For Davet before he goes to bat for his homie. If Dave was offered work at $200/ hr for 4000 hours in Sf(2 years) does he take it, or does he do a job share with 10 others to spread the salary around(but take a huge personal paycut)

Markus gets $1 million at sutra, $2 million in LA and SF, $10 million in Vegas per hour.

ummm If I am Markus, who just got voted #1 Dj in America. I would be taking all the gigs that come my way, with hopefully the pay bump he got from get that win.

On the otherhand, I think that any DJ, would take all the gigs he can get period right now. Got to ride this wave and put that money in the bank. Never know whats gonna happen tomorrow. Know what I am saying.??

not sure why you seem to imply the two are mutually exclusive

don't the promoters book the DJ's and not vice versa?

he's going to a play a total of 3 times in avalon for 2012, but 2 are due to special events (NYE & LA 12 release party)

LA loves markus, and the promoters are capitalizing off of it, he wouldn't be booked if he didn't have pull here.

he does sutra once a year, this year 2x but with an album release and halloween week at sutra, can chalk it up as a special event.

ruby skye is also 1x a year, but his open to close set is an album release party as well.

he's following his vegas residency gig to a T like last year, the top DJ was again a special event. he played marquee for easter, once in summer, once in nov, and im sure will close it off with xmas as well like last year with a few pool parties sprinkled here and there.

sutra is also a tue night and ruby is a fri..

And he has to pay to play in Denver?

Stern telling it like it is.. Get as many gigs as possible, as many hours per gig as possible to make as much $ as possible. I can respect that, just make sure we call it as is. He's not doing Sf or la any favors, the guy is getting paid...

maybe next year he starts playing 7 hr sets at marquee like kaskade instead of 2.5 hrs, triple his salary!

Not always. Sometimes the artists hire promoters to put their show together, specially big tours.

he obviously isn't playing for free, but he makes enough from short 2-3 hour sets that he can say, you know what, i don't want to do any extended sets i.e. sander van doorn. playing 10+ hrs in the midst of a heavy tour schedule, radio show, producing, not easy.

i don't think there is a linear supply/demand curve and it works out in our favor in san francisco.

i honestly don't think san francisco could honestly afford some of the djs, but the djs/agencies are willing to discount gigs just so that their dj could do the worldwide circuit of london-nyc-LA-SF-tokyo-vegas-miami-etc.
