Jonathans Apology "wmc"

[thisislife]

SURE EVERYONE HAS SEEN THIS OR READ IT JUST POSTING IT TO THOSE WHO DID NOT GET TO READ OR SEE IT FOR THE ONES WHO GIVE A FK NOT

Message from Jonathan Peters reguarding WMC

feel I need to write this letter to everyone, not only to explain what

happened at Space and Shelborne, but to let everyone know how I feel.

After Playing in NYC for over 20 years and being the resident DJ at

the Sound Factory for 7 years, I am a person who believes you only are

as good as your last party. While playing at SF things were done a

certain way to bring the party experience to a certain level.

Everything was taken very seriously from sound to lights, shows,

flyers, the way you were treated by all staff and right down to the way

I was playing. For those 7 years I spent every weekend of my life

playing music for you guys and loved every moment of it. When I was

told that everyone thought I queened out and walked out of Space and

shut the music off at Shelborne just to be a bitch, I felt that playing

on point was not enough anymore and that I needed to write this to set

the record straight.

The first thing I want to say is there is nothing more that I want in

my life then for everyone to feel like it used to be. I promise all of

you that I will always do my best not only musically, but for the whole

experience. I want you to know that during the years of SF there was a

very passionate man named Richard Grant holding the shit down and

allowed me to focus only on the music, but things change and now it is

what it is. Myself, Lou B and the whole JP team are doing the best we

can to bring you a memorable party experience. You must know that when

we walk into a new venue there are new issues and that will never

change.

There really cannot be a formula like there was at SF. Different club

owners do things different ways and a lot of times they can give a shit

about us. We try to stay away from those type of places but sometimes

its still the best option. I am telling you, Lou B cares as much for

you as I do; not only for your safety, but for your party experience.

So please recognize.

Ok here we go….

After being screwed over by Nikki Beach last year because they would

not let us bring our own sound system and making me close at 7pm not

12, even though we had a contract, Lou and I said we must have a solid

plan for this year. We wanted a plan that was going to be no drama.

What better place than Space in Miami.

SPACE

So everything is all good, the whole team rolls into Space, we set up

and we are on our way. It's all good.........

B.S.O.D opens for me and I am feeling really good!

Its WMC….We are at Space….It’s on.

So a couple of hours roll by and I am turning it out. Lou B. comes up

to me and I can see in his face something was wrong. The fire Marshall

came and said whatever floor you were on you had to stay put. So

basically if you came to hear me play and went upstairs to get some air

you were stuck, unless you left the club and paid to get back in. You

all do realize where I come from as far as doing a party, so you can

only imagine how upset I became. So I just stayed focused and did my

thing. Space was having these issues not only on our night but the

whole week. Space does not want these issues either. They put video

projectors on the upstairs so you guys could see the DJ, but I know not

with my fans, I know it's all about being with me. Yes maybe on the

other night it was fine but as I always say, my fans are much different

than other DJ fans. I think because we grew up together. I know a lot

of you were there with me at SF every weekend. Not to be cocky, but it

is what it is. I want everyone to also know that we had no control over

the door or the ticket price at Space. Because of the fact that during

the WMC Space is packed solid every night and we were just lucky to be

in there. I knew going in that if you did not take the time to buy

tickets that you were going to pay for it and I was ok with that. I

know a lot of you save your money to go down there, but I figured that

I would rather be at Space where the party is safe for you guys rather

than taking a chance to have it elsewhere. So I got finished playing at

9 on the main floor, my booth was going upstairs. I jump back to my

room, washed up and headed back to do the roof top. So I walk on the

roof at Space and it was clear as day that although I felt everyone was

happy to see me, I could see in their eyes it was too late. The vibe

was not right and I was starting to feel everyone’s pain from the

night. I know a lot of you were waiting for hours upstairs so I was

standing there just waiting for them to finish setting up my booth. It

felt like forever. The Matinee DJ's were doing their thing. Although

there was vibe I knew my fans were pissed off. So I went on knowing it

was already over for the people who were there. Walking out of Space JP

was not very happy so I went to my hotel, turned the T.V. on to check

the weather and it said it would be hot and sunny. So I went to bed

upset because of what happened, but ready to tear Shelborne a new

ass.....

SHELBORNE

It was a good morning. I woke up in a nice mood and left yesterday’s

drama behind. I am getting ready to go to the Shelborne where Area

Events are doing the party. Just so you know I was the DJ who started

the Shelborne with my friend John Dimatteo a couple of years back.

After that, many promoters jumped on the bandwagon. So I was feeling

good about the day because my fans vibe started that shit. I roll up to

the Matinee Group opening (they do the Saturday night party in Ibiza)

and I was glad to have them. My booth was set up and it’s all good.

