Djs union

Djs union

Hi all
Does anyone know of a djs union or:sunglasses: federation that opperates world wide

you here :smiley:

seriously :stuck_out_tongue:

unions… ugh… unions are the reason the US car industry almost died.

+1!!!

But really, a union? Why? You need a couple of paid breaks during your sets? Lol. I doubt there’s a union of any kind. :wink:

Plus, who the hell wants to pay dues?

Haha! Made me rofl (seriously…) :smiley:

I rofl’d when I wrote it, actually :smiley:.

Can you imagine a bunch of dj’s sitting outside of some club with signs on strike? lol

with unionized clubs hiring only unionized dj’s…makes me quite ill to think about.

yeh.. i’d definately be a scab. I’d kill for some decent gigs.. :disappointed:

seriously.. :eek:

go get some then.

Well that was just unfriendly. :disappointed:

I’m fairly certain if anyone could just ā€œgo get someā€ gigs, none of us would have real jobs, or go to school, or do anything else…:wink:

problem.. i’m 17 and Newcastle’s massively overcrowded :disappointed: so it doesn’t work in my favour..

But i’m workin on it :smiley:

wanna help? lol

the key with getting gigs is going out and talking with people and just doing it. i hate to sound unkind, but i seriously know about 4-5 guys who have said, i would kill for gigs (including me). all of those guys say that over and over and never go out and do what is necessary.
if you underage, start looking at doing all ages stuff. when i was under 21, i would do all ages shows and stuff. do house parties house parties are great for learning. you just got to get out and get to know your local scene, get to know people.
far as helping, im always willing to do what i can. send me a message with what you have been doing, and your latest demo. i cant really get you any gigs. im just now getting into the local scene here in brighton.

yeh man no worries.. I already do a load of underage events and shit. loads of house parties, and some club stuff. I’m at boarding school, so I do all the events there too - which is all good experience. my fingers are just itching to go further! :slight_smile: but it all takes time, and at the mo i’m just sending mixes to all my ā€˜following’ on fb to get practice and feedback… its all good fun! Just difficult to do proper stuff when you’r underage, as you can probs imagine!

But thanks anyway man :slight_smile:

stop work meeting at 1:30am

in some countrys if you are not a member of association you would not be able to play a single record its comming to england soon pubs and clubs are being hit by PRS so think ahead

surely PRS are just collecting the royalty payments? PRS stands for UK songwriters, composers and music publishers - essentially DJs are human jukeboxes in their minds, so all they care about is the venue paying the license fee, to keep the songwriters happy.

I hope…
