Disc Jockey Agencies : The disc jockey agencies have many disc jockeys on their books with studio equipment predominantly owned by the agency.
Or they may be having some contracts with other DJs also.
But choosing a DJ through them can be a risky affair as the quality may vary from company to company, and within the company, amongst individuals.
Some may be very good but some of their DJ staff they may not have been even heard or seen for months, so they can be short of good quality.
Moreover, some of these employees are poorly paid so they find it very hard to maintain a class as they try to cut on the cost of their music collection.
Some, in an effort to cut costs, will even resort to illegally copying music onto tapes, compact discs or mini discs.
This being the case, they find it hard to keep motivated and interested enough to deliver a superior level of attention, service and entertainment.
Some of the agencies have also been known to have music software and can forward you a list of songs but again it depends upon the DJ.
If unfortunately you get a wrong selection then you are left at the mercy of a Disc Joker instead of a Disc Jockey.
