Re: [313] help me i am drowning here

Hey Dustin,
Have you tried telephoning any pirate stations around
your area? That's how I get gigs. I play for free but
it's a start and allows me to play a load of stuff
that I could never play in a club. If you don't know
any pirate stations try asking the dj's at clubs you
go to. You've just gotta have the guts to walk up
thinking you're it and tell 'em so too. 

The only way you're ever gonna get gigs is to be a bit
ballsy and basically kick the dj off the decks and
take over, you know what I mean? Try asking at the
shop(s) you get rekkids from too. Underground stores
tend to have a major link with underground promoters.
Music is a love u c and they're all friends with each
other so you could have a major resource sitting right
in front of you.

Hope that helps... Tho' I spose you've already tried
all this if you're asking the thickies on here;)
Pretty much a sign of desperation if you ask me;)

Good luck,
Nick Walsh(DJ Pacific;),

You have to remember what state he is talking about.  In Florida if its not 
breaks, prog house, ragga jungle, or prog trance no one will  listen to you.  
There used to be a few 'underground' stations on am but those have since gone 
off the radio.  Electronic music down there is ususally drug and rave 
related.  Theres not even things  like deep house or funky disco house for 
that matter.  I go and visit central fl where I used to live many times a 
year and I always basicly have to force people to listen to the 313 
techno/electro I bring for them.  They have caught onto ghetto tech but now a 
few have been asking me for tapes and cds which is a start.  It will be very 
hard to bring actual techno into the central fl area.  Techno to people down 
there is breaks or any other type of electronic music.  Most have no 
knowledge to  an actual genre of techno.  They have just started catching on 
to 'plasticman' as they spell it.
  My best advice is to give some tapes out to the club promoters and tell 
them to listen to it and keep listening to it over and over untill they like 
it.  Once you have them liking your stuff then you will get others to.  Much 
luck to whoever in Fl now is trying hard to bring any  other type of music 
into Fl because it will be a fairly difficult task.
