Get booked for free.Look like a brand.Run the night like a pro.
One product, three levels. Start on Free and run your whole booking life without paying anything. Step up when the booking needs a contract and the enquiries need a pipeline — or when a produced night needs running properly.
Every enquiry, every gig, one calendar, a public booking page. The whole job, at no cost.
Contracts your clients sign, leads in a pipeline, consultations booked — and your own brand on all of it.
Intake, run sheets, crew, MC scripts and a live day-of console the client signs off on.
Your entire booking life,
at zero dollars.
This isn't a teaser tier. Free is the working product: every enquiry lands in one inbox, every gig sits in one list, your availability lives in one calendar, and you have a public page that takes bookings. Play four gigs a month or forty — you never have to pay.
What Free doesn't do — straight up
Everything above stays free forever. These are the things you'll eventually want, and they're the only reasons to pay us:
- Your page is Kadens-branded at getkadens.com/dj/yourhandle — our look, not yours.
- No own logo, accent colour or wording — the page wears our look, not yours.
- Your page look is picked for you from your DJ type — you can't switch it yourself.
- Every share card is yours, but they come out plain: our violet, our mark, no imagery, and a “powered by kadens” line. No press kit.
- Standard listing in the booker pool, not the enhanced one.
- Two manually-added gig records. Bookings that come through Kadens are ungated, and away blocks are unlimited.
- No run sheets, crew or day-of console — that's Pro DJ.
A page that fits the work you do.
Most DJs send people to a list of links and hope. Your Kadens page is a booking page: it answers the three questions a client actually has — are you free, what do you cost, are you any good — and then takes the enquiry, structured, straight into your inbox. And it isn't one template for everybody: a club page and a wedding page are selling different things to different people, so they're drawn differently.

OPEN
Three looks — Booth, Atelier, Marquee
Booth is built for club and warehouse work: dark, hard-edged, set times up front. Atelier is for weddings and corporates — warm, quiet, sentence case, and it asks “check my date” instead of “request a booking”. Marquee is for the DJ with nothing uploaded yet: your name, huge, on black. Kadens picks the one that matches your work; Working DJ lets you switch it.
Your rate, up front
A from-rate filters out the enquiries that were never going to pay. The people who get in touch already know your floor.
One action, not a contact form
“Request a booking” collects the date, event type, venue and budget in a structured enquiry — so it lands in your inbox ready to accept, counter or decline.
Live availability from your real calendar
Open nights show as open because your calendar says so. Nobody asks you about a date you're already playing.
Your mixes, in the page
SoundCloud, Mixcloud, Instagram — the proof of what you sound like sits above the fold, not three taps away on someone else's app.
Verified reviews, a QR, and a saveable contact
Only a client or booker you actually played for can leave a verified review. The QR at the bottom goes on a poster, the booth, or a business card. And “Save contact” hands over a proper vCard — your name, your title, your business email and a link straight back to this page — so you end up in their phone under the right name instead of “dj?? sat”. It sits under the booking button, never over it: someone ready to book shouldn't be offered a filing option instead.
From your Instagram bio
to a booking you can accept.
This is the whole marketing funnel a working DJ actually has. Four steps, no website, no back-and-forth — and it runs while you're asleep or on the decks.
Your bio link
One link in your Instagram, TikTok and email signature. Your handle, not a random URL.

They tap it
No app to install, no login. A promoter, a bride's mum, a bar manager — anyone can use it.
The page does the selling
Rate, open dates, mixes and verified reviews — then one button that starts a real enquiry.
It lands as a gig
Structured enquiry in your inbox with date, type, venue and budget attached. Accept, counter or decline.
Free tier, end to end. The only thing missing is your name on it.
Same booking engine.
Now it runs your business.
Working DJ is the business tier. Everything from Free keeps working exactly as it did — and then the contract goes out from your own template and comes back signed, every enquiry sits on a pipeline board with stages and follow-ups, consultations land in your calendar, and the page, the cards and the press kit start carrying your name instead of ours. This is the difference between “a DJ on a platform” and “a DJ with a business”.

