Hey everyone,
I've been a lurker of the forums for awhile, but rarely post. However I need to get this out there, and I don't think its a new topic....
I've lived in Manhattan for about 6 months. I moved here just in time to go to Electric Zoo, which was fantastic. I never knew Chemical Brothers were so good (and I'm glad I do now). I unfortunately never made it to Love, but every since I've been trying to find as much progressive and trance that I can. Honestly, that's resulted in more than my share of nights at Pacha, and a few scattered nights at WH, Cielo, Sullivan, and D36.
At the very least, I've seen some good shows.... Ferry, Kaskade, Gareth, Cosmic Gate (last week), and Dirty South come to mind. But it's not enough.. I've had to take a trip or two down to Glow in DC when there was nothing here.
Finding good E is hard enough (for clarity I'm not asking here), but I find it even harder to find the music unless really big acts come into town. The crowd is obviously here - Pacha is packed, even if it is B&T and they're far from the best club to dance at (in my opinion). To even add to my confusion, I see TONS of shows happening, listed all over RA, etc. But not only do I not know who the DJs are (thats OK, I'll learn), but I have NO idea what style of music they are. That's fine, I understand you dont want to just name a genre, but for a new guy to the city, I have no inside knowledge and I'm pretty lost. I know that Basic NYC is house, and Blkmarket is minimal tech (I think?) but that's about as far as I've gotten. I just don't understand, either I'm not looking in the right places or haven't been here long enough.
Maybe some of you have some insight. Where is all the progressive & trance in NY? What promotors or event companies should I know about? Who's list should I be on? I just want to dance!
Thanks.
