Frankly this topic has been discussed before and frankly it ended up as a flame war between taha, zing vs. some toronto peeps. Frankly as far I know, people are not that loyal to clubs (yes some are) but most rather see big name deejays and most ppl don't care where. I will add that it depends on what kinda night it is at the guv because I've seen the dj booth at the back. At the koolhaus and the guv, you are likely to find deejays walking around just chatting with people. Frankly I think if you like Aria then great, if you like the Guv then great. Both are the two top clubs in all of Canada and many big names love to play at both clubs. |

A little late, but here goes nothing.
I went to the Guvernment on a regular Saturday night with Mark Oliver spinning. Before even entering the club, you can tell this place is different from Aria. The building has a giant logo of the Guv, which you won’t find at Aria. This really shows the philosophy behind those clubs, one wants to show off and reach as much people as it can, while the other try to have an underground image of itself and attract an elitist crowd. This could be explained if you look at the djs both clubs book, Aria tends to book a lot more techno djs than the Guv, which pleases the more “underground” and somewhat elitist type of crowd.
What I liked about the Guvernment complex:
• Clean club
• Nice decorations (orange room is wow!)
• Alcohol
• Crowd (good looking people)
• Many rooms, many vibes
What I disliked about the Guvernment complex:
• Crowd (cracked out 40s old Asians)
• Sound quality was bad
• Too much lights, too distracting
• Layout of the Guv room (dj booth too high and not in the middle, glassed vip balcony,…)
That being said, at first sight, The Guvernment complex can be described as being a “world class” club, whereas for Aria it takes more than a couple of visits before one can appreciate its subtleties and affirm the same thing.
It wouldn’t be fair to compare the Guv complex versus Aria. Because the Guv complex offers a lot more than you can ask, and can easily be declared as better. But if we compare the main room at Aria and the Guv room, in my opinion Aria is the better one of the two.
Musically talking, that night, Mark Oliver was not good at all; he kept changing pace, going from trancy to housier tunes without any progression. Compared to the day before at Viva, he sucked. (sorry TOTA you guys seemed to have a blast with Mark’s set) Also, doesn’t the Guv have another resident dj?? When I think about Mark Oliver, I think about Mc Mario…
On a side note, the bouncer asked for ID at the door, I am 24 looking almost 30… I told him no way, I got in anyways. Never ever been asked for ID before…
anywys, would I go back to the Guv, absolutely!! |

| I just wanna have fun, hear some great music. Locations can make this happen, example ottawa suck cause their is no crowd to listen to the music. As for the clubs so long as the crowd has energie and the DJ can feed of it and give it back then any club with that atmosphere is an amazing club. |

Hold on a second.
Mark Oliver = MC Mario. LMFAO.
You got to be kidding.
I really pity those who havent been able to listen to a true Mark Oliver 9 hour set in the guv.
Some nights he s around but the majority of his sets blow the club away. |

I regular both clubs (Depending on the DJ)
They are two totally different clubs, apples and oranges. Leave it at that. |
