It depends on how people are dressed that night.

As quick as they're created,
they disappear,
forever.
You may think you see the same thing twice,
but each move comes with a different beat, a differetn emotion, a new burst...
of life.

there's a few things you need to take into consideration.

1. how full the bar is and what the vibe is like

people like to party in a packed bar, it's almost science, fun stuff for a packed bar, period
people drink more when they're having fun, people buying drinks is good
if the bar isn't busy, people like to chill and talk with their friends, keep the music light and not overbearing, serious stuff works well, if people start trickling onto the dancefloor, pick it up

2. level of intoxication

i like to use my deeper and more serious stuff to warm up, leave the fun stuff for peak hours when everyone is intoxicated and grooving
this applies to drugs as well if booze isn't being served, but you also have to be careful to not kill anyone if you're playing to a known drug crowd, try to keep the BPMs at a reasonable level, this isn't a race, make sure to let them have a breather now and then, a chance to grab a swig of water, breakdowns work well

3. what your timeslot is

like i mentioned above, i like to warm up with some deep prog, headline with peak hour fun trance and house, and close with what the crowd wants, so it varies

4. the style of the night

above all, what is the music policy of the night
are they known for having a night of serious tunage, or is it a piss-up fun night


just a few things to consider... i'm stoned... time for another spliff
