illbill76 Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 Good luck! People have been trying to throw good house parties in SI for YEARS w/ no luck...All you are going to get is a wack ass hip hop crowd that all have the same hair cut!

abdussabur Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 Are you really giving away free cd's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest djeffect Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 yes, i'm giving away free cds, no bullshit.i think you guys aren't getting it, here are two groups of dj's giving you, yes you, a house nite, to come to on si, and all most of you have to say is good luck, that's why there is no scene here. this place with 75 ppl is almost packed, i'm sure we can do thatjeez, come on guys support a nite, and maybe things will changeon the island, and more spots will do it. you guys support the clubs in manhattan, i know i see alot of you there, why can't you suppor a nite on your home turf, i'm talking the way you want it, the music you want, and the crowd you want. forget about the hip hop crowd, i'm talking about you (yes, you).by the way, they usually don't have a hip hop crowd there, it's either rock, or house as dj kinky said. but it was a weird nitedjkinky email me your ph # . i'd like to talk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 sorry but i think you have to come to the realization that if you wanted to throw a party you would have better luck in the city.. i know you're trying to bring house music to staten island, but i think it's a lost cause.. staten island used to have pretty decent parties from what i hear about 6-7-8 years back but that era is over and done with... also, i dont think it's just house that can't take off in staten island, i think it's all genre's.. are there really any hiphop parties worth going to here either?? do you see people coming from queens or brooklyn to go out in staten island?? i don't know why but i don't like going out in other boroughs aside from manhattan.. i would never set foot in the bronx to go out and im not too thrilled about going into brooklyn to go out.. i havent done it yet, but im not completely closed off to that idea.. i usually just go out in si either to dannyboy's or jimmy maxx for a few drinks during the summer.. oh and curves.. cant forget about curves.. i think you're party may have some success during the summer months if it were on like a wednesday or a thursday.. when people want to go out but don't want to go too far.. i personally cant make it because i really have no friends in staten island.. most of my friends are scattered over new jersey or away at school.. i have a few staten island friends but they are the sit at the bar types, not the go out and hear good music types.. well,ive written way too much here.. but goodluck with the party Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that if the party is promoted right then it can definitely work on staten island....When we started our party at martini Red we FIRST had a Art Exhibit at our promoters loft where we showcased some short films, paintings, and video installations. We promoted both the Art exhibit and the after party at Martini Red with great success.We also where able to get the local business to sponsor the event.....I believe we had around 100 people show up to Martini Red after the art exhibit. Which for S.I. is allot!I think that if some planning is done before hand then any party can have a succeful night. Sure after that one big event our number have decreased but we still average around 50 heads.IT takes time to build a party but with good planning and proper promoting anything is possible...

thomaskm1 Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 hey djeffect, I play with Kinky at Martini...Just want to say to keep at it, people will come. Not everyone wants to travel into Manhattan every night, so you just have to stay consistant with realistic expectations and the word will spread to those who would want to come. Either way just have some fun, you can really play whatever you want and be creative with it. Try to come through this Saturday, we do a house party the last weekend of every month, like my partner said its been good so far running.As far as that hiphop crowd... there might have been a HH party the week b4 and they came back for more.
