How To Get DJ Gigs In Unlikely Places

Written by Dan White on January 11th, 2013 77 Comments

As we touched on last month, not getting booked is a common complaint for DJs around the world. For today’s fun Friday article, we thought it would be great to explore some of the venues that DJs of all skill levels might overlook in their normal quest for gigs and residencies. Read on to learn more about spinning in hair salons and museums.

Before we start breaking down the different types of gigs that are out there, it’s important to talk about why DJing in new and strange types of venues is a brilliant opportunity. It’s not just conjecture either- I’ve played DJ sets in a wide variety of places: museums, election rallies, art galleries, hotel lobbies and probably about 30 more unusual places.

THE ULTIMATE DRESS REHEARSAL

Many long-time DJs would argue that every gig should be 100% spot on – and that if you’re playing out, you need to make sure that you’re on point from the moment you drop the needle (metaphorical or physical) on the first track. Playing gigs in non-traditional settings can be perfect middle ground between the bedroom and the club – allowing you to test tracks, but more importantly allowing you to be playing music in a public setting.

Playing to an empty room or to passersby who barely pause upon hearing your set can be discouraging – but it’s actually a unique opportunity because you’re Playing Out, even if no one is Out. The normal extra pressure that comes with having your name in lights or with a packed club residency isn’t there at many of these gigs – so take that chance to get better, try something new, or both!

GIG HUNT LIKE A MOBILE DJ

Ok, so you’re ready to start searching out these unusual gigs. We’re putting together a list at the end of this article of our ideas – but one of the best ways to get yourself booked is to pretend like it’s your livelihood. Mobile DJs know that one of the secrets to finding gigs is to talk to people who don’t even know that they need a DJ yet – and you should apply this same mentality to looking for these opportunities.

When you find yourself at interesting events with no consideration being paid to the music, it should smell like opportunity to you. Run through a quick checklist:

Does it seem like this event/location would be complimented by a DJ?
Is there space to set up some DJ equipment? (look for electricity, too!)
Is there space for dancing? (not always necessary)

Talk to the people running the show – have a conversation about what you think of the event/space – and don’t be afraid to ask them if they’ve ever considered having a DJ play in their space. This might be networking 101 – but by socializing with the people who are in charge, you can secure a potential opportunity for yourself if you make them realize that you have something to offer to them and their event.

Get their contact info (ideally send them an email on the spot) and remember to follow up if you want to get the gig!

ACCEPT THAT SOME OF THESE GIGS WON’T PAY

While you should never devalue your time, you should know that a lot of non-traditional DJ gigs aren’t going to have the same type of money to send your way at the end of the night. There’s a lot of discussion in the artist community about what’s acceptable to expect from gigs that I won’t get into here – but whatever you do, don’t pay to play.

When talking to Mad Zach about this article, he suggested that the alternative types of DJ gigs usually have the benefit of “having better babes”. While I won’t carve his words into stone, I’d agree with the fundamental idea that you’ll meet a wider array of people at unique gigs because you’re encountering people in a context that isn’t a club. Networking in a loud and packed club is hard, while networking at the Catalina Wine Mixer is expected.

ONE-OFF GIGS IN ODD PLACES

We live in an era of music selectors, and individual music taste rules headphones around the world. There’s competition of music curation everywhere – from your mom’s Pandora station to your best friend’s Spotify discoveries, and your office’s collaborative Rdio playlist for the holiday party last month. Make sure that you know exactly why you’re better than a playlist for the gig you’re going to play!

Here are our suggestions for locations to scout to score a unique gig:

ART GALLERY / MUSEUM

Any time there’s an opening at an art gallery, there’s often a few critical ingredients: free alcohol, cheese, a significant crowd of people, and naturally, art on the walls. This is a pretty low hanging fruit for DJs as gallery openings often have music and are trying very hard to be the coolest event of the evening.

Larger museums also present unique opportunities – especially if you know of any nighttime events at the museum in question. Here in San Francisco, the California Academy of Sciences regularly hosts DJs at their weekly Nightlife event!

Who Can Get You The Gig: Talk to the curator of the next show or the gallery owner.

