Both Tampa and Orlando were put on notice a decade ago that raves are forbidden. I'm sure you can find some junior mickey mouse club stuff but the days of the Florida raves are dead.
Okay, I never got to go to the Amp because I was too young and then I moved to Gainesville in '04 to go to college. I heard this place is reopening and I'm very excited. I still have the reddish/pinkish (I think Vol. 2) from DJ Santana...amazing album...anyone know where to order new copies?
@syndetic Yaaaaaaaaa I"m in Texas, right don't you come here and I'll get you booked where my son works! Ya I said son, 21 years old and a hopeful....Hey I might have that vinyl packed away...hmmmmm have to go look for it now.
@PCoutts1 Oh, wow. I thought I was a tad over the hill! :) In 1996 I used to know a woman who had a son around 18 yrs. old. The woman was in her mid-forties and used to go to parties with us. She once hosted an acid (yes, the chemical, not the music) party at her house for us while her husband (a police officer!!) was away at work during a long night shift. So you're really never too old. I've got the bug in me again, so I'm sorta back in the scene till I get it outta my system. :)
@syndetic Too funny! Well that sounds like something I might have done back then, but wasn't me, hubby wasn't a cop. My son is just now 21...Back in the scene? You quit? OMG I've got your stuff all over the place in boxes, cd's etc...your stuff was some of the first mixes I ever listened to. Hey! Watch the "over the hill" remarks buddy...my mind is not over the hill, and I can still play all weekend with the best of them!
@PCoutts1 Yeah, I "quit" after a few years. The vibe never left me, though. Only just now am I getting back into it. YouTube has all of my favorite tracks. Thankfully people have had the insight to post them here or else they'd get lost forever in the vinyl heaven in the sky. Hey, I thought you said you were too old for it now! Put your feet where your mouth is and dance! :) If I don't go to at least 1 party this year then shame on me!
@PCoutts1 BTW, has the scene changed a lot? I've heard it has, and for the worse. Yeah, those old mixes were insane. I'm slowly growing my collection back. DJ Micro, Scott Henry, Feelgood, Carl Cox, Bassbin Twins, DJ Icey, etc. I was never into hard techno, though. Acid breaks are what send me through the roof.
SCREW THE AMPITHEATRE; CLUB KAOS WAS THE SHIT BACK IN YBOR ABOUT 2000 WERE TALKING SOME REAL BREAKS THERE! no insult to Paul though he effin rocks and is a pioneer of old skool breaks. I mean we are talking like everyone in the club blowing up. Good times man.

He should have had a girl with bigger boobs on the stage next to him...other than that it will never be the same as it used to be! Santana+Amp...oh the memories!
twenty four knows whats up! Back in the day you could literally flip the dial on the radio and hear these sounds. I wasnt old enough to be in the clubs, but definately felt the vibes wherever and whatver i was doing at the time. Great music, great times.
Too bad that all we remember about it is dead nowadays, it was tight while it lasted though, Amp than an after party blastin' the X-Factory...Haha, i know you remember them days!!
AAGHHH!!! that's exactly what it is!! thanks so much! :)
as for anything else, i miss the music much more than the late nights,... but the times were fun while they lasted!! Ybor is such a ghost-town now... they took away too much culture when they tried to clean it up!
Love this place!!!
