This paper analyses the case study of the work of DJs and Party Promoters in the nightly entertainment market in the city of Săo Paulo. Both are occupations based on short-term projects and located under the discursive arena of cultural entrepreneurship, where the negative aspects of intermittence and informality appear naturalised and counterbalanced with the statements of artistic and decision-making independence. The interviews with DJs and Party Promoters provided data for comparing different perceptions of traditional concepts, such as autonomy, subordination, formality and informality.
