right, interaction between the DJ and the crowd is meant. that point I'll give you. I took it as crowd interaction within people generally which I think is the same everywhere in the club.

that I understand. I even find myself at the front sometimes at some point of the event and that's all fair enough. I also don't mind if anyone does a quick video or takes a few pictures - never have said anything against that. what I mind is continuous filming (esp if with flashlight running).

not for me to speak on anyone's behalf but I'd guess this isn't the best way to get more girls involved on the forum

We all go out and party to have fun right ?
Doesn’t matter if you are at the front , middle or back ! never think before going out where I will be partying when I go to a club or festival ...when you know the club (Ibiza or barcelona in my case )yes I have a place in each one to start the night ! Just a place where you feel more comfortable ( not too far from bar and toilet ) and where they are not too much people cruising but that it ... because the only thing that can annoy sometimes I’m club is when it s too crowded and you are in a cruising zone ( space terrace had quiet a few cruising zone for example with the 3 access and staying in one of them for the entire night can be a nightmare)

I dance where I have enough space and where the sound is good.
If the sound is shit if you are not at the front, it means to me that the club is shit.
I go clubbing for the music first, the ambiance in second.
I don't give a shit to see the dj, I interact with him by the music and nothing else.

Unless it's a scratch DJ and then I'd quite like to see what they are up to.

at pacha I thought the soundsystem was superb. Ok the bassline frequency on one track had me covering my right ear but generally it was very good. I found a good space between the podium and the bar at the back where I wasn't caught in the passing traffic. Didn't feel any real need to get immersed in the crowd. old b'stard though - like to lean on walls/pillars!

I'm a bit claustrophobic and hate unapologetic bumping and barging, so tended to stay away from the front of most places, unless the crowd is polite and mature enough to be reasonably compos mentis. Being under 5ft 10 doesn't help in the middle either.
Not fussed about interacting with DJs, for me the best sets are still the ones where the music is the focus and not the DJ. It was like a breath of fresh air when Sasha & Digweed played together behind a translucent screen and attention was diverted to the sound waves. Or the DJ booth is discreetly tucked away in a corner like on the main floor in Berghain, it really shifts focus from the DJ back to the floor itself and stops all the god-worshipping behaviour and clustering at the front. I never liked all the "MC" shyte that went with raves either !
It's been 2 years now since I went to a club (1 if you count a daytime event at Blue Marlin). Squaring up to 'rude Italians' (stereotype term for rude large bargey people of any nationality in reality) to defend dancefloor territory just isn't something I ever want to have to be dealing with again. Done enough of that to last a lifetime. I guess that means I am officially now "past" my big clubbing days or going to very busy parties, and I have no desire to evolve into one of the table service crowd in the VIP (even less desire to spend my money on it). I think it's just how things evolve for a lot of people. When even standing in a club queue for 10 minutes has you looking at your watch feeling like you're wasting your life, it's time to move on and change your scenery. That time may not come for everyone but it has for me, and I never thought it would !! When you're young enough to brush all that off without it bothering you too much is the time to make the most of it so go for it and enjoy it all as much as you can. Had some really great times despite all the irritations.
Backpacks generally - it's the thing I miss least about the 1990s !! Number of times I got clocked in the face by someone's backpack swinging round as they busted out a move in a busy space lol. They were as annoying then as constant filming, a sea of cellphones or overcrowding is now !!

Why mention the race of the door guy? To the untrained reader, it seems like quite a pejorative undertone.
*edit, I used the “r” word, but changed it to pejorative, as racism is not something to be so casually a term to be thrown around.

For some reasons he feels compelled to specify race and nationalities of whoever interacts with whether is in a positive or negative way.

If you want to be at the front in a busy club, you can't really complain if you get jostled and shoved around.

It's partly behind my rising fear of built-up areas - in the countryside you don't have to think twice about having somewhere to go. The minute you hit the city limits you wind up clocking every convenience on your route like the forward wave of a recon mission ? Try having a pee behind the portaloos in the DC-10 garden these days and you'll find yourself ejected head first into the nearest bush (if you're lucky !!)
