sorry if this has been asked before but I'd like some advice from those of you that have residencies in clubs, bars or wherever. I finally got a car so I'd like to supplement my income by doing some DJing gigs around town.
-what's the best approach to getting a residency at a club or bar? should I solicit a mix cd and just send it to whichever club I'd like to play at?
-what sort of stuff should I send? a lot of clubs seem to have particular DJ's that play the same type of music--usually house, but I'd like to show that I have a bit more diversity with my tune selections. should I send a mixed bag of everything?
-what do DJ's typically get paid on any given night? is it a flat fee of $100 plus a bar tab? I'm sure it varies from city to city and country to country.
-should I send a mixed or unmixed cd? I can mix but I also feel that music selection is just as important if not more important than my mixing skills.
I eagerly await my answers from the Jedi Council.