Before I went on we had a performance. Rebecca Brown singing her hit

Sun Rising UP - and from that moment on let the drama begin. Right in

the middle of her performance some asshole pulled the fire alarm in the

hotel. The siren started going off. They must be able to clear the

alarm just in case of a real fire. That cut the power right in the

middle of her singing. OMG I felt so bad for her, but the power came on

and she did it again and it was all good for her. She was happy

therefore I was feeling good. So I start to play. I usually always play

from the beginning not only to settle in, but to play some sexy

records, but as I said I had the Matinee DJ's open so I jumped right

in. So I am doing my thing boom boom vocal boom boom he-he and I start

to mix into this special “let the sunshine†mix I did for you guys

because it was perfect for the pool party. Right in the beginning of it

I hear the sound cut off 90% and not only on the floor but also in my

booth monitors. Just so you know the number one rule is not to ever

fuck with my monitors because that is how I hear. So they cut the bass

bottom off on my monitors. I turned around and Lou B. came running to

the booth. I asked him what the fuck was going on. I thought maybe we

lost half the power or something but I was so wrong. I guess you know

why I started to play Going thru it. Although I know everyone was happy

when you heard it coming, but let me tell you I was not. So Lou goes

over to the sound guy. He says they told me to lower it. Lou B says “Yo

this is our party how dare you, turn it back up.†So the sound goes

back up, but not in my booth. The sound guy did not tell Lou that that

someone was there from the city of Miami with a sound meter. So when we

put the sound up the woman was right by the speaker with the meter. She

comes running over flipping out really bad and gave the hotel a fine.

She was about to close us down but she left. So we were told that she

was there the day before and once she leaves its all good. So we

chilled the sound on at 5% for a while then turned it up to 50%. So you

guys can at least hear the music. So what happens? Ten minutes she came

back again. And really, really starts to flip out and gives the hotel

another fine and makes me lower it again. Any vibe that was left was

now gone. I felt like I was in purgatory. I was sitting there very

upset and all I wanted to do is leave but would never do it to you. So

I just stayed focused and played. Great, it now started to rain a

little so I did not want my booth to get wet so they put this tarp up.

Now I could not see you guys so I am upset and can't see anybody. Music

is so low you could barely hear it. My monitors just high and I had a

headache but still held it together. Now for the punch-line. Everyone

knows when I am playing I want no one to talk to me, I am performing

for you. So Lou came in the booth and said “JP I need to speak with

youâ€. I said what's up. He said “look†so he pointed to a puddle,

inside the puddle was sitting all the wires from the electrical for the

sound and lights and I must say enough power to kill people. So Lou

looked at me and said “Follow my finger†and moved it two feet to the

right and almost in the same puddle was my fans. The crazy thing is no

one noticed but Lou B. So Lou said “JP this has been the worst day for

you and turning the music off now will probably put you in a grave. So

what do you want to do it your choice†So better me than you guys. I

turned the music off and in the background some asshole screams JP

sucks and yes I must tell you it hurt. So the music is off then it

starts to rain again really hard. So I was sitting there just thinking

how horrible its must have been for all of you. Some people at Space

who went and could not hear me because of going upstairs and for all of

you at the pool party who really wanted to get what they came there

for. I worked so hard putting together some shit that was going to blow

your asses away. Lou B. had not stopped for three months pulling it

together as well as my road team working non-stop and Area Events

non-stop as well. Honestly, knowing I have the greatest team behind me

and knowing no one could have worked harder is the reason why I did not

lose my mind. So 30 minutes go by and it was pouring rain and I was

done but thank god it was over! Then Lou B. came up and said “Ok JP its

all good you can play†and I was like “What the fuck its been over for

a half hour Lou.†He pulled up the tarp and I was looking at a packed

house of fans standing in the rain! With the saddest eyes I've ever

seen I said, “OMG this cannot be happening to me†and started to play.

I want everyone who was there to know that I truly love you all and

that is what happened from my eyes.

So after the party I was feeling like maybe I am wasting my time doing

what I do. I was thinking maybe I take all this too seriously. I was in

the worst mood of my life. I was with DJ Luv & Lodi and my boy Edgar -

my original Sound factory crew. I was good for the moment and then

someone told me Danny T is playing classics at Twilo. I was not feeling

like I wanted to enjoy myself but I did not make it to DT's birthday. I

was thinking how he sang Happy Birthday to me in Sound Factory and how

nice Danny has been to me over the years, so I headed over to support

my boy. So I got there. I did not say hello because I hate when people

say hello to me when I am playing. After ten minutes Danny was warming

up and Miss thing brought you classics DT style. Let me tell you, Danny

fucking turned it out. Besides him and that damn microphone LOL I was

so proud of him. I can honestly say it was the best I've ever heard him

play and if you were not there, wherever you were, you missed out big

time.. The sound system was incredible. Danny is an inspiration and

true professional. The way he worked that system…I felt like I was back

at SF, but hanging out. he-he. Some of the classics he was playing I

had not heard in years. With some of those records you better know how

to work a fucking sound system. I hung out and danced my ass off all

night. The club felt great and Danny showed his age musically which,

being I am an old bitch too, I had the time of my life.. After walking

out of there I felt wonderful again so I want to thank you DT. I

appreciate you so much...I also want to tell all of you I feel very

blessed to be able to do what I do and want to again thank all of you

who support me. I am so sorry that it was bad for you. Although I

cannot turn back time, myself and Lou and I are trying to put together

a plan to make it up to you. Additionally we will do everything in our

power so you can enjoy yourself at our partyies like you deserve to.

All my love,

Jonathan Peters