Paying makes it look like you made it.
Every card kind is free — the week card, the book-me card, the single-gig promo, the rate card. All four are generated from the gigs actually in your calendar, sized for Stories or the feed, with a QR back to your page. What Working DJ changes isn't how many cards you get; it's what they look like. Free cards are deliberately plain: our violet, our mark, a “powered by kadens” line you can't turn off. Paid cards go image-first — your artwork or your photo full-bleed, your accent colour, your logo on the lockup.

Single-gig promo — the confirmed gig, in three formats, light or dark, ready to post.
The roster dividend
Get rostered on a night that runs on Kadens and that gig's card comes out with the poster treatment even on Free — the promoter's artwork full-bleed, their colour, their name on the lockup. You do nothing: publish is on their side, and the card is already waiting on your gig page. It's one card, for that night, for as long as the artwork is up.
An enhanced pool listing
Every DJ who's open for work appears when a booker searches the pool. Working DJ gets the enhanced listing — your photo on the entry and a Book button straight to your page.
A press kit that never goes stale
One dataset, two faces: the public page, and a full kit with HD photos, venues played, stats and featured reviews. Release it to a booker on request, revoke it later, export it as a branded PDF.
Page analytics Coming soon
Views, link taps and enquiry conversion on your public page. It isn't shipped yet — when it lands it's part of Working DJ at no extra cost.
The night, run properly.
Not from a Word doc.
Most gigs don't need this. A wedding, a corporate, a produced night does — and those are the gigs that pay two to five times a club fee. Right now they're run off a document emailed at midnight, a group chat, and your memory. Day-Of Operations is the three-part answer: build it, run it, wrap it.
They answer once. You build against it.
The client fills in an intake link — no account, no app. Songs, must-plays, do-not-plays, names and pronunciations, timings. You turn their answers into a run sheet segment by segment, and send it for approval. If they edit something afterwards, Kadens flags exactly which moment it affects. Nothing changes under you.
- Intake, structured. One link, filled in once, months before the night.
- Run sheet with frozen copies. What you built against can't be silently rewritten.
- Client approval on the record. A locked version both sides signed off.
A live console, not a printout.
The run sheet becomes a timeline you advance with the spacebar. Current moment, next moment, cue notes, music prompts. Hold the floor when the speeches run long, broadcast the change to your MC and second DJ, and require an acknowledgement so you know they saw it. It works offline and reconciles when signal comes back — venue Wi-Fi is not a dependency, and conflicts are resolved explicitly, never silently.
- Advance, hold, override. Big targets, dark screen, one hand, in a dark booth.
- Crew in sync. Broadcast with required ack — “speeches running 5 late, hold first dance”.
- Offline-first. Queued locally, synced after, with conflicts surfaced for you to choose.
Wrap it while it's still worth something.
The night ends and the value usually evaporates. Kadens closes the loop: send the feedback form, collect a verified review that only this client could leave, and export the set — in run-sheet order — to Rekordbox or Serato, with your moment notes attached to each track. Next wedding starts from something, not from nothing.
If you MC as well as play,
the night has two scripts.
The DJ needs cues and track notes. The MC needs words, names, pronunciations and the moment to say them. Same run sheet, two views — so the music and the microphone stop guessing at each other.
DJ cues / MC script toggle
One tap flips the same timeline between the cue sheet you mix from and the script you speak from. Nobody works off a different version of the night.
Names, said right
Pronunciations, titles and family notes come straight from client intake and sit on the moment they're needed — not on page four of an email.
Script timing that moves
Speeches run long. Hold the floor and every following moment shifts, on both views at once, with an ack from the MC so you know it landed.
Working solo or with a crew
MCing your own night? Run both views yourself. Bringing an MC or second DJ? Invite them with a role — they see their view, live, offline-safe.
The reason you get rebooked
isn't the mix. It's this.
Your clients are comparing you to DJs who send a PDF and go quiet for eight months. What they get from you is a link they fill in once, a run sheet they can read, and a button that says approved. It costs you nothing extra — it's the same run sheet you were building anyway.
Your reception, ready for approval
No account needed. If you change something later, Mara is told exactly which moment it affects.
- One link, no login. Clients hate accounts. They never need one.
- They see a night, not a spreadsheet. Times, moments, songs — readable on a phone in a lunch break.
- Approval is a record. What they approved is what you play, and both of you can point at it.
- Changes are visible, not silent. A late edit flags the exact moment it hits.
A PDF and eight months of silence
- A Word doc or PDF, emailed once, out of date within a week
- Song requests scattered across email, DMs and a phone call
- “Did you get my message about the entrance song?”
- Nobody knows which version is the real one on the day
- The MC finds out about the change at the microphone
A run sheet they approved, and a night that follows it
- One intake link, filled in once, months ahead
- Every answer visible on the moment it affects
- A readable run sheet with an approve button
- A locked, approved version that can't drift
- Crew told and acknowledged when the night moves
The three things DJs say back to us.
“I only play clubs. Pro isn’t for me.”
Correct — and we're not going to sell it to you. Clubs and mobile gigs live on Free and Working DJ: enquiry, calendar, page, cards, done. A club slot stays a light record — date, venue, time, fee, confirm or decline — and never drags you into event machinery. Pro exists for the day a wedding or corporate lands. Turn it on that month, turn it off after. It's not a ladder you have to climb.
“$25 a month is a lot when I play four gigs.”
Then stay on Free — genuinely, indefinitely, that's the design. Working DJ is worth it the month it wins you one extra booking, and it's aimed at the DJ who's already posting their week and handing out their link. If a month is quiet, drop back to Free; your page, your bookings and your reviews all stay exactly where they are. Prices live on the pricing page.
“I’ve already got a Linktree and a spreadsheet.”
A Linktree sends people somewhere else to contact you, and a spreadsheet doesn't know your calendar. Kadens is one thing: the page takes a structured enquiry — date, type, venue, budget — your calendar answers “are you free” before anyone asks, and the gig, the client and the reviews live in the same record. You keep the Linktree if you want; the booking link just points here.
What sits on each level.
Every tier keeps everything below it. Move up or down any month — nothing you've built is held hostage.

