[QUOTE="ste huxley, post: 841193, member: 10"] I like to hear a bit of everything house, techno-house (frank de wulf, belgian stuff new beat etc etc, not proper detroit style) piano,, italo breakbeat tunes but not the really really fast stuff from 92-93, more at a house tempo, hip house, chicago house, love the beats. A few anthems HAVE TO BE PLAYED. Doesnt have to be a piano anthem tho:thumbsup: Atmosphere and people has to be happy vibes, genuine music lovers who know a good tune, and will dance to it even if they havent heard it before.. Everyone bouncin, top sound system, safe ravin Top DJ's a MUST with good knowledge of crowds and music and who isnt afraid to play a tune with a risk factor, e.g. people not liking it. I myself sometimes feel pigeon holed as to what sort of DJ I am, this is because the majority of the events I play at have lots of piano tunes played (cos thats just cos piano is so popular). But I have many dimensions. Back in the day allsorts was played and everyone loved it, old skool now is 'revival and nostalgia' basically and the majority of people in the north happen to like piano tunes cos thats what they remember. And if they dont remember it, therefore its shit. That does make me laugh! Yes a lot of piano was played up north, but I remember going to loads of BIG raves in the midlands and it was belgian madness all night, then sasha would come on and play loads of piano tunes, guess what everyone loved it One more point tho, a lot of us on here have brilliant record collections now (internet opened the portal for this), certain records we couldnt have even dreamt to have had back then.
