It’s kinda wild to me when I book a dj , and then at the night of show , I try to say hi to them and they brush me off and shade me. Sadly this happens almost solely with queer DJ’s in particular.

NYC nightlife has never been as robust as it is now. There are so many amazing clubs in Brooklyn with fresh + legendary talent stacked in their lineups. The community around nightlife has never felt better. Paragon, Public Records, Good Room…. There’s also a myriad of

Looking back at Output’s line ups, we was truly bless with such a venue going through RA’s past events section on events. I literally recall most nights I spent there especially on The Roof. I miss that venue and the community it had. NYC needs another Output.

Dear nightlife people, being emotionally reactive to every little thing is unprofessional. Learn how to separate your feelings from your work or you make the environment around you toxic and unbearable. This is what’s separates the amateurs from the pro’s.

Let’s be hella clear , if your a Dj that refuses to promote to your own fans I (and most other bookers) will never hire you again. It’s all part of it. It’s the most direct access to your fans to know what’s happening.

I’ve been working in NYC nightlife for 15 years. I assure that that being a relatively new / young dj + signing your life away in your own hometown to play 4x a year at 1 small to mid size club isn’t helping your career or bank account. You should be playing as much as possible

Nothing makes me more heated than DJ’s who give attitude or are mean to venue staff. Door ppl, bartenders , barbacks, bussers and security quite literally get abused by patrons on a regular basis and have to internalize it. They shouldn’t be taking it from the talent as well.

One of the “other clubs” that say the word “community” a lot seems to think it’s appropriate to wildly underpay DJ’s and slap a radius clause that allows no announces in New York City until after their show date no matter when the next show is …so many “community” vibes here.

Most venues/ large promoters / entities aren’t dialed into the fact they should be paying and sending their bookers to major festivals to network and discover on their behalf. The amount of talent + agents you can get face time with is all time high and worth its weight in gold

Dear DJ’s and artists - I promise you that some of your agents don’t even show you the offers their getting for you to play. If you ever wonder “why haven’t I ever played at XX” before you think it’s because you haven’t been asked , check in on your agent.
