Most ridiculous comment/request ever made to you while djing?

Kool DJ Sheak One 8:38 PM - 15 September, 2006
I have had the most amazingly ridiculous comments made to me almost on a weekly basis,Like: "Do you have anything funky?"
(while im playing James Brown). Or "Do you have something I can dance to?"(while everyone is dancing). Or the classic "Do have any Hip-Hop?(while your playing Jay-Z etc.)
Just when I think I have heard it all, some genius comes at me with some crazy statements.
And now with serato, I get the two guys: the know it all, who says"this guy has every song ever recorded on his computer!"
And the other guy who cant handle the concept of serato and asks questions like"is that like an ipod player?"
Anybody else have some classic drunk people phrases?

It's my birthday, come dance with me...
DeezNotes 8:48 PM - 15 September, 2006
Can you play (insert song here that doesn't go with whatever it is you're currently playing)? I'm about to leave and I want to hear it before we go.

Hows about you stay at the damn party like everyone else and you MIGHT get to hear your song if you leave me the hell alone!?
djaction 8:50 PM - 15 September, 2006
"Play that NEW song about my grills!" (this was like 2 weeks ago)

"Play Some Hip-Hop!" (while ATCQ - Scenario is playing)..

"Play The 50 CENT BIRTHDAY SONG" (This is like a weekly occurence)

I gotta start writing this ish down.
birdbrain 8:50 PM - 15 September, 2006
the best is when i'm with people making these requests to other people and i just haveto hang my head.

I was Djing a house party about a month ago. Was spinning mostly underground hip hop/ golden era ish.. there were a lot of cats breaking, and they were damn good. Every five minutes the same 3 girls would walk right through the middle of the circle, come up to me, and ask me to play Sexyback! the first two times I told them I would play that stuff later. after they asked 6 times in a half hour ....I never played it! Something about that song bugs me ever since!
Kool DJ Sheak One 9:20 PM - 15 September, 2006
We need to make t-shirts with some of these quotes. Shit is comedy.

tig ol' bitties 9:45 PM - 15 September, 2006
At a Harvard Party I DJ'd:

Dude:
"Did you know most people here are european"
Me:
"Nah, whats that supposed to mean?"
Dude:
"We like Techno, thats what it means"
Me:
"I wasnt hired to play techno, I was hired to play hip hop and throw in some 80's along the way"
Dude:
"but we all want tachno, this hip hop shit sucks"
Me:
"You paying me?"
Dude:
"No"
Me:
"ok, so why dont you shut up and go fuck your self" (mind you the dude was giving me the nasty attitude)

it worked so thats all that counts, I think he left, which is all the better.

Dj Ryme 10:21 PM - 15 September, 2006
Last night I got "can you play that new song by little joc"

and also last night some white guy comes up requesting bay area shit, he goes do you have any mac dre, I said "no", do you have any keek da sneek? I said "no". So then I throw on corey harts sunglasses at night to make him get half way happy until he realized it wasnt what he thought it was :)

And that was just last night!

Im DJing @ a Bar in a college area and some old guy, shit at least 60, comes up to the booth and asks for Gap Band -Burn Rubber on Me, Im like "No sorry i dont have that, I play Top 40, Hip Hop, R&B, all the newer stuff"
He fuckin pops a boner and goes off telling me " No You fucking have that song i know it... now play it, " Now he's really angry and his one eye is about to pop out. Im like "holy shit, who the hell are you guy" He was escorted out, last I ever saw him there. Seriously though, he really wanted to pick a fight with me.

DJ Sheak One, I want in on that T shirt deal.
My best request... "Can you play something decent"
My Reply ........"Yeah I dont think I have that, Who's it by or how does it go" While I'm playing Usher Yeah. WTF
joerockets 12:37 AM - 16 September, 2006
"Can you play some E-40?" while "I Hope I Don't Go Back" is blaring over the speakers
DJ_Mike_Coquilla 12:38 AM - 16 September, 2006
^^ that'd be funny if that dude had ssl and handed u a thumb drive with that song, or better yet, forced you to prove it by searching/finding that song by keyword... and you did have it :)


seriously though, i too hate aggressive people and their requests. if people were nice and friendly and just politely asked, i would play it, but if they were hella irate...
m0rph! 12:42 AM - 16 September, 2006
If anyone wants a good t-shirt, my boy sent me this link the other day:

here's a wedding story with a nice quote in it -

i'm doing a relatively classy wedding at one of the top rated catering halls in this area. i would have to guess i've got somewhere between 250-300 guests, which is fairly large for our area.

the father of the bride comes up and requests a doo wop song. sure, no problem. pop it on. everybody's happy.

10 minutes later, he asks for another. again, no problem.

so now we're done with some formalities and i get everybody up to dance. a little bit of disco and funk is what's happening. he SPRINTS over to the dj booth and asks me:

"what the fuck happened to the doo wop????"
"huh? i played both of your songs... i can play a few more later on if you'd like"
"fuck that. right now. i want doowop all night"
"but your daughter and her spouse have requests they want to hear, and i have 300 people that want to dance"
"fuck them, i'm paying for this shit. doowop. no more requests."
"uhh, alright sir"

as soon as i said sir he screamed at me - he thought i said 'son' and freaked out. took a swing at me and shit. my MC grabbed him and calmed him down. pretty fucked up right? so i decieded to ruin that wedding. 4 hours of fucking doowop. i played 16 candles at a wedding.

people were coming up asking for dance music and i told them i wasnt allowed. the bride and groom were so mortified they didnt even come up to us.
CMS 3:35 PM - 17 September, 2006
@ Telos,

That's why I hate DJing weddings. They may pay more than my residency at the local club, but I don't have to deal with shit like that.
Julls 3:38 PM - 17 September, 2006
Telos,

I would have done the same thing. Good on you bro!
Kool DJ Sheak One 5:20 PM - 17 September, 2006
Weddings suck! You got two sides of the family telling you different things.
My favorite wedding quote"Do you like this shit?...Well nobody here likes this shit!"(comin from an 80 year old).
Dj Ace 6:06 PM - 17 September, 2006
'while standing behind the turntables setting a blend'- Hey are you the DJ?
Dj Ace 6:09 PM - 17 September, 2006
The funniest thing is I told him I wasn't the DJ and to ask the bartender to show him were the music was coming from!
DJ Nevoc 11:06 PM - 17 September, 2006
I did a wedding a couple weeks ago and as Im standing there mixing, there girl comes up...

girl: "You the DJ?"

me: "Ya."

girl: "Are you sure, cause if your not I'll drag your ass out
to the parking lot and run you over with my expedition."

me: "I'm positive."

girl: "Ok here is your money."

Whigger: "Can you play GOLD DIGGER?" - this happend like two months ago...
Julls 1:14 AM - 18 September, 2006
LOL @ Gold Digger. That shits funny.
Lando 1:15 AM - 18 September, 2006
While spinning last weekend, full of old school go-go/house/hip hop heads, one of the waiters asks me if I could play some Johnny Cash or Dolly Parton (mind you, the floor is packed). When I told him "no", he asked where were my CD's and CD player (right when I'm blending "treat em right instrumental" and "knee deep"....didn't know older folks could get hyped like THAT), c'mon man, ?????????????
TelosHedge 1:24 PM - 18 September, 2006
oh, i love it when people come up to me while i'm mixing. it's my favorite.

i do some acapella/instrumental blending and some of it gets a little difficult for me - and still people always know to come up during the hardest shit that i do and want to start talking about how ugly their kids are.

i think i'm gonna get a big red neon MIXING light and tape it to my head so people know to leave me alone.
ral 3:17 PM - 18 September, 2006
you still use turntables???
dcquik 3:36 PM - 18 September, 2006
can you play that one song? umm i forgot what it was called.
DjEmmTee 3:48 PM - 18 September, 2006
the best one is at 9pm, you get some chick that comes up and says your playing all the old shit, can you play sexy back and then promiscuous girl?
DJ_Mike_Coquilla 5:14 PM - 18 September, 2006
(10minutes after request....) how about when they be EYEBALLING you across the dance floor giving hand signals and sign language, trying to communicate with you "so like r u gonna play that song or what?"
djaction 5:24 PM - 18 September, 2006
"Can you play some dance music?"

(in the middle of THE PERCULATOR; people going bananas all over the place too)
dj solomon 5:54 PM - 18 September, 2006
i've pretty much taken to ignoring everyone... i make em wait at least 5 min before they can talk to me. Usually about 3 min is all they can handle in their drunken state, so they just walk away looking all frusterated and go tell their friends what an ass i am or how rude i am that i cant give them their full undivided attention.
Then when that one girl finally has the patience to wait out my little stream of mixes until i let one song play out she says: do you take requests
me: no
her: ok well can you play sexy back coz what you're playing right now is really slow and my girls and i wanna dance because its my friends birthday (as Im playing about 120BPM)

I, at that point just look and laugh and go back to what i am doing. Most of this riduculous request shit is happening because everyone is too nice and accomidating to drunk ass people and now its like if i dont take 50 request per hour as the human jukebox im an asshole for trying to do my job.
I try to break it down to non djs like this. Lets say someone works in an office doing spreadsheats, imagine if some drunk ass dood walked into your office off the street and started leaning over you tapping you on the sholder ever 2 minutes, going... "no dont put a number in there, that number is all wrong, you are using the wrong equations..." while having no idea what they are even talking about. That would pretty much suck huh.

Well that is what is going on for us every night my friends... ITS TIME TO TAKE A STAND. people will only stop requesting stupid shit if you stop being so damn accomidating to everyone...
so do eveyone a favor and start ingnoring the folks that you know are gonna as some stupid ass question like:
can you play sexy back
can you play some hiphop

or my favorite:

wiil you play some GOOD music!

DJ MAC com au 12:09 AM - 19 September, 2006
This thread is cracking me up! It seems that club patrons all around the world have the same dumb ass questions . . . lol

I worked for this promoter for a couple of years that would have a few drinks and then for the rest of the night would come up and request songs that I was actually playing at the time. It was like he would hear the track and that would remind him that he liked it and then he would come and request it. At the start I used to argue with him trying to explain that the track he was asking for was actually playing right now . . . eventually I realised to just telling him "no problem, coming up soon!" Lol

My other favourite is when you get a girl come up and say "I heard you play *insert random track here* but I was in the bathroom, can you play it again now?" (2 mins after I just played it).

My standard response to all these dumb requests is "Sorry I don't have it, but I'll bring it for you next week!" They go away happy and they're always too drunk to remember next week!

Mac
dj trends 12:44 AM - 19 September, 2006
When people ask for shit i dont want to play i always say i dont have it... strangely when they ask for shit that i dont have i always say i have it.. My favorite is after a couple "i dont have that's" they respond with "what do you have?" like i have 45 minutes to list off the 4,000 songs in my computer.
DJ_Mike_Coquilla 1:01 AM - 19 September, 2006
necessity is the mother of invention.

seems like this is one of the main pet peeves that most DJs suffer from.

i wonder if someone has already invented a stand alone hand held device that you can attach a cable lock to so u can carry around from gig to gig. a device that folks who have the itch to request, can view. this device will be wireless/bluetooth, that lists the songs in your arsenal....categorized. also will keep track of what you just played, how many times u played, and the next time u plan to play.

These are 3 of my favorites....

Girl: Can you play something different?
Me: Ok, what do you want me to play?
Girl: I don't know, just not this...something different.

or...

Dude: Bro, do you have the new track by "Insert local street rapper name"
Me: No I don't think I have it.
Dude: If I get the cd out of my car can you play it?
Me: Ummm no.

Lastly, we have all heard this I don't care where you dj at...

Girl: Can you play song #8 from the Pussycat Doll CD? (Insert any track number and any artist on this one)
Me: I only have track #2 will that work? (I make up any track number since I have no fu*#ing clue what song track number 8 or 2 are)

Of course if the girl is hot I might humor her through some of these answers and actually try and play what she wants. Unless it's too much work and she's that dumb then I just give up and go back to mixing. HaHa...
MusicMeister 2:34 PM - 19 September, 2006
Drunk patron: Can you play <insert artist here>?
(note: the artist is CURRENTLY playing)
DJ: Uh, that's what I'm playing...
Drunk patron: Yea, but not this song.


Patron: Can you play this (handing me a burned CD)? It's a super secret underground release of (insert well-known dead rapper's name here) that's super hot. The DJ last night played it!

Me: I'll see if I can work it in. (I listen to a couple tracks - it's ok, but not remotely danceable!).

Patron (comes up a couple time while I'm searching through the tracks to find 'something' I can play off this stupid disk): You gonna play that?

Me: I thought you said there were some good tracks on the CD!

I then sat the CD on the floor, rubbed it back and forth with my foot, and told him it was scratched up the next time he came up. Ok, I didn't rub it on the floor, but I sure as hell wanted to...

I DJ'ed this housewarming party at my homegirl's house in Baltimore County this past Sat. night. While I was in the middle of an old-school dancehall reggae set, this big ass dude in a black fitted hat and all-black tee comes BEHIND the table i had my set up on, puts his arm around me like we're brothers or somethin, and was like "Yo man, you got any YO GOTTI?" . .I was like, "Um......NO" He responded, "Man you gotta play some GANGSTA SH*T up in here man, I'm tellin you! You play some gangsta sh*t like "Money in the Bank (Lil Scrappy/Young Buck)" right now, and this party will be jumpin man!"
Meanwhile, every girl AT the party was on the dance floor at the time . . . .

What's up with dudes at house parties tryin' to hear all that gangsta rap when as SOON as u play like 3 of those songs, all the females will dissipate from the dance floor and proceed to go smoke cigarettes or get another drink???

Manager comes running from office
Manager: Can you change the music ?
Me: *stares blankly at him wondering what was up his crack*
Manager: Can you play something that people can dance to ?
Me *looks around* What people ?

I knew it was going to be difficult to deal with this moron for the rest of the night. I just packed up and left.
When I was packing my stuff, the guy was literaly crying and begging me not to leave. He got fired a month later.

"Yo man, you got any YO GOTTI?" . .I was like, "Um......NO" He responded, "Man you gotta play some GANGSTA SH*T up in here man, I'm tellin you! You play some gangsta sh*t like "Money in the Bank (Lil Scrappy/Young Buck)" right now, and this party will be jumpin man!"
Meanwhile, every girl AT the party was on the dance floor at the time . . . .

What's up with dudes at house parties tryin' to hear all that gangsta rap when as SOON as u play like 3 of those songs, all the females will dissipate from the dance floor and proceed to go smoke cigarettes or get another drink???

True, true indeed. Same thing here, dude asked me if I had some Yo Gotti, but I only had the clean version at the time. I just told him, nope, ain't got it.

I have realised dudes rather dance with each other than to dance with the girls. When the girls are on the floor (Beyonce playing), the dudes are standing on the wall. Play some Jeezy or Yo Gotti, dudes run to the floor and bounce in each other faces all night long. I just don't get it.

DJ Bombjack 8:08 PM - 19 September, 2006
Yes, I agree. Private parties/events, the check signer has the last say about the music. In fact I always tell them beforehand that the only person who can comment on the direction of the music is them (the check-signer). It keeps life simple and keeps those never-satisfied moaners away.

Club nights are kinda the same, except it would come down to eithe the owner or promoter. The worst scenario is when they don't agree and you're caught in the middle. It's happened a few times to me, in the end all you can do is tell them to talk to each other.

I've gotten, "I will suck your dick if you play Lil Kim." But i think that chick just walks around clubs telling everyone she'll suck their dick for everything from free admission to free drinks. I aint falling for that shit.

Back when i was still on vinyl the new Game CD got leaked on one particular day. The next night some asked me to play "dreams". 1. its slow as hell, 2. the song comes out in 2 weeks.
dj trends 11:55 PM - 19 September, 2006
I got 2 much too say... The worst shit ever is when you are doing your warm up set. throwings back drinks, auto-pilot, talkin to the female bartender, etc... The some loser ass who parties once a year comes out at 10:09 while the club gets packed at 11:45. Then they come to the booth and say, can you play "shakira, justin timberlake, beyonce, young joc.. etc... right now!!"

The other one that gets me from time to time is I'm playing in a hip-hop club, place is goin off and I see this chick sitting down for like an hour, then she comes up and says:

Chick: "Are you going to play some dance music?"
Me: "No"
Chick: "Why Not?"
Me: "This is a Hip-Hop club, sorry but I think you're in the wrong place!"
Chick: *Walks back to her seat and sits down and pouts until the club closes*

WTF - why didn't she just leave and take her a$$ to a dance club??? *shakes head*
Dj Ace 6:06 AM - 20 September, 2006
This thread is too funny and real...but fellow DJ's we need to do something about this. How about we all carry around a please read this before you talk to the DJ sign?

It could be sort of like...

Your DJ is spinning with Serato. Serato is a state of the art highly technical piece of software for realtime mixing.

Rules for requesting songs:

1. Dont talk to me if I look busy.
2. I might or might not play your request so dont push.
3. If you dont like how i am playing leave and/or dont come back, this is not the club for you.
4. Dance to the music being played before you ask for another song.
5. No...I dont have a pen and I dont know were the bathroom is. :)
6. Yes...I am the DJ!
7. If you waste that drink on my equipment I will waste you!
8. Decide how bad you want to hear the song and how much you willing to pay for your request in advance.
9. If you use profanity so will I...
10. And one last thing...if you waste that drink REMEMBER I WILL WASTE YOU!

Thank you for approaching the DJ...and I hope your Club/Party Experience is not ruined cause i would not play that song! Have a great evening.

sincerly,
DJ ACE
djfourmoney 7:37 AM - 20 September, 2006
I joined just to get my cracks in -

I have been asked every possible tired question. Nobody is ever happy.

Stopped doing weddings a long time ago. Its not worth my time anymore, unless know the the bride/groom personally and I know we're going to throwdown later.

Large clubs are the ONLY answer, they can't reach you to ask you dumb ass questions.

Here some of my favorites -

Some White Guy: "Do you have something other than this rap shhh??"

Me: "Like?"

SWG: "Pantera?"

Me: "You can't be serious?"

SWG: "Why not?"

Me: "Do I look like I would have some Pantera in my crate?" "Playing that shhh would ruin the vibe in here, you can't come to house parties and just request any old thing and expect it to get played..."

SWG: (walking away) "My this DJ sucks..."

Me and the crew - LAUGHIN


I've never been offered any booty or anything like that, but I do get the usual "female request from space".

"Do you have somethin other than this?"

"Do you have (insert current overplayed Top 40 shhh)?"

Here's the best one -

"Can you play Doo-Doo Brown?"

So I cue up "Doo Doo Brown" by Two Brothers and a Dog

They come runnin back

Girl - "Hey I thought you were going to play that Doo Doo Brown song?"

Me - "Its playing..."

Girl - "Not this one!"

What she/they really wanted to hear was "I Wanna Rock" by Luke

In those cases I always play dumb, at least know the daym song you wanna hear before you come to me askin for it...

I usually ignore most of it now.
DJTonyC 12:22 PM - 20 September, 2006
I've heard all of these and then some in my years at the clubs. But the most recent one really stands out. This girls comes to the DJ booth and asks me to play this song she's about to sing. She proceeds to cover my right ear and partially plug my left ear while starting to sing the request into my left ear about two inches away. Needless to say I had no idea what song she was talking about because her voice was terrible (and I couldn't hear) and the whole time I'm thinking how much easier it woulda been if she just asked me to play the song by title. Some peoples children.

I have had fights break out right in front of my turntables, that is creepy as hell. You begin to think "I really should have brought some extra needles... and a helmet"

However, the worst I have ever witnessed was actually when I was not djing myself. It was in high school, and some girl wanted to perform a song, so she gave the dj a cd with the song on it. Then she expected the poor guy to be able to remove the vocal from the track. She started singing, and guess what, the original vocal was still in the track. So she started yelling at the dj: "turn down the vocal so I can sing here!" through the microphone. She got really mad, and about 2 min into the song she SCREAMED into the microphone "i cant sing when the f"#king vocal is still in the track!!" and rushed off the stage.

Ok so im djing this past weekend at my fraternites can drive party... towards the end of the night I always play a old school r&b set..

2 things happen first this hard ass dude komes up to me and says " Yo dog DJ do you got any hot shit? this stuff your playing is wack no one is dancing? (mind you all the girls are singning along to the to the old skool hits and are loving it and dudes are doin they mj and etc) Then he says " Dog you should put on that joint Ice Kream By Raekwon that will really set the party off" Im like uhhh are you serious? He says " Yeah that will set it off I promise you" Im like ok i'll be sure to play it ( Yeah RIGHT!)

2nd. Girls get on my nerves when they kome up to me and ask me to play a song i already played earlier in the night. And the reason why they want to hear it is bekause they werent there when i played the song. Mind you the party starts at 10 they dont get there till 12:30. for example Girl: " kan you play young joc its goin down" Me: I already played it sorry. Girl "Kome on i wasnt here kan you do it for me i'll love you forever? Me: Sorry I have a girlfriend

For the hip hop heads...Do you ever get this?

Dude: Do you have "100 Grand" by Yung Juc?
Me: (Thinking, I never seen that song on the track listing of his cd) I don't know man, lemme check.
Dude: Okay.

So I check SSL, and nothing even close resembled it. I like to think that I'm most current will all new, hot hits, but this is killing me that I don't have it. Then dude comes back.

Dude: You gonna play it.
Me: Where did you hear that song at?
Dude: It was on some freestyle mixtape.
Me: (pissed off) Get the F#ck outta here, and don't ask me to play s*it else for the rest of the night.

I barely listen to mixtapes with nothing but freestyles, let alone have them in SSL to play at a party.

Second...
Somebody asks you if you have a certain song by a certain artist, and you know you have it but you don't want to play it yet. Then act dumb like, who is it by? how does it go? For some reason, the people I deal with like to challenge the DJ. They get some kind of enjoyment if the heard a song before the DJ. Anyway, dude starts smilling like, "You don't have that song?" Then goes back to his boys and say, "The DJ don't have it, smiling and laughing." Three song later, I play the song he was talking about and point straight to him, grab the mic and say, "Thought I didn't have it huh? I had this 4 months ago, you late. Now dude is looking stupid in the face and his boys are clowning him.

Priceless.
JSoul556 4:42 PM - 21 September, 2006
Here are my two stories...

I did a sub gig this past summer at this bar/lounge in a hotel for a friend of mine. So the first night went cool and on the second night I'm there, the bartenders and hotel staff start telling me about the owner of the hotel. He's some old crotchety man who HATES anything released after the Sinatra era. So they tell me he's in the building and to play some low key stuff. Before I have a chance to put the song on ("Kiss" by Prince was playing at the time), he all of a sudden appears in the DJ booth.

Owner: Hi, my name is [insert any ancient name here] and I own this hotel.

Me: Hi, how ya doin.

Owner: Who do you work for?

Me: Caroll Higgins.

Owner: What kind of music do you play?

Me: I usually play a mix of 70's, 80's and some current stuff (I usually play strictly Hip Hop, R&B and Top 40 but I had an older crowd at this bar).

Owner: Well make sure you play some 40's, 50's and 60's because I'm not gonna have you in here playing this shit all night long (mind you, Prince was still playing).

Me: Yes sir!

I basically laughed it off because it was funny that this 147 year old artifact just cussed at me. He eventually went upstairs to his room, took his medication and went to sleep. It was 8:30pm...way past his bedtime. The next song I played: "Brick House."

---------------------------------------------------

I saved the best for last...

I used to DJ at this club called Jitterbugs in a small town in East Texas called Nacogdoches, about 2 hours North of Houston. This club normally plays Country music, but with the University there they had a high demand for Hip Hop. So they brought me in for College Night on Thursdays.

One particular night, these two hicks come up to the DJ booth while I'm up there with the guy who runs lights who was also a hick but a cool one.

Hick: Hey, when y'all gon' play some Country music?

Me: In just a little while I'll get some on for you. Anything you wanna hear?

Hick: Anything but this.

Me: Ok, I'll see what I can do.

....5 minutes later...

Hick: I thought you sed you wuz gon' play some Country music!

Me: I did and I will, you have to be patient though.

Hick: Fuck patience, this is pissin me off! Nobody wants to hear this Hippity Hop shit...we came here ta hear some Country music.

Me: (turning to the lights guy who saw the fire in my eyes and looked petrified) Sean, you better come get ya boy.

So 10 minutes later when I *FINALLY* decided to play some Country music, I get the next song ready and turn on the mic. As soon as "Yeah" by Usher ends I get on the mic and said the following:

"I've had some people coming up to me tonight shitting on Hip Hop because they wanna hear Country music. I'm up here doing my job the best way I know how to do and I'm doing what I'm paid to do. You don't see me coming to your job kickin' dicks out of your mouth, do you?"

As the patrons collectively gasp and say "oooooooooooooo" I close out my rant by saying "I'm J. Soul, bitch!" and press play on George Strait. LOL

That statement not only got me mad respect at that club, but was a running joke and people I still talk to from that club still talk about it to this day. As for the hicks...they left not too long after I made that comment.
Dj Ryme 6:01 PM - 21 September, 2006

DJ FLATLINE 3:06 AM - 22 September, 2006
In Toronto, everybody thinks they're a DJ. I hate the fact that I'm clearly playing a song in the 90BPM range and I get a request to play "SEXYBACK" and they'll wait until you play it too. Pepole don't understand BPM range so I can't fault them for that. But for you to stand around and annoy me until you hear it is what pisses me off as a DJ. Toronto's reggae scene is HUGE and no matter where I play, I get the request to play reggae even though I wasn't hired for that. It's funny at first but it gets annoying after constantly hearing the samethings night in and out. Basically what that tells you is that people don't appreciate DJ's at all. All you need to have in crates are JT and Sean Paul records and you're good.... What's the point???

They don't know about the thousands of hours we spent practicing or the relentless pursuit of quality music that we have to deal with. When new music hits the mainstream market, we're laughing because we've had that song for months, even a year b4 (cassie - me and U)(i've had that song since march/april of 2005......it was released in germany and I though she was German at fist).

- (eyes lighting up) "ya, traz!!"


So, I drop the well known 4 big-floor trance tunes and the little fucker appears again. I have a language barrier to deal with and the fact that he doesn't know what he is asking for...
this reminds me of my very first gig ever (80's house party) a gal rolls up and requests "McDonald's", in my head i was like "huh?"

Me: I'm give the 'fuck off' look thinking they're being a wise-ass but no...
Me: 'oh shit, you're serious. um, just dance to what's happening in the music?'
Punter: (thinking) (thinking) (thinking)... "Ok!" (proceeds to take pills and dance like a twat for the next three years of their lives)

Hey can you come and play at my mates party, you'll have to bring all your turntables and music, don't worry about speakers (the venue has them)...


1. The venue is a cafe with clock radio speakers that have played Norah Jones, Moby and St Germain for the past five years. Any bass you put through them will crack them immediately.

2. Dude is paying a pittance (even if you weren't bringing all your gear) AND says on the day of the party 'Can I pay you next week, dude?'

3. you are expected to play from like 7 to 3, even though the party will probably suck balls...

True story. I suggested that he might be better off bringing some CDs to play on the cafe mini system. He reluctantly saw reason.

Pioneers.

Me: Awsome I love CDJs

Him: No, they arent CDJs they are dual deck rack cd players.

Keep in mind the manager is standing there.

Me: That really limits your DJing skill

Him: No I can do anything you can do on Vinyl on Dual Decks.

Me: So what are you playing on?

Him: CDXs....

Me: ok Im gonna setup my gear.

Setup my CDJ-800s, Vestax PMC Pro 08, and SSL

Manager: Whats the Laptop for, is this how DJing is now?

Me: Yep its the new thing, all the big names are using it. Basicly just makes everything easier to transport.

Sound Guy: Man all your gear is out of date... those CDJ-800s are B-stock and Vestax Sucks.

Me: Really? Cause last time this mixer just came out... There is only 1 defference between my CDJs and the new Ones and SSL is the latest and greatest thing on the market hands down! Can you mix without headphones? I didnt think so.

A good lookin professional dressed chic appraoches me very early in the night, holding a cocktail - leans over and says to me, "You should be using a Mac."

That's my response to people who say *I* should be using a mac. I personally don't give a rip who uses what. Use a mac if you want...use a PC if you want. The reality is, as far as Serato is concerned, both will either do the job or take a crap on you. Doesn't matter mac or pc, if you don't take care of it, or if you have a random failure, it'll suck for you, if you know what you're doing, it works fine. I just respond like that to people who tell me what *I* should be using.

DJ'ing @ a car show yesterday..

Record playing -> "Run DMC - It's Like That" ..

Guy walks right up to me and says "Hey you got any Country or ROCK?? CUZ My TRIBE doesn't listen to this SH*T!!!"

It took almost every bit of self-control to not mush him and smash a record over his head.

techno requests are always funny.

The Dance floor could be filled with people parting their asses off to mobb deep beats & you could be wearing a big gold dookie chain, adidas sweat suit, 4 finger ring and some dumbass will still request some techno.

This is the greatest thread I have seen here... AMAZING!

1- YES, the "50 Cent Bday song" happens weekly like so...

Girl - "Its my friends Bday, will you play the birthday song?"
Me - "No and happy birthday"

2-
Girl "Will you play some Tribe or De La"

I was playing Buddy when she asked that

3-
Girl "When are you gonna play something we can dance to?"

I was playing James Brown so I said "Honey, you cant dance"

Me "Excuse me?"
Manager "I said, This music SUCKS"
Me (Hit stop on the 1200 while Poison BBD was playing, dead silence) "Then you don't have to listen to it anymore" and I got my shit and left "Keep your money and have fun learning to DJ"

I was playing a few weeks ago at this bar, everyone was dancing, place was off the hook, and some chick walks up to me and is like

"hey, will you play that rhianna song, I don't want to be, a murderer"

well first off, thats not how the song goes, as far as I know, (I unfortunatly hear it constantly at my day job on the radio)
second off, that might be one of the worst songs I have ever fucking heard in my life. That song would not have just cleared the dance floor, it would have cleared the bar altogether.

wtf, will someone explain her logic???

Dude last night, is a slow night... I'm in the booth playing and this girl comes up.

Girl: Hey play something we can dance to.

Me: (looks @ crowd) But there are girls dancing.

Girl: Oh you like the way to broke ass white girls dance!! Play some shit we home girls can get down to! Some Booty Shaking shit!

Me: Girl Dont Cop an attitude with me.

Girl: Oh I wasnt coppin anything, you need to play some real shit. (Girl Walks off)

10 Minutes later I jump on the Mic to talk about the Halloween party we are having and I hear...

Same Girl: Hey DJ You Suck!

Me: Oh I suck (roll up the stop speed on the CDJ and hit stop)
The Current song grinds to a hault... and everyone looks @ her.

Me: Hope you can Dance to this girl I'm out! Peace!

DJUnknown 3:59 PM - 16 October, 2006
^^^Why let one bad apple spoil the whole bunch, was she the manager or something? Honestly, you gave her too much play, all that explanation and ishhhhh is not deserving. What I do is play with them, nod my head like "sure" then continue doing my thing. If the same person comes back, I repeat process, I might add a couple words like "coming right up" and act extremely busy, then continue doing my thing. As long as people are dancing, I could give two cents about that one person complaining.
DJ Uncle Needle Drop 4:05 PM - 16 October, 2006
??? Should lose your job for that one. It's different if the manager @ a New Years party is stupid enough to say that to a name dj, but leaving because some skank in a small club on a slow night talks shit to you?

You need to learn to use the mic to your advantage - put that hoe on the spot- let the crowd know that she was talking some anti semetic shit and didn't like the way the "Broke ass white girls" danced- her night will be over quick.

It's not a matter of sitting @ home waiting for someone to reply to your post so you can TELL THE REST OF THE SUPPOSED STORY. Tell the whole thing the first time if it's true. Don't wait until you realize how stupid your made up story sounds, and then try and save face by posting "the rest of the story later"

As for your comment about me being negative- is that because I call you on your BS? Because I shared honestly what I thought about your dual club/ radio broadcast? Sorry if I rained on your parade dude, but I've been in the radio game for a long time (getting paid mind you) not as an intern, so I know how that stuff works. So, sorry to rain on your "I'm a big time radio mix jock/intern parade" just calling it like I see it.

DJ AM 5:40 PM - 19 October, 2006
In LA we usually DJ 4 hour sets,, 10pm till 2am (close) and I used to get to work at 9:45pm to set up, then basically practice the 1st hour while people were walking in. Well, at 10:15 I'd get the "PLAY BEYONCE CRAZY IN LOVE" and I'd say "Its 10:15, you will hear it later I promise" and of course the girl would frown (thinking its cute and i will fall for it) and I'd just go back to practicing. 10:30 she would walk by and look at me raising her eyebrows. 11pm she sends 2 of her friends up to ask for the same song shile she watchs to see my reaction (cause of course her ego let her think i was saying no to HER specifically) and I just look at the 1st girl and say "I told your friend, i will play it later" This is the reason I used to carry weak ass promo frisbee records in the back of my crate. Cause come 11:15pm when the 1st girl comes BACK (now with a few drinks in her) demanding I play it. I reach in the back of my crate, pull out a frisbee record and say "You want Beyonce??? Huh?? YOU REALLY WANT IT?? (pull out frisbee 12" and SMASH it over my kneee and hand her the 2 pieces) HERE MOFO, TAKE BEYONCE" they never come back. I have my man man Mike B to thank for this drunkgirl jukeing strategy.

^^ I'd just like to know how it is that I'm telling stories and futhermore, where are you getting you facts from? I dont think I have ever met either one of you. Nor do I care to.

In Fact to be quite honest, I really dont care what you think about me. In the last 3 months I participated in 3 charity Events that have raised well over $35,000 toward Cancer patients. I got into radio because one of the DJs brought me in and I had a mixshow for a couple months till that DJ was Fired for failure to follow directions on numerous occasions. Since that incident I have interned for KMX, doing spots and doing a bit daily on the morning show.

You can take my word for it, or not. Either way I'd just like to say that I know what is happening here where I live. If you continue to question whether I am telling the truth or not I suggest you come hang out in Enterprise, AL for a week and I'll give you the nickle tour.

Needle, and Nom I wonder what it is that is so great about you both that you feel compeled to constantly attack anyone on this forum who shows any bit of progress in their careers, or futhermore asks questions about possibilities of certain gig setups.

I have no interest in continuing any continuing any communication with either of you. I hope you both come to relize that your both being very childish.

If you don't care what we think then why do you feel compelled to list your charity accomplishments and also, why do you air your friends dirty laundry about why he got fired from the station? I don't care how he got fired, or if you are an intern, or if the morning show uses you to do "whacky radio bits" -those are all played out anyway. I did them all when I started, and then some. I'm just calling you on your BS stories. And you obviously don't like that. Waaaaaaaaaaaaa!

I'd love to come out to "Enterprise" Alabama to visit you and get your nickle tour, and possibly see you walk out in the middle of your club job only to see you run back in and hit the crowd hard with "Can't Touch This", But I'm going to have to take my vacation elsewhere.

1. PLAY SOMETHING GOOD...SOMETHING WE CAN DANCE TO! As a DJ, I have to play for more than one person...so what you hate may be another's favorite song and all music can be danced to one way or another.

2. WOULD YOU PLAY SOMETHING WITH A "BEAT"?

Unless the song is acapella, there are NO songs played at a party that do not have some sort of BEAT!


3. I DON'T KNOW WHO SINGS IT AND I DON'T KNOW THE NAME OF THE SONG, BUT IT GOES LIKE THIS....


PLEASE don't sing for me (DJ). I have to perform various tasks at the same time; like listening to the next song that is to be played and keeping the beat count for the upcoming song. Do me a favor and DON'T give me (or another DJ) a rendition of your favorite song (if it really was your favorite, you would know the title and artist).

4. EVERYBODY WANTS TO HEAR IT!

Of course!... you polled everyone at the party and, as their spokesperson; you're requesting this particular song for everyone.


5. EVERYBODY WILL DANCE, IF YOU PLAY IT!

I (the DJ) won't. I guess that blows a hole in that theory!


6. I CAN GET SOME IF YOU PLAY IT!

Why settle for one day/night? Buy the album and get some for a whole month! Even if you offer me a "tip", save your money and go buy the album.


7. I WANT TO HEAR IT NEXT!

The ONLY people who can get away with that statement write the DJ's paycheck and have signed the contract! So.... ask me for a business card and I'll be glad to play it NEXT at your event.

8. WHAT DO YOU HAVE?

It's a lot easier for you to go have another drink and figure out what you want to hear, than it is for the me (DJ) to recite the name of every song in the music catalog! If I were doing karaoke (no offense to my KJ colleagues), then yes, I would have a list of eveything I play, but since I'm not, then I don't.

9. HEY, DJ, NOBODY CAN DANCE TO THIS!

It's NOT advisable to say this when the dance floor is packed (but some people do anyway)! HOWEVER, even if there is only ONE person on the floor, it STILL contradicts the statement!


10. PLAY IT SOON, BECAUSE WE'RE LEAVING!

If your going to leave after I play it, why shouldn't I wait till the very last song so you stay for the whole event!

Last night I had a request for "Its going down" while Im playing eighties at like 112 bpm. And that song is 86 bpm. The only way to mix that song is with other slow songs (big pimpin) or reggae or drum and bass. Fuck slow ass popular songs! "Its not going down tonight honey"

So on Halloween I was spinning at a private party at a resturaunt. Super cool place, cool croud. They wanted to hear Hip Hop... Underground Mainstream...they didnt care. Some Guy dressed as the planters peanut comes up and introduces himself.
20 min later he says You gotta play Run DMC "It's like that" this whole group loves this song. I was later man.. It's too early. So every half hour hecomes up to tell me to play that, and some other random song that will "Be perfect after it"....
It got so annoying that this is what I finally did. about 1 am he aked again..I said got on the dance floor I am cueing it up!!!! so I was looking for it in my library.. and he asks again. at the same time some Hott Ass girl dressed like an angel with next to nothing on comes up and requested sexy back. .... you can guess what i played...

Was she 6'2" - blond, super hot wearing nothing but fishnet stockings and a little bra and panty deal saying, "I'll love you forever - if you play that song."

I didn't play it, cuz she dancing all supa dirty in front of me for a couple hours with some 'other' dude... had she rubbed the goods on me, I woulda considered.
scotty B 6:28 PM - 3 November, 2006
LOL... Naw homey was just telling how and what to play all night. It was getting old. The drunker he got the worse he was...Obviously. I played quite a few other songs for him as well. trust me I normally would not do some ish like this....I played "it's like that" later that night anyway

This just happened last night...

Some girl comes up to me and asks me to play Akon "Smack That". I told her I'd play it. She comes up a 4th time and I tell her "If you want to hear it that badly why don't you go out to your car and plug in your ipod and listen to it."

A little while later I notice that there's a little water on the dj booth. I keep spinning and I look back and there's even more water than before. So I look around for a spilled drink. I don't see anything but I do see that girl standing up against the wall drinking a bottle of water. So I tell one of my friends to keep an eye on her and I also tell the manager what's going on. Then she walks by me and flips me off! So I pick up a few of the wet napkins I wiped the water up with and I threw em at her. Then the manager grabs her and kicks her out.

Maybe I was outta line with all that, but it sure felt good.

i was DJing in this store, and this dude walks up to me with his "assistant"...he points at my laptop and gives a witty smile, and he says to me, "heheh, that's the serato right? I just can't use that, it just doens't feel real to me, i keep it old school." I ask this fuck, "oh really? oh so you like the vinyl? thtat's cool dawg" then this fuck says to me, "nah i dont use vinyl, i use CD Players, the old school way." what a fucking jackass. He blabs on how he is a professional and how Serato is not professional, and he starts explaining to his assistant about how "this software will crash on you, so dont use it" i was about to spit in his face. Then i'm like, "oh so your a professional? can i have your card?" then the lame asss piece of shit says, "yeah, sure.....oops i dont have any on me. I have them in my car." then i say, "oh shit, well you know, not having a business card on you is not very professional at all....So do you have a website???" "welll...Its in construction...right now, so..." then i say, "oh yeah i understand, so your a professional DJ, that keeps is old school by spinning CD's, that doesn't have a business card, or a website, yeah, that's pretty pro, but hey, i'd really like a card to check out what your all about!"

jack ass. never trust a man that wears sunglasses indoors. faggot.

I had someone book me to dj at a resturant. I asked him if he had turntables, and he said "no, we're old school, we only have cd players".Since when are cd players older than turntables?

@ djskeetz:

I hate people that have to come up and tell you they're "professionals". Had a guy do that a couple of years ago on a Friday night at my gig, I asked him if he was so good then why was he out on a weekend night and not spinning somewhere. Shut him up!!

So I was playing at this 15th this past Saturday. It's still early in the night, but I still had the dance floor packed. A guy walks up to me and says....
"When are you going to play some guapango? You’re putting us to sleep!" I looked at him, than the packed dance floor, than back at the guy and say... "Have a nice dream!"

Still the guy kept coming to ask for guapango every other song even after I told him I didn't have guapango.

BTW If anyone knows.. What is guapango? There are so many sub-genres in the Latin genre. It’s hard to have them all.

People try to show off by requesting some old off the wall genre that is only known to three villages in the heart of the east Colombian jungles.
DJ Unique 7:49 AM - 7 November, 2006
Guapango???
Maybe Huapango???

Huapango is a somewhat obscure Mexican genre from the Gulf of Mexico region that might sound like Mariachi/Ranchero to the untrained ear. I grew up in Los Angeles and had never heard of this until an older friend asked if I knew about it. I had never heard of it and he couldn't believe it. I took a quick survey of other Mexicans in my workplace and found that most did not know what it was. There were only 2 out of 15 that knew what it was. Keep in mind that these were people that were born & raised Mexico.

Thanks Unique.. It's nice to know of these rarely known genres. I do think it's “Guapango” like Kool explained. Most of the guests were Colombians.

However I look into Huapango also.
DJ Unique 7:57 PM - 7 November, 2006
May be Guapango.
The friend that asked if I knew is Peruvian.
He said that genre was very popular in Peru in his youth.

It's not a matter of sitting @ home waiting for someone to reply to your post so you can TELL THE REST OF THE SUPPOSED STORY. Tell the whole thing the first time if it's true. Don't wait until you realize how stupid your made up story sounds, and then try and save face by posting "the rest of the story later"

As for your comment about me being negative- is that because I call you on your BS? Because I shared honestly what I thought about your dual club/ radio broadcast? Sorry if I rained on your parade dude, but I've been in the radio game for a long time (getting paid mind you) not as an intern, so I know how that stuff works. So, sorry to rain on your "I'm a big time radio mix jock/intern parade" just calling it like I see it.

Usually when i'm djing at a party club or whatever i have some friends of mine with me in the dj booth,so everytime someone's coming up to ask for a song my buddy listens to what he wants to know, turns around to me and says something like: i didn't even understand what this guy wants to hear, so just turn on a smile and pretend you are going to play that song. The only thing i do is just look at the guy and smile, usually this works with all people...

best question ever and most classic:
girl: play some better music...
me': whats better music?
girl: I dont know, just play some better music...
me: ok, i will...

Well it depends. You get the same shit at a club too. If you communicate with your bride, groom, and their parents on what they would like to hear in your planning sessions then this would less likely happen. It happend to me once and it was from one of the groomsmen. He took a swing at me and then was escorted out. I found him outside taking a leak and told him that it wasn't cool. He called me out, I knocked his ass out and then he got arrested. He then started yelling at the cops and saying why I wasn't arrested and the cop replied..."you assaulted another police officer". He then looked at me and couldn't believe what he did. I laughed and then went back in to the party.

I just sat here and read this entire thread, and it's gold Jerry! GOLD!!!


Everyone of these situations has happened to me and I always thought I was alone, it's good to know that any given Friday night at any given time there are thousands of us going through the exact same shit at the exact same moment.

LOL @ the genreic Sexy back complaint, could it get any truer than that.

Anyway a couple of funny ones.

"can you play that song Beenie Man by Romie"


2 months ago, one of my regular promoters and class act all the way "Shamann, can you play some Reggae?"

Me: um this ...is...Reggae. (even though it was very commercial stuff)

Her: "No some dancehall"

*as Beenie's "King Of The Dancehall* is running out the 20 minute set I just ran with the Mama, Bamma, Giggy and Crash riddims* (as i said ..commercial but dancehall nonetheless)

Cute girl but damn, step out of the burbs for a minute hun.


