Land DJ Gigs
May 28th, 2008
One important thing you need to do to start landing DJ gigs at the clubs you want, is to visit those clubs all the time. Don’t spread yourself too thin, visiting many different clubs in the hopes that you’ll meet the right person at one of them, narrow the number of venues you visit to about 2 or 3. Get to know everyone that works at those places. Become a regular. Meet the managers and talent booker, even the owner if possible. The big secret in the DJ world is that many promoters or club managers don’t book DJs just because they are good DJs, they book them because they know them personally, like them, and they can bring a big crowd (ie: have a lot of friends). So if you want to start getting all kinds of calls for DJ gigs, I suggest you be as friendly as possible to all the people that work at a particular club, as well as the patrons. Get to know everyone so well that they will always come out to see you spin when you do get some gigs at one of the clubs.
