I am trying to throw an after party for a music festival, but I have no fancy DJ's or anything. I need to get 100-200 people there, and willing to pay $10-$15 for this party, and at the same time there are parties going on throughout the city with Huge Names at Huge Venues. Can I get some advice on how I can throw a good party in this environment (and maybe make some money?)
A little background info, My brothers have all been bed room dj's but have been branching out lately with small parties and stuff. Of the three of us, only one has actually done some real parties, but he lives in Atlanta and won't attract too much of a following here. We're spinning house, soulful house, deep house, etc. so we should stand out from a lot of the techno and electro that will be big every where (It's the Detroit Electronic Music Festival).
I'd appreciate any info about throwing parties at all as I could get. I read all of the information about building club nights and building reputation as a DJ on the blog here and it was helpful, but some was not applicable since this is a one-time event in a city I don't live in.