And once again with another chick, this happened at the opener of a new club I was doing a couple of weeks ago. Since it was a private invite only party and a thirty plus crowd I was instructed to stay away from the reggae.

So this girl comes up to me and says "can you play the Dutty Wine" (which is pretty much up there with the Sexy Back in terms of commercial dancehall) and I say "Sorry hun, but I was told not to dip into the reggae tonight, but as soon as they aren't paying attention I'll slip it in for you"

She says "Um hello...Dutty Wine is not reggae.."

Me: yes it is my dear.

her "um no it's not! I would know!!"

This is some white chick looks like she just bussed in from *Woodbridge (and probably did because that's where the majority of the crowd was from)

Needless to say, poor girl didn't get her "Dutty Wine" after that display

*woodbridge is an italian suburb outside of Toronto*





Sorry for the ramble but this thread is great, and since I've given you a couple of funnier ones, I have to give you a serious piss off situation that is ten times worse than any lame ass patron request.


The so called "DJ" who is like a super villian of annoyance compared to the Sexy Backer.

End of Summer, I'm playing one of my regular spots, things are going good, it's around 12:30 so it's time to start rinsing the latest anthems and this cocksucker has been bugging me all night, constantly talking to me, asking me how my dog is, great weather we're having, you know what would be a good song etc... and motherfucker says "what crew are you with". Now I was once with one of the more known pioneering reggae sets out of Toronto, but I'm solo now (every year or so we put out a special mix Cd but other than that, we've gone our own ways as far as the business goes). So I tell him, he tells me he's from a certain Hip Hop crew which is pretty well known in this city. I say "cool" even though I'm skeptical because of the way this guy is carrying on and also I'm pretty sure said crew was playing across the street that night.

So this guy keeps saying "Dude, what about Sean Paul"

Like fuck, I've played 300 Sean Pauls already and I'm gonna play more, no worries dude. So he keeps on me about "Like Glue" I say "Dude, I just played it maybe 20 minutes ago"..."Play it again boss, trust me the crowd will go off"

First of all the song is fuckin 6 years old, second of all "play it again"? I thought this dude was supposed to be a Dj from a known and respected crew in this city, how's he gonna ask me to do what we all hate and pester me about it too if he's such an expert?

I once had a guy who use to come around a larger pub I did and he would say "Hi I'm (can't remember his name) and I'll be your annoying asshole for the night (as if i would get a kick out of that) and he would pester me all godamn night, once he even bothered me for advice in how to handle the situation with his friend dancing with his girl over in the corner. I'm Dj Shamann, not Dr. Phil.

But that guy was nowhere near as annoying as Dj "I wanna here Sean-A Paul All Night" because there is nothing worse than a know it all "DJ" who makes it a point to bother other Dj's when they're in the middle of their thang! They of all people should know better.



Okay I'm done now, sorry for the essay but this thread is like much needed therapy.
Kool DJ Sheak One 4:33 AM - 14 November, 2006
^^ Its good to vent. Those booth flies are the worst. Even if you do play a request, its like giving a little tiny boulder of crack to a crack whore, it just makes it worse.
Because 99% of the time, that person will come back and be like "O.K., now you know what would really be good now is..."
And no matter what Sean Paul song you play, it wont be the one they were thinking of. Fuck em' if they ain't cuttin' the check.

Don't appease the drunk control freaks of the night peoples, for your own sanity.

"Play it again boss, trust me the crowd will go off"

I hate those comments. 1st of all, I know the crowd would dance again on that tune. Most of the crowd would dance their ass of if you play the same top40 songs on rotation each hour. But does that mean I am playing the same songs again on a night?
Hell no!! I am not..

* a jukebox
* a cd in repeat mode
* a radio.

2nd, some people do recognize if you play the same song again, they would be very much pissed - as much as I would be if I were them.

So if you (wack) DJ want to go that simple route - please do it. But dont tell me how I should play, unless you are paying me and I am not doing a good job. If both is true I might consider your objections. If not, then please shut up and take care about your nights.
nik39 10:03 AM - 14 November, 2006
.. I remember this one DJ who was always laughing at me cause I came to my gigs with 4 big crates and another bag. He decided it was not necessary, because the crowd only listens to the same shit all the time. He rarely doesnt change the records in his club crates. I prefer spinning a wider range of music and to be able not to be f*cked if the DJ who played before me has played half of the song which I would have in my 2 bags. Well,.. anyway that cat was one of the old and bitter DJs who was only in the game for the money.

He's cool, and all his friends there are also hella cool . . . the family is Persian, and they decide that since they're paying me, I should play some of "their" music. The kids don't wanna hear this shit, mind you, but I figure, what the hell, these people have been more than accomodating and deserve to hear a few of their trax . . . The party kids agree that it's an acceptable compromise, and allow the grown-ups to have their share of fun . . . after 15-20 minutes of their music, which was probably a little too accomodating, I decide to switch it right back up so the birthday boy can get his dance with his friends. It's all good . . . but later the grown-up folks come right back and insist on some more of their music . . . ok, maybe this time i just won't play that stuff for so long. I'm playing some song I've never heard before, it's not bad though, and i decide to have a little fun with it . . . since the cd is in my laptop (I'm running serato, as if this forum didn't already give that away:))I decide to get the next track in the mix:) I start skratching it up a little and drop the next track in my own unique way . . . i start to juggle a little, once the song's been mixed . . . when i get this crazy ass lady come up to me: "No NO NO!!!! Don't do that to THIS music . . . It's not American Music and that's not what to do with it!" I'd been nice enough to play their music, and even stay thirty minutes after the clock, and money, had stopped . . . but when this happened i quickly turned the tables off and announced the party's ending . . . what can you do :)

If this thread wasn't around I'd have serious therapy bills. I alway read up on the new ones after every hellish gig I play.

Newbie DJ: Yo man! Where's your mic?
Me: I don't have one, I use these for djing (show him my hands and turnaround to mix)
Newbie DJ: (Pokes me repeatedly in the ribs) Yo, lemme plug my comp in and rip some reggae.
Me: No man. I'm sorry. (Turnaround again to get back into my rhythm)
Newbie DJ: (Pokes me again in the ribs)
Me: Dude, what?
Newbie DJ: (Pulls out a mic from his coat pocket) Lemme plug this shit in, son. I wanna rock the crowd, dog.
Me: This isn't happening. Aren't you a dj? Don't you hate when people pester you while you're mixing? You follow me?
Newbie DJ: Yo, you know what would be raw. Drop "Snap Yo' Fingaz". Everyone will go crazy!
Me: (I can't wait to go home and write on the Scratch Forum)

DJBlisk 11:24 PM - 15 November, 2006
I got one!

So I spun at this club once about 2 years ago and actually have a few funny stories from it among the other clubs that I play at. Solomon actually was probably one of their regulars there so I don't how know he gets to play whatever he wants... But thats just me hating on his status.

So its early and I run through some old school breaks etc. The crowd starts coming in and I start moving things along.

Just as i drop Biggee's "juicy" the owner comes up to me with a huge smile and asks
Owner: "Can you play happy hiphop"

What the fuck is happy hiphop?

After which I drop Mary J. Blige's "Real Love" remix. He comes right back to me and says, the same fucking thing.

Again what the fuck is happy hiphop? That being said he had the biggest pissed off face you could imagine for most of the night.

Next this drunk girl comes up while I'm playing Suzanne Vega's "Tom's Diner remix" and asks me if I can play something more of a beat? More of a beat?!!!!

Five minutes later a second girl comes up to me and asks for Madonna's "Like a virgin", I proceed to politely tell her that I don't have that in my crate. She gives me this astonished face and said that I must be lying. Everybody who spins at this club must have Madonna. I told her that I didn't, she then proceeds to run down a laundry list of Sorority songs for me to play. After I say to each and everyone, she drops the line that her boyfriend is one of the owners and that she'll get him. I shrugg her off and keep playing. She comes back and yells at me that she told her boyfriend and that he personally said to play the song! I still didn't play it and told her to bring her owner boyfriend up. He comes up with the guy who hired me and tells me to play the song, I tell him I don't have it and he throws a fucking tantrum at his mate about highering a ghetto dj. Fucking ridiculous. I didn't play the song becuase I really didn't even have it. Also remember that this was 2 to 3 years ago when serato wasn't even born yet and I was lugging around crates. I was living in LA at the time and only flew with 2 crates up to SF.

By the end of night I had pissed off most club owners becuase I played too much ghetto hiphop. Mind you the most ghetto song I played was Biggee's "juicy".

hahahaha.
Kool DJ Sheak One 11:41 PM - 15 November, 2006
Happy Hip-Hop=Britney Spears^^

I had this twat come up to me and said his girlfriend bet him that I didnt have any Madonna. I flashed her my Material Girl 12" and we split the winnings, ten bucks!

Keep taking requests from the "menu" before you play it, and you could collect your "fee" several times over from everyone thinking they're the only one making that request.

Never ever ever play a song if someone says they will give you money after you play it. Demand money up front. They will never give you money after the fact.
Only accept cash in hand before. And then you can decide whether or not to play it.
I had some fuck for brains say he would give me a twenty if I played michael jackson. I said sure, played a jacko track, then had to hunt dude down and he was like "well I didnt like the song you played after that".
Fuckin rich fucks are the tightest liars there are.
DJ_Mike_Coquilla 7:34 PM - 18 November, 2006
ok, so i saw this black dry eraser board at this one restuarant and they used this glow in the dark marker to list their evening's specials....under a blacklight, it looked tight.

so, maybe if there are those who are a lil shy/emarrassed to mentions prices..... at least you can list the songs that you know fo show that you'll get requests (like sexybrokeback, and laffy, and snoop, ditty, debbie gibson, bee gees, villiage people, vanilla, milli) at least they'll take a glance before poking you in the rib to say the obvious 'hey, r u gonna play (fill in obvious song here)?'
DJ_Mike_Coquilla 7:38 PM - 18 November, 2006
or, if you gots tha clams to fork out for a large flat panel monitor to display your prepare crate, or windows explorer of the obvious tunes you be planning to play/mix/cut/mash-up anyways....i dunno, now im feelin like some human jukebox.

It would turn into a massive "requestathon". But it might be good for weddings tho.
What if you play all the songs on the black board, would the music stop because you had to think of something to play on your own?
sixxx 8:35 PM - 18 November, 2006
I stopped taking requests in person a long time ago. I just direct them to a nice little note pad because
a) If they don't know the song, they can't hum it, sing it or whatever.
b) If I don't want to play it, I just won't.
c) Some mofos have bad breath! I hate that shit.. brush your teeth before you request shit. hahahaha
d) Gives the girls the opportunity to write their number down, etc if they want to. lol

Trying the same here.

Its so funny how *bad* the spelling of some people is. Even if english (mostly) is not their 1st language, its still a bit embarrassing... however, still funny for the DJ. Running around in "hiphop" clothes - then knowing nothing about it or the language of the songs they are mostly listening to.
Idlemind1999 8:44 PM - 18 November, 2006
At an office Holiday Party, a co-worker who often engaged in email wars with me decided to send his Stepford wife (en.wikipedia.org) to tell me that her husband thinks the music is too loud. I said," I know there are no rockets or or high-level physics involved, but tell your husband that rocket scientist or not, he should be smart enough to not complain about the volume when he's standing in front of a speaker."

Another time at a club with a fully enclosed DJ Booth/Room a girl stumbled in and asked who she had to blow in order to get her CD played...

Like 2Pac said, "...I don't want it if its that easy..."
DJ_Mike_Coquilla 9:23 PM - 18 November, 2006

i love a good email war with co-workers!

especially if there's a huge audience (and you know you're gonna win)....and it snow balls into a bigger audience, the higher the ladder the levels of mngment goes, as each email go back n forth, mine with pure data and failure results and pictures of defects, while my opponents just blow off a steam of laundry lists of lame excuses.

DJ A-NAK 5:09 AM - 4 December, 2006
this sums it up....

10 Things a DJ should NEVER have to hear...

1. PLAY SOMETHING GOOD...SOMETHING WE CAN DANCE TO!

The DJ has to play for more than one person...So what you hate may be another's favorite song and EVERYTHING played here can be danced to one way or another.

2. WOULD YOU PLAY SOMETHING WITH A "BEAT"

BE SERIOUS! We know of NO songs played in a club that don't have some sort of BEAT!

3. I DON'T KNOW WHO SINGS IT AND I DON'T KNOW THE NAME OF THE SONG, BUT IT GOES LIKE THIS....

PLEASE don't sing for the DJ. They have to put up with smoke filled rooms and dangerous decibel levels all night long... Do them a favor and DON'T give them a rendition of your favorite song.

4. EVERYBODY WANTS TO HEAR IT!

Oh, sure ... You polled everyone in the club and, as their spokesperson, you're requesting the song.

5. EVERYBODY WILL DANCE IF YOU PLAY IT!

The DJ won't. I guess that blows a hole in that theory!

6. I CAN GET LAID IF YOU PLAY IT!

Why settle for one night? Buy the album and get laid for a whole month!

7. I WANT TO HEAR IT NEXT!

The ONLY people who can get away with that statement write the DJ's paycheck!

8. WHAT DO YOU HAVE?

It's a lot easier for you to go have another beer and figure out what you want to hear than it is for the DJ to recite the name of every record in the booth!

9. HEY, MAN, NOBODY CAN DANCE TO THIS!

It's NOT advisable to say this when the dance floor is packed (but some people do anyway)! HOWEVER, even if there is only ONE person on the floor, it STILL contradicts the statement!

10. PLAY IT SOON, BECAUSE WE'RE LEAVING!

If your gonna leave after he plays it, why shouldn't he wait till the very last song so you stay all night?!
matt212 5:21 AM - 4 December, 2006

So totally staright face i say no, and she goes on to explain how they are this fantatsic throw back hip hop group - and proceeds to lecture me on "REAL hip hop and how i shouldn't play this commercial crap" bear in mind i've been playign ugly duckling and ozomatli alongside some classic 90's ish,

Private party, while playing old school hip hop set (It takes two playing), dude asked me to play "Strokin". WTF???, how could I have even transitioned that one is beyond me.


While it might not be a good idea mix those two songs at a party, in my head I can see them mixing well, I'll try it when I get home.


Actually, after a quick mix it doesn't sound horrible. With time to work with it and proper filters & time stretching it would probably make a neat little mash. How's about a little "Take 2 Strokes" mash-up contest?
matt212 9:58 PM - 4 December, 2006
So that is how mashups are born.

1. Take notes of what songs you were playing at the time.
2. Write down the song somebody wanted you to play while you were playing the first song.
3. Go home to mix the two and see if it works.

Yup, that's the formula right there. And everybody thought is was the DJ's coming up with these excellent mashups, while all along it was the pesky requestor giving us ideas. LOL.

I was playing old skool hiphop and party jams at my homie's monthly up in Portland, Oregon. Bear in mind, The floor is packed and were just dropping all kinds of jams, in the 100-120bpm range and some chick comes up and asks "When are you gonna play "Im Bossy" by Kelis?" Im getting to old for this. hahahah. ~(0)-(0)~ Great thread!

LOL, the mix of the two actually sounds half way decent, I did live joint just now but did not tape it, the bass lines can tend to sound muddy at parts, but if you drop the bass out of "IT TAKES TWO" and it blends well..."I be stokin AH/YEAH...I stroke it to the east AH I stroked it to the west YEAH...well just remember when you start making love IT TAKES TWO TO MAKE THING GO RIGHT...well just remember when I start making love my woman I don't stop until I HIT IT"

I still have this shirt I found @ journey's years ago, never been able to find it since.

It was Dark Navy Blue with 4 DJ logos and it says "I Don't Do Requests"


hey I know a guy that can print up shirts with anything you want on them, checkout www.jmclothing.com just shoot him an email and say you know dj sparky they range from $12-$20 depending on if you want full color or not, in addition to djing I also run live sound and end up doing a lot of underground hip hop shows, I had him make me a shirt that says "I'll turn your mic up when you learn how to use it" stupid bastards still ask me to turn their mic up but it usually gets a few people in the audiance to laugh

as far as stupid comments go you guys forgot to mention the most annoying part of people making requests, it's when they start off their request with "can I make a request", it's kind of like someone asking you if they can ask a question, it makes me want to bash my head against a wall

anyway as annoying and stupid as people are I still think it is worth it, where else can you make $100-$300 per hour to get free drinks and food while you party, it doesn't get any better than that.

My story pales in comparison...

I was at a 2-story venue, and downstairs there was a gay and lesbian singer/songwriter night, upstairs was my drum and bass event. So I'm spinning a dnb set when the downstairs event ends, and all of the people leftover came upstairs to hear what all of the racket was... So this shaved-head chick comes up to me and is like "can't you play something funky?"

Of course I'm playing liquid funk dnb at the moment, so I'm like "this isn't soulful enough for you?"

She said "well usually they play slower stuff on Tuesday nights" (which wasn't true anyways, it had been my event for over a year).

So I dropped the tune (which was at 45) into 33, and the vocal all sounded like a fat walrus trying to sing, and the amen break was all slow.... And I said "Here, is that slow enough for ya?" And she stormed off!!

I play a lot of middle school dances and end up with 6,7,8th graders for three hours at a time. Perhaps some of the dumbest questions ever...
-What song is next? (The next song! No what is it? The one after this..Thanks!)
-Can you play #4 on Hannah Montana (What's the title? I don't know. You want me to play a song you don't know? Yes.)
-Can you play Grillz? (No.)

Also, in Florida we get a real mix of tastes and when they say "Can you play something new? or something upbeat" Like what? I don't know. Well if you don't know, what you want, how do I know what you want? OK, how about Billie Jean or Kenny Chesney? (WTF???)

just thought of another one. im getting ready for a batmitzfa (pre residency days) and i meet the girl, act like the stereotypical dj for her and ask her for a list of the type of music she wants to hear. mind you, im actually meeting her parents to figure out how much they want to pay me. she plays it cool and says ... whatever, i dunno, whatever is on [local pop radio station]. along comes the day, im starting up the party, the kids are filing in and they start standing, not dancing. im playing all the pop hits and getting nothing. one kid comes up to me and lets me know how no one is dancing and i suck, then requests Israeli music. by now, the birthday girl is taking out her shitty party on me getting mad at me for not having any Israeli music and all im thinking is how glad i am that i had that conversation in front of her parents.

Of course it wasn't djing per say, but everynow and then I have these lil kickbacks at my house in the back yard, you know drinking, smokin da hooka(with fruit tabacco not W33d) just having some fun. The music is provided by the ipod with a playlist which I picked to play, just to kick back with. Well the last one, my friend's GF invited some friends of hers over, I didnt mind. What I did mind was that one of them is a Dj and though he could just f*ck with my ipod. He was my guest so i let him, well he just kept stoping the songs and starting another one. Pissed everyone off, and they finally told him that I was a dj and had put the playlist together. then everyone told him not to touch the Ipod again and to put back my playlist. It was funny because he thought he was so cool.

Long story short my cousin knocked him out and the party went on.

I was playing at a volleyball tournament at a school and four times i got the request for "Basshunter - Boten Anna" A very popular song here in Sweden... Me and my friend that were playing together had med some lists of what to play and when and I had it in my list so I told em that... And finally when i play the song a girl walks up to med and almost screams "Why do you play this shit!? It's embarrassing, nobody wants to hear that!" So I look at the people that actually is dancing and say "well, i got four requests and all the people out there dancing doesn't seam to mind..." She turns around and walk away angry and I'm just laughing...

The same gig a dude brought his own burned CD, I'm like: "I ain't got no CD-players" but he starts to nag about the CD in my computer... so after two hours of him telling me to play his CD I say "OK" and play one song. He then comes up to me and says "HEY! you only played one song! Play the whole CD!!" and I'm like "People don't want to hears your CD... I have to mix up different music" and he gets mad and walks away :P

yeah i hear you xfade i often get people who hand me cds of mainly mixed stuff and the want me to play a track on it it may be a good track and i may not have it but how do you mix a fucking track that has no intro and just drops on the chorus some times i try my best to do a mix with the tracks they ask for.
then i tell them bring an unmixed cd next time and i will play the entire track, big mistake now i get handed 3 or 4 cds every night and you cant say you havent got hte track!
so now im the grumpy old dj who gives you the death ray eyes when i get handed a cd dont do it learn by my mistake.

But he somehow knew their were cds players in there, dude stayed there constantly asking me after each song to play the cd. I had to play cool cuz he seemed like he really wanted to stab me if i didnt play the cd.

When she did it and I backed my head up, she followed me, so nomatter what she was shouting into my ear. After the third time, I made a beckoning motion and proceeded to do the same thing to her...only I really shouted...you should have the face she made...after that, she just spoke to me like a normal human being for the rest of the night, which my ear appreciated.

wuhaha, got a new one...

i recently played at a offical studend party at my own university when suddenly a girl, not very cute but acceptable ;) came to my booth an asked me to play something better. First thing I thaught was, damn not again one of those who want something better or just something else but dont know what they want, so i began to talk with the girl, what exactly do you want to hear? As you can imagine she didn't know any song i could play for her. The only thing she insisted on was "something better" or "something else". So I decided to tell the girl, that i am going to play some better music. She was happy and went away, back to the dancefloor which was really full of people dancing... I was playing some old school hip hop tracks everybody knows well. After 10 minutes the girl came back and yelled at me why the hell i didn't play some better music and that i promised her to play some better stuff. I tryed to explain her, that i won't play any other music as long as the people continue to dance and party... She got very upset and stood directly in front of my booth with a very angry face. I thaught damn, but if she isn't able to tell me at least one song she wanted to her i can do nothing for her. After 10 minutes of standing in front of me i just had to laugh at her because she was still so mad at me and didn't stop to look at me that I just had to laugh. Then she got really upset and went away... I think that was definitely the funiest thing ever happend while i was spinning at a party..

a couple summers ago a friend of mine's parents decided to go to europe for about a month, so we did what any respectable highschoolers would and threw the 3 most wicked parties of the summer. The first party wasnt originally planned well, so not too many people showed up. I'm chillin behind my table, playing a mix of stuff off of my firend's laptop and vinyl (i used to be the master at using the variable speed control in widows media player, now that is a low budget system), taking some requests here ant there (it was a tight crowd and there werent any bad requests) and this one drunk kid comes up and starts talking to me. we kind of chat for a while, and the he leans in and points to this girl on the other side of the room. he says "watch this i'm gonna go get laid." I, not believing, say "sure you can try, if you actually do it you can sit in the booth with me and maybe i'll let you try to scratch or something." well, he did it, four consecutive times with four different girls. and then i looked like a fool letting a drunk persont try to scratch for 15 min at the end of the night.

Big Tony 10:27 PM - 2 January, 2007
umm, I am so tired of people requesting, complaining, explaining, asking... it is like "guys, enjoy the night, have some fun, do a little dance and hopefully get laid"!

I think I have heard all types of requests - and I don't even get upset or angry anymore. I just nod, and if I have the request and it fits into my set I drop it. As long as people are nice and request in a polite way.
If not - the only answer they get from me is: "When I am the DJ I decide what to play, the night you are the DJ you can decide what to play - ok?"

Stay safe y'all!

One of the very first bars I ever went to had a saying at the end of the night that the staff would shout sometime near closing time. It was, "Ladies and Gentlemen, this evenings party has come to an end, If you don't work here, sleep here or sleep with someone that works here, make an offer or make your way to the door." Its something that whenever I was given the job of getting the stragglers to leave, I would say. One night about a week or two ago, I said just that.... and as I was cleaning up the booth and unhooking my SSL box, I looked up in to the eyes of my ex from some 5 years ago who said...I'm here to make an offer...

On NYE I was sort of Djing. I was my sister and her fiances party. So I was just messing around for fun. Some 35 yr old guy comes up and says "Play some 2pac...He is the Gangsta Shit!!!" I was like maybe a little Later. He comes back and says "Live inDie in LA" The Is the song. So since I wasnt even really doing much, I just played it. He stands over my tables the whole song singing a long with every word, and hand gesturing to me. I couldnt even look up... I was embarrassed for him!LOL

some requests from this New years eve

- Sexy Back
Some annoying rich asian chick kept asking it... Fuckin' bitch, tryna look mad. Fuck off you sleazy hoe. Actually 4 other girls asked politely for it as well.

- Hips Dont Lie (requested during a hyphy set)
Same asian chick too... Ya, like imma kill the dancefloor for Shakira.

- Fergalicious
I hate the song but it was requested very nicely by some hot white GURL!. I played it and then mixed in a mashup of Fergalicious with a 3 6 mafia beat over it. It got all the hyphy fans excited and pissed off the annoying chicks.

- Crazy In Love
I hate the song. I played the party break. People were still dancin... ha!

The funniest one was something that went "Mac Dre, play anything Mac Dre, cept Feelin' Myself, They fuckin' play that next to beyonce on KMEL. Fuck that gay shit Mac Dre did..." Like whoa, I love Mac Dre, but damn, dissin' a crowd favorite.

When your a DJ, You cant please everyone.

Saturday nite I was spinning old skool at a club. The dance floor was filled with girls, most of them 30-35 years old. It was still early and I was playing some smooth stuff (That Girl-Stevie Wonder)... When it came in all the ladies dancin screamed cause they loved the song, but one woman came up to the booth and said, "What the hell is this... It sounds awfull, just terrible." I told her to look at everyone else having a great time... It's Stevie Wonder...She said, "It just sounds like shit."


New Years...1AM...time for a quick James Brown set...It's a Hip-Hop club, but everyone is open minded about some old skool, funk and 80's...
A girl comes up to the booth angry that we're playing the wrong stuff, cause it's not the kind of club for this (while "Sex Machine" by James is playing)... The floor is packed, everyone else is having a great time, but she's really mad cause we're not supposed to play "that kind" of stuff now...I told her to show some respect, it's James Brown...She kept talking but I ignored her.

Girl: Sorry to bother you

Girl: I don't wanna bother you, but do you take requests?
Me: Sure, what do you wanna hear? (hurry the fuck up)
Girl: All my friends are hear and one of my friends really wants to hear a song.
Me: OK, what song??? (get to the fuckin point)
Girl: Well I'm not sure if your gonna have it...
Me: WHAT SONG? (are you an idiot,girl?)
Girl: Ok, Ok, ummm... it's that one where the guy says Ballin'...

We used to say the same thing at my club.. till the owners son (who is the manager) told us we were not allowed to say it any more b/c it sounded sleezy and no other clubs said it like that to get peeps to leave. But then again.. he also banned us from playing alomst all Crunk, Snap, and southern (ATL) music... and then complains to the dj's that peeps complain about the music that we play (not our falt they want to hear the hot stuff right now with happends to be ATL style music around here).. but then again.. me and the other dj were playing some newer Baltimore house one night after we closed on our computers to see what we liked the best.. and he came up and said.. whats this type of music.... no one around here will like this type of music, Dont ever play it in this club.... so we played an hour of it the next night we both DJed and had the dance floor packed the whole time.. he came up to the DJ booth and said... "man you guys need to play this music more often"... but he thinks if we dont play alot of pre-made mash-ups then we didnt play good music and the crowd didnt like it.

Some girl comes up to me and asks me to play Akon "Smack That". I told her I'd play it. She comes up a 4th time and I tell her "If you want to hear it that badly why don't you go out to your car and plug in your ipod and listen to it."


I think I met her last weekend in the Marina. She claimed to be Eminem's cousin and after coming up to me 3 times in 5 minutes, after I'd already played Mary J Blige for her, called me a few names when I sarcastically thanked her for contributing so many good ideas to my set.

Anyway.

My favorite question ever was a couple years ago around midnight with a packed floor...

Him: Yo, my college buddy is here from Minnesota and he used to play the music at our frat parties.
Me: Great.
Him: Is it cool if he DJs for half an hour?
Me: Where?
Him: Here.
Me: When?
Him: Now.
Me: No.
Him: Why not?
Me: He doesn't have any records with him.
Him: Can he play your's?
Me: No.
Him: How about for $10?
Me: .......
Him: Can you at least play something I can get laid to?
My partner: Homey, there is not a single song we could play that's gonna get you laid tonight.

Yea def man... esp. when the chick asked for Fergalicious, I was dropping slower crunk/snap/top 40 stuff... It be wack to jump from 86bpm crunk to 128 pop to please someone... After Midnight NYE, everything was past 115 so its all game.

Back to the annoying rich asian chick, She annoyed the shit out of me.... came up to me 5 times asking me to play Shakira - Hips Dont Lie. Party is jumping to some hiphop and she wants Shakira. and then that STARE OF DEATH! I waved good bye.

My set was 10pm-2am. People get real pissy when you cant play certain shit at a certain time, like man.... Im playing for the next 3 hours, Its bound to come on if the vibe is right. Play some Messy marv next, Play some Mac Dre next.... Imma play what keeps the ladies dancing. Some music just kills the mood. All depends on the party and the timing.

Anyways, some of the Hyphy crowd doesn't know how to relax when it comes to requesting some hyphy songs.....Had some dude request Mac Dre multiple times and then ask for some other bay area sh*t, and then finally he came back after I did a straight 30 min bay area mix talking about: "If you know whats good for you, you'll play some bay area sh*t right the f*ck now!"

My response: "Whoa homey I didn't know we were back in grade school, excuse me....Mr. Bouncer, Mr. Wanna be tough guy needs an attitude arrangement and a one way ticket out the door and on his ass......

FATTY FAT FAT 5:50 PM - 16 January, 2007
i'm in the batters box, standing just behind the dj who is on the verge of ending his set. this 40 year old sleaze ball with greasy hair and an open collar shirt for some reason is standing right there next to me.

me: dude sorry you're gonna have to get off the stage
him: it's ok i'm friends with the promoter.
me: ok whatever.
him: yeah i used to dj too, with (insert names of three of the biggest club dj's in the city)
me: oh word.

the other dj that was done finishes, i start cuing up my first track. all of a sudden something pushes me to the right. i look to the left and fuckwad is bent over the dj booth eyeing my serato pushing me away (inadvertantly but absentmindedly) from the decks in the process.

me (annoyed): sorry man you're just gonna have to just gimme a little room to operate here
him: ok sorry (backs off)

as soon as i return my focus to the tables, i am being pushed away again... this time i am literally to the right of all the equipment, basically i am standing on the side of the setup, reaching over and frantically trying to mix the track i was about to drop, the other song is on the verge of ending, and fuckwad is standing squarly in the middle of the dj setup staring at my laptop. i bring in the new song, mix is totally off, dancefloor clears. i push the fucker away, continue to play (on tilt which is never a good thing) and throughout the course of my short set, the fucker is leaning on me with his face right in my laptop trying to tell me what songs to play and at one point i turn and he's actually scrolling and typing on my laptop. lucky for me there is no security on hand and all the other dj's and promoters are nowhere to be seen, so i get to hang out with this douchebag for another half hour.



another time i'm djing with my sisters boyfriend (who as it turns out is an amazing dj), i just let him use my serato, he pops in a cd and plays off the wav files on it. at the end of his set he tells me how my computer isnt ejecting his cd. i tell him i'll get it out after i drop the next track. meanwhile a friend of his has appeared and he's telling his friend (also a dj, but not a serato user) how my laptop still has his cd in it. the guy says 'oh you just have to do this' and begins to lean over the dj booth.... at the EXACT MOMENT i drop the next track, the dude clicks the track eject button on scratch live. DEAD SILENCE. i tell him to get the fuck away from my computer..... a few weeks later he asks me if i wanna work his new years party. i'm thinking maybe. then he asks me if i'll bus. HELL TO THE NO (no disrespect to bussers, i've done it before, it's hard work.)


one last thing for me to vent about...
i'm playing one of my weekly gigs and seated at the bar right behind me is a local television personality and a friend of hers who i am acquainted with. the tv girl comes over to ask me what song i'm playing, i tell her. she is obviously interested in the music i'm playing, i let her look at the playlist that is on the screen, and step away from the booth to say hi to the other girl that i know. thirty seconds later i turn around back to the booth and tv girl has my headphones on and is SCRATCHING. needless to say it was awful. i sneak up behind her, take off the headphones, she turns around and laughs, i am quite annoyed but i let it slide because i wanna sleep with her.

about three weeks later she shows up again. the manager of the bar is standing right behind me and tv girl starts talking to him. she starts going on about how she wants a night, and she will be an awesome dj and she just got serato. so after about 20 minutes of trying to convince the manager to give her a night she comes up to me.
her: hey how much was your interface
me: my what?
her: your serato
me: oh the box, $700
her: fuck!
me: i thought you said you got serato
her: i already have the program, isnt there a way i could get the interface for cheaper
me: no, the program is free, the hardware is $700
her:...
me: you cant use the program without the hardware
her: fuck
me: LOL

and that's pretty much it. actually i have tons of other stupid stories but those were the first three to come to mind.

About midnight, floor is packed, dancers and bar is going crazy!!! this dude walks up and says " You guys are hard to dance to! You will play a song they when we decide to get up and dance to it you change it! Please just play the song and then fade in the next..."

DJUnknown 6:29 PM - 16 January, 2007
^^^How old was he? At cabarets (I know in your instance it was a club), where older people tend to frequent, they like to sit and get up, and hear the song all the way through (so it gives them time to decide to get up and dance). The first time I DJed one it was like WTF...they would dance to one or two songs then walk off the dance floor and sit down, while more people were walking on the dance floor so basically the whole time there was a handful of people walking back and forth to the dancefloor at about every other change in song.

"can you, like, stop... playing?"
meanwhile i was like wtf? i have talked to each of you personally in drunken conversations and you told me you love drum and bass... especially ragga. so... here's the beastest ragga set you will ever hear... no dice. punk asses. they put on 93.9... DC's shittiest top chart hip hop and rnb radio station, i got crunk and forgot about it. but if they wanted radio from the start, why the hell did i drag my entire life's worth of music over there just to be shut down right away? i coulda saved the effort (and had more drinks by now)

I got my most ridiculous one last week.

After the Saints win, some fans came up and asked me to play the Saints fight song. The problem was that I was in Dallas, where as a Cowboy fan, I would rather cut my balls off rather than play any other cities fight song. Regardless of that fact, I don't play sports songs anyway. Go Cowboys, Go Mavs (the Stars/Rangers really aren't our team)

I work at this dump of a Bar, but its entertaining for me and the pay is actaully better than at nicer establishments I work at as well, Go figure! I know all the bar staff and bouncers so i do and say what I please.
Any way, I get the f*cking absolute wackest request here, All the time.

Really old drunk lady, I mean OLD! "Can you play the waltz?!"
* this crazy bitter bitch asked me to play this genre of music 5 times, I was polite the first 4 times she asked.
I finally said "Look bitch, STOP, SEE THAT BIG SIGN" referring to a 2 foot by 6 foot banner with my name on it and a description of the music (top 40, hip hop, Dance..etc.) to be played at this event.
Then "GET THE F*CK OUT FROM INFRONT OF MY BOOTH, or I'LL UNPLUG YOUR DIALYSIS MACHINE"

Drunk old lady: "I got a $20 bill with your name on it if you play nickelback"
Me: "No you dont, now go sit down and shut up"
SHE WAS PISSED
* NOTE this C*NT above was rude to me earlier on and I wasnt havin it from that Bitch!!

Pantera!! Who the F*ck asks a DJ to play Pantera in the middle of 20 or 30 people dancing to hip hop.

I get people all the time who come over and stare at the serato setup. I usually tell drunks that I'm actually a personnal Accountant of the Bar and they set my office up in the DJ Booth on accident and that if you have a request you have to ask one of the bartenders.

At other places I cant do this so i've developed a series of replys to miserable requests . . . like

Person asks for song: hey I dont like this can you play this?
Me: "Uhmmmmm hold on." then ignore the person, if they ask again or stand there and stare i then say "Uhmmmmm no, NEXT"

haha

Friday night I dj at my usual spot. I start out at about 9:30 even though I technically am not supposed to be there til 10:00 cuz people around here go out earlier and if they don't see a dj, usually they just take off ta the next bar.

Anyway, to get back on topic, the very first song I play some women in her forties starts dancing way to intensely for what I am playing and even though its dark I can tell she is just blasted. I see her making her way toward me and I am thinking to myself "great" so I look down and continue to do my thing. She has this boa wrapped around her neck and she starts waving it around her head like a fucking helicopter and trying to get it as close to my face as possible without actually hitting me with it. You can imagine how thrilled I was. Next she lays flat on her back in the middle of the dance floor and continues to wave the damn boa around her head and I'm like wtf. Finally the bartender escorted her out but holly shit!

sorry, I know that wasn't really a comment or request story but I thought it was worth mentioning.

I think one of my other most memoriable moments when I'm rocking the floor with some sick dirty breaks and this chick comes up and asks if I can play Madonna.

I'm thinking, you're coming here for the music I'm playing, not what you hear on (insert over played local dance radio station here) radio.

obscure labeling. key. dude proceeded to play horrible music all day but i had nothing to pick and thus couldn't say shit.

obscure labelling might work but that might also work against you as well.... if you can't find your own tracks, i find that a bigger problem than people thumbing through... especially if you're rocking serato. what are you going to do, obscure every single track?
DJ Autograph 7:50 PM - 22 January, 2007

Yo, you peeps gotta get a privacy filter for you laptop from 3M...awww yeah.

Last week at my gig there was a bacholorette party that rolled up. They were friends with the promoter and he was like "yo, just play some of the songs they want if you can". So the fat bacholorette come up to me and requests too $hort. I play blow the whistle and then I need a freak for the bacholorette vibe right...I figure its all good and continue my ish. Then she comes up again saying play some more too $hort...again and again and again and again. I keep telling her I played all I can and to go dance. Finally she gets a really mad look on her face and screams at the top of her lungs "PLAY MY SONGS RIGHT NOOOOOOW!!!!!". My boy was standing with me and we both looked at each other and start falling out. I was like "look, you need to back away from the gear right now." My girl saw the whole act and came up to the chick's friends who she sorta knew and calmly told them to chill their friend out if they knew what was good for her.

School Dance - "What song are you playing next?" after every song!

Dj Spox 10:01 PM - 28 January, 2007
HA - incredible topic
now My few cents

1 - Not Nice
Hip-Hop Party - Full Floor is movin suddenly some Thuggish dude walk in to the booth and starts lookin at me like "i'm gonna kill You right now" ive mixed in another track then he get closer and sain something like this "mmhmggmmdmmgmd thmmm gdmmmmdm ??" He was like 6.5 tall And a wasn't feelin comfortable so i kindly ask Him " sorry I didnt hear You" the he starts tryin to grab my arm so i didn't hava chioce and hit the stop button on my turntable

silence was incredible - every pair of eyes was pointing at my booth and this gangsta dick. He freezed and i asked " can I have some security please ?? " Thankfully it was quick reaction and I can resume A party. But magic was gone for few nights...

2 - funny
girl: can you please play this.....
me: sorry, what ??
girl: ( movin closer) This (starts to sing ONE note like) LAAAAA !!!!!
Me: eeee (blink) eeee... maybe some title ?
girl: you don't now anything about Music

3 - Life
I was contracted on two hour set as Special Guest. I walked into the club it was almost full but resident dj was playin some $#it and dance floor was empty. I connected SSL and My mixer, get something to drink and strt play @ 00 When i was finnished @ 2am crowd was incredible dancefloor was packed fully people goes bananas allover the place dancin on tables etc. Then Manager comes in and sayin' I cant get full wage because because it's much less crowd that he expected and party is not really good. Exactly in this moment this local Dj put some "outoftempo" "outofmood" track and everyone in the club started chantin "spox, spox, spox" I've just looked at Him and didn't have to say anything - he payed me every cent...

Why do people ask for something that is already playing? Is it their deep sub-conscious telling them that the song that is on is one they want to hear, yet they feel the urge to change what is already the same? I'm sure there is a psychological explanation of why people do and say the things they say. I believe most of them are insecure and feel uncomfortable, so they must channel some of that energy to you.

Control freaks who always want their way. You can't please these people. If you play a request, you make it worse. That person will come back and want something else. It is better to not take people serious and laugh stuff off.

On friday, this girl came up to me while everyone was dancing to rap and said, "Can we get some Elvis?"
"NO"
"Whynot?"
"Elvis was a hero to most, but he never meant shit, to me you see, Straight up racist that sucka was simple and plain, Muthafuck him and John Wayne!"
CMS 1:04 AM - 30 January, 2007
Why do people ask for shit they know is going to get played. This girl comes up this weekend and asks me, "Do you have any Eminem up there?"

Now, the place I play at plays pretty much all hip hop / top40 MTV shit so I told her that her question was like going to McDonald's and asking if they had milkshakes.

dude/girl gets up listenin "hisfavouritetrack" on the mp3 alarm clock
then s/he singing it in the shower
s/he listen it in radio in breakfast
s/he puts it out in cd in his car on way to/from work
then he humming it when s/he's gettin dressed for the party
AND THEN..
of course he want YOU to play it in the club...
remember those beatifull times when people Just dance to the good music whatever it was ?
DJ Young Herrera 4:51 AM - 30 January, 2007
I didn't get the digits of my dream request girl...i prefer not to taint my minds impression of the dream girl...if i had talked to her, inevitably i'd have gotten with her taken her out for a nice seafood dinner and never call her again.

either that or her psychotic, nagging, try-to-control-me girl side would have destroyed my fantasy and i'd be back to square one...i prefer her the way i remember...perfecta.

Guy comes up to me to make an announcement that someone is blocking traffic in the parking lot. So I make the announcement that the driver of a black Honda license plate #, blah, blah you need to move your vehicle. So I proceed back to mixing, then 45 seconds later, a lady (I guess one of the people that was blocked in) comes up to me and says

lady: Did you make the announcement?
me: Yes
lady: You did?
me: Yes, I said it twice.
lady: Well, nobody heard it.
me: No, you didn't hear it because your were outside.
lady: Well, say it again and cut that down.
me: I'm not saying it again, but you can.

So I hand her the mic and cut the music off, now she is standing there with a lost for words with everybody looking at her. Go figure.

BTW, is it me, or does it never fails for announcements be made when you have the floor jumping. If you lost you phone dammit, you just lost your shit. Keep it movin'.

Lately, Ive been getting more of the ironic requests like....

"Cut this shit out and play Throw Some D's" while the Kanye remix plays on the system...

"Can you play, um, Walk It out, Instead of this Jim Jones shit" while Walk It Remix with Outkast and Jim Jones plays....

"Can you play some real Mac Dre, not this wack old skool shit" while Mac Dre-California Livin' plays....

Can we bring guns into clubs? Some people just need to get shot in the head...

Me: Witch Rihanna song that she says the work "boy"......

Girl: God you need to learn your music if you want to be any good!

Me: you need to learn that Rihanna uses the word "boy" in more then one song... I cant read minds on witch one it is! (by this point i already knew she was talking about Rihanna ft. SeanPaul - Break It Off.... but i felt like being a dick after the last comment)

I've had that happen many times, but for some reason, it becomes a snowball effect, 'cause other guests have other "important" announcements, which definitely kills any great vibe for the packed dance floor.

usually get the same drunk ass regular ho's getting up on stage to dance.
last wednesday i saw this dumb ass russian ho getting up, she's allways wasted and allways buggin me and throwing me napkins with "akon"written on it, so this time i pre empted her and smacked on smack that! so i wouldnt have to listen to her drunken dribble!
she suddenly turned around,, gave two big thumbs up, spun around again,, buckled in a sideways fashion, with arms flying everywhere, hit the floor trying to grab everything she could on the way down, and managed to knock over the monitor to my left, which was on a tripod..to me it was priceless, something i had been praying for!!
everyone around her looked pissed! i thaught she was about to get a beatdown from everyone in the club! i was hoping...
thankfully the bitch wont get on the stage now!
DJ IzzyRock 6:29 PM - 19 February, 2007
hmmm..I get a few of the above at well.. but one day - i was really tight.
Towards the end of the party - the last announcement was -
"ok we have 30 more minutes to party- so DJ take it away."

I start playing music...Hitting them with the best stuff and everyone's dancing.
Mind you ALL night - i couldnt get into a flow because everyone had something to say.

Reggeatton is playing.

