Why was the venue empty with Oliver Klein and why was it full with Oscar G?

A few months ago I started promoting parties with international DJs. In our first party we had Oliver Klein, about 200 people came. Then we had Oscar G and it was packed, 800 people came (It's a small venue, total capacity around 900). I live in El Salvador, Central America were the Electronic Movement is just starting, but HOW DO WE GET PEOPLE TO APPRECIATE GOOD MUSIC? Personally Oscar G sucked horribly. He started playing electro-salsa, in the middle he played Dark Beat which he remixed it for more than 10 minutes, then I left.
We have had open bars, 2 drinks for the price of 1, dancers, live shows, laser shows, and whatnot... people still don't go
I'd like to hear your opinion on what can be done so people stop looking for commercial DJs and start appreciating good underground DJs that have the best music.
This is a list of SOME of the DJs we've brought and if the party was a success of failure.
Ivano Bellini - Success
Oscar G - Success
Oliver Klein - Failure
MoShic - Failure
Austin Leeds - Failure |

1) Advertising: you need to let people hear about your product and know more about it. How can they be willing to see Oliver Klein if they never heard a tune from him? He needs to be "cool", you see?
2) Cultural aspects: you can't change peoples' minds in a heart beat. Of course electro-salsa will be popular in Central America; I go nuts myself whenever I'm listening to tribal techno and there's something that sounds like samba. People won't listen to electronic music unless they're used to it (and sometimes blending it with non-electronic music is the bridge between the two forms of music).
3) If you disagree with #1 (which would turn underground dj's into something very commercial), try to reach the people who listen to electronic music in your city. Spread the word amongst them. They're your target after all :) |
