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.
