silverbull Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 theres 2 types of promoters, 1. People who only run lists for a club/dj/party and 2. people who actually put a party together.Only thing i can say is believe in your product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattm2o Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 Only thing i can say is believe in your product.I agree 100%. I get calls at least 3 times a week from people asking me to get involved with parties that I really have no love for, and are not something I would want to put my name on. I was once at a club talking to a "Big" promoter (who shall remain nameless but, but I'm sure a lot of people have been to this guys parites), he had a really big DJ booked for that night, and didn't even know who he was. He told me "I never heared of this guy, someone else told me to book him, Id rather have ____ (Insert random NYC DJ that everyone has heared 10,000 times here) spin.

bennysotopromo Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 God..I never reply to these things..but here we go..Promoting is a tough job..a lot less glamorous than people think..a lot of details to worry about..and more often than not..except for the really big promoters..the financial rewards can be just ok. It is really important to be teachable and open to learning and making mistakes. I don't know everything about the scene..there are sooo many DJ's now..I can't possibly know everyone...so don't be afraid not to know something. AND be prepared to make mistakes and have failures..when u do fail get right up and keep it moving..and remember there is a whole world out there outside of this small world we call club land..try and get out once in a while. God I sound so old! But I guess it comes from the school of hard knocks..good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikdondadon22 Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 I dont go through promoters...they are a waste of time...I just mention the Clubplanet guestlists and I always get let right in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverbull Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 aka "pull a bull"What parties have i promoted for pacha exactly? Remember Stimulus Response was not created at Pacha but was asked to be exclusive at pacha after 5 succesful parties at other venues theres a difference. Also dont forget the parties i did at Love and use to work with at Le souk. So again please tell me what parties i have "promoted" for pacha? Maybe it will happen but tell me when it has happened?
