I've dug up yet another Claude VonStroke mix. This one comes from July 2006, a bit old but I can't tell since I don't recognize most of the tracks. Its still banging though. Pick up tracks from VonStroke and others on his DirtyBird records from Beatport. Also, there is this party at this place that I may have mentioned once or twice. Honestly I'm just excited that Fluid is 10 years old. Thats an eternity in club life. I've been going through clubs in my head and can't think of one that has been open the same amount of time. Transit is close but that nearly closed I don't know how many times. Places like Lounge 125 have gone through 4 or 5 incarnations at least in the past 10 years. SoMa use to be a cool spot for dancing but that was converted to Bar Named Sue then shut down. Medusa has been around for ~3 years and before that was a jazz club. Sals has been booking dj's for 1 - 2 years. 700 club has probably been open quite awhile but they never bring in outside talent. Pure used to be huge but under a different name. Skyline and 1516? (I think) used to kill it in Chinatown but have both been closed and leveled since like 98,99. Evolution on Delaware Ave. was big for awhile but is closed. There was Space but that only lasted a few years until it turned into Motion which lasted even shorter and is now vacant. M Room took over where Aqua Lounge left off. Shampoo I think is the only club still open and they've fell off. They barely bring in any big talent any more except if there is a Whistle there. Where else is there? Am I missing something on Delaware Avenue? I'm pretty sure most of those clubs have gone under an overhaul within the last 5 years. Whats your favorite place to listen to dance music now or in the past 10 years? Leave it in the comments.

I remember more now. Bamboo used to be Parkway Diner and was a Irish Pub for a bit. There was also the rave diner, which was then the Blue Horseshoe and now 20 S. 20th I think. Anyone remember the name when it had Automatic Tuesdays? Ulana's has been open for a bit although I'm not a big fan of it for some reason. There was the Fake House in West Philly for a bit where Substitution used to throw an all jungle party called Sutpen's Jungle. Trying to remember the name I ran across LaTazza which has since been repurposed. So many clubs have been closed since then.
FLUID BABY. All day urryday.
RIP SILK CITY
FUCK YUPPIES ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE IS THAT BOARDED UP BUILDING ACROSS FROM THE OLD CITY LIQUOR STORE THAT THEY COULD TURN INTO SOME YUPPIE BOOZE DEN FOR JERSEY FUCKERS
