Im an 18 year old DJ in LA and started going to clubs last year. I really want to DJ in clubs. How would i DJ in clubs in LA? Do i have to know the promoter etc? Whats the best way?

Asked by GI over 12 years ago

I'm not a well versed in the DJ scene. I do know most of the DJ's in LA clubs have DJ agents that get them gigs. Your best bet is to meet some LA based DJ's and ask. I don't think knowing promoters helps much.

Is there anything about the nightlife experience/industry as a whole (not just clubs) that you feel could be improved? Particularly with the use of technology. Anything that made you think, there has to be a better way..?

Lets just assume that I've some money to spend, how would I get the easiest way inside a club being what you call a undesirable ethnicity, badly dressed and all?

Buy nice clothes, try to bring girls if you can, grease the bouncer. If all else fails, buy botttle service.

would you ever let your own daughter work in the nightclub business?

Asked by bluesyde almost 13 years ago

Hold on the thought of having a daughter just scared me for a second......ok I'm back. Luckily for my potential future daughter, I don't live in culture where she would need to have family's permission to do something. If she's an adult, she can make her own decision. I would tell her the same thing I would tell a son....do it for awhile but don't stay too long. Also stay away from promoters, those guys are the worst.

Does it get aggravating answering people's dumb questions all day long?

How do I meet a promoter who can get us hooked up at a specific club on short notice (1-2 weeks)? My girlfriends and I want to check out hot spots like LAVO, Le Bain, Cielo, etc, but we're all new to the NYC nightlife scene.

Asked by NYC Chick over 12 years ago

I suggest facebook. Do searches for those places and look on their walls to see who is liking or commenting. Find attractive women and see who is commenting and liking on a lot of their pages (they will likely be promoters).

Then again, if you are hot enough, just show up.

Should a promoter be held accountable for liabilty during the night of his event.

Asked by Alias over 12 years ago

Ha! No. The club isn't even really liable for most things and they have insurance (which costs a fortune) for the things they are liable for. If a promoter was held liable for the actions of 2000 drunk and potentially drugged-up bozos, no one would ever do the job.

I've just applied to work at a gentlemen's club (doing anything but dancing) and they said they thought I'd make a good promo girl based on my personality. So my question is what's the best way to get people coming in to buy a bottle at the door?

Asked by Darling over 12 years ago

Be prepared to get really sick of every guy asking "why aren't you up there?"

Gentlemen's Clubs are not my forte. I don't really get the appeal. Have these guys not heard of internet porn?
