The events where DJs like Lee Foss, Jamie Jones etc etc play "sell out" in record time, but generally by people who dont give a shit about the music and just go to put on their sandiest chinos, boatiest boat shoes and most denimy denim shirts and take as much ket & coke as they can and stay up for the longest time possible and go to the most after parties possible, and then brag about it on facebook with instagram photos. This may generally be a LDN thing, but I guess it must be similar all over.
I agree to some extent that they bring that type of crowd, but on the other hand they are loved on Resident Advisor and are at the top of many of their polls, so clearly people do care about the music and understand the genre to some extent, visionquest has released some awesome stuff to
In the same way people look at the pop charts and see David Guetta etc and think thats house music. These people just see ''underground'' music as that bit cooler/more hip and use the RA charts rather than the pop charts to gage who they will follow.
EDIT:- Obviously im not talking 100% of the people that attend.....but defo a large portion.
i don't know, i reckon quite a lot of the punters that go are actually into the music. i think it'd be quite ignorant to say they're just there to get off their faces - i go clubbing to take drugs and dance. i might dress differently to what they are wearing but doesn't mean they're any less into the music. you could go as far as saying 'oh he doesn't like dubstep, he's not wearing a new era or a massive g'd up parka coat with some nike 6.0s'
i've seen whole clubs ERUPT before when a track or a snippet of a vocal gets teased and there was your generic chino b2b massive-vest-look-at-my-pecks and tangerine girls all over the shop.
i admit there's a lot of 'party-goers' and not generally going for the music but it's a lot less than you think, i assure you.
Maybe its slightly different in London then. There are certain events, like Creche for example, where the majority of the punters are there to 'be seen' rather than for the music. I know a couple of guys who sell tickets for these events who spend more time in the gym than on the decks. Fair play they do enjoy the music, but the people they are selling tickets to are total orange numptys. Maybe I was over generalising earlier. There are probably only a handful of night where this actually happens, its just that I know quite of a few of the guys DJing/Promoting these events.
I went to see Laidback Luke a couple of years ago at Matter, Id been to Matter 3 or 4 times before and never saw any trouble, and these were d&b/dubstep events. The Laidback Luke night was full of Tiger Tiger stnuc in shirts and shoes, saw about 4 fights and somebody also lobbed a bottle off the balcony onto the dancefloor and hit my mate in the face, cutting him open. I guess if I actually went to a few different nights I wouldnt have the same opinion on it. Or I just need to know less people who wear Sandy Chinos.

im sorry but ur an idiot trying to compare some loser like laidback luke to people like jamie jones and seth troxler
around here its seems like they go to the nights because there popular more than cos of the bookings, probably only small amount there cos of who they've booked.

Seems logical. My mates and i have been getting pretty heavily into Deeper house/techno over the past year or so and we are all 20-21.
definitely agree with this & i'm 20.
more into stuff like move d & nebraska atm myself so probs more on the disco side of things, still though.

Still some good calls here and there. As others have said, the Hot Creations stuff borders on tech. I suppose minimal and tech have been the in thing (house music wise) for the past decade.
(This guys whole channel is packed full of decent deep house)
Gone off the whole hot creations, crosstown rebels sound, a bit too clean and boring after a while...I would call alot of the stuff posted in this thread tech house, still some good deep house bits though..
