Join your hosts Dj Shan and Hevan for Super Club 4. This Friday 21st of August,
You’d be a fool to miss this one!

Get your pre-sale tickets early as this event will sell out!

No Chaomain again!?!?!? What's going on here!?!????

He is scared your going to stalk him again,

What do you mean, 'again'!?

U are sounding pretty stalkerish, you havent stopped discussing him...

U got the hots for him .Strike?

Every body check this out. Great viewing
I know its taken a week to get up but I think its worth the wait.
The official SuperClub 3 video is here http://vimeo.com/5872059
Lemme know what you think.
The beats are our originals aswell.
Electric Boogie Soundsystem, DJ Shan & Jared M

Its hard to stalk someone when they live in a different country, trust me i tried

I would rather go to X-Plicit...

yeah - once again superclub tags into an already big weekend rather than try to maximise the punters experience.

I haven't been to one yet because they seem to always land them on a weekend with other big gigs, and after the other big gigs are locked in . . . .

One wonders how after 4 superclubs you could still call that a coincidence?

Not everyone is constructive or cooperative about communicating with the rest of the scene - indeed, some promoters actually thrive on conflict and competition.

4/4 dance zone lineup looks pretty average anyway apart from Kyle; I don't think X-plicit needs to worry too much.

Underground music ftw!

Well, I assume Superclub's target audience is the more commercial type, so I don't think the other gigs have much to worry about really. Even if it wasn't conflicting with another gig, I still wouldn't go, as it has nothing on offer that I would enjoy. I'll stick to the hard house parties for my fun times

You all sound like a bunch of promoters

No they are a bunch of Tossers!

Try and stop being a Homo, see if it works for you!

Haha, a really mature comment from someone who looks as though they are trying to present themselves as some kind of manager. Real professional

At first glance, it appears as though you'd have difficulty trying to manage your way out of a paper bag

Shall be kidnap Kyle and make him play for us???

hmmm, yeah, i would have gone to all 4, but alas other gigs those weekends already committed to, so they are losing out in some small way, you'd think sooner or later promoters would try to work together, wellies is too small for this kind of childish shite . . . .

great thread...

ill be thurr! (unless i get to shitfaced at a friends 21st, or end up at sandwiches... decisions decisions)

Whats wrong with a bit of man love between friends??

Actually.. I dont think term "homo" with thrill the gay community... there goes another demographic not going...

Gosh you guys never fail to make me laugh!! If you think SuperClub "tags" into an already big weekend, because some small hard dance event is on you are seriously deluded. The dates they choose have nothing to do with this. Plus it's a completely different target audience as Rach said. Check out the pics http://www.biggie.co.nz/gallery.aspx?eid=271&cid=2 no one here would step foot in a hard dance event so I don't see what the fuss is. Superclub sells out and pulls over 1500 people each time because it's an awesome party and has great line ups.



Exactly Xplicit have nothing to worry about, you'll all be there...will be a great night!

what do people look like that go to hard dance events?

My god people!!!!

I agree with what J* has to say to be honest.

I went to the last Super Club and 95% of the crowd you'd NEVER see at a hard dance gig.

Hard Dance is a niche market with niche crowds, has been for at least 4-5 years now. If you think it can ever be anything different again you're kidding yourself.

You may see 10-15 people at Super Club that may have chosen to go instead of X-Plicit, but if that worrying you then maybe you've got bigger things to worry about.

I doubt the X-Plicit boys are sitting round panicking that there party is going to be dead due to Super Club, they know their demographic.

The reason people seem to think there's some kind of promoter war going on is moreso due to the conspiracy theories thrown round by the likes of people in this thread.

/rant

Haha also if it was such a big deal to the Xplicit guys do you really think one of them would be playing at it!

Love that I can always get a good laugh from you guys on Biggie...

Need you really ask that?

I still wish Chaomain was playing

Hmm, i may have quoted after superj's comment, but i was more thinking of once again a big weekend at Sandwiches (6th birthday) which i'll be going to, nothing to do with HD, but would have otherwise gone to Xplicit, and then 3rd choice for me would have been superclub.

