Hello everyone! Happy to announce that our debut dance music event (on 5th August in Kuala Lumpur) was a resounding success! This is a follow-up post to https://steemit.com/business/@kevinwong/steemit-and-the-dance-music-scene.

We achieved about 75% venue capacity despite having a tough, last-minute competition coming from an established club in Kuala Lumpur.

I apologise for the lateness of this follow-up. The official photographs just got processed!

This is the team and me

The debut event is a big first step for us: being a lean, agile company tapping into the potentials of Steemit. We are currently just at the beginning phase of exposing Steemit into the dance music industry. While we are not 100% actively pushing Steemit onto the crowd at the moment.. local music producers, organizers, and various club managements have taken note of Steemit.

Please forgive us if we are rough around the edges - this is all in the name of bootstrapping ourselves without big money interests. We are doing this for the love of music, and how it brings people together. The anarchist in me knows that music has the power to liberate minds.

Here's a short passage during the event:-

Without further ado, here are some results of our efforts in marketing Steemit (click on images to enlarge):-

So what's next?

Now that we have established ourselves as competent partymarkers - we are currently looking to expand beyond Malaysia to all around Asia. Jakarta, Bali, Bangkok, Cambodia, Mumbai, New Delhi, to name a few. We hope our little innovations will bring us far.

We are bringing audiovisual artists, stage performers, and set engineers together as it is part of our passion to do so. Thanks to an expanded budget, all thanks to Steem/Steemit.

Being a porous company, we are also welcoming Steemians who are interested in audiovisuals, stage performance, and event management to openly contribute to our movement. Exposure for Steemit in great music events will be a positive for the network as a whole.

Come on over to https://www.steemit.chat and contact me @kevinwong

We are open for contributions and collaborations. Also, we will soon provide remote-working opportunities with Steem as payment. If you are planning to run your own dance music event initiative, we will be glad to open up all of our business practices with you. We're all here to help each other.

All said, we will continue marketing for Steemit, and use earned SBDs wisely in making future initiatives for Steemit more compelling and memorable. At the moment, I am discussing the possibilities of Steemit with some fellow DJs and music producers. It is generating plenty of interest.

I will definitely run a workshop once we sort out the potentials. (One of the many possible use case includes open-sourcing production work. Openly share production stems, write tutorials, and create with others.)

If the community is highly interested in this, we will also begin to develop quality Steemit-centric marketing campaigns to run alongside our dance music events. Please refer to my previous post to get a better understanding of the possibilities: https://steemit.com/business/@kevinwong/steemit-and-the-dance-music-scene.

Let's make magic together <3

Thanks for checking this out! I put plenty of effort into creating out-of-the-ordinary contents and initiatives. Every single vote and support that you give means the world to me! Follow me @kevinwong


Sort:  

you deserve the the "bad-ass mofo" trophy of the week for this, bro. :-)

I wanted to include the Post. Vote. Earn, but figured out that'll be a little too much.. maybe a small lil flyer printout next time :D lol

Congratulations on the success of this event. Looks like an awesome night and you don't have to worry about any "roughness around the edges"! Love the projection of the steemit logo during the intermissions. That will get the message out and no mistake!!

It felt like we were using duct tapes to bootstrap the event xD Plenty of stuff learned organizing event - it wasn't as easy as it seems.. but it's kinda fun!

I can totally understand, I used to be in a band and sometimes even the set up and organising of a night with a couple of other bands on the bill could be quite tortuous and that pales in comparison to the size of task you had there. Duct tape never lets you down right enough!!!

Wow this is really exciting and promising. Major props for offering to share your business practices, the music industry needs more people willing to do that.

We're planning to maintain a small core team with minimal overheads. And we're backed up by the Steemit network of talents! Thanks for dropping by a good word :)

Wow. Kevin you are a real action taker.
Really a great idea and event.
Greetings to your friends too.
Follow You :-)

Cheers buddy :D Used to perform for events but now seeing a different game with event organization - it's pretty awesome getting people together to work things out :)

Event organization is pretty cool with a lot of fun. Espacially if the event is successful ;-)
Much success to you with your next projects :-)

Oh yea definitely better if there are people comin' to the event :D. Much thanks brother! Appreciate it!

great initiative !

You could sell tickets for STEEM only and make it an exclusive event.
That could promote STEEM as a currency.

Looks like it was a killer success! Great photos too. I'm assuming that's the biggest Steemit logo display thus far. :)

I know nothing about partymaking, but it looks like your planning something for Mumbai. I'll be there, whenever that happens!

Pretty sure someone's gonna try to Batman-spotlight Steemit! lol
Yes, I think I'm flying over to India to seal some deals next month :) Perhaps we can even meet up!

Awesome, would love to! I bet you'll be first to that Steembat signal :)

Sounds like you guys were having fun! A fantastic idea of promoting Steemit, very original, well done!!

This is absolutely amazing Kevin !!! I wish I could have been there and dance. I am trying to contact our sponsor contacts for Indonesia . Can you send a pdf proposal per email ?

Thanks @mammasitta! There are more events in planning :) Sure, where can I send it to?

I send my email per FB or www.mammasitta.com you find it
Can't promise but I got an idea

I hope you can bring @kevinwong to Indonesia, so steemian in Indonesia can see and enjoy the show..... Salam kenal mammasita :)

apa kapar @happyphoenixy yes yes , saya tahu itu akan menjadi begitu besar. mungkin saya dapat membantu untuk mewujudkannya

Let's see some steem booty!

Nice, you are creative, keep going on. I know about you from @donkeypong post... nice

Thanks for dropping by a good word @happyphoenix! Hope the guide proved useful!
