One durable person. One social graph. Many communities—and every way people speak, share, listen, write, gather and remember.
Kansas City hasn't ever really been known for being a contender in the EDM scene, but it feels like over the past 5 years the amount of big names that come through here have gone done significantly. I rarely see a rave anymore, though it may be because I scrutinize the names that are billed to those that still take place.
I'm curious if it's just us, or if this is common around where you are. Are parties still happening as often as they used to? More? Less? What city are you in?
Re: Still partying? raves and club nights
Manchester comes to life 2nd part of the year when WHP is on.
But we do have loads of smaller nights where there is plenty of good talent!
So yeah we lucky here, plus liverpool an Leeds are not to far away.
Re: Still partying? raves and club nights
We're pretty lucky here in Toronto! We generally have a big name almost everyweekend...well what I consider big anyway. There are a few regular club nights (Thurs - Sun) that are good consistantly with local dj's and out of towners. Also, a few party throwers bring in some good talent to some obscure venues and serve all night. There's always something going on here except on Tues nights! Lol!
Re: Still partying? raves and club nights
Ya it has come to a screeching halt in Windsor as well. We used to get Porter Zabiela Desyn Howells and now we don't get anybody like that.

Nope. Moved into the hills away from people. Moved onto Nu-disco/Indie. Shit reminds of the old days before progressive got tainted.
Re: Still partying? raves and club nights
Hey man! Stick around... we miss you :)
Re: Still partying? raves and club nights
holy shit it's asdf.. I haven't seen you on here in a long time.
Re: Still partying? raves and club nights
The scene is on its arse and has been for sometime. Weekly club events have all but vanished, it's all about one-off events now and even those don't get the numbers they once did. People will say its more underground, but the reality of it is most people don't go out much anymore. Your average Progg night is full of people in their 30's or 40's, you don't get many people in their 20's or even teens. Even in Ibiza they are not getting the numbers they did in the 90's. I remember going to Gatecrasher, The Gallery, Gods & Renaissance when the club would be rammed and there would be 2000 people outside in the queue. You don't see that anymore. The some big cities do OK but I remember hearing about Howells playing to a handful of people in Birmingham a few years back.

Re: Still partying? asdf_admin and skahound
Things are diluted everywhere, so I end up travelling to see things - being in England/Europe I end up pretty lucky and can catch something most months.
In Liverpool we had Diggers a couple of weeks back plus [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=310"]Carl Craig[/url] plays 3beat record store and Circus next week, Hernan & Howells play B2B in April and [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=5"]Sasha[/url] returns in May.
I can travel to Manchester and get the first train back - Diggers plays Sankeys in May and Warehouse Project later in the year and I'm sure [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=5"]Sasha[/url] will play dates too. This is all outside of the two annual Bedrock nights and Fabric/MOS bills in London. Plus there are usually dates in Leeds, Birmingham, Sheffield and Scotland.
For summer I usually hit ibiza and can combine a night out with travelling and sightseeing in other countries. I have a long list of places I'd love to go to, which included Japan :(

Yeah, really. Who does that guy think he is? Coming in here to answer the OP. :lol:
Good work, Dom! We're through after two. Both of them are the most precious little angels. I can't imagine that we could strike gold a third time!
