Reply to From the Club to Mobile Gigs

Hey Guys,

was looking to get some thoughts on going from the club to mobile stuff.

A bit about me; I play clubs in a ridiculously competitive city with frequent up-and-comers doing free gigs quickly becoming the norm. So playing in Clubs does not net me very much cash. While Djing isn't my main job, it is always nice to make a bit of scratch, even if it only covers the evening after my set.

Anyways, a family friend with a pretty successful mobile dj business calls me this morning, offering serious dough for a few events coming up in the near future (i am looking at making around $500 a evening ). Apart from a few parties that i have done for friends and friends of, where i earned a 100 or so max, i have not done much mobile djing since i was initially introduced into the world by a different friend with a mobile dj business.

I just wanted to get a few opinions off some other djs who have had similar experiences in crossing over. I have agreed to a gig friday next week, but am very weary about what impacts mobile djing could have on my club career, as i am still developing who i am creatively and sound wise. Having said that, it is some serious coin, which i can use to build some production into my home setup.

What do you guys believe?
