The collective has yet to have anyone leave the group out of displeasure for the way things were runned, or for the opportunities that have been given to them; opportunities that they may have never gotten on their own.
The Collective have been given the opportunity to open for Deadmau5, Hatiras, John Acquaviva, and soon Richard Vision. I've personally Gotten to play the second opening set for John Acquaviva and had gotten a spot playing on the same bill as Hatiras. Those were my first and second times ever playing the clubs here in Toronto so I don't see how being a part of this group is a bad thing for your DJ resume? So you do a couple shows for free, everyone needs to put in their time to get where they need to go and if you don't see that well then good luck on your road to mediocrity.
That being said though, any member of the collective is able to take their cut of their ticket sales and walk, no one holds it against you, so if you want to get paid, you get paid. However, those who keep their money in the collective pot get to experiece things that others won't. This month we have Graham from Thunderheist coming in to speak with us and to review our productions and give us pointers and knowlege he's acquired over the years to help us in starting what we would like to be a prosperous career in the industry. Maybe i'm just the only one who thinks this way, but being new to the industry, getting paid in knowledge and experience is better than any amount of money. Maybe in a few years when Deadmau5 is opening for me will I think working for the experience is total donkey dick.
Alen has also secured opening spots for BPM and the OM party at WMC, to be given out to those who work hard for the team, FYI these are paid spots.
And of course Alen's out to make money, who the hell isn't? Everyone makes money off of everyone, that's how the world works. And regardless of whether or not you agree with Alen's personality, his on screen persona, or his dick sucking abilities, the bottom line is he has the backing, support, and connections to help the people in the group who help him. And who are you? you're a nobody, which is why you have to hide behind an alias when you bad mouth a group of 20 strong.
Good luck with your future though.
