It's a fine line that DJ's walk when they're trying to please the entertainers and keep up the general mood of the club.
I gave my DJ's control after having to fill in myself one night. What a freaking nightmare! Having a girl request a song (Turn the Page by Metallica) knowing it would bring down the mood is a sticky situation. Especially since she was a top money maker. The crowd was leaning more towards a "Magic Carpet Ride" or "American Band" type of classic rock scene.
Solution? I explained the situation and offered to substitute another Metallica song for her. She chose "Enter Sandman" and everyone was happy.
Everyone has to be professional and understand the marketing aspect of the job.
