TAs have ZERO pull on the state of the scene here in Toronto |
If you think that, you clearly have no idea what you're talking about. |

Which is what confuses me the most about this thread lol I think Gera said it best in the event thread, this years Decadence is likely the biggest/most expensive party Guv has ever put on... So how can we sit here and argue about their line-ups being "on the decline"... |
I'm talking about being on the decline in terms of quality of line-ups, and in terms of number of heads through the door in the last few years of all-access parties. I'm not talking about heads through the door for this specific party. |

ok so maybe a 5%pull? who really cares.. the point is its minimal.
If i really have no idea what im talking about, then maybe you can enlighten all of us and put out some facts as to how much of a pull "tota" has.. |

Yep. It's no longer as consistent. Sure we get 'one off' parties like this year's Decadence but it's nowhere near what it used to be...or at least the djs we would get were a lot better musically. |

Normally I would give a meaningful reply to this, but considering how much of a dumbass you've shown yourself to be in previous posts, I am not even going to make an attempt.

being a long time reader and minimal poster, i find this statement to pretty much sum up a lot of people on here...
people get upset when someone disagrees with them and call them this and that.. when someone post a rebuttal to defend them selves they pull the old
"you are an idiot i wont bother responding to you"
i think one should look in the mirror first.....

And the big guys will draw the name whores everytime. The new generation wont go unless its on Z103 or Much.
The underground is shrinking....
HOWEVER....
Experience shows that if u have a gigantic commercial base, the underground usually benefits quite well.
So fear not, booking guetta and van burrin etc will inevitably have a GOOD effect on our scene.
Pretty much every teenager in canada knows of and is a fan of guetta and deadmau5 which is very very positive thing for the future of electronic music in this country. |
I tend to agree with most of this. Booking big name commercial DJs tend to make the people who want the more "underground" sound come together which leads to other parties. I think the benefits are already being seen with some of the bookings other clubs are making. If Guv keeps booking big commercial DJs then other promoters and clubs will pick up the other DJs that Guv doesn't seem to want to touch. You are already seeing that at FW, Cobra and other venues. |

| lol textbook. You have no meaningful response.. I asked you to prove it and you cant. So dont go telling me I dont know what im talking about when clearly neither do you. Its a pissing match, no one knows the % TAs contribute to the local scene. However I think if you look past your inferiority complex you will come to the quick conclusion that the % is like i stated .. minimal. good day son |
