I need to vent about some really unprofessional club promoters.

I have a few clubs I work for around town and mostly things are good, but I've noticed a trend lately. The trend is club promoters booking their half assed "I can't even beatmatch" DJ friends (who dont even practice, or ever get any better), instead of booking DJs that actually know how to work a room.

Normally I wouldn't really care, its their problem and if they run their shitty little club evening into the ground it doesn't really hurt me.

But what really bothers me is their total lack of loyalty to DJs that have worked for them in the past pulled a crowd and made their club good. In the past few weeks I've seen several good DJs on my Facebook account complaining about the same thing. They worked for a club for years building the evening for them always doing a good job, then the next minute some new promoter comes along and starts booking their crappy little friends and completely stops booking the good DJ who works hard to do a good job.

I don't see how the owners of these clubs are not doing something about these promoters running their club into the ground. It's not just destroying the clubs its destroying the whole scene.
