If you've got a lot more fights, you have to consider the format that the club plays. Not to be racist, but when you play a predominantly urban format (hip-hop, rap, etc.), you get gangstas, wannabe gangstas, and the associated hos who hang around them in one enclosed area, and it's an easy recipe for fights.
There was a club I spun at a long time ago. When I had the Friday nights, I played mostly house music & upbeat (120+ bpm) Top 40. Didn't have a problem, it was always classy.
Thursday nights, when they played hip-hop & rap, always had fights. When they moved the format to the full weekend (Thu-Sat, mostly urban music), it was the death knell that caused the club to gain a reputation of fights and douchery. The ladies didn't feel comfortable, so they stopped coming, which in turn meant the guys stopped coming, and soon it was only the gangstas, wannabe-g's, and tourists who didn't know any better who came...
Need to get warmed up & in-state for the weekend? Have some sticking points or questions? Get answers and into state at my weekly flashchat with Ice, every Wednesday at 9pm Eastern, 6pm Pacific, 4pm Hawaii time.
