Personally I never cared for JR's type of play, too much hype not enough soul...he always had and still has a arrogence that seems to be with him, but that is usually the case with guys that are short...he never stays too long at any club recently that is for a reason..correct...? It's all about making money from an owner/DJ/promoter level, you don't pack the place, you get your walkinggg papers. Besides I think JR's selection of musical genere is a bit stale to say the least, maybe he has been burned out, it happens, happened to me and has happened to others. Sometimes you need to take a step back and re-invent yourself...just ask Madonna. The changing demographics in NYC have caused the club scene that we see today. 20 or so years ago, yeah people did drugs in clubs but were not so blatent about it like today..and definately did not take public transportation to venues. Owners/DJ/Promoters know this and that is why they hit you with door charges, because they know that you will not spend money in the club once you get inside, they already have your money from the door/coat check etc...if you buy a drink, then they have that money too. Just was not like that back in the day. As far as JP goes never heard him play live so I cannot comment. The TRUE deal is that many of the DJ's that play in the city simple SUCK..!! There are many others worthy of playing that are much, much better than those playing in clubs currently, just that they do not get the opportunity to do so for whatever reason. Look at the core ideal of what American Idol is based on the understand just what I said. If they were truely that good and brough in consistant crowds they would stay because crowds=$$$ for all parties involved. As far as the Exit space, it is a nice room, however is is poorly designed as a room. I have a little history in that particular space going back into the early 80's when it first became a nighclub form it's original use as a horse stable. Times change and things move on...people need to constantly be on their game or someone else will just step up and fill the void. Let me tell you true DJ'ing is an art...and something that very, very few posess today in NYC. I don't mean to slam Jr or anyone else for that matter, but what I said are the facts..simple and true, how do I personally know , well I have been in the business for more than the age of most of you. Enjoy the club experience while you can for what it is worth to you..to meet girls,guys..dance..etc..just be safe and enjoy the vibe....and always be true to yourself. It feels good.... Enjoy ! BTW: Gay crowds are the best to play to...because they are not critical, just want to have fun and enjoy the scene. :hat: :hat:
