Guest sfgrl Posted October 18 Report Share Posted October 18 They are trying to make Thursday nights a good house music night and to build momentum. I would catch Behrouz in a small club ten times a month. Why do people have to complain all the time????As someone mentioned above he is the resident there and residents do play more than once a month. Now if your boy Danny Tsetto would play there more than once a month would you be complaining? I dont think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V. Barbarino Posted October 18 Author Report Share Posted October 18 From a business stand point, a club or lounge should go as long as they possibly can before booking any dj... This is club land 101.. The second you book one it's over, you are now forced to book one and the crowd will expect more and more and more until you are paying Morillo 60k to spin. It's still business, these jocks while friends with owners will still charge a boat load, do you want to know why? Because thier booking agency is not going to allow them to take a 2k gig over a 10k gig... In the long run, it's a loosing situation. It also hurts the dj in this very very important market. Over exposure, Behrouz is only hurting himself. Then if he does really well other clubs will start to bid up his asking price, and now his friendship with the owners are strained.. LP has made a career out of fucking with djs and their asking prices when they spin at competing clubs.Mansion paid Morillo a reported double booking fee over space. People we are not talking 1k or 5k, we are talking $60,000! EM would piss on you if you think he'll pass up that kind of money to spin for his "friend." Once LP starts ramming jocks in crobar, he's forced to keep on doing it. Also once he opens up he is going to bid up every djs booking fee around town like the old days. The thing is, LP has owner ship in a few clubs, he has more to offer. Mansion booked very few guest djs for a long time, they were smart, but as time when on they had to offer more, thus why they are in the dj booking business. Mokai, should have stayed on the sidelines for a long long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sfgrl Posted October 18 Report Share Posted October 18 Dude this is only a small club and they are trying to bring a Pure Behrouz residency to Miami for a crowd you are not probably used to seeing. Behrouz is moving to Miami so he most definitely needs somewhere to kick his heels into like his residency at Ruby Skye in San Francisco. Dont apply Club Land 101 to Mokai because they are not aiming for the Space, Twilo or Crobar clientele. Like I said, catching Behrouz at a smaller club is probably one of the most amazing experiences I've had. I'm sure Luis and all the other big clubs will still book him and it's not competition for them if he plays at Mokai. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pod Posted October 18 Report Share Posted October 18 I don't think anyone is worried about the competition factor.From reading the various press releases and so forth, what I gather is that Mokaï is an über-upscale VIP lounge. What Barbarino is saying is that Behrouz would not be appreciated in that venue, since here in Miami, the VIP crowd does not care for house music, nor do they follow DJs. He's not that Behrouz isn't suited for a small venue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest coach Posted October 18 Report Share Posted October 18 The VIP does not care for house music? What VIPs have you been going to? Most of the upscale events that I have been to, nearly all of them, in fact, feature what I would call loungy-house. It may go by some other name, but it is EDM, to be sure, just of a lesser-intensity than a big club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
