Ok let’s straighten a few things out this house Music festival is not run by Mix. Now the people who go to these types of festivals, don’t go to clubs and most are in the late ’40s to 60’s age ranges and are black. Most house music events are given by groups & Organizations and held at different venues which could include catering or clubs with some events happening in the daytime. This goes back as far as the 80’s & 90’s as my DJs including myself worked events. Some of my DJs even held their own events. Presently there are two House music outdoor events which happen somewhat regular on Long Island at parks, mainly as family-friendly events. Is it a large market no, are they hoping to make a ton of money, no, are they marketing to the masses, no. If you actually know the history of House & Garage Music you would know what demographic the music appeals to, who is still listens to it in the US and where they would be going to hear House & Garage Music. This year there is also multi-day House, RB & Club event in the Caribbean sponsored by one of the local organizations. Now, internationally it’s somewhat different and more popular as a sub-genre of music where some artists & DJs do still some club spots. As a point of info, Timmy Regisford internationally known DJ dating all way back to the 1980s. We were both doing mix shows for WBLS when the station was 1# in the rates before he became a producer & an artist.
What I don’t get is why you would think Mix and these other DJ should play the music they aren’t interested in or Qualified to play, to play in a place their audience doesn’t go to. Throughout the summer each night they have different ethnic groups playing all different types of music each night. Maybe I should go there and tell them, hey there is no money in this Music, you can’t get a residency playing it, I don’t really listen to this music play something new. Kind of doesn’t sense does it.
