$300 to walk in and play? lol, in some cases that's a raise. I'll book NYE for $500.
When you don't pay for your music it's easy to do gigs for next to nothing.
:sqerr:
Why pay more for something than I need to? Show me a DJ who doesn't DL music. Ever. Some just do it more than most and most of my local competition does it just as much as I and everyone else. That's why the "legal" guys who do pay for their music have to charge almost 3 times as much. Music is probably the biggest investment and most of the songs on those CDs they get never get play time anyway.
I at least get what I need, what I know I will play and not paying for filler.

Hello, my name is Curt. Now you have meet that DJ.
I do download music, from Amazon and pay for every song. I have NEVER downloaded a song that I did not pay for. Most of my music comes from PrimeCuts and Promo Only.
IMHO, A dj that downloads and uses ilegal music is no better then the hood rat that robs the 7-11.
YMMV
