As it happens I've been to a nightclub that was in a church in the UK. Unimaginatively called 'The Chapel' in Salisbury. The chapel itself was one of three rooms. A curious twist of fate was that my boarding school had bought the chapel with plans to move it brick by brick 100 miles to my school where it would be re-built and act as our chapel. After it was bought planning permission was withdrawn and it went on the market. About 6yrs later I returned on a night out

very cool. I've thrown a couple of parties in "old" no longer used churches and had mixed results...

thanks for the comment (-:

Originally posted by Lebezniatnikov I love Moshic, but I don't know if that would work for a first try. I'd take a gander at the Rock Remixes thread someone posted. Something people are somewhat familiar with is likely to receive more open-mindedness. For instance, I dj a few parties at my school, where nearly no one listens to house/trance. Every time I try and slip in a series of straight EDM, I get people coming up and saying "can you just play rap?" But if you throw in remixes of popular songs like The Killers, or Kelly Clarkson, or whatever, people are more likely to go with it, and that allows you the freedom to throw in one or two that they don't know in between. I'd say if you're looking to give an introduction to EDM and still have people enjoy themselves, remixes of pop/rock songs are the way to go at the beginning. As for the mood of an actual church event, I don't know what kind of event you have in mind exactly, but something about Ulrich Schnauss sometimes feels a bit spiritual in a more peaceful sense. Esp. a track like Blumenthal. Hope that helps, and good luck.

Great advice. Actually someone else made that suggestion somewhere back near the beginning of this post to try and remix some already known Christian tracks. It just so happens that my younger brother just got his degree in Studio Recording and Post Production. He's already made a few remixes which for his first try didn't turn out to bad. I called him this morning and over the weakened I think we are going to try and get together and maybe pick out some well know contemporary Christian tracks to try and remix into some breaks and maybe a little house. Gonna hold off on the trance for a bit because I don't wanna push people away.
