So i've been DJ'ing at a local bar in my town for a month now and I've realized that i need to know more genre's than i initially thought there was.
So basically, there's this same woman who comes up to me just as i'm starting for the night and asks for me to play some 'Old School (Skool)?'
So i said, "Old School what?" and she replied with "You know, old school 90's stuff". Not knowing what she meant, i tried to clamber for anything labeled '90's' on the hard drive that's collected songs over the years, although this is pretty un-professional, i'd play a couple of tracks and see how she and everyone else reacted. It was sadly a no go when the Acid squelch started to beam out of the speakers. So she'd come up again and ask for artists like 'Faithless' and 'Tim Berg' and a few more which i couldn't quite make out.
Being born midway through the 90's, i have no idea what she means or what it is i'm supposed to be looking out for. Although i could just find every artist similar to Faithless and Tim Berg, i wouldn't know quite where to start in looking for the popular tracks all this audience would like and could unkowingly end up playing the one 16 min long instrumental track no one really liked.
So any help on artists names and/ or songs, or maybe even a bracket of years to research eg(1998 - 2003) would be much appreciated! :)
Just a side note. This is my first time posting a thread so my apologies if this is in the wrong group/ sub group for this particular question.
