OK, you've got 30 minutes, 10-12 records and a budget of £200. Your audience is knowledgable and expecting a good night. What do you do? Cack it or crack it?

Joe Simon seems popular .

It's because he's a total soul genius plus nearly all his records are sooo cheap! I'd quite happily listen to a half hour set made up purely of Joe Simon 45s, would probably cost you a lot less than £200 as well!

Aaaah, you've discovered my ulterior motive. Actually, it was also to get people thinking about how they dj. I know, as much as anyone, how easy it is to dj with big ticket items and £20 tunes are not necessarily great records but they hardly ever feature in most set lists I read. What I'm also looking for is how we put together a set of tunes and why. It's also easy to string together 10 'bedroom' tunes (ones that work well in-doors but don't work in a club). The £200 is a limit but it shouldn't be a limit to taste and skill.

Here ya go Warren ..

Jackie Ross - take me for a little while

The Impressions - I'll always be here

Otis Leavill - Why, Why, Why

Billy Butler - My heart is hurtin'

Aaron Neville - Why Worry

Bobby Foster - If you ever need a friend

kelly Brothers - Crying days are over

Jive Fyve - If I had a chance to love you

Ronnie Macneir - Sagittarian Affair

Tommy Tucker - Thats how much

Shirley Brown - Yes sir brother
