Smiley DJ Doing my first club gig. In need of help.

Hey there guys,

I was asked by a promoter to do a gig at this new 3-story club that's opening up. Unfortunately, it's going to have to be a Hip-Hop gig. I wanna try and sneak in some EDM in the middle of the set. Do any of you have any playlists that have Hip-Hop (mostly top 40 stuff) mixed in with a little EDM? This is going to be my first club I really want to make a good first impression; keep the crowd dancing constantly; being consistant with dancey tunes.

I will later try to convince the promoter to make a floor exclusively for EDM.

If the promoters want hip hop, give them hip hop. Give them what they want to make a good first impression. Experimenting with other stuff could be risky.

If you want to spin EDM, why did you agree to a hip hop gig?

It's always good to have a wide range of genre-wise DJ talent, but playing out a genre you've never even played in your bedroom before is not that good of an idea.

A little harsh.

More like, if you need to ask this shit, you aren't ready to play out.

Do many EDM DJs keep a large collection of top 40 and hip hop on hand just in case they are asked to play a hip hop/ top 40 gig? I can't imagine collecting music you have no passion for.

Like 500 kids who cream their pants at the rhythm of the latest Soulja Boy tunes will notice any trainwrecks...

But seriously, if you want to DJ don't take gigs where you'll have to play music you don't like, and don't try to "sneak" any EDM. It'll feel like shit when you're asked to change the music.
