First Gig, club requirements?
Hi all,
So i go to a university in Canada, and the local university bar, which doesn’t have a Dj slot on mondays; however, they’ve asked me to make 5 one hour sets to showcase my style; so far ive made two tech house, one big-room house but i need some track advice for my New York/Ibiza styled house set.
If anyone has any tracks they think would work well; please help me land my first gig!
I would check out Crooklynclan.com , It seems like they have much of what you’re looking for. Check this out..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6Lh60mz6BY
What do you mean by Ibiza style?
:eek:
what happened to dj promo demos
Yeah no shit!!! I’d be careful they are no just using your CD on mondays to play and not have pay a DJ.
Righht??? I think my demo is like 20 min
yup.. to be fair, no one is going to listen to 5 hours of mixing just to see if they are ok for a set.
Hell I have people play at our monthly night I have never heard!
Word, I agree…5 hours is a loooooooong set.
that is bang on… give a couple of mixes in different styles and just fade between if you want
this was mine for a night in london @ cable
Sounds a bit like they just wanna play your mix’s, i wouldnt be providing them that much of your music if i were you
5 one hour sets? That’s ridiculous.
They should be asking for, at most, a single (mixtape) set of the length you would play there, or maybe a trial run at a reasonable rate of pay. I can understand the multiple sets thing to make sure you’re consistent, but unless they’re the biggest/only place in town I’d tell them to piss off.
15 min video → upload youtube → verification that you know how to row the kanoe → gig → pay → everyone happy.
A bar owner requesting you to make 5 1h mixes.. smells rotten..
Seems like he just want some fresh mixes in good quality to play at his bar for free.
Surely with Soundcloud being around these days its just a matter of linking them up?
