DJ Forum

How much is a DJ worth? You read about all these top names being paid stupid amounts for playing, so I ask the question, How much is a DJ worth? Surely there is no guide that exists that says "you must pay this DJ, this amount of dosh" is there? I know amounts vary depending on where/when you play, and some people charge by the hour/by the night, so should there be a 'going rate'? Alot of my friends (non clubbers) rate DJ's as overpaid people, because "all they are doing is reiterating other peoples music", what they dont understand is that DJ'ing is an artform, and what makes different Dj's different is their style, and experimentation. Thoughts?

are any of my new pictures you lot? http://www.appf39.dsl.pipex.com/timhates/

I dont usually come in this forum coz I aint a DJ and naturally thought it would be too confusing for me. I only popped in here looking for track listing for what was played by the DJ's at Smile when I noticed that ALOT of you DJ type people make ALOT of CD's to give away and I aint got many. So if you have any spare, and are willing to donate to a freaky ginger person let me know and I'll PM you my address. Cheers guys and gals.

I've written/produced a new progressive/euphoric trance & track I'd l o v e some comments on it - be they good or bad. I think it's wicked, specially the build in the middle but, hey I'm biased. Thanks, Digital Liquid / Steve Link to listen/stream/download track : http://artists.mp3s.com/artist_song/3409/3409541.html

am i right in thinking that if i wanted to get the sound that little bit louder w/o making it 'clip' i would have to do the following processes: * running it though a compression filter to remove the unnecessary spikes * then normalising it to 0 dbz

Another Night In Chicago ------------------------------------------------ Play | Download (Windows Media) Added as of 2003-09-01 This was based on suggestions from my booking agent (yes I actually have one). When she heard my Groovy mix, she felt that while it was a good house mix, it was not "dark and dirty" enough for a lot of the house promoters that she knew. Taking her suggestion, I ran to Gramaphone to pick up a few new tunes and combined it with some older favorites and a splash of my own vibe. The result speaks for itself. PLAYLIST 1) Remember Chicago - Shuffle Inc. - Vibrant 2) Tonight - H Foundation - Soma 3) Time 2 Jack - Mark Farina - M…
