    Honestly when im at a show or club, i HATE mashups. Play originals, and keep mash-ups to a minimum.

    Depends on the crowd. Look at the folks who go to see Girl Talk or 2ManyDJs.

    Take a chance…see if the crowd goes ballistic or hate your guts. Lord knows more DJs need to take chances nowadays. 🙂

    Its cool if you want to do the mash up thing (with four songs) as your highlights, it shows your skills and makes the crowd wonders about “cool mash-up !” but doing it for the whole 1 hour ? It will not stands out more as you expected it would since you doing it the whole 1 hour

    Thank you for all the replies guys. I’m probably going to play more originals, I’m afraid that I would play a track that everyone loves and then mix it with another song and the crowd goes like “what the hell is he doing ? we were expecting this to be the original”…

    My two cents (whether you like it or not hehehehehe) …

    If (and it’s a BIG if) a mashup is done really well, it will give the audience a feeling of “hey, I know this music, but somethings is odd … interesting but odd … huh? I thought I was listening to something else … wot?” But it will be one of those far-in-the-back-of-your-head feelings while they are going crazy dancing to a good beat. If you can reach that point, mashup as much as you want, make it a musical journey. Just don’t try to fit 12 tracks in 3 minutes … that might be slightly overdoing it.

    Greetinx.
