Arne Empen - MS Dockville & Habitat Festival - Credibility Over Cash

from Anja Schneider Backstage

In Anja Schneider Backstage spreche ich mit Arne Empen, dem Booker der Hamburger Festivals MS Dockville Festival und Habitat Festival.Arne erklärt anschaulich, was der Job eines Bookers eines Festivals wirklich bedeutet - und wie schmal der Grat ist zwischen kommerziellem Erfolg, Unabhängigkeit und Glaubwürdigkeit in Szene und Community. Es geht um den enormen Aufwand hinter Festivals mit 8.000 bis 22.000 Besucher:innen, um Strukturen, die übers Jahr aufgebaut werden müssen, obwohl nur wenige Termine möglich sind, und warum frühe Ticket-Vorverkäufe und eine engagierte Community entscheidend dafür sind, unabhängige Festivals überhaupt am Leben zu halten. Und wie wichtig und essentiell es für die Hamburger Crew ist unabhängig zu bleiben.Außerdem gibt Arne ehrliche Einblicke hinter die Kulissen des Festival- und Booking-Alltags: harte Entscheidungen, große Egos und der permanente Balanceakt im Musikbusiness. SOCIAL MEDIA InstagramYouTube Hosted on Acast.

Dj Paulo Moreno Dj 🇬🇧 Sound selections born from a knowledge of cause could be a way to describe Paulo Moreno.Always connected to the music and entertainment industries, the artist had a late awakening to djing, but no less dazzling for that. It was in London that he embraced the DJ impetus and performed regularly in renowned clubs and events such as Fabric London, Fire, Área, Heaven, Club No65, Union, Egg, Coronet and the Summer Rites festival, but he didn't stop there. The following years witnessed Paulo traveling all over the world to delight all those who listen to him with his sets full of depth, versatility, and energy. Portugal brought him a residency at Kremlin nightclub who gave him international recognition, regularly playing alongside names like Dennis Ferrer, Steve Lawler, Mendo, Prok and Fitch, and Hobo, Alan Fitzpatrick, Anja Schneider, Dennis Cruz, Goncalo, Anna, just to name a few.🇵🇹 Seleções sonoras nascidas de um conhecimento de causa poderia ser uma forma de descrever Paulo Moreno.D
