I'm not looking into spinning CD's or records. Everytime I've been hired so far, it's because of the empeg. Someone can request a song, chances are that I have it - and I can queue it up before they return to the dance floor. Requests and variety are really my strong points right now. I havn't been playing to the techno or club scenes, so beat matching and the like havn't come up.

So far, 1/2 the jobs I get are at bars, so they have their own equipment to plug into. For those jobs, I don't need anything more than what I already have.

But then there are the "other" jobs where I'm just given a foldup table or booth to stand in...
