Last night a DJ threatened my life

It was sort of funny, although sadly MK wouldn't let me send him some of the ruder comments I wanted to say.

I'm a classically trained musician. :cool: And I've got a DJ friend who went to music college.

I agree that this sounds harsh but I think you are in a far better position knowing the sort of person you are dealing with (and quite rightly choosing not to deal with them) than someone who writes a contract that you have a little read of and sounds nice as pie but a year down the line you get fucked up by some tricky lawyer. I see this happen with people looking for venture capital all the time. You loose both ways and you are always better off working with someone you know.
 
What you need to do is make the little falshy lights flash at the same speed :)

(You can owe me a fiver for that top tip.)

the man wanted an £8K monthly retainer, no guarantees to any kind of outcomes / targets re media coverage or anything whatsoever, anyone agreeing to that would need to be insane, regardless of the nonsense about legs being broken, etc.

In addition to which, all the artists he was working for (those he mentioned anyway) have all had their 15 mins of fame and are now long gone (not that that was neccessarly his fault) but I kept an eye on his campaigns out of interest and I don't feel we lost out by not hooking up with him.

I hear you about the lawyer thing though, DIY and build up your own team is always the best way IMO (although you risk losing friends if things go wrong).

Well there was a chance wasn't there?

How come you're always telling me not to be silly when you're clearly one of the biggest numptys on here? It makes me lose face.
 
meh, i've got no flashy lights on my mixer and no-one has noticed yet. but if anyone does i'm fucked.

What you need to do, young milesy, is wait till the end of an 8 (or 4) bar phrase, then catch the first kick drum on the next phrase, stop the record, pull it back a bit, then flick it in when the other tune's come to the end of an 8 (or 4) bar phrase. You can then tell pretty quickly whether it's too fast or too slow, and by (roughly) how much. That's the tip that took me from endless fafarsing about to being able to beat match in about 3 months.

Thats it in a nutshell innit - I got the hang (without so much as a website) by arsing about on my decks for a couple months.

Where do I send my £80 :)
