New Years Gig In Los Angeles, Up For Grabs

DJ Michael Basic 3:52 AM - 21 December, 2006
All my guys are booked already, just got a call for another gig in Culver City, California. If anyone is interested, the contact's name is Rosie, her Phone Number is 310)945-6966.

She asked about what I charge, and I said I wasn't sure who was available yet, but Nobody was working on New Years for any less than $500 bucks for a couple hours. She wants Spanish music and Club Music. If anyone wants it, feel free to call her. When I said $500 bucks as a minimum for just a couple hours, she didn't seem to flinch...so if it's a longer gig, you might be able to get paid nice.

Give Her a call.

im booked but its dope of you to post shit like this rather than be stingy....... props!
Kool DJ Sheak One 4:25 AM - 21 December, 2006
Talked to old broad. A grand is too much for 5 hours for her.
Thanks for the heads up though Mike.
DJ Michael Basic 4:28 AM - 21 December, 2006
Cool...at least if a number of people call her with prices we should be charging, she'll know she ain't gonna find a DJ last minute for new years for pennies.
dj skiggz 6:21 AM - 21 December, 2006
hmm i might take it for 500 i aint even booked
dj skiggz 6:27 AM - 21 December, 2006
what kinda club is it and what crowd...i would call but im @ work. Thx!
DJ Michael Basic 6:29 AM - 21 December, 2006
Not sure...I just know it's a latino crowd...Don't even know if it's a club...you might have to bring gear...if you end up doing it and need speakers or something, lemme know, I might have some stuff available.
dj skiggz 6:43 AM - 21 December, 2006
I have 2 jbl g2's would that be enough?
DJ Michael Basic 6:45 AM - 21 December, 2006
Yea, I'm sure it'd be fine.
QB 6:49 AM - 21 December, 2006
500 is way to cheap especially for new years eve. 5 hours playing plus travel, set up break down and loading and unloading = at least 7 or 8 hours all together and for new years ever that just wouldnt cut it bnut im sure some bedroom dj will do if for 200.00 haha
DJ Michael Basic 6:53 AM - 21 December, 2006
Yea, I agree...I told her $500 for "A COUPLE HOURS" was minimum for new years...I didn't know she wanted 5 hours...either way...there are bedroom DJs in this forum, and they now have a shot at a gig.

There are definately price teirs for quality of DJ, and if this lady can only afford to pay $xxx she should get a DJ that warrants that amount of money. If it's less than $500, she should maybe call up DJ Praise. Hahaha. Sorry, had to do it.
dj skiggz 7:03 AM - 21 December, 2006
well i used to dj @ a bar...now i got shit since the place is moving to another location. So now im back in my bedroom practicing. I got my own equipment and tons of music and i know how to play for latin crowds real well. I'm sure i could rock this party easily but 500 is kinda low since i just put like 5 grand down on my whole system...idunno maybe ill try to hagle her for 600 bux

Dj Ryme 2:47 AM - 22 December, 2006
Thats nothing, thats like some of these dj's that have to bring a crowd in order to spin at a place, you might as well be paying the promoter because your doing his job.

QB 4:11 AM - 22 December, 2006
so did anyone book the gig. i dont think she knows what she wants i told her what kinda music she wanted and she said some spanish and some english so i ask well what kind of spanish and english and she said she would call me back i also quoted her at 700.00 for the night no lights or extras just speakers tables serato and amp nothing extra. but she was set on not going over 500 i believe cuz she said she didnt want to go over that price and she was going to call me back cuz she had to call someone to find out something?????
Dj KaGeN 4:16 AM - 22 December, 2006

Spin Dr's 9:59 AM - 22 December, 2006
Hmmm......iPod DJ's.......I don't think so. But that's for another thread. I remember the days when I would take gigs for nothing and these people would want the world for it. I don't miss it at all. I'm booked for a New Year's Eve party for 5 hours @ $3k and these people appreciate what you do ;o) This is my 2nd year in a row with these peeps and I'm charging them an extra $1k too and they said "coo! thanks for the hook ups!" Unreal!!
Mr. Wright 4:02 PM - 23 December, 2006