Given Spectrasoul *will cross over* into the same genre(s) and audience you target, some punters on a budget (read: students) will have to choose one or the other.

Superclub sells out (sic) - no argument there, but are you doing this to make a quick buck, or are you trying to build a healthy music scene that international acts want to come to?

You're achieving the former - no argument there, but imho at the cost to the latter, and you could do both if you understood the conecpts of affluence and abundance a little better.

my 2c, its all mom gave me to spend that weekend.

oh, and looking at the last few events pics, yeah - there's quite a few there who (i know personally) would frequent the other gigs on that weekend, but as students probably won't . . . .

well yeh, I havent been to a hard dance gig before (unless you count Illuminate)... drum and bass is full of boys and, being the red-blooded randy single male I am, I'm curious to know what the ratio is like, at these "hard dance" gigs...
sounds like I'd be wasting my time tho yeah?

God no - Hard dance parties = hot girls in fluoro bikinis on their first pill

Weighed against that, there's the jaded old bastards like myself who first got into hard house back when it was really popular, and now just stick around because it's still the only sort of dance music that really, truly appeals to us

You and me both... lol....

woh I didn't expect to see these comments on this thread!!!
I agree with parts of what a few of you have said - from our standpoint (X-plicit), this really shouldn't effect us too much, especially as there doesn't look like there'll be any hard-dance at this SuperClub, and as we are down at StudioNine the following night, we really are only appealing to our niche market, which is just fine.
I think in the past there has been cause for a little concern when nights have clashed (example when Crank was on the same night as a SuperClub a little while ago), and it would be good to have better communication between the groups to ensure it doesn't happen again (as it ain't good for anyone)...which we will work on
as for Spectrasoul on the same night, it is a bit of a shame, but the two parties will be very different with Spectrasoul attracting the d+b enthusiasts, and this SuperClub focussing more on the hip-hop artists (but we'll try to rock it in the D+B room too!!)
Basically it's just a big weekend in the city, so get your party shoes on!!!!
Oh and Ray - you should come and have a look at X-P mate, I'm sure you can find yourself a nice little Mrs Shaw there!!!! (you've met my girlfriend aye?)

heh yeh maybe i will! ill bring my neon gloves and psychedelic fitted t-shirts from my trance days in Htown in the 90's

or maybe just a hoody, headphones and a scowl?
not sure what works... youre gonna have to help me out cuz

there's also the warehouse rave on the 22nd

Zigzactly.

Some things never change! Why is it only the hard dancers that are so paranoid about people not turning up to the rave...

This superclub is clearly heavy on the hip hop, and Spectrasoul well that makes the decision easy...

Browse the galleries of Crank / Xplicit / Twisted, you'll get a slice of the Wgtn scene. Not everyone's cup 'o' tea, but i find the crowd and the tunes right on, no staggering drunk munters for one . . . .

Probably something to do with the fact sweet f all people are showing up even on a night without "competition"
Maybe the hard dancers should pop along a learn a thing or two about how to put on a successful party?

Assume you weren't at the last Crank then?

and if you re-read my posts (i'm making an assumption here) you'll perhaps figure out whaty i'm trying to say . . . count the gigs I'b be at if they didn't clash, list the genre's, join the dots.

if you've nearly missed me, you've cearly missed my point . . . .

btw - i'm not a "hard dancer" - i prefer house, prog tech, techno, some breakbeats, uplifting trance, hard trance done right, and some decent drum n bass where the crowd aren't a bunch of drunken munters.

I go to the HD/HH gigs because i like the people and the scene more than the music once it hits HH, perhaps you should come to a HH gig and get to know the peeps that are there?

my 2c - its all mom gave me to spend that weekend.

LOL clearly you don't know who you are talking to buddy...

Looks to me like some ppl just need to get outta Wellington and see there's more to life than some tiny lil 100 person max per gig dance scene.

Meh, I don't care how big the gig is. I just care if the vibe and the music are good.

