My wife and I were talking,,,,, how much do you edit or play edited songs at clubs?
Do you worry about the swearing? Do you avoid it?

How Far Do You Push It?

Most of my stuff is edited anyway, but I do play some pretty offensive music at a bar that I would never play at a wedding.
I DJ at clubs every week and 80% of it is UN-edited. The only clean stuff I play at the club's are the Funkymix's.
Insight (?)
I've never spun in a bar, but I see the reaction that songs like GIMME THAT NUT receive in bars.
I don't think that the reaction would be the same at most weddings.
But I could never imagine going to a bar and hearing the EDITED version of that song.
Eh?

I think bar crowds...
...expect to hear the "real" stuff. After all, everyone is over 21 and are in a bar drinking and smoking. Hearing the nasty words in songs doesn't bother anyone that I'm aware of. I always wait until after 11 to play them... to give the teetotalers time to leave.
I always play "Closer" and "Crazy Bitch" at my gigs. My crowds love them and fill the floor with they hear these songs.

All my club music is un-edited. If I play the "clean" version, customers complain that I don't play the "REAL" versions. I you go to the clubs to play with the adults, then you better be prepared to hear the "adult" versions! lol
I play all on unedited this is why when I assist at other functions I use a library from the DJ I am assisting. I have even swapped once, Another DJ had double booked a bar show and school dance. At the time I was technically to young to be in a bar so we switched, I gave him my library for his bar gig and I took his to the school dance.
I've gotten complaints for playing clean versions, generally I try to keep it clean until 11 PM, you never know when kids are lingering around. After 11, anything goes pretty much.

There are some songs like, Akon - I Wanna Love You
The real version is I Wanna **** You, when I play that the whole crowd sings along and yells "I WANNA **** YOU". I couldn't image playing the clean version of that song.
There is a house (electronic) song that's called "Call You My B****". Again, I could never play the clean at a club.

Someone else had said it. The only edited stuff I play is:
A: The clean version is the only version I own.
B: A Funkymix or X-Mix Version of a song.
