When a promoter is PAYING

[LadyAdora]

It's a shift thing, like a crew at McDonald's

Thanks for the understanding Dave.

In reference to this topic, the whole party/nightlife genre is oversaturated with alot of DJs and promoters not paying their dues. After reading alot of the posts in this particular forum, I find that MOST of them (the amateurs) are not caring about the quality of their work but the quantity of what's going in their pockets.

With lines like that, absolutely not ...

Cats that lack the basic skills of following the rules, showing respect and adhering to protocol - and instead are not punctual, go over their time, and show their ass - usually fail in every aspect of life ... DJing is just a glimpse into their miserable being.

hee hee.

you to play their party..It is up to you the DJ to beat that time slot like you owned it or move the fuck on...You are not a DIVA...Everybody is so concerned about such minor shit like this..Sounds like some bitchness..."Whaaaaaa, I wanna play in this time slot"...Just do your job and STFU!!..It's their (promoter) party and they can dictate when they want you to play..Maybe they have a reason for wanting you to go first or second or third etc: Geeeezus!! Be a professional and just play your time slot..Oh and if you have all of these so called " peeps" that are coming out to hear you..maybe they need to get their asses their earlier..I mean since they REALLY want to hear you play...And if they DO...they WILL..

A good DJ can play ANY slot or DON'T take the gig!!

Dayum right. Of course one would want the spot where everyone can hear them but that can't be everyone. You're getting paid, so play that shit like there is no tomorrow and fuck where you are at in the line up.

Your bitch ass shouldn't have signed on to be on a multi DJ gig to begin with.

AMEN!!!! No truer words have been spoken...

[sahib]

Unless you are pulling MASSIVE numbers just by your name alone IMO you should just play the slot that you are paid to do and do a good job..So what if there was noone there when you played..The promoter is still checking you out...Opening up a party allows you to set the tempo and actually play some out of the box type shit...I LOVE opening up a party..Going from very slow to mid-tempo to beatin' it..It is a skill that I love to practice..Blending different tempos and setting a mood..Not just coming on a running peak hour joints..

THATS HOW YOU FREAKING LEARN PLAYING EARLY .BELEVE ME SOMEONE IS ALWAYS LISTENING, ALL THESE SO CALLED JOCKS SAY I WANT TO PLAY PEAK ETC... BUT PUT THEIR ASSES UP THERE AND SEE IF THEY CAN PLAY THE WHOLE 8 9 HOURS AND THE ROOM WILL GET QUIET!!! JUST BEAT THE DAMN THING AND IT WILL GET AROUND YOUR TALENT WILL SHINE JUST LIKE THE SUN.....................1

I feel you on this one. Pahleease. All the time. I went to a party earlier this year where Kevin Hedge was the featured guest dj. One dj wanted his time slot changed w/another dj because he couldn't get off work and asked to close. The other dj-whom most of the crowd was there for, should have closed. To me, what ever happened to asking for that day off in advance, if this event is so important to you. Then, he showed up drunk, nobody came out for him and by the time he got on, the crowd was gone.

Had an unprofessional show up 5 min to 9, when he had to be on at 9. He wanted to close. I told him, by the time you set up and finish your sound check, your set will be over...bye bye.
