i'd hardly say that. i was merely pointing out how breakdowns can work in favour of a dancefloor.. since the general concensus seems to believe otherwise. if a set is kept interesting & varied enough i'm sure you could get away without including any, with most trance dancefloors at least. but as kr00t0n said.. the djs in question more than likely enjoy the tunes with breakdowns as much as the crowd do, since they've probably been brought up on the same kind of music.

personally i like to keep the first half of my sets relatively breakdown-free before progressing into more epic stuff towards the end. keeps a nice balance

Originally posted by paulandrews Well, it sure is a matter of personal preference, but I don't need any fat basslines and huge kicks to make me dance. What discourages me from dancing much more is when I have to stand on the dancefloor for like 2 minutes and listen to a song about the 'girl that got away'. Anyway, to each his own.

LOL I was thinking of the song since I started reading the thread, AHHHRRRGG my ears hurt already! But yeh, today's pop trance that you listen on asot is deffinately not more dance florr oriented or preffered at least than say good tribal house or techno.

I use to go quite a bit.. Mainly to listen to what my favourite Djs are playing, I was intrigued and wanted to keep up. Godskitchen is bout 15 miles away, so its pretty handy having that on my doorstep.

Although.... I go much less recently, partly due to money, partly due to none of my close mates are into clubbing, but mainly because I download a lot of sets and whack them on my Ipod thus keeping up with what everyone is playing.

i try to go often (when it's a dj i want to see). it depends how often i go though because some djs i don't care about seeing and they seem to recycle the same djs around here anyhow, so it depends. for example, i skipped the armin show and the danny howells show they had here recently and i wasn't able to attend the markus show that i wanted to go to that was last week or so because of graduation. i'm actually going to a pvd show with my friend because he wanted me to go with him on the 15th...i hope it's good

now that i'm out of college i will be a little easier for me to go as much as i want to (getting a new car). i moved away from the city so that's why the car was necessary...

Originally posted by sleepydragon haha thats pretty much what happened with me, i dont give a shit what any non drug user says its never the same going out and not having anything the night is 10 times better on a good pill.

i kind of disagree with this. although it is fun to go out and get plastered on pills and just have a great time, i kind of like drinking a little better because i remember more of the night and the set the dj played which is initially what i am going for. getting fucked up off drugs is usually for staying up late or special occasion for me

i go bout once or twice a month. havent seen a big dj in a while though, mostly just the local guys

At least once a month. Used to be more but as time passes and crews of friends evolve, things turn more towards house parties and the like in favor of hitting the clubs.

Originally posted by Sykonee I go to see plenty of big name DJs around here. None of them have been trance.

I just have to say awesome avatar! My 2nd favorite game series of all time.

And back to the topic at hand: I try to hit up shows once every 2 months or so... NYC is pretty weird, there will either be a 4 month drought of big names, or guys I'd like to see are playing a week apart (this summer, Armin in Brooklyn one weekend and Tiesto at Hammerstein the weekend after).

I've been going out at least twice a weekend for the past 6 weeks, and at least two weekends a month before that. No trance involved.

the last two clubs i went to played hip-hop and top 40s. the only reason why i went was because i met up with an old friend and some other girls and we were in v.i.p... other than that i can't stand going to top 40/hip hop clubs because i don't have as much fun as i do in an edm club. i never drink or do drugs at at avalon (where i usually go) but i will definitely have a drink(s) if it's music i don't really like...
