'DN4 DJ's' - Anyone had any expiereince of working with these guys?

There is an article about this in the latest Mixmag, if you are interested.

yeah man it totally benefits me to slag some company in london. i absolutely have a warped agenda and it's specifically some beef I have with DN4 DJs. get off it, man. if you believe that kind of talk makes any degree of sense, re-evaluate your life.

let's look at the facts about you:
- You, with no previous posts, show up the first following business day, or in just enough time for this post to get indexed on a search engine and fire off a google alert, as the first person with anything positive to say, reciting something sounding a lot like a press release but offering absolutely no specifics about who you are, where you've gotten gigs, etc.
- Your post not only includes press-release worthy sap, but also a personal plea to 'keep negative commentary about the company off the internet.' This is probably because this thread is google search result #4 when you pop DN4Djs into it. This also falls perfectly in line with our friend receiving calls to take down the thread.

And some facts we know about the company:
- A few people here have legit complaints with your company, which seem to go in line with the 'scam' angle.
- They charge artists to be managed up-front, which is a not-very-common business model by my experience, especially with no guarantee of success.
- They claim to have been around for years but their domain, twitter and other assorted social media accounts spun up in February of this year.

I don't have a warped agenda, I have a firey hatred for scams and in particular really distrust companies that dispatch agents to float fake positive reviews rather than fix their image through actual changes in their behavior. I'd prefer people not get taken advantage of (as is obviously happening per previous remarks in this thread) and I am a little amazed that you would consider my skepticism about that business model 'shady', though again, as an agent of DN4 it's likely you're just speaking out of hurt.

If there are actual, quantifiable, distinct positive experiences you've had with DN4, then air them. Cite specific gigs. Give details. Otherwise I'm going to continue to disbelieve you loudly.

i mean, i'm not saying I know anything. i'm saying all this going on right now is shady as hell and i'm getting more and more skeptical that there's any truth in it. i'd be glad to be proven wrong.

I too would like to set the record straight. DN4DJS are fully legit and they employ some of the best DJs in the world, including myself. I am such a good DJ that they made ME pay THEM for gigs. Only a company committed to excellence knows the value of having their DJs get a little skin in the game before getting them the big gigs.

And the organizational skills are unprecedented. They helped me organize my entire music collection by artist. It didn't take too long, but they showed me a great way to separate the two artists in my collection between "Avicii" and "Skillrez".

These guys are like my best friends. They care so much about their DJs that they'll share their secrets with you like what they're afraid of and what embarrassing artists they have on their iPod. You'll share yours with them like your bank's routing number and mother's maiden name. How can guys like that be interested in scams?

Being positive and around positive people helps things to move forward.

Being negative and around negative people will bring you right down with no where to go.

There are no hidden agendas as far as the company's concerned, there organization skills, commitment to you as a Dj is more than satisfactory.

Whats is shady is the fact that you are slating a company online for no apparent reason.

[...some bullshit...]

thanks for your interest in what I had to say but your opinions should be kept to yourself as it is obvious to me that you have some warped agenda going on here.

cool, so, your company that you work for (and i believe this obvious) just became a thousand times more shady after you dropped by to pull this classy little number.

seriously, i've never, EVER heard of people paying to sign with a promoter like that. also, your 'experience' with them reads like a press release, save for the fact that press releases are usually proofread and contain proper grammar and spelling.

in summary, go away.

I have recently signed with DN4 and haven't had any problems at all. They have got me various gigs in London, arranged photo shoot for profile and sorted a Graphic designer for help with a logo. They are a hard working team who have been doing a lot of promo work which I don't have time to do myself. There seems to be a few negative comments on here which are not called for with my experiences with them. You should call them and discuss any issues as that you have rather than posting them online. I'm sure they will sort them out.

Cheers

Just been contacted by this London based DJ agency about the possibility of working with them.
Their site seems pretty genuine (if a little short on content http://dn4djs.com/).
They have asked if I can give them a call today, but before I do that I was just wondering if any of the DJTT community have had any experience of them?

Any insights would be appreciated!
