Marc's Public Blog - Clubbing and Trance

Ok, so I like Techno, more specifically Trance. Unfortunately, the US, it's let's just say... a bit behind in that department. If you ever hear such music on the radio, or even in the street, let me know (for instance, in Australia, I heard great Techno in even a waterslide park of all places).
Anyway, at least, with San Francisco nearby, I've had some opportunities to see some great DJs, even if at least at 1015, I've often been disappointed by what they played compared to their usual sets (it's been better overall at Ruby Skye in the recent years).

Over time, I've seen many of my favorite DJs across the world, whether it was locally, in New York City, Canada, Australia, and of course Ibiza, and at Halloween 2004, I finally attended some great local parties that proved that you could get the good stuff locally too (even if all the artists came from other countries .
That said, I ended up finding out that some of my favourite DJs who put out great CDs and mixes, unfortunately mixed mostly boring tunes when I saw them live. That was quite a disappointment, but I have been hanging on for the few times where some DJs did actually play great live sets). It's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it

2006/09/23 Second Annual LoveFest Parade (formerly LoveParade)

π 2006-09-23 20:07 by Merlin in Clubbing

While I attended the original LoveParade in San Francisco, I ended up missing the LoveFest last year, as I was in a transcontinental plane at the time, so it was nice to be able to see what the event had turned into this year.

The path that went through Market Street was very nice and central, and the floats represented a good sample of the different kinds of electronic music you can get nowadays.
The final resting location at the Civic Center Plaza allowed for the floats to get a good resting place around park, and blast their different kinds of music around the street, for party-ers to sample and enjoy. The Burning Man enthusiasts will also have recognized some of the floats out of BM, like Opel/Zool, and the Space Cowboys.
If you'd like more, you can go look at the pictures and videos of the Second Annual LoveFest Parade

That DJ booth was right out of Burning Man
