    Default What To Play @ Skate Rink?

    got a call yesterday about an opportunity to be a resident at a local skating rink, which i said i'd be more than happy to do. the only problem is, i haven't been to one since elementary school, does anyone know what type of music is best suited for that environment? my ideas were:

    breakbeats
    top 40 dance remixes
    or top 40 in general?

    my thinking was that dance music would go over well since it's kind of a physical activity and has a lot of energy, but then again people want to hear their favorite tunes too? since the bpm's would be quite different and they specifically told me they want continuous music, i want to choose a range and be able to satisfy everyone with it.

    any suggestions?

    i think top 40 and all time pop classics is expected in that sort of a situation - atleast all the djs at the skate rinks i have been to play that sort off music

    ^ word.. ya I'd try to find a middle ground between what you'd normally play and top40/classic pop so you don't get completely bored with things but also keep the patrons and management happy.

    If it's a Roller Disco Skate Rink, the name says it all...

    If it's a skate park, do hardcore, hiphop and the most phat beats man has ever seen.
