Thanks for your answers! It is kinda tricky but its cool to hear different opinions.
The club owner was ok with playing salsa in the stereo system since he was the main guest. I did get paid but wasn’t doing it for the money, as most of us djs I guess we do it for the passion about our music. So I guess thats one of the things that held me back. I think the worst thing I didn’t mention was the kinda arrogance from the guest. Now that I think it through, if he had approached me and the owner in a “humbler” manner maybe I would have reacted differently.
