You can argue with me all you want about Pacha being bigger and better than Sullivan Room. You can even compare their respective October lineups to make your point. You can offer me free entrance for a year and I will not set my foot in Pacha. Why go to a crack den with unreliable sound system when you can get knocked out of your socks every Saturday at Sully? All while being treated like a gem...
As I walked in this past Saturday the energy reminded me so much of Twilo I had to pinch myself. The crowd was madly in tune with the DJ and Sullivan Room itself felt alive.
Hector Romero was in the middle of a perfect NYC underground house style set blending energy, base drive and vocals into a potent vortex no one escaped that night. Continuous movement around the room filled with fun, polite, mixed crowd that did not display any overt signs of drug use. That says a lot about a place considering the recent reports of blatant off the table powder snorting at every single high end venue and Pacha being one gigantic K-hole. As good and consistent set Satoshi played it was nowhere near driving force of Romero. Hector stole the show proving that NYC underground house style is alive and untouchable. Now I just wish electro would die so we could all breathe a collective "sigh" of relief and get down and dirty ;)
