tips for becoming a promoter/some questions/article idea?

i may be moving back to Austin, TX and as far as i know there isnt a whole lot going on there for my specific ‘scene.’ Houston has a great group of promoters (Dancemofodance–GRRRL Parts djs) that bring in big name dj’s just about every week.

Austin is a huge college town (University of Texas is the 7th largest…i think lol) so with the right promotion, any night there would be a huge success. i have connections/contacts in Austin (i lived there for a few years and began djing there =D), so getting people there shouldnt be a problem.

are there any tips/things i should know before even attempting this? usual cost of artists? riders? how do you go about getting a venue to OK this?

any promoters here cough Miyuru cough that could point me in the right direction


this might make a great article for DJTT! promoting is pretty relevant to djs; most promoters DJ a bit, right? hmmm…maybe i could interview some promoters..?

Would love to hear about this as well. I’ve been a long time show goer, stepping into the realm of DJing, but would love to learn the ropes about promoting.

does djtt have any promoters that can chime in? =D

yeah. i have a double residency at one spot, and promote/dj events in downtown l.a. and the east side of town. we have a old thread i can bring up..brb

Here you go!
