Depends on the size of the artist. If it is someone like Desyn Masiello, Dave Seaman or James Lavelle they come and play for the cost of a plane ticket and not for profit. Others come and play for free. Those nights have no door cover. -

Sat, August 5, 2006 - 5:35 PMI guess some people value the SF experience over others, as with any major city. -

I don't think there is anything sad about San Francisco at all. It depends on if you want to build a name for yourself in our town. People who have paid their own way and have built a name and following in town now get paid. People are happy to come pay $5 for an artist that they know is going to cost way more any where else. If we have a no name out of town guest we don't charge money its just that simple.
Bottom line:
Its fun to play for a crowd that is really in to what you are doing. This is what we provide. -

Sun, August 6, 2006 - 8:24 AMHear ya there. In Iowa it's hard to find a crowd who wants to hear anything aside from house, d'n'b, or pys trance. -

Sun, August 6, 2006 - 9:40 AMLet's face it when you are an unknown it is pretty hard to get someone to put you on a plane. But once you are in a town or country and if you have a rep you can usually get booked. Take Romanina, there is no way in hell a promoter there would put someone from the states on a plane unless they are one of the top 50 djs in the world. I went to Romania on my dime and eneded up headlining at the biggest clubs on the weekends. Between all the gigs I played it payed for my flight and lodging.
Its just something you need to think about doing as a dj. Its not just a San Francisco thing. -

This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.

Sun, August 6, 2006 - 3:17 PMWell, I'll be sure to let you know the next time I head out to SF. -

Well said. I'm glad you have no sad experiences in San Francisco. I let my own sad past experiences taint my reaction to this thread, and for that I apologize. I LOVE San Francisco. And of course I recognize the value of any opportunity to play out. I still don't think that value justifies not paying a dj. We should all be compensated for our efforts.
When I was promoting, I would never expect nor ask anyone to dj for free. Perhaps that's part of why I never made any money in promotion... but that's just me. If any money was made, everyone got their share... even if it was just cab fare. I don't believe in the myth of the starving artist. The artists need to be paid just like the managers and cleaning crews.
But, again, I apologize for my negative spin. I hope all the right people take advantage of this opportunity and turn it into a beautifully positive experience that is beneficial to all involved. -

traveling on your own dime...
Fri, August 11, 2006 - 3:20 PM...is how i play in europe.
however i DO get paid.
i will admit that generally the gigs i have guest djs on i pay them in alcohol--however, that's true of ALL my djs, not just up & comers. on the other hand, i don't charge a door fee.

Is Satellite still accepting mixes from potential guest DJs?
Does it have to be all house music?
Also curious who you ended up booking as a result of listening to their mixes.
thanks -

Re: Submit your mixes for SatelliteSF.
Tue, March 6, 2007 - 9:16 AMWe're just reading this... and I'll have something for you by the end of the day! I think the problem is that SF DJs hate to think that they are actually bedroom djs... they usually live in such crowded spaces that it might as well be a club!
