Ah right, I thought they were a label as well, that would explain it then.Quote:

Logic.
More than likely it's a misunderstanding and he has hooked up with a DJ agency.
Hmm...I've never heard of a DJ getting signed to a label...they probably got signed by an agency or and entertainment company. I know Full Access, Night culture, etc. hire DJs to work for their company specifically as DJs.
Your friend has a booking agent or is used by an event company, like others have said if he is not producing he is not on a label.
A lot of labels do sing DJ acts with a decent following since a lot of producers cant and/or dont dj.
Some outfits do agency, record label, management and events all under one umbrella.
Yeah, thinking back on this I seem to remember that Underground Resistance had a couple of non producing DJs on the books at one time. I think they provided support for the rest of the collective during live shows. It's not something that seems to happen much these days, I don't think - or back then either, to be honest.
Still interested in what label it apparently was.
Jam Master Jay, Jazzy Jeff, Spinderella, etc are examples of "non-producer" DJs that were signed. Unless your friend is part of something like that or similar situation, I have doubt he is signed to the label
Defected records have a couple of DJ's who are strictly DJ's and are "signed" so to speak, i would assume its the record labels who host big nights which would be more likely to sign DJ's
Yup, our world is haunted, its a spiritual thing. :cool:Quote:
