So I've had a regular slot in a bar just down the road from where I live recently, but it hasn't really taken off massively - it's meant to be a student night mainly for the people at my college, but it's proving pretty difficult to get them try something new (if anyone has any suggestions for that, feel free to throw them out - the drinks are very cheap, the bar is on the way into town towards the other clubs, I'll play any requests people want if I've got them). But that's not the main point of this thread really.
I got chatting to the bar owner last night and he mentioned that he was trying to build up a bank of DJs for an international music night he was involved in at a bigger club, and asked if I'd be interested. I said I'd look into it, because I don't think my music collection includes much "international" music. Trouble is, I don't really know where to start - I'm not going to be having a headline slot so I won't be able to play big tunes, so I somehow to have to find out what's popular but not too popular. In genres that I'm not entirely familiar with. Any ideas?
