💯....Ibiza, Lux, Cities day parties...Man,1223 mighta been the greatest HH ever...What a time!

[@clutchinv1803]

@@nii-lanteilamptey2429 It's a shame that DC has died. I know we are older but there is nothing that caters to us. Atleast the old folks had Zanzibar and some other spots back in the day. We are stuck partying with the kids. Park is young folks now. There are a couple of older crowd spots around the city like smoke and mirror, Ciel, but our crowd is washed lol....not sure if its me, but the bad ass women I use to see during our club days were hands down the baddest. Now I only see a select few bad chicks when I hit these spots. Every weekend, I'm trying to figure out where the bad chicks go lol....DC is dead man

[@musicians4sale146]

Ritz free before 8 on Fridays

[@_CPerk]

Not a huge fan of Marc Barnes, but you gotta respect him and his hustle. He not lying about Dream. Legit 5-8K people a night each weekend is not a lie at all. People came from out of town just to hit that club.

[@lilcassanova87]

Some of the best nights in my entire life were spent at Love Night Club.

[@TheAtemiles]

He still do his thing at park on 14th hands down best club in dc now

[@cobra20500]

There will never be another Dream/Love and can't forget H20

[@heyjoejp]

I worked for Marc for years. My experience and background in hospitality, nightlife, restaurant & bars gives me the position and Birds Eye view that in my 30 years in the business ….. he is certainly on the Mount Rushmore of the industry.

[@1therabbithole]

Yoooooooooo!!!!.... This is you pod! This is a convo that hasn't been aired before EVER. Even on the studio 54 docs. This Blackness

[@fry_dmv322]

Club Dream and then changed too Club Love🔥 mann u just had too been there I know Marc ain’t own H2O but that club was 🔥 too Mann the city was on 🔥💯

[@clutchinv1803]

We need to get all the owners, former and current promoters from DC and do a documentary. Mad Power Unit, Abdul from DC live/H2O etc….DC was a movie from 1996-2006.

[@diaking2845]

As many times as I've gone to Dream, Love, Republic Gardens, DC Live, Zanzibar etc. I've never heard Marc's own actual take on being a club owner. All I ever heard was negative press and his bad rep from people I know that know him. I was kinda "hating" when the interview started. I now have much better respect for him. Thanks for this interview! I think I might go check out Park agin!

[@urbanflavorz]

Best Podcast I seen this year. Marc and Chris was dropping so much game.This is a blueprint on how to put together a Podcast and not just a one on one interview. Marc was in the mood to give away all his nightclub secrets. He was with his man Chris so it had the right energy. Wouldn't have gotten all this out of him if it was just a one on one interview.

[@AliasTee]

We gotta get Mark on a pod where they won’t cut him off every 2 minutes.

[@djlightsout06]

For real tho

[@xKolbyxBlackx]

Yeah they kept getting in his way when he was tryna give some real game

[@AGB32805]

you gotta spell his name right first tho

[@oldwavy]

Seriously. As soon as a gem was about to be revealed. The host kept burying it with his misinformed insite and love bombing praises. Great platform but let your guest cook brotha.

[@Inkay2x]

S/o to Marc Barnes never went to Dream or Love but always heard my older cousins talk about it…….real DC legend

[@gbcprofesional]

Great INTERVIEW, not enough Mics for the Guests 😅😂😂😂😂… bring them back Individually so they can get their POINTS OUT without being Interrupted.. 🤷🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

[@GBFROMDC]

You can walk by Park most days and Marc is there working on something with his team even when they're closed. I used to work in the block. GREAT. TIMES. Been to all of his clubs during my time.....but there will never be another LOVE (DC) all the floors and rooms it was CRAZY!! i dont know how they managed all of those spaces in one night in one building.

[@oldwavy]

I remember being a sub-promoter for Club Dream in DC back in 2002. I was in the Army back then and I had a large crew from Maryland, VA and DC come out to party on the weekend. Good times man. I still have my light green Dream ID card!

