ok - so here's the deal...
as some of you know - I recently got a feature in URB magazine. Up until that point I had never really dj-ed in any clubs, just small parties for my friends and I've been posting my various life mixes here for a while now.
After I got the review, and spoke to some dj's in DC - I was like... shit maybe I am actually ready to play in some of the clubs here in the city. Although it's been f-ing impossible to get my foot in the door.
I've even given my mixes by hand to some established performers in the hopes that maybe I could skip over the club promoters and whatnot (Evil Nine, UNKLE, Crystal Method*...)
so anyways... here's the favor:
I've been trying to contact the person responsible for booking people this major club in Washington, DC... although to no avail. I got the idea that maybe if a bunch of people would all write in and sortof help promote me... maybe I'll get a response.
All you would need to do is:
• go to
http://www.buzzlife.com/contact.php
• select "Amanda Huie"
• and just say something to the effect of 'hey you should really give this guy a chance at your club, I've heard his breaks mixes - they're all pretty damn good and there needs to be more representation of breaks at the club and Blake Peterson(me) has a cool, unique style... oh, and probably say where you're from
so I figure if a bunch of people from different parts of the world wrote in this deal... maybe I could get a chance, you know?
oh and my contact email is eclipso83 at aol.com
thanks in advance
*and with the CM I even noticed that at least one of their tracks ("Roboslut") was.. well 'influenced' by one of my unfinished demo's that I included in a mix cd I gave them