On that note, I'd probably have more fun at a party with 10 mates in my own living room than Super Club, but horses for courses

LOL J* Yes you are sooo superior to us all, you moved to Sydney, wow

Why don't you just stay over there then, you obviously fit in better ova there

funny thread
epic gig

I have...lived in London for over 9 years and to be honest some of the parties in Welly are equally as good as those in the UK and more often than not (imho) they're a shit load better!!! That's why I came back!!!

Yeah.. gotta say brisbanes not really doing it for me in that respect either..
I mean, the gigs are still packed, but thats mostly coz they're at places like family and the met, which get packed out every weekend regardless..

Like you and D-Rail, Jess?

oh you funny. Yeah - i know who you are - you can't help but chime at least once every forum to tell everyone.

Do you know who i am? I somehow doubt it . . .

If you did you'd know i get "outta wellington" (sic) more often than not, so i do know what happens in other cities / countries, and enjoy each on their own merits.

Big does not always mean better, and 1500 munted drunks is not imho the sign of a "great party" - if i wanted that i'd go to a rugby game in Hamilton.

and BTW - you've still missed the entire piojnt of everything i've said, but i guess the mighty J* promoter doesn't need the opinion of a joe punter like me . . .

the more gigs the better IMO, if it means more people out and about its only a good thing for the scene at large. if you have a quality well marketed product then you should be confident of pulling a decent crowd each and every time. most of these gigs cater for different crowds and its also first weekend of uni holidays so should be enough people to go around for everything.

Best Flipside thread in ages, IMO

At least we can agree on something for once xoxoxoxox

Not me!!! I meant Kenzie!!! You clearly don't know who Kenzie is

and I havent missed the point, I just don't agree with it. Wellington lacks varity, I like going out and going to several different places in one night. I like to go see who I wanna see then move on...but that just me. Hence why I live in Sydney, lots of varity and will never move back to Wellington. I like to visit and thats it.

Dragon - Brissie totally sucks, they get the good gigs but the crowds are absolute spastics...I dont enjoy going out in Brissie at all.

WOW!!!


though a it of a giggle....haha head in sand

sorry but i really needed to get on here to LAUGH my asss of at Kenzie and J*'s comments. How long have you to been out of Wellington for now?? i know you have been away for very long time Kenzie. And yet you both seem to think you know what the hard dance scene is like over here at the mo looks like you two know jack SHIT.

X-plicit have nothing to worry about and its the same for superclub. PLUS they are not even on the same night so get over it. like what ddogBF said the more gigs the better (good thing for the scene at large) as long as 2 of the same Genres don't go head to head on the same night.

there's my 1c wasn't going to do it but i did, it was to funny to not say anything.

hope to see some of you at both and on the dance floor!

Sorry mate but none of the photosets I've seen are very convincing.

lol yeah I know what you mean there.
my ex got the shit beaten out of her by another girl in the toilets of one club at a gig. wtf aye!
All the big gigs like Godskitchen and Armin are packed, but yeah the punters are spastics like you say.
Even the smaller gigs, everyone kinda just stands around and eyes each other up.
Kinda like a school dance.

Me and lubo were the only ones dancing when Ben Stevens came to town!

Never judge a book by its cover Kenzie. Going by my figers form the last 3 Cranks and attending the last X-plicit the dance scene is doing a lot better thay you may think and it could have somthing to do with you not being here!!

As compared to . . . . ?

I wasn't going to be so blunt, but yeah, recalling the last Twisted i saw him at, and then the last two i shot, and the last 2 Cranks i shot, the scene does seem to have been growing somewhat the last 2-3 years.

But J* is so right, i don't know who i'm talking to, so i wouldn't be so bold as to make any connection here . . . .

Yeah i've heard of him, even heard him once or twice if memory serves.



Hmm, imho any weekend that has six gigs i'd consider going to doesn't lack variety. My weekend in order of interest . . . .
Friday - Spectrasoul / SuperClub
Saturday - Monkey Biz / Xplicit / FCSS / Wharehouse Rave (pure curiousity as to who's running it - and no it's not JH fyi)

note two of those gigs are circuits, both of which i've not made it to yet as there's always somethibg else on i'd rather be at. 4 Superclubs and about 7 FCSS's later i can't see how that scene could be lacking variety.



