For organizers & promoters
You bring the crowd. Get the room on your terms.
Community organizers, promoters and collectives running nights across rooms you don’t own. Book the talent, pitch the room and get paid on one set of rails — with the numbers you need to price a night before you commit to it.
Pitch a room with a page it can answer.
Ten short screens become a proposal the venue answers night by night: yes, counter or no on each date. Your lineup, your terms and the draw to beat are on the page.
Your first one is free. Then $5 to send one, or $5 a month for three. Gelatin takes no share of a night proposed here.
Several rooms, one ledger.
Programming isn’t one night, it’s a calendar. Everything sits under one account rather than scattered across a booking thread, a spreadsheet and a payment app.
- Send a structured request: date, venue, budget, set length
- The DJ accepts, declines or counters — payment follows automatically
- Residencies and recurring rooms through a partnership request
- Multiple rooms and dates on one account and one earnings ledger
- When a venue opens a slot tonight, it fans out by SMS; the first DJ to accept claims it
- Attach an MC, photographer or videographer to the same booking
Every confirmed headcount makes your next booking cheaper.
After a night you booked on Gelatin, the venue confirms how many people were in the room, and that count goes on the DJ’s verified draw record. That sounds like it only helps the DJ. It doesn’t.
A DJ whose draw you helped prove is a DJ you can book again with a number attached — and a number attached is the thing that lets you negotiate on evidence rather than reputation. It also lets you pitch a door split or a guarantee to a venue using data you generated rather than a claim you made.
The organizers who get the most out of this platform are the ones who confirm headcounts every time. It costs a minute and it builds the only asset in this industry that isn’t self-reported.
Know the room’s terms before you pitch it.
Finding a room is half the job. Finding out what it costs usually takes three messages. Soon venues can post their terms up front, so you can price a night with real numbers and pitch it on the deal the room already offers.
The bar must clear the line
Bar minimum
The organizer keeps the door. The room is free if the bar hits an agreed number.
Split by a percent you agree on
Door split
Door money is split by a percent you agree on.
One set price for the room
Flat rental
One set price for the room, no matter how the night goes. Easy to agree. The organizer takes the risk — and the upside.
A floor, then a share above it
Guarantee + split
The venue gets a set floor, plus a share of anything above it. Both sides get some safety and some upside.
