scoobeedoo01 Posted December 16 Report Share Posted December 16 Trust me try to get your hands on carl cox who visits just enough to make people go insane..all these dj's have to fly like 20 hours or more to get here so when they do a saturday in NYC they don't play anywhere else all weekend.. US money isn't worth shit 50k is like 30k i n pounds so really they seem to be making alot of US money but they don't live here.. Trust me they make a ton of money.. sometimes clubs have to break even because people talk about the event for a long time.. even with 3000 people they had to charge $35 to get in thats 100k right there you add in 10-20$ drinks and it makes plenty of sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesnt even take that long to get to NYC from Australia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobeedoo01 Posted December 16 Report Share Posted December 16 Ive never flown from there4 I am flying someone in from belgium and i takes 12 hours to get here to Nj a 3 hour limo ride to the club a 3 hour limo ride back and then the flight home do it all again..even if they fly 6 hours they need an hour or so to get to there hotels an hour or so to get to the gig.. they play and then leave before its all said and done without spending much time in the hotel its been a 20 hour trip and then they need to fly somewhere else.. all big talent travels with at least 4-5 peopler who need to get paid out of that money.. there flights normally come out of that money.. you may see a 6 hour flight but it is alot more then that.. and who says they are coming from just england..

groovefire Posted December 16 Report Share Posted December 16 Trust me try to get your hands on carl cox who visits just enough to make people go insane..Carl Cox when he has no intention of coming to the US, or Carl Cox while he's on a US tour? When he's promoting a new CD? It's not as simple as a dollar amount per show, I assure you, I do this every week. Trust ME, there is a hell of lot more involved in booking big DJs than you think. There is sponsor money. There are artist promotions. Certain agencies have relationships with certain venues. Etc, etc, etc. A blanket statement that DJs make $234848904824982494949444923494923049 per gig is false. Each show is different. And if I told you what I've paid for HUGE DJs, you'd feel embarrassed.And btw, next time you're at a club, look around, see all those flyers and people passing them out, notice all the bartenders, bouncers and staff, see all those lights, think about heating/cooling, look at how big the space is and try to imagine what the lease rent is, and you might begin to realize clubs have much more expenses than just the DJ to worry about.

scoobeedoo01 Posted December 16 Report Share Posted December 16 I book talent every week for a club that only hold 1500 people so we can't do the bigger stuff, but i used to do raves so i know what people want.. of course there are the fill dates when you can grab them cheap, but if you want exclusive rights to them which is what you should want, you don't want the club next door to have the talent tommorow, you pay the big dollars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigpoppanils Posted December 16 Report Share Posted December 16 @ this thread. By your math, these guys would all be multi-multi-millionaires, which they're not. one of the UK mags did an article on the dj's that make the most money. in 2002, Oakie, Tiesto, PVD, Sasha, and Fatboy Slim were all pulled in over a million dollars each (this figure includes producing and endorsements as well as dj-ing).

If you ever feel like paying me $5000+ to play, gimme a call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobeedoo01 Posted December 16 Report Share Posted December 16 JP makes 10-15k per date depending where he is .. he is only good if he plays to a specific crowd.. a normal non JP crowd would boo him off the tables.. we like our dance music alot less GAY and alot harder UK style not New York.. the NY sound is so played out..

scoobeedoo01 Posted December 16 Report Share Posted December 16 Good graphic.. A DJ is only worth the crowd he bringsJunior V may pull people but when you bring his people to your club on a regular basis it makes your club look like shit.. You ned a DJ that is banging but will draw a majority of females..you could put 50 naked girls on stage with no talent and terrible music every week and the place would be packed with guys..Hey thats a strip club..

groovefire Posted December 16 Report Share Posted December 16 A DJ is only worth the crowd he brings Spoken like a true promoter. I know this is a business like any other, ya gotta pay the bills, of course, but some of us out there still do put music before profit.

scoobeedoo01 Posted December 16 Report Share Posted December 16 but the crowd that the music brings is even more important.. any club that only cares about the money is a hip hop club.. thats easy to pack a place for a year or two then go out of buisiness, because most people don't like when dj's yell at peopleon the mic.. it is good for a couple months then people can care less who has a five dollar bill and can put there hands up.. dance music is a very hard game these days and there are alot of good dj's who can't draw becasue they have not been marketed right.. Scott Henry , Micro (a little notoriety) but not what it should be with how good the kid is.. Dance dj's are a dime a dozen. there are very few who can pack a place a keep a place full playing whatever music they want especially outside of NYc PCR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
