I know I'm going back a few years now, but when I promoted in Southend names never made a difference to our attendance, but we were on a tight budget, the only clubs that would let us put on techno, or any dance music for that matter had a max capacity of 150-180 so there never was the money to pay big names,

We started small and very quickly build a very loyal fan base, we had some wicked party's, made some very good mates ones that i still see today. Is that not all part of the techno fun.