One wedding to run and no subscription? There's a single-event option. Running several DJs? There's an agency seat. All of it, with prices, on the pricing page.
Straight answers.
Is Free actually free, or free for now?
Free forever, and it's the working product — inbox, calendar, bookings list, public page, ratings and reviews. There's no trial clock and no card. We make money when you want your own brand on the front of it, or when a produced night needs running.
What happens to my page if I stop paying for Working DJ?
It reverts to the Kadens-branded version at your handle and keeps working. Your bookings, reviews, calendar and enquiry history are untouched.
Can I turn Pro on for one month?
Yes — that's the intended use for most DJs. Turn it on for the month with the wedding in it, run the night, turn it off. There's also a single-event option if you'd rather not subscribe at all. Past events stay readable either way.
Do I need Pro to do weddings at all?
No. You can book and play a wedding on Free. Pro is for running one — structured intake, a run sheet the client approves, crew and MC coordination, and the live console on the night. If you do two weddings a year you may not need it; if you do two a month it’s the whole job.
Where does the MC fit?
Inside Pro. The same run sheet has a DJ cue view and an MC script view — names, pronunciations, and the words for each moment. Run both yourself, or invite an MC with their own role and view.
What if the venue Wi-Fi dies?
The day-of console is offline-first. Cues, holds and crew messages queue locally and reconcile when you’re back on signal, and any conflict is surfaced for you to resolve — never merged silently behind you.
I run a night as well as playing. Do I pay twice?
No. Rostering DJs for your own night is free, indefinitely — switch it on in settings and the booker workspace appears. It's an activation, not a purchase.
Start on free.
Stay as long as you like.
No card. Nothing expires. Built by a working DJ.
