Opinions on lineups?

Opinions on lineups?

Just looking for some opinions here really. Imagine theres a new trancey/tech/progressive night starting up a in a cool, dark, small venue in Sunderland (sorry its not Newcastle), and the promoter is lucky enough to have some funding behind him.

Alot of the well known names are unavailable, and you dont want to bring the cheese makers in for fear of getting shit loads of flak from the cooler clubbbers. Who would you like to see on the opening night? Playing it reasonably safe obviously as you dont want an empty room.

all the Discover DJs

:yawn:

Is nobody else bored of them yet?

It's all starting to sound the same to me

well am not mate like, not yet anyway, when av seen these lads on at JnrG av really enjoyed then, really looking forward to Downey next week.
i think the productions off the label are class aswell!

don't listen to anyone on this board, they know nothing or don't have a clue

sunderland, so i've heard, is a tough nut to crack for 'proper' clubbing

Re: Opinions on lineups?

Translates as a tiny, dingy smack den in Sunderland??

is this Independant by any chance ?

its not that bad a venue, and im sure you can get trebles for 2 quid.

A very tough nut, but thats why im here, im sure its my destiny

No body else has ever done anything like this before in Sunderland, the only credible night running here is Ward 10 but their nights are more housey - kinda like a mini Shindig. Still excellent stuff though.

Zero tolerance on drugs I'm afraid, I personally dont see any need for it.

EDIT: Inquired about Greg Downey last week, he is available, I'm waiting further details. Also, Mike Foyle is one of our residents.

Im guessing itll either be Voodoo Rooms or Independent.

i cant see independent giving up fridays (club NME) or saturdays (music for misfits)

and thursdays is cool for cats.

Unless you charge 20quid on the door of Voodoo rooms you wont get enough money to afford any big names cos its rather small.

Dont worry about the venue, we'll announce what it is later on. Its already booked but I dont want to give out any details just yet. I'm really looking for thoughts / views on who's cool these days and who can pull a crowd without it being a tacky affair.

it was sounding the same 2 years ago Chris.

No originality at all

It always has.



What do you mean by 'well known names'?

I reckon you should get Erol Alkan.

i know hes not tech/trance/prog but im fucking dying to see him.

What about Jon O'Bir? Or have the charvs nicked him?

O'Bir will be coming at some point, but not for the opening night. I perosnally like Andy Moor - any thoughts on him?

Will Holland

neil scarborough !



is there many trance heads in sunderland ? i know of the seaham lot but....

Bryan Kearney

Menno De Jong..........I wish!

Theres a few, but we'll have to educate people. Things are only going to get better if somebody has the balls to do something like this in the first place.

how do you gan about 'educating people' into liking trance ?

thing is with sunderland, it seems everyone is either 'him outta that band', or a hendon mad dog...

thats my view anyways..

V. true.

Your either a full on Radgepacket, or Complete and utter Indie boy - "with that hair, and those jeans, who looks like such and such out of blahdy blahdy blah"

the problem is the people who like trance in sunderland, more than not like the new monkey as well. its a curse.

but ai, neal scarborough and bryan Kearney FTW like pet
