How do you find EDM events?
How do you find EDM events? Posted on: 13.05.2011 by Tynisha Teeman I just moved from San Francisco to Chicago, and know little about the EDM scene here. San Francisco has spoiled me with sfedm.com. I've been scouring facebook.com and going.com, and I now know of a few venues that I'll be checking out. Regardless, I figure this could be a good topic of conversation:Assuming you know nobody in a new city, how do you find EDM events? | |

| Maida Acra 13.05.2011 | hey I live in the chciagoland area! try clubtix.com and reactpresents. I use those two sites to keep up to date on electronic music happening around chicago. |
| Audrey Pinda 13.05.2011 | I actually get the email subscriptions to some of the ticket selling websites. I do actually read them for some of the bigger names coming around, because at least here in the Boston area, if you don't buy early, you aren't going. I also keep on top of a local promoter/dj community (for New England it's newraveorder.com ) to see a lot of the "smaller" shows going around. I also go to weekly and bi-weekly events on a regular basis, and so get flyers and such from people promoting there. I also am on facebook, and network with some of the local DJ's and promoters. So really, it's a combination of everything to figure out what's going on. Honestly, there isn't a "one-stop" spot to find everything most places (god I wish there was, I've thought about trying to compile it... but shoot me now lol). So just do as much as you're willing to do digging for shows, and you will be rewarded. |
| Dione Haimes 13.05.2011 | For me its mixmag, facebook and word of mouth from other DJs. |

| Irwin Ney 13.05.2011 | Besides from google/facebook/myspace searchs i suggest you go to a pub/bar near an University or High School and start asking for some cool places to listen EDM, drink and get ladies Be sure to have some cards with you to promote yourself to the right people Face to face comunication with a stranger is a must-have skill to any DJ |
| Marshall Aby 13.05.2011 | I know if I go to a 'techno' evening
and it's not actually techno or any or its myriad sub-genres I'd be annoyed. But if I go to an EDM evening ; what, precisely, am I going to be listening to? It just really bugs me that this is still the prevalent term in the city that was the crucible from which house emerged. |
| Marshall Aby 13.05.2011 | EDM the preferred name for what above techno? Techno is the lesser preferred name for what below EDM? |
| Maisie Marras 13.05.2011 | edm is the preferable umbrella term over techno. jussayin its the lesser of 2 evils |
| Marshall Aby 13.05.2011 | I used to believe that EDM was an awful term because it meant nothing. How I realise that it's an awful term because it means everything. [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_electronic_music_genres"]List of electronic music genres - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame] As deejays it is our responsibility to sort this shit out. Trying to put music in its own tiny little pigeon-hole is our job, nobody else's. [/OT rant] |
| Miquel Catan 13.05.2011 | tranceaddict.com/community s and go to the regional areas. This will have a party planner for the larger cities. |
| Delila Vandommelen 13.05.2011 | Chalk one more for RA. I don't know how useful it is in the US of A but here, you can't not know about an event with a high profile lineup. Most definitely overshadows the smaller gigs thrown by/with locals though. It's gotta be a good starting point for a big town like Chicago. |
| Evalyn Voges 13.05.2011 | You are braver than me! This and DJForums are a good place to start. Also, why don't you see the gig lists for your favourite DJs and find the places they are playing in Chicago? RA is good. They do a newsletter every Thursday called Local Mailer with stuff going on in your area. www.residentadvisor.net |
