Quit djing or begin producing

I will take that advice and use it this weekend. I feel a ballsy move like that will get his attention. I basically said the same thing to him once asking for an hour and he said ‘my dj’s are under contract to play every weekend’. But I’m gonna keep trying and do what u did terry. And I know I could kill it too because we all have those dance floor fillers that we go to every 30mins or so in the night. I’ll just combine them all into a 15min mix and have the manager begging me to play for them. Thankyou terry for the idea.

Since my post has been published on the main page, i feel like a complete idiot and very embarrassed for what i have said and truly regret posting that. Now that i have realized what i have done wrong. let me explain the full situation.

I have been djing for a couple years like i said. came from overseas djing every weekend and having a blast doing it. I dj’d to fund that habit and my drift car i had. So when i came back here and it became very hard to find gigs i started losing faith. I would talk to the managers, become friends. become a very frequent customer at the clubs and just make myself look as best as possible with being polite to the bouncers, tipping waitresses, and getting to know the dj’s as best as possible. Ive been doing this for 5 months now with no luck. I have a steady set of followers here on this base already that know me as a dj and like my mixing. Heck, i even had the Chief master sergeant of the base ask me to dj for a base wide dorm party. I have connections here and they work pretty well. But I’m finding getting connections in a bigger city very hard.

So i have come to a dilemma of do i continue to try and get gigs and social market the heck out of myself, or do i put my main focus on trying to begin producing. Yes i could do both, but when i work 12hr shifts, school, and random bull#hit that comes up with the military. I only truly have time for one hobby at a time. Now i love dj’ing. It helped me get through some hard times and it helps me relax and relieve stress. I truly do love doing it. But I’m also finding myself wanting to get into producing more and more. My dream since i was a teenager years ago was to become a touring edm superstar. Now, that is very unrealistic but i have to try. So if that means i have to give up one love to begin another. I will do it.

So from reading that. What do you guys think i should do. Temporally put my love of djing to the side to produce. Or keep working my ass off to get the djing jobs i desperately crave?

Again. I’m sorry for coming off as an asshole in my post and seeming to dish on anyone who uses a laptop or sync or anything like that. I truly did not mean to offend you. So please forgive me for that one moment of assholeness.
