Come on guys.. Step outside your normal playing venue..., and step into a modern club that plays all forms of electronia. Perhaps you aren't seeing the 20 somethings requesting these songs simply because YOU'RE NOT EVEN PLAYING THE RIGHT VENUE.

It's funny how you guys make your statements as if you're "in touch" with that group and you don't even play those venues. You make your statements based on the current venues you're playing now. Perhaps you'd get the picture better if you stepped into a modern "Hip" club that caters to these styles of music. Take your PSR's and other arrangers into these venues and do your regular playlists. Let's see how fast the floor either clears or packs.

If you stepped into one of these venues you'd find the age ranging from 21 all the way up into the 50's. If you attempted to play these venues you'd quickly realize how "incapable" your arrangers really are at "rocking the house" for these styles of music.

These guys aren't all DJ's at these clubs either. I've been to quite a few in my lifetime and you'll often find the DJ is also a musician..., and in many cases will even have a keyboard with their other gear. It's not all turntables, and virtual CD scratching either.

I've also been at way too many events to count where the musician had to stick to a modern playlist..., and stil to date no arranger will cut it.
