thats so true.I have never heard anyone play disco house at any of the "house" clubs I was at. They say chicago is home to house muisc but to listen to the various "sides" of house in a club in the city I find it lacking. It would be cool to find a club or venue that really makes an effort share and explore the music.
an interesting story I'd like to share concerning this.....
A few months back I was speaking to the club owners of so#$@ b#$, d$ma#e, and tr#$# n@##club in chicago ( all seperatly of course). I was speaking to them because I was hoping to get a gig their playing my music. All the owners said they loved my sets but thought my style of music on the cd's ( prog. /euro trance, and prog house) would not fly in thier clubs or in the city in general. They both went on to tell me that the majoirty of clubs in the city try to cator to the suburban kids that come into the city on the weekends. They try to play music that they beleive these people will like , such as hip hop and fimilar house music and of course old 80 and 90 fav's. They the owners told me that their primary concern is about getting $$$ form bar sales and not trying to change the music scene or exposing people to new music. They went on to tell me that in thier expereince successful club build an image and work that image to their favor.Usually this image is created by hype, location, people going to the club, etc. Rarely , in thier opinion does a club create an image around the muisc they play. Without going on forever w/ this tread they basically told me that Chicago is not the place for me as a dj to play music. They suggest I go to NYC, Miami, or CA.They explained how the midwest or chciago specifically is not the place where people and clubs focus on music or care for the music. So as you can imagine I was left feeling pretty ty but thought there was hope for maybe someone like myself or someone elso to change this "club culture" by opening up a differnt type of club
Interested to hear what you other TA might think from these comments |
