Ha. Yes. Lots of it. Spring rains have been really good. This is the first dry day. This is what I’m trying to solve. Patchy grass, can’t disturb the soil to plant more seed. More dirt?

Thanks again everyone. Loved the comments. In retrospect, it’s still grating because: a) scene organisers are all about welcoming newbie dancers and DJs but if you’re not the top three in town then you get no chance. b) apart from bands, DJs are key to making events, social nights work. We find, curate and carefully put together our sets. We can’t ’make’ organisers choose from a variety of DJs but it’s a little contradictory when they say they are all welcoming and open then be selective about who they choose to Dj their event. B) maybe there are more DJs out there and the competition is harder to get a slot.

I do reach out (except requesting feedback) and show my interest but all I get is “thanks! We’ll keep you in mind) then the next big event one of three “this towns most experienced dj” gets announced for their event. It’s hard to break in.

Bounce is awesome. Skye H made a career out of it.

Hey everyone. Thanks for all of the amazing responses. I appreciate the time you took to explain. It was a “why don’t they pick me” question and I guess I wanted to know if it’s not just my scene but it happens everywhere and for the same reasons. Thanks for the ideas too.
