~ The Smile Police ‘DJ Getting a Gig’ Course ~

Are you a bedroom DJ or have you done a course and still haven’t had any luck in getting gigs?



Smile Police have been looking after Melbourne up an coming talent for the last 8 years and have had huge success with getting DJ’s gigs at events like Two Tribes, G.O.D, Earthcore, Pharmacy, Reason Parties, Hardware Event, Hard Kandy, 3D and of course their very own events like NRG, Happy to be Hardcore, Rebirth , NRGetic.



With such an influx of DJ’s in the last 3-4 years we have designed a course that should help you get that break you want. It’s a 8 week course, in total it will take about 20-30 hours of your time depending on how keen you are. We will show you what to do and how to go about it. We will put you in touch with the right people for where you want to go and how to go about it.



The course is run by Garth Lategan of Smile Police & Rebecca Hamblin and they loves nothing more than giving the young ones and go and seeing them up on stage doing their thing.



Course date: Starts Thursday the 20th September

Course time: Thursday 7pm-9pm every Thursday



Please note the course is limited to 8 people only so first in best dressed. Any music sytle welcome



Course Cost is $200.

Special offer If payment is made before the 30th of August 2007 $150
Or you can opt in for a payment plan of $30 a week payable each week before the course starts.


What you get for that is

Guaranteed 2 gigs

I understand that it's the 'internet' where correct spelling and punctuation is not necessary but if you're advertising a business or something remotely professional... use your spell-checker...

fwiw Smile Police have ben a big part of the Melbourne rave scene for longer than most whippersnappers have been even thinking about DJing. I dunno about the course but I'd go easy on dissing the crew 'cos they've got a fair chunk of credibility to go with what they do.

And as for the Book keeping - surely you've got a day job? It may not be as glamorous as shovelling shit or counting paperclips for a living but I'd back up on the out and out slander an bit guys. The SP crew have contributed a lot more than a bunch of aspiring DJs will in a lifetime of interweb forumming.

my comment stands. I was just having a laugh wondering what those 'industry secrets' are. Do you reckon it's stuff like Roger Sanchez wears women's underwear or more local industry secrets?
there is never malice in anything I say on here

yeah actually I agree, I retract my comment of retracting my comment....no malice, just fun and games....I am very interested in knowing these industry secrets though...and if sanchez werars crotchless or g bangers....:)

The biggest industry secret is one that has followed me from one genre to another...."its fuck all about what you know, its who you know and how you hit them up for favours"

We've all gotten a little shroomed up and done some dumb things. I'm guessing that's how this idea was born. An offer to break into the industry via a $200 course, coupled with a Nigerian money scam grasp of English, I'm sorry but it is begging to have the piss taken out of it and I would be disappointed in ITM if it didn't.

coupled with a Nigerian money scam grasp of English

My point too. Respect to the work they put in, and if anybody wants to spend $200 on industry secrets then go get em.

But if youre touting your business on a free public forum...

plus i thought that Fukny Horse gag was fucking hillarious!

the industry secret is that the account you deposit your cash into won't exist after the day you deposit it. and the money will cease to exist as well, and the course, and the promises. god it's breaking my heart. you people, you gave me hope and said i'd be a star! A STAAAAAAAAR!
