Some DJ's take the piss with their [censored] demands.

Try it from a promoters point of view - its very hard to make any sort of money when djs are charging anywhere up to £3000 like for Carl Cox. The advantage of booking Carl Cox for example though is that he is guarenteed to pack the place out!

Fair point but thats absolutely no excuse. When I'm a DJ I'll DJ for no more than £10.

Don't aggree totally... Sometimes you can have a producer who is [censored] behind the decks... This would then put people off going to an event where said producer was going to play...

 

no, i meant the average Producer's efforts at producing (not DJing) is worth more than an average DJ's efforts at DJing

 

IMO

they are worth what we agree to pay though

[Guest]

I think it is down to how they attract. ie a footballer the teams earm Millions, it is only fair that this is reflected in the players pay as that is who people have come to see! (although how can anyone be worth 20million??) on the DJing front for big names I think 500 is a fair figure for an hr and halfs work!, but certain DJ's who get £2500 per set!!!!!! shocking!

[Mr Moo]

Lashes is £2200 all inclusive for an hour.

 

Halliwell costs an extra £90 for a scratch set.

 

Karim is £750.

Glazby is £750.

 

i know....

[Mr Moo]

Depends on a lot of things tho, i mean Illogik played here recently, and my mate who runs the night (Spanked) manage dto get him half price

Agreed. They might not be "worth more" in money terms, and whether they can DJ is a separate issue, but it takes much more skill to produce.

 

And where would the DJs be if there were no producers...?

[dizzycluber1562628592]

a friend of mine asked bk what he charges....he sed £800 for an hour set

[Mr Moo]

If you book through their agent or DJ agency, you can expect to pay

 

tax

booking charges etc etc

 

but if u book directly, u can expect to pay a lot less, or cheaper!