PUBLIC TRANSIT PARTY

Something a bit more obtuse – but have you ever considered that your regional transit system could be the perfect place for your next DJ party? If this sounds a bit too much like an unrealistic soda commercial, don’t fret- taking over public transit is pretty easy if you’ve got a solid set of friends and fans who will attend and ideally access to a silent disco style sound system. Just like in this gig which Mad Zach rocked at the end of last year:

Who Can Get You The Gig: This is very much a DIY thing – conspire with some friends!

RETAIL STOREFRONT

This gig is a bit more common, especially in stores with a reputation of coolness to uphold. You’d be surprised how many store managers are excited at the possibility of having a DJ in their store to attract people in, and feel free to get creative here. First person to report playing a 100% chiptune set inside of a video game store wins a gold star.

Who Can Get You The Gig: Ask to talk to the manager about playing their next big sale event.

OPEN HOUSE

A few months ago I was asked to DJ an open house by one of my friends who is a leasing agent for high end rentals in San Francisco – and apparently this is now a common trend for high rent apartments and lofts being shown in LA and New York City. Often times other agents show up to these events – and they’re perfect people to hand off a business card to.

Who Can Get You The Gig: Your best bet is finding someone who is involved in the real estate industry already.

POLITICAL RALLY / PROTEST

A reoccurring theme in this article is finding places where people want to add an element of coolness to their event. Politicians need as much help as they can looking cool and appealing to new audiences, and as long as you don’t have a conflict of conscious playing their events, it could be a great way to play out more during election season.

On the flip side, political protests are often places desperately in need of music to get their attendees riled up and ready to chant and wave signs for hours on end. You can get really clever with song selections, too – I’ve heard many a protest DJ mix in “War Pigs” to great effect.

Pro tip: don’t bring your fanciest gear along to a political protest if it might get messy.

Read this great DJ story about DJing Obama’s Election Night!

CHARITY EVENTS

Fundraisers and charity events always need a music expert on hand to ensure the success of their event – but more often than not, they’re asking their friends to help find someone who can DJ some music off their iPod. In particular, large and lengthy charity events (a great example in the US is Relay For Life) need a DJ to keep the participants going through the course of the entire event.

How You Get The Gig: Attend events being run by or that benefit a nonprofit/charity and hunt down the organizer. This will almost always be an unpaid gig!

RENEGADE PICNIC

If you’ve never heard the story of how Claude VonStroke’s record label, Dirtybird, came into existance – it’s time for some education. Long story short, Claude, Justin Martin, Christian Martin, and a few of their compadres bought a massive sound system to bring to picnics in Golden Gate Park. For the first few attempts, just their friends showed up and listened to their tech house selections- but word spread, and soon thousands of people started showing up to their renegade park party.

It’s an absurdly successful party now – see for yourself:

SPORTING EVENTS

Most major sports teams now have their own DJs to provide the sounds during any downtime in their games. This keeps the audience pumped and entertained during halftimes, commercial breaks, and even simple timeouts.

Many non-professional teams aren’t this fancy, but would jump at the chance to have a DJ holding down their show. This could also be an opportunity to test your mettle at sports announcing if that’s on your bucket list.

How To Get The Gig: Find a sport you know decently and find the arena/venue manager – or maybe even just the home team coach!

DJ BUSKING

Finally, this “venue” is a bit more oriented towards unique live performers and producers, as busking requires a bit of generative talent to really capture an audience. The best example of this being successful for someone in the industry is DubFX – but other producers (especially finger drummers!) have a great opportunity in public spaces. Check out this video of a street performer rocking an MPC in Melbourne:

How To Not Get Shut Down: Get a busking license – pretty much every city has their own rules for busking. Google it!

