#Moving to Asia!!

Huge can of worms...Club DJ is he a 'name' in which case look at Singapore first, expensive but they have a 'Club Culture' and you will have a much better chance of picking up work.
One way around the expense of living/working in Singapore is to live in Johor Bahru, Malaysia and commute to Singapore.
Indonesia forget it, everyone and their monkey is a 'DJ' and there is no way a club is going to pay for a foreign import plus work permit etc. when they can get a local to 'mime' to Digweed/Sachet mix tapes for the cost of a Pepsi, and you would not have a hope in hell of getting a job as a 'following spouse'
Having said that, opportunities do come up on Bali now and then, but I am out of touch with the club scene there.
Malaysia I have no idea of the current situation.
Thailand, overloaded with foreign DJ's living 'the dream'
If you can afford it take a 'backpackers' holiday and visit Singapore first, there is good, cheap, clean accommodation there, the usual clientelle should be a good source of information. Use Singapore as a base and look around, the Likes of Air Asia and Tiger Air have cheap flights all over SE Asia.
Good Luck

I'm one of the monkey DJs.
Absolutely no hope of well paid work out here but you will get guest presenter spots on Indonesian radio, unpaid or they'll buy you lunch.
I did a lot when I was in Central Java but only for fun as there's isn't a penny in it.

well no positive feed back on that. I guess we are just going to have to think about something else. We are going to school here maybe just going to wait to finish our AA Thank you for the response.
