DJ's, do you support alot of parties and no support in return..........

[Basecore Boy]

Seem like most DJ's I know say they support other parties and get no support in return.

I hear this alot. I'm not supporting that guy because he doesn't support me.

Stop playin big league and support others. It will go a long way.

unfortunatley this happens a lot more
than people want 2 fess up 2

I think its a simple give & take
but most don't get it

anyways who gives a kcuf anymore?

[Ronnie Ron]

sometimes it takes folks a minute, I dont want to name names because thats not the point, but there were a few DJ's that support our party and i wanted to check them out as well, but it takes time, things happen, your schedule gets all messed up and you just cant make it. This one very well known DJ had been supportin our party for months, and i kept telling him, im gonna make it down to see ya bruh. and it must have taken me about 4 months to finally show up, BUT I DID. so sometimes you have to be a little patient.

Some folks just dont think you are worth there time and thats fine, you just keep it moving.

[Jamie 3:26]

I try to hit events as I can.Due to my family issues,I have not been out mmuch.The set where I have been trying to go for months is Sonotheque.I know Ant puts it down,but something usually comes up...like work.

I hit more south side events and near north events than north side events.I still put the word out on events and send folks up to folks events.It's all about spreading the word for this here,ya dig?

No matter how you sugar coat it it's very competitive field especially when two friends DJ and one gets all the praise and the other is left out it cause for one to be more competitive to move the crowd..Thus I'm not going to let you take away my peeps because you may apeal to them a lil more then me...

A good example was me supporting the parties of a so called friend, yet he and his crowd never once showed that support in return. Not once! However, I looked past it cause I'd rather focus more on the people that do support. I always take care of those that take care of me and I NEVER forget them.

[SENSE MGMT]

I think it's BS to expect someone to come out to your events cus you go to there's or them expecting vice versa. Why do we go out? To have fun! If you have a lame night, don't guilt trip people into coming out to your night. I get enough guilt trips from people telling me to support my "fam" and there is a difference between supporting your scene and wasting money on alcohol to preoccupy your boredom at a venue just cus you want to work off this support your scene fundamental. People have lives to live, papers to do, and work to finish. Or at least people who don't spend all day on message boards :D

And that's a healthier way of looking at it. Show appreciation to the people who do support and understand what you are trying to do. Don't guilt trip everyone else into giving up their hard earned dollar for something they do not find as valuable.

I hate the word "support." Go to a party because it's fun....not because you think you are making some sort of sacrifice for the promoters or the good of the "scene." A good party does not need "support." It creates an audience through good production and promotion.

Go out and have a damn good time! Notice I edited my post and changed the word support to enjoy.

[Gojay]

When I first got on these boards I thought it would be easy to support everyone and everything, But it's not ! Hats off to those that do! But the lack of sleep was affecting my work, family and me! So I never blame anyone for not supporting parties I played at, cause "pimpin' aint easy!". Besides I never thought I was well recieved at a few parties I supported, either by the people running the party or the vibe in it. Now a days I only support DHP parties because I feel as if I belong in some way and the food is great!. All I can say is not to expect anything and give it your all, regardless of who does and does not support!

peace,
gojay

This is interesting, I just wound up a four-and-a-half year party at a local spot. When it came down to the end all kinds of people were like "it's a shame the party's over"....yeah whatever! These are the same people who maybe came once in the last year.....

So if there is a party out there you like, and you want to it to be there when you go out....do take the time to support it, otherwise it may not be there when you're looking for it.

Support is not a bad word, however if you feel obliged to be somewhere, you probably aren't going to have a good time (Reminds me of being forced to go to church.)

Support those who support you, AND have a good time doing it!

PEACE
SIMON

Anybody who knows me, knows I go out to have maximum fun not because he or she is having a party.

The better question might be, if the party is an awesome, stomping party, then why are the other djs not supporting it? Don't bother, I know the answer to this.

[DJJM3.COM]

Its kinda hard to do.....no matter if its weeknight or weekend. If The DJ is playing or doing a studio session the same night as your set, how can he get to your set?

I used to go to the Kasbar parties on Mondays, but when I had mixes to do on Tuesdays and Thursdays that stopped that......

There are a few Jocks like me who have families, a 9-2-5, and DJ/Remix work....aint enough hours in the day............

[DJ Hutch]

support to a dj, how can you support when you got to work at your own club??? djing when you can you can it is hard to do.

[Bill Blake]

This 'support' term has got to be the stupidest ****ng term in the 'house' vocabulary.

[darrow]

I'm amazed at djing adults that can go out multiple times in a week AND also have a gig AND also have a life of errands, chores, and other leisurely activities.

If I'm not spinning, I go out to dance primarily but even then, I'm at the point where I'm only going out once every couple of weeks or maybe even every three weeks. There are times though when I've gone out specifically to show some support (I guess as a sign of moral support), especially when a party is new or the crowd seems to be thin. I think the DJs in those situations feel good and are appreciative when they see people make an effort to come to something that isn't necessarily on the top 10 list of spots to go. Still, even in this case, I go where I know I'll like the music. I'm not showing up at somebody's spot just to hear bad music.

I go where I want to go, see who I want to see, when I want to go, cause its my money, my gas, and my time. I don't tell no one else where to spend their time and don't want anyone telling me where I "need" to spend mine. You'd have to be an unemployed, trust funding living - ass to attend and "support" every party on this and any or any other house board. Stop pressuring people and trying to make people feel bad about where they do their do - that's their business. Many of us are busy supporting the mortgage/rent and whatnot - which comes much higher on the food chain. Get off it!

[Adam Cruz]

I definitely know how that feels, but then again, I, for one, know how hard it is to make every single party you hear about. I try to make it out when I can, but lately it's been harder than ever to see folks at their events. In turn, I can't be salty when folks don't come to my events. Someone said that it's a give and take and I firmly believe that.

It's a hard question to answer really.

[vinny from the Burgh]

Man got lots of friends that are on some different shit. I aint tryin to go and hear some crazy ass music that I don't enjoy. As far as going to support something that I believe in that is cool.
