Throwing a rooftop birthday. Opening a restaurant night. Doing a pop-up in a city you don't know. Circuit connects you with the right performer — real contract, real reviews, no chasing anyone over DM.

The Problem

Booking is broken
for everyone.

Whether you need a DJ for your birthday or a steady stream of gigs — the process hasn't changed in 20 years. It's Instagram DMs and crossed fingers.

"I wanted a DJ for my rooftop birthday. Two weeks of Instagram DMs. One ghosted me the week before. Found someone through a friend of a friend. No contract, no deposit, just vibes."
Private event host, Brooklyn
"Canceled at 9:40 PM the night before. Thousands spent on the event. No protection, no recourse, no backup. The platform took its cut and disappeared."
Event host on GigSalad / Sitejabber 2024
01

No Starting Point

If you don't already know a performer, you're going to Instagram, Reddit, or asking friends. There's no reliable place to find and compare local talent.

02

Zero Protection

No contracts. No escrow. If someone cancels the night before your event, you have no recourse and no time to find a backup.

03

Trust From Nowhere

Reviews live on the performer's own page. Rates are unclear. You're making a $500 decision based on follower count and vibes.

How It Works

Discovery to done.

Four steps. No back-and-forth.

01

Browse

Filter by type, vibe, genre, and neighbourhood. Watch reels. Read verified reviews from real bookings only.

02

Check Availability

Live calendars. See who's free on your date before you reach out. No back-and-forth to start.

03

Book Securely

Digital contract auto-generated. Payment held in escrow until the night goes off. Both sides protected.

04

Done

Performer shows up, delivers, gets paid automatically. Both sides leave a verified review. Simple.

Who It's For

Both sides of
every booking.

Why Circuit

Built for people who
actually need this.

Not for the major club with a booking manager on staff. For everyone else.

Trust

Escrow + Contracts

Secure payments held in escrow. Auto-generated digital contracts. Verified reviews from real bookings only.

Availability

Real-Time Calendars

Live availability. See who's free on your date before you reach out. No back-and-forth to get started.

Profiles

Your Brand, Your Way

Video reels, mood tags, crowd preferences, booking history. Not just a name and a rate.

Pricing

Fully Transparent

No hidden fees. What you see is what you pay. What you quote is what you earn.

Context

Works Anywhere

Visiting NYC for a pop-up? Planning something in a neighbourhood you don't know? Circuit works for out-of-towners exactly the same as locals.

Protection

Cancellation Coverage

Last-minute cancellation? You're protected. Deposits held in escrow. No more scrambling the night before.

Feed

Performers book through Circuit, fans and hosts discover what's happening. The more bookings on the platform, the richer the feed.

Gear

Rent equipment from verified members. Earn passive income from gear sitting idle between gigs.

Coming soon
Gear Rental Coming Soon

Rent when you need it.
Earn when you don't.

Peer-to-peer equipment rental. A broken CDJ shouldn't cancel a gig. A $4K mixer sitting idle is money left on the table.

Need gear?

Equipment breaks. Bags get lost. Gigs get added last minute. Find verified gear near you, available for the exact day you need it.

  • Search by type, location, and date
  • Every listing from a verified Circuit member
  • Damage deposit held in escrow
  • Same-day and next-day availability
  • Filter by neighbourhood

Have gear?

Your top-of-the-line setup earns money when it's not on stage. List your equipment, set your price, let verified performers rent it.

  • Set your own daily rate
  • Damage deposit collected upfront via escrow
  • Renters are verified Circuit members only
  • You control availability and block-off dates
  • Passive income from gear you already own
