How's the best way to do this?? a friend of mine does it for a hobby, but wants to play at clubs, etc! He plays online gigs+gets paid for them, and he's really good. id dance to his music+it sounds better than some of the stuff they play in clubs. It's mostly remixes and not so much his own material!
Any ideas??? He doesnt know where to start+feels everyone will pay no attention as he's an amateur!
thanx

    Record some mix CD's and send them out to loads of clubs. Although these days the whole world and his wife is a DJ, so try and make them a bit different. Don't just mix a load of obvious bangers and anthems together, try and do something more interesting. Alternatively, start your own night.

    the only real way forward as ...as you say there are a bazillion wannabes out there.
    starting your own night ...premises ...approach pubs clubs whatever.
    a friend of one of my sons did something similar in manchester few years ago.
    he picked a back street pub ...tatty and unknown and with a landlord only to willing to try anything to fill the pub ...so it was free.

    for a couple of years it became one the busiest unknown back street pubs in town.
    even on the none nights it was busier cos...a new audience had found a new place to meet and hang out.
