dj choc,
you will find it much easier getting gigs in bangkok, just walk up to clubs and ask if you can spin , if your not concerned about money and just wanna drop some tracks then tell them you will do it for free and you don't want money, I did the same thing on kho san road and got mad gigs in a weeks span. Some gave me a ton of free alcohol and took me and my boy out all night afterwords, others had me paying for drinks.
Yeah you run the risk of getting deported or possible paying off the cops with from what i heard would be around 20,000 baht give or take, that's about 700 american. Not small change.
Also bringing vinyl on your vacation, not fun........
I would suggest dubbing vinyl to cd , that's what I did as you will find most spots use cd deks.
Hiphop isn't that poular in phuket most clubs gear towards the electronic music, house techno, its here and there but too be honest its about the most cookie cutter commercialist "hiphop" you'll hear. Well I have heard dre once or twice.
someone open a hiphop bar already
