Fabric

This is the point, you should go to a club because it plays good music, regardless of who's playing.

No I'm not. I'll quite happily go to Shindig, or other nights, on any night and will usually have a great time. However what most of these people would find if they went down a little more regularly is that Shindig is just as good on any night, not only when old Promise DJs are playing.

I don't want to sound like I'm bumming Shindig here mind, I'm only using it as an example.

but you've just proved what i've just said, you go because you know they will booked dj's that play good tunes, so your there for the dj whether you look at them or not, your there for they style of play.

but you are your unwilling to accept that these people may only like sasha etc... just because you don't

I'm unwilling to accept it because it's utter bollocks. It's just psychological nonsense. When DJs like Sasha, Dave Seaman and Zabiela play Shindig, they don't play trance like they used to play at Promise, they play house or prog, similar to what most of the other DJs at Shindig play, yet the part-timers go down solely because they used to play at Promise, and mock Shindig the rest of the time, when, in actual fact, they could go down every week and have equally as good a night.

what i'm saying is that no matter whether the dj is famous or not the night is still about the dj and what tunes he plays, if he plays shit people have a shit night if he plays good people have a good night, if he doesn't turn up they have to replace him with another dj or theres no night, so the night cannot happen with out them.

Stick the DJ in some poky hole near the back door of the room like in Fabric and I reckon you would notice a huge difference..

thats bullshitshit though shindigs musical pallette is very varied, its why its still going strong because people don't get bored, with the same shit week in week out.

I agree to an extent, but it's not that varied. It's still just house music at the end of the day. They have a variation because they have two rooms and they alternate what they have in each room on different weeks, but you're always likely to hear similar-sounding stuff each time you go in one of the rooms.

Plus the Shindig residents are better than most guests they have on anyway, and they're on about twice a month each.

Allie and Brid you're both talking out of your arse.

Mint topic for a debate you've just brought up here.

Any Moodymann fans want to get involved in this?

you so talk out of your rectum

it has always been about the music

superstar "we love the dj2 worship didnt start until about 1994 / 1995" and dance music in its current incarnation has been jogging along since 1989

whereas you my "friend" are sticking your tongue in theirs

Kenny Dixon Jr. Techno DJ/producer from Detroit. The fact that you don't know who he is means I probably shouldn't continue, but he plays behind a sheet, and still attracts proper fanboys like Lee B, Daly, etc.

allies been mocking promise evere since he thought trance became uncool

and SASHA NEVER played trance when he played PROMISE he played utter garbage fall asleep prog

apart from very recently SASHA has been gash for years and aint been any good since he knocked out stuff like amoeba assassin rollercoaster on the decks in '97

people go to shindig because it like digital is a brand name

if it were a fast food restaurant it would be macdonalds and their food is shite

anyway you cant even dj worship downstairs in shindig the booth is about 50 feet high

i would pay good money to have allie permanently behind a sheet
