Exchange DJ set length times – What is your preference?
We (Melbourne) have just had out Melbourne Lindy Exchange. I was in charge to coordinating the DJ’s over the weekend. I was trying to ensure every DJ got a minimum of 90 minutes set and most got a 120 minute set.
The reason I did this, is because in my opinion a Good DJ will work the room a lot better in these kind of set times rater than a short set.
The down side is it reduces the number of DJ’s you can have.
What’s your view on Set lengths for experienced DJ’s at large events?

That's not my experience. I've been turned down when I requested to DJ at events/exchanges that I did not know any of the organizers. I have also denied a few people when they requested to DJ at SoFlex. I usually schedule DJs who have been DJing for at least 4 years around the US.mousethief wrote:Organizers are too afraid to say no to any DJ that knocks on their door.
