Yes! I had to go through the same thing in Phoenix. How do I get these
"don't know anything about cool music, cuz I listen to the radio 24-7"
people into my groovy, but sophisticated sounds. First, if the crowd
requests something like Puff Daddy, Mase, or Lil' Kim play some Tribe,
half the time this will bring 'em in slowly. Or just tell them "Later".
Some cool artists to play to "no- clues crowd":
Wiseguys, Propellorheads, Daft Punk, La Funk Mob(Mo Wax- still
Avaiable), Blueboy's Remember Me, etc. Or do what I did, throw in Roni
Size, Adam F., Krust, and Alex Reece, and there sure to come around-
that was in '96. Now I'm playing Ed Rush & Optical, Dope Dragon,
Renegade Hardeware, Trouble on Vinyl, Dillinja, Peshay, EZ Rollers,etc.
and rockin' crowds. It's just a metamorphasis!!!!
I hope I helped you out. Good Luck!

It looks like my buddy and I are going to set up residency at a club here
up at school (Penn State). We are trying to cater to a college town
atmosphere w/o selling out and spinning disgusting Puffy. At the same
time, I have to recognize that dnb might not fly over too well at first.
We figure that my partner will house it with the 4/4 and I'll spin hip
hop (da real shit -- no commercial caca) and trip-hop type stuff. I do
not own any Icey, nor do I intend to buy any, but can somebody point me
in the direction of some of the better stuff out there that could
actually have cross-over appeal? Maybe I should even dabble into the
better side of big beat...
Also, does anybody have any tips on how to bring a non-traditional crowd
into the more intelligent side of electronic music? We know that it
won't be overnight, and we'll probably have to still deal with the stupid
"play some spice girls" request, but we want to expose people to all this
music we constantly discuss on this list.
Any and all leads are welcome...
Peace,
Pedro Cevallos
