Congrats on the many parties u have thrown but I call absolute bollocks on a few considering World of DNB is throw by Dj SS and prior to him it was filled with all of Mihai's talents [aka the entire DNB Stage at Ultra in 04 and 05) LTJ and Conrad is also one of Mihai's artists.

What does the booking agent have to do with who throws the party? Who do you think promoters typically book the artists from?

And for the record, I booked Danny (LTJ) directly from himself since he and I are friends and WODB I book from SS direct (also a personal friend). Never had to go through booking agents on either of these tours/artists.

First off, this should've went under the WMC 2009 thread.


Secondly,

quote:

no one even comes for the actual conference

^^not true


Hatter, you used to throw parties. Great. You used to have a website and a production company. Fantastic. But please, get over yourself. If you put this effort into keeping madhatterradio.com going, your rep would speak for itself and you wouldn't have to mention you and Danny LTJ go "Way back" and you and SS "are like dis yo"

Okay, so congrats on being friends with dj's but I know SS doesn't come to Miami *outside of wmc* unless it's a few month before cuz he's gotta get stuff ready for that WMC party. SO i know u have nothing to do with wodnb. Mihai prob finds him the club and SS gets the same dj's to spin every year.


But again - congrats on probably throwing awesome all ages parties/raves in the northern part of s. fla.

Just please.. worry about ur parties.. and stop starting rumors. That's all I'm trying to get at.

Let's close it cuz stupid retards like you have nothing better to do than talk the same ol bull shit every year.

Over and over.. We've heard it before.

Why don't we worry about it.. If u want to EVEN worry

WHEN
IT
DOES
Happen*?* Is that so difficult to comprehend? Keep throwing ur wack ass parties with dj's that can't produce for shit. You aren't shit buddy. Remember that.

You *might* know some ppl who know some ppl and yet you think you are the dance community KING.


edit - of course ppl come to conference for the conference but a majority of ta's come for the parties.

My rep does speak for itself. I have absolutely nothing to prove. I do think its funny that internet warriors that have NO IDEA like to talk like they have a clue on how events are produced or thrown. That dj is "Mihai's artist". What does that have to do with anything.

Fucking morons....

It proves that YOU DON'T THROW THE ONLY World of DNB party in the year. Just cuz you know SS.. if that's even true.. doesn't mean it's your party

Rumors are rumors, take it for what its worth. I hear so many of them at nightclubs I tend not to listen to be honest. I have heard about the Ultra thing quite a bit as of late so I thought I would share.

Only time will tell right?!

You are right Mel, the past few years, it has been more of a party>conference thing.

Getting an event going is not rocket science. Why are you making it seem like that? you book a DJ, you get a place to have him play, you dance, you clean up, you pay bills, rinse and repeat if desired. The hardest thing about events is $$$ and contracts; you build it up to be some huge thing because it's something you know/knew how to do for a bit, a few years back, or something like that... Please link me to this monstrous parties you do all the time, it will just get this over with. Even if you just google madhatterradio.com, all it shows is that your website closed or got cut off (maybe from not being paid) in 2007. Please show me something with madhatter 2008 on it to just put me in my place. To "own" me. But do it in the next hour, cause I'm actually going out to club and spread rumours (It's my favorite thing to do )

You being a "dj" I would expect more from you llavo. The hardest thing is contracts and $$$$??? Is that what you believe? That is the easiest part about event coordination. HOW ABOUT BLOODY PROMOTION? Now that is where the challenge comes in. Putting people in a club and packing it out consistantly. How about coordinating flights, hotels, ground transportation, sound system rig rentals, laser rentals, security personal and bar staffing. How about making sure your event doesn't clash with that of another promoter and split the crowd so to speak. There is a lot of things that make up a successful party that people seem to think are quite easy but require a good bit of time, energy and expertise. I negotiate contracts for a living so that part is not a challenge for me personally.

We have retired, it is no secret. I invested more than $200k of my personal money to build some really special events in Atlanta. Not for profit, but because I felt there was a void at that time in Atlanta nightlife. I am a finance director by day and love dance music and took the leap and had a lot of fun doing it. I still communicate with booking agents and club promoters from around the country that have become friends over the years. Call it a hobby if you will.

We aborted the maddhatterradio name when we ceased our internet broadcasting and continued in our quest for solid event production and artist management. We then became MaddHatter Promote Group.

I am still involved in coordinating talent for events in the south east and assist with placement of artists from time to time in Atlanta and Charlotte for other promoters & nightclubs.
