hehe...well this has certainly turned into more than just a trklist request.

look, i can't disagree with any of the points made here (especially the one about trying to get noticed!)....but like it or don't some dj's are secretive about the what they spin. whether it gets them booked more often or not on an individual basis, i couldnt say for sure. i guess we'd have to ask the booking agencies of all the dj's that white label their records and all the booking agencies of the dj's who don't....

whether it's just mojo, karma, superstition, call it what you will, i can only say from personal experience that i at least *believe* i get booked more often because of what i spin. and wenna , i totally agree with you. i rarely mix the same set twice using the exact same records/songs.

but unless you're like a Dj Craze or Skratch Pickles kinda freaky skills dude, then what else you have to go on but the records you are playing?? i guess some people wear masks. there was that one chickie dj awhile back, cant remember her name, who spun while topless. couldn't match beats worth a shit but who was listening?

i dunno, i forgot the point of this. i'm just saying that for myself, exclusives are a part of the biz, it always has been always will be.

whatever your style or opinion on the matter, just keep spinning. that's the most important thing, oui?

oops, better get some work done.

peace! :D
so i guess in the end "the facts" turned out to be just your opinion/experience... did i understand that right? nice one.

i'd say if you have any clout as a dj.. share your playlists.. if you don't you might be digging a hole for the labels (cause every record sold means a lot to the artists) you love to play by not letting them breathe. techno is way to damn small to be all competitive. especially in this regard.. especially if you have/play promos!
