I’m sure you’ve seen this “DJ Rules AFTER 3AM” list, especially if you’re an active WhiteRaverRafting reader. Last week we caught wind of the picture on Twitter thanks to various anonymous Twitter handles. We thought it was unique, interesting and extremely honest. Without question our team agreed that this photo was something our readers would benefit from seeing.
Since we weren’t sure how exactly this photo surfaced on the internet, we reached out to AFTER and spoke with Mira (the clubs Marketing Director), as we mention in our original article. She had informed us that the list was real and then proceeded to tell us that the rules were created by AFTER’s Managing Partner, Thom Svast. Now, days later, DJOYbeat.com has come out with the story behind this list.
Calling this picture a viral sensation doesn’t do it justice, our article alone received over 86,000 Facebook shares. Below you can peep the opening paragraph of DJOYbeat’s article before complete diving in. We’ve also including a like to our original article, just incase you missed it.
“Who thought a simple text amongst pals would turn into a viral sensation? Las Vegas’ newest afterhours, simply called “After,” prepared to launch on February 1 in the building old-school clubbers remember as Utopia and Empire Ballroom. DJOYbeat was already hot on the tip that the underground house and techno scene needed a home, thus we jumped on-board as sponsors of the venue (full disclosure). But when After’s managing partner Thom Svast texted me a draft of a list of DJ rules for the party, it was too good not to share. Afterall, it is what underground electronic fans think about the current state of DJ sets—particularly in Vegas.” – DJOYbeat
