I think if someone gave him a proper venue/price/promotion he would def come back. |
Some DJs are known-enough and big-enough in New York City, and some aren't, that's all I'm going to say...
On the general topic, I'm going to have to side with Zack on this one, there's so much to take into account when doing parties, things that 20 people on a message board can't affect. There are questions like: is this venue in a part of town where people will pass by and maybe be curious to enter? does this venue have enough walk-in traffic to justify bringing a more underground DJ that isn't too known? When I look at two of my own parties, the TNY with Talla 2XLC, etc., and the Shelter with Preach, those are two opposite examples... One with mega walk-in traffic regardless of the party, which was a negative... And the other with absolutely no walk-in traffic for the music we had brought there that night. Sure, one can always get a few ideas here and there, but a few posts on TA praising Menno doesn't mean anything in the grand scheme of things when all is said and done, the expensive euro (not dollar) fee is paid, and he is behind the booth of some of these clubs in a city that doesn't know him... Not to single him out, and not to sound like such a downer, but it's an unfortunate reality that some random DJs in Brooklyn, Westchester or Staten Island have more of a pull in this city than 80% of the DJs listed... wish the situation were different, but I also wish luck in whoever does parties (and support whoever I can, because I know what it's like to be in those shoes)...
