Simons - Gainesville, FL ('circa '93-'96)
Think Fabric with no closing time! Same sort of set-up...multiple rooms, playing everything from house, progressive, techno, dnb, trance, etc. With acid jazz being played on the rooftop.
This was the type of club in which a family atmosphere exuded. A club where you would always leave with more friends than you came there with. A venue that would bring out the very best in each dj. In addition, being owned by a dj/music lover who's not out just to make $$$ but actually cares about the music & the people that frequents his venue is nothing short of special.
Basically, a no bullsh#t club, very dark, seedy, cavernous....ALL SOUND!
your favorite club ever ?!?

Speaking of which - it's still vacation time for Arena right? Do you know when it will reopen?Der geile Ami wrote:I might be nostalgic, because the club was the first for me in so many different ways, but twilo in nyc. First proper club, first pill, first kiss, first club job, etc, but the design of hte club, sound system, lights, and crowd was quite often simply amazing. Most large clubs experiences have suffered in the vibe dept for me, but there were quite some memorable night, and that palce closed over 6 years ago. Of course, the vibe and music was also quite often horrible, but the physical space was perfect.
Also up there was the beatstreet location on hasenheide in berlin. It was only every other sunday for less than 6 months, but still amazing for what we pulled off.
I have worked for a lot of clubs and promoters, and these stood above everything else. Admittedly, I am completely biased, but I think Arena Club can develop to such legendary status.
