    Paid or not u should get it done 😉

    your main music in this gig should be Top 40 anything Chart hits Old and new , ( by old i mean 5 yrs back )
    + your local radio’s hits
    don’t worry much about mixing it comes .. your priority should be Songs selecting and good programing
    Maybe some Hip Hop , and be sure to have some personal fun of EDM by throwing Top40 remixes
    some good pop songs ( not remixed ) and make sure to have some slow tempo songs if there’s couples 😀

    Don’t be afraid to surprise them with some unpredictable songs ( like some old Disco hit or Humpty dance )

    i see that u use Traktor , well get all your gig songs analyzed .. Cued and ready to be played easily 😉
    Don’t go hit after hit .. boring 😀
    don’t take rocket science .. its all fun in the end.. and most don’t know sh** about Djing

    Have fun

    yeah as indamix said, you need to be a little less two dimensional and rigid with this. Whilst you might assume you have great musical taste and knowledge, its pretty safe to say that the people in attendance will not. You’ll have to mix up genres (mostly top 40 stuff) or people will get bored and just kick you off for itunes. You are probably there so they can feel ‘cooler’ having a DJ at their party.

    I think electronic remixes of pop tunes will be a good start. They’ll hear their familiar stuff and then cling to that. From there, just experiment. Only rule is to make it fun for them.