Person #1 - Can i hear some Latin Merengue
2 minutes later
Person #2 - Can i hear some R&B
2 minutes later
Person #3 - Can i hear some Chicken Noodle Soup
2 minutes later
Person #4 - Can you play some Latin Bachata

I got mad - and cue'd up a Merengue track and a Latin Bachata Track on serato internal
and then cue'd up a CD with R&B on CD player 1 - and cue'd up Chicken Noodle Soup on CD Player 2

BROUGHT UP ALL THE DIALS and i got on the mic - since everyone asking for requests
HERE - ALL AT ONCE

and i let that play for a full minute

the LAST 15 minutes of the party ended with everyone laughing at what i did and i left chicken noodle soup playing.

i had 3 people tip me $10 after that craziness
LOL!

Hows about you stay at the damn party like everyone else and you MIGHT get to hear your song if you leave me the hell alone!?


i totally agree... even better.. is i had that guy request his song because he "really likes to dance to it" and he "wants to show off his skills" to a chick he met, and is sure that he'll "get her is she sees him dance to this song."
to make it the most ironic and annoying request the song he wants was the one playing as he was telling me all of the above... when i enform him of that he replies "are you sure???" "...oh yeah, it is huh... can you play it again?"

my last story... i was DJ-ing a 20 year high school reunion. i had 50 requests for different songs from the 80's. i played 4 or 5 of them, and no one danced. a group of 5 or 6 chics came up and requested hip-hop.. and i gor 20 people dancing in 30 seconds.

A lady that was at the side yelled put the 80's stuff back on we like that.

I got my Mic, picked up the request list and let everyone know i was no longer taking requests, and then ripped up the request list and threw it in the air.

i then proceeded to do my thing and packed the dance floor...

This just happened last night...

Some girl comes up to me and asks me to play Akon "Smack That". I told her I'd play it. She comes up a 4th time and I tell her "If you want to hear it that badly why don't you go out to your car and plug in your ipod and listen to it."

A little while later I notice that there's a little water on the dj booth. I keep spinning and I look back and there's even more water than before. So I look around for a spilled drink. I don't see anything but I do see that girl standing up against the wall drinking a bottle of water. So I tell one of my friends to keep an eye on her and I also tell the manager what's going on. Then she walks by me and flips me off! So I pick up a few of the wet napkins I wiped the water up with and I threw em at her. Then the manager grabs her and kicks her out.

Maybe I was outta line with all that, but it sure felt good.


Here is the one better ; I played at this club , where i am resident DJ, it was in december , 25-th december. The place was packed, and it was kind a late , like 02 AM, and this guy comes and ask me if i can change the music, cos , according to him , nobody liked it ( woth a notice is that i was playing some cool house tunes, and crowd was wild ). SO i asked him what he would like to hear , and he goes , i don´t know , play some rock music ( i took a moment to not starting laughing in his face ) and very gently i told him " well we don´t play rock music here " Is it anything else i can help you with ? The guy then starts " this place sucks , bla bla " . And i just put my phones on , ready for a new mix , then he comes back and stars " i bet you play only the music that you like, and don´t give a shit about the rest ". And , still , in veru polite way i told him , i have some rules to follow , and playin rock music is not one of them. Then he starts " you suck , you are the worsth dj ever bla bla ", and still , i didn´t gave this fucker any attention. 3-d time , he comes back , and starts to ask me if he can check out my case and what i have in my laptop ? And right there , i had about enough of this idiot. So i reach to his ear , and tell hem if you don´t go away right know , i will call security and have you thrown out. The idiots then goes personal , calling me all kind of names , and going nuts. Second time i reached to him , saying " i had enough , one more word , and you´ll se what i am capable of ". Then he reaches to the plexi glas that is protecting the gear , takes the tonearm on one of the tables and pull it up. In a second , i took one step back , and smashed him , with everything i had in the face. Security comes ( i didn´t mention that owner is this dude from Lebanon, and he takes him back , with 2 guards , and beat the living shit out of him " Then he think " i´ll go to police, and press some charges against this people". Police arrived, asked questions, i told them the story , and showed them what he did. The owner pressed charges against him , and police was about to take him to the car, then ,the funniest thing of all time , he find the guts , and he hits one polve officer ( a female ). 3 others policeofficers , and 5 guys from club security jumped on him again , and beat some more crap out of him. 2 months later , court finds him guillty on all charges , and he is shaking bars for the next 3 years. And did i mentioned that i slepped with his sister same night :D ? =) God is good...

Girl : Can you play Sexyback ? Please!!!!
Me : I just did. You should do the same.
Girl : But i am not the DJ, you are.
Me : Correct , and i have Sexyback that i just played for you ( she was not getting my negg at this point ) and she left.
The i se her talking to her gf-s, and they laughed at her :) She comes back , start calling me names...
Me : It all may be true , but i still have sexyback , and you don´t. So take your fat ass out of my face or i´ll have the security to kick you and your giant ass out, one at the time .
She left and never came back with any request , ever again. And she is regular at this club =)

(COOL STORY)

I felt like a coat check one night...

I was doing a celeb gig. to get in you had to be on a list, or have one of 50 wrist bands, or the cell number of someone in upper managment for the PR company... If someone like Diddy, Justin Timberlake or a really hott chic asks you to hold their jacket you reply no problem... And if their bodyguard asks you can't say no to a 7 ft tall HUGE black dude(s).

I found the best way to make them happy and get to know them a little better was to look busy and say just come around and get it when your done. (I had no idea who owned what, and with that much Louis Vuitton I figured they would know what bag was theres.) Coolest part, it worked... I got to know them laughed joked and got some cell numbers. they told me when ever i was in town to give them a call... the coolest thing that i ever worked at.

If i remember Aphrodite turns up and just fucks him out of the way.

I get asked about Serato, my way is to tell a few people and when someone asks i say "ask him i told him earlier".
Oh and the "you got this tune" approach is "mabe" and just carry on.

So i went to this new venue last night that is about to open next wendsday, and i got the biggest shoch of my life. Guys, and girls ,imagine that you enter in the club , that is hyped , and you have this huge expectations, you enter , and the main color , lets say 95 % of the club is painted in.. errgghhhh.... PINK. And when i say pink i mean this screaming pink color that just heart your eyes. I turn to the owner and say, dude , are you out of your fucking mind, this ain´t no Miami Vice mfucker ?!?! Are you opening a regular club, or a gay club , what is it ? He looks at me , and starts with this shit " watch you lenguage ". I´m 2.10 meter tall ( i don´t know how much that is in inches ) i can eat this fucker foor dinner if i want to. So after he asks the rest of his crew ( people that are suposed to work in the bar , security etc etc ) what they think , the all say, this is gay man. So he calls the company that did the paint job , and order re painting of the venue :) I mean , seriusly , it is fucking 2007, you are suposed to come up with some groundbraking stuff in design, and what you do is that you paint the fucker in PINK !!!
Then i went to se what the have done with the dj booth. When the gear is on the spot , i can barely turn around , space is that tight. I mentioned that to him and he is like , i had professionals to design that. When i found out who theese professionals are, i find ( and this is sad ) that the bar manager and some russian contractors desided what the DJ booth should look like. I asked if i can take a look on our conntract, he gave it to me , i just took the fucking papper , rip it in pices and got of with words , i quit. I don´t want to be a part of the biggest fucking lie in my life.. PINK!!! FUCKING PINK !!!!!!

And just before opening the club , they put up a website for this fucker. I can explaine this one in words , so you take a look and have a nice laugh :

www.blueheaven.se

I mean, WHAT !?!?! Hotest DJ´s ? The other 2 Dj´s that are playin , are using CD, can barely mix , and they play ( sooo saaaddddd ) Culture Beat " Mr.Vain " ( for you who don´t know the track ) Think 90´s , euro, guy rapping , girl singing , crapy sound =). Yeah , coolest sound :D. And the VIP area is open , basicly 2 tables that you can reserve if you want =). O M G !!!

Dj Sotry ;

Girl : Can you play Shakira - La tortura
Me : When you stop your tortura on me , maybe ?
Girl : What does tortura means ?
Me : When you come up to me and ask me for a song ?
Girl : but you are a DJ , you are suposed to play what people ask you to play ?
Me : And you are suposed to suck every guys dick , if he asks you, aren´t you. But you don´t do that when someone asks you, it has to be on your terms and conditions ? Same here , i play song where ever i want to, and not when you ask me.
Girl : well that is not the same thing , isn´t it ?!
Me ; Yes it is , we are booth asking for favorites ? So, whould mine to sick my dick while i prepare Shakira for you ..
Girl : Fuck you , you stupid asshole...
Me : SECURITY !!!!! :)

you know as bad as drunken idiots are or the mainstream pop junkies, drunken DJs are far worse. i really don't care that you've DJed for 20+ years or if the QFO-technic hybrid turntable you made yourself is better then my setup. this is my job, not yours. quit asking to spin drum and bass at a teenie bopper party, i don't want to battle you, this is a wedding, and don't get your buddy to come up to me and tell me how awesome you are and to give you a chance after i told you to your face, "you're not touching my gear."

oh and i also love those people that'll run out to their cars to get you the cd if you tell them you dont' have something.
John Nasty 9:59 PM - 21 February, 2007

Here's another one for yall.

Dude: What's up man?
Me: What's up.
Dude: I'm a DJ too.
Me: That's what's up.
Dude: What program are you using?
Me: Serato Scratch Live
Dude: Yeah, I need to get that too because I get my stuff off of Limewire right now.
Me: For real.
Dude: I just need to get that so I can have all the music that comes with it.
Me: What music?
Dude: You know, all the stuff you've been playing. It comes with all that, right?
Me: ........Sure does. What kind of tables you use?
Dude: Huh?
Me: What do you play your music with?
Dude: Oh, some Numark CD players.
Me: Which ones? CDX, HDX?
Dude: Ahh, I just know they are Numarks.
Me: Cool man, keep doing your thang.

Next thing I know, he snaps a picture of my setup with his camera phone and walks off. Made sure I had my Baby Eagle close at hand in case he was waiting for me after the joint was over. He probably couldn't even rob me without knowing what he wanted. It probably would have went like this....

Dude: *Pulls out gun* Run that shit man.
Me: Damn, ain't this a bitch!......Alright man, what do you want?
Dude: Give that program that has all the songs in it, along wit them Jordans.
Me: What program with all what songs?
Dude: You know, that seerata live scratch thingamabob.
Me: But it doesn't have all the songs in it.
Dude: Man, don't play with me, I seen you play all the hot new shit I ain't never heard before.
Me: Okay, Okay.....(hands him a control disk).
Dude: Now, was that so hard? You know what...Imma let you keep your Jordans.
Me: Gee, thanks

I feel what you saying nik, but its more of a protection thing from the idiots instead of us just going out looking for trouble. Check this out....in 2005, where I stay was ranked #5 in the most dangerous U.S. cities rankings. Now, we moved down to #15 for 2006, but this is still bad when you consider that there are approximately 30,000 cities in the U.S.

9 Gary, IN

I am always surprised that this place is so rough. I mean, it is a song from The Music Man, for crying out loud!!! How can "my home sweet home" be such a scary place? Take a look at these lyrics:

[i]Gary, Indiana!
What a wonderful name,
Named for Elbert Gary of judiciary fame.
Gary, Indiana, as a Shakespeare would say,
Trips along softly on the tongue this way--
Gary, Indiana, Gary Indiana, Gary, Indiana,
Let me say it once again.
Gary, Indiana, Gary, Indiana, Gary, Indiana,
That's the town that "knew me when."
If you'd like to have a logical explanation
How I happened on this elegant syncopation,
I will say without a moment of hesitation
There is just one place
That can light my face.
Gary, Indiana,
Gary Indiana,
Not Louisiana, Paris, France, New York, or Rome, but--
Gary, Indiana,
Gary, Indiana,
Gary Indiana,
My home sweet home.[/i]

It sounds like sucha happy place...

Guy - yo dawg...(I haven't mentioned how much I HATE being referred to as DAWG...)
Me - .....
Guy - I SAID YO DAWG!!!
Me - Can I help you?
Guy - Yeah...You got mic in there...
Me - Yes
Guy - Check it out I got my instrumentals with me, how 'bout you give me the mic and let me spit for a couple of songs...
Me - Uh-Huh
Guy - Come on man
Me - Oh yeah I forgot tonight WAS open mic night (as I am reaching for the mic)
Guy - Hey man thanks
Me - (on the mic, say some shit to the crowd) Oh yeah sorry open mic night for me...now get the hell outta here..

Do people honestly think Just cause they got some instrumentals with them they can walk right in give them to the DJ and they are the next big rap star....I HATE STUPID PEOPLE!!

Maybe she was talking about that nick cannon/fatman scoop joint, "It's your birthday."

I usually play that when people ask for "the birthday song" and they come running back to the booth waving their hands, "NO NO THAT'S NOT IT...THE GO SHORTY ONE!!!"

"Are you gonna play some more hip hop?"(its never refered to as rap for some reason,stinkin radio stations)

(playing rock)
"We really liked the 80's stuff"

(playing rap)
"Do you have any hip hop?"(???)

(playing house)
"Is the music coming from the computer?"
"No its coming from the speakers"

Well at least at the end of the night some drunk broad said I was the best dj she has ever heard in her life!
I bet she tells all the djs that.
matt212 12:19 AM - 26 February, 2007
Somebody must have opened the flood gates with the ridiculous comments.

Last night, I was playing a mix cd while people are showing up. So then it was a nice number of people that were there, so the girl party it was said....

Girl: When are you going to start playing?
Me: When I get paid the rest of my money.

So then later, since it was younger crowd they didn't know how to act. Started screaming where they were from and throwing up sets. Tried to calm them down be playing some mellow stuff, but wouldn't you know it, they were throwing up sets to Ciara's Promise. Couldn't believe that shit. Police came and shut it down early because of the noise spilling out. After that, I was packing up and one of the girls came to me and said...

Girl: Since the party was ended early, could we getting some money back?
Me: HELL NO!

Last night I got a napkin from an old man with "David Mathews Crush" scrawled on it.(What's up with these napkin requests?)I just laughed it off and thought nothing of it.
About ten minutes later, some broad approaches me and says "Did you say you don't have Dave Mathews because you don't want to play it?"

"No. I said I did'nt have any Dave Matthews because I DONT HAVE ANY DAVE FUCKING MATTHEWS, ok?"

"Okay"

My last residency was sweet... the club was in a converted 3-screen movie theater. We turned the entire projection floor into the dj booths, and the stairs led down right next to the bar. We'd hang a clipboard next to the door, one for each room and check it every 30 minutes or so.

But the door stayed locked. :D

so immediately im like, what? you couldve at least asked lady. so i just ignored them both. however, her girl takes my hand shoves it in her shirt and says "so your not going play my girls song?"..

im like, as soft and nice as your C-cups feel, im not going to play that song just b/c you all are rude. your girl could have asked me nicely and not TELL me what to play. STRAIGHT PLAYED THEM BOTH! of all the years i have been djing, i have NEVA had someone TELL me what to play! then i thought about it like,.....maybe i shouldve asked the C-cups chick for her number cus her tits did feel nice!..LOL

some women are just nuts!....

If the club owner is happy, you're happy. Whenever I flip the floor people come up whining "Why don't you play stuff we can dance to" to which my reply is "We're not here for the free dancing, we're here to sell drinks!!"

If the bar makes money when you work you have a better chance of getting a regular gig.

ahh but if the customers are complaining during that time you flip the floor you are not doing it right... you gotta play something that gets the customer off the floor to the bar without them knowing what you are doing.

"Ice Cube - It was a good day" usually does the trick...

I had a girl this weekend work her drunk way to the booth and while she was trying to remember what she wanted to request, she used my 1200 to break her stumble and there goes the needle off the record...... luckily i had another track already cued up and went right to it! Then I followed up by grabbing the mic and boo-ing and pointin at here as the crowd joined in... I wouldnt doubt she was gonna go cry in the car...

I need a cattle prod just to keep the sexy b*tches off me when I dj. sometimes it just gets a little crazy...

but that's what you gotta do. you gotta keep your head on a swivel in a vicious cock fight.
dj fluffylumpkins 8:56 PM - 12 March, 2007
this weekend i had this girl come up to me say hi and "do you remember me", well i must have looked blankly at her as she followed up with "i danced on the boxes all night on halloween"

"Damm girl i have slept drunk and masterbated several times since then jump up on the box bend over and i will see if it jogs my memory"

The other thing is when i am MC'ing retards hand my thier phones with a request typed on it (i swear one day i am going to keep the phones as tips), this mexicool dude wanted the akon and snoop track and had typed "i wanna fuck you" on his phone, so my response was "You wanna fuck me, no thanks you are not my type"

and finally this weekend a dude wandered into the booth early on friday saying he was a dj and could he see what starz music i had ( an old local club), he took one look at my SSL screen and goes "oh you do not have pcdj red", well i did 5 years ago but not any more, and off he wandered looking pissed off.

Oh and i forgot about the "wanna know everything" security guard, ohhh whats this how does it work, can i spin it back wards, can you make it go wiki wiki wiki, etc. Then he tried to spin back when i was digging in a crate and when he knocked the needle he rested his ham sized hands on the cart , arrrrrrrrrrrgh

yanno security is there to keep the crazies out not to employ them!

That's actually part of your job as a DJ. Gotta know when to flip the floor.


when I started in this game (198something) i was taught that in those days you should flip the floor at least once an hour and at midnight or so play a slow song to get people to couple up and double your drinks sales. At least now days they have dropped the idea of the slow song and flipping the floor is required less often.

Quick story: One night this lady kept bugging me for nothing but Micheal Jackson. It was a weeknight and the bar was slow, so I obliged and played her request. Come to find out she was a "Secret-Shopper" sent in to check my customer-relation skills.

Since I played all her songs, I recieved high marks and management has since left me alone to play what I want.

Last night I am spinning a lounge/bar. It's never busy, and I just play whatever. I just mix up.

I am playing "Award Tour", the two songs before this were "Find A Way" & "Check The Rhime" I was doin' a little tribe set.

This girl comes up to me and says "I gotta white boy with me who thinks he's black. Can you play some hip hop like the Mims song."

I didn't even feel like getting into it with here. No I didn't play Mims either. Just kept it moving, went on to some old school Rakim.



Also, some girl just messaged me on myspace requesting songs for this weekend. Wants to hear Baby Huey. I hate that effin song. Should I write her back and let her know now I am not playing that ish?

One I get quite a few times lately. As preamble, I am a resident on saturday nights and strictly play house all night.

girl: can you play hip-hop?
me: we don't play hip-hop here.
girl: are you serious?
me: yes I am. is this your first time here?
girl: no... i was here last saturday and you played hip-hop..
me: (walks away)


A funny one that happened a long time ago happened with a promoter I was working for was really, REALLY wasted one night:

girl: can you play something with words in it? all this music sounds the same.
promoter: (slurring) have a drink, close your eyes and will all sound good to you.
girl: i don't drink

My biggest gripe to this day is people requesting songs of the opposite bpm range than what is currently playing.

Examples:

Play some 125-120 party cuts, Crooklyn Clans and mashups. Girl walks up and says "Can you play WALK IT OUT?" (130 to 80)

Also the opposite... While WALK IT OUT plays, Dude walks up "Can you play STUNNER Shades?" (80 to 120)

WTF! LOL. Not only do people have no style, They also have no rhythm either.

Dj KaGeN 7:12 PM - 17 April, 2007
people do not understand flow and groove because the radio interjects commercials in there...

When posed with a huge differential in BPM change _ I quickly explain that the track is too slow/too fast to play. Ya, I get the bummed look, I say I'll work my way back to it. Generally this is enough and they leave, if they persist. I ask them, "Have you ever ever pulled the emergency brake while driving 70 miles an hour on the freeway." They say "no" quickly and realize my exact point moments later, especially after I say, "Well then, I'm not going to do that to my dancefloor." and place the headphones on and get back to it.

my favorite dick move to do to a DJ while they're playing is to plop myself in front of them, put my cell phone to my ear and then when I get their attention, make the "turn it down" motion with my hand.

You'd be surprised at how many DJs actually reach for the volume knob before giving you the finger.

I do it to my friends all the time when they're playing :D.

Me: "I don't listen to Power."
Girl: "The fuck? What kind of DJ are you?"
*I hit the break on the song playing and grab the mic*
Me (on the mic): IF YOU'RE HAVING A GOOD TIME TONIGHT MAKE SOME FUCKING NOOOOOOISE!!!"

i'm not a mind reader, i like requests. I tell people, if you want a song you better request it because you can only blame yourself if you dont let me know.

tell ya what, stop the music. i'll do it right now. announce "this lady in front of me requested this next song... give her a hand, its a great one... you should all love it"

and then i would play a shitty 80's rock song for 30 seconds before i shut it off.

but come on people, the I used to be a dj comment, can you play something blah blah blah.. that really can't be the most ridiculous things you experience because that happens just about every day all over the world.. give us something really juicy :)

I already posted my most ridiculous comment/request earlier, I can tell you the worst thing I did while dj'ing :D

once this girl wanted be to take her purse, I said no, no and no.. when she asked me the 4th time I told her next time I was gonna get really upset if she asked again, so she just threw the purse into the booth. I managed to catch it before it hit the turntable and I just threw it back into a crowd of 600 people.. all while the club manager was watching. needless to say it wasn't too popular with managment so I told everyone to fuck off, to make a long story short she came to the club 3 days after wanting to tell how sorry she was for her behaviour. and guess what? 4 years later and I still got a resident spot there ;)

I constantly get girls asking to dance with them on the dance floor. HELLO! If I come and dance - the music will stop and NOBODY will dance.


What to do in this situation...

"I can't, but come help me DJ"

Invite them into the booth.
Turn the Vol fader all the way down on the deck you're not using.
Put their hand on the dead record, and pretend to help them 'drop a beat' after a breakdown on the other side.
Since you faked the whole thing it will sound great, and now she feels super special.

didnt you know that everyone who has a "music libary" is a DJ, and everyone knows best?
next time just ask them how they got lucky enough to have the night off.

I have not only my 'normal' visit cards, but also 'special' visit cards with me at every gig.
Anoying people get my 'special' card:

A dj is a leader, NOT a server.
So, I'm not a jukebox!!!

(Een dj is een leider, GEEN dienaar.
Dus een dj is GEEN jukebox!!!)


you'll be surprised how good this works...

'Like what?'

i'm an ass sometimes... i would have stopped the song, and got on the mic and pissed her off. the last time i had a gig where people made a bunch of requests (it was a 20 year reunion) when they didnt dance to the songs, i ripped up the request list in front of everyone and said i wasnt taking any requests the rest of the night

Here's one that happened to me tonight. I was Djing a boat cruise for a High School and the "Cha Cha Slide" was playing. The Whole crowd was screaming and into it doing the routine and all. After that song, I mix into another big cheesy pop hit, "Don't Cha" and 2 teachers/organizers of the function come up to the bar (which is connected to the DJ Booth) and ask the bartender to play the "Cha Cha Slide" song again so they can film it. He says "Yeah, no problem" and comes over to me and tells me they requested the Cha Cha again. I say to the bartender "tell them to come to the door of the booth and ask me for it, as I am the DJ." The teachers/organizers are still at the bar asking over and over about replaying the damn Cha Cha Slide (I can hear them faintly from the DJ booth), so I go near the bar and signal them to come to door on the side of the DJ booth. So one of the teachers finally come to booth and I politley tell them I overheard them request the Cha Cha again and I'll play it next (when someone is paying between $10,000-$15,000 for a cruise ship party, you break the DJ code of ethics sometimes to play a song again. Plus I thought it would be good for the school when they go back to their home (out of country) they would have good memories of Toronto and their trip.) What does the lady do instead of thanking me, she looks at me with a smirk and says "now can I have a bottle of water?" I respond, "Lady, I'm not the bartender - I'm the DJ. The bar is right over there" (pointing to where she first made her request). She looks at me in surprise and walks back to the bar to join the other teacher/organzier and sees the bottle of water she ordered from the bartender earlier, sitting on the counter. As the teacher/organzier leaves the bar, the bartender walks over to me and I say "what a bitch!" (referring to the teacher) and says no she's a nice lady, she just tipped me $10. I'm like "what the fu#!", "that should be my $10". I played the song. (Drinks at the bar were all complimentary, included with the cruise.) Can't win em all. lol.

i had a pretty irksome one last night.

as i was playing kanye's "golddigger", another "dj" (he admitted he has decks n stuff) suggested that "billie jean" would mix in perfectly.

me - you realize that i'm currently at 93 bpm and "billie jean" is about 117
him - (thinks) you're right.....but i could still do it. take out the bass...
me - (glares)
him - ok. i think i'll shut up now.

Thats because Microwave BPM's are on a different numbering system. Multiply Goldigger * Pi (3.14~) then Divide by Young Joc, Subtract 2 Lean Like a Cholo's and then Divide by 3. Thats your correct microwave BPM.

The Billie Jean Rmx of No Diggity by Blackstreet is 94 bpm and would work. Perhaps that was the version he was thinking of . . . but then again, he could just be an idiot!

Wassup fellas? I have to say thanks, I've been laughing my ass off reading all of this. No DJ has ever done a gig, spun a club or been the man at a house party without hearing some dumb-ass say something. My top 7 are from weddings in California,
1.) Do you have anything good? ( Ans: No I can only play shit you hate )
2.) Everyone here will dance if you play my song.( Ans: good then I'll play it last and go out like a Rock Star )
3.) Come on bro,where's the HYphy? (Ans: I keep that in my truck for the good parties)
4.) What You Got? (Ans: Nuttin, what you got?)
5.) Can I see your music? (Ans: no, but you can HEAR it on the floor like everyone else)

I will play 2pac if you can tell me what group he was in b4 going solo.... most of the time they say.. "aw come on man... just play it, I dont know the answer to that".. them im like.. you dont deserve to hear 2pac... modt of the time these are the young punks who thinks there shit does not stink (mostly young white guys trying to look cool to the DJ.. and no im not being racest)

Me: No, I'm sorry...that you're depressed though. BTW, who was that dude who came up to me BEFORE and I told him the same thing?

Chick: You really wanna know? That's my EX-FIANCEE'....We were supposed to get married...blah ..blah ..blah...goes off into this long drawn out story....

dizzyrocks2001 3:17 AM - 1 June, 2007
Oh, and this one time (at DJ camp) I was spinning at a venue that had a custom DJ table on coasters (i.e wheels). I know, stupid concept. Even stupid-er was someone had put tea-light candles on the ledge of the table and I was too dumb to forsee the consequences of this. So of course the first drunken idiot that comes up to me says "Hey bro can you play...." and then bumps into the table causing the candles to fall onto my Numark CDX's (well technically they fell mostly into the recessed part of the road cases and a little wax got on my decks BUT STILL!).

Me: (frozen in shock)
Him: Sorry about that bro... anyways, can you play blah blah blah.
Me: You really expect me to play your fucking request after what you just did?!


What else pisses me off is really drunk chicks precariously hovering their drinks over my gear. Or people who leave their drinks on top of my subwoofer (or on my table).

I mean come on people. Sometimes I tell them ill play it in a second.. thn 30 mins l8r they come back up and say.. can you please play that b/c i need to go.. but i want to hear it first, Then i tell them that i only play request after 1:30am... then 2 songs l8r i say on the mic.. going out by request and play a diff song (even if no one requested it) ... is that mean?

I hear this, a few years ago I used to work for an under 21 club, if you have never had this pleasure, its probably the most hellish night of your life, especially if your 22. So the owner instructed me that I have to get every request played within two songs......DO YOU KNOW FRIGGIN DIFFICULT THIS WAS lol, I mean they requested every crappy song I have ever heard, I mean there was at least 12 request for my neck and my back, which I get it, it was 02, 03, still hot then, but these kids wanted the thong song ect. Nightmare.

I had a good one last night, its 1 am, I just finished playing "Beautiful Girls", I had like 10 requests for this, but I told all of them to come back @ 1, thats when the song will be on. A chick comes into the booth starts whispering in my ear saying how some Disturbed would really get this party started lol, cause thats going to work, nice transition, Beautiful Girls to The Sickness lol

I solved one of our biggest problems because I am a genious!

You know the chick who feels the need to grab the side of your head and yell in your ear while holding your head so you can't get away...

I had one of those the other night, so I responded to her in kind. I grabbed the side of her head and shouted directly into her ear. The conversation went like this:

Headgrabber grabs my head and says: "Hey can you play the big butts song?"

I grab her by the side of her head and lock in a good grip so if she squirms she still won't be able to get away, position my lips right over her ear and shout, "THE SONG YOU ARE REQUESTING IS CALLED BABY GOT BACK. IT'S BY SIR MIX A-LOT. THE VIDEO HAD A BUNCH OF GIRLS DANCING ON WHAT LOOKED LIKE PAPER MACHE BUTTS. THAT SONG IS VERY FAST AND THE STUFF I'M PLAYING RIGHT NOW IS SORTA SLOW SO YOU'LL HAVE TO WAIT ABOUT AN HOUR UNTIL I GET TO THAT PORTION OF MY SET. THIS IS PAINFUL ISN'T IT. YOU KNOW DJ'S REALLY HATE WHEN YOU GRAB THE SIDE OF THEIR HEAD AND YELL INTO THEIR EAR. YOU PROBABLY SHOULDN'T DO IT ANYMORE.

Buzhi 9:34 PM - 16 June, 2007
I've been reading this thread for some time and it always feel good to read painfull stuff others experience. I play at two universities partys so all the stuff happens there.

Uni1

I'm playing at the bar before opening the dancefloor and as I'm standing by the players some dude yells at me while I have my headphones on. I take them off and look at him with a "what the fuck do you want"-look and he goes "One beer..." I didn't even respond to that and put my phones back on.
It happened several times but he was the only one who actually yelled at me while I'm standing with my phones on.

Another night I'm playing at the dancefloor. I play stuff that's played out at the radio/clubs/hits and the crowd is 85% exchange students (this is happening in Stockholm, Sweden). I'm playing on a stage on which pretty much anyone could climb up on/go up on at the sides. I'm in the middle of a hip-hop/rnb set and I'm about to mix in the next song when this dude comes up from nowhere and stands in front of the table. I tell him to wait with a finger and mix in the song but he still leans in and tries to yell through the headphones. When I'm done I take the phones off and ask him what he wants.
D (dude): Do you have anything people would recognize? (Sexyback was playing)
Me: Obviously you don't mean club music, what do you mean?
D: I don't know, people want something to sing to, just put on some swedish music.
Me: Folkmusic/National music?
D: I don't know.
Me: I don't understand what you mean, just let me do my job.
D: Ok.
I didn't realize I should've told him that most of the crowd is exchange students and can't sing to swedish music if they even recognize it.
15 minutes later he's back.
D: Do you have any schlager? (Eurovision song contest, ABBA etc)
Me: I'm paid to play clubmusic, so no.
D: Ok, ok. Nothing personal, I was just wondering.
another 20 minutes later he comes up yet again.
D: Do you have any Björn Skifs? (I did, but I wasn't gonna play anything he requested)
Me: No
D: Ok.
And that was the last I saw of him.
Through the night I play pretty much every over-played song from the radio there is, so Hips don't lie wasn't an exception. I played it 20 minutes before closing and after two songs during five minutes I got requests from five different chicks for that song. I put it on as the last song and one minute into it the lights turned on and I cut off the music. This was happening during the same night as the dude above.

Uni2

Some thug comes up and requests PIMP. I was slowing down the tempo anyways so I'd put it on later (I was on 105 bpm when he asked for it). On these gigs we have a stage with a booth on which people can't climb up on, so he stood by the stage starting from two songs after he request untill I actually played it, which was like 10+ song later and gave me the classic "When are you gonna play my song"-look. When he was leaving he came up to me and thanked me for a great night tho, which is always nice.

Same night a chick comes up and starts asking for songs:
C: Do you have *something*?
Me: No
C: Do you have *something else*?
Me: No
C: Do you have *something else*?
Me: No
C: What do you have?
Me: I have lots of songs
C: Can I look through your case?
Me: No.
So I show her Next Episode and she finally nods.

Later that night a dude on crickets (well the things you use if you got a broken leg or):
D: Where's the beer?
Me: What?
D: Where's the beer?
Me: *points to the nearest of the five bars* There
He gave me a dirty look and walked away.

Another night when I'm playing at a smaller hip-hop floor a guy and a chick comes up:
C: Hey, could you play some Rammstein if we both make out with you?
Me: Nah, I think I'll pass.
C: Ok, how about if you make out with one of us and you can choose who
Me: It's not so much that I don't wanna make out with you as that we don't have Rammstein.
Don't think they were serious but..

And every time we turn he music off there are people who stay and try to convince us to turn it back on untill the guards come and take them away.

Ofc I've got most of the requests listed above, but these are the ones that stick out for my part. I also don't tend to be mean to people because it's pretty much not in my nature to be mean =/

I've gotten a few gigs through bartenders. Chances are some managers are more inclined to listen to one of their employees than a random dj off the street with a demo...

Yea, I actually got my Wednesday night gig by giving a CD to a random dude who turned out to be the bartender.

The reality is, no matter what your hustle, 99 times out of 100 it doesn't work. You just have to keep pushing in every direction and eventually stuff works out. I've given away probably 500 CDs in 2007, and I've gotten 2 gigs out of it. Seems worth it to me.

Dedicating a song to a girl really helps getting those chicks but once in a while dedicating whole night (announcing by microphone so that everybody can hear it) to somebody can really get things going. :)

oh, i hope i dont get flamed for making racial slurs, and i'll certaintly edit the content... but one night, this guy walked up and wanted to to make a request..

He was an older guy, about 40 or so... so i knew it'd be an odd request

Surprisingly he asked for either some Run DMC or Tone Loc', so i'm thinking
"Alright we can work with that!"

Then...... he says.....
"Ya stop playing this n***** crap!"

................without even blinking i said "Sorry bro i dont play any requests to speak like that"

10 mins later, i explained this to the club owner... 30 seconds later, man is being escorted out. SEE YA!

I had something similar to that happen a couple weeks ago... it was ladies night and this thuggish mexican cholo comes up to and says
"yo put on some Mac Dre"
i said sorry cant do.
he laughs and says "what? you dont have it to you!"
i said nope, i dont play at any places where it would get requested.
he says you should play it here,
i said i told you I----DONT--- HAVE----IT
he starts getting in my face and said "so buy it"
i said NO, i'm not going to waste my money on your request, besides if you wanted me to buy it i'd charge you $20 to play it!

later he starts throwing signs at me and flipping me off... i didnt think that was cool, so i told security. They did nothing. not a damn thing. doing the same place tonight... i think i'll bring a baseball bat to keep under the table to make sure if he comes that he doesnt get within arms reach. they dont have a booth. i am basically raised 11 inches from the floor on a stage, and the side is open so i have a huge blind spot going on.

DJ Michael Basic 11:23 PM - 5 July, 2007
Yesterday I was DJing a pool party during the afternoon. It's at a condo complex so there's like 20 or 30 condos around the pool. Most of the residents are there, they were all invited, and there's some friends of the host as well. Great wether, if a little overcast, but it was about 75 degrees with a breeze blowing in from the beach. They hired a brazillian bbq chef to cater the thing, so all you can eat beef, pork, shrimp, chicken, etc.

Anyway, this lady walks out (she's probably in her late 20s early 30s) and she comes up to me and she's like, can you turn it down? There are babies sleeping. I decided to be cool and just turn it down a little bit and thought that was the end of it. Later on I went over to the host and told him and he was like, well the manager of the complex is here, so unless it's her telling you to turn it down you can tell that other bitch to fuck off so I said fuck it and cranked it back up.

About an hour later, 7pm, this bitch comes out again and starts yelling and getting in my face. I said, here's the deal lady, don't get any closer to me or my equipment, it's 7pm, I'll be gone by 830, and you have no business asking anybody to turn anything down til 10pm. You can go talk to the host of the party, or go talk to the building manager, but I'm not interested in dealing with you.

She walks over and has a conversation with the guy who's throwing the party and walks off in a huff. 2 minutes later she comes out with what's probably her boyfriend (they weren't wearing wedding rings) and starts pointing at me and the host. He puts on his big boy mad dog face and stalks over towards the host of the party and gets in his face and starts yelling. The host starts laughing at him and points him in the direction of the building manager. He keeps yelling and so the host starts walking away (towards me and my setup.) the guy follows him and ends up pushing him, but by the time he pushed him he's about 10 feet away from my setup. The guy then walks over to me and at this point I cut the music and get on the mic and say, "look here dipshit, if you're planning on coming over here you might want to rethink it." We have 50+ witnesses here including your building manager that just saw you put your hands on Brian (the host) unprovoked, and if you touch me or my equipment it'll be giving me the OK to beat your ass. Now, I realize your bitch is making you stand up for her, but now isn't the time and I'm not the guy...go back in the house and yell at her for almost getting your nose broke. And by the way, if you wanna call the cops about the noise, make sure to tell them about you pushing Brian, cause if you don't and they actually show up, these 50 people will.

I then held the microphone out to him so he could respond, and on the verge of tears he yells FUCK YOU and walks back into the house...I've never seen anybody's face so red. it was fucking classic!

Last night I lost it a little finished with a blend of the dirtstyles shampoo electro side and 'Rabbit' by Chas & Dave (google it, it's gold) and pointed at one particularly gobby bird and shouted along with the chorus. Gotta give up the cigarettes.... 8-[

The thing is alot of Djs would prolly bow down because she was hot (If she was hot). There ain't no way no one I don't know and don't have a contract with is playing on my stuff.

Got the girl that was vacinated with a Turntable needle last night...
"Can you like play like the ESPN Jock Jam, Cus like I dance to it, and like (Insert hair twirling) I wanna like dance to it, and OMG you like use like records and a computer, like that is soo cool, If I gave you some like blank CDs could you like copy me some stuff, so I could like dance to it, and so do you have the ESPN Jock Jam, cus I like really like wanna dance to it (Insert more hair twirling) I've had like 5 drinks, How old are you? I'm like 19, How long have you been DJing for? Like is there a school, Cus like I'm a dancer, and I reckon I could do it, so like where did you learn, or like it that what the computer does, I have a computer I have MSN...."

I swear she didn't even stop for breath. One of my DJ Friends was in the booth, Im pretending to listen to Punky Bruster, mix, and carry on, He steps over to do me a favour and tell Ms Bruster where to go, I just turn to her and say "Were you vacinated with a grammarphone needle?" She stops in her tracks mid sentence and then takes the usual path, Abusing the living daylights outta me for being arrogant blah blah. (I could hear her over the monitor, and I have my monitor LOUD). My DJ Friend Invites her up into the booth (A common way for both of us to deal with wannabe DJs) I hand her the headphones and tell her "I'll be back in 20, your on" She stares blankly at us I drag the fader down and My friend Deckfather Intros her "Ladies and gentlemen, Please welcome DJ Grammarphone Needle, Be gentle it's her first gig, if this fails shes working on the phrase DO YOU WANT FRIES WITH THAT"

I will tell ya this, She exits almost as fast as she talks.

I got burnt on a Friday night set, lent my shure needles to a guy who didn't bring his. When I came on the decks behind him (apart from setting up my serato) my time was cut short big time, the next DJ came to relieve me (cut my tracks real short), learn my lesson helping unorganized DJs.

TO ALL DJS, IF YOU DON'T BRING YOUR OWN SH*T LIKE SLIPMATS, NEEDLES ETC, YOUR SH*T OUT OF LUCK WITH ME OR REST OF THE RESPONSIBLE DJS, NOT GETTING MINE, :-D
DJ K-otik 5:43 AM - 16 July, 2007
I bring my own headphones and cartridges, but I've never brought my own slipmats - is that a standard thing? In the venues I've played, the DJ setup already has slipmats for the decks. Is it really faux pas to not bring your own mats?

I always bring everything I need to make sure I can follow whoever or spin the whole night in case the other DJ doesn't show up. Cartridges, slipmats, Serato control vinyl & CDs, Serato SL1, RCA cables, headphones and backup in-ear monitors, GrooveGlide, extra needles, regular vinyl in a wide BPM range to switch DJ's, flashlight, wireless mic, variety of cables and adaptors, Serato power supply, Mac power supply, mixing board, and a Vornado fan. You don't know how many times this has saved my ass in the last 20 years.
SloDeck 8:40 AM - 16 July, 2007
Ive always rocked my own mats Carts and cans as a minimum.

Most venues have them poo technics OEM mats round here. And not many DJs locally spin vinyl, most are on the CDJ buzz, unless thy are EDM DJs, and maybe the standard mats cut it for them cus they dont scratch.

From Saturday:
The Bar Manager during a 20min EDM set: You've been playing the same song for the last half hour. what do I pay you for?
Me: The 200 guys buying drinks for the 300 girls that come here every week seems to be a pretty good reason to pay me.

My new favorite assclown. The guys that come up to the booth and and just start singing the chorus to you then walk away like thats the universal sign for "Play this next" Then get shitty when it don't happen and come back up going "I asked you to play..." UM.. no you didn't you came up here and sung the chorus for it really badly, I thought you confused me with Simon Cowell.

Follow Up to Fridays Punky Bruster incident, after she left my club all red in the face she rocked up to another bar where a friend was spinning and proceeded to chew his ear off about "The DJ at Backstage being an asshole" & how she was "Never going there again" and she was going to tell "All her hot friends" not to go there and then no one would go. Funny she was there on Sat night, and keeped well clear of the booth this time.

I get this ALL the time. "Im never coming here again!"... "you think i give a shit? when you start signing my checks, ill start taking requests"

sometimes that shit goes on and on. "you're here to play what we want"... "thats not what the guy paying me says"... if its busy enough, i just shine my flash light at a security guard who knows to run over, and have them escorted out. if its not busy enough, i stay pretty tame on the replies though, being that i have to see them all night.

Ridiculous comment coming from the owners!

Scenario: I've DJ'd at this club plenty of times and never a problem. All of the sudden, last night the GM is fired and the Managers quit, so the head owners come in from out of town to run the club (Talk about 4'11" 50yr old geek-squad lookin dudes)

Song: Justin Timberlake/ Like I Love U

Owner: You need to start playing some more Top 40 stuff... I mean what is this? Ive never even heard this song your playing...

Me: This is atleast Top 40 maybe even Top 1

Owner: On what chart?

Me: ?..?...? Uh Billboard...

Owner: Well Im losing customers... we need to switch it up!

After them talking to me numerous times and even pulling me out of a booth for a pep talk, i decided, that is my last night there. never again!

This happened a couple of weeks ago. I had totally forgot about it. I did a Retirement Party for this lady. Near the end a guy comes up to me with a request. Older guy maybe mid 40's. He was cool and everything.

Guy: What's Up man?
Me: What's Up?
Guy: Do you have any Prince?
Me: Yeah, I have plenty of Prince.
Guy: Oh, ok. You know, that's my cousin

I hope the confused & you are full of shiznit look didn't show too much on my face. Dude was cool and not disrespectful in any way. He went on telling me he was from New Orleans blah, blah, blah. I just rolled with it.

Me: Really? What song do you want to hear?
Guy: Naw Meen

It was very hard to hold back laughing in dude's face. I was expecting him to request When Doves Cry, Purple Rain or something. Baby Boy Da Prince never crossed my mind.

I was doing a wedding recently, and there was this incredibly hot girl attending the wedding. She was sitting at the table directly in front of my setup. I think she was the date of a guy who KNEW the married couple... i dont think she knew them at all.

Well anyway, she kept eye fucking me from the table, and she was by far the hottest girl there. So i'm like, alright, thats cool. (Keep in mind, i have a gf who practically has a BAT SIGNAL everytime a girl comes within 10 ft of me.)

Well later in the night when i open up the dance floor, she's pretty drunk, and is booty-shaking on her date. I'm talkin, "I'm at the club" booty shaking.

It was definetly hot... So since the bride wanted mostly hip hop, I decided to keep that booty shaking by going from "baby got back" to "Back that azz up" haha. It paid off. She was doing splits, spilling her drink everywhere... Oh man, it was great. All of the poor old people are like "wtf!"

