how do you guys feel about playing remixed pop songs in your set?
as long as the remix is wicked, do you play it? or do you think playing pop remixes/bootlegs...is cheesey??

Well depends on the remix, I'll quite happily drop either Vengaboys - Kiss (Airscape Mix) or Madonna - What It Feels Like For A Girl (Above & Beyond Mix), screw who its done by, if a track is good, then its good, regardless of if its some pop trash shit.

also depends where you are playing, feel the crowd. If you are somewhere that likes more poppy stuff, playing dope remixes of pop songs can sometimes please the crowd and yourself as a dj at the same time. And like Danny O said, if the song is good, play it. I have remixes of Britney, Madonna, Christina, etc. on vinyl that are good tracks w/ or w/o the vocals.

As Danny said.....if its good its good. Nuff said

Most underage crowds love all the pop n hip-hop stuff

spin what you like man. although its important to play to the crowd

so long as it is good, and you think the crowd will dig it, then it doesn't matter about anything else.

Vengaboys - Kiss (Airscape remix) kicks serious ass. No shame in dropping it.

if you're playing a set at a club and nobody is paying attention playing top 40 remixes is what just about what every DJ does... I have a cd with top 40 Trance vocal samples (i.e ATB's Long Way Home) run throuh an FX processor but I think that playing the same stupid crap on T.V and the Radio is wasting everyone's time and is a disgrace to everything that House Music stands forIf you want get their attention drop some fat basslines but thats just me ....

Well, it has been said before: either play it because the crowd wants it, or because it's good.

Not at all. I play Britney Spears - Everytime (Above & Beyond Remix) and Dido - Sand in my Shoes (Above & Beyond UV Remix). Both mixes rock.

Britney Spears- Breathe On Me (Holden Vocal Mix) has been on my list lately. Lovin' the track and people seem to respond to it well.
