Yeah you're completely right... Can't speak for all the European countries, but in Italy, a night to see Sven Vath, Mauro, and James Zabiela, only cost me 25 euros, and that's without reduced admission, full price at the door, and at one of Italy's most famous clubs, COCORICO'. Yet, in a month, we have Webster Hall with $30 reduced admission, with Mauro and Sander Van Doorn (who, with all due respect to his many fans on NYTA, still has a mountain to climb to prove to a New York crowd he's worth the amount this party is asking for admission)... Rewind to a year ago when seeing Mauro Picotto at Crobar, a better club, was free before midnight on Bradley Rose's list... You better believe that money's not going to make a bigger and better and louder Webster Hall... I don't know, it's not as much about the MUSIC (which in the past I've defended trance music against people who say it's for n00bs) that I'm starting to lose hope in... It's the big $60,000 DJs.... Nights like Tyas & Patterson in the sideroom of Crobar, and nights like that, consistently prove their worth, while the experience at an Armin or PvD or Tiesto night is doing the opposite... Something many of you have been saying, but although I download tons of PvD and Armin sets that I ENJOY and like A LOT, the live experience just ain't the same...
PS: And that 25 euros for those three DJs a) was regarded by my friends there as too expensive, and b) includes a free drink of your choice |

Ppl are generally cooler since most travelled hundreds, even thousands of miles for one event and its just ONE party every so often, not some every other weekend type deal so u make the effort to go to it. I mean when I hit up Nature One in 2006, everybody I came across was mad cool. Even though I dont speak any german, most knew english to some extent and said WOW, ure all the way here from NYC. Mad props, ure dedicated to this type of music huh. That same person seeing me in an NYC club as his first trip to a party in the states would go, "Hey m8, whats up with all this cracked out asians in the corner and $7 dollars for water and redbull. Why is that guy with really big muscles taking his shirt off and doing a monkey dance with a bunch of other monkeys in a circle ?" Somehow, he wouldnt experience half of what I would going to a party over there. So yea, in a sense, ALL OF YOU ARE GETTING the shaft, including the guy here on his vacation from Europe dealing with the piss poor setting of what is "THE AMERICAN DANCE CULTURE" despite it being the same DJ, music, whatever. Hopefully the TA(Blake I think is his name) will post some pics/videos from his trip there. Im interested to see what he thought of that party in his own words. |
Stop going to Pacha and go to other spots instead if you dont want to deal with the stereotypical crowd... Cielo, Love, Apt, Studio B, Bar13, etc... |

Word to that too... While I agree with Quick (don't know your name, sorry lol), I also don't see him reviewing (or showing interest in) nights at Love, Mercury Lounge, Galapagos, Sully, etc., where the best of New York nightlife culture is thriving...
And you'd be VERY surprised how educated the Europeans are before coming here... Everyone has friends who worked or lived or travelled here, so the places like Cielo, Sully, etc., are travelling through word of mouth, not to mention bad reviews of the Pachas and Crobars, etc... They come here knowing what to go see, for their type of music.... Took my cousins from Italy and her friends to places like Love, Shelter, Sully, Studio B, and even hookah bars, and you know what, the second their friends tell them they're going to New York too, they're going to write EVERYTHING down to them... |

Met a few people from Germany last night at Studio B, seemed like there was a pretty diverse Euro crowd there last night, or it could have just been the Euro looking hipsters there... |
