topic moved to music n production, since you are looking for dj work...

good luck with it, best way of getting in touch with promoters/organisers of events is to peruse the events threads and see who is playing wat..i guess?

Also would be a good thing to mention what you play mate. Get out and about and meet some people because its often "who you know"

You're best bet is probably to submit some mixes that you've done to a few of the promoters here in Adelaide.

What style(s) do u play?

And where are you from?

Fuck is that all? Can't say I listen to anything under 160bpm...

Keep an eye on these threads for "Lockdown Promotions DJ Comps" I think the most recent one is over now, but every know and then there are comps like these which are a great way for DJ's of any style to make a few contacts, get heard, and in some cases get gigs.

All the best :)

To get a residency in any club you need to be well established and well known to the punters in order to draw a crowd.

It is extremely unlikely that any club owner/promoter will give you a set without seeing you play somewhere before.

It is also pretty unlikely that another DJ will agree to do a vs set with you if they haven't heard you.

Do you have a lot of vinyl? or do you mix with CDJ's?

Either way... start recording some sets and passing them on to people.
Its the only way you'll get anywhere.

"Thank U all, I shall surely stay in touch.

But if there is any chance I could get some help from anyone of you, it would be great."

hi vam, go pick yourself up a minidisc recorder or mp3 recorder of some sort. www.mrgadget.com.au has a few from 200$...

record your set. get a photo, write up a bio, print it up in a cd, burn up 20 of em and get em out there. do follow up calls, attend their clubs etc etc.
wont take long to suss out who`s who in the scene.

RA is your friend when it comes to promoting youself.
