Because of the dress code at my club, the "thug" types leave before coming in. If they do try to come in, they don't feel comfortable and leave or get tossed. Honestly, early in the day it works best for us if the music is kept lower. Late at night, in a club full of younger folks it really needs to be loud.
Superdude, I plan on attending that convention for the first time this year. Thanks to everyone who posted on this thread. Now that I have more experience, I've gone back and reread some of your posts here and realize how spot on they were.
I hear what you guys are saying, and appreciate the counter points. That's why I visit this site. But here's some more candor for you George, lol...most of the people on this site are strip club vets that know all of our tricks that are designed to get customers to spend. You folks here see through all that. But the truth is, most people coming in are not people with that kind of experience.
Speaking as a club operator, I can tell you that any DJ I employ has to speak in a way that the crowd can understand him. Its my number one priority, without a doubt. After that, it's can he keep the energy level up. While that may not be essential in many clubs, in mine it is. We don't get a lot of men coming in just looking to get their rocks off. Here, it's more of an entertainment destination. We get big groups of 5-15 young people coming in after work for a show. Having a good DJ is HUGE. He must be entertaining. Finding a DJ like that is exceptionally difficult. It's ten times easier to find hot dancers than it is to find a great DJ, at least in my market. As for the volume of the music, it's typically kept loud for many reasons. Energy level is one, for sure. The other is that it gives a sense of intimacy because you and your dancer have to talk into each others ears to hear each other. In other words, it makes you guys sit very close to each other!
