 Lmao I cant really turn and burn techno like I can drum and bass or bass music. Gotta mix like a house DJ for this set.

 You can't go wrong with a bit of #Techno. I produce it😬🥁. 
 Hell yeah. I mostly make psy and drum and bass. Buuut I got asked to play some techno this time around.  
 I'm cool with anything that has good rhythm, so I'm somewhat genre-agnostic. However, I've seen so many DJ friends play to the crowd most of the night, then play the last 15 (or so) minutes of the dirty stuff they personally like. Almost every time, the crowd gets down harder for the stuff that was thought to be too extreme for them. It could be that increased drunkeness plays a factor, but I think there's more to the vibe than what the cones push. 
 That's funny, I'm almost the exact opposite. I play whatever the fuck I want crowds be damned. I do try to match the vibe of the event, so for instance the event I'm playing is a house show, which is why I'm not doing drum and bass.

Like, im playing techno, but I tend to lean towards the darker, heavier kind of music, and I'm also playing at 1am, so that's what they're getting.  
 I do have other DJ friends that have a signature style, and they don't deviate. I admire each of those methods.  Getting to know each person's craft has always been fascinating to me.
