    Miami? 100 bucks per hour?
    Just guessing here by my previous US gigs.

    I think $100 is a fair rate too.

    $100 an hour? Really? Maybe the DC area is hurt worse by under-cutting than Miami, but if you are a beginner or don’t have a good answer for the “what’s ur draw, bro?” question, but pay is a fraction of that here.

    Maybe I need to relocate…

    I’d say at LEAST $50.00 an hour if you’re not using your own equipment. But try to score as high as possible.

    IF they agreed on 100 dolla / hour dont forget to ask for your DJ compliments drinks also, because that should be excluding from your rate

    6 hours is a looooong time without a free drink, just sayin lol

    You guys! My first residency in 5-star hotels was 6 nights a week/6 hours a night. I did get free drinks though (and room and board in a 5-star hotel) LOL.

    I got paid 450 GBP in 1984, plus (hotel)room and board. Not too shabby for a 21 year old kid.

    Yeah but back in 1984 you still looked good (and I started High School and looked stunningly good hehe) 😉

    Same good looks, just a bit older, heavier and more grey hair. What do you think?
