Me little bro will be here from Dec. 27th till Jan 17th ands wants to get his DJ on in Taipei city. I’m looking for a Segue member or guest that knows a friend of a friend of a friend that knows the guy who owns [insert dance club here] so I could give him or her me little bros demo CD.
I remember reading some posts that said some clubs just played CD’s and didn’t have a DJ some nights so I figured if I went around asking questions I’d be able to find a club that would let him DJ a night or two. Maybe one day I’ll decide not to play counter strike and actually go around and ask questions (not likely), until that day comes, this post will have to do.
He’s bringing his own records? wow, what a crazy thing for a DJ to do…
unless your DJ brother has played at big clubs, don’t count on getting anything in such a short space of time. most clubs/promoters here are notoriously closed minded about things unless you’re paul oakenfold or something.

Have you no faith in the force? I know he’d do it for free just so he could say “I’ve spun in Taiwan.” It doesn’t have to be at a huge club. He’s spun at the biggest clubs in Milwaukee,WI (ooooh, wow I know) and he’ll be spinning at some club in Mineapolis that holds 1200 people or sumptin. This thought is off the notion that a lot of clubs here don’t have DJ’s on certain nights. I know that if I knew the right person, I’d have no problem getting him some time some where. This post is assisting my search to find that right person. If nothing comes of it that’s ok.
It’s not what you know (how good you are), it’s who you know.
But, thanks for your insight
P.S. The bringing his own records thing was to let people know I wasn’t posting: Hey, my brother DJ’ed once and it would be cool if he could come here and… Whatever, I just thought it’d make it a more serious request.
B1 needs a decent 10pm-1am DJ to replace the inept, rhythmless fool they have DJing at the moment. (In my opinion). Unfortunately, the staff assert that he is very famous in Taiwan.
Anyway, I think Michael is right, too hard to get a temporary gig. I do know the previous barman at B1 though, so I’ll ask him if there’s a possiblity. But probably not…
For any seguest’s that’d like to see some miltown DJ action, catch me bro at Citizen Cain next saturday for no cover from 11pm-1am, then run over to 12 Monkeys (formally Spin) to see him headline from 1:30am-3:30am (350 cover).
If anyone was at Citizen Cain last night from 10 till about 2 that was me brother you saw.
For your info, this Saturday Elliot will be spinning again Citizen Cain. It’s a new, lounge-like place with good drinks and food. It’s small but not loud–you can hold a conversation without having to shout over the music. All for no cover. What could be better?
