| Lilliana Perris 15.11.2011 | Nope...no real clue that I am a known Psy DJ. The woman organizing its husband (whom I know) always checks out my vids and things and has seen my gear etc. So he knows I can do the job. Her....not so sure. Possibly they Googled me and found summing...I dunno. Don't really care....but the money would have been damn good. Gonna use the leave I booked to build my DJ Desk I believe. I used to want to play out all the time....cuz I never practiced psy sets. I can mix on CDJ's like a demon....and new the tracks I wanted to jam. So there was no joy of it at home.....only when I played out. Now that I have a big ass setup at home....I could not care about playing out to be honest.... Well...until I rock my next Psy gig in Feb and headline on the Alternate floor in Jan....then I will probably be hooked on the crowd again. Thanks for the kind words and support chaps! This place is awesome! |
| Torie Hollobaugh 14.11.2011 | 5fm has gone from OK to WORST in no time. I can't believe the commercial cheese they're squeezing out still keeps them alive. Why did they ever change? Where are the days of Barney Simon and Derek the Bandit, hell even Roger Goode. Not saying those guys are my heroes, but they certainly were heroes for music. Every weekend driving into CT (from Bellville) for a party, The Bandit would warm me up, even if he couldn't mix well, he played loads of international set list. And Barney would rock us all on a Sunday/Monday on the way to Henry J Beans for after-weekend comedown drinks. And then they all got axed. WTF?! Luckily Roger Goode stepped in on Fridays, but as I understand he's gone too. 5fm had such a good thing going at one stage. Why did they fuck it up like that?! Hell, even Kfm is better now! Even RSG! OK, maybe not RSG. Dude I feel for you. It's really totally fucking sad that the commercial establishment is throttling a man that can make a difference. Again. Do they know you're a PsyJock? Because that lot can walk with their minds closed sometimes, a single wiff of "hippie" is enough for them to dissociate. Shit I don't even know the story and I'm ranting bigtime. I somma play sakkie boere dans and drink brandewyn and rook dagga, and kick my dog! My blood pressure is rising, I can't type this fast enough, and I don't even live there anymore. Must be years of pent-up saffa anger caused by bad 5fm DJs. |
| Lin Danek 15.11.2011 | Sias se moer - the stations believe they rule the industry. |
| Lilliana Perris 14.11.2011 | Sias from 5FM to be exact. The main thing was the unprofessionalism...... |
| Lin Danek 12.11.2011 | Sorry 'bru - their loss. Probably a radio jock with a bad drive show that plays Rihanna, BEP's and the like, make cheesy crank calls and discuss JuJu. |
| Candy Vardy 11.11.2011 | Shit man sorry to hear about that. Chin up bru, when one door closes, another one opens! |
| Lilliana Perris 11.11.2011 | FUCKING BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Just got a Gtalk from the woman who is organising this thing, that she has now decided to go with some radio jock. Did not even have the courtesy to let me know herself. Fuck thats shallow.... They will keep me in mind for their launches etc. Whatever..... Oh well....such is life. Just booked my leave off work for that too. BAHH! |
| Lin Danek 14.10.2011 | Went to a soccer game there for the world cup, IMHO the best stadium - AMAZING. Going to COOK 'bro. |

| Lilliana Perris 13.10.2011 | Agreed Jonathan! Will definitely up the rate once they are happy with what i delivered. I will also definitely be jamming in between games etc! See what i can fit in! The price I am charging was a suggestion from the Organisers husband....the guy who put me onto the gig. Its SARU....they def have $$! |

I believe you could safely squeeze them for R850p/h. Not because they can afford it, but because you're worth more than R625. |
| Lilliana Perris 11.10.2011 | Right! So its 2 days worth of work. 2 x 8 hours. Its not beatmixing etc and playing sets, but choosing the right song for the time of the vibe and to control the man walking in the crowd with a hand cam's mic volume. The type of music needs to range from old classics to new shit like LMAO. Basically I will be playing during the game playing the appropriate tunes and in the breaks etc. They will fly me there and back and put me up in a hotel and feed my ass. I will be charging R10 000 for both days. I believe that is fair. The DJ last year had some attitude issues apaprently and seeing as this is a SARU event, I just want to do what they need me to and do it well. Then I am sure they will keep using me for their other events. Looking to the future I am! What you okes recon? Thats R625 an hour..... My usual rate for outdoor parties etc is R1500 an hour, but can't charge that obviously. |
| Candy Vardy 01.10.2011 | Awesome man, I'm sure its gonna be great even if it includes some top 40 saffa stuff. At least its a top gig with RRR's and positive possibilities for the future. |
| Lilliana Perris 30.09.2011 | Cheers guys! I am not sure on the playlist yet. I have just been given the contact and still need to work out the particulars....ie....PAYMENT! I hope its not some lame as local folks music shit.....Worsie Visser.....etc. Or lots of local commercial music. Arg... |
| Margie Pavell 29.09.2011 | whats the playlist? |
