agree

Its interesting. I remember looking back at the list of DJ's that Space would bring back in the days... the list of resident DJ's was inmense ( meaning they would come to Space in a regular annual basis ).

Who remembers TALL PAUL? SCOTT BOND? JOHN KELLY?? All this DJ's would come regularly and would lay out some mint sets ( according to friends who were there I missed out cause of age ).. but today its just the same old Sander, PvD, Sanchez, Morillo, Ferry and now Armin added to the circular list.. WTF... what happened to the varied sounds they would bring such as those?? Gatecrasher would host parties @ space, and what-not.

It definetly wouldnt hurt to bring any of those DJ's together with the local residents that Space already has.. they dont charge humongous pricing and with the right marketing it would really be something.

I agree with bunch of the names Flo said.. JunkieXL, Sasha, varied sounds.. try to have any of the trance DJ's open up the big name trance dj;s when they come ( but then we would have to pay the price to displace the local ones such as Edgar ).. It aint easy and for space to risk one night for someone who nobody knows its pointless. But if they try, then I'll b there, just good luck!

where was i bashing anyone? seriously, point it out for me. i am simply being realistic. if you are not a big name jock in the trance genre your not going to draw a crowd at space. that doesnt mean they suck, its just the reality. hell the time armin came in oct i didnt think it was that crowded, sparse at best. and just because people go to space doesnt mean they will stay. classic example G&D, cleared the dance floor faster than a bomb threat at LAX. if space was a smaller venue than they probably could turn a profit, but its a pretty big club. and not just any dj can work that mainroom.

the reason why they dont bring in those trance djs mentioned above by liquidx and misterben is because, a few years back trance was the hot thing, ie trendy, in miami. its not the hot, trendy thing anymore, ergo, no more of those djs. miami is all about trends, and trance aint it no more. not to mention it can be argued the quality of sound back then was much better also. and the predominant form of edm in america, is and always has been house. this isnt northern europe.

lastly space is not going to just "take a chance and find out" on any of these djs. they run a business first and foremost and are in this to make $$$$$. thats it. and they bring in sander, DD, PVD, Morillo, etc, because those guys draw big crowds. its not a complex formula. i agree with you guys, the lack of variety sucks. but at the same time we are much luckier than most major cities in the US, really think about that.

liquid's idea about pairing some of these trance djs with the local residents, might not be a bad compromise, and wouldnt defer as much of a risk if they were promoted alone. thats definetly a viable option. seriously i would love to see some of those names come to space, but im a realist. hopefully something can be worked out and everyone is happy.

I wasn't saying you were bashing & I agree with you they do have to think about money but he has a lot of it & trying stuff out for one nite isn't going to put any of his earnings in a deficit.

What Felipe said was a good idea & that is an approach that can easily work out & if the people are digging the new talent then I'm sure club owners will realize that.

But you have to admit it gets tiring to have the same DJs come over & over. Space used to have more of a variety & now it's down to the same shit.

We ARE super lucky here in Miami but damn it doesn't hurt to try something new out.

This is very, very true. I'll never forget this one incident on 5/30/03, @ Space 34. Tiësto was playing, and I was in the crowd with Faith, when this dude next to me yells, "Paul van Dyk!!!" And I was sure the song playing wasn't a PVD tune. Was just another clueless slag. I looked at him and literally gave him a look.

Thats true, but trying new things cost money.. Lets face it the trance scene in miami isnt what it is in Europe. People in miami demand more house .....But regardless many of the great dj's people mentioned if space were to book 2,3,or 4 in the same night it still will not sell-out. So these new thing can be costly and they might not meet there margins in bringing them. Thats true PVD And Tiesto can sell out space..But what other Solo dj can do that or what 2/3 combination can?

why not look @ the WMC list that Space layed out and spread that out throughout the year?!?! I know most of the crowd that goes to any of those given nights are outsiders, but pairing them up with the residents sounds duable.. no?
