The
Maine Disc Jockey Network is an Association of
competitive single operator DJ companies that
was founded in December 2001 and is co-owned by
Jim Casey of djmaine.com, LLC and Mike Mahoney
of M&M Entertainment.
They agreed that the Disc Jockey industry in
Maine should raise the bar for professional
services. They felt that Maine needed to be
represented by a strong local association.
For that association to have any credibility,
brides and other prospects needed at least a
short list of minimum professional standards
that Disc Jockey companies should adhere to.
These standards include being fully insured,
licensed with the State of Maine as a business,
and never working without a contract. Also, MDJN
DJs need to be ready to be called at the last
minute in case a member is ill or is unable to
cover and event for any reason. It is a unique
backup system that does not exist with most
single-operators.
In 2007, this
network was put to the test with the unfortunate
disappearance and arrest of a non-network DJ. His problems
had a ripple effect with as many as 35 brides
having been ripped-off and all of the weddings
were in need of
last minute DJ Entertainment. MDJN stepped up to the
challenge and essentially did all we could could
to assist those in need by discounting our
services or finding Entertainment for them
outside of the MDJN.
DJs that are part of the Network are given many
benefits including awesome search engine
placement, sharing of ideas and concepts with
one another, and the annual Maine Disc Jockey
network mini-convention which took place in
March at the Hilton Garden Inn in Freeport.
It has been eight years since three determined
DJs met at Windham Town Hall to discuss the
possibilities and why we needed to have such a
network. With nine strong Full and Part-Time
companies and recent events, we now understand
what the network is truly all about.
