I'd say clubs experiencing decreasing numbers is not strictly a US phenomenon - there was a time here (Dublin) when 4 or 5 techno nights could happen over a weekend and all would do reasonably well. Not so much these day though, a few clubs have a strong following but the rest might be empty if a Mills or Garnier is in town playing one of the bigger venues. I reckon it's got a lot to do with the fact the dance music - or at least the form of it we discuss here - isn't new any more, so there's not such an urgency to see what it's all about for those people only getting to a club going age now.
