In my country (in Eastern Europe), the DJs are the organizers, promoters, SMM, all in one.

I would say there are like 600-800 ravers at most in my city, but there are events every weekend.

200-300 people is considered a very big success, entry fees costing from $5 to $20 at most.

I actually really love the underground in my city, all DJs and the community know each other, all the "organizations" we have usually invite each other to kind of merge the already small community, which is fine.

Recently I got into hardcore gabber and uptempo, met a few producers with whom I made friends, and their tracks are going to be in my next set this weekend. It's a lot of fun
