no, dont get me wrong, i totally agree. naming it "Sensation" is more trouble than its worth, thus ive been thinking of "Fire and Ice", "Heaven and Hell", etc. no worries, i agree with u guys 100%, and i dont want legal problems with ID-T either, so im hoping the DJs i plan on booking can speak for themselves and draw a big crowd (which im sure they will) |
I'm not sure how much experience you have in throwing parties but becareful. If your party flops you'll have a nice sum to pay for these DJs. Like many big named DJs who have agencies, there are usually certain requirements they have regarding the night. I see specifically the examples you've shown seem to put you on the same card as them. If my hunch is correct you are trying to self-promote yourself as well. I'm not hating on that fact, do so, but I'm sure Roxy doesn't have their resident DJ open for Armin, Carlcox, Tiesto...etc. I think the falsehood lies in that. The dream of being on the same card as another high profile DJ isn't going to get you the recognition by being the sole party thrower. The logic is right and I understand what you are trying to accomplish but just know that the people on the other side, the booking agency, probably wouldn't spring for it. You want to bring big names to the city, you want to bring solid preformances, you need to have a stacked wallet to obtain the venue, the marketing tools, and the nightlife pull.
Alot of large scale clubs, crobar, roxy, spirit, all have music coordinators who do the bookings and promotional copy. I'm simply trying to prevent you from digging yourself into a grave. But who knows, I don't know you nor do I know your budget. You don't want to bring O'Bir or DJ Montana here who is gonna cost you $3,000 for his night which is feasible before you consider the venue's cost, the marketing cost. There is alot of variables to having a nightlife event trust me I know...I've had my share of doing parties.
Victor's parties are great for him, he has the spot the sound and the audience. Same with TFST, they have the Djs the venue and the following. Most people who aspire to throw a party is for themselves to be heard at a gig. Those are the people who want to play for an audience but hasn't gotten the chance to do it. By organizing your own party you need to seriously consider alot of things. Money is a BIG BIG factor, effort in your group to do the same, promotional copy and cost. Is this a 1 time bang for the buck gig?
I have this feeling you aren't experienced in doing parties (i could be wrong) I have this feeling you are dying for exposure and a good way to get it is by throwing your own party(i could be wrong again) but before all of that, just know that throwing your own party isn't easy man...it's not easy to bring people in...me, TFST, and many other local parties out there know that. The key to having a party for your own promotion (you DJing your party) is to keep it small, cheap, and comfortable. Victor has done it quite successfully, we have accomplished our own as well, and many others like homegrown, and wickedliquid.
Take my advice or not...I'm just looking out dude...there is no quick way to land a gig or make a buck. Gotta work for everything...I've seen it with my own eyes ...
