I Link You

myspace in prague

Last week, I was figuring out where the true nightlife is around prague. I tried asking around and got many suggestions, but I never really got a feel for the demographics or the type of music that would be played at these clubs, bars, and lounges. I know that I'm in Europe, and that usually means house will be played no matter what. Nonetheless, I would like to have some control over what kind of house music I will hear if I pay 5-10 euros to enter the club.

I picked up a lot of cards and flyers for nightlife events. Usually the starring DJs have their websites listed on these cards. Instead of homepages, I was directed straight to their MySpace profiles on the web. This was not the first time that DJs put the addresses to their MySpace profiles on these cards. I saw them while in Paris and Berlin as well. I sensed that social networking was not too big among the German youth; but MySpace's core draw is for musicians and DJs. Being able to broadcast your music to thousands of potential listeners at little cost is a very big draw to musicians and DJs.