ADDITIONAL IDEAS

There’s plenty of other alternative venues out there – here’s some of our favorites that came up in the brainstorming session:

ice rink / roller rink
cruise ship
parades
block parties
fashion shows

Great ideas. This is why it’s important to tell everyone that you ARE a DJ, not that you work at (Insert Job here) and that you also DJ. One thing that has worked for me is, if you’re attending school, DJ for Sorority events. ..Lots of girls, lots of exposure.

quite an easy one this one. But my nearest record/dj equipment store always has a set up there and you can bust out some tunes if you ask even a set.

love the idea of the dirtybird renegade discos. ;) just in the UK it won’t work due to the in the 90′s the raves around the M25 (highway that surrounds London for our state-side friends). but because the parties were so big and caused so much damage the UK government passed laws that basically say if you play music to a group of people which i think it is no more that 5 people in a in public place the police can seize your gear unless it’s a venue with a with a ents licence or a private party as to which the music can not be on after 11pm so no renegades any time soon. ;(

I have played during live painting lessons at a local “hip” bar and restaurant It was still during dinner at this restaurant so i had to play mellow sets, but it was fun, the people eating dinner got to watch a small group of people make paintings, while I provided atmosphere for the whole venue.

I’m a high school senior from Seattle and I’ve been lucky enough to connect with the local mountain biking organization, whenever they have some kind of competition or festival they call me up. They’re a non-profit so they dont pay me, but I’ve played some pretty cool gigs with them in the national or state forests where they do their races. Once, I had by turntables running off my friends generator under a canopy in the rain. It was pretty great to see all the racers come in covered in mud and start getting down, probably one of the more unique gigs. From the same connection I was recommended to a Red Bull representative who now calls me up whenever he does a mountain bike movie premiere, competition or other Red Bull promotional event. Playing for somebody like Red Bull at 18 is a bit of a dream for me and it’s not a bad connection to have. Plus, Red Bull pays! So take those free events, meet some good people, make good connections and have fun! Soon you’ll find yourself exactly where you want to be!

I have djed on top of a bouldering wall for a climbing competition and because of that was able to help create a blacklight bouldering party. We brought in 8 moving lights and about 24 leds. I get “paid” with climbing passes. This allows the gym to barter and make it worth both our time.
Spacecamp

Hey, I DJ’d in a climbing gym once myself, for a competition they were having there! Totally forgot about it until your comment, but it was tons of fun. People in gyms always seem to enjoy driving music that gets them up the wall.

Good deal on trading passes, that’s valuable!

ill leave the full comment later but some of the places were
A) Store front Fashion show ( The Gap clothing store)
B) Full on fashion show at the Willowbrook Mall in NJ.
C) College Campus all day event for senior day.
D) HAY RIDE farm area
E) biggest one of all was the New Jersey State Fair, in northern NJ. over 10,000 people a day went through there and all i had to do was reserve a table, get a tent over me, and ask for power. Done deal

I took a gig as a resort DJ under contract for 3 months (similar to what you suggest as cruise ship), I quit after 3 weeks – you have to play all day and night 6 days a week at the pool and ocean and there is nowhere to go on your day off and you are discouraged from mingling too much with guests. You play the same music over and over – you really need to be in the headspace for this because it is a torture test. You are better off doing weddings or corporate parties: you rock the house, you get paid well and then you leave.

Big on the festival circuit here in Europe, always a laugh. Last one I went to they had 2 seperate streams playing with 2 channel selectable headphones, so half the people dancing to one DJ, and the others to the other half! Funny as heel to watch, people dancing to 2 different beats.

Recently played in a hotel that hasn’t been updated since probably the 1930s. They normally have bands during the holiday season when they open. I played while the band would go for fag / bathroom breaks. Then we had a little improvised set and I finished the night off after.

In regard to retail stores they are interesting venues especially on Friday and Saturday afternoons when people are shopping for something to wear out that night and getting in the mood for going out. Image is important at these sorts of gigs though. You must look the part, Gear set up neatly, wires organized etc… I would suggest asking the management for the lend of something to wear while playing those sorts of gigs because if you don’t dress in the style the shop caters to you will stick out compared to all the other staff.

the licensed art I hang out at has a decent sized garage, which I have access to for small raves :) there was also a theater nights thing that goes on every month (forgot the new location) I used to hit up to see/perform shows.

I also do full moon parties with friends. We pick a location and a charity. Then we book various artists, everything from guitarists to DJs. The shows are donation based and proceeds go to the charity we selected that month

Top deck! My last fun out-of-the-ordinary gig was on the roof of a yacht. We had a different DJ on each floor of the ship, which made it’s way up the river through downtown Portland and back. It was a crazy party! My strangest gig was DJing for a crawfish feed in the middle of the woods… I definitely got paid in crawfish.

