yup, a small town in east texas. i've been playing on saturdays for almost 2 years. it's the only gay club within an 80 mile radius.
so, my question is...
what do you think i should play? what would your impression of the crowd and the music be, just based on the little you might know about the area?
cause i'm still amazed at the amount of ignorance and bad taste.

Haha, get a record with steel guitar, and something of the area, then match the bpm to a beat record, scratch it like a mosquito bite, make some countrybreaks.

here's what it's really like...
the club is about 90% gay men, 2% lesbian, and about 8% women who hang out with gay men to look cool cause they are too fat to have any straight guys around them.
of the gay men, about 75% are black. some of them look tough and street like the houston rappers they emulate. some of them are well-groomed pretty boys.
then there are the older, white guys.
not a single cowboy in sight. not even a cowboy hat has passed through those doors in 2 years.
and there is a biker bar right next door.
the music i play is all over the place. the music they dance to is only hip hop or top 40 pop stuff. ONLY!
they don't dance to anything else.

I don't know what to say then. Get a few hard-drives of popular good stuff, and take requests?

I would try to find some cool disco and club trax from the 70's and early 80's... most gay people love that... Check out this collection of classics by Jeff Mills!
And then there is this compilation of Arthur Russell's club music.. He was gay too!
Carl Craig has collected some of his favorite "Funk" tracks on this compilation.
If I were to play a gay club I would definitely bring those three discs along.. Try it and good luck!
