Hey Guys,

I wanted to make a thread about how to get work as a DJ ..

I have been bedroom DJing for over 2 years now and in the last 6 months i have played infront of mates at small free parties and so on so forth,

Basically I would like to take it a step further, i know alot of people would love to be a DJ, but it really is my dream!!!!!

Does anybody on the forum play in nightclubs/raves? What would you normally have to do to get going in this line of work?

any advise on this would be great

Cheers,
Jam

You have to go to the parties you want to play at ,regularly week in week out , . Get your face known, promoters receive tonnes of faceless cd promos , you have to show your support the scene your into.

Get the promoter as wasted as possible always helps.

If you simply enjoy mixing and love the music, just carry on doing what you are doing. There is a very slim chance you will get recognised and respected and maybe get some sets off the back of that.

Or, if you want a better chance at ‘making it’ and don’t mind losing a bit of dignity:

1. Go to all events and lick as much ass as possible.
2. Be everybodies mate.
3. Big yourself up all the time.
4. Get a gang of followers who will big you up all the time.
5. Hand CD’s out left right and centre and big them up all the time.
6. Promise promoters that you will bring a crowd of people with you and act like a kind of sub promoter so their work is made easier but realise they will probably put you on the warm-up set.
7. Set up your own night and ask promoters (who are also dj’s) from other nights to play at your night and then they feel they have to return the favour – cue lots of nights containing dj’s from all different groups returning favours to each other.

Of course there has to be a certain element of technical skills and musical understanding mixed in with the above but it’s not as important as blowing your trumpet as loud as possible, kissing ass and getting involved in an eternal cycle of favour swapping.
