So when does a DJ need to retire or you really need to stay abreast of modern music??

[Have a disco]

After reading the subject matter at hand I take no offence as every DJ is diferent, some are stuck in a time warp and play the same set virtually at every mobile disco. But some really keep astride of possible new modern classics to be ie promos.

It also depends wether the client wants to hear, well known mainstream classics or certain genres of style through the night (not many ask for goth and R'n'B for instance), but most want cheesy party sounds or in total reverse No cheese?? But we are there to please the client 90% to 95% of the time, a perfect 100% is a always wanted pinicle of DJing.

In my eyes a DJ that does the same thing week in week out without wavering musically should be thinking of retiring or at least have a kick up the butt as audiences change weekly.

I know one guy whom does a local pub basically does the same set week in week out and strangely enough the pub is full of winging customers whom never get there requests???

But another disco I know selects different DJ's upon there ability and musical knowledge to certain customers needs?? You would not send a DJ whom is more suited to do a 70's / 80's old school party and reggae styled night to do an R 'n' B Hard house and current night. As they would be out of there depth

I believe that a DJ is there to educate wether the music is new or old popular or lesser known, We are teachers and there to make someones night memerable if not unforgetable for the right reasons... This is a hard enough task most of the time for most DJ';s as you cant force customers to dance
