I thought as this was the relevant page, to get a bit of banter together then i would ask?
Are "proper" clubs shit? You know one's with DJ's playing stuff other than chart stuff?
I've only been to one, and to be fair it were a bit rubbbish. Then there was 80's night at another...i loved it!! they even played Guns n roses and spandau ballet!!! cool tacky cheesy music....mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
So?

I don't really like chart stuff so I wouldn't enjoy an evening of it.
I mainly go to a rock club playing track after mindless track of rock and metal. Then occasionally something that i like. I don't enjoy it in the slightest but my friends are there, and if i didn't go then i would hardly ever see them. I've not been out for 2 months and i've not seen them once.
When i'm not there, I like to go to specific nights at certain clubs. Spellbound (a drum and bass night) is one of the best nights out in Machester. Havoc (a techno night) is good too. Not actually the techno cos I don't like it, but the music in the chill out room is amazing. There are a few others but i can't think of them right now.
I think i prefer proper DJ's to 'normal' clubs.
I was made for a better world.
however as you say, these proper DJs, well i personally am a big dance music fan and so have a very good time out clubbing when they play. That is why i'm off to my local club. the crystal rooms to watch signum play tomorrow <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif">
its not illegal til u get caught :P
The music has to be dance and it has to be underground. I've always followed an underground scene. From Hardcore to Gabba to D&B where an elite group of people come together to have fun and be a little different then the rest .

* Minor Local Clubs - play a mixture of chart stuff along with dance
* Medium Local Clubs - play dance music
* Major Dance Clubs - Large capacity which hold regular big names (ie. Gatecrasher / Home)
* Underground Clubs - Underground Dance Raves such as Helter Skelter / Slammin Vinyl
In my experience I've always found that since going to most of the major clubs and underground parties around the country that others really do pull the scene down. The smaller clubs just don't seem to put the effort in as much as they could and yes I accept that this is often down to money but there are plenty of small things they could do to help.
Many of them are run by people who don't understand the club scene, the last club I worked at was a prime example, the guy running it didn't even know his types of music... He wanted Gatecrasher and Cream style music and his opinion of that was the 1998 style of trance which doesn't always wash well, on about our 3rd night we speeded the music up to hard house going with what the crowd where requesting, he came over to us at the end congradulating us for the night and thanking us for not playing hard house and not that hard... the club was going at Sundessential level, any harder and we would of taken it underground.
As for my attitude on what clubs should be like I wrote a post talking about one of my visits to Home, London.

The only problem with major clubs like these is once you've been you never look at clubs the same again, you except more and locally you often won't get it.
Although this is sometimes the case I've foundit's not always true.

Some clubs are fun, its usually the smaller intimate ones, those huge great big uber-clubs kind of scare me.
Maybe its just me... 99% of the clubs up in NorCal are jungle or house or trance all 3 of which are crap, in my humble little opinion. Drum and bass is really good although i cant listen to it for more than 4 hours at a time.
