Hi, I’m Rich Pangilinan aka DJ Riddler Over the past 30 years I’ve worked in radio, record labels, music production, nightlife, and live entertainment. Today I’m the Director of Entertainment at Warehouse Live Midtown. Here I share thoughts on music, entertainment, marketing, AI, and the future of live events.

Watched my son compete in an international golf tournament in Barcelona last week. The front 9 tested him on a course he’d never seen. He didn’t give up. Came back stronger on the back 9. Reminded me that the conditions are never perfect. The course is always different than you expected. What matters is whether you keep going. Whatever front 9 is testing you right now — Don’t give up before the back 9. 🇪🇸⛳

No matter what sport you play in - Football, Baseball, Basketball, Soccer, Hockey, Golf, Tennis - you are taught to be a good sport after a match. You win, you lose, but you congratulate your opponent.

After listening and watching Wemby’s post game conference already comparing himself to Jordan and Lebron, I hope this guy and the Spurs never see an NBA Finals again. Show some humility in defeat.

I said yes to Tommy Boy Records on a Monday morning. By Friday Everlast from House of Pain was screaming at me. #tommyboy #musicindustry #houseofpain #everlast #djriddler

Sagrada Familia is more impressive in person than in pictures. Amazing!

AI showed me a market shift in my own data before I felt it operationally. Here’s what I did about it

First day in Barcelona, walked through the streets, went to Cathedral Barcelona, saw the Pope pass us by on his way to Sagrada Familia, also went to see St Ignatius’ sword he surrendered leaving his old life as a soldier and dedicating his life to Christ at Church of the Sacred Heart (Església del Sagrat Cor de Jesús). This has been quite an exciting day. What have you surrendered that was holding you back?

The day of the week matters less than the momentum of the artist. Here’s what a Tuesday night sellout taught me. #liveevents #musicindustry #talentbuying #eventpromoter #djriddler

I told Tom Silverman I didn't know if I wanted the job. He hired me anyway. Here's why. New post on the blog 👇 djriddler.com/post/unlocking…

The agents know the artist. The streets know the market. Listen to the streets. #djriddler #liveevents #entertainment #nightlife

Sold out doesn’t always mean profitable. Here’s what most people don’t understand about live events.

By far the best Wrestling match in a long time. Way better than Wrestlemania this year. Great story telling for the months leading up to this match and a spectacular performance. Bravo 👏 #aaanochedelosgrandes

A sold-out event can lose money. A half-full event can make money. Most people only see attendance. Operators see the entire business.
