What Type Of DJ Do You Want To Be?

Literally every day a DJ is asking someone somewhere for tips and advice on how to get gigs playing in clubs or parties or even how to become the next superstar.

The five types of DJ…

Mobile DJs – These are the guys who are playing at wedding receptions, bar mitzvahs, corporate events and so on.

Sports/college bar DJ – If you see one of these DJs playing, you might think they are similar to mobile DJs, but they are more a cross between what you’ll see a mobile DJ do and what a club DJ will do.

Mainstream club DJ – Moving up the ladder from playing smaller bars is the mainstream club. These are the spots you’ll see that might range from the tourist trap to the glam bottle service club.

Underground club DJ – This is probably the one spot most young DJs want to be in. Big or small, they want to be the DJ in the cool venue that plays music that isn’t normally heard in the realm of the mainstream.

Rave DJ – I could throw this under the “underground club DJ” slot, but there is a bigger difference now between someone who shows up and playing a normal set of house or trance in a big club versus the guy who shows up at a massive one-night event and plays music most clubs wouldn’t touch.

Essential etiquette tips for cottage wedding guests

Being a wedding guest is a lot more complicated than simply showing up. There are always delicate etiquette issues you need to be conscious of – spending enough on a gift, inviting an appropriate date, expressing proper gratitude and well wishes to the newly married couple.

And if your friends or family members decide to get hitched up at a cottage, you can expect to deal with a whole host of new etiquette issues.

Be aware of the limited resources

Don’t whine about the weather (or the bugs)

Respect the neighbours

Don’t mess with the natural surroundings

Bring a gift that’s easy to take back to the city
