"It’s impossible to make a playlist that will please everyone " I agree but surely you’d play to the crowd? Majority being over 50 you’d play appropriate music? Even at a wedding with mixed ages when the older stuff comes on the kids all get up and dance!! | |||

"The clubs we go to tend have themed nights for the music." I went to a 60s theme night once and the dj played new dance garage what ever it is? I said to him ain’t it meant to be a 60s theme night? He said yea but not the music lol | |||

"A club we visit here used to play Adele continously. Don't get me wrong she is amazing but when you are trying to get down and dirty in a swingings club the last thing you want to hear is her singing about her broken heart it is a bit of a mood killer "lol that’s funny!!! | |||

"Love going to a swingers club, love the naughty atmosphere and feeling of total freedom! But given the average age of most of us, why is the music so shit?? These DJs always play modern rap type music that I and I guess a lot of other people have never heard of?? My musical knowledge comes from 50s -2000 as I think not much after that was any good " Not got too much of an issue with the type of music played but do have an issue with the volume. When we go to a club it is to meet people have a conversation with a view to playing. That can be quite difficult when you are literally have to shout into the ear of the other person, you often find yourselves holding conversations out in the corridor which is hardly conducive to sticking up a meaningful friendship. | |||

" Love going to a swingers club, love the naughty atmosphere and feeling of total freedom! Why is the music so shit? " Exactly my sentiments! My local club (I won't name and shame, but I live in Leeds) plays wholly inappropriate music at rediculous levels, through a crap sound system. It's a total turn off in a venue that's supposed to turn you on! As for paddling in piss in the Gents, well that's a different story.  | |||

"You can’t please everyone on this. There’s been a couple is events when the music hasn’t been to my taste but still enjoyed the night." Not everyone no but should play to the crowd, and yes it doesn’t ruin the night but if the music was the type everyone knew and liked it might just get people more into it and be better for all! | |||

I was just going to say exactly this. Every club I have been to apart from the old kestrels has been devoid of a quiet space to actually speak to people. | |||

"Do people go to Swinger's Clubs to listen to loud rock/disco/pop music, (usualy, but not always, through a crap system that was a cheap after thought when designing the place), or do they go because the club is catering for sensual hedonistic pleasures? I wager they are ALL there for the latter. There are several genres of music that would be more appropriate and generate the desired sensual effect. Unlike most venues in Europe, in the UK we just don't get it - neither do the DJ's who think louder is better!" Maybe they play the music succour so people can’t get put off by what people are saying and just look at the pretty bodies? | |||

" It’s funny, isn’t it, we all think we have great taste in music, we’re all absolutely right and absolutely wrong. Music appreciation is largely subjective, and whatever I think is utter shite (and it’s a lot of music) others will think is great. Who is to say I am right and others are wrong. Obviously I think I’m right but I’m not arrogant enough to think I am the arbiter. Also, Erasure are great. | |||

This. It’s no fun asking people to repeat themselves several times because someone thinks they’re some superstar DJ. Quiet enough to talk but loud enough to dance, please club owners!" We couldn't agree more. Even these organised socials (social being the operative word) some DJ's think it's their moment. We even expressed our concerns following an organised social event in Newcastle a few years ago only to get abuse from the DJ. Needless to say we didn't go back. As for clubs, it's not so bad if the club is large and have different areas to socialise but when its just one room and bar with separate play rooms music definitely should be kept to a level so folk can hold conversations. Also like some have said above, the wrong music playing for an older crowd, what is that all about? We say it is laziness from the club not wanting to interact, just set a play list off never to revisit to see what's going on. There are some clubs we've given up visiting due to the shit/loud music all night, not usually the only reason but when there are 2, 3, or 4 reasons the music usually is the last straw for us. It's not difficult to have a mix of genres to suit all ages through the night   | |||

"This string seems to be chatting about a regular night club/disco. The fact is that we're talking about Swinger's Clubs where the music ought be incidental to the main reason people go, which is for hedonist sexual pleasure. The music should heighten the experience, not distract from it." When I go to a swingers club for their alt rock night or their Neon Rave night, I can confidently say the majority do not want to hear music for hedonistic sexual pleasure. | |||

