| Here's the scenario... A club is hiring me to help them produce a dance music party. They are willing to pay $4k USD for a DJ. This money will need ot cover the DJ's expenses, hotel, etc, etc. I don't know how much DJs cost, so if anyone can offer some suggestions that will be great. Hopefully it's a trance DJ but if I can't do that, another genre would be good too. |

check out some DJs websites! most of them would have a contact address for such things! im sure you could just send an email to enquire about what kind of fee they usually take to play a gig! and if they want too much or whatever just go find some one else!
good luck :tongue2 |

| I am probally mistaken but the cost to hire a "famous" DJ is huge. Heard some of them get 50kish plus for a normal gig, and some make hundreds of thousands for big events. But like I said I am probally wrong. I guess it would depend who you consider "famous" |

Icey, Christopher Lawrence, and George Acosta are all under 4k... And I think they are biggest famous..
I think PvD would cost around 40k. |

Another thing u got to consider is how many hours the DJ has got to play for. I mean 4K is less than what PvD earns an hour.. :rolleyes: So u might have to consider that too. Another thing u might want to do is, have a look which DJ is on tour around that area, and get in touch with his managers and organise a 2 hour set before or after his regualr tour set, and get local DJ's to fill in the rest of the night?
Just a thought. |

George Acosta is going to cost anywher from 5-8k for a weekend event.
you have to keep in mind DJ's cost more on Friday and Saturday nights. Plus you pay half up front and half after they show up. |
