  • Promotion vs DJing, a tricky situation image
  • With the tides of change in Melbourne, some of the old DJing guard are making waves overseas such as Kasey Taylor and Phil K, while a whole new generation of DJs have stepped up to the decks. If you know anyone who DJs you know that the hardest thing to do is breakthrough the old guard and score that gig. In this feature Melbourne writer Terry Goldfain interviews many Melbourne's DJs about the fine line in promoting yourself to get a gig vs getting by on merit and skill alone. Then once you score that gig, will you only get more if you can bring a huge posse through the door behind you? It's a tough world out there and we look into the heart of the situation in this very interesting feature.
