hmmm...

been thinking about this a lot because of a nightly a friend was running that was attracting nothing but guys...a veritable sausage party.

i will say that the taste among the women djs i know (including myself) tends to run the gamut, from deep sexy beats to absolutely grinding techno to reaaaally weird abstraction...so to generalize and say there is one thing that will attract women is pretty far off the mark.

what i can say is that as far as i have observed, regardless of gender, a DJ playing the same loopy type tracks end to end with no ear toward composition seems to bore the hell out of everyone. and this goes for ALL genres: techno, house, d n' b...whatever...

linear...boring. keep things interesting...keep the dancefloor.

personally i think THAT is the key. movement throughout a set...peaks and valleys...subtle mixes and really in your face mixes...throw in something unexpected...watch your audience and not just your mixer, you may learn something about what they are responding to...test them...see what works...

pay attention.
