Any other travelers out there that DJ or do live performances as a hobby?
I DJ as a hobby and try to fit into the scene wherever there is one. It's a love/hate thing for me because as soon as I get traction with the local scene my contract is up and I'm moving on.
This kinda stinks because the scene is always networking/word of mouth. So I'm always the odd one out and having social anxiety doesn't help!
Do y'all start looking into the social aspects of an area before you go?
My last contract I had built up a small following in the city and had a good connection with the local DJ community, so it was bittersweet when my contract was up.
