I know it's christmas and i must be a sad fooker, as always when you get a group of soulies together the conversation turned too how do promoters persuade Dj's to mix thier spot with oldies,newies,modern this came up at our party last night

Why not have a juke box on stage with top 500 and punters just played what they want.

Another ideal the promoter makes a CD (mp3 format) of what he/she thinks the punters will like and play that thru the sound system.

The one which made one or two laugh was the promoter gave the Dj's the records to play at the time of thier spot.

your thoughts would be welcome

I was at Glastonbury last year and the best thing there was the SILENT DISCO.

Everyone was given a set of headphones with 2 channels on entry.

Techno stuff on one channel conventional pop/disco on the other.

1 dance floor, 2 DJ's, 2 sets of people dancing to 2 genres

It was great fun to do & funnier to stand at the side, switch the headphones off, and watch.

I thought at the time it would be great to do R'n'b/oldie channel & a crossover/modern channel.

Shit I must be sadder than you Barry, but what do you do after you've opened your pressies and the wife has kicked you out the way.

do we mean the top 500 now or from the first book since the first book at least 200 tracks have been ommited in the new one for new entries

i think there is more then 500 songs that are too popular after all Jackie Wilson's got a good few (i know some songs which are class he did and never played out)
