this was my first time back to sonic in awhile.. i was really turned off the place the last time i was there during the summer.. i guess i really disliked the crowd and vibe..
anyway, my gf had never been to sonic before and really wanted to check the place out, so i figured i'd give the club another shot.. i always had great times in that building while it was boa. so we went.. and to be honest the evening from start to finish was a fucking blast. i know there has been mixed reviews for this evening.. but honestly you only need 3 things for a good party..
1. good people
2. good vibe
3. good beats
sonic had all three of those last night.. i hardly saw any juice monkeys running around with their shirts off, which was a quite refreshing change.. thank god.. and please sonic take note, implement the shirt must stay on rule. it will clean up the vibe and atmosphere of your parties..
out.
ps. carey good fucking work on the bookings.. you've always have brought fresh raw talent to toronto, from the boa days and now sonic. keep up the good work!

Originally posted by The Highroller [color=ccff00]Before last night, I expected John Creamer to steal the show. I had seen Behrouz a number of times before, and even though I love his sets online, he's always been dissapointing any time I've seen him live. Quite the contrast to last night! I wasn't too upset after Creamer's performance, because really I came to see Behrouz. I was really hoping to hear a good set from Behrouz so that I could finally see why so many people hold this guy in high regard, and boy did he ever deliver. The best way to describe Behrouz is a cross between 2002-2003 Deep Dish and Danny Tenaglia. Quite a good cross if you ask me. His set was comprised of 2002-2003 Deep Dish style dark, groovey progressive with brooding baselines, and 8am bojangled Deep Dish bangers. Like Tenaglia, he played a few housey house tracks and a good dose of vocals over fierce basslines. And like Tenaglia, the programming of his set was very "compartmentalized", with several segments dedicated to distinct sounds. Except for a few lulls, Behrouz was pretty relentless the whole morning which was a stark contrast to the other times I've seen him and how boring he's been.

One thing to note about Behrouz is that if you catch him in a smaller venue like that Century party he played at he's going to play more housey and more deeper. If you like the driving basslines and tougher beats catch him in a bigger club. I dont think i've ever heard Behrouz play a boring set because I know what to expect given the crowd and club he's playing at. IMO that is what makes a good dj because he knows how toplay for the crowd. He is a cross between Tenaglia and Deep Dish and that's how to describe him. I'm still searching for that set. Sent Behrouz a message on his myspace page asking for it too: www.myspace.com/djbehrouz

If you're upset b/c maybe one or two hit on you...then big deal, just say you're not interested and continue on with your night. Now you know how it feels to be a girl in a club and get hit on by guys all night.

Sometimes you can fix it, sometimes the crowd would rather just move on. The latter doesn't mean you're not earning your paycheque unless you are doing it every single mix.

Okay, come on, please. I think we are mature enough not to equate a request for a "shirts on policy" as gay bashing, aren't we? Shirts serve a particular function when dancing: they absorb sweat and let it dry gradually in the atmosphere rather than when its smeared on my face when I'm on the dance floor. Gay or straight sweat...its all the same, slimey and smelly.

I think most people agree that we do not want a gay or staight Sonic...sexual orientation has nothing to do with appreciating great music and celebrating it dancing in groups. The desire and need to participate in music and dance music is hard wired in our individual brains and in our cultural collective concsience as demonstrated by almost all cultures throughout history.

House music is a unifying force...our objective should be to get as many people together as possible to share in the experience, enrich our lives, and let us connect with others. This means finding acceptable common rules that satisfy everyone's needs, not just one group.

Lets not let general society's prejudices and short-hand hackneyed cliches be divisive in our culture too. Please.
