If a DJ posts stuff, if an employee of Moes complains....FINE, give us your opinion...give us your thoughts. Thats not what happened here....you heard something from someone and posted it here. The point is a lot of people do this WAY to much. If you dont know, if you werent part of it...then dont post it and cause drama.
If Moe screwed me....it would be posted and I would be bitching (and plenty of DJs have called out promoters on these boards....)...I think if YOU get screwed you SHOULD tell people....myspace bulletin that shit...everyone should know if a promoter does something blatantly shady.
Next; you are right....almost...I called up the Anthera and was like "BITCH GIMME YOUR DATE....." NOT (anthera is a good friend...thats why I used his name..haha) Someone wants to run the "calender" here in LA. I wanted a date - that date is taken. So I emailed the person who is working on straightening out dates (which is a good thing, so parties dont run against one another) and said
"I want this date, but I am pretty sure someone else has it. I need a date within a THREE MONTH time frame (i said September to the end of November)...Ill take any date that isnt right before a massive - or I have to run on said date " (almost exactly what I said, some info was omitted to keep other crews out of this thread)
What it comes down to is no one OWNS any date. Its just BAD business to run against someone (i passed economics class!) so I gave the person running the calender a three month span to give me a date that no one was using...sounds plenty fair to me. I had one requirement, it not be before a massive....so I think that is plenty fair for everyone right?

Winter is right about the whole date thing. Sometimes you have no idea who is throwing which party on whatever date. When i threw my party, we looked about 4 months ahead, called around to see if anyone had that date, then picked it. 2 Weeks later we find out that someone else (KOTC) was throwing one of their big parties (Miles of Smiles) on that same date. This caused Energy to kick our promoters out of his parties and a lot of mud slinging on and off the boards, but it was no ones fault that we both picked the same dates. Like Winter said, no one "owns" certian dates although you're not going to throw a party on the same day as Monster Massive, EDC, or Nocturnal Wonderland.
As for IT Productions...............the check thing, yeh dude, you can deposit a US check ANYWHERE lol.....that was a dumb thing to say bro. As per Mo screwing his DJ's, he does that to atleast 1 DJ every party he throws so that's not anything new. Everyone talks shit about IT productions, I hate IT productions, but a lot of you who talk shit on them still shell out $50+ dollars for their parties then bitch about it after you go and get dissapointed. I will never go to one of their parties.........unless they get someone from Nukleus Records........but the odds of that are 1:1,000,000,000 so i'm ok.
