Originally posted by BTG Well, the problem with that was that I was the only DJ, so i couldn't just say "If they dont like it, i'll stand down" But i did it anyways, and was generally well accepted by 'the crowed' of about 40 people (others didn't like it, or weren't in the room) Instead of selling out, i played tracks that are easy to enjoy when you're drunk. I didn't play alot of trance, cause there was a lack of that audience. but my tracklist (all on CDR): 1. Dave Gahan - Dirty Sticky Floors (Junkie xl vocal) 2. Kaylab - Do not attempt 3. Gabriel & Dresden - Acid Elliot - > then they started to listen 4. Tomcraft - Loneliness (Klub Mix) 5. Andain - Summer Calling (Gabriel & Dresden remix) 6. Kamaya Painters - Wasteland 7. Scot Project - Future is now 8. Marco V - Godd then i got pesterd by a few people for some gino beats (which i refused to play, so i settled for a few 'cheesy but good' songs: 9. Altitude - Altitude (S.H.O.K.K. remix) 10.Conjure One - Tears from the Moon (Tiesto remix) 11.Gouryella - Ligaya (Green Court remix) -got bored, so i started playing quality again: 12.Romanthonys NightVision - Never Fuck (Pvd Casino Mix) 13.Mass Effect - Plasma 14.Darude - Serindepidy 15.DreamCatcher - I dont wana lose my way (Magik muzik mix) by then i was too tired and they wanted to hear 50 Cent so i was like fuck it. took a bow, then had a few drinks it was recorded too. i'm getting it later.

50 cent, lol. dont those people know u cant match a fuking 50cent witha fuking darude beat, wat idiots they were. i cant belive wats happening in brampton these days.

me neither. if anything, that song is not cheesy.

then again, he said he didn't play a lot of trance, and that all looks like trance to me!

oh well, he has good taste in music anyway, and i've never played a club. then again, that's probably stolen music on the CDRs, i doubt he ripped them from his own vinly.

correct.

4. Tomcraft - Loneliness (Klub Mix)
5. Andain - Summer Calling (Gabriel & Dresden remix)
6. Kamaya Painters - Wasteland
8. Marco V - Godd
9. Altitude - Altitude (S.H.O.K.K. remix)
10.Conjure One - Tears from the Moon (Tiesto remix)
11.Gouryella - Ligaya (Green Court remix)

those are all pretty much trance i would say.. Tears from the moon could be called progressive trance, and maybe the Marco V could be called hard trance..

don't know the rest of the songs off the top of my head.

But, genre shmenre, as i like to say. nice tracklist, i'd like to hear the mix.

Not this mix! i dont know if it was labled wrong...but its not the one that tiesto played on ISOS 3. its more of a filterheadz type rmix, by gabriel & dresden

It all boils down to what you want out of DJing. I believe that you have to pay your dues (and be lucky) to advance beyond the bedroom/friend's parties etc. This may mean playing pop, hip hop, whatever the mindless cattle are buying. It's kinda hard to "sell out" when you haven't made a name for yourself otherwise. If PVD started spinning hip hop because Death Row (god forbid) paid him a ton of money, THAT's selling out.

(Boring "back in my day" story) I busted my ass playing whatever for whoever. And this has gained me contacts, more gigs, free drinks, money, and experience. Yeah, you feel dumb playing 50 cent and all that other crap, but it nets you crowd experience, contacts, and broadens your mixing style. Hell, I learned how to mix highs from hip hop.

In the end, it is all your choice. If you have such a strong hatred of all things pop, and are willing to sacrifice money, experience, and contacts, then by all means stick to your convictions. Later on it may pay off, who knows? Otherwise, suck it up and try to have fun playing music people want to hear. In time, you will dictate what you play.

Just my opinion, hope this helps a bit.

My thoughts are you still can entertain a crowed without there favorite music. If you dont develop your own style, you'll get gigs for more, but not what you'd want to play, and thats not what I or anyone (i would think) wants.

I played a lot of stuff i thought the crowed would like, that could have elements from there kind of music, but still what i want, because its easy to entertained a pretty drunk crowed.
