Seems to be a number of different types of DJ here. Want to know how many are actually actively gigging out.
Me I am a Club/Bar DJ. Even though I quit my weekly, I still have a monthly gig. Mainly open format, but I tend to lean towards the electro and house side. I also do mobile from time to time.

I've played in a club three times, one wedding, more than ten house parties. I am producing radio spots and am starting to make music.
...so yeah, 'other'
I swear we've done this before.

I chose "Combo Club/Bar and Prod," although technically I do a bit more.
Over the years, I've done mobile DJing (mainly 1989-2012), radio DJing (1991-1992), club/venue DJing (2003-present), and production/remixing (1999-present). I was even active on the journalism side, with a "remix review" column that ran in Karaoke + DJ USA magazine back in the late 1990s.
These days, I will do the occasional club/venue gig (usually for "retro" nights, but not always), and I produce/remix occasionally. I still have the equipment to do mobile gigs and will, every once in a while, haul the gear out to DJ at a house party or other such event.

I consider myself retired kinda, because I no longer look to play out ever since I relocated, although I would if something landed on my lap with no effort from me.
I do still dig for tracks, play my FW show and mess with Ableton Live. Would that make me bedroom DJ again?

Used to be a club DJ, but as I got older I just couldn't take week in and week out of the nightlife scene. Now I just do it for fun at home, but I spend more time on production now than I do with DJing.
I chose other. I would prefer to be a club DJ but the mobile gigs are the ones paying. Don't really enjoy the mobile gigs (music, crowds, setups and tear downs) but at least they're gigs.
I make it a point to at least do 4 shows a week, and its been working out pretty good I've actually been making enough bread to quit my real job if I want to. Im gonna work my way up in the curcit face and start playing big clubs in denver. And if shit works out great 1320 here I come. ^_^
