Animal ITM Virgin	Getting a gig What is the best way of getting a gig? I have been mixing for about a year and would love to start playing in clubs but I have no idea how to get that first set. Any help would be fantastic. Cheers

Mr S

Nu Skool

You can start by giving a mix cd to various promoters (along with the 2000 other people trying to get a start) and also going in the DJ competitions that are on throughout the year (Heaven comp closes tomorrow)
It's very hard getting work in the bigger clubs in Adelaide and you have so many other people to compete against.
My advice is to be original and play your own style and not what everyone else is playing. That way you may stand out from the others...

Good luck

Ya can't beat the System!

PaulHamon ITM Staffer	Yes, promote yourself... If you can out promote the other newcomers then you can get the gig... and due to this fact it really doesn't how good you are!! Engage!
