Christmas music
It turns me into a crappy wedding DJ.
Don't get me wrong, I quite like some of it. I set it to play and wake me up Christmas day. A bit of John Lennon, some Wham!. Maybe a bit of Shakin' Stevens and Paul McCartney.
But as a DJ, it turns me into a crappy wedding DJ.
I want to play upfront music, r&b mostly and I like my funky house. It's what I normally play. But then December arrives and I have to play Christmas music mainly for the benefit of Christmas parties. And then it all goes wrong.
For instance, if I have to play Shakin' Stevens, I have to work it in and work it out. I can't be playing r&b and hip hop and stick some 50 Cent on straight after Shakin' Stevens. I have to surround it with similar music, so I end up playing a few 80's tracks.
My transformation to crappy wedding DJ is then complete.
