Ideas for spinning in lounges

[Rumblejazz]

Ive played a loungey sort of place before, playing old-school jazz sampled based hip hoop, rare groove funk and electronica like this:

I'd have a go with some 80s soul and jazz-funk, not sure how big it is over there though.

MY vote is with the 80's stuff and maybe some mashups and as much as I hate to say it freestyle (god I hate freestyle) .

[Rumblejazz]

my idea of a lounge, is like wine, cocktails, european beers, big sofas,moody lighting, and tbh................i cant imagine listening to 80's music in there.....

pretty much they want a good mixture of music, not to much house, to much hip hop, just mix it up

Oh, and Praga Khan - Breakfast in Vegas... nice mellow dance track, really good breakdowns.

i guess if you really want to keep playin here youd better do what these guys are suggesting. a paid DJing job can be hard to find (ive never really been paid) so i can understand why you'd want to impress this guy.
if youre willing to take a risk just play what you think is best. fuck the bar manager or whoever he sounds dense. play to the people. youre the dj and this is your area of knowledge, you are a professional and you know better than dense-face


but all it really comes down to is wetha you wanna make music or money?

if it were me id play liquid dnb until i get told to shut up then id fuck off

Honestly, in the end, I'd agree with Kaon

Play to the crowd. Be sure to bring business cards... in case they love you but the manager hates you, they'll be able to keep in touch with you if they want to see you spin again

koan and DvlsAdvct is got it right, if they request it play it and once the bar manager sees everyone dancing and drinking he will be happy.

pretty much make him alot of money he will shut up