Somone mentioned corporate parties, and I think there’s lots of opportunity there. First, there are your typical company parties, and these can be on-site or at a catering space. Second, I’d suggest business conferences. These events usually have networking receptions every night…all need bands or DJs. Also, it might be worth it to see if you can get a “residence” playing at a corporate cafeteria once a week. Some of the younger, tech-oriented companies are doing this occasionally.

Car shows are fun. I do a classic car show every year in a rural Texas town. The average attendee is of retirement age, so it’s a good opportunity to brush up on 50′s-early 60′s music. It’s 5-6 hours also, which isn’t as long as some gigs but still an endurance test.

Orig The DJ

I play anywhere from off-road parks to art galleries and everything in between. I think it’s ok to go outside of your ort zone as a DJ. Getting to experience different types of groups of people will give you a good perspective of what people enjoy musically. I’m also a music producer, so this comes in handy when trying to tap into different styles of music. Or, to just bring in a bit of flavor into a record that needs that “something”
I’ve noticed many DJs tend to stick to only a few genres of music. They get great at it but will reach a ceiling in there skills. It’s most likely that the inspiration is fading away for a while. So, I challenge you guys to do something different every now and then. If anything, it will help rekindle your passion for what you’ve been spinning and let you see what you don’t like.

http://www.facebook.com/thislink Alan Daniel Camarena

I played everywhere I could, coffee shops, bars, clubs, downtown, clothing stores, fashion competitions, raves, skate parks…. Learned a bit from each side, didn’t really get paid much, but the most important thing was the experience I earned and the music database that I built during all that time. Playing in different places always called for different tunes for different moods that ended up being included in the set. I stopped gigging for the past 6 months, and now I’m back! And all those tunes that I got have definitely spiced up every step of my mixing, all the way from the warmup selection with that chill trip hop I played at the coffee shop and slow transition to the nu-disco I got for the clothing store to the progressive house I played at the fashion shows, then the really hardcore track selection I got from raving during the climax of the night and even the closing stage when I play the strangest avant-garde things I got just to let everyone know it’s time to go home… Followed up by killing the sound and letting people resolve their night talking.
http://www.facebook.com/thislink Alan Daniel Camarena

those seem fun, are they loud? I’m guessing lockers should work specially great lol.
http://www.facebook.com/thislink Alan Daniel Camarena

yeah, I DJ’d for the past 5 years, and I agree, having a certain preference (or specialization) for a genre only limits your skills to certain places. The more open you are to playing with different types of people the better you’ll get at throwing an enjoyable set anywhere. As a producer it has lead me to a much wider path where I can pick a concept for a track today and a totally different one tomorrow if I feel like it. It sure as hell will take more time to master more genres but on the long run it’ll be much more gratifying.
http://www.facebook.com/thislink Alan Daniel Camarena

Yeah I’d pass… I definitely can’t stand to listen to the same repetitive beat/mood for a long time, specially after a point where my ears are fatigued… and being limited to just talking to the staff kinda sucks.

Here in Seattle there’s a huge beer culture, and that means lots of breweries and other events where some of the downtempo I play goes over well with the tastings and festivals they put on. I get to attend some great beer tastings I’d probably be at any way, get in free, plenty of excellent beer not available to the public, and most likely I’m getting paid decently too. Could be worse!

Organising your own silent disco on a metro seems like a good opportunity of getting many of the headphones you’re handing out getting nicked.

Most of the other events listed here seem places where you’re likely to be playing pop music. I mean, I don’t think that most museums won’t appreciate me playing Zedd and Mord Fustang all evening. So while the above might work for pop-music oriented DJ’s, most of the above venues won’t be the place if you specialize in a certain or a few genre’s.

You guys are trying to get into everything while those of us who sweat over trying to make art (that you may eventually rip off and “busk” for) have fewer and fewr options. Leave the art galleries to artiest who use sound as their medium. Not people who hack others sound and mix it up and call it art. Yea, finger painting is an art form to. But any kid can do it.
