Chris, I hear where you are coming from. It seems like everyday there is 150 songs I want to go and download. But here is my opinion. While it is always important to stay up to date in the music world, there is something more important. Having the people you are playing for enjoy the music. Sure, if you are the first DJ at a club to play a certain song that is awesome. But the ultimate goal of a DJ, at any level, is to entertain and make people dance. So, what I am trying to get at is, don’t worry so much about being as updated as possible. Instead, focus on having the best songs and the songs people enjoy the most. In the end, that is what people will dance to most. Not the song they never heard, but the song that makes them go “oh shit” when it’s played. That is just my opinion!
