I had a pretty good career as a club DJ and I can assure you that the music was not the core competency required for that job. The whole point of having a DJ in the club is to sell food and beverages. I love taking requests personally and interacting with the crowd because giving the people the best and most personal experience is how a club operates. I honestly think your APP is a huge step in the wrong direction. I'd be surprised if you get any traction.
I need to take requests in person, and I'm honest about when or if I will play them. My job is to make the cash registers ring because, the first report an owner will hear is whether or not the bartenders and waitresses are making good tips. If they're not, then straight away the owner examines his nightly sales records and the under performing entertainment is replaced.
Build an App that brings these crucial elements together and then you'll have something far more valuable. For example, a DJ who can bring the crowd with him to a venue is worth far more. It would be more valuable to have an App that informed patrons WHICH disc jockey and at WHAT VENUE a given request is likely to be played, or match their particular music taste. DJs in the loop would then have a running tally of how many potential followers could be seeking them out on any given night at a venue where they appear
