Kids Rave is not a talent factory, not a traditional booking agency, and not a platform that aims to turn children into mini-superstars as quickly as possible.

Kids Rave is an international community for young DJs, their families and people who love electronic music and want to give children the chance to discover their own path.

For us, it’s all about experiences, friendships, music, travel, personal development and memories – not about pressure, reach or a career at any cost.

We create opportunities for young DJs from different countries.

Some are performing in front of an audience for the first time, whilst others have already played at major festivals. It makes no difference to us.

At Kids Rave, it all starts with enthusiasm.

Our kids get the chance to try their hand at it, learn from one another, perform together and be part of an international community.

Big stages and well-known events aren’t our goal.

They’re opportunities.

Kids Rave is not a talent factory.

We don’t want to commercialise children, push them into careers, or decide who is destined to ‘make it big’.

That’s why you won’t automatically find the usual names here – those known for having millions of followers, being represented by the biggest agencies, or holding various titles and awards.

We don’t mean this in a nasty or negative way.

We’re simply taking a different approach.

There are many different ways of working in the music industry. Some of them fit perfectly with other concepts – they just don’t correspond to what we understand as a traditional community.

For us, community means that it isn’t reach, connections or fame that determine who belongs.

It’s about growing together, supporting one another and sharing opportunities.

Not everyone has to be the next superstar.

Not everyone has to play every weekend.

Not everyone needs millions of views.

A child is simply allowed to love music.

Cohesion and loyalty are important values for us.

That doesn’t mean that anyone has to commit to Kids Rave.

We don’t draw up restrictive contracts, nor do we enter into traditional contracts with our kids or their families.

We reach mutual agreements.

And we expect these agreements to be respected just as we respect the families’ decisions and wishes.

If Kids Rave arranges a gig or puts someone in touch with a contact, it should go without saying that any further bookings arising from this should not simply be organised without Kids Rave’s involvement.

This isn’t about control.

It’s about fairness.

Of course, it can happen that people develop different ideas and go their separate ways.

But one thing is particularly important to us:

We never part ways with the children.

Children are not to blame if adults have differing views or if conflicts arise.

A child should never be made to feel that they are suddenly no longer welcome simply because adults have been unable to reach an agreement.

That is why we always offer the option of coming back.

The simple answer is:

No.

Anyone who wants to market their child first and foremost and sends them out to earn money is taking a different approach to ours.

We believe that money should not be a child’s motivation.

Because as soon as the next performance is judged by how much it brings in, the actual motivation changes very quickly.

For us, a performance should first and foremost be an experience – not a bill.

Everything Kids Rave earns goes back into the community.

Travel, hotels, food and drink, transport costs, airport transfers and other expenses can quickly add up to several hundred or even over a thousand euros for a single weekend.

Nevertheless, we make a conscious effort to invite kids from abroad as well.

Because for us, an international community shouldn’t just look good on a flyer.

It should actually be a living reality.

We also want to give children from other countries opportunities – regardless of whether their families can easily afford to pay for each trip themselves.

It’s about fairness.

Of course, there may come a time when a young artist has reached a stage where they are paid proper fees for performances.

In that case, our position is clear:

If this money belongs to the child, it should remain the child’s.

In our view, a sensible approach would be for the parents to set such earnings aside in a separate account in the child’s name and pay them out later, for example when the child reaches the age of majority.

Kids Rave isn’t meant to be a concept that loses children simply because they’re getting older.

That’s why we’re currently working on a clear structure:

  • Kids Rave – up to 14 years old
  • Future Beats – up to 16 years old
  • The Next Lot – up to 18 years old
  • 18 and over – opportunity for referral to an affiliated agency

We do not demonise agencies.

On the contrary: from a certain point onwards, professional agency structures can be useful and important.

We simply believe that children should not be pushed into systems at an early age that were actually set up for adult artists.

Adult events, late hours, certain venues, travel times and legal requirements do not work in the same way for minors as they do for adults.

Not every agency automatically has the experience or overview of the framework conditions that apply to children and young people.

The question of where a hobby ends and work begins is also much more sensitive when it comes to minors.

That is precisely why we believe that young DJs first need a structure that understands the reality of their lives.

Kids Rave is deliberately designed as a concept and a community, rather than as a platform for a single child DJ.

We don’t want to focus the hype on just one child.

Today, one child might be given a great opportunity.

At the next event, it might be another.

Some develop more quickly, others more slowly.

Some might want to pursue a professional career later on.

Others might not.

Both are perfectly fine.

We believe in respect.

In community.

In responsibility.

In parents who know their children and decide together with them what is right.

In children who are listened to.

In opportunities without pressure.

And in a scene where it’s not just how well-known someone already is that counts.

It never ceases to amaze me how quickly questions about pressure, career prospects or stress arise when it comes to young DJs.

A young football prospect might train three times a week, play in tournaments and easily spend 30 or 40 hours a month doing so.

Young actors spend days on set.

Singers rehearse and perform.

Children involved in competitive dance train several times a week.

This is usually seen as nurturing talent, a hobby or a passion.

When, on the other hand, a young DJ takes to the stage for an hour once a month, people suddenly start asking whether that’s even appropriate for a child.

Perhaps, therefore, the crucial question shouldn’t be:

What is the child doing?

But rather:

How is it being handled?

Is the child enjoying themselves?

Do they want to be there of their own accord?

Can they say ‘no’ at any time?

Is there enough time left for school, friends, family and other interests?

Are they supported – or put under pressure?

We should all take a moment to think about this.
