-- Pacha NYC cut DJ fees in face of credit crunch
Pages (3): « 1 [2] 3 »

saw that clip last week.
pretty darn funny.

On the subject: nobody will back down from what they're charging because most consider that they didn't come this far with their careers to back down yet. either way, i been in the game too long and its been looking very disappointing more and more the last few year to the fact that i will soon give up on NY nightlife. i am to tired with it over roll. the whole scene is eating itself up & i am getting too tired waiting for the better days.

In other words: I just don't care any longer.

The DJs will charge what Clubs are willing to pay for them. Simple economics. I imagine DJ fees will go down across the floor as clubs feel the crunch.

There are good parties and bad parties all over the area covering all types of genres and crowds. If you can't find something you like around these parts I feel sorry for you.

you should see wmc parties.

inflation on every pre sale. FMIF starting @100 bucks.

shit it more expensive than it's ever been. fuk that shit.

what are promoters/dj's smoking charging that much?

when i look back into the days...the better days
things would be so smooth
people were danceing...people were smileing
the music was pumping
there was a feeling
life was a party...the party was life
but some how things changed
it just dont feel the same
have you ever though about the days
you know...the better days
do you ever try to come up with the ways..
you know... better ways
to make it feel like it did...in the better days

I LOL'ed at this

There's very few dj's I would pay over $15 to see at any local venue.

Most of the artists I follow don't cost that much to see, and ironically they're a lot more talented than the 'big time' headliners these days.

I would 1000% be down for this if he got booked. Have never seen him and I LOVE his stuff.

DJs are definitely sensitive to what's going on in the global economy, as Josh WInk shares here in his Beatportal Blog:

"The economy and recession seem to be a global concern and happily, is openly talked about in our industry, especially at dinners. I�ve noticed that there seems to always be talk of a decline in attendance at parties, which is a big concern as this is one of our livelihoods. People can buy music online, but we need people in the clubs and venues to support the scene! "

Booking a DJ is way more complicated than one might think. Most "big" DJs are represented by agencies like Excession, AM Only, Bullitt, Ornadel Management, etc....Now these agencies are most clever. If a club like MOS wanted let's say Tiesto using his agency AM Only, it is kind of an unwritten rule that MOS also use some of their lesser known DJs for future club nights or run the risk of never being able to book Tiesto again. And sure, booking fees may be slightly less due to the economy with both DJs looking for more work and clubs looking to cut costs but it is never an easy task. Some borderline DJs that shall remain nameless have all kinds of strange requests put into their riders (special hotels, massive amounts of liquor, DJ booth requirements, food requests, etc) that it would be easier to pay them more. One DJ we booked actually complained that the Tribeca Grand was an unsuitable hotel and demanded a room in his favorite hotel The Mercer at the last fucking minute.

But trust me, the big guys get PAID. I keep using him as an example but Tiesto was paid 90k to play Avalon Boston, NYC, and Hollywood over the course of 3 days. Not bad for a weekend's work.

Thanks bro.....unfortunately I haven't played to a live crowd in almost 2 years. I got a pretty serious day job and there's no way I could really immerse myself into the scene like I did for Avalon all those years. I miss it a ton though....I actually fired up my CDJs and TTs a few nights ago with a bottle of scotch and man, was it a blast!

good to hear man. Are you still open to playing out? or you've kind of just lost the desire with the whole being-busy thing.
