Jaz Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 so i just found out that the young DJ (19) at my small local club will most likely be moving at the end of the yearnow i want to weasel my way in there early so when he does leave i get the spot, he isnt the main DJ doing saturday nights but he does Wednesdays and goes halfs fridays i believe so that would be sick! + this is the smaller club in my town but they are much more popular simply because they have cheap entry, cheap drinks, and better music + all the fuckwits tend to like the other club...so how should i go about this guys?cheers Quote
lloydc Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 you gotta be there a lot, and make sure the promoter/manager/whoever hires you sees you. Essentially you're gonna have to make friends with this person. give them a demo cd after a while and tell them that you're happy to fill in if someone can't make it one night.edit: you got plenty of time to do it Quote
Jaz Posted June 6, 2011 Author Posted June 6, 2011 whats S&D , Search and destroy?and nah no gigs there yet, its that 1st approach thats the hardest...he is a nice bloke from what ive seen though (wife is smoking hot to) Quote

Jaz Posted June 6, 2011 Author Posted June 6, 2011 well i speak to both the current DJ's there from time to time, for instance 1 of them tonight, he just said come down for a short mix 1 night so that might be the best way to do it Quote
dim Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 ^ sounds like you have a foot in the door. Play whenever they offer you the chance but show them your range of abilities i.e. ask what they want: to hear your best banging set right away or for you to read the room and do a warm up if that's what seems suitable at the time. Always have a demo CD ready to give over but hope they dont need it if they hear you live.What lloyd said too. Keep it mellow and cool and do it friendly, you've got time.P.S. Keep your eyes open tho, you may not be the only one with this plan... Quote

Cupe Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 just go there and frisby a cd at his neckholy fuck that's awesomenew sig Quote
CapFive Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 speak to the owner, and the guy who is leaving, these 2 people will be key in getting that spot, the guy who is leaving can recommend you for his spot and the owner will ultimately make the final decision, and like the other boys said, have a demo CD ready but most of all be ready at anytime to jump on the decks, also treat this like any other job interview, let him know you are interested in the club itself and one day want to resident THERE not anywhere else because you love the atmosphere of HIS club (in other words)s his d Quote

Jaz Posted June 6, 2011 Author Posted June 6, 2011 lol he's a club owner, im sure he can afford it haha Quote
J0rdz Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 - BE SEEN! Make sure every time you're at the club you make yourself known to the owner, or whoever is running the nights.- HASSLE! Every time you see the owner/promoter, hassle them about gigs (if you're not already playing). Give them mix CDs, tell them about other gigs, etc. The more you hassle them, the more likely they'll remember you. Majority of the time, you'll get booked simply because someone remembered you, not purely on your skills. Harsh, but true.- GUEST LIST. Ask if you can hand in a guest list, or start promoting for the club night. Show them that you can pull a crowd and that you know people. Quote
