OT: DJ Compilations for sale?

[jloor]

I'm a DJ and I put compilations together for when I mix club parties...

These compilations usually take a couple of days to make, if not weeks.

Its all house, trance mixes, hard NYC traxx

My question is, I put a lot of time into this collection as a DJ

Can I sell copies of my compilations, since I DJ? These are not mearly dupes from shelf cds... these are scouted songs.

Wanted to get the opinions of the community and the mods.

[3 years - Almost 80 CDs]

You wrote about hard NYC traxx. Well there's DJ's that sell their CDs on the streets in Manhattan so I don't really see why you wouldn't be able to do the same, like sell compilations for around $10 per cd. Copyright infringement stuff can get in the way though. I say you pop down to a small cozy music store in the city and ask, the people in these stores are really knowledgeable and damn cool. Gotta love nyc

btw, are you just mixing or remixing as well? i think distribution has a lot to do with which one of these you are doing, but then again i could be completly wrong

They are raw mixes which I use to mix live at a party.

Do you guys think my time in putting these compilations together as a DJ justifies me trying to sell them?

one compilation goes through a review of over ~70 songs before the final 8-12 songs are picked.

[yes, there are that many club, house, trance songs in about a 3 - 4 week period!]
