    ask freaky dancing if its harder for them when turbulence have a huge line up on the same night

    ask habit if its harder for them when wax on have a stellar line up on the same night

    quite frankly digital want to put the squeeze on them imho

    The only problem with Newcastle, like Tony said, is the lack of 80-200 capacity venues where people can put on nights/djs with a bit more a of leftfield slant and not have to worry about the venue being half empty.

    Everything else is fine. People used to moan that there was a lack of quality nights and now there is, people are moaning about them :lol:

    So?

    Digital is a business, wants to take market share in Newcastle, wants to grow nationally.

    I still don't see what's bad about that, and why you need to bleat on about it relentlessly.

    Not really?

    If you want top class house djs you go to Habit/Shindig
    If you want top class techo djs you go to Error/Freaky Dancing
    If you want top class trance djs you go to Junior G/Evolve
    If you want top class drum n bass djs you go to Curves/Turbulence
    If you want top quality dogs on strings you go to Detox

    Quality :lol:

    foundation was kwalatee simple as that, and digital's its newer, flashyer, well marketed however not as good younger brother.

    all i'm sick of is going to nights at the ballrooms, everything seems to be there in terms of my own taste. and i sometimes outright refuse to go to digital just on principal.

    for a start i just cant get comfertable on the dancefloor, and the fact that your basically just dancing to a silhouette of a bloke is beyond me.

    just because it's the BIGGEST, doesn't mean it's the best - people will go cause they think it's the only choice they have - and will accept it as the status quo. it is a little like the supermarket vs corner shop arguement....

    ahh fuck - i'm supporting melt again. i've been brainwashed.

    Ever changing
    Newcastle always has for the past 10 years, had a massive selection of nights and venues for people into that music .... compared to its TINY size and lack of surrounding cities.

    I dunno what people could possibly want, over and above what they already have - without completely saturating the market.

    It will never be like Leeds, Sheff, Manc etc.

    Its quite an achievement that in the 2 and a bit years ive been coming / helping out at Detox its increased in size but youve kept it at a decent size but you have the scope to increase the capacity if you wanted to
