ill try and keep it brief but basically renting legally in amsterdam costs a minimum of 900 euro per month for a tiny little place. thats manageable on one normal salary if you are ok with having no money all the time. if both of you have income you will still have no money but im drunk all the time and have plenty of fun. but no money. as for you getting bookings, i dont know if its just my egocentric view but the general consensus is that jump up isnt the flavor over here, its more tech, neuro, drum funk. you have to work pretty hard to get into the dj circuit but its not at all impossible. there is also social security insurance which costs something like 80-250 per month and its the law that you must have it.
