Ok these r extrems but I'm quite sure u'd place yerself closer 2 one that the other...

Personally I feel the dj is an artist and if he has worked 2 create a definition/ sound of his own he is intiteled 2 play what he feels like... I mean would u expect going 2 a Slayer concert and hearing samba or classical music or what ever other than Slayer sound!?!

Sure U should work the crowd with what u got in yer crate... but my crate has only stuff that i like I dont' carry any "I really don't like this but gets the crowd moving" records!!!

yes mate im with you, i also belive strongly in not giving people what they expect.

giving people what they expect to hear is hardly inspiring, if every dj didnt give people what they expected to hear we would have a better scene.

i recently played a set in a pub situated on a council estate, the customers are used too hearing cheese rammed down throats constantly, and thats how they like it too, sadly they didnt get what they wanted. i played a techno set and it went down just like the titanic! if there too narrowminded to try & understand/respect the music then fu*k em. it doesnt deter me though, ill always play what the fu*k i like
