The agreement has been achieved after a constant claim of the AEDYP (Spanish Association of DJs and Electronic Music Producers), whose vice-president points out in a press release that “this is excellent news, which opens the way for full recognition of the DJ as a leading stage artist”.
It is a resolution of the General Directorate of Labor of the Government of Spain which is published in State Collective Agreement for Personnel in Dance Halls, Discotheques, Leisure Venues and Shows in Spain.
