admit I haven't been to the club but I could care less if the club is built out of gold or built out of soggy sponges....its the music that will bring me back and not what the club looks like. Hopefully I will get a chance to go sometime...but probably not until summer when work is a little less crazy.

I admit I haven't been but the fact I haven't been there means nothing on the fact that it will get closed down......the city doesn't want it there and the city will find a way to get rid of it....the better it does and the more people it brings into the area just creates a better chance the city will find a reason to close the doors.
