promise land could do with a decent dj who can mix for a start consistently.good night still fucking spoilt by the outbreaks of fights and no bouncers to control this properly.miles to behind all night.I saw 4 fights 2 in 2 out fucking that is not old skool

here here about the mixing. My boyfriend went outside for a fag and they would,t let him back in, just because it had gone 3 what kind of shit is that.

maybe they were trying to cool the dancers down??

2 right the security where all over the gaff and fucked up all night.they are supposed to b there to make your night the better not worse dick heads

promise land was a quality night the last few times it's been attracting the wrong crowd the last time there was a load of pricks trying to rob people plus the security there has always been shit
it's not anything like the old days it's a shame most of the people there r wicked

i must admit there were a few kids there last nite all of em on one thing or another or couldnt handle there drink,ive been goin to koko for yearsand me an sue have got quite freindly with 4 or 5 of the door staff and believe me they have so much shit to sort out,which is why they shut the doors after 2am cos the majority of fights start about that time,i was accully outside where a bloke and bird were waitin for a fella to come out,he did and walked on to a right hander,the police were outside and in the cluyb they come out and did nothin just told em to go seperate ways,it was blattent assualt and all the time the womens shoutin at the police that shes comin back to shoot up the club(so at the end of the day dont blame the doormen thy do their jobs the best they can)apart from the minority of cocks tryin to spoil it 4 the majority of us ravers we didnt let it and what a night we had a,the photos are up on here and on sassy snaps on facebook.
big up to phil ram huck ped and mad all not forgettin the wicked wicked dj mr t(still cant believe u listen to my show mate,top stuff) the mixin wasnt the problem as many of u herd.........how many times did mrt philgood and huck tel thesound engineers to sort it out,some of the djs have been on the scene for more years than uve been alive,many i no personally and do there jobs with passion,to makethe night enjoyable for us the PAYIN raver....u no what promised land is about if u dont like the djs or mixin or whatever dont come>but the rest of who no what a special nite it is see u at the next one

i thought the quality of mixing was fine apart from maybe just one or two specific mixes, including one time i think someone bumped into the decks. it was too choppy at times though, the odd bit of cutting / teasing the next tune is great but sometimes 'less is more'.

tune selection was excellent as always although i could do without the usual section of (mostly obvious overplayed) '92 hardcore anthems - i guess it helps give overall structure with a peak in energy in the middle of the night but it's supposed to be a house event. Top Selector on the night goes to Ped, B-side mix of Total Confusion always gets me misting up.

i see the trainer ban didn't prevent the outbreaks of trouble. hopefully the venue will revert the dresscode policy ...or more probably drop clubnights altogether to focus on gigs.

i usually dance towards the back of the dancefloor and am quite used to getting splashed from above, intentionally or otherwise. it's always best to dance under the balcony rather than in front of it!

i don't smoke myself but i did notice on the way out that there's a sign saying that there's no smoking after 3am. certainly sounds like it needs to be made clearer though plus they need to monitor indoor smoking more!

yeah andy i know what your saying mate i just found the attitude in there is getting worse as 4 the mixing herd these dj's hundreds of times and i luv em still aint herd your show yet andy herd it's quality though will try and catch the next 1

agreed

but i think they should concentrate more on peoples ages. there are always loads of kids getting in there and this should be addressed as most of the trouble is caused by the under age kids whos idea of fun is seeing who can get the most off thier faces.

good point. it's supposed to be 21+ isn't it? they were probably too busy looking at footwear to check ID!

a mate of mine (a PL regular) ended up going to another club instead cos they had an 18 y.o. in their group. didn't even try to get in at Koko but they'd probably've got away with it!

as i said in the trainer thread though, the rave scene shouldn't exclude people. i'm sure there are plenty of young ravers that don't cause trouble - and older folk that do! the (as Andy said, overworked) security team need to monitor and eject as appropriate!

yeah maybe it is the kids sue your right hun i would have thought the last thing on your mind would be starting any fights when when your out off it though

The thing is they get off it but dont understand what the vibe is all about.
The drunk head girls in front of me on the dance floor did not have a clue what the music was all about.
They had just gone "clubbing" and were clueless, then the boyfriends came along and lo and behold within a few minutes they were fighting !!!!
Maybe you could ask the young ones at the door if they know what music is on and if they dont dont let them in !!!!!

yeah but i think it's good 4 em to come and listen to what started it all see where it all came from but your right vic it's also a vibe thing

i say let's have a door quiz! doorman has a walkman with speakers and plays a line from Where Love Lives or Right Before My Eyes - if they can't sing the next line then no entry. haha!

massive difference between clubbing and raving x

never a truer word said

how about letting me ave a go at mixing??? my name is mixmastermax.
