Hey Nick, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on Panama... I know you've spent quite a bit of time in De Nederlands ;)
Again, I'd like to stress just how much I love that place and am officially DYING to go back... Oddly enough the last DJ I saw there who I absolutely thought KILLED it was Markus... :crazy: |

Fabric is supposed to be amazing. Its the only one in the top three I couldn't make it too.(evil comedown) Back when I was last in london, I was told there was speakers built into the floor. I have heard from a lot of people in my travels around europe about thier amazing experience's at fabric. Definately will make a trip there next time I am in london.
-edit-
The gallery at Turnmills OMG FTW:gsmile: |

not that this really applies, but your question made me think of something Max Graham posted in his blog that i thought was really cool to read...
| quote: | just got home from an eastern european tour last night, exhausted...
its amazing playing in parts of the world where life is not as easy as in north america, we're ing babysat here, everything we want at our finger tips, im bitching because im out of fiji and have to drink evian. its really insane.
i played fri night in zagreb (croatia) then sat in belgrade (serbia) - both parties rocked...see the thing im getting at is partying is a release from your daily reality. dancing till the wee hours to forget your troubles. it seems the bigger your troubles the more you go off. so take a country that lives in tension or troubled with economy or government issues...when the locals go out they appreciate the opportunity to let go and dance their ass off so much more. they don't sit around bitching about how the scene used to be or get on the message boards and pick apart everything they see and hear. they just have a great ing time losing themselves to the music...more westerners should realise how lucky they have it i swear... |

That's a nice and thoughtful post by Max but have you ever been in a club full of Indians? It's very awkward. I'd guess the closest I could get to describing it would be if you combined the obnoxiousness and thuggery of hip-hop with the nerdiness of the finest computer programmers and mathematicians that India has to offer. The result is a weird combo of "thug nerd" who is as obnoxious and rambunctious as he is creepy.
Now I observed this phenomenon in several instances, particularly in smaller clubs that have a larger Indian/Pakistani clientele - it's especially evident when they travel in packs.
I have no idea what fuels or drives it, but I've always been fascinated by it. They are like a hive mind. |

yeah..actually... i am completely fed up with american life and i'm going back to my roots; holland... my heart lies there, just as music as my musical life will advance FAR more than it could ever have here... my musical style is far more stylized than all these local dj's and the bar owners only want to hear ''rap''... i just wish there was a place where they would let me play what i want... i cant seem to meet the god damn right guys out here ;)
besides the point. Panama is insane, so is turnmills... ;) but club matrixx is dope too, dunno why its not on there, haha...i wish I could go to south america and experience it there..wow... ok, greetz! |
