As a relative newcomer to the soul scene i dont really have any pet hates but i do agree with above comment, 'somebody out there still loves it'. I think ones tastes continually evolve, i mean isn't it the 'overplayed classics' that first hook you in to soul music and then as you go to more events and hear different things you begin to like them too? this dosent mean that the first stuff you hear becomes c***p! reading this topic i have learned a few things though......dont stand in dark corners or people will assume you are a gangster, you must smile ALL night and/or dance all night....even if you cant dance(like me )
I have dipped my toe into this djing lark but after reading some of these comments i think I'll be giving it up! I tend to put a few choons on that i think everyone will know, and few choons that maybe you wont or wont have heard in a while, usually i clear the dancefloor a few times but i dont worry, just cos no ones dancing dont mean they aint enjoying it. Well thats what i think anyway. But hey what would i know... Im a newbie and a pretend DJ
