I play for the love of money.

I've played hiphop, house, disco, salsa, trance, ebm, downbeat I dont give a fuck

First time I was ever asked to do a trendy party they asked if I was a Euro/ KTU type dj and I made like Eddie Jemison ("Yes I Am": Budweiser). Went out looked up the top 20 records on the KTU playlist, bought em and played em all the way thru..threw in Rob Base, Flash, Abba and the Gypsy Kings and aint never looked back

fuck all dat bullshit

hiphop, house, I dont give a shit if its Yodeling Andy - imma play dat bad boy and cash some fucking checks

I NEED THE MONEY cuz pussy, drugs and rent aint cheap

and like my man Benny, I got 12 kids to feed

"for just the price of 1 gig, you to can help feed a Dj for a week.. 1 gig thats all it takes.. Dig deep.. Call 1900-Starving-Dj and join the race to Dj hunger"

As much as its good to get paid, if you don't enjoy it you won't be good at it.
If your good at it you can make alot more money, if your doing it JUST for money, maybe look into doing something you really love........ If your doing it cos you get off watching people dance, you'll be sweet :D

Let me put you in your place woman.... I have a 9-5 job that is very financially rewarding to me. Now days mixing is a pastime for me. I'm a grownup and a family man, kid. I've been mixing since around 82-83. I don't DJ full time since I attended and graduated from the University of Chicago back in 91. I have a shit load of records I'm a vinyl collector. I get guest spots here and there and I don't expect to get paid for a few hours to spin. I enjoy mixing, now if I were spinning full time of course I expect to get paid. Now my question to you is what the hell do you spin? How long have you been spinning cause you sound like you want to talk shit without knowing one thing about me or how I spin.

Maybe so... But the person who enjoys it will be a million times richer.

I can understand Milo's perspective on this, like.... Sometimes, you look at it and its like "we're just playing other peoples music for a few hours, we're enjoying ourselves, its not WORK, we don't need to be paid"

I see it like that when I'm doing something for people I know, and by all means I'll throw them a free gig. They know I got the gear for it and shit so even if theres no celebration if their like "I'm having a bbq can you bring your gear and make it a house party" I'm like "yeah sweet" because I love it.

But.. It has been the main source of my income... And I wont lie it HASN'T made me rich... But I don't need to be rich. I'm happy. ... I sponsor a child in India named Najeem I think, with the Save the Children charity. That takes out more money from my account monthly than I can afford, but, Djing has paid a better life for her. And to me thats what its about. I'm not gonna say I'm a TALENTED dj, because I'm not, but I enjoy what I do to an extent where, for me to be truly happy, I have to be surrounded by it. I NEED to be involved with music daily for me to feel comfortable with my life. But I also needa make a living, and so I've created way's to make money doing what I love. And some might see that as selling out, but when you do what you love, you realise you don't need extras. Your making money, but you wake up and you feel like your not going to work... it feels like you don't have a job and that your cheating the system because you enjoy it. .... So you look at the little extras and it's like, "someone else can use that more than me"

You might be happy doing what you do day to day, but for some people, Music is what makes them happy day to day. It shouldn't be a crime to get paid, it shouldn't be a crime not to get paid. Whats important is that the person doing the job is happy to be there. And that applys to any job. No person anywhere should ever be sad or un happy with their life. In order to get the most out of life, we should be happy, in order to be happy you need to spend your life doing what you love. Dj's who get paid, should feel honoured, Dj's who don't should be happy in what they do.

You know what.... You guys needa stop fighting and learn from eachother, it will only make you BOTH better.

Milo is right, rich people are always looking for money. Alot won't get off their ass if their not getting paid, how ever on the other hand alot feel ashamed to take money because to them its for the love of it.

You needa realise if you love it, and you can make the world a better place with it, THEN DO IT.. Happiness spreads, if Djing makes you happy, then do wat you do everyday, let it makes others happy, whether it be from making them dance or spending the money you earn to make life easier for others.

One might of been spinning for 20 years, another might of been spining for the same amount for all I care, I only been spining for 7. Which ever boat your on, I think you'd both a agree, whether you view Djing as a business, or a hobby......... If you can do what you love to make others happy, then DO IT! . Don't fight and bitch about it. Be SMART about it...

Both of your perspectives clearly gives you both strengths in different aspects. With 2 perspectives combined you can cover more horizons because theres one looking one way, one looking the other, your not turning your head and leaving your back unguarded (metaphorically speaking) .......


