I looked into this once, for this very purpose, to try to bring a musical act from Christchurch, NZ. There is money there.

Here's the list. Are any of your favorite DJs from these places?
* Beer Sheva, Israel

mylo and erol alkan are brilliant too, but since my list was dj's who i haven't yet seen....

Danny Tenaglia.

Or anyone else capable of playing 12+ hour sets.

Sam Kirkland (we miss him around these parts)

Giles Peterson (haven't seen him live, but his INCredible mix record is one of the best I've ever heard)

Reighley I can't believe Danny Wang has never played here. His sets are super-fun; one of the things I miss most about NYC (even after ten years). There's an achived one up here (you have to scroll down a few entries—look for that same photo as in your blog entry).

As far as the living, yeah, I would have to say Danny Tenaglia, despite the fact I don't care much for his style of music anymore, I'd still pay good money to see him. I've yet to check out Low Budget. And... I guess I'd like to see a Cocoa T DJ set.
