I don't think they like their imagination being controlled by synths or melodies but rather by words. |
dumb down the trance synths, and add a couple of words like bitch, booze, ******, , hot, thong
there you have it an RnB song :whip:

I dont think Matt & Marcella would be coming to only play Melgurn, i'd say a Sydney gig is already signed up. |
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) :p
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)

Say for the aforementioned Mobile Home:
Massive mainstream ad campaign + Bondi Beach + Millenium NYE + World's #1 DJ (at the time) + The fact it looked like a great party = Sellout event. |

| Monthly nights are better imo. |

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. |

| errm.. maybe for a profession & to earn some $.. theyve been recording together even after their break up. |

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. |
