Thinking about starting a DJ agency...
Hi folks,
Recently I have been thinking about starting up a DJ agency. In part because I am currently pissed off with the one I am signed to at the moment and most of my gigs now come through my connections that I have made and are nothing to do with the agency yet they still charge for using me (I gotta stop writing such long sentences...)
Initially this agency would just provide another chance for DJs to put their contact information and give them a chance to promote themselves to their local clubs etc. The plan would be for you guys to be able to say here is my agency... you get the picture.
With regards to money, there would be no question of me taking any payments or anything as I would be using the site for the above reason myself and nothing else. At this stage it is purely intended to be used for promotional purposes.
I can not guarantee any bookings as a result of this site but on the other hand what have you got to loose?
In short it's basically a list of TA DJs (and a few others) and a little about them, picture and how to contact them etc.
I have to be firm on this though and say that initially I am only looking for DJs who play out at the moment for the main part of the agency but I will be looking to create an up and coming section so that the younger guys can get in on the action.
In other words if you are interested it doesn't matter what level you play at, as long as we feel that you are able to hold your own then I will have a place for you on the site.
What do we need from you?
- Initially all we need from you is a demo mix. Just PM me a link with your mix and who you are and I will give it a listen. To make my life a little easier I would also appreciate that you tell me in the PM the minutes when you are mixing. Not because I can't tell, but given the volume of mixes so far I can't listen to the whole thing but will listen enough to get the feel. Another thing to remember is that it doesn't have to be a full CD. 40 minutes is enough but if you want to do more it will be greatfully recieved.
Once you get accepted? - A contact e-mail address.
- A contact number (optional but will help you more if you do)
- A picture of you (Needen't be of you DJing but has to show your face clearly.
- Your current top 10 tracks (Needs to be updated at the beggining of every month.
- A list of places you have played (Mandatory if you qualify for the agency part, optional for the up and coming part).
- A small Bio that talks about your influences and how long you have been DJing and anything else you feel we need to know.
- Types of music you play.
- The format you use.
Just so you know... you don't have to play trance to get on this.
I'm looking for all sorts of DJs and am looking for a healthy representation on all styles of music.
In time I will also be looking for producers and eventually also looking at hosting a weekly online radio show where we feature a DJ from the agencies mix.
Later on I hope to be able to offer domain e-mails etc. to you guys too.
Just a few things I have planned for the near future.

Ok guys, I have thrown down the gauntlet on this and would be interested in hearing what you have to say about it.
All contructive comments welcome, if on the other hand you just want to gloat or flame then take your bad self somewhere else.
All the best
Nem
