Promoting in Northern New Jersey

So I thought I'd start my TA forum adventure with a complicated and hopefully not futile exercise in making things happen/dreaming...

Where am I heading... TO NEW JERSEY (start fist pump now).

To preface this all I want to say I'm fairly new to the area!

I'm interested in being in partnership with professional (key word) promoters to start a weekly in Union County (Elizabeth/Rahway/Westfield/etc...) or Bergen County (Hackensack/Rutherford/Paramus/etc...)

What I dream could work:


  • TARGET: 21+ professionals...they aren't interested in mid-week NYC commutes and although they have money their not interested in NYC big room prices either.
  • MUSIC/SOUND LOGISTICS: House/Trance DJ's (no euro pop crap) - LOCAL LOCAL LOCAL! Need people with sound equipment expertise!
  • LOCATION: I'm thinking the industrial areas of Union/Bergen County could be prime spots. I have some bars in mind - but I'll save that for future communications. Obviously there's a lot involved with this part.
  • DOOR/MANAGEMENT LOGISTICS : Not sure where to start here - other than I know a bouncer - most of this I imagine is really part of the house and the price negotiated with said house.
  • PROMOTIONS: This is where I can actually help the most. I make websites for a living, I've done promotions in radio, I can get my graphic design skills on, etc...

So obviously there's a lot more to discuss and really this is just me putting out feelers/starting the conversation. Its definitely doable, but only with real dedicated people involved.

I hate to sound cliche, but I'm really looking for people who are serious, into our scene, and not into making a quick buck. This could take time to grow (like all good ventures)!

If weeklies like this are already going on without my knowledge in this area (and I have a feeling not) then all I can say is where are you promoting and how can I help!?

I need help TA! Lets make NJ fun again

Reply to this thread for starters or private message me

MODS: please move if this is not in the right area!

a few of us were throwing parties in teaneck under 'four to the floor events' - twice a month, even booked some bigger names. we've been on hiatus for a while though...

you seem enthusiastic, thats a plus. it's definitely do-able as we've tried and succeeded in throwing great trance/house-based parties. maybe it's time to get back in gear... i'm sure the others will see this post (rob, nick, jim feel free to chime in)

I don't have much time to help myself but I wouldn't mind going to events if they were held in Northern New Jersey area.. I live in Wayne and there is practically nothing to do here except bars.

I would def. support this- let us know your progress you never know who may be able to assist. I had checked out those 4 to the floor events and went 2 times to support them, in the end it was just way too trancey for me- my suggestions is bring more diversity and not just house/trance- we need some techno in jersey.- maybe you can look into that spot that they were throwing it in since they are already familiar with the scene. Its a great idea and Im sure will get a lot of support.

How come?

If people get it done in rural sh*t hole towns (name your state) - how come we can't get something started (again) in one of the riches counties in the union?

Can those interested and have experience or at least have something to bring to the table PM me. This will die if I can't get help.

Because its all bout Who You Know in NJ and What You can bring to the table in both promoting and DJing...

as someone like myself who has been very invovled with the NJ Scene, I can that the market is not there like it used to be.

You have to factor alot of demographics into it as well.

Sure small partys may work here and there but if you want to go Long Term in NJ, you need to have a reputable name as the forefront backing your party who promoting it

Quite sad really - but perhaps we can start off small no? Build from there. I mean no disrespect honest, but it's not like we're in the heart of Vegas or Miami where I imagine it really is all about who you know. Perhaps I'm wrong and this is why nothing happens...
