New York City Wake Up!! I Am So Tired Of Us Supporting The Wrong People!!!

[vlindhouse]

This Is An Open Letter To Everyone Of My Fellow New Yorkers And People Wolrd Wide Who Come To Our Clubs. I Am So Tired Of All Of Us Running To Hear These Superstar Out Of Town Djs That Come For Huge Money And Force The Clubs To Raise Ticket Prices. They All Play The Same Nonsense Again And Again. Its Time For Us To Develop And support Our Own Superstar!!

After Giving This Much Thought I Am Nominating Dj Exacta. I Was At Pacha Last Night And This Guy Completely Blew My Mind. It Was The Best Set I Have Heard In About 6 Years.. He Is One Of Us And A New York Born And Raised Local Kid. I Have Watched Him Grow Through The Years And Out Of All The Djs I Have Watched I Feel He Has The Most Potential To Really Take Us Back To The Days Where It Was Amazing To Go Out!! Be Part Of Something Special!!! And Control The Masses With An Insane Sound.

I Am Telling You If You Missed This You Missed Something Special. Its Time To End The Never Ending Tribal Drums We Are Constantly Forced To Listen To From Our New York Guys And Hear Some Of The Most Intense Vocals And Seamless Mixess I Heard Last Night. This Was What sexy Dirty House Is Supposed To Sound Like.

I Never Really Post On This Board But I Feel Extremely Passionate About This One And Am Tired Of Seeing And Hearing The Supposed Best Dj's In The World Come To Our City And We Flock Like A Bunch Of Sheep.

Anyway I Think You For Spending The Time To Read This And Wish You All Much Success And Love. But We Have To Come Together And Bring Back A Feeling Of What It Used To Be About. Alot Of People Say It And Don't Have A Clue What They Are Talking About But I Am Telling You If You Where There And Heard This Set You Would Sound Like Me Right Now.

Let Me Know What You Think And Hopefully You Will Join Me In My New Quest Of Making A New York Dj Our Own Superstar.

dj exacta, k, cool gotta check him out. so im def with u on paying ridic prices for club entrance,....i understand its a business but clubs need to charge a reasonable price to get in....the majority of the crowds are under 30 and many people aren't loaded either. although we are talking about manhattan....

anyways although many out of towners are amazing i think it's important to "support" our local new york djs too.

[silverbull]

Exacta is a cool guy and ive only managed to hear him once and i liked it althought i hear it wasnt really a good reflection og what hes about. So i look forward to hearing things from him soon.

So since your all about supporting the right people and stuff will you be at P.S.1 this sat?

I am doing everything i can to make it Sat. I have noticed on many occasions you have a big influenece on this board and your posts get major response. So i urge you to check out Exacta again so you can see what I was talking about. Also I just read your review on Danny and loved it I am sure he was amazing at Stereo but I think you might agree with me that to continue keeping NYC on the map as far as house music we have to start supporting and cultivating our new guys. It always seems to me there is another post by someone about Junior, DT, Morillo, JP, and where each one has def left lasting impressions and will always have a place in my heart. If we want to really build something we really need to have some new superstars and start making them into the next generation of Dannys and Juniors. As fans of more than just the music but the lifestyle and culture of House. I think we owe it too ourselves and to others to start showing the new crop of NYC DJS some major love and support.

Much respect and admiration and I admire your work to keep house music and culture alive and exciting. So please keep on doing your thing....

Im trying my best to do what i can for the house music culture which i love and sometimes get alot of shit for on this board which i dont mind. I also have my own party goin on called STIMULUS>RESPONSE which is a local party that has been doing some good numbers at different venues.

As for exacta dont be suprise if one day we come together and work on something. Theres a lot of djs that are already established and have been playing since the 70/80s and are still doin it, much respect and love to them. His time will come as will the time of other djs, its sometimes all about timing and the right place and person to help ones career out. Im sure we will cross paths one time or another and when we do say hello. I wouldve been there on sat but was to tired.

Pacha Resident!!!!!!!!! . . . . . .

[vlindhouse]

Pacha Resident!!!!!!!!! . . . . . .

First off thank you Zev for responding to my post. Its nice to see someone from a club actually reading some of the boards instead of just posting a flyer. But I am a bit confused.

I didn't really know Pacha had residents? Isn't a resident a weekly DJ that people come to hear because for that one night they (for lack of a better word become the hereo of that space)?

When I think of resident DJs I think of Junior at the original Soundfactory, I wasnt around but heard stories. Or Junior at Tunnel having Dolce and Gabanna designing his DJ booth. I think of JP at the last version SF.

Currently, a resident that comes to mind is Cedric Gervais at Space in Miami. You know that every Sat. night you can go to the patio and this guy takes control and owns the floor. He continues building a following and now has fans that follow him to that venue every week.

The club through promotion and marketing makes the DJ the Superstar and the DJ through talent and connection with the crowd helps create the club. Together they create the vibe! I am not claiming to know more than you guys working everyday in and at the venue but this resident thing is confusing to me.

S. Bull help me out on this one. Am I correct to say that part of the reason a vibe is created is because you know you can go somewhere every week and a DJ is spinning who you love and are connected to? It's what helps create that feeling of unity and a sense of being part of something.

I hardly think a guy who spins at your club once in a while would be considered a resident.

I do like the idea of making Exacta a resident I know I would be there to support. Anyway Zev if ya have a sec. mabye you can explain it to me.

[montbh]

Exacta and Whitmore were the 1st named residents when Pacha opened.