So then we move onto the Bouquet toss, and we make eye contact. Well, it was more like, she looked "through" me. I'm like (oh boy, here we go...)
She walks behind my table

Her = "
Me = '

"HI!"
'whats up..'
"Can i make a request"
'sure what do you wanna hear'
"I want something i can shake my a$$ to"
'well we're about do the bouquet toss so....'
"..I wanna shake my ass!!!!!!! *real loud* "
'well its not very appropriate right now, let me get through this event'
"Can I dj?"
*touches my cdx plater, causing the horrid 'errrraaa' record sounds lol*
*me, quickly grabs her arm*
'ah ah ah, don't touch that' (as i turn the platter motor off)
"I wanna DJ, can I help?"
'ok ok.. tell you what. i'm gonna announce the bouquet toss, when i point to you, hit that big button that says STUTTER'
"This one?" *hits it*
*i hit cue button* 'yes, that one.....'
"But you just hit this one"
*she hits cue button*
'ugh, just hit the stutter one, when i point to you'
"ok!!!"
'Alright all the single ladies report to the dance floor, thats all the single ladies!' *point to her, she hits button flawlessly*
'Good job, see that wasnt too....'
*she hits stutter about 4 more times*
'Ok no more, no more'
"I wanna shake my ass!"
'ok fine, what do u wanna hear'
"Saltshaker!"
'thats not appropriate for a wedding, how bout Jump On It?'
"OK! Then will you come out and dance"
'No i cant do that'
"Cmon you dont want me to shake my ass on you?"
'Oh believe me I do, but I have to be professional ok'
(so then i get an idea, as the photographer is my promoter, and good friend)
'See the guy with the camera? he's my boss, you can go dance with him! Cuz i'll get fired If i dance'
"OK!"
*play Jump On It, she runs out to him, he literally runs... whispers to him, she runs back to me, grabs my arm*
"CMON he said you could come dance"
*i grab my table*
'I really cant im sorry'
*she gets reeeaaaaallly close... too close*
"But i wanna shake my ass on you!"
'I know but I.....'
(whispers in my ear) "you'd like that, wouldnt you" (licks my ear)
*i get hard on*
FINALLY the girls date comes and gets her... jesus!

Oh.. and I have a pic of her too... Its not great, but the photographer and I did a wedding the following weekend, and he brought me a copy of her doing the split on the dance floor lol. I'll post it tonight.

oh actually. another dj friend of mine from the hermosa area, dj dirt introduced me to the skankiest girls ive ever met. one of them after 20 seconds of meeting me was all about me feeling her boobs. i dont know what came over me, but strangely enough, my first instinct was to break out, so i said no, but she was persistent as hell. this went on for about 2 minutes with me mixing inbetween and her friend was all about me squeezing her boobs. it was basically everyone ganging up on me to squeeze her boobs. i broke down and squeezed. why doesnt this ever happen to me at rite aid or in the drive through at in-n-out... i think my headphones might be laced with pheromones.

Monday nights are still pretty slow at this spot im at.. (last nite was my 3rd monday) and after the Baseball game goes off... the afterwork crowd takes off... I can get a few to stay but not alot of them. Anyhow, thre girls come in... the classic 2 hot ones and one frumpy one. They are dancing and everything and when I go old school they get pissed (lets me know where their heads are at) and whip out the sidekicks and start thumbing away. I throw on a new school jam and the sidekicks go away and back to dancing... so I start messing with them and cut in the first note of "This is why I'm hot" and take it away just as fast... i can see they are getting pissed..

long story short one of the hot ones comes up and tells me that one of her friends wants my number and dared her to come up and ask for it... This is soooo high school. Monday nights no one checks ID so I dont know whats up with these chicks.. not to mention that one of the hot ones (now out of the equation since she was doing the talking) is not telling me which of the two that are left is the one that wants the number.

HER: So we have a bet, she dared me to ask for your number and if I do it, she'll buy me a drink.

ME: and why did you feel that you needed to tell me all the background info? You could have just stepped to me like an adult and asked for it, you might have even gotten it.

HER: I wanted you to know it was a bet... and that it wasnt for me....

ME: I have a bet too, I bet the bartender over there that one of you three would be up here talking to me befor the night was over..

HER: well I helped you with your bet... so help me with mine...

ME: theres more...

HER: ???

ME: the second half was that one of you would wake up staring at the ceiling in my livingroom tomorrow morning...WAIT!! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?? do we have a deal or what???

djcrono_ 2:58 PM - 15 August, 2007
I hope this isn't too dirty for the forum but this happened to me back when I first started DJ'ing for a classic rock bar. I was 19 at the time.

To set the scene, my DJ booth at this bar was extremely small. Only enough room for one person. The night was progressing normally until an older woman approximatly in her 40's came up completely drunk. She joined me in the booth, blocking the only exit, making things extremely snug and seemed quite interested in.....um....well something. The following are bits of the conversation from the 3 enounters throughout the night:

Encounter #1

Started out with her talking about how much fun she's having and about her leaving her husband and other fun stuff. The conversation eventually led to tattoos and she decided to show me her newest one.

Woman: Do you want to see my tattoo?

Me: Ummmm...sure I guess...

She turned around and pulled down her pants to reveal a red tattoo of Canada on her right cheek, it was probably one of the worst tattoos I have ever seen. I now knew that this woman was extremely odd and it made me very very uncomfortable.

Encounter #2

She came back later that night and start talking to me again. And the conversation led to:

Woman: I did the greatest thing ever today!

Me: Ok...

Woman: I peirced my nipples.

Me: Oh, that's nice.

Woman: Do you want to see?

Me: No, that's ok. I'm sure they look nice *getting very very uncomfortable again*

Woman: C'mon have a look!

She then ducked down a bit and pulled down her shirt showing me one of her nipples. I was totally squirming now and couldn't leave cuz she was once again blocking the exit.

She left once again and the bar manager noticed me feeling uncomfortable and asked what was wrong. I told her about the woman and she had a big laugh about it but said that if the woman continued to bother me to let her know and they would have her kicked out.

Encounter #3

By far the most uncomfortable, random encounter. The woman comes up to me sucking on a peice of lemon. Stares at me for a few moments and starts making "mmmph'ing" noises. I looked back completely confused...

Woman: Do you know what that sounds like?

Me: No...

Woman: That's how I would sound with you c*** in my mouth!

Me: Oh my....uh....er...eh....heh....ummmmmmmm

She bugged me for a little bit longer but then took off back to the bar for another drink. The manager came back and asked me what just happened. I told her and she had the woman kicked out right away. The bar staff bugged me about this for the next few months though.

Out of 6 years of DJ'ing that was probably the most ridiculous, uncomfortable encounter I've ever had.

Her: Can you play (Insert pop song at particular time) by (Insert pop song at particular time).

Me: I'll play your song if you lick the bottom of my shoe.

Her (looking puzzled): OK, do you have a foot fetish or something.

Me: No, I just need to check that you really have no taste in music.

Setting : Calm Thursday Night at around 11pm before things get packed.

Calm little white girl smiling at me stands in front of the tables until I'm done cue-ing the next song.

Girl : "Can you please play Ayo Technology for me?"
Me : "I'm definitely playing it, but it's a little early and too fast for now. Gimme a little time, and I'll play it before the end of the night, cool?"

Girl makes a weird face and turns her head sideways

Girl : (now with glowing red eyes and yelling) "PLAY IT NOW M_*$F&$CKER OR I'LL SLIT YOUR THROAT"
Me ; *cut the music* on the mic "UH...SECURITY"

One Giant Security Guard picks up the girl with one hand and walks her out of the club...

sad thing is, she didn't even seem that drunk.

girl: "can you play tiesto"
me: (thinking i heard wrong) "huh?"
girl: "tiesto"
me: (still thinking there was a misunderstanding) "write it out"
girl: (writes out t-i-e-s-t-o)
me: "you joking?"


40 minutes later
guy: "yo, can you play some tiesto"
me: "no, and go tell her she's done with requests for the night"

30 minutes later
same girl: "dude, you're wearing that tee shirt, you gotta play some tiesto"
me: "ive been really nice, and you're starting to affect me doing my job, go away"
same girl: "dude, common"
me: "SECURITY!" (ducks behind booth)

for the record, i was wearing a shirt that says 'as seen on al jazeera'


worst request ever, so bad that it actually prompted me to take a picture with the guy. mostly because i felt bad for laughing in his face.
haddaway - what is love


girl: do you have the remix to 'the way i are'?
me: i have at least 10 remixes of that song, which one?
girl: the one that goes 'hmmm hmm da da da da.... (mumbles a little)..... hmmh mmm da daa the way i are"
me: ill just play the original one for you, is that ok?
girl: how do you not have it? its on the radio


girl: what britney spears songs do you have?
me: lots, but im not going to play any

So me and my boy DJ NVS were spinning at this newer club a few yrs ago, and when we get there to set up the douche bag manager looks at me and says,

Manager: Yea we have a dress code here, I don't know if you knew that
Me: Dude I'm the DJ all I ever wear is T shirts (the booth is upstairs by the way)
Manager: Well this is an upscale place, and my patrons are use to seeing people dressed up
Me: Will me being in a T Shirt and jeans really stop these people from dancing and having a good time?
Manager: Well I just saying you could have worn a nice buttoned up shirt.

So after hearing enough of this dude's shit and realizing that we needed another RCA cable we decided to go to Walmart, and I then spent the best 10 dollars I ever could and returned back to the club like this.
www2.dallasdancemusic.com
I walked back into the club and walked up to the manager, and asked him if this was good enough. Knowing how much of a dick face he was he just kinda looked around and said, "man nice shirt."

Another time we are DJing at this exclusive type place and this chick ask us for some Big Pun, and after 20 min while Don't wanna be a player is playing she tells us that we suck for not playing Big Pun. 30 min after that she returns to tell us how much she loves us. This place was a weird place to play at. The coked out manager would constantly tell us to play house music while we were playing hip hop, and then tell us to play hip hop when we switched over to hip hop.

You are my new hero!!!!

Here's one,
Me and my boy fishr pryce are doing a 4 table set at an underground hip hop show, we went on after a 1 hour freestyle session with the wackest rappers ever!!!.... anyway.... so we start our set... 10 minutes into it, the host mc for the night come up to me and says "yo is this a freestyle session now, are we gonna get to rhyme over some instrumentals?" I responded with "no, we are gonna do what we were booked to do, you just rapped for 1 hour"

me- "you mean the mixing or the music?"

owner- "the music, i had some regulars complain that it wasnt like a normal friday"

me- "i was doing what you wanted me to, change the music"

owner - "well i dont know what to tell you"

I've just been booked on a tour to support a record label of rappers.
As part of the booking for some of the venues, I've been assigned an hour or so for a set before/after the live set.
The record label I'm touring with is an underground Hip Hop label but several of the bars want me to play RnB??? ... not cool shit either... radio bullshit.
Apparently, some of the venues put a bouncer on either side of last years tour DJ, and fed him CDs all night.
I'm sure this tour will provide me with a bunch of dumbass quotes for this thread.

i rotate fridays in this small club for like 250 people... goes tribal/electro pretty much all night... for some reason the promotions girls have been messing up somehow that i get a really strange crowd that goes from 20 to 40 (if i had 5 years tolerance this would feel like a weeding without the grannies)...

... so i played "let me think about it", followed by "why", followed by "creeps"...

40-year-old-lady: can i hear some lionel richie ?
me: O_O sure ! i guess...

so i moved from creeps to "do it again" since i know i have 3 loops on the sd-card so i get good beats... killed the bass on "dancing on the ceiling" and kinda played the chorus a couple times...

everybody was looking at me with the obvious face: "you're an idiot.. do you really think that's cool?"

i thought it was...! like.. seriously cool! beatmatched and stuff!

40-y-o lady calls me again:

40-year-old-lady: that was horrible! (SLAP!)

i got loads of slaps right after kisses for refusing to play what i was asked... i just never had a slap because i played what i was asked...

you just can't please them all...

Girl - That one there (points to the butters one of the bunch)

Girl - She really likes you though.
Me - Er cheers. But She's not my type.

Girl walks off to her mate then comes back 10 mins later

Girl - Hi Me again
Me - Alright
Girl - My friend really likes you
Me - You said. She's not my type.
Girl - What is your type?
Me - (laughs) I don't know. Not her.
Girl - We had an argument and she said if I was her friend I'd hook her up. So here I am.
Me - You what (This is in between mixing records and like WTF)
Girl - So will you help me?
Me - Help with what?
Girl - WIll you go out with my mate.
Me - Nah love not tonight

At this point I'm starting to get a little annoyed. I'm usually calm because A/ I'm sober and B/ Almost everyone else in the dance is charged. But this girl as nice as she is starting to push me a little. But anyway I keep doing my thing.

Girl - (starts flapping her arms about now in full on sulk mode) What's the matter? Don't you like white girls or something?!?! You mixed race boys think. you so fucking hot!!!!
Me - (Shocked)
My Mate - (pisses himself laughing)
Girl - I'm telling her what an arsehole you are.... Wanker!!
Me - (Shocked)

Fat chicks need love too!^^

Last weekend I did a pool party on Laurel Canyon.
And a broad comes up and shows me her flash drive wanting me to play songs off it.(They're getting hip to this shit)
I said "I don't know where that drive has been. I can't risk getting a virus from you, we just met."

I was dj'in a middle school dance earlier this year. Since the kids are in there early teens and all they know is what's on the radio, I was playing all the current Top 40 stuff. Well i had this one kids ask if I can play something off The Bad Boys 2 Soundtrack.
DJ-A 7:48 PM - 27 September, 2007
this isnt a "request" but it is a dumb question i'm sure all of you have heard...

"wow i love your music, where do you get it all?"

@ Kool DJ Sheak One - Lol Some of them do get the love. I won't lie.

I used to dj for a few fairly known UK rappers not so much now but a few years ago I did.

Anyway I'm playing at this reggae dance one New Years Eve and this old woman comes upto me and asks.

Woman - Have you got any Yogi?
Me - (confused tries to think of some old reggae singer called Yogi my mind drawing a blank) I don't think so.
Woman - You must have heard of him.
Me - I'll be honest the only Yogi I know is this rapper from the midlands.
Woman - That's him
Me - (now I'm really confused) What do you know about Yogi?
Woman - Have you got any of his stuff?
Me - Yeah I got his last album and some new thing with him and Rukus.
Woman - Yeah that's the one you going to play it?
Me - I didn't bring it tonight.
Woman - Well make sure you play some of his stuff next week he's my son.
Me - (confused we live miles away from the midlands)

I'm a fan of his stuff but it was proper random.

I had a flash drive incident that happened at a private party gig I DJed few months ago.

DUDE: I like alot of songs you are playing.
ME: Thanks.
DUDE: Are they MP3s coming from your laptop?
ME: Yeah, most are.
DUDE: Cool, can I copy your songs?
ME: NO.
DUDE: Why not? It's easy, I know how to use the Macbook too.
(I was thinking like ok, that's nice... but the hell you are touching my Macbook!)
ME: Sorry, but it's not that...
DUDE: Hey don't worry, I have my new 2GB flash drive with me. It should be enough to copy all of your songs. Let me stick it in.
(By this time I have mixed emotions like laughing, shocked, is this for real?, a little ticked)
ME: Listen, I said NO. You cannot copy the songs off my hard drive.
Dude: (getting frustrated) Why not? Like I said, I am a computer guy and know how to copy songs. (I rolled up my eyes, oh pleeze!)
ME: (trying to figure out a valid excuse) It's because when I get songs from music pools and subscription companies, I agreed on the contract not to distribute or sell songs to the public.
DUDE: Really? Oh, sorry I didn't know that. Didn't mean to bother ya with my request.
(He walks away kinda bummed, I was laughing my head off in disbelief)

(with a packed dancefloor and everyone going crazy)

Dumb drunk girl- "can you play something i can dance too?"

Me- well i am playing something you can dance to, the other 300 people are dancing"

Dumb drunk girl- "well i hate this kind of music and i cant dance to it"(usually while playing some funky disco house tracks)"Can you play some Hiphop"

Me- well, Im sorry, but im not killing the vibe because you dont like this song, ill play some hip hop in a little bit" "Go dance like you dance to hip hop, just a little faster"

Dumb drunk girl - "If you play souja boy everyone will dance and go NUTS! you should really play it"

me- "honey, everyone is already dancing and going nuts, go away. I dont play souja boy, i hate that song and i dont even have it"

dumb drunk girl- "OMG, IDK. WTF I cant believe you dont have it,can i look through your computer and see what you have?"(leans in to look at computer)

Me- "security get this chick outta here.!!"

this only happens once in a blue moon, but i hate dumb drunk chicks, i always feel like they're going to spill something. -

Her - Can you play that Soulja Boy?

Her - Why not?
Me - Because it sucks!
Her - OK, can you play something that's hype then?
Me - (Shocked) Look at the dance floor! I'll TRY! (LOL)

Towards the end of the night...I'm playing 2Pac - Changes. A guy comes up...

Him - Ayo, play that Soulja Boy.
Me - I don't think so...
Him - Why not?
Me - Because it sucks!
Him - Ok, how about Ay Bay Bay?

ill have the images posted for this one tonight or maybe tomorrow, i kept all the notes knowing dam well they would end up here

a girl waves at me as if im her butler to come towards her, but she does it with this look on her face as if im a fucking idiot for not running up to her on one knee with a leather request book and a quill for her to write what she wants to hear. so i look around and grab a pad of paper and write "please" on it with quotes and all. she looks at me again like i just said some preposterous shit. and starts getting mad at me. she starts waving again. im keeping my cool here, and i just pass her the pad again, this time with the words 'be nice' and a happy face on it. she tries to go off on me with the 'do you know who i am' lines. after she's done, im so ready to give it to her.

me: listen bitch, im not here for your personal pleasure. im just another fucking human, and theres no reason for you to talk like that to anyone. now, you can go take your request and go fuck yourself for all i care. if you want to come back and be nice, im always down to make new friends, but you need to seriously check yourself.

so the owner comes up to me and says, what happened, this girl is going ape shit on her. i tell him what happened, and he's totally on my side. anyways, i get a note thrown at my head saying approximately:

you shouldnt fuck with people who know your owner and carl cox.

i took a piece of paper and wrote on it

fuck you and carl cox

crumpled it up and threw it at her, but not before i had a security guard standing by my side

I would have told her, that i appreciate the fact that she would associate me with Carl Cox, but you have no pull here. so if you can be nice and make a request like a normal human, cool. but if not. there are a LOT of other clubs you can go too.

Lol women always do that shit. Pretend because they know someone famous they should get a bly.

One girl I was seeing used to try stuff like that. One time security caught her trying to sneak a big bottle of Vodka into this dance I was playing. Apparently when they told her no she coudln't bring it she was like it's alright I'm fucking the DJ.

I told security to throw her out. Lol.

She was not impressed. Lol.

A couple weeks back we had a private party at my spot on a saturday. I was requested to be the DJ by the girl whose birthday it was. So I figured she knew my format and whatnot since she requested me by name.

I roll up to the club, and the owner comes runnin up to me and is like, "play some R&B quick the party showed up early and all I had was EDM to play before you got here."

Let me preface the rest of this by telling you that the party ends up being totally a black crowd half of which is over 40. I'm like WTF? Cuz the birthday girl is like 22. She didn't explain that the party would have so many old folks. I'm talking grandmas and stuff.

So I hit off the R&B (club type stuff, ya know grown and sexy) Then the requests come out of the woodwork.

Guest: Do you got any Ojay's?
me: no, sorry.

Guest: Do you got any smokey robinson?
me: no, sorry.

Guest: Do you got any Temptations?
me: no sorry.

Birthday girl: Don't you have any old school steppin music?
me: Like what? I already played all my Jaheim, R. Kelly, Donnell Jones,
and everything else I think you can hustle to.
Birthday girl: You don't got no old school stevie wonder or pointer sisters or people's choice?
me: whoa whoa whoa, no I don't have any of that with me. Its not a wedding, its a club. I play hip hop and top 40. What do you want me to do here?
Birthday girl: I don't know, just play all the steppin songs again!
me: AGAIN?! That's dumb.
Birthday girl: Its ok, they are old. They just want to hustle. Don't you know black people like to hustle?
me: fine, whatever.

a little later...

young guest: Yo, can play souljah boy?
me: word? for real? what about all these old people?
young guest: f*ck em. they too old to be out this late anyway.
me: (thinking to myself that I hate that song)...Yeah, you got it, its next!
SSL: YOUUUUUU!!!!~~~...

The club owner hated the music but he liked getting paid. I told him next time he books a private party to really know what he was getting into.

SO WHY DID YOU BOOK AN UNDERGROUND RAP LABEL TO PERFORM AT YOUR VENUE?

first of all. why don't you have that type of music with you??? no disrespect but we are running digital formats here not crates of records so there is no reason you shouldn't have TONs of music with you. It's not like the computer is going to run any slower. or it's going to be harder to find the club bangers you usually play.

second of all. they are the ones that are paying your paycheck that night... why would you tell her that's dumb to play the songs THEY want to hear? who cares if you already played it. it's THEIR party not yours

fuck i play those kinds of tunes to younger crowds all the time and it goes off.

Why in the hell wouldn't you have them - especially when you're running serato?
DJ Young Herrera 1:14 AM - 19 October, 2007
I don't have them becuase I don't actually have them. I don't listen to the ojays or step music and i don't play that kind of music.

I said I didn't havethat stuff with me as an excuse. I play house/edm/top 40/club music.

If she wanted that music she should have said so when she was making arrangements with the owner of the club.

She did not.

LOL. earlier this summer actually - they rented out the Bar on a Sunday evening and had a retirement party. People were late 50 to 70's. It was fucking with me at first because the fuckers didn't really dance, just sat around and reminisced about old times but if I dropped a song that they liked I heard "They U Go DJ - HEY - THAT's MY SONG!" I tried mixing some stuff early - club style- but after a while I said why bother and changed tactics....

It put me to a test and began to search for some songs that would get that reaction again. Then mainly out of boredom, I began to search and program sets of similar type and "feel" music and played them Microwave style, 2 or 4 songs then flip the mood. Although it didn't seem to matter to them much, to me it was actually harder than beat mixing - trying to set a mood with just playing songs back to back. House Heads will understand what I mean. I didn't get ANY requests and at the end of the night, I got a "you threw down DJ - good job" so I guess I was doing something right.

I actually learned a few things that night although nobody else knew it (or cared).
DJ Young Herrera 2:43 PM - 19 October, 2007
Payne-san,

I totally know that feeling. I was searching for songs more than mixing.
You know, I'd have been more forgiving if it was a sunday. But it was a Friday, and the girl was having the party at the club. She didn't rent out the whole thing...

If I had been requested to have the type of music they were looking for, it would've been no problem. I woulda gladly accomodated. But they didn't.

me: what? you want me to take my shirt off?? why dont you do it??

It's gigs like that, where your crates get a workout, you have to think on your feet that you walk away from realizing it's not about scratching, mixing, blending and looping that make you good, it's the ability to be versatile and quick to dig up old, even lost classics that do put a smile on peoples face, even if they're not dancing.

I don't have them becuase I don't actually have them. I don't listen to the ojays or step music and i don't play that kind of music.

I said I didn't havethat stuff with me as an excuse. I play house/edm/top 40/club music.

If she wanted that music she should have said so when she was making arrangements with the owner of the club.

She did not.

Give me a fucking break. I dj in clubs. When was the last time you threw a party for a bunch of geriatrics at a club?


Well i recommend listening to and getting your hands on some of that stuff - it's great and you'd be surprised at how many people will actually like it - and you're going to find some of your favorite "club" tracks are sampling from these old funk standards.

I understand how you feel nik39. I too, get personally insulted when someone blabs out some assanine atrosities towards hip hop.
Because I was raised in the culture that emodies every aspect; Grafitti,mcing, djing,beatboxing and all music that comes with it, not just rap.
However, you must realize, that they are part of the herd. They get fed this shit by the radio stations, who label it "hip hop".
When it's not that at all. It's just pop music.

Rap is something you do, Hip Hop is something you live.

I hate the 5 girls who think that they know what people want at every party... I hear it all the time:

the whole place is out on the floor groovin and a small group of girls, usually 2 - 5 will walk by the DJ booth and yell out "I can't dance to this shit"

Worked at a club downtown in the village (nyc) last night and had a guy that decided he wanted to play "impress the dj" by requesting 4 different obscure flavor-of-the-minute bands. He's probably wacking off to John Cusack in 'High Fidelity' right now.

As the patrons collectively gasp and say "oooooooooooooo" I close out my rant by saying "I'm J. Soul, bitch!" and press play on George Strait. LOL

That statement not only got me mad respect at that club, but was a running joke and people I still talk to from that club still talk about it to this day. As for the hicks...they left not too long after I made that comment.

This friday past, I was at my normal gig and was midway thru an oldschool reggae set. Its not unsusual after all the wall space is taken up with people grinding for some to graduate to the front of the booth since its the only wall left. Some chick with long-ass 90's Patra braids whips her head back and one of the braids knocked the needle clear off the record. Luckily it only took me a half-second to switch over since I was about to drop the next song. I dont know how long her "hair" was, but the floor of the booth is 2 feet higher than the dance floor and there a 18 inch plexi fence around the top...

I played at a strip club on Saturday... had a random guy with a drink in each hand weave his way up the steps onto the main stage... only to ask me where the toilet is.
I started to grab his arm and politely tell him 'dude, they're at the other end of the club, you gotta get off the stage' but I totally ruined his buzz. He starts being the super apologetic drunk guy... I'm like "it's all good man, you just gotta get off the stage. Like, now."
Enter stripper with attitude. Proceeds to cuss the dude out and drag him away like she was a fuckin 7ft bouncer.
Sexy? Nah, not really... mind you it's only my second time in a strip club. The fact that you're grinding on me AS YOUR JOB doesn't really do it for me.

Last night at my Thurday spot was dead... At about midnight, there were only 10 people left, and they were regulars...so I went to the games.

**(NOTE---The regulars (producers, exDJs {is there really such a thing?}, musicians) come to hear whats being played and to make small talk amongst themselves.)

So I start playing originals and they start yelling out who sampled it, and even the year..


-- I play "Today" (15 seconds in) someone yells out Pete Rock, 1991 (easy)

-- I play "Just Kissed My Baby" (expecting to hear Public Enemy 198x) and I hear "Never Seen Before" EPMD 1996... Which I had to verify later..

I started to throw out some easy ones to get more people to play along; "Honey Cone, Sylvia Striplin, Wendy Renaye"

in about 30 minutes the whole bar was sitting at in front of the booth playing along. So I had to up the stakes and start giving out prizes... Everything from drink tickets to CD singles (that some of these same people gave me only weeks ago,) to my business cards with "15% off 1 gig" written on the back...

it capped off at about 30 people and before you knew it... it was time to leave.

I"ve been collecting, recording from Vinyl, and Ripping from CD forever... I want to compile a list of my favorites, but there are tons of them out there on the web.

Some of the best Sample medleys out there are:

"The Lesson" By ?QuestLove (done live on BBC1) <- Serato User

"Made in Brooklyn" By DJ Riz <-Serato User

"Breaktionary" By DJ Q-Bert <- Cant legally say hes a Serato User due to contractual obligations..

Find these and you will get a good idea of what I was talking about and they are great for reference too..

Tonight...

i took a picture of a chick and her friend... and after i did they told me i had to pay them... i said no thanks, and hit delete in front of them (they were flirting but i wasnt in the mood)

15 minutes later they came up to me and asked for some Snoop Dogg...

i replied, well... i'm working, so that would cost you... life's a bitch huh...

her jaw dropped she game me a thumbs down and said that wasnt nice... i smiled and said yeah i know...

i was taking a quick break she stopped me and we talked for about 10 minutes (she is hott, from canada so i guess some hott chicks to come from canada)... i figured i'd try to find her on myspace (because she is hott) but now i'm bummed because i can't find her. didnt want to ask for her # there cause sense i pissed her off, i didnt want her to take advantage of the situation and throw it back in my face...

This one tops it all for me!

Last night @ 1am we had 5 guys and 5 girls on stage who were the finalists for the Halloween costume contest and about 900 people standing on the dance floor and the mezannine cheering for them. The loud-ass sound system has an MC talking on the mic, the music is very low and I'm just playing instrumentals in the background. And then it happens....

Twice, two separate girls came up and ask me if we're gonna have a Halloween costume contest tonight! Wow...

I got three for yawl and there all from the same night. I dont DJ much but Ive been lucky these past two weeks. Anwayz:

1. Im doing a banging ass set, lots of danceable tracks around the 100bpm mark. Im playing Tambourine after mixing it with Headsprung. These 2 girls start walking towards my set up. Im like "Oh no, herre it goes". Then one of the chicks goes "Hey can you play song that have "MEANING". Im like huh? She then goes on to say that the tracks I'm playing are good, but the Lyrics dont match the beats. She wanted me to play something that has Meaning. By this time I'm confuzed and ask her okay tell me songs that have meanings...she proceeds to say "Crank That" and the Cha Cha Slide. I couldnt believe at what her requests werre. It was quite sad. After this incident, my motivation to mix was destroyed and I ended up playing the Damn tracks.

2. After getting over my loss of pride(cuz I listened to these chicks), I go into a 120bpm set in which I played Shake, Ay Chico, and Culo and Go Girl....not in order but yea. Then this chick comes up to me and asks me why I haven played any Pitbull. Im like Uhm...Ive played a grip. She then says she doesnt remember. I say Ill play some later (ended up playing Toma later on).

3. Got tired of hip hop and house so I went into some Reggaeton for the party girl. I played Pala Cama Voy, Pam Pam and Machucando. Then this cholo dude came upto me and asked me why I havent played Reggaeton. Just pathetic.

In all, im used to these stupid comments but after reading these boards Im figuring out how senseless some people are. Its almost disrespectul or degrading. I can homestly say last night was my worst experiences with these ridiculous comments/requests.

Maybe she was just another blonde...

We often have to remind people (oddly enough) that there is a world outside of that which is theirs. Some people have asked for a song waaay to the left of what I was playing at moment... and want me to just throw it on and, "go back to what I was doing" after their song is over - - just because they want to go home now.

I tell them, "I have to play for the masses, get 100 more people with narrow minded views like you all up here asking for the same stuff and I'll change it...."

they usually give me a look and then I tell then... "Go! You have alot of work to do..."

this sounds like my gig weekly although without the reggaeton...you couldn't pay me to play it

djtripp 7:45 PM - 31 October, 2007
I DJ an 80's night and a woman comes in every week with a 30 SONG List!

Stuff like:

MJ- Billie Jean, Wanna Be Startin Somethin
Madonna - Holiday, Into The Groove
Prince - Kiss, When Doves Cry
Soft Cell - Tainted Love
Cyndi Lauper - Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
etc etc...

Ok, I play the songs every week. Without fail. But I've been playing them for 10 years. And after about the 6th time I finally told her,

"Hey, I appreciate your requests, but I play these songs already. And I have to say, it's pretty rude to bring a list of songs to a DJ. If you have a specific song you really want to hear, that's awesome, but if you're looking to hear your set of music that you gave me I really think you should start DJing yourself."

Well, she got all pissed and starting telling me how she was 39 and loved coming to 80's night because it was her favorite but she'll never come in again because i'm an asshole.

So I tried to smooth it out by saying,

"Look at it from my point of view, if I walked into your house while you were having a party, but gave you a 30 song playlist of music that I really wanted to hear every time you had that party, how would you feel?"

"I would play it"

"Every time?"

"Exactly, but you would start to feel like you weren't being a good host by not playing them, and then you'd feel like I was really pushy about those songs every time and not want me to come over any more, right?

She walked away.

Two days later my boss at the club gets an e-mail saying that i'm the best DJ in Santa Cruz and that she apologizes for putting me in an awkward position.

House has always been a style... BPMs had little to do with it There are classics like "The Sound", by Reese and Santonio (+/-112BPM) ranging up to some of those tracks from Blaze at close to 130. (For me) It's always been about the feeling, the style... Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore... Its all good the way I see it.

There was this song by the Poison Clan on Luke's label that had a KILLER HOUSE MIX on it by Farley.

And yes Peculator is House, it just got adopted by Bmore... Those are the guys from Cajmere that did "Brighter Days" and some other House cuts.

yessss!!!! we've finally managed to turn this thread into a diss topic!... almost. ive been waiting. AND you went out of your way to do your homework.
[brushes shoulder]
if you transition from perculator to world hold on (both are apparently house tracks in your words), you dont have skills. i dont think its possible to contain all of the things you call house music into one category called house music. there was a fork in the road sometime in the perculator years where the 'miami bass' style music took its own path and the pop house took its own path and lead to two completely different styles of music. the pop stuff ultimately took the road that lead to european house music while the perculator path became bmore house. the comparison i would use would be the local pop radio station playing akon and calling it hip hop. its not entirely incorrect, but its like calling a van gogh painting realism (what you know about art son?). yes, there are parts of reference and all, but its clearly not.

I think we would agree that they come from the same roots, but they are completely different creatures now.

now, back to your regularly scheduled thread.

I don't get it. What's wrong with fat girls or any girls asking for raggaeton? Are they sub-human or something? They're not worthy of asking for specific kinds of music?

Please explain.

This older chick comes up to the booth with about 80 people in the spot on a Friday night and asks if I can turn the music off so a small group of them can sing happy birthday. Not so unusual a thing to hear. I say yes or no depending on the vibe and the amount of people there. I look around cause I cant quite call it, and about 3.8 seconds later this biatch goes, "AAHHH FUck YOU!" and storms off. It was so unexpected. I'm used to getting grief from the drunk rich bitches at this spot, but usually after I tell them to stop harrasing me, this one didn't waste any time.

I had this happened to me once but the chick called her friends to werre I had my setup. They were talking amongst each other bringing up songs. I had just finished mixing in a house song that is like 6 minutes long so I ended up walking away from the set up. When they turned around to tell me the songs....I magically dissapeared. I could tell they were confuzed. lol. I ended up coming back 3 minutes later and continued the mix. Freaking Sweet!!!

i got a dumb look for it. then I busted out with "come on you dumbass, there's no one here. I'm not gonna burn the heaters just for you". then she begged a little bit, then I said, "ok ok ok, if i play some britney spears will you chill out"? She laughed, and I felt good for belittling her.
Caramac 5:08 PM - 6 November, 2007
To be honest if its literally just one group of people and its early then I'll play anything they want within reason just so I can get some peace and quiet. When its early I usually just play random tunes anyway and sit there with a magazine till it starts to pick up.

If it's packed early though they can go whistle.

Probably the most wasted girl I have ever encountered...very hot, but completely shit faced...and insane.

her: *almost inaudible* "what happens if i was too dump my drink all over your computer"
me: (befuddled look, scared to think she was serious) Id be pissed.
her: *laughs and begins to tip the glass*
me: (grabs her forearm, stops the tipping motion, grabs the drink)Get the fuck away from my shit
her: *laughing*
me: (I see the kid that hired me I stop the music) "Hey Zach, get this dipshit away from my shit"
(he comes and gets her, begins to lead her away, she begins to swear at me, flipping me off)

then best part and i wish I had a video camera seeing this was in front of EVERYONE...

It was 3 weeks ago.. I really don't recall. He had all the markings of a hipster. In other words, he looked like a total douchebag. I would think his whole mind set behind that was "hey.. let me go stick it to the dj over there to show how how above Top 40 music I am.." when in reality... all the does is act exactly how his friends do, and like what his friends like. If you've ever seen the "Goth Kids" episode of South Park you'll know exactly what I mean.

I don't like playing that crap one bit, but hey.. that's what I'm paid to do, so I do it. There's no need to walk up and be like... "Umm.. I think I need to hear something a bit more avant-garde... This 50 Cent gentlemen is not doing it for me." What an ass.

Well you never know whos who and whats what... So I just turned down the gain on that group of speakers and kept it moving. Still dont know who it was.. but in order to be invited there you had to be a pretty heavy donor.

My friday spot is usually a mixed crowd nowadays, but back in the day it, it was basically a neighborhood spot. And it seems like although neighborhood spots are cool to hang at, they dont generate the same $$ that the visiting crowd does. So the managers and owner leaves it up to me to refresh the crowd when its not the way they would like it to be. The managers are younger and use words to describe the crowd, like "Lets shoot for a more commercial crowd" or "Its getting a little to Urban in here".

The Owner is more old school and doesnt mince words at all.. I've known him a long time so I know he doesnt mean things to sound like they do,.. but hes come up to the booth before and said things like, "Try and chase the local knuckleheads out of here" or "Lets get rid of the suit and tie crowd, its 9:00 and they are still here." or even.. "Hey its getting kinda dark in here.... should I call for more security?"

We all know what they mean, but the music scene is so diverse nowadays, that you can tell whos listening to what. And we all know about refreshing the floor and all.. but at the risk of what? I've had them "issue the order..." and I do what I think they mean, but the people that they want to leave, dont and the people they want to stay leave...

So I say all this to say, This past friday, I was told, Just do what you think is right....

I agree that managers have no idea.. What I cannot fault the managers for is them not actually liking what passes for music these days, because there are TONS of songs that make it into the top 10 that SUCK harder then a Bill Clinton era intern. Case in point: YOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!! is currently Number 1 on Billboard charts. Too many retards decide what they like simply by the age of the actual track. Some tool came up to me asking for "Blue Pill" the other day. Song sucks, not ONE bit of effort went into making it, but hey, he thinks, if it's new it's good. Personally for me, music has been in an all time low over the past few years. Just because you can rock a crowd playing the crap that gets radio play all day doesn't mean you're good.. it just means you're spoon-feeding them what they already know. A lot of us play that crap cause we have to. Just like any other job..

That same gig earlier on in the thread that i did at the WTC building, I played 70's disco most of the night, and the people that I thought I was playing it for were less than interested that there was music at all... the ones that were dancing were the 20 and 30 somethings from the cast of the show that opened that night. There are times (alot of them) when I miss the old clubs in NY that I used to sneak into just to "Be" there... To hear Larry Levan or David Morales spin. They would play the same tracks that everyone else could... but they were meticulous on the EQs, they would have people packing the floor and then just cut the bass, they could play a non-dance track and make it dancy with little effort. Sure it was a different time but it seemed that far less people were concerned with Billboard charts or the bottom line in those venues.

I know we all hate it, but it continues to happen. Someone will ask to hear the same crap that they heard on the radio on the way to the place where they will ask you to hear it again... and maybe even hear it again on the radio on the way home right before they rear-end the minivan in front of them while talking on the phone.
Caramac 10:03 PM - 12 November, 2007
@ Frost - Jokes aside I hear you. Funnily enough some girl asked me for that Souljah Boy tune (she'd been dancing all night) so I thought why not she's not given me any grief and she was polite. So I dropped it and her and her mates cleared off the dancefloor.

Now I've given it some thought. I think she did it on purpose. Lol.

A lot of us, but not all of us.
Honestly, I find out about these shitty songs y'all play on these boards - but I never actually download or buy them, much less play them to people.

I'd quit DJing if I had to treat it like a real job with a boss.
Even if you only got 20GB of music, you prob know more than your average bar manager about music. You should be treated as such.
DJ's should be more like a freelance contractor, as opposed to an employee.
As a hired professional, you get more respect for your craft.

I agree with this wholeheartedly, the problem is the same lack of knowledge that makes a manager think that they know what the crowd wants everytime is the same lack of knowledge that makes them think that instead of hiring us with "x" years of experience, He can hire some microwave kid with 1/4 the amount of talent/experience for 1/2 the $$

sometimes I feel like there should be a certification exam for being a DJ.

I know I love what I do, because I would do it for free. Same as my 9-5 I love it so much I would do it for free if I could sustain myself.

I feel what everyone here is saying. I'm currently in Iraq, Camp Taji to be exact. I Volunteer for the MWR to DJ for the troops. I am a contractor here, but a dj-ed at home. This allows me to keep my skills up while working here. The Troops here are the same as the patrons in the states. The only thing is they can't drink. hmmm, which in my opinion makes it worst. I get all the above comments and request. The most requested song of course is YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.. I swear i cry everytime someone ask for it. Sometimes i lie and say its on my other hard drive LOL... The other most request song is "wipe me Down" Lord PLEASE save hip hop LOL

some of us SoCal djs were at a spot in Newport hanging out and djing(I wasn't dj). While Uno Seis was spinning this hood looking dude comes up to me to request a song.

Time: 10:30
of death request: Living on a Prayer

I told the guys that his hood card should be revoked for that kind of shit.

No doubt. I really don't understand the appeal of these songs after so long. I'm tempted to conclude that at some time in this guys nightlife career, a dj dropped that song 15 minutes before close and the drunken room sang along louder then the music. That will forever be ingrained in his mind as the single most amazing nightlife experience he has ever had, and therefore, he'll be doomed to a life of trying to get dj's to help him relive that moment.. where he can belt out those hallowed Bon Jovi lyrics, and air guitar himself into Guitar Hero Heaven.. no matter what time of night it is. I feel really bad for people like that.

Got a good one last night at Avalon...

I'm playing my usual set, top40 and hiphop, then I move into house...maybe 10 seconds into the first house track this little dude runs into the DJ area (to get there he had to run up some stairs, so he was either standing right by the stairs or he literally ran full speed as soon as he heard a house kick drum)

Little dude: My boys say this is gay, you gotta play some hiphop
Me: Every song I've played up 'til this one is hiphop. There are over 1,000 people here. You and your boys aren't the only ones here, I'll get back to the hiphop but right now I'm playing to please some other people
Little dude: Ok man

An Hour Later after going back to the hiphop and getting some requests for a few other house tracks by some chicks I got back into some house the same dude shows up again literally 20 seconds into the house track

Little dude: Come on dude this shit is gay.
Me: well little fella (yes I called him little fella) I had a bunch of hot ass girls requesting this track, should I listen to some hot ass girls or your little ass.
Little dude: Fuck that man my boys and I can't dance to this shit
Me: Maybe you should try dancing with some girls instead, I don't think it's the music that's "gay" in this situation

He just sulked off down the stairs.

I had the same chick request the cupid shuffle four weeks in a row. The first time she requested it I told her that I don't have it first of all becuase its forboden at the this club...and second of all it sucks. The first week she was really pushy cuz I guess she thinks she's hot, which she basically is, but that first time I talked to her I knew she was bitch.

So she comes back the next week and I tell her the same thing...still a bitch.

Third week she comes back and is like, I've asked you three weeks in a row; can't you play it? I tell her again that I don't even own it! Which I really don't. So she gives me her bitchy scowl face and tells me that its the DJs job to play the music that she wants. And that I should have gotten it for her by now. Did I mention that she always tries to pull the "Play my song because I'm gonna leave in 15 minutes card"...does that shit really work on a DJ? I mean really!

So the fourth week in a row she brings her wack ass request to me...before she opens her mouth I'm like "I don't have it". She starts yelling that I should download it NOW! I tell her calmly that I can't download it, cuz I'm in the middle of a set and that I don't download illegal files anyway because I buy all my music. So she retorts with, "Well then buy it! I'll wait". Realising that obviously logic and reason are lost on the bitch I get really pissed and go off on her...

I pray to god that she comes back with a wack ass request again cuz I'm gonna blow the fuck up on her...

Why be so annoying? Just go have fun, dance, and get drunk! Obviously I don't play that type of music...so why keep coming back?

Sat 18th bday all urban crowd. Worst bday girl annoyance ever. Anyways she kept coming up to me asking to play her CD's while the dance floor was packed with everyone dancing, i told her i dont play cd's which was true because sometimes it crashes serato for some reason. anyways she kept complaining so i shut my stuff down and pointed to a gemini cd player about 45 min left of the night she was playing her cd finally lol. Well 75% of the songs i already played and the rest i had she just never requested it. As soon as her cd came on everyone left and i felt bad when she sang her bday thing everyone was gone....I had it packed with 100+ people jammin out and she insisted she knew what she was doing and killed it for her self. Oh and normally i do what ever the bday girl says but i was paid by the owner not her :).

Same night some kid came up to me staring at my laptop and said hey hood figga thats a good one play that. I looked at him and said nothing just stared, because that was the song already playing......

You're probably right! I see her pushing some guy around the club...she actually had him come up and request a song for her once. He's a big guy, but he was very cordial so I actually played it. I think it was jaheim or something...

I had i guy staring at my laptop for about 15 min straight... (I'm really gonna get one of those privacy screens). But he didnt ask for any songs or anything, just lookin. I thought maybe he was just thinking about buying Serato. (cause everyone is a DJ in NY)

so after a while he looks over at me and says, "You're nothing without that laptop, right??"

The whole night I'm cuttin it up floor is packed, everything...