[@philtyrich1]

Big Shout to Chris & Marc . I met Chris when him and my boy Marlon started doing parties out here in Toronto back in 95 . After that first intro I was done with the rap game and soaked up hella game from Chris. Cancun Fiesta , Kid Capri 20th Anniversary party getting to see all the behind scenes of how all that was put together was dope that was the blueprint for me on how to connect corporate brands with events .

[@TedlaEKHAN]

I really enjoyed this interview. S/O to everyone who participated in this interview.

[@baihu4u]

He aint lying about the DJ's and the change up in the way they spin being influenced by the strip club dj/announcer style.. THAT'S why aint nobody fading DJ Jazzy Jeff, STILL!! Your ass is gonna party and MOVE to non-stop grooves from a blend of damn near ALL genre's for a span of time periods. Kid Capri kinda similar. Jeff the GOAT though!

[@djdoncruse1952]

Great episode !!As far as DJing go. As a DJing you’re not playing for yourself !But for your crowd.You have to read the room.Sometimes people don’t want you to speed through the music.

[@JesseVealIII]

I don’t know why this video came in my feed. But, As a former party promoter who has been to AG events and dope events around the country this a very dope interview. Salute to them and All that they have done! Party promotion was one of the toughest businesses I ever engaged in. You can win big and lose big just as easy.

[@DeniBrave]

Man the OG’s know what’s up. Learning from both of them years ago, really put you mindset for this hospitality, nightlife, food and beverage industry world in another place.

[@ProbationPapi]

respect to Mr Barnes. he held my dad down when released from the clink. always appreciative of this man. DC legend. Bless

[@WillieBangg]

Mark Barnes is a legend in DC - Love Republic Gardens. Got to work for him as security and can co-sign he did pay his people and also scream at u if u screwed up, good dude and a innovator!

[@thecsmifshow6276]

Lotus on sunday in NYC was legendary

[@TheRealEstateDeli]

This is hands down your best episode, more of this!!!!

[@josephjohnson2387]

Many trips from NY to D.C. for Dream. Shit was a fuckin MOVEMENT. Dope pod ✌🏾

[@kevinsmith4451]

Amazing interview. Much respect for all the panelist. Never been to Love....but lordddddd THE DREAM.....UNMATCHED

[@y2smoke]

Nah the bar about the carpet instead of concrete floors is wild !!!! These dudes are legends

[@DM-bk9lm]

This interview was hella dope

[@dreera2597]

Marc Barnes needs his own interview. Too much of his valuable knowledge got cut off. Production all over the place. Bad mics. Promos cutting through mid sentence. One hour in my patience can barely tolerate the rest. Update: After watching the whole thing the dialogue definitely got better. Great interview

[@tyronmcdaniel5372]

Frfr… they cut him off, won’t let him complete his thoughts, geez 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@paul734]

In my opinion, people in the states are opting to travel more outside of the states then club in the US. We see this now with some many celebs and regular folks hanging out in Europe at the moment.

[@EGLyrical]

Listening to this particular show really fires me up seeing all these successful og promoters really show me this ain’t over til it’s over gotta go bigger bigger much love from Florida

[@frederickarthur1]

You are only as good as your last event. “Marc Barnes” . Probably one of the most defining statements I have ever heard.

[@lauvernchambers7710]

Right simple and common sense

[@photoholicflix]

This is a great interview that's like a college course in event marketing and promotion.

[@DJeXeL]

Super dope episode! Dropped a lot on gems 💎 👏🏼

[@dhobbins2324]

This is my favorite episode 🫡

[@ThePerfectnoize]

Major Entertainment & Entrepreneur 💎’s dropped all thru the episode this definitely on the saved list🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@urbanflavorz]

Very good podcast gave out some jewels on the nightclub scene. Thats crazzy Park went from 45k to 135K at the bar when he switched from white to black night.

[@mr40watt]

Maaaaaaan the #DC club scene ain't never been the same after Dream nightclub... that joint was LEGENDARY slim!!!💯🤞🏿🍻💪🏿

[@MindMadnessGuns]

Marc is exactly right @1:17:00! AI and club membership. Black SOHO house!

