Tips and tricks on throwing smaller dubstep shows/raves?

[step correct]

I beleive I have him on Facebook. Is he local out here? Our parties have been doing well! Come out and play one sometime!

In the course of four odd years we went from throwing 30 people parties in little coffee houses and warehouses to 200 + in the nice bigger clubs downtown. With a full fledged little mini scene, producers, DJs, Dancers..etc.. So just because you are in a remote area or a small town doesn't mean it can't be done. It actually can really work to you and your crew's advantage.

I throw parties in Santa Barbara.. let me know if you want any help/advice.

Did you throw one recently with a flyer which read "did someone say MOAR BASS?" at the top of it? I was in SB not a month ago and saw that. Small world.

not being rude bro... but my advice find a 10 x 10 room cram it with people.

dubstep is a personal music, your taking about throwin a festival!!!

Aaahhh Yeah the tattoo dude. Yeah he's cool peeps man. So many people moving here right now that are already involved in other scenes in one way or another. Good times in the little beach town that could right now.

I was once at an insane techno rave in Santa Barbra. It was in a big garage close to the university. Santa Barbra does good work

Ya man it was a fatty poster, I gotta say nice work. Downtown was neatly saturated with dubstep flyers that day.

[step correct]

We have a wicked street team but most of the downtown stuff I do.. (I work right there) . Also we get tons of posters and fliers made. . standard.

The ball is creeping forward ever so slowly.. It's gonna be a renegade

I'm so fucking excited.

Hell ya thanks man. I did have one correspondence which seemed to be going well until he inquired as to what kind of music would be played, he ended the discussion after I mentioned electronic music

Since you're here, how big of a speaker system should I rent for say an acre large warehouse? Is there any place in particular I could rent some lights from? I'm thinking I could start at music stores but I doubt they would have sick laser show equipment.

Visuals aren't that big a deal when it comes to dubstep, unlike trance/hardstyle.etc. where light shows are part of what make it amazing. Dubstep however, it's almost entirely about the music and creating that underground vibe. Keep your lighting simple but the attractions many (good local talent plus some interstate talent or international if you can afford it). The states have some AMAZING producers there (you guys are so lucky!) you shouldn't have a hard time in getting some fairly good west-coast locals playing at your gig

Best of luck to you!

PS - rent your equipment. More often than not it can come with insurance in case something happens - every now and then at an event things get stolen. If your friend's equipment goes belly up - guess who he's going to expect to foot the bill.

Hey guys im new on this forum, i want to make an awesome rave to but i dont know how people will think of comming if they read on the flyers "electronic even"
it sounds like a lame show, dont u think so?
i tried to rent today a cool warehouse but the guy told me he rants the place only for year or more, its hard to find not expensive place in my town... and the only awesome talent is Borgore and im not sure he would play for not so much money, so what u think of it guys???
any help will be great and by the way AWESOME forum.
