I never grab stuff he writes and post it on here.... but this post was quite informative.
A Few Things About Crobar Ny Last Night
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#1. THANK YOU ALL WHO ATTENDED AND MADE THIS EVENT SO SPECIAL FOR ME!
#2. I am not rating my own set, but I have to share that "personally" I felt it was the best set I have played since the closing of Arc. Somehow, and most DJ's can testify to this, that somehow, you can just tell when you are having a great night and everything is somehow just "working" and you can't explain it? A lot of what we do is taking chances and risks, and playing many tunes in an entirely new way with various styles, different rooms, different cities, different crowds and environments .....
But last night, even the many new tunes that I never even played before were somehow working so well and it was one surprise to me after another! I only wish that I took notes to recall some of the songs that were played together to recall the moments as I am one for never recording (as it just wouldn't BE the same then as that is on your conscience)
Again, I am not saying I WAS GREAT, I am saying "I had a GREAT time" and I definitely know that it was not one of my not so good nights. We all have days like this no matter what our jobs are! Even in the studio or whatever, some days just flow much smoother than others and I am just grateful and sharing that I thoroughly enjoyed playing yesterday at Crobar.
#3. I have to thank all @ Crobar & Eric Ortense, (Tommy, Steve Dash, Mark Devine, Mikey on Lights and Doug Lazer too for the special booth lighting) - for designing it all IN A NY Minute ... That wonderful set-up of a DJ booth! That made ALL the difference as we should all BE comfortable in our workplace and everything was set up just right for me. I have not one complaint! The monitors were phenomenal! Between Spirit & Crobar, it just doesn't get much better as all these guys, including Mike Bindra of course, along with Steve Dash Audio and their employees, they know exactly what us DJ's need to make our jobs as professional as can be.
#4. I AM SO SORRY, AND I WAS SO SAD AND DISAPPOINTED TO HEAR ABOUT THE NONSENSE OUTSIDE Wow! This was terrible to hear about these JERKS fighting AND with the Police!!! How stupid are these people???
A fight got Out Of Control and a huge amount of people suffered as the result!
The cops were just about to close the club but the management professionally dealt with it. It just would have been completely unfair to everyone had the club gotten closed due to a fight out in the street. So, the police and club agreed "no more entries" as the place was already full to capacity and that was that. So, I am sorry to all who came after 5am, hopefully this will never happen again.
#5. I will defend everyone else here and say "Stop stereo-typing" everyone that goes to Crobar as if this is the only venue in the world with "undesirable" people in it! NONSENSE IS EVERYWHERE! In every city and country!
NY has 20 MILLION people in it ..... No need to elaborate much here......
The people and the party from what I observed from the booth from 12am until 2PM was wonderful. (when you consider the magnitude of this event and capacity of the room)
This could have happened anywhere last night and you all know it .... It could have been Spirit, Ikon, Roxy .... Wherever .... It could have been ANY DJ and so on ....
So in defense of all nightclubs, please don't blame them IT'S THE IDIOTS OUT THERE TODAY WHO WERE RAISED BY MAGGOTS WHO DID NOT TEACH THEM HOW TO "BE" AND HOW TO NOT "BE" Simple as that!
#6. I am sorry about them raising the door cover to $60.00! Now THAT was tired! And this happens everywhere as well. I AM ON IT! AND THIS WILL NOW BE A NEW THING IN MY CONTRACTS! I had a few texts during the evening and some e-mail's today and this is just wrong and unfair and greedy!
IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN AT ONE OF MY EVENTS .... I cannot BE 100% SURE of this, but I assure you it is once again noted and from this day forward, it will be a HUGE issue initially as I personally will speak to each club owner/s & promoters to be re-assured of this for MY clientele! Again, I apologize on their behalf.
((((( NO MORE DOOR PRICE INCREASES DURING THE NIGHT )))))
It is nothing but "W R O N G"
That's about it for now ......
I am leaving for Miami tomorrow to go right into the studio to finally finish DIBIZA and a collaboration between Chus & Ceballos and myself. Details in separate thread soon.
Peace and thank you all once again for making this birthday so special.
UNTIL WE RE-UNITE NEXT MONTH ON APRIL 15th ONCE AGAIN @ SPIRIT FOR OUR 1 YEAR ARC REUNION >>>>>>>>>
Love to all and BE safe driving ------> and BE safe in everything else ......
SEE YOU IN MIAMI @ THE WAREHOUSE!
