My girl's buddy is one of those skamartist DJs. those dudes sound like if they are doing really well. they hold it down in hollywood and vegas.

yeah my friend andy is with them they are holding down vegas and la and they are pretty much holding down the country...

yeah they are doing really well it's probably the best agency imo.

Some buzz?? You gotta be pretty damn popular to fuck with them. Their roster includes Skibble, AM, Funk Flex, Crooklyn Clan, and Green Lantern to name a few. I dont think you can be a local club DJ and try to do business with them. It's dope that Enferno along side those nationally known DJ's.

I just emailed SKAM. I have nothing to loose. Hopefully they'll get back to me.

Anyone have anything out in Philly, NYC, or Jersey

I use my brother. He owns his own record label and clothing company. He also knows a lot of people and gets a lot of crazy requests.

We had Travis from Gym Class Heroes stay at our house one time...he was pretty cool. This was before they blew up. Half the songs that were hot were about a year or two old by the time they got big.

He's also friends with the dudes from All American Rejects....

He pretty much endorses all of them with clothing

Other than that....its just who you know...especially people in the music industry.

Overall...I am able to handle simple requests on my own...but my brother sets me up with larger events and handles all the talking and negotiation....I just don't have time due to the fact that its more of a second job for me

also..that ceg talent site...that's not necessary their main booking person/manager.....all those guys have a pool of resources that rep them.

Any Good Booking agencies for a DJ in the Carolinas?

We just signed with this booking agency,but they actually inquired about us.

www.premiereartistsgroup.com

SPAIR or anyone who is using a agency can you explain to us how it works? Do they book you gigs and then take a percentage per say?

I also assume these agencys will not take any joe smoe DJ.

Congrats Spair!

so is it the agency that gets you the big gig, or the talent of the DJ? I'm confused

Most booking agencies are typically set up with the same business structure.The booking agent will take anywhere from 10 to 20% of what ever work they get you,so it is in there best interest to get your work at a high rate. All the booking agencies listed on this post are unique in there own way. For example the one that we signed with caters to more of a Turntablist market. They do bookings for Qbert and Jazzy Jeff and create tours for there Dj's. It looks as if Skam Artist books for more Vegas style Dj's.

Oh yeah.. Your popularity plays a big roll in why a booking agency wants you on there roster. Big name Dj's like Skribble and Kid Capri are the booking agents bread and butter.

I noticed this thread has not been updated since 2007. I am a 17 year veteran DJ/ Remix Artist/ VJ from Atlanta. Would anyone have any updated suggestions (hopefully complete with email addresses and URLs who to introduce myself to)???

you're 17 and you're a veteran? hahha

Geeunot maybe you should re-read what he posted.
He isn't 17 he has 17 years of experience...

LOL..

Um...yeah. re-read that. I'm 35 years old. I have been a DJ for 17 years. I think that may qualify me as a veteran. Hell, it might qualify me for Medicare...I'm not sure.

Anyhow, I am at a point in my career where I can't be self reliant and expect to expand beyond local notariety. I have things I want to check off my bucket list and that requires better management and achieving a short tour.

I tried using things like Indie Bible to find places to play but they rarely update the nightclubs as often as I'd want...and most venues they (and other similar resources) list are slanted toward full rock bands. I searched for management a few years ago. In the end, I got frustrated because most artist management is centered around managing bands. What's worse is, because of their experience with bands, celebrities, and other non-nightclub circus acts, the few who were brave and willing to take me on had a huge learning curve I had to drag them through because we DJs are a totally different animal to most agents I met.

I don't want that headache all over again. So...that being said, who has updated suggestions of agencies who deal in House Music / Turntablism / Mashups / VJs ???

I just moved to kansas from florida and I want to know if there is any agencies in kansas that could possibly help me, I have about 12 years under my belt.

If someone is interested in booking DJ's they should contact Josh Z Ent LLC
They manage a few DJ's and do a great job at it.

I think this is their FB Page

most agencies work on referral or if you're crazy popular.
I don't use a booking agency for most of my things... you can be pretty damn successful without using an agency.
aside from CEG, there's SKAM, Moodswing 360, AM Group.... all who will not even come close to signing me.

You THINK this is THEIR Facebook page when your name on the board is Josh Z Ent LLC??? Hahahaha! Grow a brain and GTFOHWTMFBS!

And why the fuck would you try to sell DJs to a message board full of DJs? Eat a dick.

Wowza.
I once heard of this guy DJ Nature.. I think that's his name

As far as most of the agencies listed, I think you have to be carrying a lot of weight and they'll come to you, or more of a naturally occurring intro. I don't imagine the likes of SKAM, Moodswing, etc signing many DJs who contact them out of the blue looking for representation. That being said, can't knock the hustle and it can't hurt
