Do you charge less to play what you want?

By DJ Forge

This is something I’ve been curious about lately in regard to playing night club venues.  I’m sure those of us who play the clubs regularly have nights where we cater to the crowd more than usual [mostly on the weekend] and hopefully charging more for those kinds of gigs.  My question for everyone is this though, do you charge less to play what you love to play?

For example, my favorite genres to play are hip-hop [non commercial stuff] and r&b/soul so when a gig comes along that allows me to play those genres all night without catering to the crowd, I generally charge less. Just wondering if I’m the only one or if that’s common?
