I grew up in Kingston and the scene there is definately lacking and difficult. I know DJ's there struggling as it is so hopefully you would include local talent as well.
I hope that you can get something going there and I would do my best to support it,plus I have a bunch of friends still there. I just have one question though, what possible venue would you use there? I can't think of anywhere that would have the sound system or space you would need as I doubt Stages or AJ's would accomodate. |

I was just in town for a week taking care of some school stuff and i went to stages on the sat night. I guess we showed up at the right time becuase the DJ there was dropping some SICK house tunes and you wouldn't beleive this but the club was RAMMED and bumping. i was shocked to see poeple enjoying it rather than just bobbing up and down! The sound was loud and crisp.
Stages would be a good choice because we could use the upstairs as VIP and downstairs for general admission. |

Honestly, I don't know if it would work. You would have to do some major promo in TO and Montreal. There's a group of DJ's that have been trying to get a house night together at Smidgies, and the night I was there, it was dead. People just don't have an appreaciation for EDM music here. They just wanna hear Top 40 at Stages, and then some AC/DC or Guns and Roses. The music scene here is awful. I've been at Stages when the DJ will throw on some mainstream house and the whole dance floor clears.

Karen's right, AJ's nor Stages would accommodate an event like that, and if they did it would be a complete show...in a bad way. |

| Don't do pure Tranc eor house - make it a variety of genres. |

Stages is always rammed when it is open as there really isn't anything else. I know the house night is new over the past yr and I know it is doing well. I also know some friends that have a night in town as well....the thing with Kingston, people don't know one DJ from the other for the most part.
But, if you did manage to pull off a night, House will do better then Trance there. |

Yeah, but in all honesty the sound system in Stages sucks. Any good DJ would probably laugh at the system in there. |

The plan was to get an AIDS event going and attract a mixed crowd from Toronto, montreal and rural ontario aswell. By 'big name' i mean the biggest names that we can get. You're right the scene in kingston is dominated by the Queen's students (i am one of them) but there is a VERY high rate of new appreciators and i want to capatalize on this. |
I went to a few parties in Kingston during the school year while up there. Had plenty of turn out! |

The funny thing with them Nada, is they DJ here once and a while, and you'd think with all their productions that they know what to play, but they play dark tech house, which I can't even listen to, and I love trance and like house. There just isn't a scen here.
It's like Armin van Who...or Tiesto, who the is that...that's how bad it is. |
