[Dynagroove] club survey

[Brian Cabalic]

I think it's hit and miss...and i agree with Cade, it goes in cycles...

Here's my Observation:

Being from San Diego.. I have this weird expectation everytime I party in LA.  For some reason, whenever I walk into an LA gig, i have this automatic stereotype that everyone attending that party is from the Dynagroove list.  But the reality is, there are people there that attend through word of mouth...other marketing tactics etc.

I guess my point is.. .as a promotor / dj... one shouldn't completely rely on the dynagroove list to pull crowds of 200+. Indeed, sometimes it seems like that is the case.  I'll see someone advertise an event on the dynagroove list...then a week later they're back complaining that only 5 people attended.  

It's almost like there's this reservoir of (say) 2000 house heads.  And every week, the same promotors are competiting to get those same househeads to go to THEIR party.  Target people that don't "know", and that are open-minded enough to want to learn more about house music...As a DJ, i can honestly say that sometimes those are the funnest crowds to play for.  But on the flip side, there's nothing more refreshing than a room full of househeads that know when to whistle or shout whenever there's a change in tempo, a break down, a subtle chord change in the bassline, a soulful vocal...a jazzy riff....etc.  It goes both ways.

Again, i'm not a promotor...that's just my 2 cents.
