[bomp] Re: DJ culture (and all that jazz)

[hoodoo3005@xxxxxxx]

I said: "Hell, my preferred set is just plain stuff that sounds good, hit or
miss."


Then Dave said: "Why go out to hear stuff I already know?B  Why spin stuff
that everybody's already heard?"




You missed my point by three country miles.




Okay - when I select records for my soul night, I don't think in terms of
whether it was super popular or not, I'm more like: will it fill the dance
floor? Whether it was a hit or an obscurity is secondary.




Now, I'm not too proud to play the hits every now and then. When I heard those
excited female shrieks during the opening bars of "Rescue Me" one night, I
knew then and there that it was a wise decision to always keep some hits in
the crates!B 




But remember, I said "every now and then."  I ain't no fool - I wouldn't play
too many common songs back-to-back, or else the set would start sounding like
the playlist of an oldies station. Or your cousin Amber's wedd




At the soul night that me and John do, we're blessed with a crowd that will
hit the floor during both the hits and obscurities, just as long as the beat
is right.




It doesn't have to be wall-to-wall hits, or an all-obscure set. You can rock
it both ways.
