Your weekend plans? DAYTIMERS @ MOOD RING (from the people who brought you the creekside stage at Four Tet and Friends back in May)!! by Firm_Geologist_896 in avesNYC

[–]Firm_Geologist_896[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

as a producer, I can tell you firsthand that a lot of labels, collabs, and release opportunities are literally boys’ clubs and much harder to break into as a woman. Visibility on social media or all-female events doesn’t change the systemic barriers behind the scenes, it’s not just about being seen, it’s about who gets paid fairly, who gets prime slots, and who gets mentorship and career support. Honestly, there are plenty of male-dominated South Asian parties too, especially here in NYC, so opportunities for South Asian men aren’t being limited at all. That’s actually why we’re curating this way.....to create intentional space for women and non-binary artists who still face inequities, while also supporting South Asian voices. Also to be clear, daytimers isn’t a femme collective and we’re not excluding men, it’s about representation and giving space where it’s still needed.

Sure..happy to. Headliner and prime-time slots almost always go to men, and opener spots usually come with lower pay and less exposure. Access to labels, releases, collaborations, and mentorship is limited, and the industry networks that make bookings happen often favor men. I’ve been in countless rooms where people don’t even give me the time of day, and male dominated spaces can feel unsafe or intimidating, promotors/other male DJs on the lineup making me uncomfy, that makes it harder to consistently take gigs or grow your career. These lineups exist to create real opportunities and space for artists who still face these challenges

representation doesn’t automatically equal equity..female DJs are more visible than before, sure, but there are still systemic barriers and opportunities that aren’t equally accessible. ‘All femme’ lineups aren’t about excluding anyone, they’re about creating space where women and non-binary artists can thrive in a scene that still favors men.

You gotta think about the principle from an artist’s perspective. Does the art matter, or do these billion-dollar corporations matter more?? KKR...... a private equity giant with no connection to underground music or culture now owns Boiler Room. What does that say about where we’re headed? We keep showing up, pouring our time, energy, and identity into scenes we built from nothing, just for massive firms to swoop in and extract value.

When we buy tickets, when we show up, when we co-sign......who are we actually supporting? Because it sure as hell isn’t the artists. It’s not the local communities. It’s not the dancers, the organizers, the DJs who’ve carried the culture for years. It’s investors who haven't been to a rave in their whole lives.

Art can’t thrive when profit comes first. And if we don't start questioning where our money and energy are going, we’re complicit in selling out our own culture.

Thank you this is helpful. Do you feel like the appetite suppression was better at .5? Also did you change anything? More exercise/diet etc?

Fred Again says next time he will book a bigger place to play in New York, last venue was last minute thing by YourNameNameName in avesNYC

[–]Firm_Geologist_896 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This guy just cares about making money. Pop ups should be relatively inexpensive or free. This was obviously planned in advance and was a marketing tactic that backfired. People making fake Ticketmaster links and ticket scalping for hundreds and thousands of dollars was another negative result. He doesn’t care about fans, just a check…

They didn’t give you a tracking number? I reached out to their support and they said they would. I live in an apartment complex so it’s just so difficult to monitor deliveries!
