bubbhasdance Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 (edited) Hello, don't know if anyone knows me in these parts, I never really post here, as I don't write music and stuff. Anyway, I play most acid/breaks kind of music, and I think I'm getting to the point where I would like to try my hand out in clubs and the like. The problem is that most clubs around where I live (southern US) play mostly hiphop (rare, but there) or "indie"/80s (majority). Just looking to see if anyone on here has had this problem, and what have they done to attempt to solve this. Idk, I'm rambling a little, but I look at places such as Austin, L.A., Dallas, Memphis, and there is a strong electronic sound in these cities...is moving my only step to fixing this? lolzzzzzz edit: there may be one club/live music place nearby that would possibly go for this type of music, as people like Prefuse, Jem, and Dr. Octagon have all gone there before...idk /ramble Edited March 10, 2010 by bubbhasdance Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide bubbhasdance's signature Hide all signatures THATS HOW U NO U GOD WHEN YOU GOTA MODEL AND SHE THROW UP ON YO DICK BECAUSE ITS SO BIG AND YOUR IN A LIMO GOING TO A LIL B CONCERT - Lil B Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/54168-a-dilemma/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make yourself a mix CD/tape/wax cylinder and hussle hussle a little. Or even better, promote some shows yourself. You get to choose who plays, give yourself a sweet set and you might even make some cash. If there's nothing around now then that's an opportunity I reckon, not a sign that no-one wants it.

bubbhasdance Posted March 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 (edited) edit of first post: Jel, not Jem My ideal step would be to promote some shows, etc. myself, and play what I want to play. There's quite a large following for electro/disco (think Daft Punk, Justice, Boys Noize) here, and I think if I had the right connections/budget, I could definitely get a good bit of people to enjoy the music I like. Any tips/sites on promoting your own shows? EDIT: Just remembered about dj tech tools, seems to be right up my alley. thanks for the idea!

soundwave Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 do a mix and host it on soundcloud then get on facebook and spam the local clubs that may have punters who'll most likely have an ear for the kinda shit your into and see the reaction it's also good to be as anonymous as possible until you need to be so a pseudo name of sorts would be in order facebook is a good promotion tool if you can photoshop pretty promo flyers and build the hype Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/54168-a-dilemma/#findComment-1266316 Share on other sites More sharing options...
