After running shows at warehouses, hotel rooftops, Brooklyn lofts, and purpose-built nightclubs, the evaluation criteria have crystallized into a checklist that filters out bad deals before they cost you money. + +## Sound system + +The sound system is non-negotiable. A Funktion One setup costs around $2,500 including CDJs and mixers. If the venue doesn’t have a proper system, you’re renting one, and that cost comes off the top of your margin before anything else. + +Check what’s venue-provided versus what you bring. The equipment progression tells the story: starting with an XDJ-RX3 in 2024, graduating to venue-provided CDJ3000s and DJM-V10 mixers. If the venue has CDJs and a proper mixer, that’s thousands saved per event. If they don’t, factor rental at $425-500 for a full CDJ3000 setup. + +Separate the sound evaluation by room. Lounges and secondary rooms need melodic DJs, not heavy bass. We learned this when Eris complained about DJs red-lining the champagne lounge speakers. Match the programming to the system, not the other way around. + +## Capacity and configuration + +Capacity determines your entire financial model. At 120-cap rooms like Bushwick Public House ($120/night, no equipment), the economics are tight — you need near-full attendance just to cover DJs. At 650-cap rooms like H0l0, you need 300+ to justify the $3,000 room fee and $7,500 bar minimum, but the upside is substantial. + +Multi-room venues offer a specific advantage: genre separation serves different revenue streams. Hard music upstairs for the purists, open format downstairs for the drinking crowd. Eris has 3 stages with a 300 max cap. Silo can run 250 on the main floor or 650 for the full venue. Each configuration changes the P&L. +Diff truncated (58 lines total). View full commit on GitHub →