Djing is NOT about music. ... Djing is NOT about money... Djing is about people. The sooner you figure that out, the sooner allllll this bullshit politics leaves you. Its not about playing just what you love as an artform. Its not about playing everything you hate to make a profit, its about uniting people in DANCE and Music. It's about celebrating life, and its spreading joy.. In all its forms. Remember before your a Dj your a person.

Mr. PWW I hear what you saying & ain't saying (cause I read between your hustling souless words, just kidding) but there have been plenty of times people wanted me to dj at their party playing stuff I don't even spin or get into but the fact they wasn't even paying me enough to $25 - $100 to purchase the records & recoop any profit afterwards is just a waste of time when I know most known djs in my area get paid $200 to $700 to do the same gig someplace else.

I've even had one club owner ask me to make a mixcd for him instead cause I told him what my going rate was to do a party for 500-1000 people for 5 hours; well I just told him I would get back with him & afterwards I never got back in touch with him ever again that phukin' cheapskate. :cussing:

I've done plenty of gigs for free (mostly spinning house cause I love to spin it out when I can) hell yeah I would love to get some dough for the effort & time I put into doing them regardless what I did; you know there are people who still do gigs for the love of the music & publicity.

I like how cats still come in here and somehow think that it will help win their case if they state that

- they started mixing in 1952 (i.e. they practically invented the craft)
- they own a truckload of vinyl, they are in fact collectors and, thus, universal connaisseurs by birth
- command public regard for their once-in-a-blue-moon guest performances.....

.....and then come at you with a hearty, condescending "How long have YOU been spinning blahblahblah", neck-rolling, finger-snapping, and sucking their teeth.

Usually when people are all overly melodramatic about shit it's cus they trying to pretend they are that when they are the exact opposite. Just like when people say they are all about the music and how music is like all there is to life.

Good example is there is this one kid who backstabbed me like 4 times in one scenario. Mug did some shady ass shit to me and a few other people I know. I'm talking outright shady!!! And pretended like he knew nothing about and thought I was oblivious to his backstabbing but had been informed by others whom he had no idea were close friends of mine.

Read his page recently and saw the most humblest, wise sounding propoganda I ever read. Sounds all great on paper and all but knowing his tru ways made me wanna gag reading the shit. Talking about how important the music is and how people can stray from keeping it pure because of the politics and being vain and shallow.

both sides of this arguement dont understand the other.

The ones who DON'T get paid, I feel think the ones who DO get paid are sell outs.

The ones who DO get paid, think the ones who DON'T are just acting all 'Keep it real' as an act.



I know a Dj who gets paid, every year asks me to fucken, vote him for the 'In The Mix Top 100 Djs' .. In publications acts like 'its all about the music man' .... he says that cos he wants the public to believe he's like, Mr Nice guy so he becomes #1 on these lists and shit... Money and fame.

Black Wax... I've NEVER had a good job... Ever... closest I've come is Djing, the way I see it, it's all I know and I don't even know it very well so I might as well make the most of it.

Those saying "its bullshit they do it for the music" youve gotta accept that their life doesn't revolve around it like ours does. They do what they do, and thats their life. But as I said before, your all focussing on the wrong thing... Whats important is whether or not your happy when you play, and thats it.

I know for me, the only places I feel comfortable are a night club and my bedroom.... Stop focussing on the bullshit aspects of playing someone elses music and use your talents to make the world a better place.

at the end of the day you agree a price upfront you accept the price or dont
I tend to only do cheap gigs if im the only guest or something else about the gig has really grabbed my attention (a little like chicago jammy you no how i do it)

As much as I enjoy my time and music...I gotta get paid for it.

I have fun playing music and yes I also do a discounted or free gig erry blue moon,but it has to be beneficial to me.

I have a day job,so I don't eat off of playing records,but still,I can't be taken advantage of.

It's happened before and it'll never happen again,cause folks love a cat who is all into his music.Why?Cause he could give a fuck about the money,so they get the fuck over on the cat and they end up burnt out and used and abused.

They then jump on the next thirsty muthafukka and the cycle continues.

Value yourselves and your art.

Shit,pussy ain't even free,so why should your services be?

This subject is gonna be difficult anyways,cause folks have their own reasons for doing what they do.

I just speak from experience and am honest enough with myself to know and admit when I got the short end of the deal.

Some cats can't even realize that they are being used.I can.

I now chose to do gigs.Before,I didn't,I just did um.

Hopefully,someone can learn from my experiences and not be a fool for the music.

Definately the lesser known Djs etc get less, but thats because their seen as being worth less, because they carry no reputation there for theres no assurance their name on a bill will draw a crowd. Often new talent will play for free for the oppertunity to establish their identity as a Dj.

