That WTF look can sometimes be even better with strangers!!

Im not so sure bout that. When ur with ur mates u have so much shared history, especially of they are mad for the music as well. All the constant searching for tunes and sets, discussing tunes and mixes etc. And then when u have a WTF moment u all understand exactly what that look means and represents.

I still cant believe how many peeps go out on their own. I thought quite a few people might have been out once or something at most. Thats real commitment

^^ It's the music crossing all boundaries thing. It's not commitment, I love it!! But hey, whatever works for you!!

It's actually incredibly liberating. Try it sometime.

i agree, plus i typically know a bunch of people when i get there anyway..plus sometimes at the end of the night it is a pain in the ass waiting for people to regroup to get ready to leave

Re: Going clubbing on your own

I suppose with me it started when i was 15. I was really into Bands at the time so if there was a band i wanted to see, i didn't let other people stop me from going. Where i lived you had to travel and most people didn't want to. In the late 1990's I started going to Cream at first on an organised coach trip with some mates then other times with mates in a car. But if no one wanted to go and there was some DJ i wanted to see. I would just get in the car and drive. Stick on a great set and drive. It was a 400 mile round trip and i really enjoyed the drive. I could really get into the music while driving on my own uninterrupted. Cream was really going off in them days. You could feel the excitement even in the queue before you got in there. After a few months id met plenty of people there and a girlfriend So i would travel up on a Friday after work and come drive back Monday before work. I had some of the best experiences of my life in them days. But if hadn't got off my arse and gone there i would of never had them.

A few years later i moved house and met some new friends who at first thought i was crazy because i suggested driving to Newcastle to see Deep Dish, a 600 mile round trip. Some of them came with me and where completely blown away. After that we never looked back we would travel anywhere (even went to NY to see DT) I suppose my later friend's shared that One Love Music. Some of the others it was all about drugs and getting wanker-ed. I knew which friend's i wanted to hang around with.

Re: Going clubbing on your own

Way back when, most of my friends were not into edm, a few were but they didn't always want to go out when I did. So I'd be sitting there at home knowing a great dj was spinning at a club and I'd want to burst with going out to it. There would be a battle going on in my head....just go Chanty, no you can't go alone you loser loner, fuck it..who cares?, just go and dance! So I'd chug a few beers and get my ass out there. I don't have that battle in my head anymore, not for a long time. It's a no brainer....just do it!! I would have felt way worse for missing a great night of fantastic music and dancing for my own insecurities.

Must admit I've never been out in the UK on my own, but if i want to fly abroad i'll do it - I started catching Jazz festivals/concerts and this then spilled over to DJ's. Its all aboiut the music.

Re: Going clubbing on your own

I've been to ibiza on my own because no-one else could get the time off or fancied going. It was strange at first, but you get the chance to relax, do your own thing and hear some amazing music.

If I hadn't gone I would have missed the best sets I've ever witnessed from Sasha or Digweed ... there's always other to talk to and you can go on the pull without anyone denting your style !

Last summer I visited Ibiza solo as well. I was traveling through western Europe by myself and there was no way that I was going to miss Sasha play on the island when I was already going to be in Spain.

I had such an amazing time. It really opened my eyes to how huge and awesome the scene was in Ibiza and fueled my love for house and techno music even more.

It really is all about the music for me. There are some DJ's (and music for that matter) that cannot be missed imo. For those occasions I will be going to the show no matter what, regardless of if I am with someone or not.

Re: Going clubbing on your own

I haven't been alone to many events, mainly because the town I live in rarely ever has anything good to begin with. But if someone good came around, I'd absolutely go on my own if I had to. It's not my fault that 99.9% of people around me are small-minded and incapable of comprehending these kinds of sounds.

That's why I really love events like WMC and DEMF. Because for at least once in the damn year, I'm surrounded by good music and people who can actually get it.

Yes, that is very elitist. But that's just how I feel.
