The So Called "Classics" Have All Been Played To Death. There Ok Once In A Blue Moon But The're Dead. And I Blame Andrew And His 2 Mix Cds That He's Been Playing Since 1999.

» Subject: NEW MUSIC!
Interesting topic!
I'm a firm believer that DJ's role is to bring new music to his/her crowd. It's all well and good being a "Crowd Pleaser" and playing classic, after classic after boring classic.
Where is the fun in that? What seperates you then, from say... a juke box!
Dare to be different! I love hearing new music when I go out =o)

That said.. if you put your mind to it, you can make even "classics" interesting, and new.
I know it's not quite as possible with "band" based music, but remixes are always a great to way to bring classics, whilst not sounding stale and "cookie cutter"! And hey, if you got the skills, why not make your own remixes!
I can't wait to head back over to Oz, I've got some remixes that are going to blow the elektro rooms apart! =oD

i think it's good to have a mixture, but i hate the idea of limiting the music to just the bands' singles (cough cough blink).
i like the idea of playing some obscure material from well known bands that people like but are sick of hearing the same songs.
i have had a good responses from playing some bands that no-one has ever heard of - basically if it's good music, some people are gonna like it and a few will snob it.

People will appreciate expanding their horizons. Mixing it with some oldies won't hurt, it'll keep the interest. Sometimes though an oldy is another person's newy...

I agree it's important to focus on the new stuff, but an oldie should be thrown in every once in a while as well I reckon.
