dumb down the trance synths, and add a couple of words like bitch, booze, ******, fuck, hot, thong

there you have it an RnB song

I'd be guessing Joshva and Scotty are working on the Sydney leg based on what they've hinted.

muli: There was a party in '03 (Slinky I think) that was on @ Marquarie Uni.....It had the banner and did SFA in terms of punters, but that's the only time that I can think of where a banner hasn't packed out......The advertising budget behind a banner party is in the $10,000 as well, so they will also hit a wider audience then those who go out week in week out, or don't get 3d world, or don't read forums.

Joshva:-"Anyway I personally am doing my best", good stuff, welcome to the world of fliering every Friday and Saturday night at every venue (and that's just the start...then there's trying to attract people who aren't into trance to the event, to convert them, ala grow the scene)

Jules:- Up here at the moment I don't think a name/reputation matters. It's about the banner. As muli said look @ what does well...

Over all, I've spent many days and nights(I assume like many of you), thinking about how to get people back into clubs. I'm happy to talk to anyone about this in person, but I've got to much to say on a forum.

A little answer tho, for those who aren't in Syd, I don't think promoters are taking the right approach; too many small nights fighting for market share when none are majorly established.

Wade, there may be too many little nights competing for market share, but at least there are people that want to do something more than stay at home.. which i think is a good thing & eventually someone will get it right.... i hope.

I hope so too At the moment, It'd be nice to have a monthly trance party thrive(Alt/Halcyon freshed things up up here, that's for sure). From there we can look at moving to bi-weekly, then weekly.

The below as on ITM, but 100% IMHO sums up why people go out...(who aren't dedicated followers, but turn up to big nights etc)

true.. i also think there is too many small events... i think their needs to be a rival to Transmission.. another big event to go every off month Transmission isnt on.


with regards darey and marcella.. didnt they break up, why would the hook up again?

Well as S_madis and others mentioned branding is key. We need strong brands which people recognise. That is why "A Night at Icebox" has changed names this month to "A Night of Trance". The team feels that the new name is more brandable. It is also less dependable on the individual venue. The new name displays what we are about and it is not to different from our old name so hopefully people will realise what the night is.

The big surprise i refered to earlier was not about Marcella or a Dj in particular. It should more be a solution to what you talked about above.

They did indeed break up, BUT Dareys connection with Marcella hasn't been broken. It's definetly not your typical relationship where they lose touch.

respect to Darey.
