are there any 'private party' spaces you could use instead?

yes but I lack the funds to do what I could've done with a regular night. the club pays us to set up one night a month, and with the second one it would've been the same. no money out of my pocket. in return, the club gets all the profits aswell.

is the dub ex machina night still going after cabaret shut down?

Man when I lived there I was gonna go to that thing like 3 times but god decided against me by first giving me hardcore sickness when kode9 was there then putting history IGCSE next day when it was pinch and peverelist

I was actually there at both those nights.
promotionwise, they're mainly focusing on their two sporadical techno nights "BOLD" (international guests) and "BOLDINI" (locals). Marius (new.com) is working with a vocalist and two other guys on a live dub/techno thing called "Comfortnoise Ploy" which is wicked, and Guy (guyus) is happily djing all over switzerland; mostly techno and house, I think, but he played a wicked jungle set when we had Om Unit and still plays dubstep aswell. really versatile guys, both of them, with very impressive record collections. (well, new.com ran his own record shop, go figure...)
they set up a (one-off?) "dubexmachina" a couple of months back, but I was in croatia so couldn't attend.

That was a big night! First time I had seen a large amount of females at a dubstep night as well
Bit annoying to not be able to go in December.

To get to do nights with someone elses money would be so good. I love all the organising and shit, we just dont have the funds to do really "big" stuff, like would love to be able to get Rabit over, to have been able to put on the Soundman Chronicles night , epoch/sully/etc jungle clash, Livity sounds night and so on.

Nope weve got about 500 total after rentals and even Mr Mitch and Dark0 want £500 a pop

you were there? wow. how did we not meet? with juan? 100% chance we spoke that night.

make no mistake though, our budget is tight. and we don't make losses.

My best man seems to be completely avoiding me and ignoring my messages, this is troubling me greatly

You know I'm just a plane away. Plus I know spanish from all the childhood hours I spent watching Dora the Explorer

everybody here is just a plane away.

that's ridiculous

yeah 500 is taking the piss. don't pay that.

it confuses me tbh, because it's not like they're gonna bring in £1000s.

how much is an average british dubstep / bass "star" dj's fee? in the realm of kahn and the sorts

200 gunfingers at least its ruff these days

Isn't Kahn a bit above average?

I'd have thought so yeah.

Got absolutely soaked on my walk in, now I'm sat at my desk with wet trousers and socks.

Mechalame.

After talking to a few friends/promoters that have booked Kahn, they all said he is really expensive. Obviously its different in the states, but even relative to other 'comparable' acts.

i can see that, his name on a flyer is definitely more of a draw than most dubstep acts

We've not spoken to him because Bristol adds accom but I would presume around £6-700 depending on Neek or not.
Some people its £150-200, others it goes up to 700.

As riddles said, those guys would not (IMO) bring in 65+ people to cover that kind of cash but a lot of it is trying their and your luck.

A lot of nights that have mad line ups, I have to wonder how they function, like with 5-6 guys all big in small venue put on by outside promoters rather than "m8 rates" for label nights

Ha yeah me, riddles and dubluke. We went to some mad party in a squat in berb and then went to zurick and then after pinch guyus took us to a random party then we stayed at his.

My memory's is foggy but pretty sure we didn't meet anyone at the night outside of guyus!
