I'm trying to set up some kind of music night in South London on a weekly / fortnightly basis. I've been involved in a few nights before in Dublin a couple of years ago - mainly album launch nights.
What I think would be interesting is a night where dj's playing varied sets could play. I like the idea of people playing diverse kinds of dance (in the most catholic sense) oriented tunes and sets. I'm a bit tired of going to a place and it’s the same tempo or style of music all night. Most of the pubs and clubs I go to I already know what to expect and think that using a kind of universal dance theme is something that's not really happening. I loved the contrast in styles that you would get in clubs in the 80’s.
Does anyone think there is much scope for this? There may already be nights doing this kind of thing, but I haven't come across them living in London over the past couple of years.
Any feedback, advice – especially around promotion and dealing with venues would be welcome.
