Solomon1 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 The underground end of the house/techno spectrum. every friday and saturday night at lion's lair (3am till 6am) - electro, house, dance, some techno its a gay bar - but loads of straight folk go, so don't let that put you off! its a default destination for me if there's nowt else on..... plug, dq, fez, penelopes, generally have something good on between them otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think on the whole the underground scene is fairly sparse in Sheffield but is probably more healthy for the more mainstream genres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossian Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Generally the people in these threads that go on about the "scene" in Sheffield not being good are the ones that like minimal house / techno / deep house. But there is just not a demand for these genres. If you're into d&b, dubstep, electro etc there's loads of great nights like Tuesday Club, Club Pony etc which are all well attended, but they never get mentioned in these threads. I wouldnt call any of these nights particularly mainstream but they are doing very well. I guess a healthy scene is a varied one and Sheffield isn't as varied as some other cities mainly because the demand for certain styles of music just is not there.

discodown Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I think the big problems are that there is a lack of venues and that there isn't a big defining sheffield night anymore. (thats not strictly true actually, Club Vibe is now the only night representing sheffield nationally that people will travel to sheffield for) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, thats exactly what I mean, I was talking about the scene in context of this particular thread. Should probably have clarified that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamC1979 Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 I just find it a shame when the people who complain about a lack of scene hadly ever show up to nights that play the music they are supposed to like and groan about lack of. How is a 'scene' supposed to build if the people who want it don't turn up. Same old story really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, it is not aimed at any specific person, it's just a generalised thing that has happened for years in every scene. Hope that clarifies.

Yeah, no worries at all, I know what you mean to be fair. It was posted right after my post so I thought you might have been talking to me.
