I think Party DJ's should focus on the lowest common denominator. Worry about getting huge speakers, overblown bass sub, crazy lighting effects and voice transformers for their vocal mic. Seems people in general with bad taste in music gravitate towards either bad Euro-trash rave/trance music or Mexican-polka... those are where a whole amount of gigs out there are right now.
If you're dj'ing hip-hop you can always buy those premade mix-tapes and 99% of the dancers out there could care less you're not mixing songs. I would tend to believe that they don't care so much about your flashy dj tricks and care more about having loud sounds and being able to request some obscure early 90s hi-NRG track, something from a crappy DJ they heard played Ibiza, something they heard on Caliente or the Memin show, or anything by the KLF...
That's if you're djing for the money and not the for musical purposes.
