techno scene going quiet???

[BritishMurderBoy]

as ampassasin says im spoilt for choice when it comes to techno in birmingham.. i dont have enough money to go to every night i would like to...

H.O.G. insurection, cohesion. AJ and now inukshuk

you lot should get yourselves to the midlands...

[Col]

is this true for any of you?
the u.k. esp. is really going quiet right now.
sure you've got the end every so often
and billy nasty's doing a new night at the mass (brixton) i think
perhaps the festivals to an extent
but where else?
and i mean hard techno really not tech house so much
the underground clubs have been crap here recently
discuss

i dont get out as much as i would like, when i do go out i usually go to a techno night in leeds, generally the parties are well attended, although i went to a free techno party in leeds about 2 weeks ago, ignition technition, mike humphries, jon nuccle among others, the event was supported by primate, planet rythm, punish, innercity, and eastern bloc

i expected a mass turn out with the line up, and the support from the labels & record shops, and the fact it was free seemed unbelivable!....about 100 people turned up in a 800 capacity venue! i thought people from all over the uk would be cutting off a right arm to get there.

i dont know if this adds weight to your post but i just couldnt belive the turn out. come on people pull your finger out!

if we are going to talk about techno hotspots, tokyo is amazing if you have enough money to go around to all the clubs and see the ridiculous amount of global talent who play here.

i am moving to madrid in 10 days and from what i can tell, madrid is TECHNO CITY, no joke. i can't wait.

techno scene quiet?? that'd explain the rumours about orbit closing

[MARKEG]

those rumours have been around for the last 10 years :lol:

[Esox Lucius]

apparently the orbit is moving to granary wharf in leeds (under the train station) so they can do longer nights, this is what i heard anyway.

[The Divide]

I once got told it was been bought by entertainment company (same one that owns Majestics) and that it was to be changed into a cheesy pop night club. It was just some cunt who had set his own nite up and was wrongfully spreading propaganda in an attempt to steal their customers. However some one did say they where trying to change venue not so long ago...

[davethedrummer]

yeah my mum just bought the orbit!
it only cost her a packet of fags
and a sip of cider
at least that's what she told me when i visited her last week

wait a minute.....
what the **** am i talking about?????

[MARKEG]

your mum IS the orbit!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I totally know what you people mean!
Just moved down to Brighton a few months ago from the midlands thinking this is where it all happens (what was I thinking?) and have had to head west to Portsmouth for all the techno nights!
There's only one night a month here to my knowledge (apex at the pressure point) but it's hardly geushky.
What are we to do (aside from moving to Birmingham)???

PS- Had started going off the dance scene altogether as there seemed no good music to buy. That was until today when I purchased mark eg's "club xperiments"- HAPPY DAYS!!! You've restored my faith in the scene and I'm now kicking myself for not going to your recent night in Portsmouth. Get your ass back there (or Brighton) asap!
:D
