Should i pay to join a dj agency?
Posted: 19th November 2011 by Music Directory in Music DirectoryTags: should i pay to join a dj agency
Comments Off
A question that seems to be popping up more often that now in the DJ community is “Should i pay to join a dj agency?”
There is no real definite answer to this because it boils down to what that particular DJ agency is offering.
The questions you should be asking yourself are:
Does this DJ agency also charge you a DJ booking fee on top of this?
Does the DJ agency have a good track record of getting DJ bookings?
Does the DJ agency have DJ testimonials to back up their DJ booking claims?
Does the DJ agency respond to you quickly with questions?
Does the DJ agency run full time or is it just someones nightly hobby?
Does the DJ agency offer DJ promotion which would improve your current amount of DJ jobs?
Any DJ agency can claim to get DJ work but all of the above questions should help you make your mind up. In this day and age, the age of the internet, it does make perfect sense to get an online DJ agency, to get your name out there. More and more everything is done through the internet, so don’t miss out on extra DJ jobs just because you may have to pay a small yearly subscription. You only have to look at DJ agencies like UK-DJs or Gig Masters to see that there are top DJ agencies out there, you just have to weed your way through the false claims first.
Best of luck in your bid to find more DJ work and I have hopefully helped with your question… Should i pay to join a dj agency?

September was a busy month for this West Midlands rapper with the release of two projects, an EP and a ‘remix’ style street album. Deeze has also re-designed and re-launched his brand new website www.BigDuttyDeeze.com and later this month is off to France for a three date mini-tour with producer Juttla. It’s all go and there’s plenty more music to come before he drops much anticipated debut album in 2012.
‘This Is Gotham’ is the Batman inspired seven track EP that features production from Stealf, Tricksta & Lienad. All tracks sample music from Batman films and lyrically Deeze talks on life in inner-city England. This EP has had support from various DJ’s, as well as GlobalRapNetwork.com saying ‘Deeze is so talented and so creative, this man is a UK name to watch’ and FromThaGutta.com saying ‘This contains bars that rappers will have wished they would have written.’ With excellent wordplay and top notch beats grab this now.

What to look for in an Online DJ Agency

What to look for in an Online DJ Agency
Things have really moved on in the DJ World. Records – and soon to be CDs – have been replaced by new technology, and the same can be said for DJ Hire. The old style traditional DJ Agency is being replaced by online DJ Booking Agencies who offer DJs online DJ Promotion, giving the DJ the ability to be found, when someone is looking to Book a DJ.
It’s now essential for a DJ of any level to find an Online Booking Agency who offers these DJ services. If you cannot be found when someone is looking to Book a DJ, you’re missing out on extra bookings. It’s not uncommon for top DJs to pay out lots extra on a PR Agent who deals with their DJ Promotion online, they pay for a PR Agent on top of their traditional DJ Booking agent, something which is very costly.
However, there are some real quality DJ Services out there who offer DJs excellent Online DJ Promotion and the possibility of DJ Hire worldwide. These DJ Agencies are the future, so don’t be stuck in the past looking for an old style DJ Agency who take 15% of your DJ Booking fee. It’s really not uncommon now for an Online DJ Agency to charge a small yearly subscription in replacement of the 15%, which works out a great deal for DJs as they keep all their Booking fees.
Be sure to research the DJ Agency beforehand, make sure they have good DJ testimonials and have been online for a few years. See how quick the DJ Agency respond to you, see if they run full time, see if they offer such things as free DJ Mix Hosting and DJing Gigs round the world.
Don’t be left behind, move with the times, Online DJ Promotion is essential, If you want DJ Bookings that is.
I’d recommend a few quality DJ Booking Agencies, who run full time, with great DJ Testimonials, and DJ Bookings worldwide:-
In no particular order:
http://www.djagencies.com
http://www.uk-djs.net
http://www.us-djs.net
http://www.global-djs.net
http://www.mix-djs.net
http://www.urban-djs.net
http://www.euro-djs.net
http://www.mobile-djs.net
Best of luck with your quest for online DJ Bookings and finding a Booking Agency or DJ Agent.
