So for you, what makes up "living the life of a dj"... For me its: Practice Practice Practice Supporting Parties and the scene in general Schmoozing (as much as i hate it somtimes it has to be done) Some of my friends that are dj's have gotten very bitter recently. They complain about how they've been djing for years and how they get no love or respect because they cant find a place to play out in jersey or in nyc. So i ask them, are you out there handing out demos, meeting people, and supporting the music you love? And of course the answer i get from them is "uh, no." Come on ppl! if you expect to want to get a gig somewhere you have to get your face out there! Golden Rule: Support the Scene, and the Scene will eventually support you. Lou ()
