I have a weekly radio show on an internet radio channel on Ustream, normally I record it at home and send it to the studio, but once I did a live show. Can’t remember what DJ controller there was, but what they did was having a seperate computer that receives the audio through the mic input and then broadcasts it on Ustream. However, I don’t think you need a seperate computer, if you use Ustream, you could both load VDJ and Ustream, Take a RCA-jack cable, so the RCA part you plug into your dj controller (so look for a dj controller that has that output capability) and put the jack into the mic input on your computer and configure Ustream to broadcast that.

The bar I usual DJ at has a whole range of crowds. Some just want the commercail music everyone knows and the radio plays all day, some want real vintage music and others want music they don’t know but are really loud. I try to combine it in my sets to keep everybody happy and often I put on a real bass poundin track that nobody knows it gets the crowd still banging and I get positive feedback. Be careful though: if nobody digs it, switch back. However you can then try another to the general public unknown track.
