Check out any new bars or clubs and ask there - they usually need people

I have to agree that your work is going to be largely based on who you know. Also i'm going to let everyone in on a secret. This is what's going to set you apart from the large majority of people. Just ask for the opportunity. Do no wait for someone to notice you and ask you to do a show. I think we aspiring DJ's tend to wait to be "good enough" and then figure someone will just ask us to play. Get comfortable mixing and then go ask to play a night at a venue you have in mind. Then while everyone else is "perfecting their skills, before they play" in the bedroom, you'll already be playing.

Promote...Promote...Promote.....

Start by serving drinks from your bedroom window....it's all downhill from there.

There's stiff competition in my home city. It has a great number of clubs, some of which you may recognise if you are from the UK, or have visited Ibiza (Cream and garlands) or you some you may not recognise (Circus, mUmU)

I've been DJing now for about 2 and a half years and I've only played out 3 times as my mate was putting a night on in a club that has since closed down. I think I'll stay in the bedroom for a while longer to hone my skills more
