Re: The Best sound system of all time.

Keeping the Twilo fever .......




I found an interesting article in
The New York Times in 1999.

One of the 4 legendary stacks. Thanks for the interesting read.

David Mancuso's loft? Would have loved to have been around for those parties. In uk we have the ministry of sound who like to boast about their system but fuck, what a vibeless shitty club

Re: The Best sound system of all time.

I'd have to agree. The bass would thump so hard and clear that it would shake your insides.

The memories this brings. I remember walking into Twilo for the first time ever, August 28th, 2000. I was in the lounge area looking at the lights going insane on the dancefloor and the bass just tearing the floor under my feet. I decided to walk in and inadvertently ended up below one of the speakers suspended from the ceiling. My heartbeat went haywire and I had to fight to catch my breath for a few seconds. It's incredible what those thumping low frequencies can do to you.

And the rest as they say, is history.

Sounds awesome Kamal. I think Twilo will always win this + as the club's now closed it goes down in history and can't be compared to anything that's now out there, as no-one can hit the two clubs. Diggers always talks about the tuning and lack of fatigue on ears, even though the system was fully cranked up.

From the clubs I've been to fabric is perfect : details here - http://www.martin-audio.com/edge/pdf..._theedge_4.pdf (Martin Audio also do MOS in London - pic below).

Space in ibiza is great (Funktion One).

Tox Club (underneath destino in ibiza) is excellent (also Martin Audio) : the monitors in the Dj booth were crystal clear and Diggers took full advantage with a stupendous dark brooding twisted set.

" The first step is to analyze the room. While conductors have been known to walk around a room clapping to measure reverberation, Mr. Dash sets off an electronic device called a bomb, which produces and then measures an array of sounds. That data, along with detailed information about the room's surfaces, is plugged into a program that produces a color scheme of the room's acoustical values."

I really hope that most of the high profile clubs are calibrated with such precision, but... i really doubt it

Re: The Best sound system of all time.

hands down its TWILO.....

there are just certain songs that were made for that room. Hearing em anywhere but TWILO didn't sound right

Re: The Best sound system of all time.

^ i was just reading about that on the wiki page

"As Breeder we tried to create peak-time progressive house floor-fillers, and our aim was to make them rock and be good enough so that Sasha and Digweed would play them. The first tunes we wrote were 'The Chain' and 'Twilo Thunder', we gave them directly to Sasha and John Digweed and for over a year, they played them around the world at clubs such as Twilo in New York and Tyrant in London"

Also.. it never occurred to that the acoustics of a room are very different when its empty and when its in fact full of people..

Yep.

without a doubt, steve was a genius doing his job,
with all the patience and dedication to do something
beautiful and perfect. we need people like this in this moments,
but now, some people thinks more about the business.

Re: The Best sound system of all time.

Thanks to Phazon, Twilo had the clearest, crispiest, balanced, most fluid sounding system I've ever heard. I remember reading somewhere they hired the one of best sound engineers to CAD map the whole setup. A close second place is Output in Brooklyn. In 3rd, just next door from old Twilo was the late underrated Crobar.

Re: The Best sound system of all time.

I would assume it's being done now in Vegas on a near perfect level, what with the amount of money being made each night at an all time high. Yes, no?

Re: The Best sound system of all time.

All this talk of Twilo made me want that bass line. So may as well...

Re: The Best sound system of all time.

Get's pretty weird at the end of this video.

Re: The Best sound system of all time.

you are all reminding of the fact that i really missed something special...

Stereo in Montreal was done by this guy: SBS- Systems by Shorty

without a doubt, steve was a genius doing his job,

It sounds like it..

too bad they had to close the club : ( They should've kept it as a showcase of how a club should sound.. make into a sound museum or something lol

I would assume it's being done now in Vegas on a near perfect level, what with the amount of money being made each night at an all time high. Yes, no?

I am sure that at least one of the clubs there has a decent system... i've been to Lavo, XS, and Marquee and i can tell you that it ain't one of them

A close second place is Output in Brooklyn.

Its an F1 right ? So when you buy from them do they provide the tuning, etc. or is it up the club ?

Also i think Output is a great name for a club..

One of the 4 legendary stacks.

There was 4 of those monsters ?
