I was browsing across this forum for weeks now and I saw this topic even before I had the chance to introduce myself! I think it's a pity to see such names as Amadeus being used only to warmup for "big name" artists. It's a shame that our dear organizers never thinked about giving those local talents a proper gig for themselves. we see big djs come and go but where is your support for your own DJs? yalla 7ayalla put warmup and followup like batata. if amadeus is not available let's get jojo, if jojo is not available let's get haifa wehbe!

it is time to stop USING your best local talents as warmups especially for unknown, yes unknown DJs (such as the sleepless series DJs) and give them their own gigs, and i'm sure you'll get twice as much people in those events if not more.

wake up organizers! if you ever will...

last but not least: Michel de heyyyyyy fhemto 3layyeh? (joke )

guys guys plz dont get me wrong! all i was trying to say that:

instead of flooding the country with 9 weeks of mainly house DJs in a row and getting such a low attendance (2 weeks now and michel de hey was a disaster attendance wise compared to andy moor and chris lake), just work on a few gigs for big internationally known and equally HOUSE AND TRANCE DJs AND WORK on a couple of local events for your local talents such as Amadeus, big events yes! and you would get a bigger response from Lebanese people supporting Lebanese DJs. now what's wrong in doing that?

Centro, gallery or whatever are small clubs with a joke organization. our talents need something big too, didnt Amadeus get into the top 100 DJ poll because he's gone international too? and what about the others too? so let's honor them and give them something proper!! keep the international DJs coming but not with such a faulty strategy, 9 weeks of house in a row (with an exception of a trance night?) trance only comes with the heat and the summer? byimshe 3al ta2ess ye3neh? house is for the winter?
i hope you got my two points here: give your local talents the big gigs with MAIN sets that they earn and stop doing such sleepless nights of worry when the night is going to end!!!

thank you all for your comments and JAD 3/4 of those DJs were spinning before I was born and you know what? my dad was a DJ too and he used to spin before I was born too! so, they're still spinning and it looks like the spinning isnt getting them anywhere in Lebanon i'm sorry you dont educate the scene by imposing such events with UNDERGROUND names. let people hear about them first, educate them and introduce them then book them to Lebanon not this way: hey this is michel de hey come pay 30$ to see who he is and if u dont like it try the week after with another 30$ and the one after with another 30$ what do you think??
