Reply to How did you choose a genre to mix?

Hello all, I thought I would open a question thread as I'm very interested to hear other's opinions on the topic:

When you first started mixing/djing, how did you decide on the genre you wanted to mix primarily? Did you ever have a few different styles that you wanted to specialise in, but felt you were forced to go down one direction, rather than pursue both?

My example is that I love the techno style of DJs such as Loco Dice, but I also love bouncier, bass driven house/techno (like that of the Dirtybird crew). I'm just not sure I'll be able to combine the two into my sets and will probably have to look deeper and decide on one if I want to get shows hosted by certain labels etc. I love all electronic music, from dubstep and Drum and Bass to garage and house, but my interests lay mainly in house and techno!

I would love to hear your opinions!
