We've had some top line dj's on at our's - given freedom to play whatever -and it works for us.Prefer the smaller rooms,dj's on their mettle,punters joining in on a personal level with the dj (neckcraning,asking questions etc).No hiding place.
How many times have you heard a tune you've had for ages,and never heard it out.?,Then "Bingo" you walk in the "other room" and there it is is all its glory!!!!.
In reality,there's no point trying to convince folk of what turns you on soulwise.Just do it.!!!!
