Who remembers what it was like without Club Shelter?

[Basecore Boy]

I remember the time they closed the Hubert Street site the first time. Man the music suffered badly.

The Shelter is our big brother. No matter how you look at it. The club is big for dance music.

You think music is slow coming out now. When the club was closed we could not get any new songs on the regular.

Don't ever forget that!

I thought I would say this because of all the negative folks out there. Waiting to take shottts at the giant on the block.

I don't always agree with everything they do. But, the club is needed. Repeat Needed.

Who remembers what it was like without Club Shelter?


OK, who remembers what it was like when we had more than three radio stations that played House Music on the weekend in the tri-state area?


The music did not suffer when The Shelter was shut down. This is a rather short sighted approach to the music and the scene.

You can always get another club, but the steps it takes to get House Music back on the radio, is a TAAADDD but more difficult.

How did the closing of the Shelter Hurt the music?

Did the closing of the Shelter force Tony Humphries to move to Europe in the mid 90s? I think not.

[Basecore Boy]

Groove your so right. The Tri-State area was the only one that felt the closing.

I would go to record stores and they had done away with the dance section. Was very sad those days.

[Basecore Boy]

I think Tony was spending most of his time over there anyway.

The Shelter had nothing to do with the "lack of" house music in the North East, you got to be kidding me. There was a lack of a place to hear House Music, but there were other spots still going strong during that time.

If the Shelter was a main source of Music, then Strictly Rhythm, Nervous, Eightball, Easy Street, and other New York and Jersey based labels would've been shut down almost a decade ago.

Peace

[Basecore Boy]

I don't think you get it. The music was dead when shelter was closed.

Those labels were not signing or putting out new releases. Do you really remember?

[Basecore Boy]

What spots are you talking about? They did nothing to help dance music sales. I'm sure of this.

Talk to any producer of Deep House music and they will tell you. The times were harder then.

Shelter is like the record store. How many people hear songs there and go look for them.

[dennis f]

ok I'ma put my foot in here......

TIMES ARE HARD NOW!

Shelter's closing did nothing to affect the creative and business side of our music. No disrespect intended. It hurt NY's house scene a bit but not that much. To tell you the truth the closing helped spawn several smaller parties and gave these places a chance when at any other time they had none. I love the shelter but the statement that started this post is utterly ridiculous! Groove is right...what has hurt our scene is the lack of radio, sponsorships, and new blood. Clubs come and go....do you think the closing stopped Timmy from playing gigs anywhere? Did his world stop? Did Blaze stop? nope.......you just keep on keepin' on...that's what we're all doing right now.

When the Shelter closed in August 1993 it left a void in in not
only the scene but the music.Shelter was looked upon as the barometer of hot music,however the Underground Network
@ the Sound Factory On Wednesday nights did their the best
to fan the flame.I remember Hippie Torrales spinning classics
at the "Funk Hut" and all these heads with their Shelter shirts cartwheeling on that little powdered floor.Got really choked up!Sure there was still plenty of decent output but there wasn't that big magical venue to experience it in.

Shelter is but one aspect of what this is all about.

[Basecore Boy]

The decline in our music came from not having that main venue to dance and hear unreleased tunes.

Some may want to think Shelter is not important.

Damn, I think Shelter pave the way to what we call soulful house music.

Please, someone tell where this soulful house music title came from?

So many big dance songs come out of shelter.

Are you that nieve to think that "ONE" club was the mecca of House Music?

Have you been anywhere other than New York and New Jersey?

If the Shelter is so "BIG" then why are people still finding out who Timmy Regisford is? By the way you're talking, he should be bigger than Louie, David Morales, Tony Humphries, and Frankie Knuckles combined.


The Shelter is not a breeding ground for new music. It's only a "PLACE" to showcase new music, same goes for any club out there that can hire DJs that have access to new and unreleased material.

Please don't bash me on this one. Before shelter most parties were for the gay community. Yes, I took my son to Shelter and he had a great time. But, I took him to Body & Soul and he cramped up. He said to many guys with white wife beaters on.

See we often think about our little community of die hards and forget the big picture.

Basecore, where were you when Tony Humphries was on Hot 97 in the mid to late 90s. More people were talking about Body and Soul rather than the Shelter. What about Legends?

What about the Deep House Page, the old Masters at Work Message board, that other site when it was part of simplenet.com?

I think the only person that suffered was you.

Shelter is the big boy on the block. Face it. I know Shelter is the shit, but I don't buy my records according to what Timmy or any cat plays. I buy what I feel, what moves me and at times that feeling shifts to other genres of music. I can never say I am looking for this or that I know that certain records may be hot here or there but If I don't feel it at the time they just stay behind.

[darrow]

what year was this?

I remember making the trek from Rochester NY to NYC to hit up Downtown Records, Vinylmania, and Rock and Soul during the early 90s before I moved to DC in '93. I didn't get a sense that times were hard for those stores. I know I didn't care what was being played at The Shelter. I just wanted to buy some music.

