+When I was just a raver, I was the most chill person alive. Ever since I got into promoting, it has always been something. Even when I started just sharing flyers for free, some people would get upset that I shared a flyer or did not share a flyer. The promotion role changed the public identity fundamentally — from anonymous participant to contested figure.

+That transformation is not a side effect of the job. It is the job. The promoter does not get to remain the person they were before they started curating rooms. The role rewires your social architecture, your emotional responses, your relationship to every person who walks through the door.
