Ive been thinking about a lot and was curious what it's like to work in a lounge where things are more intimate than say a club environment. Do you have more say in what kind of music you play. Are the drunks worse than the ones at the bar.

first off... i hear there's lizards...
Everywhere is different. Respectable spots around here dont rage out with Swedish House Mafia in either the club or a lounge. But again, all spots are different. We can't tell you what your local lounges will like. Go and find out for yourself, as a DJ you should make connections and make that judgement call on your own.

lounges are awesome! Play chill stuff and have a good time. well....at least the lounges ive played at.
I played at a number of upscale hotel lounges in the past. It's always been a really great time because you get to interact with the people in the venue on a much more intimate level (purely professional, of course!).

just play Cafe Del Mar lol
Lounges are good, fun gigs. There can actually be a vibe.
Lounges in London aren't what they used to be, meaning they don't hire DJ's as often anymore, they usually just play mix CD's etc
The ones i have played at (hotels) have been okay. I feel a little too aware of my surroundings when i did it though, made me feel a tad uneasy.
Plus i just love the sweaty, drunken, drug fueled environment of clubs, as opposed to the laid back almost 'too cool for school' vibe of a lounge.
IMO of course.
