well said again bill.ive djed many years in different styles and i know what youre talking about.had many conversations with other djs about the crowd thing.im playing a big gig in spain and bassically im going to play all roots/dub underground stuff from here and the old site.taking a chance ,as the spanish crowd aint too clued up on the underground scene.but my attitude these days is if the crowd like it great ,if they dont fuck em.no compromize.i know that generally people like to hear tunes they recognise.but me and my mates are different,when we go to a reggae dance we like to hear fresh tunes we havent heard .ive got a mate who does the reggae classics thing,allright once,but he constantly plays the same set all the time,and to us hardcore reggae listeners hes too boring and play safe.gets the gigs though.lol.you know ,how are people going to hear the new tunes if the djs are churning out the same stuff all the time.