This friday past, I was at my normal gig and was midway thru an oldschool reggae set. Its not unsusual after all the wall space is taken up with people grinding for some to graduate to the front of the booth since its the only wall left. Some chick with long-ass 90's Patra braids whips her head back and one of the braids knocked the needle clear off the record. Luckily it only took me a half-second to switch over since I was about to drop the next song. I dont know how long her "hair" was, but the floor of the booth is 2 feet higher than the dance floor and there a 18 inch plexi fence around the top...


Are you sure it wasn't a PREDATOR???

I ask a question back "what year were you born?". She replies "1985". I smile and sarcastically say "that explains it, do you want me to play like something from MTV?". She gets a huge smile on her face and says "yeah". So I throw up the double thumbs up and continue to play golden era classics for the last 15 minutes of the night.

as things often get misconstrued on this board, let me start off by saying.. this is not a generalization of everyone, this is SPECIFICALLY about the places I work, and the clientèle there.

I'm not sure what the deal is with the pushy 5'2" Asian bitches that INSIST on hearing Britney "RIGHT NOW" --

I had one better last night.. she comes up and starts yelling about wanting to hear Barbie Girl... I looked up and said "You must be kidding me," but as my luck would have it.. she was dead serious. Request denied. You're lucky I don't have you kicked out for having such bad taste in music. Now go back to your apple martini.

I got some other chick that wanted to hear Fergie's "new" song.. which I assumed was Clumsy.. not really sure what's new and whats not.. that's the latest one I got. She says she wasn't sure if that was it or not and wanted me to sing it. I politely declined her request, but naturally she continued to insist that I sing it to her, which wasn't going to happen. She finally gave up when I told her I'd play it "later" being that I was playing in the 125 - 130 bpm range at the moment, telling her it was too slow for the time being. What do people tell you when you say a song is too fast/slow... "NO.. THAT SONG ISN'T SLOW.. WHY CAN'T YOU JUST PLAY IT.." Anyway, I tell her later, and she finally goes away, only to have a member of her group come up and request it again and again every 5 minutes. Do people really think that works?

oh, and I forgot to mention.. the whole night started out with some girl requesting "that justin timberlake song" or "journey" while I was still plugging in cables. That should have been a giant red flag marking the suck that composed that night.

Bah.. so sick of explaining myself to idiots.

I had the same chick request the cupid shuffle four weeks in a row. The first time she requested it I told her that I don't have it first of all becuase its forboden at the this club...and second of all it sucks. The first week she was really pushy cuz I guess she thinks she's hot, which she basically is, but that first time I talked to her I knew she was bitch.

So she comes back the next week and I tell her the same thing...still a bitch.

Third week she comes back and is like, I've asked you three weeks in a row; can't you play it? I tell her again that I don't even own it! Which I really don't. So she gives me her bitchy scowl face and tells me that its the DJs job to play the music that she wants. And that I should have gotten it for her by now. Did I mention that she always tries to pull the "Play my song because I'm gonna leave in 15 minutes card"...does that shit really work on a DJ? I mean really!

So the fourth week in a row she brings her wack ass request to me...before she opens her mouth I'm like "I don't have it". She starts yelling that I should download it NOW! I tell her calmly that I can't download it, cuz I'm in the middle of a set and that I don't download illegal files anyway because I buy all my music. So she retorts with, "Well then buy it! I'll wait". Realising that obviously logic and reason are lost on the bitch I get really pissed and go off on her...

I pray to god that she comes back with a wack ass request again cuz I'm gonna blow the fuck up on her...

Why be so annoying? Just go have fun, dance, and get drunk! Obviously I don't play that type of music...so why keep coming back?


Not saying you should of handled it differently, but here's the way I would have handled it the first time. I would have said "Sorry, but the club owners do not allow that song to be played at the club and I want to keep my job" and left it at that. Then in the same breath (if she is a hot as you say), I would have hit on her hard. This accomplishes a couple of things...it doesn't show your "disrespect" for her musical tastes and if she is not feeling you at all she will leave you alone and not come back and if she is feeling you, then you still win. When you said "it sucks", it gave her the inclination that there was room for discussion (like she had to convince you it doesn't suck)and that you just aren't playing it soley because you don't like it, so then she felt like it's a competition and (for the sake of her ego) you are going to play this song (cause she is hot). Just my opinion of course, I wasn't there so I don't know all the circumstances (how bitchy and annoying she really was, etc.).

"can you play The Nutcracker Suite by Tchaikovsky?" while playing Crank That.

A lot of the time, I see them coming, and just look busy. I dont make eye contact and start noddin my head to the empty headphones just so I can prolong ignoring them. But when I finally have to see/talk to them, its always the same, "Can you play......"

And I stop them dead in their tracks by extending my hand and saying, "Hello, my name is.... "

most times they understand and and start the sentence over. But sometimes they look at me crazy and wont even shake my hand or even FAKE being pleasant so I get a good look at them and go back to ignore mode.

If I say a song is too fast or too slow for what I'm playing and the people get confused, I say, "Listen...try to sing the song you want to hear along with the song that's playing now...It's way too (insert fast or slow here) isn't it...sounds pretty stupid doesn't it...imagine if I started playing the track that fast, it'd sound horrible."

I did a corporate christmas party friday night for about 120 people. About 30 mins before the party was suppose to end one of the organizers (btw it was to many of them giving different orders) was standing about 40 ft from the dj area saying last dance, and sliding her fingers under her neck and shaking her head.
You know some signs are universal like the tilt your head to the sky = what's up, slide your fingers under your chin by your neck = kill it or stop what your doing. I get on the mic and annouce this will be the last dance, I thanked everyone for coming out etc. After I turned off the music, she comes up to me with a few other organizers, and says what are you doing? I told her you said "last dance and stop the music." She says no I was telling you to play "Last Dance by Donna Summer".

Now I understand that MOST people born in 1985 are stupid and wouldn't know good music if it bit them in the ass BUT I have to say something to this becuase I was born in 1985 and I HATE the mtv shit. So don't judge a persons request based on when they were born wait until they request a lame ass song. and keep playing that real hip hop maybe they will learn what good music is if you play it enough

Since when is Percolator (Chicago), Hoes In This House (Chicago) and Ass n Titties (Detroit) considered Baltimore?

Perolator is a HOUSE classic, Hoes In This House is a HOUSE classic and Assaults Ass n Titties is a Detroit Anthem... all from the early/mid 90's.... Just bc some retard labeled it as Baltimore Club Music on Limewire or Acquisition does not mean its correct.

Whores In This House is Baltimore, made by Frank Ski of Doo Doo Brown fame.

Those songs were ADOPTED by the BMore scene, except for Hoes In This House.

This past weekend I was spinning Booty, BMore, not the new BMore remixes but BMore from '99 - '01 (Ho's In This House, Big Girls, Percolator, Ass & Titties) and some dude came up asking if I was gonna play "this euro-techno stuff" all night long.

Weird shit.


Since when is Percolator (Chicago), Hoes In This House (Chicago) and Ass n Titties (Detroit) considered Baltimore?

Perolator is a HOUSE classic, Hoes In This House is a HOUSE classic and Assaults Ass n Titties is a Detroit Anthem... all from the early/mid 90's.... Just bc some retard labeled it as Baltimore Club Music on Limewire or Acquisition does not mean its correct.

#1 advice to all DJ's... LEARN YOUR MUSIC!


they might not be b-more house in the sense that they are not originaly from b-more... but they realy started the b-more house sound that the b-more artist played off of. and just because something is labeled b-more, or house, or techno does not mean that they were MADE in b-more or chicago, or detroit.

I did a corporate christmas party friday night for about 120 people. About 30 mins before the party was suppose to end one of the organizers (btw it was to many of them giving different orders) was standing about 40 ft from the dj area saying last dance, and sliding her fingers under her neck and shaking her head.
You know some signs are universal like the tilt your head to the sky = what's up, slide your fingers under your chin by your neck = kill it or stop what your doing. I get on the mic and annouce this will be the last dance, I thanked everyone for coming out etc. After I turned off the music, she comes up to me with a few other organizers, and says what are you doing? I told her you said "last dance and stop the music." She says no I was telling you to play "Last Dance by Donna Summer".

OMG


Wow!! That is nuts. Don't people know that that song ONLY gets played at the end of the night. What a fuckin moron. I would have been speechless. Its like, next time start a party off with Last dance and finish with Lets get it started and see how confused people get
haha

Lol I was thinking it the other night. Some girl was getting on my nerves and I wanted to remember her so I could avoid her if she ever came back. Lol.


make a board called the wall of shame... "if your face is on this wall, don't talk to the DJ"


They do something like that in stores in NY. They take pictures of Shoplifters and post them by the door. Damn, my booth would be littered with pictures of crazy people...

Speaking of which, I got a call from a friend Saturday afternoon. He's an old-school hip hop guy and they asked him to do a sweet 16. So I told him I would help. It turns out MTV had a camera there (I think shooting for that show they do about parties) I was thinking to myself, theres nothing special about this place (other then the mountain of speakers and soundguys they had) then I hear someone doing a sound check. The voice was a little familiar but I couldnt place it. I poke my head up from the booth and theres a band set up on the stage. I still had no idea who it was... Then they went into "Hay Que Bueno" and i was like... NO F^%#$% WAY.. it was Notch. He did about a 4 song medley and signed some autographs and bounced...

I was able to catch a few pics before the MTV people swept him away...

Ha ha. I swear people at my residency read this thread.

I had big ideas to forever imortalise the people who inspire this thread by taking photos of them and placing them next to there comment/request and you know what. Not one person asked me for anything stupid. I got asked for some DnB, I said no they said fine and walked off and continued to dance. It was like that all night...

...But don't worry people. Someone somewhere will not be able to resist the urge to ask/tell me to play (insert random song) because everyone will dance. And when they do. Me and my camera will be ready for them!! Lol.

Here's one that is that get you guys laughing your ass off. I'm doing a wedding and almost immediatly this woman with real pointy tits and a very low cut dress starts with "hey you gotta play some hip hop" while she's rubbing them against me. I told her and showed her the info sheet from the bride stating (No Rap-hip hop) but of course that didn't mean anything to her. She kept it up all night maybe 6-7 times (including the tit rubbing) so near the end of the night while I've got a huge bunch of people out there singing Paradise by the Dashboard Lights (Not my selection) she rubs me again with the tits and of course the hip hop request. This time I've reached the end of my rope and I turn around and see this really big guy standing nest to her but I don't really give a shit at this point so I open up my Big Mouth. " Gee lady you really don't like to hear no for an answer- do you? But I bet you can give it out real well, right? The Guy looks at me and say "Holy shit you know my wife" well I almost pissed my pants when he said that, it made up for her behavior all evening. A little while later he came up to me and stated that after 14 years of marriage he had never seen anyone put her in her place-she usually is so persistant everyone gives in, including him. I'm now his hero- go figure

Stupid guy: "Do you take requests?"

No, didn't want to put him on blast & make a scene early in the night when most folks are having their first drink just chillin' and talkin'...

From there, the conversation went into about 10 stupid requests for shit that would have sent the early arrivals out the door, but all broken up by long silences while while the wheels turned in his tiny redneck brain...

I got all yall beat.. So, you all know i dj out here for the troops in Iraq. I'm doing a Large unit Xmas party. Mine you the Head man (Col) is white and loves Hip hop. His Second in charge (sergeant Major) is black. So, i'm playing Xmas music like i was asked for the 1st hour. I mean i'm playing classics like Temptations-silent night, Jackson five - saw mama kissin santa clause, Tlc sleigh right. YOu know the songs right, so i'm getting (so i thought). The soldier that hired me came on stage and asked me if i had some other music. I was like yeah, but you wanted xmas music for the 1st hour right. She was like yeah. That's when the SGM came on stage and said to me this.. "Hey Dj you're doing your thing and all, but do you have some OTHER xmas music?" "I'm like excuse me. I'm not following". Mind you He is black. So he comes out his mouth with this "Do you have any other xmas music not performed by Blacks.. WTF. Yall i had to catch myself cause i almost lost my mind. I mean everyone was jammin and really having a good time. So, I smile and i say I might a Kenny G song. Then i said you strike me as the Bing Crosby type (F'n Uncle tom)

I mean really.. I thought Xmas music was xmas music. why does race have to matter on xmas too.

Dude, that Bing Crosby "White Christmas" is the shit. Don't Sleep! That smooth 50's crooner shit and then that fucker starts Whistling - that is sweet.

LOL.

Actually peoples perception of Christmas Music is very different . My all time favorite Christmas Song is This Christmas by Donny Hathaway with a Top 5 of that Bing White Christmas, Kurtis Blow, Wham - Last Christmas, a 50's type version of Jingle Bells(sounds like Andrews Sisters).

Pretty fucked up list huh.

I did an all white christmas party and played alot of soulful (all black) christmas music in the beginning and I also played a few songs from the new Michael Bolton cd. They loved it, they even danced when the Ojays christmas song came on.
I purposely did it because when I was a kid all I heard was white people singing christmas songs and wanted them to know we have music out there also.

I think he just wants logical arguments to convince the pinhead of how stupid he is for banning SSL.

Explain how it's just a way to conveniently bring more music. Ask him would he ban bringing more than 1 crate of vinyl or 1 CD book.
techjitsu 9:07 PM - 18 December, 2007
Any club owner that actually understand the IMPORTANCE of the DJ will already know about software\hardware like Serato and either have it pre-installed, or do their best to accommodate it. It means that they don't have to spend the money on maintaining a vinyl\CD library in their club!

Just a few random incidents...

Drunk girl stumbles up to request a tune, leans over the booth and leans onto the record. Music stops responds, "what the fuck?" "why did you kill the music?"

Drunk girl stumbles up with her friends screaming "Buy you a drink?" I assume she wants a request and wanted to hook me up for it, I tell her what I'm drinking and she gives me that "You Asshole" look and clarifies that she wants the song "Buy you a Drank", it's loud in that bitch...my mistake haha.

Drunk girl stumbles up to request a tune, gives me that "i'm gonna hurl" face, bends over, and gets her hair under my needle. Lifts her head up dragging the needle causing that horrible sound serato makes when you do that, and starts yelling, "don't touch me"

Club owners tell me to try out some electronic stuff, see how the floor holds up, 15 seconds in to a tune, some dude gets three inches from my face and tells me he will kill me if I don't cut the music.

Ghetto bitch with her eyebrows drawn on looking perpetually surprised requests no less that 15 artists I've never heard of, proceeds to tell me I wouldn't have heard of it...because I don't play "real" hip hop.

Typical hip hop snob walks up and says, "Man, I don't know any of these songs, play some underground shit" (mixing from TC Izlam to Sage Francis.)

Me: "Looks like it doesn't suck for those people" as I point to a PACKED floor.
Girl " No they are just drunk and don't know good music, come one this sucks play something that doesn't suck"
Me: " Lemme look for that song.. what was that, something that doesn't suck?
Girl" Yeah, that's it, play the Grease MegaMix!!"
Me" Are you kidding me? Ok, so I play the first 10 secs, and let the crowd realize what it was"
Crowd gives me deer in the headlights look. I turn it down, and say..

"Thanks to that great request from HER"... and pointed at her... crowd boos... "You asshole" comes out.. girl storms off.

Probably not the best way to handle that situation.. but I have played for a while, and I guess someone had to be made an example of.

Normally I smile, and try not to insult the requestee...

And YES, 30+ do not need to Superman that HO......

I had some of parents of some in-laws over the holidays who told me.."Those kids don't know what that superman song means."

Knowing, they had no idea what it meant, and that most kids.. do.

Stupid parents.

MY all time favorite one that happened to me a few months back....I was spinning some real jackin' jazzy latin style house and the dance floor was groovin' out and I was totally vibing with the crowd and all of a sudden this fake tan super steroid buff dude walks up to me.......

DUDE: "Hey guy. My girlfriend has a request for you."
ME: "Sure what is it?"
DUDE: "She wants to dance and she asked if you could play some house music?"
ME: "Uhhhhh...I AM playing house music. Was there a particular song she wanted to hear?"
DUDE: "Well this isn't house! This is hip hop! (mind you I was playing a track called "Sombrita" that has a real heavy Latin and deep house influence to it)"
ME: "Well sorry man, but this is house music....not hip hop."
DUDE: "You obviously don't know what real house music is then. How long have you been a DJ for? Cuz I think you need to get taught what real house music is"
ME: "....and what in your eyes is "real" house music dude?"
DUDE: "Techno and progressive. In Poland that's all they play and we didn't pay a $5 cover to hear you play this hip hop nonsense!"
ME: "SECURITY!!! LMAO"

Needless to say I told the dude to go back to Poland and rock his 1,000 BPM EURO TRASH! No offense to ANYONE who spins OR listens to progressive or techno, but apparently he didn't know that his house music came from the original soulful stylings of music just like what I was playing.

DJ Lil Vito 4:15 PM - 10 January, 2008
Requests at clubs are funny to me.

First of all, I think it's more of a "feel good" thing. People can request a song politely, and most likely if it's good I'm already gonna throw it in my set somewhere. Nine times of out ten, the girls come up - request a song politely and that's it.

It's that one out of ten request from a douchebag dude of some really drunk bitch that really pisses me off. Luckily the way my club is designed the requester usually gets intercepted by the lighting tech, so I don't have to deal with it.

The disrespect really gets old, but it's part of our jobs and usually if I'm in a good mood I'll fuck with them pretending I've never heard of the track, or say I don't have it, or play something with a similar title and smile at them.

Last night some chick gives me the "thumbs down" for playing "Somebody's Watching Me" by Rockwell. Then she keeps saying but I love you!

So, why is it, when people play 1 song 1 person doesn't like, they feel the need to be rabid assholes about it. But if you play 50 songs all night that keeps the floor hopin, they don't come over every time giving you high fives, drinks, and BJ's???

I spin a very liberal mashup set on Thursdays at a club in Denver. The crowd is generally upscale 20s-40s so I play a more 70s-90s and Top 40, but generally stay away from anything down tempo or too gangsta.

About halfway through the night a homie pops up outta nowhere straight thuggin'. He's wearing dickies, a wife beater and a plad shirt with the top button buttoned....in the middle of a crowd of clean cut college kids...

Him: Yo Dawg, I need you to do me a favor
Me: Aight, as long as its not too kinky
Him: You, think you're funny bro? These people out here think you suck!
Me: Thats why they're dancing
Him: You ain't down if you don't play me a song
Me: Damn, can't let that happen (as I turn away to load a track)

At this point he backed off a bit with a cheezy look on his face (Like I'm ever gonna play someone like that a song). I dropped a mashup I had just made of The Macarina vs Ms. New Booty...then picked up the mic and said... "This is dedicated to all the playaz in the club from my homie right here in the RED plaid shirt, and now lets cheer him on to do the famous C-walk!

The crowd went started cheering and the homie left. Even more amazing is they actually danced to it!

That happened to me very recently also.

new years eve i had the place jumping when some guy came up asking for "some 80s" I told him i'd play some after midnight and he went away. 10 minutes later (approx 22:45) he shows up again telling me that he and his friends are going to leave the bar and go to a party at someone's house if i didn't play any 80s immediately. I killed the KRS 1 joint I was spinning and dropped a Kenny Loggins joint, and got my MC to point out the twat who'd asked for it. The dancefloor turned en masse and boo'd the guy out. As he and his friends left we got back to "MCs Act Like They Don't Know".

the only sticker that has any reason being left on the hat is the hologram. price tags and barcodes need to go. BUT...

another reason for leaving stickers on hats is, at least in the case of light colored hats, the stickers leave a residue behind and the second you touch it its dirty and its the same as scuffing your brand new jordans or bumping the table with your white tee. it just doesn't look fresh anymore.

Last night: (music style has a very broad range in this place)

Dude-"Hey bro can you like, play some really good dance music?(meanwhile everything I'd played was above 110 bpm)
Me-"You're gonna have to be more specific."
Dude-"You know, something really good that we can dance to."
Me-"You can dance to every single thing I've played tonight."
Dude <rolls his eyes, looks away slightly, then back at me>"Come on bro, you know what i mean."
Me-"No I don't. I need specific titles...I can't read your mind."
Dude-"Like something we'd hear on the radio in the last 6 months."
Me-"Like some Top 40/Hip Hop?"
Dude-"YEAH!"
Me-"Wouldn't it just have been easier to ask me for some Top 40/Hip Hop?"

a few songs later I dropped a tech n9ne track that I'm really into and dude runs back up, says "HELL YEAH!", goes to the bathroom, then sits back down. douchebag.

what's even worse is when they come up, ask you for a song that's 37 bpm away from where you're at, you tell them 'yeah, i'll work it in", then they expect you to play it immediately, but for every song that goes by that you don't play they make an increasingly more animated "WHAT THE FUCK!?" gesture at you until you play said song. Then, when you finally get to where you mix it in they STILL sit in their fucking chair and just gyrate around violently.

Caramac 12:10 PM - 21 January, 2008
In all fairness I can see to a point why some people don't understand the BPM thing. You have tunes with a fast BPM but a slow pace. Customers will ask you to speed things up and you play something else at the same BPM but with a faster pace and they give you the thumbs up in appreciation.

Unless of course it's something stupidly different like a slow crunk song when you're playing jungle.

I DJ with a 6 piece funk band, and last Friday played a bar that has a pretty big college crowd. Some dude was posted up with his friends in a booth near the stage, and starts yelling at me:

"Can we do karaoke?!?!?!"
I just look at him and don't reply
"Dude, seriously can we do karaoke?!?!?!"
I tell him to come back Wednesday night.

10 minutes later

"Hey can we do karaoke?!?!?"
Me "Are you fucking crazy?"
(keep in mind this is in the middle of a song...)

"Hey can we do karaoke? Artie (the owner) says its OK?!?!?!"
Me (sarcastically cause I'm tired of his shit) "Sure dude go for it"
Him "Really?"
Me "Fuck no."

Finally he backed off... what a douche. Later that night I had 2 people reach up onto the stage over my decks and try to scratch, and one absolutely retarted chick try to put her drink down ON MY TURNTABLE. WTF...

The club owner asked me if I could come back and DJ there Sunday night, sorry man... can't do it.

"Can you play something with rythm" or "Can you play something I can dance to" are 2 favorites, makes me laugh my ass of.
I also have a cure for all requesting idiots. All reuests are disqualifed I tell them. This works, and should be practiced by all dj´s. Also I get people trying to say something when they see you are obviously mixing in full effect, but they still want you to talk to them.
One other solution is also to put up a request list and charging people for that shit, ex Shakira - 500 dollars and so on.

I had a bit of an argument with one boy last night. Every week he keeps asking me for Anonymous by Bobby Valentino and I usually play it because I like the tune.

Anyway this weekend matey is there early and he comes up and asks for Bobby V. I'm like cool. I'll play it later in my slow section. He's like cool.

10 mins later he comes up and says play Anonymous. I'm like later bruv. it's too slow for now. But I'll definitely spin it.

Bare in mine all he does is goes and stands in the middle of the dancefloor looking around waiting for this tune.

10 mins later he grabs me by the arm (I'm mixing) and he shouts ''play my fucking tune''.

This is where I start to lose it a little..

Me - Listen
Him - I want ...
Me - I'm talking so shoosh!
Him - (silence)
Me - I said I will play your tune and I will. I play it every week. I'm just not playing it now.

He then walks off.

20 mins later he's back.

Him - I've waited and now I want my fucking tune.
Me - Look. Listen. If I don't see you dance with one girl in the next 5 minutes you're not getting your fucking tune. Now go!!

He must have gone and told his boys because all I see is them listen to him for a minute then burst out laughing and pointing at him.

Thing is I didn't see him after that so I ended up not playing his tune. Lol.

Friday night.. in the middle of playing Daft Punk - Stronger and about to go into some more uptempo shit when this guy comes over and is like

"Dude I'm a DJ. I'll give you $50 if you play No Diggity right now for my chick"


Unless I had some kick ass crowd really eating up everything I was playing.. I would have done it for $50.. even if that song couldn't have been asked for at a more inappropriate time.


Yeah...that would be EASY MONEY! It's not like he was asking you to kill a dancefloor to play "Goodbye Norma Jean."

i occasionally do live hip hop shows at one of my spots so I get a lot of people that come thru looking to get on gigs...sometimes they'll ask me to drop a track and slip me a $20. I got these two cats that will come in and hand me a cd case. inside will be a Nice crisp $50 and a CD-R with one track on it. I'll pop in into the house cd player, hand them the mic and let em rip it real quick. I'm usually real picky about who I'll actually let rock the mic, but these guys actually kill it everytime and the crowd loves 'em...unfortunatetly for them it's their only good track. the rest are pretty garbage. It's a great situation though because it actually allows me to avoid being hassled about "putting them on" without having to actually book them for a full set, and i get extra loot out of it.

I had to DJ straight after a sold out 'People Under The Stairs' set.
They were playing off vinyl & an instant playback machine (no serato)

So I'm playing my first song off vinyl, sorting out my laptop & SL1.

Some random rolls up on stage, tells me how he's one of the best 'underground' ragga MC's from a not-very--populated area of the country and wants me to 'let him see the mic'. I explain that I have A) never heard of him & B) not even set up my own gear yet. Not to mention the sound engineer has started de-rigging the cordless mics 2 feet away from us.

Dude gives me a screwface like... "your loss, bro". I was so dumbstruck & busy, I didn't even get a chance to tell the guy to get fucked.
SUBSTANCE 4:02 AM - 29 January, 2008
djmoneyd425... that's cool about the local crew that you let perform at your gigs (for a small fee! ha)

So um, what you gonna tell them when they want to perform a different track? lol

After getting people coming up and making request that clearly would clear the dancefloor I started shouting out peoples name as I drop the song. I'd say "This is for Jimmy who bugged me all nite for this one, Thanks Jimmy"! So now I got less rage on me and now Jimmy will get harrassed also. If I'm going to kill the dancefloor I'm not going down alone. I noticed that makes people less likely to make request. But Not always...LOL!!! I'd rather be DJ a**whole than DJ what the hell is he doing...

djmoneyd425 9:36 PM - 30 January, 2008
oh yeah...here's a new one i got last weekend:

Old lady who is ALWAYS there: "Don't you have any country in there?"
me: "No."
Old Lady: "You mean to tell me that with all that technology crap you're using you don't have any country in there?
me: "yes"
Old Lady: "Yes you have country?"
me: "No, Yes I mean to tell you that I have no country in my library. You know that I have no country. I didn't have any the last 12 times you asked me and I'm not gonna have any the next 12 times you ask."
Old Lady: "Well why not!?"
me: "Because I don't play country. I don't get paid to play country. This is a hip hop venue. I'm paid to play hip hop."
Old Lady: "Well aren't you supposed to cater to your customers?"
me: "Look around. What do you think the ratio of hip hop lovers to country lovers is? <long pause> I'd say I'm catering to my customers."
Old Lady: "Well there's country on the jukebox right? Could you turn your music off for a few minutes so we could play what we want to hear on the jukebox?"
me: "<chuckle> Who is 'we'?"
Old Lady: "Me and my sister."
me: "<chuckle> You're joking right? You want me to turn off my system so that you can turn the jukebox back on? I don't think Derek (the owner) would be real happy with that."
Old Lady: "Why would he not be happy with that? You're supposed to cater to the customers."
me: "Because I'm paid to keep the crowd happy. Look around lady, there's 200 people in here and 198 of them came here to hear hip hop. I'm here 1 night a week, you're here every single day. You know I start at 9 on Fridays. If you wanna hear country then you've got all week and up til 9pm on Fridays to play as much country as you want. While I'm here it's hip hop, because that's what the people came here to hear. Get over it."
Old Lady: "Well I'm gonna discuss this with Derek."
me: "Ha! Go for it. Do you really think he's gonna give a shit? It's 2 vs. 200 lady. Good luck!"

I had a girl come up to me while spinning and she told me if I played her friends request that her friend would come home with me that night. I remember at the time thinking ha that's funny but I went ahead and played the song. Nothing happened her friend never came up to talk to me while I was spinning that night. At the end of the night I was chatting with the bartender and a girl came over (cute!) she said do you remember that request you had earlier? I said not off the top of my head, I get a lot of requests. She then told me I'm the one who said I would go home with you if you played my song. I have to admit I was a bit startled by that but sure enough she spent the night. Now that's the good part of the story, bad part is that happened in the early nineties and it hasn't happened ever since. :( Oh yeah the funny thing, I can't remember what song it was she requested.

I could go on forever in this thread about the 7 years I spent djing in Asia but the story above is definitely the most unique situation I ever encountered in my dj career.

Aside from the typical "play something I can dance to" and "do you have any hip hop?" (I'm a house DJ), I can finally add an original bullsh*t comment to this list:

First a little background: I live in South Dakota. You can imagine the club scene around here (see: none). A few of us local DJs managed to lock up a bi-monthly deal with a new martini bar. The bar wanted to bring something that no other bar in town has (actual DJs, not radio DJs moonlighting as club DJs).

Sooooo, it had been going real well for the first few weeks. People who had never heard real house music were bobbin their heads, closet house heads were freaking out because "their" music is finally getting played out and everyone is diggin the tunes all around.

One night, there was some sort of benefit in the hotel above this bar, and all these snooty middle aged asshats come shuffling down after the benefit ended. Most of them were hanging out having a good time, but there was a group off to the left of the DJ booth clearly not feeling the music.

I'm doing my thing, trying to ignore the icey glares from stage left. I hear "hey DJ, play some Skynnard". Ugh, here we go. "Play something else!" Finally a guy walks up as I'm drinking my beer between mixes. He goes "Hey buddy, are you going to play the same song all night?"

Without blinking and with a completely straight face I reply, "Yes, this is the only song I'm playing all night. I'm just looping it over and over." He looks at me like I just spoke in latin and turns away to sit back down. asshat.

DJ_Motion 6:36 PM - 4 February, 2008
I hate those peeps that request multiple songs at different times before it's even 10.

This happened to me thursday night... this dude asked for like 4 songs before 9:50.

He didn't get the point when I told him.. Let me see if I brought it tonight and then ignored him...

Also, those people that request a song.. then stand behind you waiting for it.
DJ-A 6:58 PM - 4 February, 2008
and ask you why you haven't played it yet...

then talk to you like an asshole because you arent playing it right now, even though they have reminded you 5 times... by this time youre thinking f-u i was going to play it before you even requested it, now you dont want to play it anymore cause dude is a dick, but you know everyone in the club will start requesting it if you dont...

or the will you play _____ for me.

I just played it 2 minutes ago. and then they stand there with a blank look on their face as they wait for your response...

here's my new response...


them "Do you take requests"

me "well that depends... do you take requests *wink wink*"

Guy: Yo man you think I could here some DJ Kwik?
Me: Yeah no problem!
Guy: Hey thanks man. Any way you'd be able to throw a Spice 1 joint in there?
Me: Lemme check on that one 'cause I'm not sure what I got.
Guy: Word, thanks bro...

about 10 minutes later I drop 'Bitch better have my money', then the other DJ jumps on for a while. about a half hour later while I'm waiting for a drink 'GUY' comes back up to me:

Guy: Yo you gonna be able to drop a Spice 1 track?
Me: Oh shit, yeah my bad man, I'll see what I got when I get back on the tables.
Guy: I'm just asking for one song yo...
Me: You actually asked my for two songs, and one of them I already played. Like I said before I'll be more than happy to drop that Spice joint for you when I get back on the tables if I have any. I just honestly don't know what I've got for him, if anything.
Guy: It's like that huh? Don't even worry about it if it's that big of a deal yo. All I asked for was one track.
Me: You're not hearing me bro. I said I'll play it if I got it.
Guy: Nah man don't even don't even trip. I just don't see why you can't even drop 1 track.
Me: DUDE! LISTEN! I'm not bullshitting you. I seriously don't know if I even have any Spice 1 and haven't even had a chance to look.

Guy walks away all butthurt.

dj_penguin 12:56 AM - 5 February, 2008
Probably the strangest thing I ever encountered happened while doing a bar gig at a hotel bar right near the UC Berkeley campus. One of my friends worked there as a bartender, and he had gotten a gig set up for our entire DJ crew, spinning house music. The first night they paid us for our performance with free drinks, and they never made that mistake again. They switched us to cash, and we were on a much tighter leash; it was made clear that we would lose the gig if any of us created a traffic menace, drunkenly hollered insults at the security guards, attracted the attention of the local police, did any of the other stuff that happened the first night, or deviated from the contract in any way. Fast forward a few weeks, and it's a relatively slow Tuesday night. There's a much smaller crowd than usual, but still a good group of drunken college kids getting their groove thang on. It's about 10, and there's this table full of older guys that've been giving me the stink-eye the whole evening, and one of the guys gets up and starts walking over.

Old Guy: Hey, can you play something else?

djp: What did you have in mind?

Old Guy: Maybe the Beatles, or some Eagles or something. (points at my turntables) I mean, you have record players, right?

djp: Sorry dude, I don't have anything like that.

Old Guy: But my friends and I are in town for our 30-year class reunion, and we're staying at this hotel, and we don't like this music.

djp: I'm sorry to hear that. The manager of this bar hired me and my friends to play house music in here two nights a week, and this is one of those nights.

Old Guy: (somewhat stunned that his mighty arguments and vast chronological superiority have failed to sway me) But we don't like this music!

djp: Look, I don't know what to tell you. The manager of this place wants house music to draw in the college crowd. That's why there's a special on well drinks tonight, and that's why we were hired to play house music. (I point at the people drinking/dancing) You see? Even if I had some Eagles records or Beatles records, which I don't, I couldn't play them tonight. This (I point at the 3-4 crates of house records on the bench behind me) is all we brought for the night.

Old Guy: (getting red-faced now) But my friends and I came here 30 years ago! And we're trying to celebrate our reunion without listening to this garbage!

djp: Umm, congratulations? I'm really sorry you don't like the tunes, but there's nothing I can do about that. There are at least a half-dozen good bars within three blocks' distance from here if you don't want to listen.

The dude sputtered for a minute and then stormed off, very agitated, and sat back down with his pals, where they all proceeded to give me the stink-eye for at least 20 more minutes before they finally left.

I guess some people are just severely unaccustomed to not getting their way all the time.

And that's actually the song that dude wanted to hear, but either way the point was that I was trying to explain to dude that I would be more than happy to play his request if my search determined that I had what he wanted (anything by Spice 1 in this instance) and he was pretty much accusing me of lying to him for no reason.

There's a DJ Casper on here sometimes, and I think it's the same guy who made this song. He's probably still getting serious $$$ for it.

Im getting so annoyed by bitches asking for "Boots with the fur" or "apple bottom jeans" I actually (without thinking) rudely tell them "THE SONG IS CALLED LOW" and give them a glare. Probably not the best idea since most of them are hot but this is almost more annoying than soulja boy.

when stuff like that happens.. it makes you wonder how many people out on the floor actually get what you're doing, and how many people are just waiting for a song they know the words to. I think in the future, when I get someone like that, I'll take it as a cue to throw in a mix cd.

Funny thing here is that you just did exactly what you're complaining about...assuming that by 'Soulja Boy' you meant 'Crank Dat'.

I'm getting tired of 'Low' too, but it's an automatic floor-packer with immeasurable value right now...just like 'Crank Dat' unfortunately.

I think that for me, I just need to change up the way I use it. For instance, instead of playing the regular versions of 'Crank Dat' I've been playing the mash-up vs. Low RIder version (everybody likes 'Low Rider'). I've got this really dope transition track that goes from 'Get Low' (Lil Jon) up to 'Low' (Flo Rida), and another transition track that goes from 'It's Me Bitches' (Swizz Beats) up to 'Gimme More' (Britney Spears). I'm sure many of you have them too, but I just have a lot of fun using them and it's been a good way to keep new ideas in my performance.

My suggestion is to never play Low again...Who's with me. This song sucks.

Your logic is flawed. He isn't complaining that people are requesting the song by its artist (Flo-Rida -> Soulka Boy), he's complaining that they are requesting it by a stupid lyric from the song.

So, had he said 'this is almore more annoying than 'superman dat hoe' you would have a valid argument. Unfortunately for you, as the thread currently stands, you do not.

I admit to kind of liking Low, but like DJ-A, get really irritated when the requests start at 8:30 and continue every 5 minutes, even when I just finished playing it.

I'm considering posting a sign reading, "LOW WILL BE PLAYED AT 15 MINUTES PAST THE HOUR EVERY HOUR, FOLLOWED BY CRANK DAT , CYCLONE, TIMBALAND, FERGIE, NELLY FURTADO, SEXY BACK, AND GWEN STEFANI. THE CYCLE WILL THEN REPEAT ITSELF."

I knew this was coming...and I understand what you're saying, but I meant simply that he was referring to the song directly without calling it by its correct name which is exactly, in essence, what djgeeth was complaining about.

but like I said earlier...

maybe I'm the only one that has people asking me for 'the Soulja Boy song' in the same context as 'the apple bottom jeans song'.

LOL.. that is true. i am lucky enough to have a security guard who intercepts all the useless people with requests so the amount of people I deal with personally has gone down. one thing i've noticed is when you make eye contact with them, they will come rushing up.... and assuming you play their request, they will come back for more and probably write out a whole essay for you

DJ-A, she was probably talking about Crank Dat by Soulja Boy.

I've had it requested as "SouljaBoy" (hopefully this indicates one-hit wonder status for all time), "That song that goes, 'YOOOOUUUUUUU!'", "Superman," and a couple of other completely random things.

The only thing I've *never* had it requested as is its actual title.

Whenever we play it, all the bouncers flip off the booth on every "YOOOOUUUUUUUU!"

I have to give credit to Mr. Boy, though... it's pure marketing genius for him to create his own line dance to the song.

The messed up thing is that MONTHS later people are still requesting Soulja Boy. The worst is his new song where he's pretty much mumbling. Yaaaaa gibila ya gibila ya - trick. Git out mah way/face whatever.

At 77BPM I can double time it with some quick house/techno, but that pisses people off even more because the folks requesting shit like that do not want to hear it double timed.

Spinning at a top-40 college club it's pretty much a necessity to play this shit.

Superman Dat hoe: Superman
is when a guy cums/ejaculates on a girl's back and puts a sheet on her
back. When she wakes in the morning and stands up, the sheet is stuck to
her back (like a cape) , you have officially supermanned that hoe.Watch

Me: Soooo...does that mean it sucks?

Girl: Well....."I" just dont know this one....and I wanted to dance right now.

Me: (just looking @ her like an idiot)....oh well...sorry...you aint the only person here.

Meanwhile the floor was packed and I was playin "lesson 3" so I could take a breather.

What kills me is that even if she had never heard "that" song....how can you not recognize those breaks let alone not DANCE to them?

I'm getting ready to mix into "Low".

Girl 1: Can you play some Flo Rida?
Me: (gesturing her into the booth) C'mere. (I point at the laptop screen)

laptop screen has the song currently playing in deck 1, and deck 2 says Low (w 32 beat intro) Flo Rida /T-Pain

Girl 1: That's not the one I want.
Me: That's the actual title of the song.
Girl 2 : Yeah, that's it.
Girl 1: No, not that one. The one about the boots.

LMAO that's gold. I'm SO doing that next time.

I don't have much to report here because I moved up to the elevated DJ booth in my regular residency which pretty much (thankfully) prevents anyone from talking to me unless they're really persistent and want to climb up a ladder. The spot is laid out pretty crappy but at least the booth is enormous.
DJ-A 11:39 PM - 17 February, 2008
this isnt a request... but i figured i'd post it here...

so, getting my ass grabbed (by chicks) isn't anything new, especially in the club. last night it was a diff kind of ass grab, she slipped her hands down the back of my pants (not boxers) and grabbed my ass... i thought for a second and realized what she did, i turned and was pleasantly surprised that it was a HOTT chick, i looked at her and smiled, and said hi. she stared for a second and then kissed me.

later in the night (there were tons of people around me) i started to feel a bump, bump, bump on my left thigh i turn and boom boom boom another HOTT chick starts bumpin my junk with her fine ass...

wow, if every night was like that.. what a wonderful world. i think i got a pic with the ass bumper and her friends, i'll have to check
Releaux 4:32 AM - 18 February, 2008
Management decided last night that they were going to try to get serious about getting Saturday nights back to being retro night. They didn't tell me this, though, until after I'd already played 3-4 newer rap songs around 11:30. So of course as soon as I drop back to retro everyone starts requesting rap since they know I'll play it. I hold my own with retro until about 1:05 when I drop a couple more of the most requested tracks because the crowd has been really cool and patient.

Around 1:15, assistant manager tells me not to play anything newer than 1992 for the rest of the night. Fine - no problem.

1:50 (Last call is at 2:15)... chick comes up to me after I've kept the place hopping with classic heaters.

Her: "Can you play Cyclone?"

Me: "Sorry, I'm not playing any more new hip hop or rap tonight."

Her: "Ok, well how about Low?"

Me: "I already played it, and I'm not playing any more new hip hop or rap tonight."

Her: "Do you have Lean Back?"

Me: "I have it, but I'm not playing any more new hip hop or rap tonight. Management wants me to keep it retro for the rest of the night, sorry."

Her: (pause...) "Can you play Soulja Boy then?"

Me: (deep breath) "No. No more rap tonight. Just retro."

Her: (longer pause.......) "So are you gonna play anything better than this?" (referring to Prince: 1999)

Me: (Deadpan) "Probably not."


The weird thing is that she didn't seem overly drunk or stupid. It was almost like she thought she could beat me down if she just kept asking for stuff.
DJ LTIZZZLE 7:26 AM - 18 February, 2008
Im in the middle of Breaking Elevator by Flo-rida and some other danceable tracks. I'm crusin at about 120 to 135 BPM range. And this soldier chich says to me.. Can you play something with a beat we can dance too. At the same time everyone else is on the floor working it out. I said sure what do you have in mind. This chick says Buy you drink.. I looked at her and was like "HMMMM PROBABLY NOT"..... are you serious? Wow...
djmoneyd425 8:24 AM - 18 February, 2008
ok, no more "play something with a beat we can dance to posts". we've all heard it. we've all had it happen during uptempo sets with packed dance floors. this scenario does not fall into "the most rediculous comment/request" situation any longer and probably never did. not trying to attact anyone and i pre-emptively apologize if anyone took that personally.

In those situations I just send them to management. I'm all for changing the music policy sometimes but it needs to be planned out before hand not halfway through your set ''oh can you play this for the next two hours''.

I just don't get it. Its like people need to request "something". On Saturday nights I do an all 80's 90's hip hop night at my residency. (the place has multiple floors). So a chick comes up, askes for some T-Pain. So I politely said, "I'm sorry, but its a 80's - 90's theme up here tonight, what else would like to hear?

So this chick says, oh well then play some Akon.

I'm looking at her like "WTF?!?!"

so Then she requests a song I don't have, so again I politley tell her sorry. Now she's standing there for a good 5 minutes. I wanted to just yell at her, "is making a request on your "to do list", because your missing out on having fun". She then said, Play Whitney Houston.

I swear people, just have to request something for the sake of requesting something.

As they get to the booth i tell them see I'm playing some pac, and they ALWAYS say this shit aint no pac, this is that humpty guy, and I say yeah, The Humpty guys band is Digital Underground, wich is the group that pac was first with, and this is the first recorded song with that group that pac rapped in.

Ever since meeting my missus I've had a new found appreciation for Celine Dion and other artists like that. Jamaicans seem to love her off for some reason.

You could be in the middle of a dance and the selector will draw for some Celine and the crowd will go wild.

It's that old dilema of what works better. Mixing or tune selection.

Where alot of sound system selectors lack in mixing ability they make up for in vibe building and tune selection.

I used to get that in one of my old residences and the booth was about 4 or 5 foot off the floor.

I was DJing for the K-1 fights last night, playing entrance music & between rounds.
Had some kid come up asking me 'how many fights left' after EVERY fight. "um, one less than last time?"
Plus, I'm dealing with fighters CD-Rs, national anthems & a mad Sefu who wanted AC/DC 'Thunderstruck' between every round. (literally, it's the ONLY song he wanted to hear. All night)
What do you do when the dude running the event wants to hear the same song fifty times? (take into account he has a gym worth of fighters in the place, and he also used to hold the record for the world's fastest punch)
Maybe I won him over with the Black Sabbath & Led Zeppelin?

