MISSION

I am a New Yorker who by a universal mistake was born in Russia and had to cross continent and then traverse US
to finally find a city with a heartbeat that matched mine.
No other city embraced me. In Moscow I was too outspoken, in Miami too fast, in Chicago too daring.
New York City gave me life.
Its heart and spirit will be forever young as its blood is
always renewed with fresh talent. Dreamers and critics, romantics and seekers, performers and transformers from all over the world strive to make a mark in NYC. Creative renewal is in the air we breathe and every generation of New Yorkers has its own art, nightlife, and social scenes that evolve continuously. Keeping up with all events that are shaping this city is a challenge, but I will try to bring you the fascinating, the beautiful and the outrageous in New York City nightlife with an emphasis on underground electronic music scene which happens to be my favorite fantasy land.
Expect the unexpected

Mini What?

I would call this party a mini disaster if it wasn't for Sety. Sety is a phenomenal DJ and producer and Minimoo is getting points only because they got Sety to DJ. New Yorkers are a discriminatory bunch especially if we are going to pay $30 to get in the door. Loft space on Howard street at the Die Fabrik building is beautiful, don't get me wrong, but the fact that you have to take an elevator upstairs increases wait time at the door and we don't like to wait long.
Getting drinks was lengthy as well since you first had to wait in line to get casino like minimoo drink chips, then go to the bar and wait in another line to get your choice of Budweiser, Water, Red Bull or Vodka. Lovely choices I might add; did you hear by chance that Corona is a beer of choice for party people everywhere? No? Really?
Girl's bathroom was closed within an hour of my arrival. Get this: there are 2 stalls in girl's bathroom and both were clogged at the same time because someone dropped a roll of toilet paper into each toilet. Who would do something like that? 2 girls on crack? I don't know...but it says something about the crowd that this party draws. For the next hour girls had to use the single stall at boys bathroom, imagine the line and the madness...
Let's get to the good stuff: music! Sety was exceptional...Consistent, deep, progressive house with electro top notes, he put us in the mood for dance. One little problem though...buzzy, hollow sound system that could not fill the space and even on the dance floor the sound was dirt poor.
So let's round this up: 30 dollars to get in, wait downstairs, wait at the cash register for the bar, wait at the bar, wait at the bathroom, terrible sound, and great DJ. 3 Stars and only because of Sety.
Minimoo organisers please take note, your party needs a major improvement otherwise you will lose your crowd if you haven't already. If you want us to forgive you for horrors of Minitek please work on your next venue with these suggestions in mind. Thank you for Sety though, the man is a genius!
