give your demo's to people who actually put on parties at clubs. go to places you like, get to know the people and dj's there. Don't beg for gigs

make a bunch of copies and drop them off with the manager of the club with all contact info. the more professional the better. make yourself known with the staff/owner by frequenting and keeping in contact.

go to the club manager and give them to him/her with a good idea on how you are gonna get people to come out to your show. Also if you want to get play time at parties then you need to look at who is throwing alot of the parties and give your demo to that groups promoter. djing is all about who you know in dallas and how much money you can make for the club with your talent being a second

Make sure your demo is as polished as possible. Besides a good mix, that means an eye-catching look and easy to read contact info. Even if it's just something basic like a small cue sheet in a paper envelope with your CD, it will stand out more than a silver CD-R with sharpie written all over it.

There's many ways to do it.. Main thing, just get your face out there, over and over again, with some good demos.. and dont talk alot of shit..

If you want a gig you have to be - persistent , good at what you do, be friendly (good at chattin people up) and lucky... Ive taken many a shit gig where by I have had to play to crowds Id rather not but I get paid pretty good and sometimes you get leads and new contacts through it so you'd be wise to try all avenues to get your foot in the door.
