nekkies is not an ok venue. its bullshit. easiest option, where is the effort going. new venues are as important as new artists probably more so in our party climate in the cape. with unprecedented potential for partying outdoors what do we do? the same place again and again. the only worth while parties to be thrown at that venue was the first (origin). and possibly the bear trap cosmosis jol. every body hates that venue well at least every body i know. and thats enough important peoples in our scene to make a difference. in a country like this we have the chance to party in an abundance of different spaces. perhaps if ticket prices werent always upwards of a 100 bucks it would be more acceptable. but whilst i pay top dollar i expect top venues. nekkies is kak kak kak. you tell me why i should be happy to party there in a camping ground,littered and sprayed with broken glass, that is as open to any member of the public as it is to me!!! trance is a special danceform and should be treated so and we should be most happy to perform this art in special places! i think nekkies is a clear symbol of the apathy within the cape town trance scene. and also the general degredation of sa trance. have a nice day : )

They sure can, problem with capetonians they don't know a good thing till they no longer have it. there are very few places in Cape Town that have the facilities that Nekkies does - large river, olympic size pool, plenty camping, showers, toilets, etc. But most of all they want us there. Its a serious problem finding any sort of venue these days, they just don't want parties. Worse than that is once a party is going neighbours phone the police and they come and close you down. If big money is spent on production and international artists are flown in this cannot happen, one has to be very sure of the venue. You show any local organiser a better option and they will jump at it.

Anyway Greg, pretty rich coming from you, only place I've ever heard that you've played at is that yuppie scum, grab your money and run venue, opium. You seem quite happy to perform your art to a bunch of heaving juvenile jocks who don't know or care about the music or the journey. Any "degredation" of sa trance will be due to the migration of the mindless masses fueled by desperate dj's who will sell their own mother for a "big mac" or 15 seconds of "instant gratification". Bottom line is that only people can wreck sa trance, not a camping site, just my 2 cents.
