Busby Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 If Full on fridays stay on Fridays playing trance, it would be a good idea for someone to host a night of Funky house and breaks! just something different, maybe thats exactly what scene has been missing? be good if they used chill, main room and the "alley" and put a proper soundsystem in! at least for once Breeze maybe able to be abit more choosy with their clientele now that the Venue has finally closed its doors? I dont mind the classics that much but how are we supposed to have new classics? Breeze has got a really good chance of taking the majority of punters now lets hope they stay innovative and do something different instead of staying with the tried and tested methods? make the IOM good again! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We need somewhere where there can be different rooms for different styles of music but there isnt really anywhere big enough <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You asked for it - you've got it! here...

Ean Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Maybe if the Venue was supported all the time there would have been no reason to sell in the first place and we would have all been happy. I was under the impression that Heritage Homes already owned the building and when planning for flats was refused because the Venue was there they just waited for the lease to run out? Was it really not making enough money and they've just decided to close? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godfatherofManxKippers Posted September 21, 2005 Author Share Posted September 21, 2005 Land was privately owned, if someone was offereing a couple of million for something that was making abit of money I personally would jump at the chance especially as the market over here isnt the same as it has been. Great news about House Rules, lets hope that doesnt turn into a cheeze fest!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godfatherofManxKippers Posted September 21, 2005 Author Share Posted September 21, 2005 How is dance music dead?? if it was why do 40,000 clubbers go to Creamfields, Global Gathering etc each year dance music has evolved if it stayed the same it would be boring! why would there be so many dance tracks still in Top 40? I admit some of the tunes that came out around 1995 where ace, but so is some of the stuff coming out now! there is more genre's of dance music than there was in 1995 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenb Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 there is more genre's of dance music than there was in 1995 Not really. Just more dance music. The different genres have always been there. It's just that music is more likely to get labelled and pidgeonholed by magazines these days. And then you get people saying "I hate funky techno jungle, I'm into progressive breakbeat ambient" instead of just listening to good music and enjoying it for what it is.

ans Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 why would there be so many dance tracks still in Top 40? Yeah, because the Top 40 is a good guide to good music. Do you even know what a tiny amount of records you need to sell to get a number 1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speckled Frost Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 The top 40 is all baout marketing. And how many of these dance tracks have succeeded on the back of novelty, such as cartoon frogs and car adverts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godfatherofManxKippers Posted September 21, 2005 Author Share Posted September 21, 2005 I think I read somewhere thats its around 10,000 records to reach Top 40 and 250,000 to reach No 1? anyway that is going off the point. That tune from that robot car advert rocks! I think the original tune was by deep dish?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenb Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 It's 'Jacques Your Body' by Les Rhythm Digitales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Godfather of Manx House Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 ...you are joking, right ?? As little as 5000 sales would see you in the old Top 40. And 50,000 would easily see you at Number 1 most weeks... ...GOMH*... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the mo beats experience Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Whatever happened to hard house <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's slowly disappearing up its own backside due to its "check it out, i can make a tune in 5 minutes" nature.
