dont forget that BASE was normally half full of tourists hoping for a peek at coxy.. it was normally busy but not allways by any means, and it had lots of heavyweight names, busloads of japanese tourists & a history..

I think its a bit of a risk to be honest mate.. there was 'system' on a thursday (still going?) which i went to several times when i lived up there and it was never that busy when i was there, and again it had plenty of heavys as part of its clique (who probably played for **** all) - but no tourist punters as such, and of course, it didnt have BASE's history.

I dunno geez, it sounds great in theory but just think carefully about where base and system got thier punters (and they didnt allways have heaps) from and think about what you can do to make up for what they had without spending money cos im sure they didnt spend much.

make sure the flyer is decent too man, none of this 'hackney chic' on so many flyers going about, i wouldnt ever pay to go to a club that didnt have a good flyer, it says heaps about the taste of the promoter and the general quality of organisation behind the night. Get decent designers like Protean to do it.

As far as what id like to see, its nothing else than 100% quality artists djs. And to be frank ive never gone to a club where all the djs and thier tunes have been shit hot all night long :(
oh and of course a good sound system is vital
and sexy flyers
and pole dancers
nakid
rubbing baby oil int...err

urm..yeah anyway, just quality stuff all night, id like to see some decent breaks, some experimental bits and some techno all in one night but never straying too far from stuff you can swing yer pants too..
