I would like to open new topic about reliable promoters word wide, its hard to go to different counrty in the first time and trust to people without knowing them, so in this topic people can come and check promoters names if they are reliable in the business...
EUROPE
NORTH AMERICA
SOUTH AMERICA
ASIA
AUSTRALIA

please write a few things about how were you been treated,have you been ripped off and should other DJ's go to play for sertan promoters.
oh andre, don't talk to me about this subject ;)
the thing is when you go abroad is research. and the internet is here. so it's your own silly fault if you get left in a field somewhere :)
no would be nice to list the promoters that really do sort you out, but i think it would be different for dfferent ppl. what do we expect as an individual??... it's all different for different ppl. it really is....
some may say the perfect gig is when you get alll the cash upfront and the gig is huge annd yoou rock the house. others may say when the gig is small, you don't get many ppl in, yoou play the best set of your life and ok the promoter cann't pay you, but he gets it together a few months later and sorts you out.
all depends...
well i'm in brasil right now afetr sorting out a tour for the first time from the uk
me and rachel have put it together abd it had been difficult but i think very rerwarding , we have cemented relationships better than if the tour was being controlled by a third party , and we know exactly whats going on with money hotels flights etc etc .
so here i am and i'll llet you all know how it went in a months time.
my guessing is it's gonna be fine
i have even more contacts now too so if this one goes good for me , we cann start doing this more regularly , and really get things going.
now i'm looking for contacts in argentina and columbia , and i'll try to put together a huge south american tour next year.
i cannot type! :roll:Quote:

Should also do a thread for promoters about experiences with DJ's, who are moody bastards, who are more hassle than they're worth! :lol:
hahaha.Quote:

Thats cool!!! i think some other promoters should do open a topic like this talking about DJ's and it will be very interested as well. :clap:
All bad names will be listed in here and people can check it out any time. :rambo:
who?!?!?!Quote:

pat is right ask around first if you dont know a promoter.
Cheers dude !
Jeremy, havent I told u before, always ask for half up front? That seriously goes out to any artist. Unless you are a big name its hard to get all the money upfront, you should at the very least get half up front and half later..
Haha, I think it could lead to slanging matches though, it might be better not to air these things publicly, if it's bad, just ask around perhaps... I was told '**** him' about quite a big name DJ! Like Mark EG said, it depends what you expect from the promoter I suppose, some people will be happy others might not be. Though if people just describe what their expereinces were like others can judge for themselves of course.Quote:

i should of really no of taken the gig
but i love toronto after i played for nightmare i wanted to play there every wekeend!
Why would u deny the gig? Take the loot and if he is a dick, then u still have your money, either way props on the giant & dwarf release. So are u the giant or the dwarf?????????
come on do i really need to answer that!
HAHAHAHA
im the MITE!
Usually I'm happy if the promoter is respectful and doesn't act like they're doing me some grand favor by extending me the privledge of a booking. Once the opposite of what I expected seem to become more of a norm, I was happier playing that party in the woods or basement every now and then while spending more time in the studio. I can somewhat agree on the notion that you get what you deserve given the ability to research people on the internet. But, at the same time, it in no way justifies negative treatment and, personally, most of the crap I see about promoters on the internet is usually posted by rival promoters.
ehh, sorry folks, the answer we were lookign for is "im the dyke" heheheQuote:
