Ok, well, I have finally sorted a venue (owned by the poepl who used to run the velvet rooms) for a club night. I am doing this because I find london offers little of interest these days for techno/electro heads that isn`t either banging squat music in a club (why not just go to a squat party) or techno by the old skool (mills, saunderson etc).
What I am looking to do is push new sounds, new talents, and in particular Live PA`s.
We have this venue for thursdays (so we will be filling the slot left by the end of Ultimate Base) and are looking to provide a night of Deep Techno, Electro, Glitch and Experimental. The slick end of the electronic spectrum basically. Anyone who came to our White Label nights, well we are thinking along these lines, only a little more slick.
My question is.
am I barking up the wrong tree?
and wasting my time?
I have tried to put on banging techno nights in London, but it is very hard to pull the punters out of the squat party mentality and so venue owners get jittery, and worry about what will happen to their venue (and in some cases pull out at the last minute, and cause me no end of hell). And anyway, why not just go to a squat party if you want that kind of music (although there is the safety issue).
Would you be interested in this, in particular would you like to see more live performance?
And who would you like to see?
I apologise in advance if this is in the wrong section, but as it is not exactly promoting an event, I didn`t think it should be in the events section.
