China Needs DJs (not a joke, for real)

I got this from a friend of mine who's one of the biggest hip-hop promoters in China. It might be an interesting opportunity for DJs looking to get a lot of road experience and/or soak in China for 3-6 months. NOTE: this will not be like touring Japan. China's a pretty unique place right now, especially for hip-hop but don't let your fantasies go amok about hot Ziyi Zhang chicks in every city and the swankiest in accomodations. You'll be on a grind - hopefully a fun and illuminating one, but shit ain't cush. Anyways, here's the call:Wanted to know if you knew any DJs that would be interested and able to just drop everything and move to China for 3-6months.I've wrapping up a 57 city tour throughout China, and we're looking to do another one in late February 2006.I'm interested in bringing over DJs, put them on tour during the weekend and on the weekdays have a couple residencies or book them out for events.It's a crazy time for hip hop in China.Please let me know your thoughts.ShowtymeDana Tiago Burton Showtyme Entertainment (Shanghai)

i would think you could get away with a few hundred records. like 150-300. really. different events around an area are going to bring different clientele just like here in the states if you were to go on a djing run from here to texas. if you get bored with some shit just ship it back and have someone pull you some new shit...
Too much trouble to do that and with customs the way it is today your records may come up missing. Fuck that.
But how many if one wanted to "keep it real"?
(I'd prefer to keep it relative mode)
awww who cares! this is an adventure man... fuck it! its only vinyl and probably you could get away with a bunch of bullshit too that isnt rare. you can probably rock reissues or some cameron paul 12" remixes. telling you... someone should do this. what a great opportunity.
i wouldnt think twice about this shit if i were a little younger, not married, and had djing skills. yall gotta live a little and get out from your surroundings.
dude... get the gig and ill give you records and funnel new shit to you on a biweekly basis. freal id be down to support you vinyl-wise if you get the gig.
This is what I need to find out. Maybe I can get a bunch of dollarbin commons and DJ out there. I'd might be down for that.
You been to China lately, doggie? Because ain't NO problem w/ Chinese customs, you walk right through a gate and the watch you come in. It's coming back to USA where you get shit on.
That said, whoever has the skills should GO GO GO GO, I can vouch for Hanzhou and Shanghai night life. Do that shit!
Give me an idea of what they like to get down to out there.
check pms.
Because American companies can make a lot of money from investment and business with China.
cuba = communist
china = "communist"
Not to mention the stubborn pride of the US. Castro, being a communist leade,r that can't be stooped, 90miles from American soil, is like a thumb in the eye of the imperialist dogs we call our leaders, and I love him for that.
