Folks, Below is a query that I posted to the SharedWeight organizers' forum on Nov. 12. Since it's been a week with no responses, I'm trying again here on the callers' forum, where I hope more people will see it (and where it seems not entirely off-topic, since some of you callers may have shared techno-contra gigs with DJs).

For example, see the callers' forum archive for June and July 2011, as well as some of the recent posts on the subject "Accounting for numbers". I have a question that I don't think I've seen discussed before. If you've organized or performed at "techno contra" events that feature a DJ instead of a band, what, in your experience, is the usual division of staff pay to DJ, caller, and sound tech? What about at "techno-live" events with both a DJ and live musicians? Thanks. --Jim
