From helping shape Denver’s electronic music culture, to understanding the difference between a promoter and a buyer, this episode gets into the realities of booking artists, building community, scaling events, and keeping dance music alive from the ground up. They talk about why promoters need to care, why artists should invest more in fans than expensive production, how real community is built, why ticket prices matter, and why the future of independent artists could be stronger than ever. This is a conversation about scenes, fans, artists, promoters, record labels, and the power of putting people first. ⏲ Follow Will Clarke ⏱ https://willclarke.komi.io/ https://djwillclarke.com/ https://open.spotify.com/artist/1OmOdgwIzub8DYPxQYbbbi?si=hEx8GCJAR3mhhhWd_iSuew https://www.instagram.com/djwillclarke https://www.facebook.com/willclarkedj https://twitter.com/djwillclarke https://www.tiktok.com/@djwillclarke Hosted on Acast.
