At least he knows all about the DJs he is booking!

through them applying to him and not hunting em down

how do I fill out an application to play his night?

It just gets worserer and worserer....Needs to be named and shamed imo.

Well, it's not like he'll be promoting for long.

realistically, there's probably, 500,000+ people in america, that caught on to dubstep in the last two years. a different wave and dose of the original strain of dubstep, and don't have the first clue about its connection and growth through the dark garage/2step/jungle era. there's americans i've talked to and asked regularly about their first experience with the sound, and over and over, its Caspa/Rusko/DoctorP/Borgore/Skrillex/Nero/Diplo, etc. This is how they first heard it. Now, that said, there's so many parties in america that play all styles within the sound, but generally the under 21 crowd that want a powerrave dubstep experience on a friday night in 2011, full of big drop after big drop, don't know, and don't care that there's an evolution to it. their barometer for bass music is the biggest drop at 140bpm. only a small percentage would probably delve further. this is just the cold hard reality. my experience here in nyc in the last 8 years of seeing parties, is that there's the same width of musical styles represented by different promoters, but again, most have never been to london enough nor listened to rinse and its evolution through 2003-2011. thats not to make their experience less valid or handicapped, but its a different experience. understand that you guys in the UK, grew up with an evolutionary dance culture, where one sound influenced another in a viral direct marriage. in america, unless you live in a big city, you either grow up with top40 pop, rock/metal or rap/rnb. we never had anything like the reggae/jungle/ hardcore continuum over here. jungle was a tiny scene relative to everything else in america. dubstep is the only real UK dance music export thats ever impacted america in such a large crossover way. even at the height of drum and bass in america, it never caught on the way dubstep has. go have a look at the north american east/west event sections, and you can see how big its become this year. in NYC or LA, its easy to sell out 1500-2500 capacity venues on a friday night. skream played a show in denver this summer for 14,000. you guys grew up on sound system culture in the UK. we have NOTHING resembling that here.

Did find this picture of him;

seckle you took this thread a bit too serious i think

This isn't a discussion about what is/isn't Dubstep though - the genre is in fact largely irrelevant. If any DJ had said basically "Fuck turntables" and come across as a clueless & cash hungry, then it wouldn't have mattered if he was talking about Dubstep, house, trance or anything else. It's the attitude towards music/promoting in general that is the issue here, not the ethnicity or genre.

"Im a dancing musical troll, and I spin/mix/destroy/make sweet passionate love to tracks.
BOOKING? ILL DJ FOR ANY EVENT!! You can pay me in good times, ketamine, and/or cold hard cash."

i'm just trying to put a context around this ever present rollin of the eyes about americans & dubstep. its not about being serious or not, its just this knee-jerk reaction as of late about UK's musical exports being somehow changed by "america".