[music]

jay mixin' dixon did more for the house scene than club shelter. trust me, that is why in nyc ,98.7 has kiss club classics. the station featured the best of the best djs (unknown as well) in the metro-area. alot of today's djs got air-time there.

shelter is not a major player in the music field. yes it has a purpose but no more than the next club.

i am from the big nyc and have learned more about house music from the chicago brothers like
jamie, alan king, gregg gray, andrew osborne(canada), craig alexander, boo williams,lee collins and ronc.

[Doug]

I'm late, but I'll chime in. The closing of the original Shelter, while sad, did not really have the impact on the music that you're trying to suggest. It may have left a void in the NY/NJ in terms of a venue through which new music could be broken, but by the time of closing house music had moved waaaay beyond the confines of Chicago and NYC. As other people have correctly pointed out, there were countless other DJs, venues, magazines, etc. that were essentially "breaking" new music back then. Music was selling in relatively large amounts without it. The sad thing is that today, when The Shelter is arguably at the peak of its popularity and influence, you can't give most records away. Times are hard for everyone.

This is so funny. Sure other states were doing their thing with the music. But, If deep house dj's would be truthful and say. Yes, shelter helped all here in the tri-state area.

I would go to clubs and DJ would be playin sets just like shelter. Yeah, they will come on here and act like they don't. My favorite one is. I don't have to go to the shelter to have a good set. Why not go and listen to a very talented DJ. DJ's don't let the I'm better than you mess, stop educating you. Learn to have a better spirit and other folks will feel that.

Playlist junkies where are you, don't be shy. No one ever answered my question about Where did the term "Deep House Music" come from. Not saying shelter came up with it, but I would like to know. The shelter gave everyone that loves deep house music a major venue here.

Ray keep taking your little shotttts. That's all you got. You show the world how mean spirited you can be. Hope I see you in heaven. Still love you man!

Yes, I was one who would go to the club to experience the new music.

This why I stay away from certain people now. Because everyone is in some kind of group. If one say something about another. You know them now. Man if you knew how much I love this music. You would say. He wants to contribute something good. But, I see we have people who will be mean spirited, no matter how nice you may be. This is what is sad about a scene that gives beautiful message in our music.

I hope you understand. I'm glad you did question it. Because somethings need to be addressed. Like the mean spirits in this scene. We have no room for them. They hurt progress.

[kev]

I do agree that the Shelter has contributed soooooo much to this music and continue to do so. IMO I don't feel that the Shelter is the end all and be all to music. It was going on before them and will continue to do so after.

I'm not trying to come down on you (obviously I have nothing but love for the Shelter). I feel this music just as much as you. ;) I just don't agree with some of the things you've been saying on this thread.

Black Box was good. I've done many parties there. But, the club was dedicated to NA. The direction of the club was for them only.

Come on Basecore. I am able to bring up quite easily every post you have posted on this message board for the last year (and more) and read thru them. I can start with the "Bring Kevin back to the Shelter post" if you like but I would rather not. Why is it that every time I question someone on this board then I have to be in cahoots(?) with someone they are having problems with :rolleyes:

-G

[Basecore Boy]

Bringing back Kevin Hedge is what I think would help shelter. Not destroy it. Come better than that. So, if someone says anything about improving a party, they are wanting them to fail. No, I think you need to talk to someone else about dissin shelter. I understand the importants of this club.

I will say this again shelter is good for dance music, period.

Like your site is good for dance music.

Don't follow the groups.

[GROOVE VICTIM]

OK, Imma kill this thread with the quickness!!!


After hours of researching mixtapes, CDs, and my record collections, I can more or less sum this whole issue up with a simple playlist.

Now according to one of the members of this board, The Shelter first closed in 1993.

Well I'm gonna start a list of hit records ranging from 93 to 96. This will prove how much the Shelter really hurt the New York scene and record production. Tony Humphries and Louie Vega were the two DJs during this time period that pushed many of these classics.

yo my brother get real and get out more. no shelter, life goes on. it is no way near the garage .

in bad weather the shelter gets 50 - 100 people if that. and in good weather maybe 200-300 w/ an artist.

even body and soul out sold the shelter on bad nights.500 people.

After hours of researching mixtapes, CDs, and my record collections, I can more or less sum this whole issue up with a simple playlist.

Peace I actually miss that time,
the music had more balls then.

It was a sad day but I knew they would bounce back ;) , but the dance scene kept thriving!! I spent most of my nights @ the Sound Factory Bar on Wednesday's w/ Louie ripping the tunes & Sundays @Charles Jacksons' party w/Andre Collins keeping the music thriving. As a matter of fact thank God we had Louie & Andre to help keep the scene thriving til Shelter returned. There also was a host of other venues like the Buddha Bar, Fat Boys, Silver Shadow, & 1 Front St. that catered to the House crowd.

The Shelter closed but don't you remember the parties at the Tunnel Timmy threw. With different jocks like Basil and John Robinson. UN, House Nation, Etc.....

Those were great parties also, I went to a few parties @ the Tunnel though, it had a different feel than Hubert St.. Benny Soto & I would leave class & go check John Robinson when he was spinning.

shelter is a venue not an institution like studio 54, electric circus,xenon, and garage.

trust me shelter won't be on vh-1.

for instance, the empire roller ring was an institution, it has been around for over 25-30 years. music was always slamming since 1970's.
