Sounds like the Judge

Like me. To be honest I think its an 'oligation' to spin the same tracks every set. I sorta have 2 types of sets, one set of being of hard trance and one being classic epic/uplifting anthems.

this is what i've been spinnin over and over again

4 Clubbers - Children (Future breeze vs junkfood junkies mix)
Kai Tracid - Trance And Acid
Kai Tracid - Too Many Times
Scot Project - See you in the next life
Underworld - Born Slippy (CJ Stone remix)
OC Project - Close your eyes

i dont think you should play the same songs over and over again, maybe pick one or two songs that are like the "Xavier anthems"

its like when I play, i usually plays "adrenaline - shut the fuck up and dance" and that tribal remix of the launch... im more of a house dj...

To me you can play any songs that sound good and make people happy, if a song didn't get a huge reaction you don't play it again.

For me I'm still paying off my turntables (With no job????) and I only have like 10 good vinyls. I find you can use different remixes but it has to be classy, using the build ups and main sections more than the rest. eg
Song 1 all : Song 2 build up, main : Remix song 1 main : Remix song 2 main, break down : Softer song
Done right with some similar songs can really please a crowd, even if it's only a house party. Don't forget the softer song or drag it on for too long as you can't keep up that intensity forever.

Well, to give a subjective view, I think that the only person who can answer that question is you. Each DJ must come up with his or her own style, DOs and DON'Ts and ethics etc. To give you my opinion, if I were to spin a couple of different mixes of the same track, if they sounded very similar I would tend to always mix them together so that people think that it's one really long track instead of you playing the "same" track twice. Remember here that a lot of people whether high, drunk or hopefully just plain old dancing their heads off, won't remember the exact remix of each track, just that they know they have heard it before. So if you are going to spin two mixes of the same song with several tracks inbetween, I'd tend to make sure that they are very differnt mixes indeed! I wouldn't want to leave the crowd in a stupor over if they just heard this track, I want them to be dancing!
