heh, the EDM scene has a history of being beaten up by other genre's. Physically.... i guess we're not the type to start fights and beefs and try to be tough like guys into hard rock and hip-hop...
I played for an RnB crows. I started with vinyl, and acapellad D12 stuff with some trance to start off with. then just played vocal after vocal, and made sure I mixed in tracks as quickly as possible (even if it was a roughish mix), to minimise how long it takes before the next vocal comes up...
The crowd didn't seem to mind it. It was a very small crowd anyway. I still played a bit of RnB. Though they were into RnB, they didn't seem to react to badly to trance. I did get asked to play rnb by some girl though.
Best is to play both use looping if u have to, to mix from one genre to antoher. Use a tapping beat counter if you have to, and u'll master mixing into and out of rnb from 4x4 EDM no problems.
