Re:: djs sponsored by big companies etc

isn't pvd on billboards in the uk advertising cellphones?

and colette is gonna be in the next motorola commercial.

Colette already did a motorola commercial last year and it was part of the same "Connectred" promotion PVD was part of, who also did a commercial... There was one other dj part of this whole thing but can't recall who it is anymore

pvd,colette and felix da housecat all did motorola commericals.moby has been using most of his work in tv spots for awhile now.same with the likes of fatboy slim.

Tobacco sponsorship is probably the one thing that's still a bit grey. I remember having a conversation some months ago with Sydney's leading prog promoter about this. He was paining over whether to let the Peter Stuyvesant girls have a cig booth at his club night. The money offered was quite significant. (Note: it's legal to smoke in nightclubs in Australia)

That reminds me, there were some parties in PL sponsord by Spike cigarettes. They claimed they were CLOSED parties (means invite only, but not as strict) - - there were few thousand people on each. You had to give all your details (and you needed some document with you on entrance, they had computers with database there ) including your postal address. All this just for the sake of giving peeps free cigarettes all night long. And if you didn't smoke up to that time, it was very inviting to start. Call that anti-smoking policy. Also they could spam your mailbox afterwards. Note: you had to be 18 to enter, but I don't really think THIS was checked... Oh, and teh dj were shit by the way.

Re:: djs sponsored by big companies etc

I don?t see why sponsership is needed at a normal saturday night club events. Surely they take enough cash at the door to pay the DJ and the club takes enough at the bar to pay them.

Big events (festivals) yes i can understand, but your normal weekend night?
It seems to me these big companies are just jumping on the youth bandwagon. The Dance scene has been discovered as cool and the marketing departments want to assoicate themselves with this and push their products in this cash rich youth market.

this type of corporate penetration is inevitable.....
