Whoops I mixed up lasts yrs May 2-4 House LineUp w/ LoLs.
Anyways, I'm not sure what you expect of them. To grab all underground DJs that wont sell the place out?!? |
LoL will sell out almost regardless of which DJs they bring in. I don't think anyone is suggesting it should be an all underground DJs event anyhow. Besides, what is an underground DJ nowadays? I think people would be happy with some variation from the norm or some of the less commercial DJs.
Personally, I would like to see DJ Irene, Lisa Lashes, Orbital, Moby, and many others but I know that isn't going to happen. |

Every time I see that she is out west I always think about making a weekend trip to Calgary or Edmonton so I can go see her. |

Those two years were complete MAYHEM!!!! I remember when it was over, I was begging for more!! (When I was young enough to handle such long stints on the dancefloor). SUCH epic nights!!!! :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: |

| Yeah for sure that 9 year was legendary. I still remember the 5 year one w Mauro Picotto and Aphrodite. |

Buncha senior citizens ITT. Remember when you were young and you used to think about those people that started everyone sentence with "remember when...? and think G damn they're old. Well now that's you.
But ya totally agreed those lineups sound way better than current day. Problem is:
-Clubs are a business
-Businesses want money
-Youth go out and spend more money
-Youth likes cheese
Thus, clubs book more cheese because they want the money that youth spend.
Let me use this month with examples. Digweed 2 weekends ago was an awesome night, legendary DJ, great mixing, great tunes, perfect dance floor space and primo vibe. But you know what? A&B the weekend before was half of all the things listed above but PACKED full of people buying drinks. Guarantee you guv made 30-40% if not more. So in their shoes I'd be booking more A&B cheese and less legendary Diggers... |

I agree. I just wonder how much of it really comes down to greed...
Surely their is good money to be made booking respected ar who genuinely are trying new things and to advance the electronic scene...
Granted, it might not be for the "kids", who are more concerend with Guetta, Deadmau5, and Skillrex(sp?), than they ever will be for Hawtin, Mills, & Klock....
but...
shouldn't it always be about the music? Isn't that why we all got into this is in the first place? Is it nieve to think that its wrong to actively NOT book people like this? Especially if a venue is supposed to be the world class establishment they like to claim to be?
When I think of the best clubs, I think of Berghain, DC-10, Fabric, Robert-Johnson, Rex Club.........all seem to do pretty well financially.
These places don't book commercial mainstream artists. They book forwarding thinking artists who are actively putting out music that seeks to forward the electronic movement as a whole. Artists like Toronto's very own James Teej or Art Department. Who, coincidently enough, have yet to headline at the top club in their own city. Seems a bit odd, no? |
