You need to network with the people who are in charge of events.
You can achieve anything in this world if you know the right people. Network your way to the top and have the skills to back it up.
Can you elaborate on networking? Shareing events etc?
Networking is for pussies.
Set up your own night. Once it get’s too big for the bar, start touting it to some of the smaller clubs.

I was about to say networking but then I read this and now i’m rethinking my whole life.
Setting up own night for sure!
I set up an old skool hardcore and jungle night in manchester and got to be resident dj at one of the biggest nights there at the time (1998-2003).
Played with so many of my heros (Mickey Finn, LTJ Bukem, Slipmatt, Ratpack, Freestylers)… warming right up til they play and even going on straight after them for a post headliner set.
Was digging in my loft and found these flyers. Good times
