Poolside.....djing. Read on

And I'm sure that you've listened to each and every one all the way through at least one time.

Haha I try to at least skim over each album to make sure the quality is ok and nothing is corrupt or anything. Doing a lot of weddings I need to be able to fill any request.

play some Poolside too. i think the whole nu disco and deephouse thing would work well. i would keep some top 40 songs (BOOOO!) handy, just in case. i would sprinkle those in every now and then. I dj a community event before and thats exactly what i did. the crowd loved the "cool techno music" (nudisco/french house) and also like the top 40 stuff.

Straight up. Everyone has a different idea of what a "pool party" should be. What if these people like Hip Hop?

There's tons of pool parties at hotels on South Beach and the range of what is played is vastly different. I played a prime time tourist spot on Ocean Drive and "deep house" is a no-go there. Your idea of a pool party might not be theirs. Ask them.

Just ignore the 'Pool' part of the title - it's a party like any other so if you have your 84,000 songs I'm sure they'll like some of them

If you do weddings you should be fine with this party. I would be ready with Top40 Pop, Dance, Hip Hop & R&B. Also throw in some classic rock and old school (80s & 90s) Hip Hop and R&B. People do want to hear the new songs but love it when you drop an old school classic that takes them back. The mainstream house music may work as well. I DJ regularly at a bowling alley and I never know what I will be playing from night to night so I play all of the above to see what everyone is dancing too.

in all honesty, a neighborhood pool party in atlanta SCREAMS top 40. If this event isn't top 40, I couldn't think of what would be

Depends.. otp or itp? Big difference.

I would def play start off by playing some Tech House. try to find some songs that have been mashed up with the Top 40 songs, but that keep the Tech House vibe. It keeps a great vibe and get's people moving.

Later on in the night while everyone has had several drinks and much looser, you can get a way with some Progressive and Electro tracks.

you can try it, but it always depends on the people. read the crowd.

I always start off and gauge with tech house. let's me know if they need a little more, or a little less energy.
