You know, each year I admire less and less small venue, lounge, and bar djs. This year I passed out to friends cds that encompassed 1 1/2 hr compliations (per genre liking of the recepient ..... some latin, some house, etc)..... I gotta say its sad that the response from the recepients was "dayum, this is just as good or better than what they are playing in the clubs". Thats sad. Lounge, small venues, and Bars (that are paying, $200-700 a night easily) are having djs who a) dont blend. dont keep beats c) dont respond to crowded or empty dancefloors Its gone from half ass to junk at places that should know better what not to book.
