Hello All,
New to this forum; its brilliant though to find a place where so many questions I've wondered are being asked. Good to know I'm not alone.
I've been trying unsuccessfully for a couple of months now to land gigs. As such I'm toying with the idea of starting my own club night. At first I'll do a one off, see how it goes and hopefully build from there.
Electro is my first love (think 2manydjs, Erol Alkan, Fake Blood, Ed Banger Recs, Tiga). But have recently been converted to the rapidly growing Electro-Swing scene.
I thought since this is a developing genre, has a lot of novelty appeal in the 20s/30s theme, costumes etc it would be a good market to go for. In particular I thought students would be a good target audience. They like fancy dress, are more open to something different, this would also mean we could also do it through the week (less venue hire costs, and hopefully less competition).
Unfortunately I've only been in London a few months and know very few people, never mind DJ's. I also know little about the general scene i.e. popular/appropriate venues.
So.....if you are a keen DJ in Electro-swing and/or someone who has a decent knowledge of the London clubbing scene and would know good venues please give me a shout. Hopefully we can make this happen.
Peace out