I play close to regular house parties at this place called "the crackhouse" (not really a crackhouse, it's just a really run down apartment complex inhabited by the cats that smoke alot by my college dorm). Without fail, there are always a few people tripping on ___hallucinogens. So normally it's a pretty fun environment to play to. For some reason, every single time I play there, these 4 guys always show up, uninvited, and scream for me to play wu tang clan...while I'm in the middle of some dark/hard-step dnb, or something similar. I don't understand it. I wish I could double down quick enough to make them happy as they're being thrown out, but it always happens so quick. I wish i had an ain't nothing to fuck with/ dnb mashup. I'm gonna try that. Wu tang vs squarepusher. lets make this happen.

What's a producer?
I thought all music came from timbaland.
Are you saying I need to make another shrine?
Fuck.
How am I going to get enough of Diplo's hair to make a doll? Isn't he in Brazil now?

More of a wierd moment then anything else.

I was dropping some reggae last night and the crowd are loving it. All of a sudden some Amy Whinehouse look alike runs in the booth looks at the mixer and says...

''I thought this was an 808 with the effects''

She then mumbles somthing and walks out.

About half an hour later. I'm dropping some bass heavy tunes and she runs back in and starts trying to mess with the eq's turning the bass on and off. The bouncer comes up and tells her to come out the booth and she's like tell him you know me and that I can stay.

I told her junkie arse to jog on.

Wierd moment.

I'm playing the usual crap at this club and everyone is dancing. I ALWAYS push some good music. So, I get ready to throw some Tribe, Nas or whatever the fuck I'm feeling cause I need to clean myself of the evil spirits. :P

So, I drop some Tribe, people go nuts. Good call. I switch it up again. Later on, I drop some classic Biggie, love from the crowd again. Now I notice this girl doing the "kill it gesture to the neck" and I ignore her. I go back to playing crap. I got everyone under my control. 10 songs later or so, I drop Luniz - I Got 5 On it. Place goes wild. Same girl giving me the "kill it" hand gesture again.

Finally, she comes up to me for a request. I tell her, "You do this again" (while doing the "kill it motion") and I'm asking security to kick you out. Girl apologizes and leaves the booth embarrassed.... and KC Double just laughs her ass off. hahaha

3 weeks ago. Sports bar.

I'm playing some cool shit. I go into a Bay Area freestyle session and they're going nuts. The other illegalalien (a-dub) follows with some Dirty South. Place goes nuts. They're loving it.

I take over. Switch it up again. They're loving it. NOW THIS GIRL DECIDES TO COME TO me and request more Dirty South... which I won't play since a-dub already did. She's rude. I tell her straight up that I'll have a-dub play it on his next turn. She straight gives me the evil eye and walks off. As I'm playing my next few songs, she keeps coming up and requesting the same damn song and rude as hell still. I ignore her.

Finally, as I play my next song I see the bitch get up and she's heading my way again. I give her the "stop" motion with my hand and tell her BEFORE SHE CAN SAY ANYTHING, "fuck off". She gets pissed, cusses me out or something and leaves.... and KC Double just laughs. lol

John Nasty 6:04 PM - 7 March, 2008
OK guys, this one is going to make you fall of your chairs :
2 years ago i was playing at this local club, and this happens :
Guy : " Hey, this music sucks , can you play something we can sing to " ( me , playing house music , him ; wants to hear some rock songs )
Me : Sorry , we don´t play any rock music , or anything like that. This is a house club.
Then he starts to yell at me , sayin i was a bad DJ , this and that, so i called security and they moved him away.
A half an hour later guys comes back ; and starts the same routine again. Only this time , he does not insult me, he starts telling me stuff about my mother , sister. At that point i lost it. I pushed the guy so hard i could , and he falls on the floor. Security comes and throw him out.
Last summer , i got call from police, and they ask me about that night what happened. I tell them what happened and they call me to police station. Over there i found out that he pressed charges against me for HITTING him. Apparently he visited the hospital afterwards and had some documentations over some injuries ( a swelling on the back of his head ). And they told me that i was charged for " physical abuse and assault ".
The whole thing goes to trial and there he had 2 friends as witnesses. When the judge started to question them , they started with some story, like " well , i didn´t see it all so clearly, but i saw my friend fall " Anyway, i had some witnesses as well. Security guy , and one guy that worked that night. 2 weeks later i find out that , not only did i won , but the guy and his friends were charged for false witness. The guy that pressed charges against me , had to pay for all trial costs ( around 10 000 $ ) and his friends ended up in jail ( doing 6 months each. In sweden, a false witness does get you in jail :). So, from now on , whenever someone comes and asks for the song, if they bother me , i just call security :).

Im getting ready to start playing hip hop so i say. "Im going to play some hip hop right now, ill get back into some house later in the night"......this is where it gets good.

He starts saying. "i dont care. play a crazy drum beat hip hop trance drum beat,dark drum beat, drum beat, drum beat drum beat" so i look at the dude, and he's obviously wacked outta his mind and i say "ok bro, your starting to bother me please go away". he looks at me and starts to reach for my turntable thats playing and says "I'LL STOP THIS RECORD"...so i look at him tell him "If you touch my equipment, i will punch you in the face" at this point my woman got security and they "escorted" him away......

Playing at a bar with a crowd that varied a lot week to week, sometimes a great bunch some times a bunch of tossers. You can guest the group I put this next request into. Playing Hip hop/funk/breaks and varying style every 4 or 5 songs to try and keep crowd happy. Someone came up to me and said

"Have you got anything that isn't shit?"

What do you answer to that?

I've actually never heard of this track. I just did a google search and found a youtube video where somebody played with song with still pictures of Vernon's album cover. I kept listening and waiting to hear something familiar.

Then it came. Damn, I had no idea. All these years I thought Super DJ Dmitri & Towa Tei were playing that silly slide whistle sounds.

I'm not usually into making requests, as I know how irritating it can be.
But last weekend at this lame lounge/nightclub near my house,
DJ drops all of a sudden amidst all of that 5cent techno-remixes "Be Faithful".
We're all rushing to the floor, and I ask the DJ to turn it up.

Me: "Turn it up. Loud!"
DJ: "I can't."
Me: "Why? This is an anthem!"
DJ: "Cos there are apartments just above us, and the manangement said that the volume mustn't
go above this level."

I was just dumbstruck.
Why build a bar/nightclub to a place where you can't crank the volume up 'cos of the tenants?
I've never heard such a thing, at least not in Finland...
Caramac 12:35 PM - 20 March, 2008
It depends which came first. A similar thing happened at one bar in town. A hotel was built next to the bar. When it was finished they complained about the noise of the bar and the bar had to pay for a whole side of the club to be re-sound proofed.

IMO Be Faithful is "played out", but definately NOT a POS.
BUT if you consider yourself a DJ, then when you play a party-break or a hype song of any kind, AV8, Crooklyn Clan or not, you're supposed to play it loud, yes?

And hearing Be Faithful amidst all that 5cent eurotechno garbage (NOT Justice, Steed Lord or any Ed Banger etc.), is kinda fresh. At that moment.

Three months ago, when I was playing at this party for exchange students at our University,
the theme of the party was to play music across the globe.
So in the middle of a latino-Brazilian-set, a dude from Spain walks up to the booth.

Spaniard: Do you know how to make a party crappy?
Me: Huh?
Spaniard: To play a lot of latin music!

That was kinda odd, but I guess he wasn't fan of that genre.

I spun a college party on St. Patrick's Day and there were about 150-200 people dancing for the 2 hours I had been on.

Punk 1 comes up to me and eyes my equipment (1200s, 56 mixer, SSL, and my green vinyl for the occasion).
Punk 1: Yo man, I really dig your equipment. This is some nice stuff. But I know you got some better music cause nobody's dancing (note like I said earlier, about 150-200 people were buggin out). Play some good shit man.
All this was in a condescending tone like he knew how to rock a party, let alone touch a record.

I put on my best Ari Gold impersonation matched with a beautiful shit eating grin and told him: See those people over there? Yeah, over there. Why don't you shut the fuck up and join them?

He walked over and started to dance. Go figure.

Punk 2: Hey man, can you play Kanye all night?
Me: Yeah after you leave.

I talked to her later and found out she was asking me for some minimal Detroit techno.

Lol @ the hair scrunchy one. There are some wierdos out there for sure.

On Friday I had a bit of a 80's moment and was playing some Michael, some Luther, Alexander all that sort of stuff and this bird was like..

''what are you playing?''
''Michael Jackson''
''Why?''
''I like this song''
''What are you going to play next?''
''Probably another MJ tune. Why what would you like to here?''
''Don't know''
''Ok then''
''You ever been to Ibiza?''
''No''
''You should go''
''Ok then''

She then got in a mood with me because I wouldn't let her leave her bag in the dj booth.

We play old school hip-hop, R&B, Reggae and uptempo dance music, yet he kept requesting Free Bird,Alice in Chains and other 'not gonna get played' songs.It took him about an hour to realize that I wasn't playing none of that shit and he finally requests some Michael Jackson. When I play it they leave.

Alice in Chains, "Man in the box" is a good one to drop. It sits around 106 bpm so it can fit in a hip hop/daft punk set..

plus size spanish girl: don't you wanna see pretty girls dance

Last night, classic moment, i've given up on being nice to idiots.

so im in the middle of a house set. rockin some new funky shit when a man in his early 30's approaches the booth.

MAN: hey, whats up. just curious what your going to be mixing tonight?

ME : music.(with a HUGE ear to ear smile on my face)

MAN: no, I know that but whats your play list for the night?

ME : I dont have a playlist, i dont even know what im going to play next let alone all night. (still huge smile)

MAN: NO, I mean what kind of music are you going to be playing?

ME: well we would have saved 5 minutes if you just asked that in the first place.
(tell him what i play, and he leaves)

Ok, this technically doesn't fit in this thread, but it's related to the topic in spirit and I just have to share.

This past weekend I was hanging out at a club where I do fill-in spots from time to time. I headed home around 1am, but stopped outside the door to talk to the guy who runs the hot dog cart. We were laughing about how drunk people look very different when you're older and sober than when you're twenty-something and hip.

About that time a pretty buff guy comes out with his girl (both pretty tipsy) and they're heading to the sister club on the opposite corner. He smells the bratwurst cooking and obviously wants one...

"Oh man, I'm hungry. Hey babe, do you want a dog?"

"No. You don't need one... come on."

She drags him across the street. About halfway across the crosswalk, he turns and shouts back, "Hey! How much are those dogs?"

The girl slaps him. Kind of playfully, but it was definitely a real slap - we could hear it over the traffic and club noise from 100 feet away.

The hot dog guy shouts back, "Hey man, you just got bitch slapped!"

Without a pause, the guy shouts back...



"She's not a bitch... she's just kind of slutty!"


We lost it. One of the funniest things I've heard in a long time.

I still don't understand why **some** latin people insist on hearing latin music everywhere they go. My best friends are latin and don't do it, but I get hounded at least once a night, almost every night I DJ by someone wanting reggaeton, or something else sung completely in spanish. I wish this would stop, and those folks would realize the best place to hear a very ethnic specific genre is to go to a latin club, and not lounges, sports bars, or clubs that cater to top 40 crowds.

My response was

''yeah it is pretty fucking desolate out on that dancefloor. I don't know why the manager keeps booking me''

I then had some girl tell me she was part of a female rugby team and was going to rigby tackle me if I didn't play her song. She was actually alright so I called her bluff and didn't play her song. Lol. The girl was full of shit. I'm still walking woman!!! I'm still walking. Lol.

this past sat night:

dumb bitch: speaks to my headphone as I give her the 'hold-on' signal, I was mid-mix

me: "yes?" - as I take the headphone off my ear

dumb bitch: "Got something I can shake my ass too?"

me: "I'm fresh out of shake your ass"

dumb bitch: stands there like she didn't hear me

me: "I'm fresh out of shake your ass"

dumb bitch: stands there like she didn't hear me

me: "do you hear me?" [I lean in closer to her] "I'm fresh out of shake your ass"

mind you the floor is doing just fine....

dumb bitch: semi-stunned now, "You suck, you're, you're you're nothing but a record player."

I was playing on CDJ's, what a stupid bitch. I was standing in the hallway of the place, gather my peeps and she passed by me rolled my eyes, did the cunty "phsssh" thingy. My chic was right there, reading me & waiting for me to respond as if I could let her off the leash to go tear this bitch up... I smiled and laughed at her, and my buddy did 5 drunken "pshhs" back at her...

they probably thought it was "The Anthem" which rapes (not samples) Calabria. For some reason, I can't stand when you get people whining about merenge, salsa, raggaeton.. The Anthem or a Shakira track is the most compromise I'll give them being that they're refusing to go to a latin club.

This one time, I had guy come and request that I play some Biggie. I said sure, no problem. He then proceeds to give me $2. I'm like, no thanks - just go buy yourself a drink. He insists that I take the money, and when said "No, its cool." he leaves on one of the turntables in the booth.

15 minutes later...

I'm on my way to the bathroom and the bar so I get a friend who's there to jump in for a song or two. This guy comes back and gets mad at me while I'm about to walk out of the booth that I'm not the DJ and I just tried to steal his money...LOL!

DJNelson 1:38 PM - 9 April, 2008
I've only been tipped once, despite trying for ages to give him his money back. I had played Oasis and he was delighted, so he dropped me a tenner. I even tried giving it back to his friends but when they gave it back to him he came over to me and gave it back. The welsh, legends :D

1. "Can you play (insert a song)?" While that EXACT song is playing - dim wits. Reading this thread I see lots of people like to do that.

2.
- "Can you play (insert a song)?"
- "no I just played it like two songs ago"
- "oh I know but I was outside having a smoke and missed it."

3.
It's like 11.30, club quiet as when some idiot comes up...
"can you play (insert some big song you want to hold off on till like 1:30 when the place is hoppin) now coz I'm about to leave."

4.
Someone comes up and asks for a track song by the spawn of Satin, but to spare their feelings instead of saying, "you have shit taste" you say "sorry, forgot to bring that record with me" (they're always too stupid to notice you're djing off a laptop). THEN they say... "oh ok, will you sing it so?" Am... NO.


Last month a girl came up while I was mixing,I asked her to wait a minute. She refused to wait and started clicking at me like some dog, bitch got kicked out of the club before she knew what was going on.

Manager at the club told me...."we you see the "thugs" on the dance floor, play some rock or something they won't like so they can leave. If we play to much of what they like, they might tell their Homies to come back with them" Mind you he also said the owner told him to tell me this. I don't know who's worse. The old as biggit of an owner, or the fuckbucket of a manager who is to young and dumb to know any better. What they don't know is that they say they want to be a "Top 40" all inclusive club. They even call it "Fusion". They do have a Latin/World Music night, and now a L.G.B.T night (Lez,Gay,Bi,Tranny), but they have an issue with to many black people, that dress in "thug wear". They have no idea what is in the "Top 40", and that the 18-25 year old white kids (like the owners son who requested a Tupac song) want to hear what they think is "hardcore thuged out music". In other words, they want the DJ to make himself look lame, but trying to do crowd control with music. The owner admittedly hates "rap". Well most of the shit in the Top 40 and the radio I hate too, but it is what his guest want, along with the classic Biggy, and other club bangers. The occasional "Real HipHop" shit like Tribe, or Common fits in well too. I got know complaints from the crowd. I never had people come up and want to just shake my hand and give me props for what I played, to have the manager come and complaint to me about it. So now they have this cat spinning on what was my night (ladies night) for the L.G.B.T crowd, and they want me to come in and listen to what he plays so that I can let them know if I can and want to play that kind of music. I felt fuckin insulted. I suppose there is a "Gay" way to DJ, or there is "Gay" music I should hear and ask myself, can I put that on a deck and spin it? See this is in a area that has a conservative good old boy type mentality. But, times are changing, and they are struggling with it. They don't have a single black employee, and the only minority they have is a Hispanic bouncer. He is only there to translate and I suppose "bounce the beaners"(as the management might say). I think I am going to turn this into a hobby and start a podcast radio show, and hope to get on XM(I am close to DC) or serious. Maybe just the web with a good following, and some real world local talent showing that HipHop is alive and well, just no longer for the masses. Nothing logical or intellectual is popular these days....damn....I am getting old. I am still a better DJ than most of you young cats here that couldn't mix Kool Aid without SSL. Get some rhythm you fuckbucket bama!
DJ_ioglyphics 5:17 AM - 11 April, 2008
I posted this in "Help" because I am having trouble with tracks with in or my entire crate disappears....This might have been a better place to put it. This was a ridiculous statement made by a one of these "Microwave" DJ. (the article where I got the term "Microwave DJ" is in the recent issue of Remix, unlike what I said below)

I am noticing in the Help section of the forum that made me have to start this. Initially I was looking for help with what I put in the subject field. I found one cat asked for help about entire crates disappearing, but then went on to ask "how is it that other DJ's mix so good so fast?" It reminded me of an article I read in Remix Magazine (not the last one with Q-Tip but the one before). It was about these "Microwave DJ's". DJ's that have decided they were a DJ because they had the cash to go out and by SSL, or Traktor along with some other hardware interface that simulates decks. See if this cat was a real DJ and really knew how SSL gives a turntablist the ability to do what his is hearing, he would not be asking this stupid fuckin question. I am 37 and I started at 13 (yes 198fuckin3), long before some of you cats were born, and you are fuckin it up for the real DJ's. Try buying vinyl and spending all day and night, mixing a set long enough to rock a 4+ hour gig without labels marked with BPM or any mixers with a BPM feature of any kind and then you would know how SSL enables you to mix accurately and fast. If you had to been over and pull a 12' out of a sleeve sitting in a milk crate, you would know. What makes it easy for me, is that I can sort by BPM, so I know what songs match. Knowing the songs that "should" match well doesn't help you actually blend the track fuckbucket, you still have to have an ear for how to blend the track in cue with the one you and everyone else can hear. Yes, with HipHop/R&B/Reggaeton even fuckin country can be mixed with anything. Fast and Slow songs can be "mixed" when you know how to "mix". I will give you microwave test tube baby fucks a tip. Think of a band of musicians. The drummer keeps the tempo, and the keyboard players and everyone else knows when to come in "ON FUCKIN BEAT"! It is that simple! If you are good, you can count bars and listen to the song and know the best time to start blending the tracks. Oh and if you are real good that spot in a track called a "bridge", it's a great place to bring in the next song, so you aren't boring people do death with the entire fucking song, before you "try" to mix in the next one. These so called mixed tapes like DJ Clue, where they scream over the beginning of the track and title it "mixed tape vol bullshit" is not how we started this. It was real mixed tracks, not what a label wanted to make radio DJ(Dick Jerks) play. I am particularly pissed because this is what has been fucking up real HipHop, that is still "Alive" and well. It is underground like it was, and still progressive and positive, and sometimes yes Gangsta (nothing wrong with that).
Back to SSL though..... you can be fast as shit with SSL when you have your crates organized in a way that helps you. But, if you aren't a real DJ and you can't really mixed....learn how to mix. Stop hating and perpetuating lies and theories about "real DJs" thats right, like me, that can mix, and scratch I might add. But my issues with SSL (not you fake as DJ's) is that my fuckin tracks disappear. I know it is something I am doing wrong, but haven't found out what, not even in the instructions. "All" of my tracks are on external hard disk, and the last version never gave me this problem. I upgraded because I made the mistake of going to Vista. If you are reading "DON"T DO IT". I am a Systems Admin/Net Engineer and I have issues I could not resolve to make it stable. Vista isn't even stable yet.
I am on XP Pro, with a Dell XPS M1710 2.0 Dual Core Intel, with 2Gigs RAM. My drives are both USB. If you had this issue, and or you share the same feelings I do about these fake fucks that think they're DJ's please put it on blast below. I can't even get paid what I am worth for gigs for some of these posers. The fake ones will read this and say the obvious dumb shit to make themselves know....Can't Wait! I purposefully did not mention any names. I am betting the very idiots will join the band wagon, when they are one of the posers. Yes this also applies to House DJ's, where I think the microwave DJ's exist in greater numbers. You can't hide behind BPM Meters or yes, so other "DJ Tool" to perform your set when you spin HipHop and other genres where the BPMs are all over the place, and not just....thump....thump....thump....thump.
I know I know "enough already", and, "Damn tell us how you really feel" If no one here comments or offers help, it is because they think I am a hater. OK thats cool, but you have to look at yourself in the mirror and you know you can't mix, or cut. Get some rhythm.

DJ ST 10:16 AM - 11 April, 2008
Last night, remember I live in a city of approx. 150,000, in Finland, I had agreed to play for a second time in this event titled; "Bounce Around the World Pt. 2".
As its predecessor, which I killed with CDJ's last autumn, was a party for exchange students at our university,
where the emphasis would be on music around the world (read=not sung in English).
Nice idea, eh?

The guy who promoted the night, a student in my alumni, wanted that I'd play more R&B/Hip-Hop/"laid-back" in downstairs, while his german DJ-friend played some techno/electro/trance upstairs (where I, as I said, packed the floor last time).
He suggested before the event that the ratio of English/other languages would be 50/50,
said: "OK, I'll try, but won't guarantee it."

After some sound issues, I started.
Fifteen minutes after start:

Girl: Is this some world-music night?

Me: Yes. Didn't you see the posters? (Hard to miss, even for a blind person.)

Girl: Well, this sucks. I'm from Vantaa (equivalent to saying to an American DJ, that you're from NYC or LA, read= I'm richer and better than you), on my friends birthday, and I wanna party! Play some top40 stuff!

Me: OK, how about Low? (were on the early steps of becoming conquered by that.)

Girl: No, that's like a year old (???), I want something newer, play Rihanna's "Please Don't Stop the Music" (?!?).

Procedeed to play that in a blend, floor starts packing, then some Daft Punk, Stardust, few house tracks with Latin flavor, then Pitbull's Fuego remix.
Right after that, dancefloor half full:

Trio of Latin girls: SHAKIIIRAA! Play some SHAAAKIIRAAA!

Me: Don't have it (using search library function, showing that I really don't have it).

Trio: PLAY SOME LATIN MUSIIIIC!!!

Me: (Pointing to the speakers, in the middle of Don Omar's verse) LISTEN!

Trio: .......... (Running to the floor)

01.30
In the middle of 90's Rap/R&B set, playing Mariah's "Fantasy", Gin&Juice, California Love, French Rap, etc.

Girl: Play Basshunter's "Boten Anna"!

Me: No.

Girl: Why not? This is international party, the Swedes would like to hear that!

Me: NO! I won't play it, cos I hate it, and it's played out, and it will kill the floor.
(For those of you unfamiliar, its the Europe equivalet of Soulja Boy : Watchwww.youtube.com)

01.45

The Girl returns, with friends:

Dynamic Duo: Now listen, we paid to get in (lowly 2€), and we WANT to hear Boten Anna!
Why don't you play it?

Me: I hate it, its played out, and I wouldn't play it for a million euros!

DD are really taken back, their reaction being, like I'd just said really blasphemic.
Then they heat up, start to argue, one of them bumps the needle,SKREEEEEECH!, crowd looks at me, I point to DD, bouncers throw them out, problem solved.

At 02.00, in the middle of D&B-set, Tarantula is playing, floor on fire,
German dude comes up to me:

GD: Hi! I'm a DJ in Germany and you're very good, but you should play (not: could you play) Nothing Else Matters.

Me: If I'd have it I wouldn't play it right now.

GD: Well, play something up-beat then. (Pendulum's "Tarantula" not up-beat enough?)

At the end of the night, when I'm lugging my stuff out, I see the German DJ who played upstairs, to a crowd of 5-15, according to my girlfriend who was there three times.
He and the promoter (who, by the way is a very mediocre backpack-deskdrawer-rapper), are heading home. "Promoter" asks: "What did you do back there? Weren't supposed to play international stuff?"

I could see, that he was disappointed, but my set was pure cross-genre FIRE, and I did drop non-english tunes where ever possible.
But I talked to the ticket vendors, and we had sold some 500+ tickets, on a Thursday night.
And the drink sales must have been quite good to the club itself. We even had some customers, who were a part of the start-up crew of a huge cruise ship, really enjoyed themselves.
One of them even tipped me,when I dropped Pitbull's "Get Freaky".

I'm just tired of all these jealous haters, wannabe DJs and dumb douches who really believe that every motherfucking request they make will get played INSTANTLY, just because they paid to get in.

I suppose these same dimwits go to Avril's gigs and ask her to play some Beatles and Slayer?
Caramac 10:39 AM - 11 April, 2008
^^ Lol Bruv. SOunds like you had a very testing night.

I just remebered one stupid comment from that. This girl looked like Avril Lavigne from memory.

Anyway I'm packing up at the end of the night and this Avril Lavigne lookalike comes up to me and starts talking to me saying she enjoyed my set etc, I'm like cool. Then...

AL - Have you heard of (insert some random mix CD)
Me - Nah is it good? (couldn't care less if it was or not but felt like being polite)
AL - Yeah it is (Stumbles on spot old frunk arse)
Me - Cool. I'll try and check it out
AL - You should he does this mix with (random tune) and (random tune)
Me - Really? That sounds cool.
AL - Yeah it is. You know what?
Me - Nah What?
AL - If you did that same mix here the crowd would love it.
Me - You think?
AL - Yeah. He mixes it for like half a minute and then bam in comes the bass and the place would go nuts.
Me - Yeah I'm going to try that next week. You back next week?
AL - Maybe. I don't know.
Me - Ok see you if you are (continues packing)

This was a while ago so I can't remember what the dj was or what tunes he mixed on this magical cd but the conversation was priceless. Lol.
DJ 2GooD 11:52 AM - 11 April, 2008
ok i got a one for ya...
started my new spot at the club dj`d for about 6 hours everything went ok, guy comes upto me at the end while i`m putting my stuff away and says
"hey! you the dj huh your pretty shit mate to be fair. are you retarded? you look it"
I was like WTF?!? he started getting rowdy so i just ignored him and carried on packing away, a couple of guys came over and dragged him away saying "come on mate lets go yeah, just leave it" turns out he was the DJ i replaced and got sacked for stealing drinks and he won`t be bothering me again as he is now barred! still keep an eye out for him after gigs incase he fancies a fight or something
Caramac 1:08 PM - 11 April, 2008
^^^ Lol.
JimboJones 3:16 PM - 11 April, 2008

That's fucking hilarious, not that it was a pisser for you, but that he's blatantly looking for a fight. What a dick

DJ Young Herrera 5:21 PM - 11 April, 2008
Recently, I was getting bothered by a really drunk guy who kept trying to reach over my decks to tap me to try and tell me his request. The "booth" is on the edge of the dance floor and there is no barrier between it and the crowd. And its floor level. He tried three times and each time i swiftly grabbed his arm and lifted it high so he wouldn't hit the tone arm.

He obviously didn't like it and started yelling, I couldn't hear him because the system was quite loud and I had my headphones.

When he noticed I was ignoring him he stumbled around the entrance of the booth and pushed me from the side. As soon as i regained my balance, I stomp kicked him and he fell over and some people I knew kinda held him down. The place started to get a little nuts and fearing a riot, I switched the input on my 57sl over to the control signal to make everyone shut up.

Then I yelled at the bouncer to do his god damn job and he came over and took care of the guy. I was pretty pumped up at that point and had to calm down. Either way, I didn't like it and it killed the mood.
DJ-A 5:36 PM - 11 April, 2008

DJ ST 9:35 AM - 12 April, 2008
^Yes, there are Latin people in Finland. And this was a party for exchange students...

Boten Anna is the newborn of the "Most Horrific Tunes Ever"-family.
I mean its so horrific, that its not even corny enough, that'll I'd listen to it,
let alone play it. Lots of Eurodance, especially from the 90's is bad, but corny and stupid enough to get played as "a novelty", if you know what I mean. Like Snap "I Got The Power",
Scooter "Fire" and other songs that were "cool" when you were 10-15 years old.

And yes, Scandinavia and Germany are notable in a way that we have produced lots of bubblegum-poppy-so-catchy-that-they-haunt-you -pop songs. Anyone remembers E-Type?
"Angels Crying" anyone?Watchwww.youtube.com
Or Ice MC? Watchwww.youtube.com

And all you, who are from USA or UK, now you can join the Basshunter-family, by playing this:
Watchwww.youtube.com
Or check out the guy's "talent":
Watchwww.youtube.com

You see a pattern emerging?
And I think that the comparison to T-Pain is unfair. Teddy Penderazdoun is able to sing, rap and produce, and although he is on everyone's track, he has talent, unlike this douche with FruityLoops.

BUT. Back to topic. This happened a loooong ago, to another Finnish DJ, who has already retired. He was playing rap, KRS, Public Enemy etc at a club. This one guy walks to him, asks if he has a record by this Finnish Rock band.

The DJ says: "Yeah", then picks up the vinyl from his crate and breaks it in half.
Then he asks: "Which half do you want?"

Classic.

I got inspired by that at the end of last year. When I was DJing for my old High School's party (I'm not THAT old, my lil' sister is a senior, and C.R.E.A.M.=150€ for a 4 hour set), they asked for Umbrella. I played it for the chorus, over half of the crowd moaning, other half cheering slightly. At the end of the chorus, I dragged the needle across the record, then smashed it on the side of the table.

People stared amazed for a second, then more cheers.

Then I played the phrase: "Maaan, that was PLAYED OUT! Get out of here with that trash!"
Then scratching into "Like I Love You" (I know its played out too, but beats Umbrella 24/7/365) and they went nuts.

i usually respond to any requests for rnb and hiphop (especially commercial mainstream b/s) by telling whoevers requesting it to repeat the following sentence several times in order for me to consider playing it:

"RnB and Hip/Hop is the lowest form of music known to man"

i figure just making them repeat it a few times i might be programming their subconscious or something

Swedish. The songs are in Swedish. Boten Anna stands for Bot Anna.
And since IRC isnät prolly as popular in rest of the Europe, as it is in the rest of the world, they had to come up with new topic/lyrics.

And yes, Scandinavian women are generally hot. DUH!

DJ jSon was on the tables and these two chicks come up to him demanding that he played "boots with the fur and apple bottom jeans" LOL. he said : "its too early". They come back 2 minutes later and demanded it again asking for "boots with the fur". And they continue to harass him.

Then for the 10th time they come back and this time they come up to me. Im sitting on the side of the DJ booth checking my email and chatting with the people in Global DJ Sessions on stickam and they demand that I play it "now". I look up at them and said "im sorry did you say something"

chick: "I want you to play boots with the fur NOW, i've been waiting all night."

me: "who are you talking to, me or Him *points to jSon".

chicks: "you, you fucking dumb ass".

Me: "Bitch look where I am, does it fucking look like Im in the damn DJ booth? Whos the 'fucking dumb ass' now? Fuck off".

I would have scratched in a-a-a-a-apple-apple-a-a-a-apple-----jeans----f-f-f-f-rrrrrrrrrr

and looked right at them with the dont come up here again, theres your song, maybe even flipped them off

Given how many people on this board have studio production capabilities, I think we should write a song called "Apple Bottom Jeans (Boots With The Fur)." It should sound like a cross between Liberace and Sinatra. Announce and point out who requested it, play 15 seconds, then go back to your regularly scheduled program.

Last night...

Me - ya, think I've heard of them
Girl - will you play that song they have?
Me - which one?
Girl - if you call me Betty.

then she started singing it with the lyrics all mashed around. well it was funny at the time...



First, it's Paul Simon
And last, it's "You can call me Al"

And I can call you a dumb shit!

Been a while since the crowds have picked up new ways to annoy me, but...

Got the "It's my birthday, play me a song"
Me: Yeah, what you after?
Her: Something I can dance too
Me: Like?
Her: Track 15 of dance now 2000
Me: Nah, I need artist and song names
Her: How about if me and my friend hook up (Friend was bangin'!)
Me: How bout me and your friend hook up, nah, I need artists and names sweetheart
Her: We will both go home with you tonight and take turns sucking your c*%k if you play dance now 2000 track 15 next
me: heard it before mate, are you retarded, I need artist and song names
Her OK (Walks away)

10 mins later.
Her: here is dance now 2000, play track 15 and we will both go home with you tonight. Here's my cellphone (Not her number, her whole phone) as insurance.

Figured this would be a cool story even if I got no play. I mean I had to tell her 3 times I needed the song name. And she tried several tricks to get it. So I play her song on the spare CDJ, DJ Sammy heaven or something along those lines. Didn't see her or her hot friend for the rest of the night. At the end of the night gave the phone to the manager thinking she would come in and claim it the next day. Wrote it off as another chick trying to trick me into playing her song.

Bar manager called me about 3 in the afternoon, "Dude, thank fuck you didn't go home with the chick that left her phone with you. It rang not long ago, it was the clinic, her results are in, They wouldn't tell me the results, I'm only guessing, but it's safe to say the results arn't good".

So, i asked him to give a list of songs he was trying to play. I'm pretty sure i have them. As of now...... I'm still waiting on that list. These fuckin IPOD request be killin me.

This last Thursday during my 80's night.

Girl: I thought this was 80's night...
Me: It is, what's up?
Girl: Then why are you playing "Brass Monkey?"
Me: HAHAHAHA! Are you serious?
Dumb Girl: This is NOT 80's music.
Me: Uh, yeah it is. 1986 if i'm not mistaken.
Dumb Bitch: No it's not, I know, could you play some real 80's stuff like Ace Of Base or maybe Deee-Lite?
Me: Again, are you serious?
Stupid Slut: What?
Me: Those are 90's acts. Next time you go to an 80's night Google the top 200 80's artists and songs before you make yourself look dumb again.

Girl: I thought this was 80's night...
Me: Thats why i'm playing songs from the 80's...
Girl: Then why are you playing "Brass Monkey?"

Last Friday night at the gig.... I actually got a lot of stupid requests that night but I'll just list this one..*During uptempo Hip Hop/House set*

Older Lady: "Hi, my friend over there say's she's gonna leave if you don't play either Prince, Kiss, or Abba"

Me: "Oh really, where is your friend?"

Lady: "She's right over there" *pointing to the bar at gal friend sitting smiling waving*

Me: "Make sure you tell her goodbye for me"

Even she thought that was funny...

^^^Sweet! i love those slams!

this weekend i had the left side of my headphones on, one hand on vinyl, the other on the fader... playing a transition song (one of the ones you play for 30 seconds tops)

Asian dude with a thick accent comes up to me. (i think some asian people talk soooo quiet, i wonder how they can even talk to eachother in clubs)

so i notice his mouth was moving a little bit so i give him the one second finger... looks pissed, keeps talking,

me: points to me ear, I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!! GIVE ME A SECOND!!!

dude:repeats his request for the 10th time

me: A SECOND, WAIT A FUCKIN SECOND

dude: repeats his request again.

me: shut off the music, WTF DO YOU WANT, I CAN HEAR YOU NOW.

dude: "your love" by the outfield

me: -k- thanks (headphones back on)

dude: listed off 10 other slower songs from the 80's (that I would picture a drunk chick requesting)

cattle prod <ZAP> that would have been nice

Yesterday night bunch of teens in front dancing infront of the booth

chick- hey can you put lollipop?
me- Ok ill put it on later
chick- no put it now
me- why?
chick- cuz i love that song, oh and dont play the original do a remix with the
"chi gi gi ya"(pointed at the turntables and move her hands as if she was scratching while making the scratching sound)(then walk off)
me- (stare at her ass and boobies the whole time)
Dj Nicholas 8:30 PM - 17 May, 2008
Here's a story for you all, a couple weeks ago I had 2 girls come up to me and requested lollipop around 1:30. The lounge I play at is mostly uptempo stuff (commercial house, top 40, i usually dont go into the 95bpm and lower range). So I said ok and being that I was at around 130 bpm I figured id play one of the lollipop remixes that I had. Apparently that wasnt good enough because one of the girls came up to me 5 minutes later:
Her-"can you play lollipop?"
Me-"yeah I just played it."
Her-"no, you played the remix, I want to hear the original."
Me-"well I already played it"
So they proceeded to ask why I dont repeat songs and such, went on to ask "if the owner said its ok to play it then can you?" which I replied that they can ask him but I wont play it anyway (calling her bluff). Whether or not they asked him they came up and told me, "he said that if you dont play it your not getting paid." In which I immediately said back to them, "well it looks like im playing for free tonight."
So the night ends and the owner comes up to me and gives me a look like hes sorry I had to deal with such bullshit. The girl comes up AGAIN and asks me the SAME questions. After I tell her to go in her car and turn on the radio, she'll find that song on every station, she pulls a 180 and says the request was actually for her friend and not her, she doesnt even like the song. WTF? Proceeds then to apologize and try and pull me in for a kiss in front of my girlfriend (by the way I didnt). Crazy drunk women.

When I finally played it, I got on the mic and I said, "I'd like to thank all the people who came up here and requested this song over and over again...I'm such an incompetant DJ taht had you guys not told me, I would never have thought to play it. Thanks to you for making me job easy!

At a gig last Friday night, I had way, way too many people yapping at me. It was a light gig at an art gallery and everybody that came in just had to know everything about either a) Serato ScratchLIVE and the whole freaky laptop-turntable thingy, b) How I've been doing, in great detail, c) How they've been doing in excruciating detail, or d) am I the person that gives them the free gift as part of the "gallery hop' in the city that evening.

I'm quick mixing people. 45 seconds per song give or take. Please keep your monologues to under 20 minutes while I'm mixing. I'm not even looking at you.

It's not really along the lines of the usual in this thread, but I had to share it.
Playing a lil Bmore, not a huge floor, but it's only 11ish...

Young girl, no older than 19 I swear, walks up to the side of the booth, I look over, hold up my finger, "Just a min" she smiles and says "take your time, no rush" Drop my next track in...

Me: What can I do for you?
Her: Hi, I know you get this all night, and I'm sure you get sick of it, but is there any chance you could squeeze a request in at some point before close.
Me: Yea sure, If I have it and can mix my way round to it, What are you after?
Her: It's a long shot, and I don't actually know that name of the song, but I do know it's by Digable Planets, I think it's called Cool like that? Me and some of the girls were talking earlier and we haven't heard it for years
Me: Rebirth of Slick, Digable Planets, YEAH. HELL YEAH
Her: You know it, Great! If you can possibly fit that in sometime tonight me and that table over there will be most thankful. I can't garentee all of us will dance, but we would love to hear it.

I break outta mixing and drop it in next. Most of the table get up and dance, Afterwards I throw in Let's get naked - HPM, and Mr wendel and the same girl comes up to the booth. Here we go, I think, I'm gonna get bombarded with requests now that I played 1.

Her: Thankyou so much, this is another song we were talking about earler (Talking bout Highland Place Mobsters), All the girls at our table would like to buy you a drink, what do you drink?
Me: Oh, Cheers, thanks, A Pure Blonde would be great.

She disapears and comes back 5mins later with 4 Beers for me.

Me: Woah, thanks, you didn't have to get me 4
Her: Nah I said all the girls at our table wanted to buy you a drink, there is 4 of us over there. And you really made our night.

Rest of the night I dropped some more New Jack swing type stuff, played KRS-1 Get Wrecked, Ultramagnetic MCs - Give the Drummer some etc. At the end of the night as I made last call, the same girl comes up again.

Her: Hey, thanks for the great night, awesome music, What was your name?
Me: SloDeck, but Dave is fine.
Her: Cool, Thanks SloDeck. Great Job.

I know it's not 1 of the most retarded convosations in here, but it was cool to have someone a) thank me for my job, b) not be a total muppet, c) be into some cool music. Makes all the stupids seem worth it.

definately an attention grabber though when you have a hott chick wrap her arms around you and talk nicely in your ear...

last week i was giggin and i see someone out of the corner of my eye... I assume its a chick because they are just standing there, and about 8 inches to my left and in back of me a little.

I turn (hoping to see boobs... and see a dude... not cool... he says "hey man, can you play something chill like some reggae.

dont people know there are invisable zones around people and those zones determine an appropiate distance to be away from someone. dudes can get 4-5 feet away from me if i'm not paying attention and i'll be cool with it...

unless you are a hott chick dont get any closer without warning and still 8 inches is way to close!

Reminds me of the "Oh me and some friends had a band when we were in high school, used to play alot of school dances. Lotsa blues, you like the blues?" Which turns into what apears to be a job interview for RadioShack or stereo depo sales "I see this is a direct drive turntable... (10 mins later) .. Shure bros made some good cartridges, they still in business? So you think a mac is better than a normal PC? your using a mac?

Soo, ex of mine gives me a call last week, She's always worked in hospo, has just changed jobs working a different venue, They are looking for a DJ, she mentioned she knew me, and that I might know someone if I can't help out myself. Frankly all they are going to get is a reheated iPod for what they are offering. So this week she calls and asks me if I can teach her how to work VDJ because she's managed to talk herself up and thinks she can do the job with a laptop and a numark mixer. Oh and she asked me if she can "Come over with some blank CD's some time"...

"What? WTF? 10Mill sperm and your the one that made it? I actually thought better of you than this, you just unknowingly devalued what I do to make ends meet twofold. You undercut to an alarming rate, and then assumed any mofo with the music could step up and do the job, Thus devaluing me in 2 ways, so $50 a night and any mofo could do the job? That's ironic, cus when we were together your skills were only worth 50bux a night and anyone could do that job too"

I'm temped to turn up on her first night "Spinning" just to help stress her out, is that childish? meh, I prolly won't I will be busy doing my own gig but the thought of it does make me smile

I hate it when the i'm ignoring you look doesnt work and you have to do the sorry i can't hear you line... and it doesnt work either...
DJ/MC/CEO 7:02 AM - 28 May, 2008
Alright here it goes...

Was DJing an afterball one night and these boosed school girls kept hassling me to play a track:

Girls: Can you play Get Low - Lil Jon?
Me: Sure, I'll cut it in when I can, they'll love it!
Girls: They'll love it!
Me: I just said that
Girls They'll really love it!
Me: Look forward to when i play it then!
Girls: They'll really really love it!

*At this point i get scared so i politely continue DJing*

Girls: Are you gunna play it?
Me: Sure am, as soon as I find an entry to do it justice
Girls: WILL YOU JUST PHUKKIN PLAY IT!!! (Out of no where!!!)
Me: Woah! Chill! If you scream at me I wont play it
Girls: PHUK YOUR A SHIT DJ! PHUK YOU!

*Just as she says this the song is fading, instinctivly i pick up the mic*

Me: Ya'll having a good time!?
Crowd: HELL YEAAAAAH!
Me: I cant hear you!
Crowd HELL YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH
Me: Cos these bitches just said im a shit DJ
Crowd: Booooooooooooooo...
Me: Do you agree?
Crowd: No Way!
Me: Whose your favourite?
Crowd Hepa! Hepa! Hepa! Hepa! Hepa! (Nickname)

*Scratch in Joe Buddens banger "Fire"*

Crowd to gilrs: Theres some hoes in this house! Theres some hoes in this house!

this might not belong in this thread cuz this happened after the gig but dj/mc/ceo's story kinda reminded me of this.

so i did this house party over the weekend (been ages since i did one) and it's in overtime. at this time, guys are getting to be obnoxious drunks and such and i'm already nearing the time where i have to cut off the music or the girl that's having the party would be past her budget. i announce last song and all the drunks start harassing me, sayin "one more" and all that ish. and u know even if u play that "one more" song, they ask again for "one more"...it never ends..

anyways, i finally cut the music after the song and guys are comin up and harassing me for one more. i keep sayin that it's done and they're all like, "aah, you suck" and "dj clueless" and such. the girl that's payin me makes her way thru the arrogant crowd and asks how much will she owe if i go another half hour (i haven't been paid yet). i tell her it would be $500. one of the main guys grumbling is next to her and hears that and is like, "ooh...shit..." and quiets down. she says, "ok. nevermind then. we'll end it here."

dude's face and reaction was priceless.

was playing a warmup techno set..quite minimal mellow stuff at the start of a night.

What i thought was said -"do you have anything harder??"...i said "dont worry ittl get more harder/banging-er as the night progresses and more folks hit the dancefloor"

reply- "not harder, do you have anything BETTER"....lol
room213 3:40 AM - 30 May, 2008
I've had that one too "do you have anything better" I normally reply with " nope, everything I have is shitty, hope you have a good night" ;)
DJ/MC/CEO 6:49 AM - 30 May, 2008
Q: Do you have anything better?
A: Do you!?

One person who works at our local Mcdonalds hassled me one night so I went to his work and done the same - he understod in the end.

