The Platform 026: R&B Tuesday, Building Your Own Party, Free Agency, 2023 Ups & Downs
On episode twenty-six of The Platform Podcast I sit down with Mr. New York, a long-time friend of mine from Milwaukee who's been killing the DJ scene.
Mr. New York starts off by letting everyone know how he got his start in the DJ industry from throwing house parties to now holding residencies at the hottest night clubs in the city.
When he began getting his foot in the door at popular venues, it wasn't always for the biggest pay check. Now he's built up his skills, gained a following and can use that negotiate his rate and even throw his own events.
Holding residencies at different venues almost every day of the week is great but it's also difficult to sustain and can be tough on you mentally. Mr. New York reminisces on 2023 and how career wise it was the best year ever but personally one of his worst in a long time.
With one of his most popular residencies closing their doors at the end of 2023, I asked Mr. New York what his plans are for a new Friday night residency and where he plans to go in "free agency."
Always evolving and wanting to do new things, he recently threw his own Boiler Room set at Miramar Theatre. Bringing new ideas to Milwaukee is something he prides himself on as well as throwing successful events like R&B Tuesday, Saturday nights at No. 720 and many others. His goals for 2024 are even bigger!
