Im playing in a DJ competition this sat. and I wanted to get some advice any1 has to offer. I play prog. trance and funky house , but the comp. is in nebraska and trance isnt too popular , and the judging is partly based on crowd reaction! I planned on playing some latin / jazzy house in the beginning and slowly move up to bangin funky house ! or should i just go off the crowd reaction? hmmm never played at this venue before so I do really no what to expect from the people.

In every dj competition I've been in based on crowd reaction, the winner always plays the cheesiest stuff.

Its not just based on crowd reaction , but i bet thats one of the largest judging area's.

you might be better off playing some stuff like DJ Z-Trip or DJ A.M. plays. its kinda hard to get great reactions from jazzy house in any DJ competition.

Remixes man...popular stuff remixed by good producers.

You'd only be selling out a little bit.

Just go in nutz on the decks playing whatever you want!! The crowd should hopefully feed off you energy, and if they don't, forget about them and spin for yourself...

Ohhh last weekend totally changed how I want to be as a DJ.. :p Good Memories.. :stongue:

Dude, I couldn't stop laughing when the guy came to the booth and asked for it.

find out the style of music the judge likes and just play that. then change once you have won the comp and have a residency there...:)
