I suppose the best thing u can do is stop waiting, save up some money, and go where the DJ u wanna see is playing i.e. U.S, Ibiza, Amsterdam etc.

If it’s such an issue for you & the dj’s you’d like to see don’t have any contracts with anyone else why not just do it yourself? I’m sure there are clubs in the city that would be willing to work with you & Im not saying do your own mini LOL but something simple… 1 dj, 1 club. Is it really that hard? You might even make some cash.

Originally posted by *~LiSa-LoO~* You're completely misreading what I'm saying. 1. I'm talking about DJs having contracts who are ALREADY coming to Toronto, and thus the club having to bring them back. 2. When in my post did I say that Windsor deserves better parties than Toronto?

1. Most contract would indicate that the DJ cannot play in any other clubs of the same city. I have personally never heard of contracts where the club promises to bring the same DJ over and over unless the club was looking for some discounts.

2. No you got it wrong. What I I meant was that you shouldn't be comparing a small city like Windsor to GTA.

Traveling is the best, but I'm no different than most of you and only get 2 weeks of vacation per year. Once a year vacation plus WMC are all I get for now.

Easier said than done for someone like me, because making money is a bonus but I can't afford to loss.

Are you a booker or talent agent?

1. Like I said, I've never worked in the entertainment biz...so my contract thing was total speculation

2. All I was saying with the whole Windsor/Toronto thing, is that you should be lucky that you have anything period. And quite a variety of clubs to go to at that. Windsor is building up it's EDM scene, and Detroit has had one for awhile...but we don't have the variety of clubs to go that you have in Toronto. The Guvernment isn't the only bar to go to that plays EDM.

And like other people have said, if there's someone you want to bring in...do something about it. There's countless TOTA's alone that promote for all kinds of clubs in Toronto that have thrown parties. I'm sure if you talked to someone you could try to get a DJ you want to come and if your party is a success then you'd probably be able to do it again.

Neither, I'm a recording artist. Although I have been involved with booking a few local DJs. If someone has info on how international contracts work I would be happy to learn, because right now I don't see you two shedding any lights on this matter.

Originally posted by hardcore trancer I havent been to LOL for years and looks like once again there is not much to see this year either.why cant guv bring some new faces and open their minds a little more and think outside the box?

STEVE ANGELLO
SEBASTIAN INGROSSO

^^^ have only been to guv once before.


TOM NOVY
DEVLIN & DARKO


^^^ have never played Guv



as for the others... you gotta go with what will fill the club. it is a business afterall, and realistically you couldn't fill a place that massive with out some of the big tried and tested names.

FFS... i hate it when people who don't know what they're talking about act like they do.

new flash people.. it's not that fucking easy to book DJs.. especially ones that are in demand.

You don't just call up an agent, say you wan't so and so and throw some money at them.. doesn't work like that.

you book based on who's touring where and when, and over and above that, and decent artist is going to be in demand all over the world. That means you'll be competing for them with other promoters/clubs around the world

In fact someone has created such a thread and you are reading it right now. And after all it seems as you are the one who is whining here.


listen whiny ... seriously tho..it gets frustrating to hear people complaining about this city and the guv....the place is not some grassroots non profit edm drop in..it's a business first and foremost...the owner needs to ensure that the experience is a pleasant one for the clientele...AND also make sure that there is some integrity involved when it comes to the bookings...i feel that as far as bookings go..the guv has some serious integrity..meaning that they pay top dollars for some top talent to make sure that the customer leaves happy...do you think AVB comes cheap.. or any of the others for that matter..


it's sad to hear people whining about a line up that consists of at least 5 stellar international dj's as well as countless local ones....not to mention the guv complex is pretty sweet venue...
