ok here is my take on it......

most parties are not djed by one person usually so now lets just say a 3000 person venue sells out is it really becuz you got one headliner or is it cuz the people that are buying the tickets see there are many djs they would like to see on the bill so who is the dj to say hey they are all here for me so pay me say 5000USD for my hour......I say BULLSHIT....now if the pary is a two dj or even one dj venue and the party sells out then yes the dj/djs can say they are here for me now show me the money...after all they are going to spin for hours ata time.......

I do thinkalot of big timers charge too much YES they do dont lie to yourself....but you can blame that on promoters also for allowing them to charge that much....cuz from my experience throwing parties and spining them that a big money DJ doesnt guarantee you a soldout venue......


If they DJ was booked for a live PA then sure now charge some $$$ cuz now you are performing...

as someone here asked if i was offered big money for an hour set would i say yes....NO I would not cuz id like to get guaranteed money...what im saying is i charge a very modest amount of money to spin cuz unlike alot of people i still enjoy spinning music for the masses and sure my rate will change but i could never see myself being so bloated to the point where id charge more than 800/hr ....

here in NYC if im booked within a 30 mile radius from my house i dont charge my full fee but Id like transprotation at the least and only a fraction of my fee......but if i have to take a bus/plane/or a train yes im charging my full fee + trans.... but never anywhere near the fees that most big wigs charge...


Final Thought
PARTIES COST MORE THAN THEY SHOULD BECAUSE OF THE RIDICULOUS CONTRACTS THESE PEOPLE HAVE..{youd think it was britney spears or something}

i remeber seeing people like F.Bones, DClarke, T1000 and a host of others on the same bill for 10USD and NOW if they were all booked again for one party id probably have to pay 60USD

PEACE OUT
