Originally posted by techead nice reply Joel Congratulations and power too you I wish you nothing but sucess Just curious though You mention having to pay for flights and hotels, yet every rider I have had to fullfill (and thats a lot of riders over the years for a lot of A list DJ's) has almost always included at the very least Business class flights in and out of town and 4 star or boutique hotel accomodation as well as Transport, meals or buyout , not to mention the backstage rider. So here is the question, you are definately A list now so why are you paying for these yourself Russ

Though I know nothing of Joels contracts...

I deal with DJs and contracts on a regular basis. Normally these days clubs/promoters pay an "all in" fee that includes performance and airfare for the artist and tour manager/gear. It makes our lives easier to not have to deal with co-ordinating and paying for flights. such a pain in the ass. Most agencies have someone in house that deals with that sort of thing as well.

Hotel usually is taken care of by the promoter/club, but some talent offer a buy out. Same goes for food, but I've booked a couple of guys that take a per diem instead.

Ground transportation is normally taken care of by promoter/club

Rider at the club is taken care of by the club/promoter

Club sluts are free

Biggest rider I've had an artist give me was 9 pages!!

Hi Evan

i've also been dealing wih DJ contracts for about 20 years now but whose counting (fux showing my aga again)

To say that flights are normally included is not something i have dealt with
In the last couple of years i have had to buy way to many flights for dj's
and hotels.
Very often you have to book the flight using the travel company choosen by the DJ/agency thereby ensuring even more profit for them, so I guess I see where you are coming from with regards to an all in price, but it is always a plus on top of the fee regardless

well yes the fee will be a little higher if it's all in... and it's the same price in the end.. but less to worry about for the promoter.

This is the way everyone usually does it now, though I'm sure there is the odd exception.

I concur. Great insights. The same can be said about anything from tunes to butter. It takes money and time to create a brand...but in order to obtain long term financial security...brand creation is absolutely necessary. I also think it's quite awesome that one of the biggest producers in the world calls Toronto home. In Sasha's interview about Invol2er on the GU site he references Toronto as a place where "the best" music is coming out of. It was really cool to hear that. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that he was probably referencing Deadmau5.
