    From Idea to Reality: Inside OBRI's Sunday Schoolers Sunday Day Party

    Welcome, my friends, to a brand-new episode where we delve into the heart and soul of OBRI, the force behind the sensational Sunday Schoolers Sunday day party. Join us as we take you on a journey through the birth of this remarkable concept and the dedication it took to transform it from a mere idea into a living, breathing reality. In the hallowed halls of creativity, we gathered to craft the essence of our brand—its name, its ethos, its mission, and its vision. With meticulous attention to detail, we launched the inaugural season just four weeks ago, setting the stage for an unforgettable experience unlike any other. But our work doesn't end there. We are builders, both of the OBRI brand and our individual identities as DJ/producers. The Dirty Library, our chosen sanctuary of sound, stands as a testament to our discerning taste. Its exquisite decor, impeccable acoustics, and the ownership and staff create an environment where magic happens. We discuss the unique opportunity for DJs to join us on this journey, but with great power comes great responsibility. We expect those who seek a booking to align with our vision, to immerse themselves in the style and vibe we painstakingly create within our sets. Our platform is a launching pad, a springboard for those who share our passion and dedication. As the OBRI brand continues to flourish, we set our sights on new horizons. We've already begun envisioning a night party in the forthcoming fall/winter season, where we will unleash our sonic alchemy on Saturdays or Fridays, further expanding the realms of musical possibility. So, my friends, come forth and be a part of this ever-growing tapestry of sound, art, and unyielding spirit. Dive deep into the world of OBRI, where passion, creativity, and the pursuit of musical excellence reign supreme. This is not merely a party; it's a community, it's a movement. Embrace it, support it, and together, let's reshape the very fabric of nightlife.

    Releasing a NewSingle Through UnitedMasters, Joeski Sampling Hector Lavoe, Building Your Own Music Label, Was Fisher EDM, How Gordo Created His Own Brand Taraka and Events

    In this episode, we dive deep into the world of house music production, the release process, and the evolving DJ culture. As always, we keep it real and unfiltered, just like the beats that move us. We start by breaking down Danny Velz debut release track, sharing insights into the mixing and mastering process. We discuss the delicate balance of not overproducing, and the importance of preserving the unique sound that makes a track stand out. We also share tips on how to get your music on social and streaming platforms, including Spotify playlists, through platforms like United Masters. Next, we get into the nitty-gritty of collaborating on a track together. We discuss how we plan to work with samples and the arrangement to create a one-of-a-kind track that pushes boundaries and defies genre labels. We also take a moment to appreciate the art of sampling in house music, drawing inspiration from Joeski's track "Dia de Ayer," where he sampled Hector Lavoe. We discuss the creativity and skill involved in reinterpreting and repurposing musical elements to create something fresh and original. Shifting gears, we delve into the business side of the industry, discussing the challenges and opportunities of building and selling your own music label. We explore the strategies employed by successful DJs, including how some make it big quickly while others fizzle out after one hit. We also debate the rise of Instagram and TikTok DJs, including female DJs who are making waves in the industry. We then turn our attention to Gordo and his party Taraka, discussing how he has built a massive following and thrown legendary events despite being shunned by the underground scene. We ponder if he can break into the European and UK underground scene and what it takes to make a mark in the ever-evolving landscape of electronic music. Finally, we share the challenges and importance of having a strong social media team member on your team, drawing inspiration from the success of Gray Area Events in NYC and beyond. We highlight the power of social media in promoting parties and connecting with fans in today's digital age. Tune in as we share our raw and unfiltered perspectives on the house music scene, from production to promotion, and everything in between. Join us as we continue to push the boundaries of the genre and explore the ever-changing landscape of the underground music culture. https://instagram.com/dannyvelzmusic https://www.tiktok.com/@dannyvelzmusic https://www.instagram.com/latenite.ofc/ https://www.instagram.com/obriofc/ https://www.instagram.com/ccocotaso/ https://www.instagram.com/collabogenius/ https://soundcloud.com/dannyvelz
