Jaytee Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Hey.Well I'm keen to get the "Electronic Artists Society" at the Univesity of Queensland (clubs and societies) going again. Since I have very little DJ knowledge, I need a couple of DJ's willing to help set it up, attend some meetups every few weeks, and generally help out and pass on your knowledge through lessons.UQ Market day is coming up in 3 months time. We will set up a stand at the uni and play some music on the day and get people interested in signing up.I was also thinking that we can earn enough money to buy our own equipment for the club, instead of hiring things out. Maybe earn enough to play with the CDJ2000's I hosted a BBQ for a club and we earned over $500 in profit in one day. If you work it out, we can earn a CDJ2000 in around 1 week.WHAT THE CLUB DOES:Meet up ever few weeks to talk about stuff.Hold classes, DJ lessons etc. eg. Hip hop class, House classPlay music at launch parties, and anyone that wanted to DJ could give it a go. Play music at the Red Room Bar now and then.and more...

Cupe Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I'd be keen to get involved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaytee Posted November 30, 2009 Author Share Posted November 30, 2009 I'm currently in contact with one of the past presidents of the club, trying to get more info. They had over 500 members at one point. Somehow it died out.We might also hit up local businesses and clubs for discounts - 5% off drinks or records could be a good thing to offer prospective members.Maybe get sponsoship as well.From what I know we get $500 to start the club.I'll update with more info later.

tramonte Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 hit up store dj for support, might get a discount if you promote them heavily, business cards, fliers, have stickers and advertising for them on your stands...worth a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaytee Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 hit up store dj for support, might get a discount if you promote them heavily, business cards, fliers, have stickers and advertising for them on your stands...worth a tryYeah that's what I'm going to do once I get a few DJ's to help out first. The club actually got free hire and stuff because they advertised them alot. Does anyone wanna hold monthly / fortnightly dj lessons? I need a few dj's to hold classes (possibly in lecture theatres with your hands projected onto the big screen). If I get good enough by half a years time I could hold a class too, but that means lots of practice. Hopefully we earn enough money to buy one or two CDJ 2000s, and a certain amount of CDJ 400s and other gear for the club if we are lucky.

Jaytee Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 Ok still trying to organise and find more about the club. Most likely I will organise lessons / meetings once a month depending on how many are interested. Once I get the go ahead, I will contact local businesses for discounts / sponsorship.

I'm trying to organise something at least once or twice or month, but I'll definitely need help on the 24th of February for the whole day (to get people to sign up for the club, dicuss a little about the club, play some sets either on stage or at the stall taking turns throughout the day, discuss djing stuff)The rest will be teaching / learning how to dj. Playing live sets at the Red Room Bar at the campus (still need to ask the manager but they did it a few years ago). Sharing a bit of your knowledge etc.Location is in Brisbane, St Lucia (University of QLD Campus). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
