Do you have the requisite skillz, but still struggle to land enough gigs in order to pay your mounting billz? Perhaps you'd do well to apply for a DJ Sponsorship Package from Hercules.

The application process is fairly straightforward. Simply create a user account on the Hercules DJ Mix Room website (FYI: the nickname "DJ ParryParryThrustGood" is taken -- by yours truly). Once you activate your account, you'll have access to the application page, wherein you can submit up to three URLs directing Hercules to samples of your music / performance wherever they may exist online. There's also a space to submit a short personal statement that should answer the question "Why should we choose you to become a member of the HERCULES DJ MIX ROOM community?"

If you happen to be selected for a Hercules DJ Sponsorship, you'll be treated with:

• One or more DJ Console RMX for free and / or other Hercules DJing products for DJs that work in pairs or have a small company with a few DJs
• Hercules branded hats, t-shirts, posters and stickers for DJ gear
• Appearance / inclusion in the "Hercules DJ team" section of the Hercules DJ Mix room website
• VIP Member page with DJ profile on the Hercules DJ Mix Room
• Financial support and assistance in planning from Hercules at events / gigs where the DJ uses Hercules DJ Console RMX and / or other Hercules DJing products such as the DJ Console MK2
• Performance videos of the DJ using Hercules product will be visible on the Hercules DJ Mix room website
• The DJ endorsement will be mentioned in Hercules DJing ads and possibly on stickers placed on the outside of product boxes

If you're interested, and think you're ready to take your set to the public at large, check out the DJ Mix Room website, or contact the Hercules Artist rep directly at brianfishman@maxborgesagency.com (or call 1.305.576.1171 ext. 19). Good luck! Break an armature!
