Why the early exist for Sacramento party-goers?

Sound.

Proper dance music requires proper sound. There is no way around it. It doesn’t have the be extremely loud, it has to be extremely good! The sound system is what brings quality dance music to life. It’s such an important aspect but almost entirely overlooked at 95% of clubs in Sacramento.

When the sound system is not up to par is has a defeating purpose. It sucks the life right out of the deejay, the dancefloor, and the party as a whole before too long. Dancefloors get lethargic and people start to leave. This may not happen with hip hop and top 40 for some reason (that’s an entirely different discussion), but it’s going to happen with house and techno if the sound system blows.

I’m tired of people blaming Sacramento, saying Sacramento sucks, and things like that. Sacramento hasn’t had a chance. There hasn’t been ONE decent Sacramento club in a decent Sacramento location, with a quality sound system to try and grow a house or techno event on a Friday or Saturday night in the last decade. Not one. And when you look around at the parties that some promoters are trying on weekends today you’ll see the same Sacramento people you’ll see at 4AM leaving Ruby Skye or 6AM at the End Up, but they are leaving the Sacramento party at 1AM. How’s that make any sense? They obviously aren’t having a good enough time at the party. There are many reasons for that and the catalyst for many of those reasons is the sound system. It is as important as any element of a good party.

These shitty Sacramento sound systems are sucking the life out of the deejays and the dancefloors and it’s really too bad. The good news is things seem to be changing. Clubs like MiX Downtown, Blush Ultralounge, and The Press Club now have fantastic sounds systems and are doing proper dance music events on Thursdays AND weekends!

There will be more on this story in the upcoming days, weeks, and months we’re sure!!!
