Trust me the music I make is worse. Can totaly understand the on rotation thing been a pain. I've just played the song and new customers come in and request it. Massive arguement follows on how I can't play it again yet, even though I love the tune but they want it now.
I'm quite lucky as a dj though as I play Indie, rnb and dance. The full spectrum.
There is lots of stuff that comes out every week. The lists i'm on gets me listening to naily 20 new tunes a week, most with 6+ versions. Some I will love personaly but I know playing will instantly generate the "whats this sh!t response" untill a few weeks of carefuly timed plays. Then when we get sent gems like this Instantly I know ppl will love it and cant wait to get it on. I hate the fact radio actualy plays this music. It's ment for dancing and bars.
Some songs I have to sit on, not playing till a few more know it, like kasabian fire. Obvious big tune but took some ppl getting use to it. Other tunes I just play and play knowing eventualy everyone will love this purely cheese apeal, Metro station as an example. Few funny eyes at first but sure enough they requestin it the followin week.
Not many Dj's get to play vampire weekend, gossip, artic monkeys, littleboots, veronicas, jet, prodigy, Robin s, Ian carry, dizzy rascal, taio cruz, flo rider etc all in the same night. with any dolly parton, celion dion request been a clear Fup off to another bar. We would rather be completely empty than play that tune. Although on the odd occasion dolly has made the apearrence sipply for a laff. That goes for summer of 69 too. The manager would rather us be closed than have to resort to the same old what every other DJ feels they have to play to get through a GOOD night.
In a town I live riddle in it, it some times can be hard not having to play the same regurgitated sh!t. I would much prefer to play guetta a few times till the next floor filler comes along than be the other Dj's playing the same songs they have repeatedly played for the past 10 years.
Ohh! like a mini story coming on.
I do have another alias though and that is as a bounce DJ (rarely now) why do you think I bought a virus in the first place. COME ON!!! Hyper saw anyone.
