So, this past Tuesday, the 10th, I dj'd in an official capacity at the Oasis dance club. It was a lot of fun playing more of the music that I liked, and also adjusting what I played according to the crowd. I'm now busy selecting songs for my next gig - again at the Oasis - on the 23rd. It's easy to play songs that one knows people will like, but not as easy to choose music that one likes - is new to the crowd - and blend it in with a few not-played-as-often favorites. But, I refuse to cop out and the take the easy option. I want people to be exposed to the Latin music universe, and not the typical small corner that they do with what others play.
