But what I'm saying is that you hear women use that as an excuse not to go to certain clubs pretty frequently. People generally understand that, so why is it any different if a guy is asking to avoid the same situation? |

Sorry if there is already a review thread somewhere... but I can't find it.
Ok, so DJ Eco, EnigmaT, and I (and various other non-TAs) got there around 12:45 or so. We get in, and some people I know standing around by the bathrooms/coatroom tell me that it's absolutely packed downstairs in the main room. A bit suprised, we head over to the dancefloor and found that it was indeed pretty packed (not Tiesto, but pretty tight). Looking around at the crowd, I can't say I was impressed. Schoolgirl outfits aside, there were a lot more angry, juiced up guidos than last week @ Hernan. Also, many of the people just didn't seem very much into the music --- a lot of people just standing by the bars and slowly sipping their drinks. The dancefloor was actually the tightest in the back of the club, toward that little counter that separates the main bar from the main floor. Right in front of the stage or under the booth, however, had a great deal of extra room.
But I haven't told the worst of it yet. Porter wasn't on stage, he was in the Crobar booth. That booth is so high up, that unless you're on stage, there's no connection with the DJ whatsoever. In fact, I had to guess based on style when they switched b/w Pearce and Porter. What made the setup worse was that they were putting on shows on the stage. Now, as fun as the shows may have been, Porter was actually slowing down his tracks to suit the needs of the show. Who does that? He played Pink Floyd's 'The Wall, Part 2' while a rather sexual performance was going on on the stage. He only returned to playing his usual house tracks when the show was wrapping up, mixing the original version of the track into some remix that I hadn't heard before, but which kicked ass.
Musically speaking, the set was a lot of fun. It was rather driving house with frequent breaks, something vaguely smacked of Armand van Helden, who is in my opinion a pretty good DJ. Porter dropped some great tracks, and so did Pearce (though I wasn't sure which was which), especially toward the end of the night, where one amazing track dropped that I couldn't identify though had heard many many times.
Final Verdict: The crappy setup and not-so-fun crowd really hurt the party overall, regardless of the quality of the music, which was pretty good. Finally, I can't say that this party can be compared to Hernan last week --- so I'll be looking forward to Chris Lawrence or G&D (w/ Jason Jollins!!!) next week! |
Yo whattup.....
To clairify a couple of things.
The club had us play upstairs cause they were doing that performance onstage.
The club asked me to play that pink floyd song for the performance (which makes sense with the theme of the night "leave them kids alone"). I then mixed it into that dopeeeeeeeeee new electro mix of it. Glad you enjoyed.
And it was Porter from 1:30-3:30 then me from 3:30 to close. So if you really liked the end, I'm flattered. Thanks dude |

Hehe, I really don't like that concept. I'm a DJ worshipper, so I like to be able to scream and jump in front of the stage when the DJ's spinning.

Yeah, as I said, the end was great. This kind of thing is what makes me stay to the end of nearly every event I go to (since I started clubbing in NYC on Sept. 9th, 2005, I've only left early twice, and I've gone out nearly every week at least once). Even if the beginning is bad, you never know what sick tracks will drop next.
P.S.... do u have an ID on that electro mix of 'The Wall Part 2'... as I said, that was bangin'. |
