A poll for advice! Optimo vs Hardfloor
 

Hardfloor are playing live in the Sub Club tomorrow night, and I was planning on going to Optimo on Sunday as I need a night out. I can only really afford one, and I don't get to go to Optimo as much as I'd like due to working on Mondays, however it's Hardfloor live..... What do you think?

Re: A poll for advice! Optimo vs Hardfloor
 

check the mid nineties for some acid remixes of every artist going...

hardfloor i'd say for sure, then again i've not really heard of Optimo

i'd see hardfloor personally...

hmm...

well - I only remember Hardfloor from a few remixes back in the mid-nineties... some were just ok (in my opinion)

but then

I've only ever heard optimo from that one "how to kill the dj" x2cd (or it was called something to that effect) and maybe a remix or two...

(and I thought that the mix cd was a bit too scatterbrained you know?

...maybe just go to hardfloor?

The Hardfloor remix of 'Sven Väth - Robot' is a killer. If chances were they would play anything like that, I would go there. I have to add I don't know Optimo, though.

Optimo is a club night isn't it?

yer, its a sunday night thang that ally swears by and i have been to once. starts off with a live band, then a dj set by twitch and wilkes, who start off very old school, im talking nina simone here, and then move possibly a bit northern soul, then end up eclectic electro awesometown

sounds like hardfloor's the no-brainer! lukeyd - you must go and find 'acperience' - i'm surprised you've been let in without knowing it ;)

Yeah I ended up relenting and going to see Hardfloor, absolutely brilliant night! I had all the good intentions of going to Optimo but we wound up on Sunday evening still not having slept since getting in from Hardfloor on Friday and gave it a miss.
