DJing at a club - how to kill your first set!!

[@UndeadBoogie]

I owned a night club for 8 years before COVID and I couldn’t agree more with this. Nothing worse than some rook DJ cranking out the bangers at 9:00 pm.

As an aspiring producer / dj, I have a question for you. Say a producer hits you up for a gig, but this local producer happens to have a ton of their own music and they are all hard hitting tracks, should that opener just ignore all of their own music to make the venue vibe feel better for that time slot? That would just hurt to not be able to promote their own music

[@UndeadBoogie]

@@davision647 Thats a great question. In this instance, I would say yes. Play to your time slot. It sucks that you don't get to play your tracks but use the gig to get in with the promoters and network from there. Make sure to give a sample of your tracks to anyone who might be interested in booking you at later dates and let them know that while you are the opening act tonight, you prefer to play heavier tracks. If you're just bangin em out early evening, I think you'll look like you're oblivious to your surroundings and don't know how to work a crowd. And that's not going to get you any gigs. If you're good at writing tracks, maybe branch out a little just so you have something to play at opening gigs.

@@UndeadBoogie thank you, that’s some great insight and it all makes sense. I appreciate your response!

I bought your course and absolutely loved it - thanks Andrew, you're an absolute legend. This video is spot on and every time I play now I promote my shows and consider time slot!!
