Question Money money money

Even though i totally agree with Dj'ing not for the money, i still think its an expensive hobby. How much do the regular Dj's charge for a party or a club sesh? (Ballparking it), And any suggestions for first gigs? Thanks

I think the average local DJ gets approx 200/300 per club night,,, big parites maybe a little more.

In case anyone needs more motivation to spin, I know a small club in Providence, RI booked a local DJ from New York with some mild regional appeal for $16,000 a night monthly residency.

Whoa! That is huge. Well, we all have to take in account on how much we spend on spinning. If you put it all togather, it puts a heavy dent in your pocket.

Truth. So does cocain, weed, gambling, and all sorts of other shit -- so at least we're doing something cool with our wasted money.

my good friend (who i started spinning with)
just got a residency that finally pays decent money
he now makes $150 per hour of djing
and the good thing about that is now he can set that as his base price for future bookings

and the good thing about that is, once he's established, i'll hopefully become a regular guest

Yea, that would be amazing. So how does that work shock? Do you have to play a different set each night? Or do they supply music? What is the normal wage for someone like you who is a guest?

i don't know if and what i'd get paid
and he plays his own records
i guess it really doesn't matter if he plays a different set every night
as long as the people keep coming to dance