[mattm2o]

Beleive in Boris

[growinupjersey]

He played Funky, and straight house. Sick fresh beats, a lot of vocals. Some tracks he played that I could ID

Madonna - Get Together (Danny Howells remix)

Axwell - Watch the sunrise (Axwell remix)

Phillipe B - Ibiza mi amore

Thats all I could ID, everything else was a superbomb, either funky, or straight house. And did anyone hear that insaine track he dropped with the funky keyboard piano strings, with that massive bassline. Some sick shit.

[Houseallnitelong]

OOOOOOOO the love for my great friend Brian has finally come. In the booth and on the floor the entire night. and i was blown away. Some great EXCLUSIVE bombs. AVH played a great commercial set. great build ups and all but it was extremely outdated. plus he only spun for lil under 2 hours. exacta djed for 6 1/2 hours. so it was most likely you were hearing exacta rather than AVH.

i know that massive bassline piano strings..its rough and HOUSE to the max.

lets just say that its hopin to come out soon.

Exacta has been settin his eye out on Europe and has been at it constantly with his Compulsivemusic digital label. I have been sayin exacta is the best HOUSE dj in ny for years...and now its stickin to peoples head. It was nothin short of amazing. Right up their with the big names. Djin in England, Slovenia, Ibiza, and the world next year. Friday he will be out in the hamptons, and then off to Europe. New Yorker better catch on cause he WILL be the name people will think of when they think of GREAT house music djs.

SEXY DIRTY UPFRONT house music. its hard to find..but make it to the next exacta party.

Danny T is local isnt he??? Its still 40$ a ticket when he plays.

[deepsee]

yes Danny is "local" in the sense that he's from NYC and has a base here, but he is so far beyond "local." in this thread, my sense is that "local" means up-and-comers/the next crop of DJs who could one day be on the level of a Danny T...

[rayrays69]

What exacty does Exacta play?? Wish i woulda went sat. night

The tracks that Exacta played besides for like 3, not many people have, and are all major house bombs. To only way to hear them, are to go check him out. Trust me, you will not be Dissapointed.

"Lets us Hope for the right"

I hate that word "support", feels like something painful something has to do. I go out to have fun, not "support" some party where I won't have fun.

There are plenty of new DJs who don't need anyone to "support" them, mostly they don't play the typical house sound anymore and are out of the clubbing mainstream.

Stop whining and asking people to go out of their happy way to "support" some DJ. 90% of the folks who go hear the superstars at Crobar aren't the ones who are interested in the music anyway, they just want to have a "night out in the cool club du jour" and feel like they're the shit.

This "support" sounds like "life-support", if a party scene is on life-support, might as well finish it because it's already not fun and done with. IMHO.

[someclown]

I agree 100% with Exacta. He's amazing. Other New York DJ's that deserve huge support are Peter Bailey, Merritt, and Ziggy. Each one is amazing in his own right.

Ok here we go.. First off I want to thank all of you for responding to my post. Whether negative or positive I appreciate your views on my thoughts and am grateful for the response.

Now I am going to try and clear up what I can, and hopefully some of you that had some issue with what I was saying will at least have a better understanding of my point of view.

1. Danny T. He is local to the extreme: one of the best and most respected DJ's in the history of house music. Now the flip side is, is that he is so big he is bigger than local he is world renowed. So he has far surpassed any one city or style

2. Support: I don't want anyone to do anything they don't want to do or feel forced to do. If I wanted to feel like "the shit" trust me crobar is the last place i would go. You would see me in place like bungolow 8 or cain every other night. The whole point of my post was that I felt that as far as house music and lifestyle New York went from an amazing place to something that doesn't have that feeling anymore.

3. DJ's : whoever posted about Boris : good for you. I want you to like who you like and go hear who you like my whole point is, that as fans of this music and lifestyle we have a responsiblity to not only the city but the world to keep up and continue bringing the best and newest DJS and parties and we have been lacking in numbers and energy for a long time.

4. I go out for fun: Of course you do. If it wasn't fun you wouldn't do it. But its bigger than that you have to understand something we have a role to play and if we dont "support" and show up eventually you will see only clubs spinning hip-hop and trying their best to bring in a crowd that likes it.

DON'T KID YOURSELF ITS A BATTLE OF IDENTITY AND WE ARE LOSING!HOUSE IS NO LONGER THE DOMINANT FORCE IN NYC OR MIAMI. ALL I WANT TO DO IS BRING IT BACK. ESPECIALLY, WHEN THE WORLD WE LIVE IN IS SO TORN APART AND SEGREGATED. THE MOST AMAZING THING THAT COULD HAPPPEN IS IF OUR CULTURE, OUR WORLD, OUR STYLE, AND OUR MUSIC PLAYED A MUCH MORE DOMINANT ROLE ON THE YOUTH. YOU WOULD SEE A BETTER SOCIETY.

I saw the potential that night at Pacha that why I posted about Exacta, but its much larger than that or him alone. I just think we need someone to take New York and House Music and put us both back on the map and I belive he is the new guy who has the potential to do it.

MUCH LOVE AND RESPEC.

I agree, nyc isn't the musical influence it used to be. I still think that musically it's probably ahead of most places (the first name that comes to my mind is Joe Claussell as both a great original producer and dj, or fk for example: musically it's up UP there).

Now the only thing is, I think everything should be more natural, I don't know if you heard words like 'support the scene' in 1992 when people went to the SF to hear the last DJ Pierre tracks. It's phases, now is a down that's all.

(oh, I know Crobar's not the shit but most of the folks in there think it certainly is).

Peace.