Does any one else get annoyed when people request songs and they say the wrong name?

E.g: Can you play Apple Bottom Jeans?

For some reason it fucks me off everytime. Am I just being snotty? Please tell me others feel the same at times lol

How about ppl asking for your number so they can come around and you teach them how to DJ?

Since U Been Gone" topped several U.S. Billboard charts, including the Pop 100, Hot Dance Airplay and the Mainstream Top 40. It peaked at number two on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and stayed in the top ten for 20 weeks, in the top forty for 43 weeks and on the chart for forty-six weeks...

...The Jason Nevins "Since U Been Gone" remixes have sold over 180,000 digital downloads...

Don't forget the DJ Earworm mash-up "Since U Been Gahan" Kelly VS Depeche Mode actually ended up with some airplay!

On Topic: Last night...

Three girls requested the same song, 5 TIMES! In 1/2 an hour...it's 80's night, and they request Yeah by Usher...wow...I wish I had a gun.
skinnyguy 2:21 AM - 31 May, 2008
i bet those 3 girls are all friends...

yeah, they were, just stupid...
DJ/MC/CEO 9:52 AM - 1 June, 2008
I Djd a club lastnight and this girl thought she had some sort of power over me cos she knows my friend.

I told her "If you request a song more than 5 times I won't play it". If I kept to it she wouldve done away with %80 of that chart bullshit due to her consistent nagging.

I then had her thrown out.

Then played all the songs in a row as she was forced to listen from outdoors.

Wasn't there to fuck around that night.

guy: "it seems like you dont play this type of music" (i guess because i was hispanic,since thats the way i felt he ask me)
Me:what??i specialize in this type of music (laugh a little/suprise he told me that)

I HATE hearing ppl requesting Cumbias!!!

Yes I'm hispanic, but I just don't like playing it. I don't listen to it so I will not play it. Sure when you do a mobile gig it's all about what the ppl want to here, but when I book then I make sure I let the person know I don't play cumbias or reggaton.

not to be racist or anything, but thats why i rather do mexican party's,like 15's and weddings..they show me a bunch of love and no matter what song (anything dance-able or thats hot) they would jam to it. Ive had other latin gigs that dont compare to a mexican gig

I hate when another "so he said dj" requests something that (my dougie) doesn't fit with the music that is being played (planet 808 owner of a lonely heart) and then asks if i can drop it after the next song... ARE YOU SERIOUS! I just got into the 125-130 range... dumbass...

i get that a lot, they ask me for some country then lollipop come on. I understand a little since they have no idea how a DJ runs, they think we are just a jukebox/ipod. Im a DJ that mixes and keeps a steady flow (like i said before everything is dance-able) just because its new or havent herd it yet doesnt mean you cant dance to it. It makes me want to stop the music and explain in detailed how a DJ runs.

I hate when people assume you don't know a style of music. I was rocking the beginning of a New Jack Swing set and this dude was giving me a thizz face saying how I "don't know any of this music" and that I'm too young to understand. So I rocked it out some more and he just kept hating. Maybe all the ladies in the club shut him down prior?
DJ Stuart (AR) 8:09 AM - 6 June, 2008
Church is old as fu*k. Its 160 BPM, you can mix it with something around 80 BPM. Just remember that the outro bars will we divided in half or the other way around.
Or...you can mix it with Outkast "Hey ya" or "B.O.B."

Cheerio.
Caramac 10:12 AM - 6 June, 2008
Lol. I'm not the biggest Outkast fan. I only really fuck with their first album. Although that Royal Flush tune with Raekwon is growing on me.

But really that Church tune is just too fast. I know I can mix it with tunes on the half BPM scale but I'm not really into that either. It's one of those songs geared to be mixed in with pop music as opposed to an rnb set.

That and I don't like it either.

Lol. I'm getting old I guess. I'm waiting for the 90bpm faze to come back round again.
DJ Young Herrera 1:43 PM - 6 June, 2008

If you got a real ghetto crowd or even ghetto-wannabe crowd that knows how to bounce, low BPM shit can get 'em hype. Otherwise, even when they beg for that shit, it'll bring the energy level down.

I HATE "Party Like a Rockstar"....

(from years back - all below 90 BPM (if I remember right) - but Hype)

It's Going Down - Yung Joc
Snap Your Fingers - Lil Jon
Walk It Out - DJ Unk
White Tee or I Think they Like Me - Dem Fanchise Boyz
Damn - Youngbloodz

even something like Hood Nigga by Gorilla Zoe

Soo i was playing a "Famalia Party" in the states for this Italian Culture Club, I had little kids, teens, and older women coming up to me asking to play "Cupid Shuffle". Soo im like sure why not. the only version i have is with the Rap in it. Soo i put it on and like a min and half into it some older guy comes up to me and calls me over, also the dance floor is packed with all the little kids in the place and parents all doing the dance or getting taught it.

Me: Can i help you sir
O G: What is this Song
Me: The Cupid Suffle
O G: Why are you playing it
Me: I hade like 10 people request it
O G: No one Requested it
Me: YA, those 5 little girls came up to me each requesting it (as there dancing to it)
O G: I don't belive you no one wants to hear this shit
Me: Sorry sir i just play what they wanted
OG: NO ONE WANTS TO HERE THIS!

And he walks away....... Sooo i got pissed and played Solja Boy after, though i hate that song some 5year old kid requested it, made him happy and the old guy more pissed

i hate people like that... thinks that by being an asshole and using reverse phycology that he can get his way, just like when he was raising his kids (that are now in prison)

It's like yeah dude you're right, they don't want to hear this song... i don't know what i was thinking. i better go turn it off right now, and sorry about the 30 seconds of silence, but i dont want to contaminate my hard drive any longer, so i'm going to delete it too. please explain that to the bride for me.

I reply "yes"

she says, "I thought you'd have it... some dude told me that you only have songs that the bride gave you..."

hmmmmm... what an idiot...
Caramac 2:24 PM - 9 June, 2008
Lol.

I had a bit of a moment with one of the regulars on Friday at my residency. Every weekend Fri and Sat she comes and asks for the same tunes in the same order which I play because they're regular tunes that you would play anyway.

Well on Friday I said I'll see what I can do. I was in one of those bored of hearing the same song week in week out moods and decided to play similar stuff just a bit more rarer mixed up with the classics etc. All night she kept hassling me. I'm like aren't you bored of these songs cause I am. She was like no and kept running off and boucing around like a 3 year old.

This is one of those crowds where you literally stick to the script.

On the plus side I've been playing this one Collie Budd tune week in and out. During my 10 min pop reggae set some local asked for the Mamacita tune. I was kind of chuffed with that.
djmassi 2:26 PM - 9 June, 2008
I got berated by a chick this weekend for about an hour for not having or playing Vanessa Carlton - White Houses in the club....she actually called it "The Bomb"......that one might have to take the cake for me over the last year, although the following night when some girl came up and asked me to shout out her friends birthday. How she did it was ask me to shout out Kara's birthday, I replied, Kara, no problem, she then replied.....Kara......K - A - R - A....she spelled it out for me. What does it matter how the F$%* it's spelled!

I personally hate when people aske me to say " Hey can [insert name]'s party go to the door everyone is ready to leave.. or hey can you announce that [insert name]'s party is leaving... Um NO!



OR when people [yes, they do] want me to announce that they lost their phone or purse.. What do you want me to do?...... have a search party for your dumb ass!

^^^You'll love this one then.... I did a gig a few months ago.. there were 2 things going on that night. one side of the room was a band, and I was on the other side of the room, so after they were done i started to play... about 6 feet to my left was the sound booth.

so the promoted for the band comes over to me and asks for a mic... i say sorry man, dont have one...

he points to the sound booth and says whats that... i pause and look at him like he's stupid and say, a mic

he says well i asked if you have a mic

i say yeah i head ya... and i said no... that's not my mic.

he says well is it on

i give him a really stupid look and say dude, how the hell am i suppose to know it's not mine!

(if you can't tell i dont like this dude)

he says can you check

so i get the mic, turn the music down and say

onnnnne... twoooooooooooooo
dude has an anowwwwwwnce ----- ment

then i turn it half way down and give him the mic

mics and random people=bad idea^^

On Saturday I got these two chicks wanting to hear lollipop by aqua?
Is that the bad rock cover song of the bad rap song?
and swing by Savage?
And then wanted to hear tootsie roll, in a resturant. MMMMM...NO.

end of the night last friday ... was playing finer things as the last song. chic comes up ... can you play britney?! was annoyed, but my homie who was dj'ing with me asks the girl for $$ up front. gave me a 20 ... so got on the mic, says next song is the last song, and voila, played about one minute of it.

dj_penguin 8:44 PM - 29 June, 2008
I got a whole new level of ridiculous request on Friday. I was getting towards the end of my set, people had been rocking out the whole time, things were generally going well. The promoter is standing in the booth next to my right shoulder, and some random dude walks up to the right of him. Random Dude says something to the promoter, and the promoter repeats it to me. I didn't really hear it because it was loud, so I assumed it was just another person coming up to tell me they were enjoying the tunes (there had been a number of people coming up to the booth throughout my set to say that sort of thing), so I absent-mindedly said "thanks" or something along those lines.

Then the promoter said "That's not what he said. He said he just wants to touch you."

Now I'm sure many a rock star has encountered this, and most of them probably have stock responses all ready to go, but I'm kind of freaked out by this request, and completely unprepared for it. I thought about it for a second while staring at the decks and trying to figure out what to do.

Finally, I decide on a course of action. I kind of hide behind the promoter and stick my hand out so Random Freaky Dude can slap me five. He does, and then I go back to mixing. I put on my last track, and then it's the promoter's turn to play, so I pick up one of my CVs to put it away, and then I notice Random Freaky Dude is still standing next to the promoter, so I'm going to have to walk past him in order to put the CV away. As soon as I start walking past him, he sticks his hand out for another "five." I slap him five again, put the CV away, then turn to go back and get my other CV.

Random Freaky Dude is just standing there, sweaty, shirtless, wearing sunglasses, and grinning real big. He puts his hands out wide like he's hoping for a hug.

Shit!

I really don't want a hug from Freaky Dude. Thinking quickly, I grab a business card out of my pocket and hand it to him. He holds it in both hands, stares at it like it's a million dollar bill, and just kind of wanders off basking in the awesomeness of his new prize.


Moral of the story: Always carry your business cards. You never know when they'll come in handy.

djgeeth 4:51 AM - 30 June, 2008
Forget the exact conversation but this is the gist of it;


Girl comes in my booth pretty early, like 12:30, and I can tell she is going to be a pain in the ass. She says

"Play Cupid Shuffle". I say ok and dont pay attention to her (wasnt cute)

"Play it next".... I say, no, the floor is packed, and I want to wait a little bit so I dont get a barrage of people who just walk in the club and miss it. I have to play country/rock/line dance songs every once in a while so I generally save the cupid shuffle type shit for after those.

"No, you dont know what you're doing, play it next, then follow it up by a good rap song" (as the floor was packed and I was playing some hiphop)


The rest of her convo to me was basically her telling me how I dont know how to do my job at all, and she was going to teach me by telling me what to play and when to play it. After about 30 seconds of this I said sure Ill play it next, locked the door, then made sure not to play her damn song all night long.



I HATE dumb f*cking customers who try to tell me how to do a job im good at.

frost-9 7:01 AM - 30 June, 2008
pair of random drunk girls start talking to me last friday.. saying how much they love the music, then one of them starts staring at my laptop and says "Cool DJ setup you have here... that thing is crazy.. what is it? can I scratch? Is this like DJ'S 'R Us?"
kieranj007 9:21 AM - 30 June, 2008
I had this girl come up to me when i was MIXING and she kept talking blah blah blah, so i said hold on 1 minute i just need to get this song on. Then she said "Im one of the top Djs from up north so i no what your doing" (shittest town in the country and she said it with the most arrogant attitude). So i replied by saying, "well you must be amazing, because if you knew what i was doing you wouldnt be trying to speak".

I then got the next song in and asked what she wanted. She replied saying "could you please apple bottom jeans"? At that point i snapped and said "jump in your car and put im the radio, im sure they will play LOW!"

How dumb are some people, especially a "top dj"
Caramac 9:49 AM - 30 June, 2008
Lol Penguin. My saturday night was pretty similar to yours.

I'm warming up. It's 10pm and the cheap people are in. You know the ones who get to the club early so they don't have to pay. Well my motto is if you don't pay to get in you can hear something new. Lol. Anyway I'm bubbling I got some dwele, slum village, d angelo, ne yo etc. You know the easy going tunes. Nothing too hype. I'm building the pace up.

This girl comes up after 2 songs and says play Flo Rida. I'm like no worries. I'll play it when it gets a bit more packed. Probably an hour or so. But if there is anything else you want I can drop that now. She starts bawling how she wants to hear it now. She's then like who's this? I;m like Chris Brown. I don't know this one. Play me something I know. Sensing she's going to be like this all night I try and dead the conversation with. If you don't know this song, you're probably not going to know any of the other ones I play. But sit back relax you might here something you might like.

She goes off in a huff. Bare in mind I do this week in week out and the cheap regulars are cool. They come and ask what I'm playing or just relax till midnight when the rest of the punters turn up.

2 songs later and I'm working up to some J Lo, Cool J etc and the Bar Manager comes up and says the group of girls in the corner have complained that I'm putting them to sleep. I'm like wow. Oh I've also got the house dj with me at this point as his room opens at 12. He's laughing, she's trying not to laugh so the bollocking looks genuine and I'm putting on my pretend I'm sorry I'll change up right away massa face. Lol.

2 songs later there are now 5 of them infront and to the side of the booth. The fuck are they gremlins or something. Where did all these others come from. I think they have a pincher manouvre going on. One's asking about the vinyl. The others fluttering her eyelids and another 2 are trying to get into the dj booth. The house dj is about as helpful as a bucket with a hole in it. He thinks its hilarious. I then hear how they only come out every 6 months and the well known stinger line. We're leaving in 30 mins play our song now. Luckily one of the female bouncers comes to my rescue and tells them to leave me alone. The other dj keeps laughing and I tell him I'm sending them to his room when it opens. He stops laughing and I start laughing. Lol.

Then a group of GILFS come in. One of them walks straight up to me and says something. I don't really hear her for 3 reasons. She's got the body of a stacked mid 20's woman. Thick thighs nice breasts, big bum. She's close to about 70 and she has bright pink make up all over her teeth. Add to that she's drunk as fuck and slurring her words all over the place. I make out Jay Z, Hen Party and People Not Dancing. I put on Sunshine and send her packing.

For the next hour these two parties rotate and attack the booth from all angles asking for songs. I'm trying to keep my cool. Smiling, being polite promising them they will hear there songs just not while it's still empty.

One of the Guildford crew comes up and asks for some rare groove. I'm like cool. I can play that but I'll play it near the end. Why? Because no offense love but most people here are 20 ish. If I start busting out some mantronix and loose ends I could lose the floor. She's like so. She then just stands there for about 20 mins. No lie. I put on Foxy's Get You Home tonight as a compromise and she goes off and starts dancing really badly with this tall skinny 18 year old.

As the club starts to pack out a little the other room opens and the young come out twice a year crew go into the other room. Thank fuck. 2 mins later I see one of them in an arm lock being escorted out. The others walk past tell me I'm a shit dj and fuck this club. Lol. Some of the regulars look at me and ask what I've done. Fucked if I know. Lol.

Then the thick gilf comes up to me. I'm bubbling now people are moving and the party has started. Come on man. Play something topical. WTF. Lol. I'm like ok. Give her the 2 thumbs up and smile and carry on as normal.

10 mins later her mate is back. The one wanting the rare groove and asks for some earth wind and fire. I'm like ok but later. She then asks if she's annoying me. I tell her yes a little. She then says you're a shit dj and that's why I'm annoying you. The boucher laughs then tells her to move on.

And the night pretty much continues like this up untill 2am.

I was playing a brand new Kid Sister track and a girl comes up to me and says, "Can you play something more recent?!"
Caramac 7:46 AM - 2 July, 2008
I had a funny comment last night. It wasn't really a conversation because the woman was drunk and I couldn't get a word in. I was dropping a little rare groove not really quick mixing just 2 verses and done. She comes up wine on her breath and a strong Bajan accent and tells me amongst other things.

''Young Boy. Tunes is like women. You can't (does this scratch noise and air scratches) and then cut it and done. You have to learn to let the music play.''

This was funny. The other 40 times she came up to say something were more annoying.

DJ Nuxx 6:43 PM - 3 July, 2008
all made by the same person. my response in my head in parentheses.

1. "Oh... you use SERATO?! I'm a house DJ and I use CDJs"
(Great, good for you biatch.. you want a cookie?)

2. "Can you play some Kaskade?"
(um, yeah.. it'll go great with Lil Jon and Paul Wall. Hold on.)

3. "Let me mix in the next song. Please? Come on let me jump in and throw on some good dirty house! Don't worry I'm a DJ from Japan.. I KNOW what i'm doing"
my response, because ignoring her isn't working: "Dude, seriously? NO!"

4. "Hiphop sucks man! Nobody is dancing so just let me DJ ONE SONG. If they don't dance, I will leave you alone"
me: "No one is dancing because it's still happy hour and there are 5 people here. I don't know what kind of DJ you are if you think it's ok to let anyone else, let alone strangers touch your equipment. If you're really a DJ you should know better than to be a pain in the ass when i'm trying to work. I've been here less than 3 minutes. You're going to leave me alone now, or i'm going to have the bouncer escort you out"

5. "Pleeeeeeeaasee?!"
me: BOUNCER!

Yeah, she also waited until I was mixing to talk to me.
I'm generally pretty nice to people. But I had to check this one. Couldn't deal.
razzamataz 7:12 AM - 4 July, 2008
i had a party about 3 months ago and from the moment i rocked up i knew it was gonna be trouble. When i got there i noticed there was about 5 Darth Vadars and 3 ninjas (a freakin costume party), costume parties do not normally bother me but this one was a 40th. I had 40 yr+ ladies dressed as hookers from the 1920s stumbling over to me asking me to play ABBA!. After the host come over to me and asked if i could play one ABBA track from her CD i reluctantly accepted only to be attacked for the rest of the night to play dancing queen and some track about a man after midnight!!! This one pain in my ass continued to sing me a track to see if i had it, i just ignored her and pumped up the music (it was Keep On Loving You - REO Speedwagon).

$500 was all that stopped me from leavin + some ladies trying to set me up with their daughters.
Caramac 7:39 AM - 4 July, 2008

Caramac 9:27 AM - 9 July, 2008
Last nights gems were.

Some random drunk bloke...

''You think you're hot shit on the decks. You're good but you can improve''

Shook my hand then stumbled off to stare at some girls chest.

and these young girls.

~You playing any Bashment?
~Nah it's just a hip hop night tonight but I can play some at this venue on friday you should come down.
~Ok. So what can you play?
~Anything hip hop. What do you want to hear?
~I don't know. What do you want to see us dance to?
~I'd like to see you dance to some hip hop...

Lol.

Oh and then some woman came up asking for some proper cheesy rubbish. I was like I can drop it for you when it packs out some more. She kept realing off a list of your typical rnb/rap top 40 and then when she saw it wasn't happening any time soon she asks for Gangstarr - Full Clip and You Know My Steez?!?!

not exactly song requests...but I think these qualify:

customer: can i put my purse/coat/etc. back here??? (in the dj booth)

me: it's $20 and I'm not responsible for it if anything happens.

or...

customer: can i sit here (where security sits, next to the booth)

me: no, that's for security.

customer: well they aren't here now!

me: (thinks,"well then why did you ask me?")

then the girl proceeds to take her shoes off and puts her feet up on the booth about 2 feet from me.

me: please don't do that.

then she gets up, walks around the club barefoot (there's broken glass bottles on the floor and the club is packed)

I told her that this is a club and people come here to dance and listen to music, not to talk. That if she wanted to talk to can go to the lounge. Then she asked to speak to the manager about this.... Stupid.... Later she came by and pulls out like three $20 bills and said, and I was going to give you a tip..... LOL

Cool what song would she like?
It's her birthday.
Cool What's her name how old is she and what song would she like?
What have you got?
Over 10k's worth.
Well play what you want.
Er ok.


Have you played her song yet?

DJ-A 8:45 PM - 17 August, 2008
This is my the best i've had in a long time... not ridiculous but funny

I was doing a gig at a club last night, and i was on the patio. it was great, out of the club smell/humidity/stuff... and out in the nice summer weather...

anyways, heres the funniest conversation....

Dude! you're awesome!!

Thanks

next time you do a gig out here like this you should have them move all the patio furniture...

what do you mean

the tables and chairs out here

ok, i got ya... what do you recommend?

shit... put them inside on the dance floor you kick ass, everyone is out here dancing anyways
dunkle 9:53 PM - 25 August, 2008
Yeah, so I was doing a gig at this spot downtown a couple of weeks ago. Girl and what I assume to be her boyfriend walk straight up to me and dude is all "What's the format tonight?" I tell him it's pretty much open and we play what we like. No boundaries, just keep the staff and us entertained. Kinda block party shit, you know. Classic rock, electro, french house, new wave, punk, garage rock, freestyle, funk, 80's, hip hop, breaks, just whatever. Just so it flows and no train wrecks. So dude says cool and walks away. Girl on the other hand looks me square in the eyes and says "This song sucks". (Electric Avenue) And I tell her "If you don't like this one then you're gonna hate the next one". (Your Kiss Is On My List) I went back to work and ignored her death stare. I figured they were ghost after that encounter. But when the lights came on about an hour and half later, he and her were still there. All smiles. Dude came over and said thanks for the good time. I guess she liked the one after next.
Caramac 1:45 PM - 28 August, 2008
It was bank holiday weekend this last weekend and I had a few more random conversations than normal.

9.30 doors are opened. I'm playing some new warm up tunes.

Can you play something more danceable.
Yeah what do you want to hear?
That new Ne Yo tune?
Which one? (because new to me is unknown to a punter usually)
The dancey one.
(I normally play dumb but wasn't in the mood)
Closer?
Yeah that's the one. Play it next.
Nah not next but it'll definitely get played tonight.
Why not?
Because it's a big tune that everyone wants to hear so for best effect I play it when the room is full.
When's that?
About 12ish.
I'm going to complain to the manager.
Lol. He's standing there. Go tell him and when he comes over I'll tell him no as well.
He'll sack you.
No he won't.
You're hired to play what I say?
Lol Nah I'm hired because I'm good and I know what I'm doing. You can hear the tune but later.
I have big boobs.
Lol. I've seen boobs before.
As nice as these.
(the real answer was plenty and better you fat slag) Nah I won't lie they are nice.
So you going to play my tune then?
Yeah but not now.
I'll go complain.
Be my guest.

Then later that night some other girls.

Can you play How Deep Is Your Love by Dru Hill?
(I hadn't heard this tune in ages and thought) Yeah no probs.

Put the tune on next as it mixed in with what I was playing thought nothing more of it.

About 10 mins later this other girl who was with them came over..

So do you like my mate then?
(Looked at her friend) She's alright
Well you must do because I ask you for Dru Hill every week and you say no and she asks the 1st time she's here and you play it for her. Why?!?!

I was confused and could see a woman argument coming that no man could win. Lol.
Groove45 7:51 PM - 28 August, 2008
The dumbest situation I recently experience at the club was this woman asked me to play reggae. I responded "sure I can!" She receaches into her pocket to tip me and pulls out a $5 bill. Im thinking, ok cool. whatever!! Then she hands me the bill and ask for $3's back. WTF... I threw the bill back at her and told her to keep. If your going tip a DJ don't ask for change!! That's rude..

Another situation the same nite! I'm in the middle of mixxing. This girl was waving her hands at me. I thought she wanted a request. The bitch asked me if I had change for a $20!! Do I look like I have a cash register. Huh! Yea, Let me push the cash out button on my laptop. Dumb Bitch no#2.

Lol, Same thing happened to me. Girl came up and asked my partner (nohomo) if we had Change. He looks over at me and tells me "You have Change? Never Heard of them" I didnt have any "Change", we were so confused, first time this happens to me, so we just sent the girl back and forth between to two of us telling her "Ask him (pointing to the other guy), he has all types of that shit."

Me: Erm, I'll have a look and see what I have.

Now, this isn't the first time this has happened over the years, it happend maybe once or twice a year, why is it only Canadians who do this? Can someone tell what it's all aboot ;)
Nope, Spanish chicks do this ALL the time.

dude... ALL the freakin time. doesn't matter where I'm playing. You could be spinning in a damn Irish dive bar, and a Spanish chick will walk up and ask for Salsa.

The conversation goes like this:

girl: can you play some Spanish music like salsa or merenge?
me: um.. this really isn't that kind of place.
girl: what about some reggaeton?
me: nope, sorry.
girl: (defeated) -- what about Shakira?
me: I'll try to slip some in.

I wouldn't walk into a latin club and ask for some U2.

And for god's sake, people need to get over their sickening obsession with Lil Wayne. I've had enough.

Funniest thing ever, VIP host is standing behind me in the booth, we have basically all of the celtics rookies in the club, girl walks up and says something to the VIP host. He taps me on the shoulder and says "Do you have a song called Cupids cellphone?".....I laughed and said, "Do you mean the Cupid Shuffle?"......girl pops up and says "YEAH!"..I said, "im not playing that, have you ever tried to get 700 people to line dance in a packed club?" so she gets pissed and says "Fuck you" and flips me off........

I laughed.... wtf do these people think.......

But they have it next door.
I'm sure they do. That's the house room. This is the RnB room.
Can you go get the song from him?

Oh. Okay play me some Ne Yo then.

Me: No
G: You sure?

G: You didn't check
Me: I've never heard of them before.
G: Fine.... Do you have XXX
Me: No
G: So you have XXXX
Me: No
G: XXXX?
Me: No
G: What about the local band XXXX?
Me: Really no...
G: (REally annoyed at me now) Don't you have ANY FUTURE POP!
Me: Uhhhh what's future pop?
G: (Grabbing for my laptop) Let me see your music real quick!

What made this sepcial in my mind was the fact this was a 14 minute proceeding and somehow she thought it would be all right to grab the system I am mixing on us...


I have also had a patron actually "tattle" on me to a resident because I didn't play the right song from a band she wanted to hear... I didn't have the one she wanted so I played another one from a different CD I did have and she was so upset she went to him and insisted that he have me play the right one.

I had some white guys pretending to play basket ball on the dance floor(they're getn' laid for sure.

Every dance song is not Techno, that's like calling everything else Rap.

I've played an hour strait of Hip Hop & Top 40 and the first dance cut I play some one 100% of thetime will come up and ask if i'm going to play Techno all night?

I was asked "What time does the dancing start"? As if there is a specific time for the people to start dancing.

He's been rappin with his group for a few weeks now. he KNOWS I only do electronic so I dont cut into my buddy's set. I get a "hey man, can you play some rap???" I told him "YOU KNOW I DONT DO THAT."

Im doing my typical thing at a diverse night at my residency in Chicago. Last hour we usually play nothing but house music even tho we do throw in some spanish here and there but definitely not salsa cuz
1) only myself and maybe 2 people in a 500+ venue are actually gonna dance to it
2) definitely gonna be a floor clearer no matter what salsa song u play.

ME)- spinnin house bangers new and old
girl) - I'm from Miami can u play some salsa NOW (not hot at all!)
me) - I laugh and point at the crowd
MC/DJ friend - um, I dont think hes gonna play it
girl) - if he doesn't play it I'm gonna say Chicago sucks.
ME - grab mic.. Everyone from chicago make some noise...
crowd - screams like crazy
me - if your from Chicago and think Miami sucks, make some noise!
crowd - screams again..
Girl)- walks off in disgust and flips us off..
US) - shrug shoulders, I continue mixing..

Disclaimer: in no way shape or form do we dislike Miami or our Floridian bretheren. But being ugly and from Miami doesn't given you the right to threaten me with lame requests or threats at a venue thats full of people who don't give a sh!t about salsa. And I love salsa, but not more then house! And why are girls from Miami so bossy! Geez if she said it nicely or even looked somewhat hot I would have felt a little sympathy for her.

2) Any Top 10 song before I'm damn ready to play it - $100*
*($125 for Britney Spears Songs)

3) Asking for ANY of the following before 3:00 AM - $100
- Journey, The Outfield, Bon Jovi, etc.

4) Really bad old "hip-pop" tracks like 'Baby Got Back' - Your ATM card & corresponding PIN

Don't say "Play it next" ... Ever...

ABSOLUTELY NO REQUESTS ACCEPTED AFTER 3:40 AM EVER, EVER, EVER. I DON'T CARE IF IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY, YOU'RE LEAVING FOR EUROPE TOMORROW, OR THAT YOU WILL GET LAID IF I PLAY IT, ETC. ETC.

That question is fun. You can say pretty much anything.

"FYE, Best Buy, Target... I hit all the spots. You just gotta know what to look for."
"The shelf at my house"
"GEMM.com"
"There's this old dude at the fleamarket who shows up once per leapyear"

etc.

Ok, something REALLY weird happened!

This weekend I was dj'ng a 20 year wedding party... (not the best and most fun place to play music, but it pays well)

Later the night I was playing some rock music (cause they were nagging my ears off!), a middle aged guy (looks normal to me) comes to me, asking, "you have anything from The Stones?".

Cause I was in the middle of classic rock stuff, I asked him: "Sure! What do you want to hear?"
Then he looked back in panic, thinking something like 'holy shit! he really has them!'
he starts duddling with a lot of 'ummms' 'eeerss'...

I was thinking, 'what is wrong with that guy' and decides to be the nice guy asking him: "satisfaction?" honky tonk?" But he just runs of in terror, doing signs to me as in "nevermind, it's not important"

WTF?!!


I neverknew The Stones were THAT alien! LOL

That is wild when people are so obvlious to their surroundings, and exist in a little me-bubble...

However, there is a reggae cover of Creep done by Easy Star All Stars that I would have flipped on her.
But yeah, she was trippin.
Idlemind1999 9:51 PM - 30 September, 2008
I had a few Creep covers from other artists.. but not the Easy Star one.. Good lookin out.. I'll look for it.. And nothing against Radiohead, My iPod is loaded with it, and Rabbit in your headlights is like the coolest video I'd saeen in a long time... but you are right about the "ME" Bubble...

That reminds me, at an album release party I did for some unsigned act (?!?) I was in the middle of a heavy dance set (120BPMs +) and a chick runs the old, "Hey can you play 50Cent, I like the way you do it?... like NOW cause I'm about to leave."

I said "Really? like NOW??, in the middle of all this, just rip it off and play what you want??"

she smiled and said yes...

I made her wait, coat in hand for 2 more songs in my same speed range. Then I put on the instrumental to Planet Rock (crowd goes wild...STILL! i love it) she frowns... Then I take the 50cent track, pitch it down, down down.... and hit the 45RPM button and mash away.... she was PISSED... and told me, if 50 was here, he would cut your throat...

I told her... if he was here... I'd cut YOUR throat...

No, she uses turntables.

uhhhhhh no

"what kind of turntables"

Technics

no, black ones

Britney Spears is on the banned list too... but when he had a girlfriend who requested... guess what artist I had to play?

I had a similar deal with an owner here (3 other DJs from my town know about this place and AMF still spins there ocassionally) back in 2004. My first night I worked there, the owner came running to me when I played the first song that wasn't radio hip-hop. I kinda brushed it off and thought "he'll come around". Nope!

I walked out of there the 2nd week in the beginning of the night and said "Good luck with the music, I'm out..."

I agree with Dynamite - tell the owner to fuck off.

Not exactly rocket science there, yes I realize that ultra cheese like Girls Just Wanna Have Fun is going to get cheesy girls to dance around a pile of their discarded handbags, the same way Livin On A Prayer, or Journey will do, I completely understand the plight of the owner. He's probably been listening to that crap for 20 years, so when you work for him, use tracks like that as a last resort, NOT a staple of your set. He owns the place and pays you. Do what he says. You're not being stifled as an "artist" for not being allowed to play a cheesy 80's estrogen anthem.

Regarding the Britney thing, shit dude.. you think that's the first time a guy has bent the rules to make a girl happy? That's just like one of us playing soldier boy half a year ago for a couple hundred bucks. Sure the song is against your religion, but when you're getting something you want in return, it makes all the difference in the world.

I hear what you guys are saying, but lets say for a example you have a large group of girls that are dropping crazy money at the bar and are pretty much just out to have a good time and get smashed (A Bachellerete party) and they request the song, do you think the owner would get mad if you play something on the banned list then? especially if you tell him "The Bachellorete party that's dropping crazy money at your bar requested it" My whole point is that I don't see the point in an owner banning girly songs regardless of how cheesy they might be. I'm also not saying to play cheesy 80's girly songs all night. It's not about solely doing what the crowd wants or making the songs the staple of your set, It's more about having the freedom to play what you want when you want or when the majority of the patrons that are spending money at the venue want it.

Depends, I would say. Would you piss of your regular customers just for a few ladies who visit the club once in a year?

I think it would depend on how many times he plays the song. If it was a once every few months thing then your regulars aren't going to get pissed or shouldn't get pissed at that. Plus you may get those ladies to come back again if you give them a night to remember.

I dip into some cheesy music like that once in a blue moon. But it'll usually be when the night is slow and there have been fights and the vibe is messed up. I'll just dip into some cheesy music to switch the vibe around.

Who's better equipped to make that decision? The resident DJ or the owner? The DJ is the one who hears first hand from people at the club what they want to hear and what they don't want to hear (techno - anything that sounds like it has a stronger kick than the original in the background).

Again it would depend. I used to have a residency at this one bar that this rasta woman owned and I'll be honest her knowledge of reggae tunes was far greater than mine and would always get good responses from the club goers.

whats the point of owners banning music?
Kool DJ Sheak One 4:39 PM - 8 October, 2008
The owner should only care about the bottom line, which is bar sales.
But some owners like to hear only a certain type of music, so its good to know what never to play if they are like that.
Although, if the crowd is feeling that new Osama Bin Laden Mixtape, and people are dropping stupid luchi at the bar, then the dj is doing his job..
However, the last two minutes of "Girls just wanna have Fun" is pretty rough to get through.
The last Dj I saw play that, played the whole song, and the crowd was done with it after the 30th "Just wanna, they just wannaaaa"
But if the crowd is lovin it, then roll with that vibe.
Banning songs is lame when the crowd is different on different nights.
Idlemind1999 5:53 PM - 8 October, 2008

Bottom line guys. Owners OWN the place. They pay the bills. If they say NO, the answer is NO. If you think you're some kind of Sara Palin styled "maverick" and you're going to be defiant about playing really really crappy 80's pop cheese for batchelorete parties, by all means go ahead. Shit, if you're gonna stand up to the boss, I'd highly recommend what you're doing is really something you believe in, and you're willing to risk your cash to get your point across.

The owner cares more about the atmosphere and crowd he wants to attract rather than plain bar sales on a single night, I think a lot of you are neglecting to look at the big picture. Yes, banning songs can be an extreme measure, but if I owned a place, I'd certainly consider banning absolute crap like overplayed 80's cheese, Britney, oh.. and reggaeton too. Anything that sounds like nails on a chalkboard to me.. and why not if you own the place ;)

Bottom Line... Owners OWN, Mangager MANAGE and DJs CONTROL the MUSIC and the CROWD. If everyone does what they're supposed to do and nobody steps on anyone elses toes then everyone will be happy and succesful.

I've told a couple owners off myself. I've even gotten on the mic and called the owner out and had the crowd tell the owner "F*@K You" it was funny as hell. After that the owner realized who controlled the crowd and who made him his money

I guess this is where it depends on that delicate balance between money and pride...

I have a 9-5 that I love... and spinning has always been a love as well, and thankfully I dont need it to survive (financially) (Hell , maybe if i DID need it to survive, I would practice more intensely) Any how, I was in a situation where over time, the owner (very nice guy; fair and reasonable) grew sick and took less of a major role in running the place. His partner (only in it for the money and knew very little about the the day to day operations); used to make remarks that, eventually I had to call him on.

Friday night 1145pm or so. Hip hop (flipping back and forth between 90s and today ) crowd is digging it, drinks are flowing, floor is packed.

Straw that broke Idlemind's back...


Clueless Partner: Hey man, can you change the music? its getting a little too "dark" in here and we only have 2 bouncers on...


I got on the mic, and dictated what he said and pointed him out. Then told everyone I was going across the street to the other bar; 3/4 of the floor went with me and so did one of the bartenders.


This was, of course after weeks of double ended jokes singling out just about any group you can think of, belittling staff and patrons alike and just being an over all a*hole.

now if i needed that gig to eat, I suppose I would have had a tougher skin.

Oh, I get it. "Dark".

It took me like three times reading through that post to figure out what you meant.

What a douche bag! Props to you idle!

Last night I played Mtume-Juicy at this resturant and I'm up on a balcony overlooking my minions.
I see this old lady get up from her table and march up the staircase.
She was coming for me.
I readied my patience for a "can you turn it down" or "can you play Frank Sinatra"
To my suprise, old broad was geeking out on the track, like buggin had to have it.
I told her to get a paper and pen and I would write it down.
She said she had heard it before, and I said it was probably a sample from Biggie or Keysha Cole. But maybe she heard it when the song came out when she was only 40.
Broad was old and feeling the soul.

And then I saw a huge rat run behind me!
Not eating at that spot again!

I've actually had "dark" bouncers tell me to cool it cause it was getting too "dark" in the room.. I'm not sure it's racially charged. I'm all for everyone having a good time, but if a bouncer is getting spooked by people of his same origin.. I mean.. what do you say to that?

Alright, I feel semi responsible. Let's see... what kind of asshole requests did I get last night....

There was the "DOOOOD.. YOU GOT ZOMBIE NATION?"
/blank stare

Got a double tit flash for TI & Rihanna - Live Your Life
/that song will be gone in a month

Request for Robert Miles - Children, which was weird cause I heard it on the radio driving to work.. Still didn't play it.

The cliched "do you have anything we can dance to like.. Nelly - Its Getting Hot In Here?"
/get the fuck away from me.

Girl who MIGHT have been 21: Can you play Miley Cyrus?
Me: no
Girl: why?
Me: She's 15, stop watching the Disney Channel.
Girl: Have you heard her music? It's really good.
Me: that's great. don't have it.
Girl: you need to update your music.. (while I'm playing Chris Brown's Forever)
Me: K. bye.

later in the night same girl --
Girl: what happens if I press this button?
Me: That alerts the bouncer that someone is pissing me off.

Drunk guy: DUDE.. YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD KILL IT RIGHT NOW?
Me: You not yelling in my ear?
Drunk guy: NO DUDE.. PLAY THAT NEW KID ROCK
Me: Your trailer is showing.

and finally.... as I'm putting my laptop in my bag..
Girl: Can we just hear one more song? Please Please Please Please Please?
Me: Sure, what do you want to hear?
Girl: OMG!.. Um... Britney - Break The Ice
Me: how does that one go again?
Girl: (starts singing)
Me: cool.. sounds good. enjoy. /walks out

Shit that reminds me.. of some of my old tricks... I'm gonna try them again this weekend:

I'm playing popular dance music and floor is about full... im two songs in.

CLUELESS CHICK: Hey can you play some reggae?

ME: after the dance music is done I'll switch to something... so maybe..

CC: what about NOW?

ME: Nah cant... you want me to just rip whats playing off and put on what you want??

CC: yeah.. do it...

I drag the needle across the record quick-like and fade to the next dance song. Everyone looks up at me and I point to her. Bouncer comes and escorts her OUT...

not to say im a "bpm nerd" but if your promoter likes you and the bartenders and security are your homies, you can just slam whatever you like. but its just incredible. last night, the owner of my club was chilling, and he threw me some extra paper to spin for another 45, so whatever, but he likes certain kind of music, so im doing that.

some random kept asking for the roots - the seed.

i was like ok cool. ill try, stay-up-homie.

he was cool. his bitch-of-a-girlfriend kept getting snarky, saying shit like, "your music sucks, you are the worst dj i've ever heard in my life"

man, its like 220 (most la clubs close 2am, BIG UPS to the NY homies with the 5-6 hour stretch)

im restless, irritable, and discontent. im gonna knock this bitch out. plus i gotta dj 6-9 then 10-2 all over again tomorrow, so i aint trying to hear this bullshit, god help me.
kid90nz 9:13 PM - 12 October, 2008
I was playing the Blackalicious after party (had been a freakin awesome night so far), and had two girls from their entourage (not part of the group, just hanging with them) come and ask me for "that new TI and Rihanna track". After trying to explain that I didn't have it, they get all shitty and stand right in front of the DJ booth sending out horrible vibes. A few minutes later one of looks at my gear and says " Oh, you've got Serato, how come you can't play the Rihanna song?"
By now, I'm pretty over these twos attitude, so I tell her that just because I'm using a laptop doesn't mean I have it full of crappy Top40 hits and if they want to hear shit like that they can go to Shooters or The Grumpy Mole (trashy drunk fucktard bars). I'm hear to play local hiphop and if they don't like it they can fuck off.

The saddest thing is, they managed to completely kill the vibe in the room, and it didn't recover even after they left.

haha.. reminded me of something last week.

drunk indian chick: would you do the playing of theee "It's Getting Hot In Here?"
me: nope.
drunk indian chick: but why? I ask, you should play
me: for starters, I hate that song, second I don't have it.
drunk indian chick: I will not be leaving until you play the request for me
me: you're drunk and your breath fucking stinks, now get away from me before you get asked to leave

then she insisted that she would not be able to have the conversation she was having if she was drunk. luckily some dude came up wanting a track ID, I tell him "get this bitch out of the way and I'll tell you" (while trying to mix at the same time). Got the next song in and she was gone.

A bitch flipped me off on Saturday night for not playing Plies - Bust It Baby during primetime. She prefaced her request with "you're really a good DJ and stuff, but you need to play the stuff that really gets people dancing". That's never a good way to start a request.

Then I told her to take a look around at the packed floor full of people dancing: www.facebook.com

yeah, my eyes start rolling as well when I hear the words "you're really a good DJ", mostly it doesn't end there :o)

Btw, cool to see that there's other people rocking out on the Ikea Laptop stand :oD
Something I did with mine is, I flipped the top, I mounted it upside down so the edges would stand up, it is perfect to keep your laptop from sliding off for whatever reason that might ever happen.
Cheers!
DJ Young Herrera 1:07 PM - 14 October, 2008
Evil_banana, That's an excellent idea!

I shoulda bought like four of those things. I don't think they make it anymore.
Evil_banana 2:26 PM - 14 October, 2008
They still make them, but I think they updated the design or something, went there a couple of weeks ago. The only problem with these things is that they bend very easily. I want to make some laptop stand myself, something that is stable, holds both my Macbook AND KaossPad3 and which I can attach/clamp to my TT-flightcases. And preferrably something that folds for transport (yes, I know, I'm being demanding :o)

Anyway, back on topic. Stupid requests...
A while ago I was spinning at the bar I started out (quite alternative, could hear Tiesto and Britney Spears as well as hardstep DrumnBass and deathmetal, all on the same night, even within the hour :oP)
Around 6 in the morning, a regular who got waaaaaay too drunk (good fella though but REALLY wasted), stumbled up to the booth, pulled out his portable CD-player and tried to hand me the CD and starts mumbling really slow (hardly understandable, guy couldn't even make a full sentence anymore)
HIM: "Number 9... Number 9... Number 9"
ME: "I can't play CD's"
HIM: "Number 9... Number 9... Number 9"
ME: "I repeat, I CAN'T play CD's!!!"
HIM: "Number 9... Number 9..."
ME: "What's the song, perhaps I have it on my laptop"
HIM: "Number 9... Number 9... Number 9"
ME: *eyerolling* snatches the CD, and see it's the Black Album from Metallia which I had with me. So I tell him that I have it with me and that I'm going to play it within a minute and I give him back his CD.
HIM: "Number 9... Number 9... Number 9"
ME: "IN A MINUTE! GODD*MNED!" ... and I put on Nr 9 (Of wolf and man)
...
He stands there wobbling for about a minute, trying not to fall over, no reaction at all, and then suddenly...
HIM: "Number 9... Number 9... Number 9"
ME: "I AM PLAYING THE SONG! IT'S THE SAME SONG!!!! IT'S OF WOLF AND MAN!"
HIM: "Number 9... Number 9... Number 9...Number 9... Number 9... Number 9...Number 9... Number 9... Number 9..." (meanwhile still hovering the CD over my stuff to hand me the CD)
ME: *getting pissed* I pull the CD from his hand again. I slide it underneath my mixer, pretending to load it into a non-existing CD-player and I reposition the needle back to the beginning of the track... As soon as the song starts the guy smiles of happiness and thanks me like 10 times and stumbles his way back to the bar, trips over his own feet, falls flat on his ass, crawls up again and sits his drunken ass on his barstool again trying to headbang.

