Maybe this is up for discussion, but I am simply looking for a yes or no answer. If you consider yourself a Christian and you would buy quality Christian Dance music before secular music, answer yes or no.

I'd like to think it still exists.

Define "market" are we talking fan base or the industry numbers that show that there is enough of a fan base to justify shelf space?

I don't know about you, but the shelf space in CBA stores here in Atlanta is getting smaller and smaller. Even Christian rock is taking up less space.

Maybe not necessarily shelf space, since CD's are a dying format. Just keep it simple Dave. Are there people willing to buy Christian Dance music, regardless of what format. MP3, Cd, Vinyl...pretend they are all equal for the sake of argument. I am doing research and trying to figure something out.

A better question is: Is there enough of a market made of those who specifically seek out Christian EDM?

um... I'm serious.
 I'll be real blunt right here.  Chris you want desperately to be a legit DJ right... just play the best tunes.  You may someday get to where you want to go DJ-wise but if you stopped with the Christian/Secular division then you have a chance to do some better things.


I dunno...just seen some recent threads from you about needing a manager and then this.  I think you are pretty confused or just not listening about what it actually takes to succeed.  And for the record I am not saying I am succeeding.  I am a struggling DJ like 95% or more of the DJs on tasty.  I just really really bust my booty to even get one single gig.

This thread is so early 2000's...there I said it.

I probably made an enemy or two right now....

Doug this thread seriously has nothing to do with what I want to do as a DJ. I am 100% sure of what I want as a DJ. I was simply asking is there still people who are willing to buy Dance music released from a Christian label. You and Dave are WAY over complicating my question. You are looking too deep and trying to find something wrong with my question.