Hmm, can i ask a seemingly stupid question, why do you go out? I go to hear high quality music in the company of high quality friends, so i'll stick with a gig as long as the tunes and their crowd match. Bar hopping seems to me to be "being scene out" (sic) rather than "being out in the scene"

Me personally - i like to got out to a gig that has *some* DJ's i want to see, and some i've not heard before, but am willing to listen to, call it expanding my horizons. Made many friends this way and many contacts in my field of work.

was gonna say the same thing, but I'm far too polite...

Even though I didn't go, let's not forget Illuminate, which was by many accounts the most successful dance event of the past couple of years, in terms of attendance. Now if only I could think of a decent gimmick to attract the punters...

rerail

can you get me a pass stu bro? not gonna bother otherwise...

It was a sweet party, you just need a really good website to promote it, they did a lot of work to promote it too.

promotion is key!
which im sure is all these guys are just trying to do, and anyone else on this site.

now we all have our views on promoting gigs on the same night, but.. regardless.
I'm sure (as its been said a every other time this has happened) the punters will go to the party they choose, sometimes both, some will go for the music, some will go coz they heard about previous ones, some will go to the party of their choice because its their own little niche getaway in a world of bullshit and more bullshit. some will go just coz they want to get wasted and look at girls..

whatever the reason people choose to go to the gigs is there own choice (and lets not forget its them that keeps the rest of us going, DJs and Promoters and sound guys and all the other behind the scenes stuff)
The best we can hope for is to put our heart and soul into putting our own gigs, playing at them and having a good time ourselves instead of running each others down. Money aside, it shouldnt matter to a DJ if there's 10 people or 10,000 he or she is playing to.

Hell, if some of us even worked together i'm sure we could come up with some killer parties!
I've been to Superclubs, Cranks, Xplicits, DnB gigs, as i'm sure most of you have and they were all awesome in their own right, with their own group of followers.

So go out this weekend, or any weekend, choose which party or parties you go to, enjoy yourself, just purely do that. Have a good time because Wellington, whether the scene in any genre is growing or dwindling, is too bloody small for this kindergarten bickering amongst ourselves.

Now i'm not sure if that ramble made sense to you.. but it kinda did to me.
Thats my 2c. I'm ron burgundy, stay classy.. planet earth.

I guess thats the point i was trying to make.

Maybe i was being too obtuse . . .

Lookin forward to this one. The last one was quite good. The massif turnout last time really helped. And i thought having the four different zones really paid off. It is rather hip hop based but thats ok cause that helped fill out the club.It was good to see a wellington dance event that busy. yeah it prob isnt looked apon as a typical welly dance party like fevah or twisted. due to the massif hip hop crowd. but times have changed and we as partiers may need to adapt to this.

the d&b room last time rocked and i spent most of my night there. quality tunes were being droppped.

Bring on Fri Super Club i say, im lookin forward to hearing jarry the maori in the main room..

That was more like 5c, tbf

Haha, nah.. that was my discount mate rates viewpoint.

When you see a thread , with so much , heart on your sleeve shit , it must mean there is more life coming back to the wellington seen.

I remember in the Early days of Fevah , Wellington was most djs in the worlds favorite place to play!!!

No one can deny that the last couple of years have been hard on the scene here , but from here on in , it looks
like the vibrancy is on its way back ,

the more parties there are , the more people will go out .

competition is good , it keeps people on their toes, and brings out the best in promoters. and clubbers alike .

Variety is the spice of life ,

I wish best of luck to all .

I was supposed to be out this weekend,

But my 3rd baby is due to be born 2moro 10 days over due , now , so has no choice !!!!!


I look forward to reading and hearing reports next week ,

Might have to plan a party soon by the sounds of it!!!!!!!


Never loose your hard core!!!!!!!
