Paste and match style. He must have gone on the wrong nights. The top room is just a big room , although the sound is good. The restaurant area is great ! But as I said, a lot depends on the promoter. The Darkbeat/Sunny nights, and Zabiela was one of those , are really well done . Steve of Sunny is absolutely fanatical about the sound being right and it usually is. And he does some amazing things, with the decor sometimes although I must admit if the sound is right I don't notice much else. They do have multiple screens happening though.

Restaurant, definitely awesome!

Yeah sound is crucial, but at the end of the DJ doesn't know much about it well no matter how expensive your speakers are its a bleeding ear.

Paste and match style - gotcha....new around here.

^^^ I didn't understand that for moment. Did you think Steve was a DJ ?? He is a promoter, they bring in sound/vj guys/girls and Steve wanders around all night making sure they are doing it right

You haven't club in Melbourne yet? Come on!

Brought a Sydney colleague to party in Melbourne and he loved it! We hit Billboards for Sasha and then Brown Alley around 4am in the morning, ended up trying to get back to the hotel at 3pm from some random suburb

That was a really good night. !!! Btw they still haven't turned down the sound at Billboards!! Always the biggest complaint about any show there.

DD that was awesome, I'll have to plan another night out when I visit Melbourne.

I think on the whole Melbourne just has more and better venues than Sydney. Sydney's scene is more pub/flashy bars than clubs. (I do love the Cricketers.)

Chinese Laundry has a shit layout and is too claustrophobic. Melbourne's basement equivalent would be Billboard which is a lot more spacious, has a biggish flat dancefloor with a stage, and extends way back where the bar and seats are.

The Civic is decent but the basement sound system is no good, the ground level feels like an afterthought. The Melbourne equivalent would be the Brown Alley which is really the Colonial Hotel on Lonsdale and King. The difference being Colonial is 3 levels, the ground level has a high ceiling that extends up the 2 levels.





PS. I work in Shanghai and clubbing is even shittier here. Sydney is heaven compared to this. The only decent club is Shelter and a bar called DaDa.

No, no meant nothing of Steve, was just generally commenting on some DJ's in general who don’t know how to control the highs and lows. Not claiming myself as a second born digweed, I have no skills in this field but hate the hipsters who think heaps of bass is what draws the crowd.

I'm sure there are Djs like that in Melbourne, fortunately I don't have clue where they play

Just found out they play at Brown Alley

Sound was pretty awesome, and I have never heard such bone crushing bass in a club as I heard on Friday!
