Pat Boogie throws great parties and is one of the true house promoters. I'm sorry though I just can't get behind parties at School Bakery..something just feels wrong having the gear where a sandwich is being made a couple hours earlier.

Exactly. I love a lot of the locals but for the most part they all sound the same all of the time. Everyone associates Berlin with techno and minimal but when you are there you can go hear any different genre pretty much any night.

Hopefully the likes of Loopity Goofs, Mike Gleeson, and Dirty Dale continue to get some more gigs in better venues than School Bakery.

Originally posted by gummybear That is the most uneducated edm comment I have read on here...especially the "uplifting" part...go to a party where only house music is being played and look at the faces of all the people on the dance floor and talk to me about uplifting...usually people are grinning from ear to ear and in a state of total happiness.. It's not all about bpm's. ps, pat boogie is da man for us house lovers...

Dude, i've been to only house parties, i know what they're like, you don't have to tell me. If you noticed, in the end i said, "to each his own", if you don't know what that means, it means that everybody has their own personal preference, ok. TO ME house music does not have drive or uplifting qualities, TO ME, it's more of a loungy, groovy type of music. Yeah it's not only BPM's, who do you think i am?? There are a lot of qualities that make music uplifting, i just don't find them in house music, sorry.

For you to assume that i meant BPM's was hasty of you, and rather immature. I play Hardstyle, and Hard Trance so I'm kinda partial to them, that gives me a grim from ear to ear.

GTFO.

Originally posted by gummybear As far as the local dj's.. Maybe it's because of Facebook and other portals like it but I have noticed a resurgence in the "groupie" movement. The locals are readily available and accessible to their "fans". What starts out as a groupie/dj relationship soon seems to turn into a "friendship". The "groupies" will now defend their "friends" with everything they have, follow to them from club to club and generally blow smoke up their asses. I don't see this is a bad thing (everyone needs a following) and not gender specific, BUT what it does is create a very narrow and limited view for some people.. This city has seen many, many, great locals....and if someone wants to throw in my face that this is 2009 and not 2003 go ahead..but, our locals used to be a lot more varied and to me, had more artistic integrity...Any night of the week you could hear house, techno, progressive, tribal..etc. Nowadays, everything is cookie cutter and uninspired. Don't mean to offend anyone. Thanks for letting me have my Saturday morning mini rant..

So true. There are WAY too many groupies in this city. It seems like like a majority of the people who party on a regular basis are either a groupie, or a wannabe groupie.

Also very true. It seems that every time I see Carlo recently I'm very impressed. He is honestly Toronto's best resident right now if you ask me.



Some more food for thought: Have you guys noticed how once a new, "in" sound has become established, many residents will conform exactly to that new sound, which in effect makes them lack a style which is distinctly their own? I find this is more a trait of the newer residents in the city.

quote:

Originally posted by Swamper Yea, I agree. That sound, for example, on a boat cruise, just isn't the same. I'm all for variety whether it be house, trance or techno but some of the elitists("die-hards") make me laugh when they say listening to *only* minimal or electro on a boat for hours is their thing. ZzzzZzzzz

words of wisdom!

Fly plays house --- take off your shirt, enter the manpit and raise your hands!



I really enjoy house when it's done well - but find too much of it just irritates me. But, a really good house set can make me /very/ happy and have me dancing with a smile on my face longer than Techno.

When I saw Sammy D, was a bit relieved once he got off the decks - because I was exhausted and wanting to go home, but was enjoying his set too much to leave.

But more often then not, it seems like house rubs me the wrong way.
