| you can always make the rap remixes with trance in them...but like stick on the baddest stuff you know..i mean no ones gonna listen to they dont like so you gotta deal with that....if your playin at a club and they tell you to switch..get your and leave cause man your at the wrong club and you should be at the one down the street thats playin all the good ....do you mix more than just trance...house is good and a variety of things might help? |

I feel your pain.
Nothing sucks more than having someone ask for a completely different music than what you are playing.
While I don't get this in the clubs I sometimes will gladly take on parties too. Admittedly ones organised by Trance folk. But you will always have some wit come up to you and ask for the latest Snoop dog.
What ing planet are they on? The place is going off and people are dancing their asses off and they want to grind with their girlfriend. They would be the only ones.
Egypt has a lot of clubs but from what I remember they are very cheesy and yeah, usually the DJ sucks arse too.
My only advice to you is to work on becoming a good DJ first and foremost. Learn the skills of the trade as they are pretty much the same where ever you spin.
Work on trying to give people what they need (keeping in mind what they need isn't always what they ask for) to have a good time.
Think of it like this.
If they have to come and ask you for something that only one person wants to hear, that's pretty normal and you will always get this. You don't need to do anything about it.
If you have to be asked for something the whole place wants to hear, you are not doing your job.
The only way you can keep track of this is keeping your finger on the pulse of what's going on musically in the world. You HAVE to know what is big at the moment, but even harder you MUST know what is going to be big.
When you are giving people what they need, it's easier to squeeze in a little something that you need.
Cheers

People like you are ruining the scene. This is the dumbest thing I have senn in all these boards since I have been posting in here! It was a shallow thing for you to say and you sound like a shallow person. If you feel like I am attacking you by what I am saying, I am! |

ha i want to learn the guitar, keyboard and drums! |

| I can play the guitar too but I suck ass as the keyboard. Its easy to play though the notes are all regularly spaced unlike a guitar which has notes distributed over an uneven matrix. It just takes hours and hours of practice. |

all i was saying that a majority of people that i know, living in new york city where trance isnt popular, that kids only want to tolerate and give trance music a chance when they're on xtc. i dont understand how stating my own personal observations could really be that dumb to you. If you think some where in that that i was condoning drug use or saying "yea thats wat worked for me, take E then listen to trance" then lemme say no, thats no the case, im from new york, and when i was 13 my mother who happens to be from England went over there and brought back some good music for me... So it wasnt a drug thing for me... and nor do i necessarily understand y most kids ive seen who dont like trance, take E and then suddenly do, and nor do i give hits of E to people to get them to like my music... i think that last sentence is wat u thought i meant... not quite the case... thanks ne how for pmin me, mity cool of u |

| Or maybe you could play some nice Techno like Frank Kvitta and just lie to them and say its Trance. |
