Re: Digweed doesn't charge for DJing anymore?

He probably means that he charges for the inconvinience of traveling, not just the flights.

Re: Digweed doesn't charge for DJing anymore?

This is an epic fail, he doesn't charge for it any more, so he used to for DJ-ing! So what has changed? Nothing. Its just a load of keep the PR machine rolling. This thread is worse than the [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=132"]Homegrove[/url]'s I'm celebrating my 10 years in the industry thread. What a couple of cunts. I can get you a cab to the event 5 minutes from your house John, no flying involved. Every little helps.

Re: Digweed doesn't charge for DJing anymore?

respect for digweed, but kinda agree with chunky too.

he can do what he wants. and i completely understand about the payment for travel.

Let's face it, [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=2"]John Digweed[/url] is the Johnny Appleseed of sick underground electronic techno house music, with apologies to Dom Phillips.

The excerpt came from this interview (longer quote):

[B][SIZE=4][FONT=tahoma]WHY DO YOU STILL DJ?[/FONT][/SIZE][/B]

[SIZE=3][FONT=tahoma]Because I love it. [/FONT][/SIZE] [B][SIZE=4][FONT=tahoma]WHAT DOES IT EVOKE FROM YOU?[/FONT][/SIZE][/B]

[SIZE=4][FONT=tahoma][SIZE=3]When you spend half your life doing something you enjoy, it’s second nature to me. If I have a couple of weekends off I want to get out and play. You know for me, there’s nothing better than sharing the music I love with people who want to hear it. I don’t look at it as work—I look at it as a fun time. I don’t charge for DJing, I charge for flying to get there now. The traveling is the aspect I charge for; the DJing is free.[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE]

Meh.

Try telling [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=5"]Sasha[/url] this.

What a load of bollocks.

#1608746Post 17 of 28

Re: Digweed doesn't charge for DJing anymore?

I only charge for travelling to and from work as well.

#1608752Post 18 of 28

Re: Digweed doesn't charge for DJing anymore?

I don't charge for my work or for travelling there either. But, as soon as i have a cup of tea the bill goes in.

#1608753Post 19 of 28

Re: Digweed doesn't charge for DJing anymore?

Assume Yorkshire Gold is charged out at a higher rate than Tetley's Bob ?

#1608838Post 20 of 28

Re: Digweed doesn't charge for DJing anymore?

I used to do that Simon but found i was penalising myself, charging less encourages people to give you crap tea as well. I now go for a fixed rate.

People read the bill and say "why am i giving you £500 to drink fucking tea??!!??"

I say "ah but i'm doing the job for free you know", everyone shares a lovely warm feeling of good karma and then the sun shines out of my arse.

Re: Digweed doesn't charge for DJing anymore?

Don't Idolise these people, they are fucking morons, enjoy the music but don't listen to anything they have to say. Digweed, Burridge, Sander & Seaman have all made complete cocks of themselves.

Re: Digweed doesn't charge for DJing anymore?

I think you missed the point. As usual.
