Rapmeister 0 Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Hi all, I am playing a gig to a youth football team on Friday night, the clientele are youngsters from between 12 and 15 years old and of course all the adults too. What music do I start the do off with? I am fine with all the fast dance floorfillers and cheese as the evening progresses but it is the start of the do I am struggling with. Do I go straight into a catchy number or do I start with a few slower songs? HELP!!! :hurt: :wall: Experienced Motown & Northern Soul Mobile DJ Link to post Share on other sites
stardust 0 Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 If it was me.. For that age group i would start off with a few commericial R&B/HipHop tracks which that age group love - Such as Boom Boom Pow, Low and a few others by Flo Rida and other charty Boom/pow/R&B stuff. The last few discos i have done in that age group - the boys, especially, like (or pretend to) the more hard core R&B/Hip Hop stuff but that usually contains swearing and god know what else.. which you won't be able to play! cheers oohh Link to post Share on other sites
supersound dj 0 Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 (edited) word of advise..lads of that age tend to ask for songs with loads of swearing in them..be careful. Paul Edited June 24, 2009 by supersound dj Link to post Share on other sites
exbutlinred82 0 Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 done loads of these....they are dead easy. Half of the evening is presentations and food. Knock yourself up some limbo poles and buy some cheap glostix and flashing LEDS of Ebay.Make sure you have a good roving mic for the presentations. Music will not be an issue...they love beating you with their strange requests....and they will no matter what you have. Keep them entertained and they can be fun. Link to post Share on other sites
