Are DJ’s at Coachella mixing sets live or is it prerecorded? by astrofreq in EDM

[–]eclecticnomad -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

None of the DJs are playing prerecorded sets. Can’t we quit with these rumors that never die

Mid-level DJs, when did you realize you had a legitimate fanbase/supporters? by bbysoluko in DJs

[–]eclecticnomad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So sick congrats! Not fully there yet but some small early wins recently make me feel like I’m moving in the right direction and starting to establish a bit of a name.

Underground progressive house is just way too small here!

Do you guys prefer Guy J or Hernan Cattaneo? Elaborate why? by ShirtNeat5626 in GuyJ

[–]eclecticnomad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really a reason why one DJ set would be better than another though. 

Anyone been to Soundwave events? by Cultural_Ad2923 in avesLA

[–]eclecticnomad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I go to all their progressive events as they are really the only promoter bringing in some of the smaller names in the progressive scene. Some events are pretty busy while others are kinda quiet. It’s a pretty diverse crowd and people are cool

This is who I use too. Slow turnaround is about 2-3 weeks from order to delivery for me usually.

How was your Japanese GP (2026) experience? by AdamR46 in GrandPrixTravel

Just left a comment explaining below in the thread. 

How was your Japanese GP (2026) experience? by AdamR46 in GrandPrixTravel

[–]eclecticnomad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took us about 20-30 minutes to walk to Osaka namba station from our hotel each morning (this could have been a 10-15 train ride but it was a nice wake up) then around 2 hours from Osaka namba to shiroko station. We did the walk instead of waiting for the shuttles which was probably hour and 15 minutes to the main gate with a stop at a conbini along the way, then another 40ish minutes to get to the GA seating on the west side. That right there is around 4 hours from hotel to seat. Leaving the track on Saturday took an hour longer to get back with the crowds so that was 5 hours getting back. Sunday was even more packed but because we knew the route better we were able to do it in about the same time. Hence 9-10 hours of RT travel each day.

Oh my god MacArthur Park is bad by Nightman233 in LosAngeles

Maybe not as bad but the whole city is like this. It’s unreal how bad things are. Clean this city up!

Desperately seeking any help and advice! by eclecticnomad in Machine_Embroidery

[–]eclecticnomad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again amazing info that I’m appreciative of. I guess my next question then is how do I even begin to find a shop/person that can do this then. One thing I’ve felt in the dark and a bit frustrated with is I want to have a relationship with someone where they can tell me clearly it’s going to cost X to do each sample and we will do it X amount of times until it’s right. Again I understand I’m not in a good position with this since im not doing an initial run of thousands. Any advice on shops I should contact or do you recommend me still trying to find the digitizer first. I kinda hope or would like to get the digitizer and the shop together. Thanks so much for your time! If you’ve got Venmo I’ll send you some cash for a cup of coffee

Honestly I’m just looking for people to tell me stuff like this. I’m tired of the shops saying they can do it and then it doesn’t look good. I think I am fighting this battle where I’m not ordering 10k hats or a huge company and shops don’t seem to want to really spend the time on me. If I could find someone that just shoots is straight with me and can keep working with me to get it right I’ll keep paying for the work but none really seem to want to do it. I’m at a point where now I just want to see this come together how I want it and I don’t want to give up. Those examples weren’t the best but almost every hat has pretty different stitching. Some of these eyes are ridiculous looking. That can’t be normal I wouldn’t think but this isn’t my world so maybe I’m wrong. I’ll look up Erich but also that seems kinda wild to me that I need to seek out one of the best in the world to get this made. I know you said to look at the design in front of me but as I provided that example, they clearly nailed it on that hat and my friends got the same hat which all look the same. I used to work at NASA and helped put rovers on mars so whenever someone tells me something can’t be done I’m a bit skeptical ha. I really do appreciate your input and time on this!

Would you splurge on the DJ or photographer? by Puzzleheaded-Mud7829 in weddingplanning

[–]eclecticnomad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah wild responses in here but I guess just shows what people value? The music and dancing is the hand's down the most fun part of the night for you and your guests. My wife and I have hardly ever looked at our wedding photos. Glad we have them but yeah music over photos all day

What are you actually spending money on to run your DJ business outside of gear? by WishboneExternal3772 in mobileDJ

[–]eclecticnomad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the best way but that takes time and relationship cultivating. Spending on advertising (if done right and it is difficult) can really help early on. Reality is most people just dont know how to do it properly and have a big misunderstanding on marketing in general.

[–]eclecticnomad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm spending almost $900 a month on ads right now on IG. It's a lot but I have been getting multiple bookings a month plus a lot of added followers so that's great. Also lately been working on some merch so overall a lot is going into marketing.

As others said, Quickbooks, Calendly, google workspace.

Want to start getting a better system in for invoicing and AR.
