i want to see how many djs are still in the bedroom, have played out a couple of times but are still in the bedroom, those who don't have a residency but play a few scattered gigs and finally those who are working djs, such as those who have residencies and play out to significant numbers each week.
i myself am a working dj
i play each week at my clubnight called Thirsty
it's a small venue, about 200 each week, give or take
plus i play guest appearences often at other clubs |

yup, had a few gigs here and there. i think its mainly through lack of botheredness and not recording a ing thing that i don't get more regular gigs.
it is however a bit of a new years resolution to pull my finger out my arse and get some chuffing demos dished out. |

| I'm still pretty much a Bedroom DJ, have played out a fair bit, but most was mainly back in England, I'm like Tu_Face, and have decided to pull my finger out my ass aswell and get out playing more. |

I would think having a finger in your arse would stimulate you...
Perhaps even make you a better dj?
I guess not if you only have one hand free.
Anyways, I'm bedroom for now. I've been asked to do house parties before, but I know I wont like it, and that people wont like me.
As far as clubs go, I havent bothered as I just turned 16. I dont think they can hire you under age... |

i see you're from calgary, come down to the sambuca lounge on thursday with a cd, we're always looking for new talent
the best advise i can give to aspiring djs, go to the night you want to play at all the time, become a fixture there, then once you get to know everyone toss the promoter a cd
you're more likely to get a gig if you're the promoter's friend than if you just sent them a cd
it's like "ok, you've supported my night for a while, i'll give you a shot in return" |

| Hey Tony will do man, I been down there afew times, love the atmosphere and music, and the cheap drinks are just a bonus, but obviously I ain't down there enough, I'm just always busy doin something, but I plan to make more free time this year, gotta love local talent, I've enjoyed more local sets than Big DJ sets in my time. |

Still in the bedroom mostly.
Have played a few house parties, would love to get out into the Calgary scene, but it really seems to be struggling right now. Alot more house heads than Trance fans I find.
Working right now on getting a residency time slot on AudioEClipse on Party107 radio. Just not quite the same as spinning a clubnight. |

| I guess Im still in the "bedroom". I prefer in my livingroom.:toothless I used to spin mostly house partys we threw and I did a few clubs. I was on the radio a couple times too. I prefer doing it on my own. I dont want to be a big DJ or anything, its just my hobby. I had a few sweet offers to fly to a location, I just didnt want to. Its been about 3 years sense Ive spun live to a crowd. I kinda miss it, but when Im on the table Im in my own world anyway. |
