  1. cool record...need instrumental...realystik731@gmail.com
  2. i look at it like this, if you are willing to pay a live band $1500 for a 1-2 hour show you can pay me $500-1200 for 2-4 hours at your club...this is with different markets and the size of the club in mind...i take into account the draw from the door and bar(s)...i have been in and out of the dj game for the last 18yrs...i practice just as hard as a band...i rock a crowd harder than most if not all bands...i am a draw for any club ive dj'd for...in most instances, the crowd wait til' the band is done then enter the club when the dj comes on...so yes i expect to get paid top dollars for my talents...times are tough and i have adjusted some services for customers for parties but for a clubs and events that draw 100s and 1000s of ppl, why should the dj be the one who take the hit??? im talking bout real djs. -underbidding is nothing new...ppl have done this since the beginning. -a big problem is technology helped introduce many lame wanna-be djs into the industry, basically watering down the game...easy access to the music from the internet and music based programs has prolonged the stay of so-called djs who really just play music and dont understand the art of crowd control...before digital music i believe 75-80% of these wanna-be's wouldn't be in the game today if they had to dig in crates like many of us several years ago...the real djs invested heavily in the record stores and the label promoters knew who we were...everybody down to the bootleggers and hustlers on the streets can call themselves djs because they have some music the real djs made hot. -the other real problems, in my opinion, is us (the real djs)...we have made it easy for the wanna-be djs to claim and even exist in the game...you need to take it upon yourself to build up the audience in your city and region to recognize the difference between these lames and a high quality dj...call these lame azz djs out for violating the code!!! for examples, playing songs off mixtapes bc they dont have it or pretending to mix music when the computer program/mixing board does it for them or for using a computer base player to play music and trying to talk over the end of a each song while they find another one...put these muthaf*ckaz on blast...force em into a corner were they have to prove themselves or else get the f*ck out the game...force the decision to select from real djs onto the club owners and promoters or put them out of business...make it extremely difficult were they have to contact you for shows. if they are using these underbidding ppl they are truly hurting the progress of your talent in your city by keeping the real hits from your audience...have you noticed when you try to play new music the crowd is often lost like a deer in headlights and you find yourself questioning your talents when you know a song is a hit??? i say click up with real djs, do solo projects, consistently throw parties, and host events on those club biggest nights...f*ck it, sabotage them like theyve sabotage the dj game...i feel thats how hard we need to go at them in order for us to solidify our position as real djs and get paid for our skills. forcefully change the minds of the promoters and club owners by change the mindset of their customers...in business, the demand of the customer is the driving force behind business decisions...ReaL
