I agree 100000%

I agree with you man 100%, I just recently decided to take on Latin House as a second genre, I thought I was going to suck at it but they said the people actually liked me and would like to offer me another gig. I also agree you should let your music play at least 85% through, It allowed me to coordinate the smoke and lights with the music. I actually had fun dj-ing for a latin club, and watching latinas shake their booties to the beat wasn't so bad either.

Ohhh! Sorry I see you had been corrected... didn't mean to berate you ...

[micklo1]

great tips.... But your use of the word Detrimental is not correct 80, 90s, and other genre's are an essential, benefical to becoming a good dj. Detrimental means a disadvatange.

Detrimental does not mean 'to be bad for something' at all.

It is prejudicial to someone or something ;p
