Getting gigs..... tips.

So i had a bit of a break from electronic music, then moved to Berlin and inevitabley ended up getting back into it.

I started off DJing, when i was 17 and at the same time producing. I had a few gigs, and then i went travelling moved country, and lost all my contacts.

Ive finally made a new mix and really want to get back into playing out again but feel overwhealmed in Berlin. Everybodys a DJ, if i was back in my small town with 1 or two techno nights its much easier to get to know people.

Any advice on people on how to get yourself on the ladder?

Im thinking i might be better working towards getting some releases out and use that as a stepping stone.

Unfortunately, releases are pretty much the only way to get a real name for yourself - especially in Berlin and other big cities flooded with djs. Unless you're the most fantastic dj ever, of course

Should work on your knobbing skills. Sure to land a handful of gigs that way.