In those days, it was quite possible to be conversant with the entire broadcast music repertoire. Food for thought, given the limitless choice available nowadays. | |||

" Are you really saying you had it bad having to listen to bill haley and the Beatles??? These people changed music forever, you can’t compare todays computer generated shit to these greats surely " Fortunately, the Beatles improved slightly after the 'I want to hold your hand' and 'Love love me do' era. No idea what happened to Bill Haley and I never bought 'Rock around the Clock'! The thing is that there is now so much more choice that if you don't want to listen to computer generated shit you don't have to. In the 1950s you got whatever there was on Radio Luxembourg or the Light Programme.That was about it. I would contend that things started improving with the emergence of the super groups and then deteriorated with the emergence of the boy bands and pop idols. Anyway, the shittiness of music in clubs isn't down to the music market as much as to the poor judgement of the club hosts who play it. Those of us who remember the late lamented Alan Sabini running Eureka discos will know that great club nights have existed and brought immense pleasure and enhanced the sexual atmosphere as well. No Saturday night went by without 'Face down Arse up (and others of that style). " Remember a night at eureka in Kent when they played s club 7 that was home time for us " I wouldn't know S Club 7 if I heard them but I hope that if they are that bad they drove visitors away from Eureka after Alan's time! | |||

Upstairs didnt particularly like it at the time but downstairs we had a long line of semi naked people doing the conga  that then went upstairs and played together.
So its subjective to the time and situation really & it was only one song and think it was used as a ice breakers by the person who requested it | |||

Got to laugh when we get crazy requests like that downstairs in our club.
Upstairs didnt particularly like it at the time but downstairs we had a long line of semi naked people doing the conga that then went upstairs and played together.
So its subjective to the time and situation really & it was only one song and think it was used as a ice breakers by the person who requested it "Haha don't worry guys! It's a funny memory, we were all having a GREAT time! X | |||

some party crowds are easy to read but sometimes you have to mix it up a bit to make it work for everyone and even then it can be very difficult.
The thing I fear the most DJ'ing are requests because unless they fit with what you are playing it can kill a dance floor in seconds also people can get very offened if you don’t play there song within 3 songs especially when drinking, it's a no win situation DJ'ing in a swingers club.
I have a lot of symphony for DJ's in swingers clubs because if customers are not going to specific theme nights like 80's or 90's or trance or dance or cheese or rock or R&D & many more types of music you will never please everyone, it's simply impossible.
Finally, if I was DJ'ing in a normal club or pub I would know the type of crowd, age group and music preference before the night, in a swingers club thats impossible so reading the room and going with the flow I find is the only way xxx | |||

"With music you can't please all of the people all of the time. We were in a club 2 weeks ago that played the Nolan Sisters - I'm in the Mood for Dancing (1979, reached number 3 in the charts). If the DJ is friendly you can ask them to play some requests, most will." That's my kind of club. Love the Nolans. | |||

" This is the problem DJ'ing in a swingers club outlined with these two comments above. You listen to a radio stations or go to gigs or nightclubs to listen or dance to certain types of music but in swingers clubs you will find very wide and varied musical tastes. For instance I know a Tgirl who loves heavy rock (five finger death punch) a lady who likes the Nolans & ABBA, a guy into ibiza trace and another guy into 70' glam rock and some else who likes cheese on toast music, like Saturday night & vega boys. It's simply impossible to please everyone and sorry to say some of the younger swingers wouldn't have a clue who Ken Bruce is lol yes a crime but very true unfortunately.
The best you can do is read the room and play to it and to those dancing but even then you get the annoying twitts who bug you with inappropriate requests that ruin the flow of the music.
I have one couple who want The pogues fairytale of new york no matter what time of the year it is and will not leave you alone until you play it!  another who wants there wedding song in there 70's that no ones ever heard of and another person who wants the time warp & YMCA.
Unfortunately some people only want the music they like but as already outlined already unless a specific night like rock or 80's it simply impossible to please everyone. | |||
