I will agree with you, New York IS a great place to go out and get your fill of beat subculture, it is not, however the best scene that has existed, or exists in this country . . .. nu - uh dont bring up the west coast scene.. i had to live with it for 2 years.. no good.. i mean there are a few spots in Cali that can pass off as good.. but nothing great! and why the heck are there so many promoters??? honestly the parties u see promoted the most is Roxy Friday and Exit Friday .. and although Roxy wasn't that bad last friday.. those parties aren't good representation on the NYC scene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Among other reasons. Places like SF, Exit and Roxy will have eleventybillion promoters because 1) they're big spaces and need lots of people to make them do well and 2) they know they can have 50 kids that will bring in 9 heads (or more than that and they can cut the numbers under ten) and that gives them hundreds of paying heads that they didn't pay out for. If these kids bitch and get upset, they're expendable for the next batch, so it works nicely for the club to keep em all insignificant. But you're not going to get rid of promoters - without heavy promotion, who knows about the party? The system needs a reform but the distribution and word of mouth still needs to be out there.

wahoo Posted June 12 Report Share Posted June 12 yo from my seat, i just moved to the city from dc where i didn't need to know promoters cuz i knew the peeps throwin the party, but it took a year to get into that vibe.So in defense of the promotin shite, they ain't all bad. I didn't wanna take a year to get t'know the city. Just putting my name out promoters have helped me out so i give them their due respect. Everyone keep goin' to roxy, exit or wherever, at least ya stay outta my hair. In the end, itz all mickey mouse.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfqtipie Posted June 12 Report Share Posted June 12 I was refering the clubs, not record labels. I enjoy NY clubS much better than anywhere else. Its the only place ive seen a club "SF" stay open from 12 midnight sat till 12 midnight Sunday. That was a sick day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