[@baneishere]

🔥🔥🔥🔥 Interview

[@Tonybrown2u]

Republic Gardens, Dream, Love and DC Live they were the place to be!

[@jayrags-soulfiesta4076]

Incredible interview.

[@flynflashyent]

They speaking from there perspective from another city but the Atlantas night life was killed by sections this is facts

[@sereroserera367]

Can you elaborate on that boss ?

[@flynflashyent]

@@sereroserera367 the gentlemen are talking about ny and dc nightlife which are not the same audience but they are reacting to what Ryan Cameron said on Atlanta Nightlife… this was a city that danced when they put sections in and went bottle service it killed Atlanta’s Club Atmosphere… they went from being huge venues to now being a 3rd of the size

[@sereroserera367]

@@flynflashyent gotcha. But how do you explain that african or caribbean clubs also have sections yet people still dance a lot in there ? I personally think it has more to do with the fact that hip hop and rnb for the past 10 years is mostly moody and low tempo which suits more for a vibe and posing as opposed to hitting the dance floor and sweating

[@sereroserera367]

@@flynflashyent I think Atlanta nightlife was killed by the style of music played in the clubs but maybe sections also played a big role

[@flynflashyent]

@@sereroserera367 no not at all i grew up in the Atlanta club seen, even been a promoter i’m telling the reason

[@tonybesquire]

They keep cutting Marc Barnes off.

[@MindMadnessGuns]

Chris Shouting out #914 heavy..Ray knows about MV @2:10:25 that's dope!!

[@dbettis6477]

His guest were great, but the host was a clown I’m from DC, I been to every club Marc Barnes has own in DC since I was 16. Today I’m 43 own multi million dollar business in real estate. Everything he is saying is true. I just wish it was a better host. He is doing too much

[@MissinginMiami]

Mike Gardner is a real one!!! ✊🏾💯

[@peterslayton3287]

He’s talking about Dumbo House in Brooklyn or he’s talking about SAA

[@Harlem66]

[@Thisisbooney]

[@unaversoul]

Good discussion

[@leesprewell5136]

Great insight to the club history and where it's headed. N no liv in Vegas is a travesty

[@TheNeighborhoodAdjuster]

I’ve lived all over and HOUSTON club scene in 2000-2010 top tier New Orleans 90-2005 nothing will even COMPARE I was in ATLANTA 2006-2010 THATS WHEN THE MEGA CLUB scene took over in ATLANTA the fumbled becoming the NEXT VEGAS then MIAMI took the crown

[@DonniesWrld35]

Yessssir 🔥 💯 🔥

[@Therealchristopher88]

I still ain’t been back to Hakassan in the MGM because they kicked me out of line for smelling like weed, they said my girl could stay 🙃 then on top of that joke, they used a black security guard to kick me out of line. lol we already paid for our tickets….this 2015. On the website it say no refund, but we definitely got our refund, and weed became legal in Vegas 2016. lol it’s still Fkkk Hakassan Night in the MGM Las Vegas.

Can yall put Marc's responses into one supercut video? Cut off too much.

[@jus10time_]

At the 51:05 mark, perfect example of when someone won’t shut the hell up and is loud & wrong

[@joejohnson4613]

Not gonna lie I always had more fun in DC live and the Ritz then love or dream.

Good info but cats gotta stop talking over each other. It comes much worse on playback than it feels in person

[@AlexSmith-lj1ty]

The interviewer fumbled this one bad. Shame

[@jennaywilliams1024]

Atlanta could never be the hub of fashion influence because there wasn't even no coat check😂 y'all good now because there's more individual control over import/export but no.

[@urbanflavorz]

Nat King Cole was a HEAVY smoker, what is dude talking about. He didn't catch lung catcher from second hand smoke.

[@hardbox9670]

💎💎💎💎💎

[@ricco301]

How can you learn anything when there's no structure to this interview to keep cutting each other off Nobody can finish a thought and it leaves you hanging I cannot learn anything. Great information but it was hard to listen to

[@sohanm463]

Interviewer is wack

[@TheRussellabbott]

The interviewer was terrible. He didn’t interview he wanted to talk to much.
