Commercial Club Restrictions On Music?

The big dj here spins at a commercial club you know for lil tennie boppers go to meet other teenie boppers. The guys spins complete crap and i always go to the record store and we live in the same town and there plenty of great tunes and i wonder why he doest spin good tunes when theyre openly available. Then my friend says to me theat he cant play this kind of stuff you have to play commercial cheese thats how commercial clubs work. They dictate to you what style and even as to so far as to certain records you have to spin. I was just wondering is this true?

It depends on what the club owner feels is right for the club you The tennie boppers that go to meet other teenie boppers will stop drinking and get off the dancefloor of they get mascared by music that's to "techno"'ish for their cheesy underdeveloped taste

I personally know a DJ that worked in a "commercial club" who got fired because he slammed hardtrance. It really killed the dancefloor because the audience wasn't really ready for his music..

My friends and I enjoyed it though

depending on the club they might...but the DJ is also getting paid to make people dance, not to play the newest trance hits in holland. The fact is, people want to hear and dance to cheesier, commercial stuff here in the USA, and if people at the club start complaining, the DJ's out of a job.

hahahaha... that would be totally awesome to just get a job at some club... they're playing some commercial shit and then you hear "FIRE.... WIRE...." and it's like "boom boom boom boom" lol.

yeah. I'd like to do that one day, but i probably won't ever get the chance to.

You are right about that, There are some Clubs in Miami that would only allow comercial dance music playing on them, Some of the Party 93.1 DJs who spin at these clubs are forbidden from playing any of there underground stuff cause the crowds over there arent used to hearing the harder or deeper stuff, I think it sucks that a club like those stick to new lows by playing the crappiest of dance music on the planet, When Markus was playing at Opium Garden two weeks ago, I couldnt play his underground stuff, he had to play a lot progressive house tunes that fit the comercial type of sound, but a lot of good ones at that though.

I'm glad I haven't run into that issue here in San Francisco.

Only big issues is that other than the occasional big event at its own venue, all the big DJs play at the pretty much the same club - 1015 Folsom, which has a pretty crappy sound system, and is known for it.

Ferry Corsten plays there tonight, actually, as he is making his way back home from his sessions in Japan, but I'm not going (sick).

you should be more specific in talking about what hes spinning.. this thread is useless otherwise

last time i checked "tennie bopper shit" wasnt a genre
