Kevin, I agree. I sometimes hear the same arguement in regards to dance style. If you learned one style you can't learn another, blah blah blah since you are already programmed. It is a matter of will and work. Depending on your talent level, it will take more work for some than others. If you reall...

Looking back at my wording, I wish I could have said it a little better. I was still a little worn and groggy from Lindy Gras. But, yeah, the essense of what I was trying to say is still there. Still in Group B. ** For those are complaining about the poll, it is not my poll, it is based on a quote f...

I guess since this thread was inspired by Yehoodi, it can behave like other threads of its ilk. Group A - States the strict definition. Of course, they are correct. Group B - Those who are willing to accept that a term may have evolved to have multiple meanings and are generally less dogmatic in the...
For the most part, you are going to get more educated requests at Exchanges and other major events. And to take things further, a request from a fellow DJ is probably more insightful than most other requests that you get. As for the stuff about not playing requests at Exchanges. I think that is up t...
For the most part, I will play requests. If it is a sucky request, I will announce that it is a request. If it is god awful, I will say something before and after the song. What led me to this policy was an incident a few months back, this guy handed me a copy of the Night at the Roxbury soundtrack ...
good job on the volume for the weekend. i loved it loud Oh ya, and this Kyle dude kept asking me to play real music ;) I think he wanted some groove or neo-swing or something. :P Two weeks ago, there was a brand new DJ in San Antonio, it was his first set and I was in the DJ stand with him. A dude ...
It all depends on the room. I generally like it louder, but sometimes I have to tone it down. We have certain dancers that are sensitive to lound noise and they complain. It is never that loud when they complain, but what can you do? Our main venue is in a large ballroom. We don't have speakers in t...

Big T
I was dancing in Dallas this weekend and heard of a few tracks off a new CD. They sounded ok. I have not heard the full album, so I can't say too much more. Besides, I am not in the mood to get flamed by some of the more critical users of this Board. Based, in Dallas, Big T and Bada Bings are a 15-1...

Unless they are a complete and total sell out (and some DJs certainly are, as they seem to want to play whatever SEEMS to keep everyone happy) DJs are going to ALWAYS going to play what THEY like. Period. No matter how much they try and act like they are interested in other peoples tastes, no matte...

Play the good fast music that moves them, the good slow music that moves them, etc... If you're really mixing it up throughout an evening, there will be plenty of great variety across...
