Thanks, That was great.  I am one of those few people that enjoy EDM and modern Dance music. I have the Dance pack for the T4/s970 installed and lots of EDM styles I bought over the years. On one of my last Party gigs, I played "Moves Like Jagger" Got a great style for that. 30 people got in a circle for about 20min and did an amazing dance off. Lots of fun.  Eric

Eric I think as an entertainer, it is your task to play the music that the audiemce prefers... espescially at weddings and parties.. This is wher deejays often excell.. If you have lots of young people in the crowd, you ought to be able to play the music that gets them on the dance floor, and never leave it.. Kudo’s to you ...

I think many DJs make the mistake of catering ONLY to the young folks who hog the floor. I make a point to never do more than 3 songs of the same genre in a row, so I can involve the entire room, and not just the barefoot, red solo cup crowd that would dance to the beat of a freight train, given enough chemical stimulation. The old folks like to dance, too and it's sad to see them huddled in the back, stuffing napkins in their ears to drown out the din while the boom, boom, boom rules the room. Weddings are for all generations ... not just the bride and her friends. It takes a watchful eye (and ear) to connect the generations on the floor, but if you can ... the room will truly come alive TOGETHER. DJ Pet peeves: 1) using WAY too much bass 2) playing 10 minutes or more of any one style, especially a non melodic type (EDM) 3) not including songs for all the generations present 4) failure to "connect" the crowd with minimal banter, witty intros, and special dedications Just my thoughts.

Yes, true.. But its not just deejays makig this mistake Its also OMB’s playing arranger and only catering to the elder people in the house... What i meant to say is, be attractive to the whole crowd, young and old..
