| Start off with stuff you know they will like and slip trance in once in a while. Don't start off with it wait till the crowd gets into their groove then feel the crowd out. |

| Gonna be kind of risky playing trance after hip hop especially in this area. I would stick with house. Maybe test the waters with something melodic, or cheesey. If its looking good, slowly work into it. |

| Agreed. You also need to think about the type of crowd. Would they get offended by swearing or the like. If so take ing society out, even though it is a damn awesome track! i would just say get a feel of the crowd. While the hip hop loser dj is doin his mingle with the crowd and tell what they want. Are they energetic - hard house, are they bored and tired - don't risk djing. =) ohh and yes, do try house first, they would most deffinatly like that, chillout. . |

U might wanna start of w/ da cheese if those kids are not familiar w/ any of the records you got.
U definitly wanna start of first b/c if those kids like hip hop and the dude starts playin hiphop and they get into the grove then u bust in w/ a house set they will go crazy......:D |

Yeah, agree on the house with hip hop thing, but....
If you have 45 records and you are thinking of only taking half of those why?????????
You never know what situation might arise and that next killer tune is sitting at home gathering dust instead of destroying the dancefloor! |

you never know what's going to happen
there have been times where i'm eased into an electronica set with some mainstream stuff and just spur of the moment pulled an off the wall track that i'd only really ever think of playing at a rave, and the people went off to it
take with you want you have, then read the crowd
if they're digging the tunes, and are having a good time, ease into some better stuff |
