Tokyo is one of the richest places in the galaxy anyway, btw. <BR/>All this only means the scene will be forced to go underground again - which is not the saddest thing in the world according to your article;-). <BR/>If techno/ house/ electro, or whatever you want to call it, can't find a club that displays its splendours anymore, than its just straightout dead. Like punk. Full stop. And then we'll all be old farts...<BR/><BR/>Here in Berlin, the times have changed dramatically as well. There may be spaces like the phantastic Panorambar or the outspaced Bar 25 (threatened by a rather forced close down btw). But most of the interesting small fringe parties are gone. The authorities have taken most of them out, and are pretty well informed what's going on in the scene. I've seen it myself while DJing here, it's like an interruptus, the crowd is just about to get off, and suddenly there is this square police guy in front of you, telling you to stop your set... well, I'm sure this would be much worse of an experience in Beijing;-).<BR/>But ok, Berlin still is the world headquarters of electronic music for sure. Maybe they'd like to re-stage Yellow over here?_)<BR/><BR/>Cheers, Zuckermann via www.stalking-gogo-girls.netAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220957931635097123.post-17664713912520818982008-02-08T12:10:00.000+11:002008-02-08T12:10:00.000+11:00Hmm, I'd like to believe it, but I'll believe it w...Hmm, I'd like to believe it, but I'll believe it when it happens... ...anyway, this is all rampant speculation (on my part not least of all) so we'll have to leave it with a shrug and a question mark...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220957931635097123.post-76140900619971826102008-02-07T15:24:00.000+11:002008-02-07T15:24:00.000+11:00Hold your horses everyone.

Could there be a solid business reason behind all this. Could it be they are just moving cause they found a better location that doesn't have pillars in the middle of the dance floor. According to the Yellow bulletin board, the rumour is they could be moving to the old Liquid Room. With every one has been lamenting the Liquid Rooms demise as a sign of one of the four horses of techno apocalypse - if Yellow were to move there wouldn't that be that mean we are back for a techno renaissance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
