Interesting thread....... You can take it both ways, however - I agree with Tony..and I sympathize with Demo... We have been doing diverse nights on Sobe for 3 years - not always with international talent, but always slightly away from the norm. You gotta understand as a promoter if 500 are on the list - expect 50 - even more so when you are offering something as diverse as Tripwire. I think you were also unfortunate with your timing. timo maas, John Kelly - Tall Paul the night b4 - Big football game..... Miami is a tourist town, and the stark reality is the majority of tourists (and even locals in some cases) have heard of Crobar, Level & Space - because of international acclaim. as far as the DJ's go Timo Maas, John Kelly, Tall Paul - again international commercial acclaim... That said I am not disprespecting djs Like Tripwire, but when you take into consideration the masses - not the muso's - you will probably find you get blank stares when you mention "underground" dj's names. CP is a small community of musicaly minded people.... the majority of Miami isn't. Miami is a tiny area surrounded by swamp - London, LA, Chicago and NYC aren't. I have said a million times put DJ XYZ here and it would bomb - put him in NYC and you have the roof off. Respect to you for trying something different - there aren't many of us who do. But don't get bitter at the results... Gotta face the Reality of what Miami is, and make the most of it...........
