i've played many gigs for a lot less than i should just so a promoter can pay a hefty fee for a headline dj..

and i've no problem doing this because the people i do it for a) treat me well on other occasions - b) wont let me buy a drink if im doing them a favour and c) make sure all my costs are covered and make sure that im not out of pocket for helping them out..


but last night was a complete and utter pisstake. :whoops:


anyway big shouts out to the artists that have to take a cut in their wages because of shoddy promoters.. i've played gigs with a good few of you.. you know who you aer and you deserve respect for keeping a level head..

and a big shout out to all you promoters that treat your artists good.. you know who you are.

the rest of you chancers can **** right off.. if making money off the back of someone elses work is all you care about then you have no place on our scene.

Nah I'd be pissed to Baz. **** that mate. If someone is supposed to pay you a flat amount, that doesn't change because they as the promoters didn't do a good enough job promo'ing they're event. That really isn't at all your fault.

Man I've dealt with this a number of times locally as well in the passed. Now I just know which promoters are actually cool and which ones only care for themselves. So it's now just a loss on the bad people's behalf.

50 pounds isn't shit man...especially for any producer out there who spends so much time, money, and effort making tracks and buying gear or records. All of these things equal money....

time=money
gear=money
records=money

there for

gigs+dj/producer=Pay the man dammit!!!!!!!
