triphop, old-school goth-rock, IDM, noise, power-tronics, etc....

[j eric townsend]

Even in the SF bay area it was hard to keep any sort of downtempo/IDM club packed.  I think it worked really well in chill rooms or spaces that were set up for some other event or purpose like cafes, social clubs, etc.  

I don't know if I'd go to a club just to hear IDM and blip hop, but if I were going out with friends for drinks I'd pick a bar that  had a DJ spinning this sort of music over one with a jukebox.

The other week I had dinner at Brillobox, it seems like the perfect place for this sort of thing. 


>First of all, I just want to say that I'm including the rest of this  digest in my reply for archival purposes. (You'll know what I'm talking  about in a sec... Apologies for the long post.)  Don't you all  find it interesting that the music folks are saying they want to hear  is stuff that DOESN'T PACK THE DANCEFLOOR?  This is just more  fodder for my arsenist tendency to burn down the dancefloor and rebuild  it as an IDM lounge.  And of course, if folks knew these styles  were going to be addressed, maybe they'd actually show up?   (Contrary to most djs opinions, there's more potential for G/I clubs  than simply restricting it all to dance-music.)

>  Night Shift should definitely think about doing more downtempo stuff  the first hour while folks arrive and get their drink on.... Hell,  maybe even kick down the tempo at 1:40 and keep the music churning  until 2:20 with more oddball stuff.  (Think of it as a way to  POLITELY remind folks that it's time to leave without completely  ruining the mood.)
