What does Level H mean?
Our goal as promoters is to give something new to the average nightclub goer, always bringing it up a notch with each event. Always trying to take it to the next level. Hence, Level H.
Where are you guys from?
Hanson – Honolulu (Makiki to be specific)
Justin – Kailua, Oahu
Sam – Honolulu, Hawaii
How long have you been promoting?
Level H Promotions has been doing events since June 2005.
Why did you get into promoting?
Hanson - It was always a passion to host events and organize big things, it was my knack. I love being a host, I wanted everyone to leave with the mindset that it was racked up in the memory trophy shelf of "good times." Naturally, Promotions and I crossed paths and it was my way of utilizing my passion.
Justin – Prior to promoting nightclubs, I would do events out at Hawaii Raceway Park. With the import racing scene growing and becoming a larger part of the track scene the night life scene became more a part of my life. It's all promoting, just different events, meeting new interesting people at each event and of course it is more fun when you can enjoy a few drinks.. hahaha
Sam – I love to meet new people and see new faces in the club. I like to see people having a good time and try to help accomplish that at each event.
Where was your first promotion spot?
The O Lounge
Tell us a crazy story from one of your parties.
There are too many stories to tell… Here is a video of a recent event…
What do you guys do when you're not promoting?
Hanson – Working at the O Lounge, as a manager. Caring for my son.
Justin – Meeting new people, spending time with family and friends and living life. Racing and speed is also a large part of my life. Speed is my drug.
Sam – I run a Diesel Fuel System shop during the day and also enjoy stunting street bikes both exhibition and recreational.
What are your drinks of choice?

Any thing else you want to say? Shoutouts?
Hanson- Thank you to all that help me get started, showed me the ropes, those who partied with me when there was 50 people to a 1000 people. Promotions is not easy and is always an up and down battle. But thanks to all in the industry, we all have "good times..."