But theres a difference.. Professional means, they do it as a carreer, its their job and so forth.. Amateure means something else. If your playing alongside a superstar and he gets $500,000 and you get nothing, some people would see playing alongside a Dj worth that much as honourable enough to not warrant any payment. If you have the chance to play alongside a legend and test your skill with them are you gonna pass it up because your not getting paid?

I've done numerous gigs where I was under the impression I wasn't getting paid, only to be called the next day "age you forgot your pay". Personally, I see getting paid as a Dj, as an honour. I find it honourable that people want me to perform to them so much so that theyre offering me money. But thats because I love it, thats because for me it's a big deal to recieve money for a gig even though its been my main bread and butter. Thats why it means so much, their paying me to be me... But on the same token, sometimes, if your SERIOUS about where your career is heading, you HAVE to weigh up the price of the gig. Sometimes your offered priceless oppertunities, reason being is, we work with people, and people are priceless, and so, you have to weigh up the costs. Sometimes it's actually worth more to do a gig for free. You might do it free, the organisers might say "hey he was good, and cheap to warm up for this guy... Lets get him again" as it goes, that working relationship builds, until THOSE specific organisers might not be paying you, because by the time YOUR headlining their events youve probably been their bitch so long that you've become friends and cant charge them..... But, OTHER crews might see your success from them, and then give you gigs, and think "he was worth it for them, we need to offer more" not knowing you did it for free, thus, you end up getting paid more.

You have to pick and chose depending on how far a particular gig can take you. When your headlining major events every week for 300,000 people, of course you'd be charging to perform at them, until... Someone offers you a better, more priceless oppertunity.

This really is just as good as Jerry's screamin' chair-throwin' circus.

"You got a f*cked up attitude about the entertainment biz - you think that making your money outside of the entertainment biz justifies that sh*t"

"You got a fucked up attitude about entertainment 'cause you make your money in the sh*tty entertainment biz"

"I'm not a star entertainer, but I'm hot sh*t"

"You're a jackal"

"You're a discredit to your race"

"A**hole"

"Cretin"

"You beeyotch"

"You got a small d*ck"

yeah, but at least I AM NOT THE FATHER!!!!!

Much as I enjoy masturbation, if it doesn't pay, I am not going to play. The masturbation game is full of wankers who do it "for the love".

William Wilson,

Have you really never met anybody who gave up a lucrative career to pursue artisitc passions, knowing that they wouldn't find financial success there?

I know numerous such people, who are happily painting, sculpting, making music, teaching yoga, etc.... doing odd jobs to get by.

they all seemed to have paid off homes, fully funded pensions and stock options that hit big

so when they say "they dont need the money" i can believe it, cuz they clip coupons on triple tax free paper

one cat i knew like that was talking to me about the design of neural networks...this was back in 89...lil did i know

NakedAge.. Do you have capoeira classes in Australia?


A DJ is a professional term. Disk Jockey. Someone who plays the shit professionaly and gets MOOONEEEEY for it. Everyone else is in love with the music and plays charity gigs (i'm including myself). STOP CALLING YOURSELF DJs.

Djing as an artform MY ASS... 0.001% of people who play records are actualy artistic.

I'm sorry I didn't mean that in a hippie context it's just, I thought here, my views would be accepted, and I'd be able to learn... Not be labelled as unimportant for being a Kangaroo Rider.

And Piotr Rasputin ... I'm fairly sure we DO have them, though I've never been to one.

I agree when you say its NOT an artform... I Dj as a job, it makes me money.
But out of respect for that, I try to make music aswell... Like, its just fun to do... Djing might not be an artform, but it's fun. I get off on watching people dance, and realise I might not have the artistic talent to do that myself as a musician, but, why not become a Dj and do it with other peoples music?

The point is though... It doesn't matter if you do it for charity or a job, so long as your happy doing it. As long as you enjoy it, your going to be better at it, doesn't matter if your a pro or not. I used to do it for free for friends and stuff, until like, I was seeing these results that were amazing, and I kept getting gig after gig to the point I wasn't even going out anymore, so I thought "fuck, might as well get paid for it"

I think the only REAL difference is... If your honoured enough to be paid to Dj,
then you should take the time to treat it professionally. Dress for the occasion, put that extra effort in to make your sett that little bit more better.
Be that little bit politer, play that one song you don't like that everyone else doesn't, go that extra mile because people are giving you money THEY'VE earnt. They've worked hard to get you in there, so you should work hard to give them their moneys worth. If your doing it for free, then they shouldn't expect anything.

the world just hasn't got enough greed at the moment.

This thread will properly redress the balance, because the world isn't nearly as greedy as it could be.
