soulprojector Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Hi my name is greg. I'm a producer / dj from San Diego. I will be stopping in New York City from March 18 - 25 as part of a cross country trip I'm taking. I know this is a long shot but, I was checking around to see if I could perhaps get in on a night someplace to play some records. An opening slot would be fine, I don't need to be payed, just an opportunity to play someplace else besides this tired ass city of San Diego, who has no love for tribal, or progressive house. Or local djs for that matter. I know you might be thinking "here is some young newbee dj looking for a chance to play". Actually I've been playing records now for almost 7 years, and producing tracks for 2. I'm not getting any younger but, I still love djing. My sound when djing is someplace between Danny Howells and Dave Seaman. I don't have a dj mix on line anyplace right now but, you can hear some of my original work, and see a bio at www.sounclick.com/soulprojector Well thank you for your timenever hurts to try,greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soulprojector Posted January 16 Author Report Share Posted January 16 Will do. To be honest. San Diego pretty much sucks if your looking for a quality night out. That is if you want to go hear good dj's at a nice club. Now if you want to hear good dj's at a dive club that is an option. See things are real ass backwards here when it come to our local talent. The mediocre and just plain shitty dj's play at the nice clubs (there are only two of those here by the way). and the really good dj's who play really good music play at dive bars and small clubs. Can't really explain why that is but, it is.There are two main big clubs that feature national and international dj's. They are "On Broadway" and a venue called L5.Recently Sandra Collins played at L5, and Monk from RITM will be here real soon. "On Broadway' had Tiesto and PVD a while back. Again though the locals who somehow have residencies at these places just dont (for me anyway) have much if anything to offer if your looking to get your dance on.This is just my perspective and opinions. I would recomend you to check it out for yourself though. The two afformentioned clubs do seem to have a good turn out every weekend.hope this info could be of some use to you or anyone else who may be heading to San Diego in the future.cheers'greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulprojector Posted January 16 Author Report Share Posted January 16 If you are into deep and classy house music, there is also a venue called The Onyx Room. It's small but really nice inside. They have stuff going on Wed through Sat. They bring in alot of house dj's from all over the place. All these clubs are located in the "Gaslamp Quarter" in Downtown SD.If you don't want to dael with the irritating young college crowds, stay away from the Pacific Beach, and Mission Beach areas for night life (it's all hip hop and top 40). I would recomend those places during the day for people watching. I mean our average temps during the day have been in the high 60s.Don't get me wrong this is a cool city but, not so cool if you are a dj trying to make a buck or two, or even just get a regular gig for that matter.
