Thu Jan 23 13:18:56 PST 2003

anyone that goes to NYC cannot leave without going to body & soul on 
sundays..... that is where the house vibe is the thickest.... i have been there 
as early as 4pm and the dance floor is packed.....

it's at the shelter (or used to be called the shelter)...... back in the early 
90s it was one of the first "rave" clubs ever.....called NASA.....ahhh, the 
good ol'days.....

Quoting Emily Sinclair <sinclairemily at hotmail.com>:

> I believe the club you're referring to is called "Estate" now. It used

> club Limelight. A little more than a year ago it shut down because of
> a
> major drug bust and all sorts of money problems. It was one of the
> original
> clubs to have "foam parties." I was there back in 95 and it was kinda
> scary,
> honestly. I personally think the decor there is better than the music.
> It's
> very flash, with not much house substance, imho.

> I can say that when I was in NY just recently I found that house was
> around,
> just not the kind of house I like. Club Spa is an snooty club that I
> went to
> and they were playing a lot of progressive house and tribal shit, with
> an R
> & B room as well. Then I went to another club (which the name escapes me
> as
> I was pretty damn tipsy off my $14 vodka redbull-I shit you not.) and
> they
> played more tribal/trancy house, but they had 4 live musicians there:
> A
> saxophonist standing on top of the bar, and three conga players! That
> was
> cool. But it was more of a lounge, there wasn't any real dance floor.
> 
> The China Club is where we held our auditions out there. It used to be
> the
> shit, but now it's just shit (music & vibe wise.)
> 
> What was depressing is that club Arc (formerly Vinyl) was closed when I
> was
> there. I wanted to get an extra helping of Franscois K!
> 
> I'm by no means saying I'm an authority on the NY house scene, I just
> know
> that when I was there it seemed to be a lot more about flash, than vibe
> and
> everything that goes with that. I prefer LA's options, personally. =)
