Hi, I have been offered a new Friday night residency in a late bar/ club. Deal is I take the door and promote, bar supplies doormen, drinks promotions. I have no problem with doing the DJing, booking guest DJs, but I have no real experience of promoting the night and getting the punters in. Before I say yes, I need constructive advice. Where better to ask than DJU http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif

Well, I don't own one, but there are a whole load of Mobile jocks in Kent I know use cdmix2 day in day out. I had to use one recently for 2 hours.

I will be looking out for any new innovative product. I love technology, so I am going with mey eyes open. Can't wait to see what Vestax bring in as a spoof this year, maybe it's time to feature the vinyl cutter as a spoof device! I wish to try the Allen & Heath Xone:92 and the Denon DN-X1500, and those cheeky little DN-S1000 cd players. I hear Numark have some intersting DVD products being developed for VJing. I also hear Pioneer have a new mix device to go with their DVJ-X1. I also want to find the DJA stand and see what they can offer the DJ as well as making contacts with oth

I start with £250 for a basic gig for up to 100 guests. Anything inside the south/north circular, add £180. Extra hours, sound, lights, etc... add more. That £180 uplift covers 2 extra hours travelling each way, parking, irritation fee (having to put up with the breed of people who work in central London, commute by train, and therefore get deeply drunk and think it is their right to abuse the DJ verbally, put drinks down on my deck to go and dance), pollution fee (I hate inhaling diesel fumes), and the worry of getting carjacked fee, not to mention food, drink, etc...

I keep it simple for up to 100 guests: 1 x Martin Destroyer, 1 x constella Pro-twin, 4 x Par56 on dimmable controller, all on 2 stands behind each speaker. I also have a LED starbox around the dex. I then add UV cannon, extra destroyer, NJD , 4 more par56, constella astra scanners, ropelights, message display for extra guest numbers and depending on the venue size. I alvays try and wind the stand nice and high so that no-one brains themselves on the lights, and for coverage. I also try to keep the lights to the floor avoiding seating areas as people hate beams in the eyes. So, my li

QUOTE (PS, Brian, I know how you feel. I live in Brighton, but seem to end up travelling to Surrey and Kent for most gigs. Since Jan, I have only done 6 gigs in the Brighton area. I think the main reason is that the excess of DJ’s in Brighton seems to have pushed average rates down to much lower than I can get in other areas.) Ok, drifting from the original topic here, but speaking to venue managers, they admit most of their DJs don't have PLI, or are used to playing to a wall instead of an audience. So, as a pro commercial DJ, you have a great selling point for a start, and when you make t

I have 2 Numark Dimension 4 amplifiers. They are really good value for money, considering the specs. Most useful feature is a built in adjustable low pass filter that can be switched in. This means that when I just run the full range speakers, I use the amp in a normal mode, and when I want to also run my bass bins, I switch on the low pass filter so the bass bins just get bass http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html/emoticons/smile.gif Downside: http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html/emoticons/censored2.gif ing heavy!
