Wow, the reactions to this are seriously surprising me...
When people ask me what I love to spin I say underground (minimal) techno. The reason I add "underground" is because it is underground. However, the reason I like the music isn't because it's underground, it's because it's AWESOME!
Now if tomorrow I woke up, and (minimal) techno was all of a sudden pop, i'd be extremely happy, since this would mean more opportunities to play at gigs, more people who share the same taste in music, more people producing. I'd love it, really.
So I don't understand why "mainstream" upsets you guys... Sure, changing your style to go mainstream is bad (Guetta?) but when a style is liked by a lot of people, there's just more to share.
Isn't that the reason we are dj's? Sharing the love for our music?

I agree... I spin electro, electro pop and top 40 with my own little twist alot of the times. So if electro keeps becoming more popular and more played on the radios..then I get to hear more good electro music by top notch producers aaaand I get to play more gigs and people feel my music more..Win/win situation I think.

I have said this before, who cares the style, a good song is a good song. Someone asked me once, what was my preferred style of music, I paused and replied: Style? what style? So I answered, Yes!
At the end of the day mix what you feel and feel what you mix. (techno, house, trance, dance, classical, hiphop, r'n'b, dub, latin, folkloric, ethnic, top 40 hell event the bottom 40 if it has a good beat, who cares...)
Thanks and don't let genres complicate your life, GOOD IS GOOD no mater the genres."Life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you just might miss it..."

Its a good question. In some photos Rihanna looks well fit and when she played at the Radio 1 Big Weekend here she looked damn sexy with that umbrella, but in other pics she looks like shes been chasing parked cars...
No-one comes close to my beloved Katy Perry...

Me and my boys used to play a fun (sexist) game called
Fit Butters or Butters Fitty.
Fit means good looking, Butters means ugly.
Many if not most girls (and probably boys) fall in in to one camp or the other. Their either a goodlooking ugly girl or an ugly goodlooking girl.
Rihanna is a fit butters, she looks like she should be ugly but there's something definitely fit about her...CLUB OF JACKS - RELEASES >>TRAXSOURCE
