Sorry guys, i'm doing something i should not - posting at 4AM.
So here's my situation and where I need your help!
I've been spinning (bedroom DJing) for about 3 months now and am going to be DJing my first few parties over the next two - three weeks. Each of the parties are occuring at a friends places so it won't be anything huge (probably 50 - 100 people or so).
I however want to start DJing or attempt to DJ at a local 18+ club. Last time I went there was before I was 21, so it was little less than a year ago (I went in March) and I have heard it has not gotten too much better, the main reason the entire thing sucked was because the DJ had the shittiest selection of music possible. (<-- And that's extremely hard to do when all you have to do is play Top 40 shit for the crowd to have a good time around here. I'm not really going to go into this, nor is this thread about his music selection.)
What I want to do is talk to the club owner or something and spin there for maybe a few hours for little or no money, If I can fill the dance floor then i'll ask him to book me every Friday / Saturday nights.
So what I want to do is (I read this on the DJTT main page a while ago) create a CD of my own to give to the owner / promotor (or w/e you wanna call it) to "showcase" my skills and create something that he'd enjoy listening to.
So now finally to where I need your help, do you have any suggestions as to what I should make sure to do / not do on the CD? And anything I should watch for? I'm going to have to do mainly Top40 / Hip Hop and maybe little bit of EDM / DubStep in it, but not that much.
Sorry if it makes no sense or I am rambling, i'm getting delirious right now - and i'm going crazy!
Thank you very very much for all your time and responses!
