Getting Dj Work...

    Hi All..

    I've been playing for quite a while now... mainly parties and private functions (30th's etc..) but am looking to get a regular gig in central Dub.

    I don't necessarily have to play the same night every week or the same venue for that matter.

    I'm using Traktor with my macbook with the Vestax VCI 100 so its pretty portable and can pretty much play anywhere.

    I prefer to play House / Tech House but can play decent chart / indie / hip-hop depending on the venue / crowd etc...

    Does anyone have any idea how to go about approaching bars / clubs? I have a couple of mixes burnt that I can also upload...

    Dublin seems to be a pretty closed shop DJ wise and its almost all about who you know. Do you go out clubbing in Dublin much to the gigs advertised int eh Clubbing section? Do you know many of the people who run the industry? Best to try to get to know some people and make them aware of their talents, and it might some after that. The DJ scene often has a much greater supply than demand when it comes to DJ's - however most would argue that there is always demand for talented DJ's.

    Get some of your mixes online and promote yourself (I'll gladly feature you here, just get in contact). Use MySpace and the other forums to connect with other DJ's - ask them how they got to where they are and if they can advise you how to best get a gig, or recommend you for one. Offer to do some warm up sets for free and see how it goes from there.

    This is just my experience I'm sure some of the actual working DJ's here can offer better advice.

    Start you own Club and then hire yourself as a resident. Thats my plan.
