Genre lists
With reference to re-instating the DJ Help Guides I was wondering if some new “Genre” lists should be made up. We have some good ones for various decades (thanks to Darren), but are a bit lacking in the genre department.
To make this a fair representation of what actually works, I was wondering if our members would mind posting up their top 10 of the genres shown below* (please only list tracks that are proven to actually work in a mobile disco situation & not just because they are of a certain genre. Also must be suitable for all ages) . Obviously some genres will get more top 10s than others so I will compile the finished list from all the responses we get. Don’t worry if what you want to post has already gone up; the idea is to see what the most popular ones are.
*I will be starting individual threads for each genre every few days, but so you can get your thinking caps on here’s the list
