I'm not talking about booking lesser-known names in Instead, Guv seems to just be doing the quick and easy to make a big buck by booking Guetta and Sander K. |
Guetta is in a class by himself.. Sander K's sets are wayyyy better even if booked ad nauseaum at Guv |

Peter, I was going to say that if anything there's MORE competition these days. With Footwork, TiL, Cobra, Circa, Vola, CoZo, Sound Academy...and that's just the bigger names...there's a ton of competition. |

09 LoL roll call was probably the smallest all=access roll call I've ever seen
I think Vola gathers more TOTA's :( |
agreed, and hate to say it but the last legendary all access event that Guv ever had was LOL 2006. |

I think I've seen them 4 times...
I was disagreeing w/ the fact that they would never work in a small room setting as well as the fact that the Orange Room is better than the Drink... crazy talk |

Not a long weekend... but i have to say that carl cox last fall was a legendary event. As was the Gift. And thats just based on what I like. There have been other heavy hitting nights since then as well.
Not every night is MY scene but thats always been the case.
I notice different crowds for different nights and that to me shows that the scene is quite fragmented (yet still pretty big) |

One thing that is missing from this discussion is considering what Guvernment is doing now that they weren't doing before.
Previously you had giant mega all access parties with multiple headliners in multiple different genres in multiple different rooms. Perfect example of this has already been mentioned in this thread, Labour of Love 2006. At that party it was literally impossible to see all of the big name talent.
But something else that happened at that party was that there was a prog/tech crowd, mixing with a trance crowd, mixing with a breaks crowd. Each different group complained about the other groups. A large percentage of music listeners are primarily a fan of one portion of dance music, so forcing them to mingle with 8 thousand other partiers just made them complain about each different group they weren't a part of.
Now it seems like Guvernment has taken the approach of combining Like with Like. Instead of having huge all access parties where there were dozens of headliners spanning every different genre of dance music, they are throwing more smaller parties that have a few headliners. But the major difference is that at those parties all the headliners play the same style of music, appealing to one specific group of fans.
Parties like the tech fest at family day and the trance mayhem that was contact used to be combined into one all access, now they are separate events. |

nah don't think so
even 2006 was small-ish compared to Decadance and Freedom roll calls

clearly ASOT 450 contradicts this.. |

I'm surprised that my #1 fan (VDub) hasn't commented in this thread yet.
Where are you my good buddy? |

I believe he was talking about the party m'lady. As that LoL kicked the living piss out of anything that has come & gone since. Hernan & Digweed in main room; Armin, Junkie XL, & Ferry closing with a 6 hour set until 10am in the KH:eyespop: ; Porter practically melting the walls in Gallery; I believe it was Icey et al dropping breaks in the Orange room; and lastly, I could also be wrong on this, but wasn't DJ Hype headlining the D'n'B lineup in the Drink that night?
I mean, sweet jesus!, I don't think we'll get anything like that again. |
