Under negociation

what up guys... I'll give you more details when I have... but here is the thing
remember I was resident at Extreme's in april 2004 ? and got fired ...

well the place closed a while ago and its gonna reopen at the end of april with new owners...

the club will be called System and will have 2 rooms...

now I have been asked to play again... but here are what I want
tell me what you guys think


This time I want to be paid X$ for 2h... or 2X$ for the night(5h)
I want to play what I want, when I want. I'm a DJ .. not a jukebox.


you guys think its too much ?


Posted by djlemeir on Apr-18-2005 23:41:

Well charlie... if the club caters to mainstream hiphop/top40/benny bennassi... ur gonna have to abide to that i think.

unless they want u to open for the place u can play some house or wtvr.

100$hr is a reasonable rate i think. but from past experiences ull get like 70% of wat u asked

If I was a DJ, this is what I would do. If people go listen to you, it's because they like what YOU play, not what others want you to play.

I think your offer is very nice

the $100/hr sounds reasonable, just be like also... give me a change to spin what i like, and if they dont like it... fine I'll become a bloody jukebox!


Posted by djlemeir on Apr-19-2005 00:08:

jester, fuck being a jukebox

cuz i bet if charlie spins crap he doesnt enjoy he wont spin at his full potential

thats how i see it


Posted by kreamy on Apr-19-2005 00:09:

fuck the system...dont be a jukebox, be a dj!

Please Charlie, never give into the top 40 hip hop crap. Play what you you like, if they don't like it, well screw them.


Posted by jester on Apr-19-2005 00:24:

way i see it... they let him try and do his thing... if they do like it he'll leave...

guess one of us really needs to open a club or something to help charlie out and louis... work on their talent.

Well when I played there before I was opening the club with progressive... and I did 2 short sets of pumping beat between hip hop...

I can't play what I don't like because I simply don't buy the records I don't like. SO its either I play my stuff or its nothing.


ok now I they offered me (3X)/2 $ for 1h and a half.
I would be sharing the night with who they think is a good dj (jukebox) and this guy is paid near 10X$ for the night. (apparently that dj can bring a big crowd, thats why he's well paid)
at that price... I would play anything.
anyways... if they approove my things and want to hire me... its better be no bullshit, and with time I could show them that they don't need to have that other dj... lol

but I don't know... I don't feel like being screwed once again.
I have other gigs coming up this summer and if EXtreme don'T want my stuff.. well they can go to hell
