    if you do some research on top 40, check crooklynclan or a similar site and you can really find some pretty solid house / electro remixes of most hits. build up some top 40, then drop a banger you know that fits and youll get a better reaction since its unknown but rockin the joint.

    paid practice.

    I'd probably do anything that would get my name out there and getting more gigs. At the end of the day, you still get paid, you still get to play music, you still get practice reading the crowd etc and if worse comes to worse, you can always work your DJ game on some girl at the party (make sure she's of age though!). I doubt many of the big names in dance music started straight off the bat with a bunch of people appreciating their music. If they did, they managed to get into those social circles through people they must have met at one of those parties where they had to play "top 40" stuff.

    so fun especially if you got your eyes on a hot biddy and wanna impress her. and little-to-no real work as mixing top 40 is all intro loops and quick slams and a few echo freezes lol.

    Mashups and remixes for the win! And at $100/hr, who cares if you're not playing tracks you like. That's around ten times the average starting wage for just fading terrible tracks in and out. Sounds good to me.
    Setup: Kontrol S2, Komplete Audio 6, Maschine Mikro Akai LPD 8, Akai Mpk49, Traktor 2, Ableton Suite 8.

    Haha, thanks for the advice, I'm definitely going to load my harddrive with shit, and attempt to feel out the crowd. But, since they're a sorority in atlanta, I would assume that most of the "clubs" they've been to play mostly house music. Hmm.
