...the amount of times i got my friends come out and watch me play to an empty room...its disgusting, lol. i am forever greatful for my wonderful friends who have supported me over the years.

now that i get to play to rooms with people in them its generally easier (and i dont feel as bad) convincing people to come. but i still find it can be hit and miss. it also helps to cycle through different groups of friends. knowing who is likely come to what place/event.

but also it is important to know it takes time to build a following. meeting new people at events and chatting to them, and making a contact so hopefully they will come out to the next one. i only have so many friends, so bringing the same 20 people over and over, they're not always going to be able to make it, and nor should they. network network network.

edit..oh and it helps if your friends drink a lot. lol

House is not just a groove. House is a feeling. And when u feel it, you will understand... house music gets you up and makes you high...

How many weeks is this going on for?

I totally agree with all of them ^^^^

As well, there are so many great DJ's out there right now that if your not willing to promote yourself than you just won't get noticed. I know quite a few guys who sit at home waiting for the phone to ring.......and it never does. Why?....not becasue they aren't talented DJ's but becasue nowone knows they're out there.

The Basement Wed parties are a huge opportuntiy for lesser known DJ's to get a chance to not only play, but to be apart of building a night as well. Trust me, I can speak of expereince here. You help THEM out and they will help YOU out in return. Those guys have been so good to me becasue I was willing to put in that extra effort to help them out. Now I'm one of the crew and I play regular spots on Suns....

............and still do whatever I can do help......
