Arts Who Wants to Buy a Massive Dance Club?

Posted by on March 2 at 9:43 AM

For a figure much less than what it would cost you to purchase Spin, you—yes, you—can own “Seattle’s Hot Spot.ā€¯ Just go here and cut a check for $850,000; BOOM, you’re now an entrepreneur.

The ad coyly doesn’t mention which club is up for sale, but the photos indicate it’s the venue The Stranger featured here about 18 months ago. Maybe this signals the death knell of trance and progressive house. Roll over, Paul Oakenfold, and tell DJ Tiesto the news.

All the links worked for me. But I'll tell the web editor about this.

Doesn't this place change ownership like, every eight months or so? Seems like it's had at least a half dozen different incarnations just since EMP went up across the street.

Hey, we still have Trinity and the Last Supper Club.

I don't know why you hate trance so much. It's cheezy music, but if there wasn't trance, there would be something equally cheezy to take its place.

Trance is BLAND and cheesy. And boring DJs get filthy rich spinning it. And I've had to endure way too many bloated double CDs of the stuff in the line of work to be sanguine about it.

Just curious... does your trance antipathy extend to Astral Projection, Hallucinogen, Hardfloor, Oliver Lieb, etc. or is it just the progressive/anthem stuff you hate?

Those artists you cite are really old-school trance--some early-90s Harthouse shit, right? I can respect that. I'm talking about the newer progressive stuff played by all the really popular, overpaid DJs constantly making the circuit (basically, Element's schedule since it opened).
