Does Prince still get played in clubs?

i ask this of u all b'coz i was out all night last nite clubbin...
at 3 clubs i asked the Dj if he could spin "Gett Off" 4 me,
& they all say pretty much the same thing & nearly laugh at ya like:
"hehe nah i dont play no Prince,sorry man".

then i just ask 4 an LL Cool J track & i get "Paradise"
disbelief


I say every DJ should be given instead of a diploma at the end of DJing 101,a copy of the GettOff 12" & spin that badass PurplePump mix every hour on the hour!

hehe ok so now maybe i am getting carried away (hmmm nah i dunno lol )

but am i the only one who gets this being in Australia?

seems P doesnt get the respect he deserves & i am sure if the Dj's spun trax like GettOff,Days O' Wild,Sexy MF,18 & Over,Joint2Joint,Hot Thing,etc... that they would get a crowd movin as much as the latest Nelly or Xtina or Timberlake track would.

peace
heart ,
Joshy

If u want a Prince track spun in a Sydney club these days, the only place u can get it is at either a Retro club, or the various "80's nights" clubs have usually on during the week.

(unless it's a dance club and they play one of those white label remixes).

Otherwise - NO

I recently heard techno tracks remixes of Controversy and Lovebyzare. Kiss is a classic played about every 80's night party. By the way, do the DJ's play JAnet Jackson, Beatles or Hendreix or even recent Madona stuff? No, they play tech House or commercial tunes.

for the most part, i only ever hear his music in the 80's rooms of clubs. once in a while i hear the techno remix of kiss or the new white label version of controversy (which is pretty hot too).

Depends on what type of club you go to.If you go to a techno-type club,you won't hear any Prince.But I've gone to clubs that play R&B/hip-hop and I've been pleasantly surprised when the DJ played "Erotic City" and "Kiss".

I was at LoDo Bar and Grill in Denver (which turns into a night club after 9 on the weekends) they played Pussy Control. I couldn't believe it when I heard it but it was great hearing one of my favorite jams at the club. dancing jig

"Pussy Control" gets played every time I go out and "Kiss" gets a lot of play as well. They even busted "Erotic City" last month. If you're a regular club-goer, you get more perks. biggrin

Compared to other 80s artists MJ or Madonna's old stuff, I do not hear very much Prince stuff, but that rareness makes it all the more special for me when I do hear it.

Not a big club guy in the last year or so, but a couple years ago I heard "Erotic City" in a club for the late 20s/early 30s demographic (I'm 22 but I was there for a friend's friend's birthday).

Other songs I have heard in mainstream clubs: "Kiss" "P Control"

So it is not unlike the songs everyone else hears. I am in the Canadian midwest.

Erotic City i heard in a club about 6months ago.
i asked the DJ if he had any Prince & he said Erotic City.
i danced my ass off 2 that one!

it was cool cos another dude on the floor noticed the gold prince around my neck,so we were both wrapped when EC was played.
tho his fave track was 'Head' & didnt know what NPGMC was so im guessing he's just a hits fan.
was still cool

i dj at a couple of different clubs here... and the only songs that get requested are the usual:: "p control" (a LOT), "kiss", "cream" and "erotic city". every now and then i will play some of the earlier stuff (i wanna be your lover, controversy, when doves cry) if i feel that the dancefloor isn't going to die because of it. played "u got the look" a week ago (just cuz i felt like hearing it) and strangely enough, got the dancefloor started. razz didn't think it would do it!

If you are going to clubs where the crowd is 21-28 then problably no. But most of the clubs I go to and the ones I spin at cater to 30+ crowds. We play a mix of new shit and old. Prince gets played in those a lot. I even had folks jammin to 1+1+1=3 two years ago when it came out. People don't normally like to dance to shit they don't know but a good dee jay knows how to get around this. The secret with 1+1+1 is mix it into Erotic City. The just kep on dancing until the realize it's a different song. By that time they figure "This shit is funky so what the hell" dancing jig
