Make a List of Clubs
March 8th, 2008
All DJs have a list of clubs they want to eventually play at, but the list is usually only in their mind. One thing I’ve learned over the years is to write down my goals, and continually go over them and take small steps to accomplishing each one. Write down a list of 3 or 4 clubs in your area that you wish to play at. Then make a point of visiting each one, and introducing yourself to the manager or owner. Keep the meeting simple. Bring some demos with you, but don’t offer to give it to them if they don’t ask. You can always give them a demo later on, when you know them a bit better. Just get the manager’s name, email, and phone number if you can. Tell the person how much you love the venue, and other low key kiss-up things. Keep it quick, don’t be annoying or egotistical, and know that if the manager is busy it is not a good time to talk with them. Keep any contact info for club managers and owners in a list along with other information about the club.
