Picotto's fee
Hello. Does anyone know the sum that Mauro Picotto takes for a "usual" gig? I suppose it is around 10 000 EUR but how much exactly?
Oh, and don't recommend me to contact agent etc. because I have not recieved a reply...
i dont know how you expect any of us to know.
also what do you mean by 'usual gig' djs charge different prices depends on where there playing prices can vary greatly. if he plays at a festival he will charge 5 times than a small club would pay. and its about exposure aswell some djs will refuse to play at nights because its either not big enough or just not well known.
25,000
no i dont know.
It sounds like you have little experience in the field of booking DJs. That is more than likely why his agent has not responded to you, and until you can build a name for yourself it will be tough trying to book big-named DJs.
10,000 Euro for a show? Really? Picotto?
Seems a bit excessive...

| Originally posted by tatoul Some of you on this board know what you're talking about. Many of you do not.....and are pretty dumb to boot. DJ fees depend on a variety of factors, including type of event (eg, club, rave, private party, corporate-sponsored party), size of venue, as well as whether or not the contract is long-term (eg, "residency") or a one-time event. At a club like Crobar NY, a guy like Tiesto (who is at the top with PVD and a few others) was recently paid $50K/night for 2 back-to-back nights (Saturday & Sunday). That's $100K total. That's a lot, it's true, but remember, he has a staff of people that he pays as well, not to mention travel expenses. It's possible to earn even more. For example, at a beach rave in southern Brazil two years ago, I was told (by the organizer) that Carl Cox was paid $60K. Agents for DJs typically want to know the capacity of the venue, the cover charge (if any), the sponsor's marketing efforts and budget, among other factors. Accordingly, for a smaller club like Cielo, the DJ fee will naturally be lower, but Cielo is known to have a top-notch music program in a venue providing an intimate, upscale environment (where DJs can play a little differently, hone their skills, etc). For some events, a top DJ can get a cut of the cover charge...which means his compensation isn't a flat fee, but rather depends on the turn-out that night. DJ fees for residencies are a whole other ball game because the DJ has the club's marketing muscle behind him consistently in one market, and there's real value in that. Finally, in Ibiza, certain high-profile clubs (like Space) do not pay DJs their typical fees because (i) DJ sets are typically only 2-3 hours long; and (ii) there is a prestige factor to spinning there). On a separate note, it's really stupid to measure a DJ's fee as a percentage of how many records he spins in a night or per hour. It takes these guys many many years to achieve what they have, develop their skills, become knowledgeable, not to mention the brutal travel schedule. That's all I have to say on this subject, people. http://www.rhythmism.com/forum/show...02&postcount=95 |
basically enough to buy themselves a brand new car every week or a few days 
When you e-mail his booking agent are you doing it from a hotmail or yahoo account (or something similar)
If so the likleyhood is he won't reply, most booking agents wouldn't.
You need a proper e-mail address (like a business e-mail or one which would look professional) to be taken at least seriously, their not going to just give out mauro's fee to anyone, and they wouldn't expect promoters who have booked him to give it out either.
I don't know how much DJ's usually gets payed for a gig, but I watched a show called "The Club" which was about Club Ice in Las Vegas like last year.
Gatecrasher's founder/owner named Neil something said that they could pay DJ's like $500 for a gig if they're amateurs and trying to make their way up. But they can also get like $25.000 for a gig aswell, That's if they're well known and play at the biggest venues.
Not sure if he was talking a lot of bullshit, but isn't it like that?

People like that always end up flaking when it comes to the deposit, as Im sure the poster of the thread will too once he realizes he actually has to put up money to confirm his show. Nowadays we choose to ingore anyone without a track record |

| Originally posted by RJT Yeah, that's pretty much what I would have guessed, but there has to be some kind of price range for these guys, right? I'm sure it's all very subjective, but I'd guess that each of the "bigger DJ's" out there has his or her bottom line. |

| Originally posted by Groundhog Boy Not really. I can't imagine Sasha could charge that much when I saw him @ Cielo in March, as the club only holds 350, I think, and tickets were only $20. Even if he took everything, that's only $7000. I'm sure he gets more for big clubs like Crobar NYC. I had heard it rumored that when he played Avalon NYC in 2003 for New Year's, he got $125K |

There is no 'set' fee guys... It depends on who you are, the night of the show, the city its in, wether or not its a tour... sooo many factors.
And no, you can't just pick up a phone, or write an email to book a dj.
Ask yourself this: would Mauro Picotto deem it worth his time to play at your event over all the other possible events he could be booked for on the specific date?
