Ive started to work in the Strip Club, and having a hard time to please the girls. They wanna hear crap like Slipnot, hard rock. The clubs that i have been to around dont play that. they play like top 40 and rap, and classic rock. What is some of the playlist that you have. Or some of the music you would suggest.

I dj'd a strip club years ago, and it was the same thing, some dance and mainstream, but most of the girls wanted to hear rock or metal.
 
You may want to go listen to other DJs who have the Strip Club format down (take a pen and jot down patricular songs and reactions).
You'd be surprised how your playlist starts improving when you listen to verteran DJ's that have been playing the same type venue you are now in.

Good luck.
 
Yea ive done that. I hear the top 40 rap and classic rock. the girls here wanna hear the Hard rock i dont get it. with the demo that is in here is older. the owners what what i play but the girls say this is what all ALL places do.

The owners hired you, not the girls...this is simple from my perspective. I would talk to the owners and inform them that you are going to start telling the girls this is the music the owners want played. That way your making the boss happy, and letting the girls know its out of your hands. Simple, you just removed yourself from the middle of the situation, and might curry favors from the girls who would want you to bend the rules.
 

Keep the girls happy and play what they want to hear ... if you don't have it or don't know ask every stripper for 10 favorite songs then buy em ... They are the ones getting naked an shaking there ass and that's the only reason there are any customers in the place.

No one cares about the music in a strip club or about mixing skills .. they care about the strippers.

And you really want the strippers to like you ... its great advertisement for doing bars / clubs .... theirs nothing like booking a "regular" gig and having 20 off duty strippers showing up and dancing for you ... bars will be blowing your phone up to hire you.

If its a choice between keeping the owners happy or the strippers ... keep the strippers happy .. they will get you more work then the owner.
 
i used to do skateboard demos and the best thing i did was let the skaters give me songs and i would play them when they skated.... some of the songs were crap and the emcee would say ' sorry guys he picked it'
 
totally with Terry on this, it def' looks like the girls are playing you along even seems like they could have a hidden agenda...
 
actually i do say do what the owner says..... strippers are a dime a dozen
 
Having worked at a strip club for over 2 years (split up two periods of employment)

Feature dancers.

Play a set for em. Talk with them find out they're credits (playboy, penthouse, Stripper contests) and announce them.

For the floor girls, they'll dance to anything as long as the guys are paying for the lap dances. Most dancers will prefer the bump and grind of slower hip hop. The guys AKA the ones paying the bills will prefer Rock music.

Roll it in sets

5-6 Hip hop tunes
2-3 rock songs
1 HEAVY metal tune
2,3 house songs

Repeat ad Nausium.

This won't keep everyone totally happy But it will keep them from beating a path to the DJ booth to tell you how and what to play.

The BEST thing you can do in a strip club is learn to talk on the mic. The better your mic work, the better the tips flowing to the dancers AND waitresses, The more they'll leave you alone.

Oh yeah
Don't hit on them all the time. They get that from the customers and won't appreciate it coming from you.

Have fun.
 
I've never worked in a strip club as a "DJ or as a "stripper" but I have been to many as a consumer of the "fine art".
One thing I've always noticed is the girls are always dancing to some crappy rock song.

My observations are:

Strippers prefer to be called "dancers" but rarely do you see one that can actually dance. Most don't seem to have a lot talent when it comes to music selection either. And I agree a DJ should not hit on the "dancers"..... this is why I'm there spending my hard earned money so back off dammit!

do what the owner(s) want .

make it a point to pull aside the owner(s) and managers and prove you play the right music : do this at reasonable intervals and in front of a dancer or two when possible.

the STRIPPERS or "sperm burping" losers are not professional dancers.... they aren't prepared with there own music , they can't dance , and they have no regard for the customers .....as Marcel pointed out those would be the guys paying for everything .......

they (STRIPPERS) ARE NOT working class heroes fighting the brave struggle against male oppression .....they have no goals that high , although they are high

75% of them or more do drugs , a percentage of that does an amazing amount of drugs (i don't mean the occasional dube like moi ) and there are always some who aren't gonna make it to the grand old age of 40 .......there are some where the drugs and desperation is making all the decisions

these females have made MANY bad decisions previously , that is how they came to be at this low station in life

gentlemen???? i can relay with a 100% certainty that they are no better in the sack than the normal ladies in the general population ...

let's talk about music and work environment ....

those of us with a bit of the middle class , working class who are used to getting up in the morning , go to work , not expecting any free rides ,expecting a little teeny bit of normal chit chat , pleasantries , manners , decorum , a slightest whiff of the golden rule ???? you are in for a brutal shock at the strip club ......it's wall to wall trailer park

there are NO professionals anywhere .... the uneducated general mgr used to be head bouncer, the bar babes used to dance , and the managers qualifications are they used to be customers that the gm liked ........

your only hope at survival is to make sure the mgrs and owners approve of your music , and say nice things about the bar babes and strippers on the mic ..........you have to actually bypass the strippers entirely and make sure customers , bar babes , and ownership/management likes you .... this way the strippers are powerless ; you don't want your status depending on how chlamydia feels about you , especially when she really needs a fix .....

well, that's the work environment , hope you make employee of the month

the music ......

again Marcel had good advice ......mix it up something like he said , adjust to taste as need be for your world class venue .......

sources for the music ???? good ol' promo only's ....urban radio, urban club, mod rock , a latin series,a club series ...that'll doya .....that covers everything except classic rock .......that would be the stuff where people sing and play instruments and there are no explicit versions ?
lotsa lists and advice available if you need it ..... please don't tell me you need it .....

welp that's my advice , sorry if i seemed hard on the sperm burpers or the hic management .....take care of the customers ,they are the only ones there besides you that no why they are there or what they are doing
 
Jeez, make's you glad we live in the UK.. lol
 
hey Tayla ! Merry Christmas !

i play yer "closer " at the club ... it's great

sorry about my strip club review ... the women and etc are pretty gritty ...... it's a tough place to thrive at

the only semblance of normality obtains from the customers, believe me
 
CHUCKERS!!!!!!

Good to see you again buddy.

Merry Christmas to you and yours!!!


how's fred the kitten?

Yep too right, where have you been hiding mate.
 
i guess it depend on how much you want the girls to tip at the end of the night!!! i only play what they want and try to put girls that dance to hip hop together and so on. my opinion its all about the girls in strip clubs and the customes really could care less about what music is being played.
 
hi chuck, been missing some of that acid whip of yours lately and rick's, where you been hiding? glad to here your still enjoying and using the vid, still proud of that one, lol, have to make you a new one soon that one must be nearly a year old now (throw me some ideas and i see what i can come up with).
