To The Haters

The greatest thing about djing is discovering a new song and getting excited about playing it to a dancefloor for the first time.  How will they react? Will they like it, or will you just see lots of blank faces.

As with anything though you get haters, people who will slag you off whatever you play.   People moan about hearing the same things every week, but then when you play new stuff they get pissed off that they don't know it.   Things aren't the same every week.   Of course some tracks will be and if they weren't then the majority who go to hear that stuff would leave.  That said, in any situation people are more likely to slag than praise

Here is what we played at Popstarz last night. It begins vaguely obscury but with plenty of high profile non mainstream stuff peppered throughout. In fact it's not even that obscure, it's just a little bit different.  Make up your own mind.
