DJ doesn't play good music for me...
At my club we have two DJ's. One of them plays really good music for me. At my club the format is where we can only play 15 rap songs a night,which is kind of okay because four years ago when I started at another club rap,hip-hop wasn't allowed til after 12. So anyways,one of DJ's always plays stupid music for me. Though I like pop music and/or any kind of music majority of the time I don't want to dance to Britney Spears or Lady Gaga like seriously. I've addressed the situation more than twice,now I'm getting to the point I hate to tip him extra because it's like he's not respecting my wishes....Ideas?

Can he play R and B for you?
Re: DJ doesn't play good music for me...
I would be straight with him. Tell the DJ you won't tip him more than absolutely necessary unless he starts playing the kind of music you want. And be specific. Tell him exact bands/songs you want played for you. Then, if he does it right, tip him well so he'll keep it up.

Everytime I check in with him I'm like I want r&b,he's like okay but yet when it's my turn I hear some bullshit. And I'm not the type to yell onstage like some girls do about music. Another thing I notice is that he plays songs that I should dance to for the other girls who can't really dance that well.

This.
Are you a new girl? maybe he's just messing with you thinking it's funny. that's what one of the dj's at my club does to girls just for shits and giggles until he gets to know you.
like there is this one girl who likes to dance to fallout boy and chemical romance etc and when she first started he would always play her stupid shit like "my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard" song lol until she talked to him about it and they got to know each other. now he plays her what she wants/the genre she likes. every once in a while just to mess with her he'll play the first 5 seconds on the milkshake song, then play what he was really gonna play. it's so funny to see the look on her face when its her turn on stage and she hears the first part of that song, LOL. it could just be his sense of humor.
but if it's not and he's just being an ass, do what papillonluvr says, and if THAT doesn't work, possibly talk to a manager about it. happy strippers makes a happy club, which makes happy customers.

No I'm not new. Been a couple months that I've been there
Re: DJ doesn't play good music for me...
Money talks and tip him more and he will be more interested in helping you.
I had the same situation, I started tipping him $20 instead of $10 and he started to play what I like.

At many clubs this is still considered new.
Also have you been tipping him enough? Some girls are abit stingy w/ tips & don't realize that their tips are below par. I usually toss a dj $20
Re: DJ doesn't play good music for me...
I used to care more about the music I danced to but now I always tell the DJ to play whatever kind of music he thinks they're going to tip to. If I dance a day shift and there's mostly older gentlemen in there, he better not play some techno or a rap song. Alot of times guys go in the club and want to hear a certain song and are willing to tip just to hear it but the dj can't play that song until a girl is willing to dance to it....
If you can't dance to the music you like ask the customer you're sitting with if he wants to hear a particular song and if he does make sure he tips you well for dancing to it!!
years ago i had a customer who every time he came in there wanted to hear turn the page by bob seger and tipped a 100$ bill for that song only.
Also, shortly after hurricane Katrina when we had alot of blue collar workers down here to clean up I normally never even listen to country music but would bank on "country boy can survive" "save a horse ride a cowboy" even "1 bourbon 1 scotch 1 beer" made it rain for me.
If you can't dance to the music you want but you hear a song you like, tell the customer you're sitting with how much you love that song and wish you could be giving him a table dance to it... (even of you don't like the song that's playing still worth a try??)

My apologies, I registered a couple as in like two months. Almost a year -ok, the guy should be working w/ you on this. Try tossing him a $20 perhaps if you aren't after you talk to him again. If that doesn't work then just stop tipping him completely & drop it. Sometimes, we just have to deal w/ shit.
I work w/ a 3 dif djs -2 of em play exactly what I want. The other is a dif story -so I've had to just get over it, unfortunately. :-\
Good Luck.

Yep. I had 2 DJs at my club. One of them played me awesome music. And then one of them always played me these slow-ass, depressing songs that I didn't even recognize, and I was like "wtf is this!?" I couldn't get my mojo up onstage because the music was ridiculous and I felt like an idiot. I tried re-telling him a couple times exactly what I liked - even threw out a few specific artists. Tipped him more than I was required. He just wasn't getting it. So I just started tipping the good DJ more and him less and sucked it up. I figured I wasn't onstage most of the night anyway.
