+1 Bryan...

I don't think you can say the night did not work out...it was just different....but it seems lots of people enjoyed it...

Word up, props to Sonic for having the balls to try something different. I have more respect for a business that tries new things, than for a business that sticks with what's comfortable...just because it's profitable.

Booking fresh talent to me shows where Sonic's heart lies: with the MUSIC. That's what will keep me going back.

We need to show our RESPECT by showing up...not talking about it on Monday!

My BEST nights at Sonic are when the TAs show up in force!

Hah, you've got me there. Alas, my first priority is my education.

Sorry Jenny...that was NOT a dig...just stating the obvious....that's why I made the comment about my best nights there...I LOVE it when we are all out as a large force...best nights EVER...especially at a venue like Sonic!

Originally posted by tarrantella66 Despite the fact that Sonic has tried to show a variety of range in the talent they are bringing (kudos for that), I find that lately, their bookings are very inconsistent... That brings confusion. The first few months following the club opening were more consistent. Even though I don't believe in labeling dance music genres (A RECORD IS GOOD TO DANCE TO IT OR NOT, REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU CALL IT), most people tend to stick to one genre or the other. Booking talent is akin to curatorial work: Finding the common thread among the variety.

I don't think that there's that much of a difference in the talent Sonic is bringing. It's not like they're bringing Jungle DJs one week and then Trance DJs the next. Although their format has changed, when going to Sonic, you have a pretty good idea of what you're going to get. I think the amount of variety they've had in the past couple of months has been perfect. It certainly beat the previous format, which was almost all NYC/Montreal tribal/progressive DJs.

The last month or so has been amazing...and the next few weeks look VERY strong!

Seriously. And just when I was starting to think that I was crazy or tone deaf for enjoying myself on Saturday. It was't like these guys were playing some form of incomprehensible aleatoric music from another galaxy...

Check out Teeloos Kitchen, Nitin and Jonny White's myspace pages...there are mutliple sets available for download if you want to judge for yourself...

Dude no one said that you were crazy, some people just didn't like the music. You're SO defensive about this night. As long as you had a good time who cares what other people thought
