Always felt that the UK sound would go down well(bassline house,breaks,garage....)in patong, the music wouldnt be appreciated to its full extent though,but you give me the chance anywhere,put some decks in front of me and i'll have a bash, but its getting into the clubs is the problem.its like back home,if u put on club nights and u have resident dj's and someone turns up wanting a mix,its very unlikely u gonna give them a go,yeah you'll take there demo and have a listen.maybe the smaller nights and clubs is the way forward.
Knock up loads of demo's and get them out.
i feel the music scene is better on the east,samui,koh phangan.a lot more bigger names and the music is alot better(more underground),possibly more opurtunity.
Ive been mixing for 8+years alongside some big names,puting on nights in and around london,untold amounts of pirate radio and have recentely landed myself a job on a new S.E england radio station,kanefm(.com)which has already had its trial broadcast last summer,(new site coming soon)which is planned to launch at the end of the year(good timing for me),and to be fair i havent tried here in LOS,i have burnt a very small majority of my vinyl(enough to get by) to CD,for traveling purposes,but when i was in mexico,i put out quite a few demo's to clubs and bars,and yeah i did get to play in a couple of bars but none of the bigger clubs,im just trying to say its a hard scene to get in to because there is a lot of people doing the same thing.
i hope to mix out here in LOS,i just get of my lazy **** and speak to the right people,because im affraid to say ,its not what u know in this game,its who.
DJ WYLOS aka WYLIE.

you are right,t heres more a preference for that type of music in samui. patong is just not that sophisticated(if you want to call it that) when it comes to music.
