YES! I LOVE THEM!

I just asked my friend Adrian to get an idea of how much they would charge. I will get back to you as soon as I find out

Their Future Sound Of Eygpt Show from 4-24 is AMAZING.

agreed, we forget that this forum itself doesnt bring in 500 people to each event, so what people here wanna see doesn't necessarily make for a successful event.

That is true, but there are reasons some promoters can bring more people to an event than others. Promoting an event is no different than selling any other product. Just because you have a quality product doesn't mean someone will buy it. You have to go out there and sell it. There are people with the ability to sell shit for top dollar. It seems that many of the promoters just expect people to go to an event because the DJ is present. There are very few products that can sell like that. Some hard leg work can go a long way.

Agreed, it's better than any ASOT episode Armin has put out in well over a year.

Originally posted by DJ Eco I gotta take a raincheck on this, sorry guys (bring it up in the Made forums haha)... Yes, they're from Egypt and booking price might be lower, but we're talking about two round-trip tickets from Egypt (at least 1000$ each), and two hotel rooms, and that alone is enough to make my wallet cringe lol... Sorry y'all, maybe another time though!

probably more doable if they're touring the US, or already booked for gigs in other US cities

On my part, I'm the full embodiment of what you're saying. For better or for worse, half the people at the Martin Roth party knew who Martin Roth was, and the same goes for the Talla 2XLC/Vic/Funabashi. However, there's only so far us promoters can go. Your reply highly oversimplifies the art of throwing an event. I have dozens of guys that push tickets, thousands of dollars go into online promotions and heavy flyerboy distro, so no, I agree that the DJ itself doesn't sell an event, but there's only so much you can do to push an event to people, relative to what the cost is. We can't bring EVERY DJ that we wanna see, there is a certain line that is crossed between something being a "risk" and something being "way too much of a risk". There's a certain amount of profitability to keep this party-machine going. Hope that explains things

Funny you should mention ASOT. They will be playing ASOT 300. Looking at their gig schedule it looks like they do mostly radio shows or mixes for afterhours.fm, di.fm and the like. Trance is HUGE in Israel and right next door to Egypt. No gigs there for a variety of reasons.
