Forced DJs for people or people for music?

[KLOSELINE]

removed it boys. just beware if you get invited to play in brisbane someday

this seems to come down to- the music or the money?

its really up to you.ive been playin out about 6 monthsand i still havent earned a cent personally, and i play a weekly gig a monthly gig and heaps of random shit on the side. this means i have no responsibility to please anyone. meaning i can be as much of a noisy c**t as i want and not take shit from anyone

this is of course with hopes to eventually get to a point where i can make some money.
perhaps its situational though
perhaps its different for me because i work with a group of friends and were more focussing on rebuilding a 5-year-dead drum and bass/dubstep empire in a town full of farmers and rugby-heads

either way i dont have a dollar to show for it, but i got shitloads of contacts, which i think in the longrun are worth much more than money. its who ya know huh

All you need in your town for a kick ass event is a bar that pours heavy, good dnb, go-go dancers in farmer outfits, and the bloody-est rugby dvd playing on the plasmas.

While I think it is annoying and insulting for a promoter or an owner to come up to a DJ and say "Play these songs" they are in just as tight of a spot as we are.

Word, a DJ is hired for a reason/purpose, you should not trash that at your convenience.

LOLz... Things like that will get you arrested and shot.

Where are the times when party people go to clubs to hear something fresh and new? I go to club and hear the same tracks that I have on my music TV programs. I love to come to the party and hear something that I don't know new releases, new vibes.

I'm curious about your experience and opinion.

Cheers

I know what you mean. But I found the solution for me: I only go to dedicated electronic music clubs, where the DJ (almost) always plays new and different (read: techno) tracks -> an upfront DJ. Havent been to a mainstream club for several years.
And I only spin at clubs like that, where Im not supposed to do a specific genre, but where people come to listen to "the DJ menu of the day".
