FAO people in the loop, but not promoters - i.e. Big Mouths
Most of you guys know this…but apparently not all
When it comes to booking DJs, there are certain rules we all have to abide by. Confirming a DJ before announce him is only 1/4 battle; Controlling here say is the other 3/4. If a DJ is booked at a "major event" (Spundae, Giant, or a Rave), the promoter is given ample time to market and promote the event. The flip side to this coin is "SPECIAL EVENTS." Let’s take Monday Social for example. If a DJ is spinning at “major event” on Saturday, and he is booked to play Monday Social, the booking is contingent on a limited promotion time, and silence until an agreed upon time. (NOT UNTIL AFTER THE “MAJOR EVENT”) Thus the guest DJ is not announced until Sunday or Monday. This protects the “exclusivity” of the original contract, and does not dilute the previous promotion.
Here is my point . . . If you happen to hear that a DJ may be spinning at a “special event” and the promoter of the event has not announced it . . . It’s for a reason . . . SO KEEP YOU FUCKING MOUTH SHUT!!! Posting the news on a message board (any message board) or emailing your friends about it, no matter how honorable your intentions are, can have major repercussions against the event and the promoter of the “special event.” If the promoter of the “major event” feels threatened, he can take legal action against all parties involved due to a violation of the “exclusivity” clause contained in 99% of all DJ contracts, and sue for 100% of the booking fee.
I know it feels cool to know about inside information, but if you are told something, or even overhear it, don’t be that ASSHOLE.
