    Something very similar happened to me about two month ago. The club I am resident in booked DJ Luck and MC Neat (2 massive UK garage artists). They wanted me to DJ either side of their set. All good ye… apart from I am not a Garage DJ…..I am a dance/club/house DJ.

    Anyway, I decide to take the gig, I done a bit of research in to garage music, also asked DDJT members for help…….. Next thing I know I am performing a full on garage set alongside LUCK & NEAT!….. And I absolutely loved every second of it, probably one of the best nights I have ever done.

    So ye, don’t turn down the opportunity, I would defiantly take the gig, just brush up on your music, do a bit of planning and go for it!!

    Good Luck …lets me know how it goes, if you do decide to take the gig 😉

    Its a tough one, but you have to take that amazing opportunity. Ask the promotor what kind of stuff the crowd will be expecting, then take it and add your twist to it. If do have an amazing set and the promoter notices it, then theres a lot of potential in the future! Also you never know Mark Ronson may be taking a more upbeat house approach to his new album/DJ sets and in that case you would fit in just fine!

    Let Us know how it goes, if you do it!! 😉

    Cheers guys, I think I’m going to wait and see what the promoter wants played before I decide for definite. The gig last week was Wolfgang gartner and he just let me do my own thing completely for that so we’ll see what he says about this one.

    You can surely adapt rather than completely throw out your own tastes, to suit the event? That’s what I’d try and do…