Normally I wouldn't be this patient and smacked him halfway the "convseration", but it was early in the morning and I knew the guy pretty well. Had some pretty good laughs about it afterwards with the bartender :oD

When I was still in Florida, I did a house party for my Chicago people one night, and it was a lot of typical Florida and Georgia people there. I was really playin songs more for people to dance to, such as Ying Yang, Lil Jon, etc.....and this dude came up to me and said "DAMN MAN, YOU NOT PLAYIN NOTHIN FOR THE THUGS!!!! YOU GOTTA PLAY SOMETHIN FOR THE THUGS!!!"

I was like you trippin...y'all "thugs" wanna fight and shoot. I mixed it up and played a few songs that were more on that Jeezy/Gucci Man tip, but only songs that females could dance to. Of course, every time I played anything with energy, they almost started fightin...so at one point, I made an announcement and I HAD TO play some Usher just so they would completely calm down or leave. When they left, I thought all was cool...until a minute later when people started runnin back inside and said "THEY ARE SHOOTIN!!!!" and everybody started hidin inside the house. While everybody else is scared for their lives, I'm scared for my equipment!

recently, the owner of a small venue asked me to "stop playing rap music. play classic rock" and the entire crowd was into rap/top 40. i stopped the record and yelled "The owner wants to hear classic rock" and I played BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY! The look on the crowd was priceless and the owner pretty much ran out of the venue to hide behind the police officers. Hahah!

Probably not as bad as some of the stories I heard here but a bar maid asked me to Play Baby Got back..I'm like are you kidding me? Somebody else asked me to Play Al Green. I mean I like Al Green but not at a club. The same night, I had some drunk guy give me a $20 dollar tip. I probably shouldn't had taken it, but hey...the economy is bad...Audio1 I had an owner tell me he didn't want me to play rap either (same place) turned out everyone there wanted to hear rap, so I played it anyway...just the clean edits

Idlemind1999 10:33 PM - 20 October, 2008
Just when I think that I have hit rock bottom with stupidity, someone comes along and lowers the bar more.

This friday past, I was hired to play 2 hrs before a band and 3 hrs after the band. It was a jam for a retiring police officer and most of the crowd were his friends, family and co-workers. To be safe, a week or 2 before, I asked for a list of a few songs that he liked (so i could get and idea where he wanted to head with it) So I got, Rick James, James Brown, Temptations, Stevie Wonder...


So at the gig, I'm playing them all and everything like it... People are dancing and yelling when they hear stuff that that remember...

So an older guy walks up and asks me to play some Indian music. So we know how this would play out in any of the choices that we as DJs could choose... and none of them are good.

So I tell him, ok... give me some time and I will see what i can find. (I know that the band is going on in 10 min)

So he comes back like 2 more times... each time drunker than the last. Finally the band is going on and I turn around to him pointing up at me (the was a short dude) telling me, "Hey! I told you INDIAN MUSIC...I'm Bramin and you have to listen to me..." I had heard the word before.. but i had no clue right then. I told him the band was on and he had to wait. He stumbles off and walks onto the stage right as the band it about to play, "Money Money Money" (You know the one with the funk Bass intro) and he happens to tap the bass player on the shoulder and says something... they all look up at me and I give the "NO WAY!" sign with my hand across my neck and they laugh and start with the Bassline and jam... it turns out he told them that they cant go on unless they are going to play some indian music. Someone lifted him off the stage by his belt loops and carried him outside like a small package.... I spent the rest of the night laughing with the band....

How about when 2 or more girls come up and request a song, but you noticed that they weren't dancing at all .. .. Then when you do play the song, they STILL don't dance?!?

When people who aren't dancing request songs . . . . .it's wack . ..

Bride - "Can you play that Milkshake song?"
Me - "Yeah, no problem" (She is the bride, after all)

...right after I played "Milkshake" by Kelis

Bride - "I'm still waiting for the Milkshake song..."
Me - "I believe I just played it..."
Bride - "No, not that one, the one where the guy shakes the cow and dances in the commercial..."

At the spot I used to spin at we had to shut the music off at 1, after that they play videos and the audio can be heard throughout as if we are still playing music.

This one dumb blonde clearly sees me tearing down the gear, one tt put away another one sitting on the table plugged into nothing. She comes up and asks for some song. I don't remember, but I told her,"for you hell yeah I'll play it right away." Very sarcastically.

Still tearing down and 5 minutes later she comes and asks for another song as well, when there is nothing but dust on the table now. I say sure, of course I'll play it.

How dumb are people not to notice that the gear is torn down. Do they only see us as jukeboxes and get to request for free.

Lol.

I've not had many real dumb requests or comments in ages.

The only one is this one girl who gives me shit each week about hearing the tunes she wants and leaves without fail as soon as the party starts jumping.

Anyway the saturday after Halloween she comes up and gives me the usual shit. When are you going to play my tunes. I'm leaving early etc. I reply when the party packs out you'll have to wait.

Now me and she joke a little so it's no real problem.

She then said you played them last night?
I didn't see you.
I felt like giving you the night off and leaving you to dj uninterupted.
And
You played my songs but you also played some right shit music
Ok. Lol.
So I want to hear just my songs and nothing else
Alright princess. Akon Smack that will be on repeat for the next hour.
Good.

I've had that before. I wass playing this one club and some skinhead asked me how many black people did I see and was I going to be playing this music all fucking night.

I told him to fuck off. He complained to the owner the owner came and asked why I was swearing at customers I told him why and that I was going to spark the guy if he came near me again and then the owner had him thrown out.

I've about had it with people trying to offer me money to play songs. I don't know, maybe I should just take it and play them, but I'm really not a sellout. Maybe if they didn't demand that it was the next song if they give me money, I'd oblige. But I'm not going to risk making a poor mix so some GUY (that was the best part of it) can hear the new T.I. and Rihanna song because it's his "theme song".

VADG: (rolling eyes) -- I told you it wouldn't work

Guy Trying To Get Laid: so she wants to hear Tainted Love (while I'm playing 90's R&B)

me: uh yeah.. don't have that one (no I'm not kicking up to 136 bpm at 3:30 AM)

Very Annoyed Drunk Girl: what about Round and Round?

i had some old chinese dude on stage last friday night going nuts.he was only up there trying to get amongst the girls who were already shaking their titaays on stage. so he then thaught he would try and impress them by turning towards me and trying to crank up the gain knobs on the mixer. he had been studying/looking at the mixer for a while trying to figure out which knob he should turn. dude got it right first time! almost blew the damn sound system and everyone in the club was like,, whoa,, wtf just happened to my ears ! i tried to remove his arm from its socket but dude was too fast for me as i was cueing a song at that moment.
security then moved on him,, but he started talking shit to them and they were too pussy to even take him off the stage, so he them stood there looking at me like he wanted to start something, he mouthed something at me and i just gave him the finger and jestured to him to fuck off and go somewhere else.
my set was going great up to that point. it didnt do any damage but it pissed me off and juts killed my vibe. and the fact that security didnt do shit about it just pissed me off even more.
fucking retards

So with 40 minutes left he comes up to me with a blank look on his face and says, dude, you're going to save some songs for me right?

All I could think was yeah, you should be opening for me... especially if i'm just messing around and you're sweating cause because of all the songs i'm playing

I always say "it depends". Its like a game of prisoner-dilemma with 4 outcomes:

a) girl requesting a song i like - yes
b) guy requesting a song i like - yes
c) guy requesting a song i don't like - hell no
d) girl requesting a song i don't like - may be

everyone knows "may be" means "no"!

I usually don't have problems with people and their requests. Its when I've already played a song and tell people I'm not going to play it again. That's when people become bitches. Actually, I've never had a guy get mad. Its always girls. They turn into bitches right before my eyes. Usually they start out smiling and rubbing on my arm or some shit, which I hate, cuz I know they are just being "strippers" when they do that.

How does everyone else deal with requests for tracks that you've already played? Maybe I'm strange but I make it a rule to never play a track twice in a night when there is a crowd there.

If I think I'll play it: I'll work it in when I get a chance.

If I think I won't: I'll try to work it in, We'll see, etc.

Typical exchange:

Will you play X?

I've already played it.

Can you play it again?

(If it played it really early) Maybe later. We'll see.

(If I've played it after most of the crowd arrived) Probably not gonna get a chance to play it again. Almost everybody was here when I played it. What else would you like to hear?



A little tact goes a long way with most people. For those for whom it doesn't, you can try to ignore them. Or, if neccessary, just say you need to get back to work and ask them to go mingle and let you have your space.

I'm the same way. I won't repeat a song unless it's a new track that I'm trying to break. Then I'll play it about 3 or 4 times in a night. Only because people need to be brainwashed like that.

And when it comes to taking requests, my answer is always the same "I'll see if I can work it in" even if i have no intention of playing it

i have had some krazy comments and times while djin, my worst was when i got hit on by a gay guy. very ugly feeling.

but what i hate most is how onlookers tend to ask a million questions on "how does serato work with your mac?' it gets rather irritating having to repeat yourself. come on ppl, just dance to the music

DJ Doug Collins 6:35 PM - 15 November, 2008
I had the girls who walked in 8 seconds after we'd turned off the lights and started requesting songs last night. And I had the "I'm a DJ too" guy bugging me last night. Asking me for Lil Wayne. That automatically made me despise him, and believe he probably has never DJ'ed anywhere but his bedroom. And I'm pretty sure I'd played something with Lil Wayne like 3 songs before. I need to put my "don't ask me to play Lil Wayne" sign back up in the booth.

WACK DJ'S?! well where the fuck do you dj? your bedroom? a little ghetto-ass hole in the wall club where 85% of the crowd is dudes? i play music according to the crowd cuz thats what im paid to do... i dont just "play" the music either... im flippin acapellas over beats, i work in scratches and juggles here and there and most of all i keep the crowd rockin more than any of you "closed minded" WACK dj's. of course i hate all that souljah boy and lil wayne shit... but i love dj'ing and i love to see the crowd react to what i play. im always choppin up all that good'ol 90's hip-hop and old-skool shit when i first set up and the club just opens, but when the crowd poors in... its time for me to do my job. sure, i might be dissed by other dj's for playing that shit, but i get more gigs then them and im more paid and known... dj'ing to me isn't about impressing other dj's. so go ahead and call me a wack dj... im more well-rounded then you will ever be!

Yes, I'm a closed minded WACK DJ that probably has more experience and knowledge of the business than you'll ever have.

Mobile DJ at a school dance and I had already emailed my playlist to the contracted party: got the OK! Spoke about restricted song play on curse words: understood! Set up and started the 1st song and they came up and asked me to play something a "little less rappy"!!! I wasn't ready for that. I managed to squeak it thru the night but all the kids were definitely not happy with the song choices. I don't know if this has been discussed but you have to ensure that you are on the same page as the person hiring you. Now I have 300+ kids who won't be calling me for any other gigs. I wouldn't have taken the job if I knew the road it was taking me down.

But no, i try to share a funny story and i get dissed...wtf that ain't cool. We have both been doin' this for a long time, of course i brake records, and no im not just a jukebox (if i am, then im the first jukebox that can mix, scratch, and juggle lol) but i do play request... cuz after all, they did come to MY spot to have a good time, and i wanna keep them comin' back.

I had to curb that shit quick time. Before you know it random people are coming up and down looking in bags and you never know if they're taking stuff or it belongs to them.

I would either charge her $5 or get her phone number and ask her if I could come to her job and drop some boxes off that I dont feel like storing in the basement.

dj lad 8:07 PM - 21 November, 2008
Guh. So I was just asked to open for another DJ for 1.5 hours and get a couple hundred bucks. That's fine, I can still go out on Saturday night. But the promoter was like "Remember I was the first person to hire you in this city?" I had to break it to him that he wasn't... not even close. It was really weird... I sort of didn't know what to say. He's asking me to spin for 90 minutes and he's paying well for those 90 minutes. That's fine with me. It was just very odd... I've played at about 20 other clubs in this city since we first talked and... its weird.
djchrischip 10:37 PM - 21 November, 2008
dj lad and wait what was wierd having to tell him he didn't give u ur "big break"... He might of been saying that for a number of reasons
1. to make feel good and give him a price break.
2. to massage his ego as to being a promoter who got a good dj and now that dj is somewhere partially because of him somehow
3. to just say he was proud of you and happy to be the first promotor to break u in the biz in the city and well look now u r coming back to spin for him.

i guess it is whatever it is but what was wierd telling him that u dj'ed somewhere before he gave u a gig???
dj lad 1:01 AM - 22 November, 2008
It was weird because it wasn't a big break. It was a shitty lounge where I played three times because the place was always empty. The bouncers used to joke about how they would check 40 IDs a night.

He wanted a price break, and I didn't give it to him. He was very weird on the phone - almost like he was begging, and I think that's what was weird. I've been DJing for a long time and I've never had a promoter pull something like that. He didn't give me a "big break" - he basically called begging me to do 1.5 hours ... then he called back and asked for 3 at the same price. I told him that's not reasonable and he knows it. The place is going under and he doesn't want to pay talent what they deserve.

He wasn't even the first promoter to bring me into a club in this city. There were like four before him.

DJ Young Herrera 7:00 PM - 24 November, 2008
So this chick comes up to the booth and is like, "hey you're really cool, can you play some eighties music?"

I respond, "I'll see what I can do"

She responds by holding up a folded up ten dollar bill and asks, "where's your tip jar?" I waive her off and say, you don't have to tip me. She continues to just hold it up, so I take it from her and say again that she doesn't have to tip me. So it gets weird cuz she doesn't leave and I say, "thanks very much that's very nice of you".

I figure, whatever, just got ten. Sweet. I toss it in the coffin and continue on. Ten minutes later she's standing in front of the booth giving me the "What the hell" gesture and face. I yell down to her "you gotta give me some time".

this happens about two more times in the next twenty minutes. I ended up throwing on some track I forget what it was, but she's in my ear all of sudden screaming, "this is 90s not 80s!" So I tell her to chill out and she goes away. I throw on AC/DC 15 minutes later just to get her to stop f'in with me and she give me two thumbs up from the dancefloor. What a stupid whore.

killing it at the end of the night with some 120 bumping shit and this dumb blonde came up to me begging to play 4 non blondes WHATS GOING ON!!!!! absolute vibe killer.

I laughed thinking she was joking..oh no...this went on for like the last hour slapping me on the shoulder and shit "you havent played it yet!" until I finally gave her boyfriend a look like was gonna kill her.

Ok.. So, i'm doing my thing last night and everyone is having a good time. This new troop walks on stage and says:

Troop "Hey man you doing your thang fo real"

Me "cool thanks. what can i help you with"

Troop "you going to be here next week"

Me "yep every saturday. I dj Hip Hop Ever Saturday"

Troop " Cool i'm new here, but Yo i'm going to bring my External next week"

WTF.. I almost bumped my Turntables... LOL

Me "umm what you bring your hard drive for"

Troop " I figured you would hook me up with some music"

Me "yeah probably not.. Look man first of all that's rude.. exit the stage now"

I really hate hearing that. I get people trying to throw hard drives, IPOD, IPHONEs... Have these fuckers heard of Itunes.. Damn!!!!
ntmoney 9:04 AM - 30 November, 2008
A week ago this chick wanted the MC to make a birthday shout out...I told her that he usually did that at 11:30...it was like 10:45 at the time. I continued to mix. I looked back and I swear she was staring at her watch like if she was tranced. She was stuck to the darn thing. Funny thing...at exactly 11:30 she walked towards the booth and signaled to her watch. The homie didnt announce the shout outs till after 12 tho..lol...
Chrisjin 9:08 AM - 30 November, 2008
I feel really bad for the dj's that get hate on by drunk idiots. I've been rockin a shirt that says Fuck off Im mixing and they been respecting that. I'm thinking about making a list for everyone to see when they approach the zone that reads, these are the following songs that get no spins. I'm not trying to be a dick but us dj's have to reclaim the scene where we control the crowd with our hand picked joints.
DJ Dynamite - NJ 4:39 PM - 30 November, 2008
So last night I'm doing my thing at a Monthly guest spot that I do. Mixed crowd, young and old and a slew of cougars in the spot. Chick comes up to me and asks for some Madonna. I'm like "No problem" cause i was about to drops some cheesy 80s joints anyway. I throw on "Holiday" by Madonna and this chick almost flips out at me, "Not that song, I want the new Madonna song. You know, the techno one" So I'm like "If you didn't specify before, did you expect me to read your mind?" I'm going back to my NO REQUESTS policy
Caramac 4:45 PM - 30 November, 2008
Lol @ Dynamite. I always ask which one so when they don't specify I have free reign to drop whatever tune by that artist I feel like.

Oh you want any Jay Z? Right So Ghetto it is.
DJ CON-STRUC 8:00 AM - 4 December, 2008
so tonight this girl asked if she could make a shout out to her friend... i was like "yeah no problem"... i didn't have my mic hooke up so i turned around to grab it but before i could do anything, the chick put her face close to my mixer and yelled her shout out, thinking that her vioce was being picked up! she turned around and said "thank you" and i was speechless.

whenever I get a drunk chic from a bridal party coming up to request a song & she is very demanding or wants a song that is completely out of the mix. I tell her as politely as I can that she should make sure that her wedding dj has the song because she will be paying him... not me! Unfortunately, I end up playing it:(
imperialenforcer 12:29 PM - 5 December, 2008
So, tonight I was setting everything up and these older women come up to booth and said, "Can you play some funk? Like that bow bow yeppie yow yeppie yea song?". Nothing wrong with that, except I hate requests, but they are clearing out the restaurant and tables and that's not really "funk" but boogie, and that isn't a bad place to start.
So, I start with a little boogie e.i. D Train, Unlimited Touch and then go into Parliment-Bop Gun, the husband comes up to the booth and says, "So these women are a little older and want to hear music from 70's and 80's."......
Basically I told him that this came out in '77 and the rest is in that era too. Then the wife came up and said can you play something I can dance to?....................... <- I hate that one.
"People dance to the waltz"
"You have a really bad aditude!"
"I'm sorry that's just a horrible request, I'm not sure what your tastes are. You tell me 'something that you can dance to' what does that mean?"
"it means something with a beat"
"Um... modern pop music has a beat. Most have a pronounced beat as well."
"Well, can you play that apple bottom jeans song?"
"This isn't a top 40 or hip hop night, this mainly an obscure/nu-disco night with soul influence."
"Oh can you play the bee gee's then?" (because she heard disco)
"No, I'm sorry, I need to get back to work."

UGHHH! I swear women are horrible! The worst is playing to a left over crowd that really doesn't know what the night is. They treat you like a juke box and expect that you will play whatever they want. I don't play for people coming off the street to expect me to play what is being played on MTV! I play music that might be different or new, fun never the less, but if you want to listen to usher please sit in your car and turn on the radio.
Caramac 1:56 PM - 5 December, 2008
Lol. I feel your pain. I had something like that. I just say yeah no problems and when they come up 40 mins later I'm like did you hear your song?

No did you play it?
Yeah about 10 mins ago. Where were you?
I must have been in the other room.
Oh so you're cheating on me with another dj then?
you're funny. (bats eyelids) Can you play it again.
I would but I get in trouble with management if I play songs twice. You want anything else.
umm you got any Beyonce?
yeah which one?
Umm I don't know the newest one?
Lol no problems coming right up.
Thank you mr dj.

Idiotchick: Can you play the cupid shuffle?

Me: No, I'm sorry but I don't even have that song.

Idiotchick: What? How can you not have that song!

Me: Because its a horrible song, and its like two years old.

Idiotchick: You have the computer right there, just download it.

Me: I can't.

Idiotchick: Yes you can. You need to play the cupid shuffle.

Me: I'm sorry, I really don't have it. Is there something else you want to hear?

Idiotchick: (bats eyelids while touching my arm) Can't you just play the cupid shuffle for me?

Me: No.

Idiotchick: (showing a look of disgust on her fugly face) Well then can you play some Shakira?

Me: Yeah, ok bye. (doesn't end up playing Shakira)

Today some dude said: "Play Don´t Cha." I responded: "I don´t have that track" (even though I got it, I just felt insulted). "Play don´t cha! My girl wants to hear it!"
I said: "Do you see a coin slot somewhere in my face were you can simply put a quarter in? I am NOT a jukebox!"

Another dude:"Narcotik".
Me:"Whole sentence please!"
Dude:"Please play Narcotik"
Me: "I don´t have it!"

Many times claiming not to have a song is easier than explaining why not playing it!

I've been doing a latin after-work party on Fridays for a few months now and although I'm not as intimate with the music as I am with other genres, I'm getting to know and like it just the same....

I was in a nice classic Salsa set and I kept dropping out the bass and everyone was doing the "salsa clap" til I brought it back in.. it was fun... and standing out like a sore thumb was this angry chick with a wicked limp staring up at me. She comes over with a mean look on her face and asked for some "Real Spanish Music" I had no idea what she meant, but everyone else was dancing... she then leaves and comes back 10 minutes later with a LIST of about 5 artists and songs written on a moist length of toilet paper... (which I refused to touch)

ME: "Hey, I don't come to your job with a list of demands written on toilet paper do I?"

Laz219 1:05 AM - 21 December, 2008
A couple of nights ago, playing a place where the people can get right in front of me (think a few inches from my tables/laptop)so I'm playing some fairly mainstream electro and a guy comes up to ask what song was playing. I tryed to tell him but he couldn't hear my properly so I just pointed to the side it was on so he could read it for himself...so that was all good.

About half an hour later, same guy comes because he liked another song I was playing, this time he didn't ask..he just pulled out his phone, leant over my turntables (which made me nervous as) and took a photo of the name/artist. Was cueing up the next song so I just chose to ignore it (plus it was another really well known song/mix so I didn't really care) Aother half hour or so passed and I saw him making his way towards me again, phone ready. I quickly turned on trainspotter mode and put my headphones on. He came over, looked over the screen to get a picture, couldn't figure out where the names had gone...got a disappointed look and walked away.

I don't mind telling people what I'm playing, just didn't like that he wasn't even going to ask.
Laz219 1:08 AM - 21 December, 2008
I actually noticed one argument against the colored serato vinyl too, I was using 1 red one blue that night...The bright colors kept getting peoples attention so they'd come over to look. Had one drunk idiot come up...turn around to his friend and say "How cools this...a red record" while point at it...hit the tonearm, stylus flew all over the record and now is completely shattered. I've never seen a stylus so messed up. Luckily it was last song and that te organiser is paying to replace it.

LAST NIGHT, a girl complained when I played Beyonce - Single ladies. She said "Its weird that a married woman is singing about Single ladies..." and then I burst her bubble like... "Well, This is one of the hottest tracks in the club right now, everyone is dancing and Beyonce/Jay-Z still claim they didnt get married so FUCK OFF YOU STUPID snowbunny CUNT!" hahhahahaha

Had a simliar thing earlier in the year but it still irks me that someone would take their time to come and say this.

No I don't what do you want.
I'm tired of hearing all this black music
Well then fuck off.

I've had this once before and it bothered me just as much then as it did now.

Caramac 5:17 PM - 21 December, 2008
To be honest the first time it happened I didn't really have anything smart to say and again last night I was kind of dumbstruck. I know there are racists in this world some more extreme than others but why would you go up to a dj in a mixed crowd club on an rnb night and complain about hearing too much black music?!?! Just go home or better yet my venue has two rooms. One for rnb the other for pop cheesey stuff. It's not my fault all the girls are in my room!!
frost-9 4:57 AM - 22 December, 2008
That guy was probably out of line Caramac, and I have had people say that to me.. hell, I don't even like half the garbage I have to play. To someone that doesn't like hiphop, going out is probably pretty difficult these days, you either suffer through music you don't like, or you hang out in an old man bar. Hip Hop is to the the late 90's, and every year post 2000 as cheesy dance music was to the early to mid 90's. It's everywhere, and difficult to escape. Obviously saying "do you not know any white people" is just plain retarded, but I can sometimes understand the frustration people have. Luckily your venue has two rooms.
Audio1 7:27 AM - 22 December, 2008
telling people to fuck off is the right thing to say, given the situation. Last night (Novakane was a witness to this)... I play "Boyz N Da Hood" by Eazy-E. The crowd loves it but one girl was not having it. She walks up and yells "Hey, Can you play 2008 hiphop?" and I told her "FuCK OFF!" He walked away and next track I played was "Pop Champagne", and then I point at her and yell "2008, BITCH!" we were rolling.... Now, If she would have been courteous, I would have been like, Yes, I will get back to current music within 1-2 tracks, but the bitch was snirky and hella rude, so FUCK OFF is great from my standpoint. I dont bitch ass people (male/female/whatever) the benefit of the doubt. If a DJ is rocking the club, At least come up with a decent request or shut up and dance!
frost-9 8:55 AM - 22 December, 2008
yeah Audio, that happened to me a couple weeks ago.. I dropped bleeding love for a verse (was a request) and some girl runs up and says.. can't you play something new that's upbeat and not depressing, like Kanye - Heartless? ---- taken back by the fact that she considered 91 bpm upbeat and the subject matter in Heartless being less depressing than bleeding love, I just looked at her like she had recently suffered a severe head injury and went back to work..
Caramac 10:31 AM - 22 December, 2008
Oh I can understand that not everyone likes rap music etc it's just an out and out bad minded thing to say. I mean what response do you expect from a comment like that?

I had a few other random ones that night as well but that one took the biscuit. Lol one girl came in and you can just tell that within the next 5 minutes she's going to be up and asking for Miss Independent at 10pm. She's got that look on her face lol.

Sure enough within the next 5 minutes she's up saying that she wants to hear something different.

Like what?
Um Ne Yo's new one?
Mad?
No the other one?
Miss Independent?
Yeah next?
No not next but soon?
Why not next because it's a top club tune I'm not playing it at 10pm. Don't worry you'll hear it.
But we're leaving in ten minutes
Then you'll miss the song then won't you.
I'm going to have a word with the owner.
Go on then. Be my guest he's over there.

She didn't do shit.

Lol Djing whilst jet lagged is not a good look. I had no paitience this weekend.

I'm down with electro but I just can't get with MGMT. All I think about whenever I hear MGMT is Len with that Steal My Sunshine song and stupid video with the mopeds. The worst part about the whole request was that it fit. BPM was on, gener was on, crowd was on, everything was on. I just don't like MGMT. And I did play it but only because of who asked for it. Cute girls lookin' all cute and shit.

My Saturday nights are a mix of dance and top 40 stuff all night. So there's a good amount of EVERYTHING mixed in. I think it was around 11:15 and the dancefloor was fully packed.



I was playing an uptempo remix of Drop It Like Its Hot with a bunch of other high-energy top40ish stuff. And this chick keeps yelling "aye Deejay" from the side of the booth. So I finally go over on that side and ask her what's up.

Girl: Can you play some rap?
Me: Is there specific song you wanna hear?
Girl: I don't know...like real rap...like Soulja B (gets cut off)
Me: No, Soulja Boy sucks. What else?
Girl: Can you play ANY rap?
Me: I've been playing a lot of it, its just not being played right now. You'll hear it again at some point, but I'm not play any one genre all night.
Girl: Can you play "Drop It Like Its Hot"?
Me: Can you not hear what's being played right now?
Girl: But this is different, can you play the original.
Me: I would have, but you just wasted the time I could've used to play the original. I gotta go...

dunkle 10:44 PM - 29 December, 2008
So, the spot was hot. The two other djs and I were going record for record. We had four turntables going and the shit was bananas. Everybody was dancing. The place where we were at is known for house music and we were definitely NOT playing house music. It was a free for all of music. Every mix was straight off the cuff since I no idea what song was going to be playing when it was my turn again. The people were bugging out! At some point these two girls come up and ask when we were going to start playing house. One of the other djs, who is known to play house at this spot that is known for house, told them in no uncertain terms "If you want house music tonight, you better take your ass somewhere else!". The irony of the situation just killed me. Maybe you have to know him to see the comedy in the statement but I about hit the floor with laughter.

On another note, I had a short encounter with one of the most ignorant people I think I've ever encountered while djing. Oh, by the way, it was the same night mentioned above. I had just dropped "Rich Girl" by Hall & Oats when....

Randumb Dude: Hey, I like what you guys are doing but could you not play anymore Rick James.
Me: What, when did Rick James get played?
Randumb Dude: You're playing Rick James right now. Could you not play him anymore? But I love what you're doing.
Me: What the fuck are you talking about!?!
Randumb Dude: Rick James, please don't play anymore Rick James.
Me: Seriously, you think this is Rick James? WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU! You don't know the difference between Hall & Oats & Rick James! GO AWAY! (More expletives were thrown about but I can't remember them all.)
Randumb Dude scurries away in shame.

Normally I just blow that kinda thing off with a shrug and a "sure man, whatever you want". But for whatever reason dude hit a nerve and I wasn't having it.

nah man, I just wasn't in love with the "fight the power" attitude you seem to have regarding stomping on an established house night, which, from my understanding are quite rare these days. listening to a segment of one of your myspace mixes it sounds like you're knee deep in the hipster sound. I personally would rather listen to a good house set then hear Blue Monday butchered for an eternity, but to each their own. If you rocked the crowd, you rocked the crowd. Whatever.

dunkle 10:48 PM - 30 December, 2008
Dear Frost-9,

"Fight the power attitude". I don't even know what that means. Let me try to explain this to you so you understand the point.

First, the other dj who made the statement is a very well known dj in the world of house music. Since you're from the house scene (or have a deep appreciation for house music) I will assume you know something about Florida Breaks from the mid 90's. This guy was a resident at both the Orlando and Miami (or was it Ft. Lauderdale) "Edge" (known for house and pretty much the birth place of Florida Breaks). He toured extensively through out Europe and America. Hell, he even went on tour with Motley Crew. Dude has put out house records and even ran his own label at one point. He is one of the reasons that the spot is known for house and it's his night that, as you so nicely put it, "I kicked in the nuts". So to hear him, him of all people, tell someone that no house music will be played that night stuck me as one of the most ridiculous comments I had ever heard while djing. The point of this thread.

In no way was the story meant to attack house music or a house music night. I'm sorry your panties got all twisted because you read more into it than what was written.

Second, thanks for checking out my myspace page. I'm glad to see you're picking apart a mix that was done live on the air of the radio show almost a year ago. That's cool, I aint mad at cha'. I never claimed to be the greatest dj. Did you download the mix tape? That one is all live and in one take as well. You probably won't like because its "knee deep in the hipster sound". Sorry for branching out and playing something new and or different. Here I thought the idea of being a dj was to expose people to music (both new and old) in ways they had never heard it before. Maybe if ever song I played had a 16 bar intro then every mix would be perfect. I was really hoping to see what you had to offer but, alas, no links to anything from your profile. So I can't make any witty comments about what you do since whatever it is you do you keep to yourself.

But seriously, if you were going to pick apart anything on my myspace page you should have gone with how my name was misspelled on the Christmas Party flyer. Now that's some funny shit. You could have gotten a whole thread of "you dj so bad jokes" from that alone.

Idlemind1999 3:27 PM - 31 December, 2008
About a week or two ago, some chick was asking for a song, it fit in with the direction i was going, so I played it... then maybe an hour later while in some old school reggae, she asked me if i had a card, so I gave it to her. Then about 10 min after that, I get a Text:

"Thanks for playing my song...See you next week."


We are rarely appreciated for our efforts, so I glad that someone thought to say thanks.

about 2 weeks later I was an a totally different club and doing the "dumb radio hits" to get them out of the way, and I get a text... You're doing a great job, thanks...

I txt back THANKS...


I didnt realize it was from the same chick, since I didnt save the number.. but I was in a different city and theres no way she could have known where i was..

Later that night I was packing up (one of those places that closes earlier than in the city) and I get another text:

"Thanks for the CD, Can you play my song again? I'll see you next week"


It all started to make sense, She must have a bunch of DJs in her phone, and thats her way to get her songs played. She wasnt sending me messages on purpose, they were meant for whoever was spinning where ever she was.

I wonder how they are all listed in there... :

I was playing at my resident club New Years Eve and around 1:00 am this chic comes up to and says to me " Hey Do you have a mic? " I said yes and then she tells me " Hey I lost my brother can you turn down the music and tell him to meet me up at the dj booth"

I just laughed straight to her face.

What nerve some drunk chics got
agentorange 1:12 AM - 3 January, 2009
i was spinning in a lounge/club in L.E.S. and some girl grabbed me out of the booth without me looking and pulled me into the bathroom (which was 10 feet away) i still had my headphones on. the cord stretched all the way out. hahah that shit was funny.

i think she was requesting to give me a blowjob.
Jesus Christ 1:19 AM - 3 January, 2009
This is a great read. Thanks for all the input guys.

So, New Year's Eve in Hollywood and some girl comes up at 11:30 and asks, "how do you get back there?" There's an Employee Only entrance to the back hallway that leads to the DJ booth. I told her "Practice a lot!" She looks confused and asks "can you give a shoutout to my friends? They're newlyweds." I said "No. I don't have a mic." I really didn't. Thank goodness I had the countdown pre-recorded. She says "Please? Just a quick shoutout. They're nice people." So I turned down the monitor in the booth and yelled "I donnn'tttt haaaaave aaaaaa miiicrophoooone!!!" I thought she got it when she walked away.

10 minutes goes by and I feel a pat on the back. I turn and see one of the bouncers. I said what's up and we exchanged pleasantries. He leans back and points behind the curtain and says "Hey man, this is a really good friend of mine and she wanted to give a quick shoutout to her peeps." Halfway through his sentence I saw who it was and my smile quickly faded. I said "Bro, I already told her that I don't have a microphone. Unless she wants me to stop the music and let her yell her shoutout, we're fucked! Happy New Year."

I turned around and put my headphones back on. I didn't wait for a response.

she even got on the mic and started talkin' shit!

i have never seen her like that before. i went to visit her in the morning and she was like "fuck you... dont talk to me, im so hung over!" good times!
DVDjHardy 8:47 AM - 3 January, 2009
Tonight was full of numbnuts running rampant at the bar.

Keep in mind that this is my 4th (out of 5) night in a row spinning, and add in the stress of a hard drive failure before NYE (which was sort of resolved), a round trip flight for 2 of the gigs, stress of making it to my parents for my mom's birthday and finding a gift in between this stuff, and then being asked to show up an hour early tonight for the gig by the owner, only to wait later than the usual start time to be able to play anything...all I had to give up was my only chance to go have dinner over this holiday break with my close friends.

It was a really packed night (which is why I was called in earlier) because the DJ on Saturday nights is moving to LA and this was his going away party. His name is ChrisCo - pretty cool guy. He had a ton of people out and a few of them were cool, but most were just annoying as fuck. 3 requests stood out the most:

1. 1st random guy walks up to me.

RG1: Yo gimme your mic, I wanna hype up the crowd.
Me: I don't think so.
RG!: I've been doing it all night, "When I say Chris, you say (Co)"
Me: Nobody besides me or Chris gets to talk on the mic.
RG1: Come on man, it'll be sweet.
Me: Sorry, its not gonna happen.

2. Another Random guy walks up to me.

RG2: Yo Hardy, play Gin n' Juice for ChrisCo.
Me: (Looking to see if I know this guy...Nope). Umm...sure. (I love the song)
RG2: Play it next, alright?
Me: No, it won't be next.
RG2: Why?
Me: Because I have to make it sound good...I'm not a juke box.
RG2: (Has this weird-looking smirk on his face) You don't know me, do you?
Me: No
RG2: Whatever man...just play my song like I said.
Me: (Headphones back on...thinking to myself how it sucks that I'm gonna get to play this song now...)

3. I'm playing "Music Sounds Better With You". 2 relatively hot chicks who've been dancing (I'm way above the floor) sort of below me come up to me.

Chicks: (Without me even making eye contact) NO MORE TECHNO, WE CAN'T DANCE TO THIS!
Me: (Not saying a WORD, just look at them like they're retarded.)
Chicks: There are some hot bitches down there who really want to hear that Jamie Foxx song...
Me: (Still not saying anything, its not gonna make things any easier if I get involved in this conversation)
Chicks: Play it next!
Me: May be later, its a slow song and it won't work right now.
Chicks: Just do it, we will dance to it!
Me: (Ignore, Ignore, Ignore...)

A few minutes later their friend (I think her name was Mini Van) came up to request the same song.

MiniVan: Can you play that song "I love her because..." I'm too drunk to know the artist. But its a remix of "Miss Independent".
Me: I just told your friends, I'll try to work it in later.
MiniVan: Just play it NOW, I'll pay you.
Me: No thanks, I don't need your money.
MiniVan: Whatever, I'll pay you $100.
Me: OK, let's see the $100.
MiniVan: (Tries to act like she's gonna pull it out of her purse while I calmly watch it all go down)
Me: (About to put my headphones back on and get to mixing)
MiniVan: Do you want me to run to the ATM across the street just to get your $100? I'll pay you...just play my song!
Me: I didn't ask for $100, you offered it.
MiniVan: Mumbles something dumb under her stinky breath and walks away all pissed off.

I thought that would be it...but they send their guy friend this time, who was as polite as possible and asked if I'd play it. I said sure, later on. He said "thanks" and walked back to the bitches....

Amazing, no retards were harmed while this evening went down.

Saying that I had one request yesterday for some girls aloud. It's not really the request it was just that she was so rude. She kept saying the night was shit and that she only wanted one song. I told her I didn't have it did she want anything else but no she kept moaning and moaning. I got bored and told her to go over the other side of the room as she was getting on my nerves.

Long thread - funny. Defitnely on the T-shirt bit. It is no mystery that a DJ will never please every person that comes into the club, especially as they become incrfeasingly inebriated. I have found that support from the manager is key to taking and responding to requests - in those situations where you are not lucky enough to be in a closed or suspended booth. Idea for T-shirt 1) ALL REQUESTS BEING TAKEN AT THE BAR.

Annoying commonalities: ANYONE RELATE HERE?

1) Can you play that song that goes like this!? (attemtping to provide personal version)
2) What was the name of that song you played earlier?
3) I'm leaving soon; can you hurry up and play my request (already mentioned but TRUE)
4) Requesting techno during rap sets and vice versa.
5) Do you have that song where it says (add anything here)
6) Can you play something with a beat (any opera or all acapella DJ's out there?)
7) Play something I can dance to (already mentioned but again TRUE)
8) Asking to play a song that was played within the past 15 minutes because they were in the bathroom and wanted to dance to it.
9) Everybody wants to hear (no polls taken)
10) Can you play one more song (lights are on and you are putting away your gear)

No, the guy who owns that place stopped spinning on Saturdays because it was too busy for him to handle that + managing everything by himself. So this guy who normally played on Thurs nights started playing on Sat nights. I think Andy might be playing Saturdays from now on...

No idea who that guy was...I kinda asked myself if I was supposed to know him. Found him on some of the facebook pics from that night..definitely don't know who he is. I'm guessing he knows the owner and thinks he's VIP. I was in the guy's wedding...LOL. Oh well.

Me: "Thank you, I try to do my best to achieve that goal, just doing my job ma'am"

We don't have a thread for when things go great (we should, though). I just had maybe the best night of my life in terms of spinning. Every single song hit the crowd hard, they were lovin it. The best looking girl in the bar asked me to go home with her (I have a longterm girlfriend I care about so I had to decline) and she was requesting great tunes. That was difficult to turn down.

I gave out about 30 cards to people, had only great requests, the owner were texted to me to tell me how great a job I did, the promoter was loving what I did. It was just a really perfect night. Plus I got asked to DJ a Playboy party next week!

Caramac 12:57 PM - 10 January, 2009
Why is it when you think you're having the shittest night ever people think you're the greatest.

For some reason I couldn't find a load of tunes. I had to manually find them on my external drive then drag them back over to get them to play. It wasn't so bad. I just had to be a bit more creative and think of other stuff to play.

Anyway went to the toilet and I over heard one guy talking saying the DJ is wicked. I think of a song I really want to hear and 2 mins later its on. Lol.

Just woke up now and am on FaceBook and this girl is telling me how her mates went down to my club for the 1st time and were loving the music.

I thought I was having a pretty awful night lol.
sopranosupasta 2:37 PM - 10 January, 2009

A year ago, I was asked to spin a cast & crew party for a movie that was close to wrapping. One of the Production Assitants kept asking to use the microphone, acting very blonde and very drunk. There was a microphone in the booth, but it wasn't mine, and the resident sound guy wasn't even there to get it up and patched through. She grabbed the microphone and started trying to karaoke and give shouts to her friends, but she was so tanked I don't think she even noticed it wasn't coming through the soundsystem. I could hear her, but the rest of the room couldn't. Those that could see her had this "what's SHE on?"- look. After a couple of minutes, I looked closer at the soundboard behind the booth and found a "mic" rotary and brought it up, and her voice shook the entire room and she stepped off in embarrassment. She dropped the mic on my mixer, and I swear there was drool on it.

Later on, she tried to come back and reached for the turntables and tried her idea of "scratching". Her co-workers dragged her away at that point, and the party was about over anyway.

Isn't it?
Nah what fucking rock have you been living under for the past 5 years or so?
Oh. I don't get out much.
(lol. Realising I probably hurt her feelings) I said no worries go over there and dance.

I then played in the club for her as I was shocked and stunned and shocked some more. She looked well happy when it had finished.

Lol.

Last night was weird....

Some chick wrote down her sister's number for me on a napkin relatively early in the night...LOL. She said this is from the "blonde girl over there". An hour or two later the blonde chick comes over and introduces herself.

Her: Hi, I'm Beth..
MeL What up...I know, your friend over there wrote down your number for me...LOL
Her: How old are you?
Me: 27
Her: Ooooh, see I'm 36.
Me: Cool (But thinking, not really...LOL)
Her: We should party after you're finished spinning here!
Me: Um, yeah....see I gotta drive like 60 miles back to my place and I've had a pretty long day. Some other time though!
Her: (frowns) Its because I'm too old isn't it....(goes on forever..then proceeds to basically be my private go-go dancer for a few minutes)

I'm drinking coffee (because I really was tired and had a long drive ahead of me) and this chick spilled some of it on the 57 because she bumped into me. So I wiped it off with the napkin that her # was written on. The chick gets piseed about that and says, "That is soooo mean, why'd you do that? I just laughed it off and got back to spinning while she continued to be a ho and kept dancing around me...LOL.

Later on, my friend who owns this place told me that she owns a day care across the street and that she's married....WTF!

Lol couples in a club and alcohol can be a dangerous combination. I had a similar thing where this one guy asked for Ne Yo - Mad. I was like I'll see.

Had a huge house-party this weekend. I did hip hop, my friend did electro / house, another friend did nothing but pure 80s hits. When I did my set, one of the first 5 songs was single ladies because I instantly got requests for it as soon as I started with the hiphop / RNB. I figured I'd "Get it out of the WAY." So about 30 minutes later this girl comes up to me and asks....
Girl "Do you take any requests?"
ME: Depends, what were you thinking of?
Girl: Beyonce - Single Ladies
ME: I literally just played that half an hour ago, sorry you got here late.
Girl: Oh yeah I heard it, I just wanted to hear it again!!
ME: I doubt that'll happen
Girl: Pleaaaaaaaase?
ME: How about another song? (trying to be nice)
Girl: The cupid shuffle?
ME: Sorry you definitely won't be hearing either of those two songs the rest of the night.
Then about 2 minutes later she comes up with a hot girl and has the hot girl try to tell me that "EVERYONE" wants to hear Single Ladies.
ME: Sorry I can't play the same song tonight, I have a lot of songs I need to play.
Hot Girl: (To her friend) See I told you....

I'm doing this upbeat 100-125bpm hip hop set and this random guy walks up to me WHILE I'm mixing and starts tapping me.

Him: Hey bro can you play this track...
-- He starts typing on his phone (an older flip phone)
Him: Here listen to this... (puts the phone up to my ear)
-- I'm listening and it's some super slow beat that I've NEVER heard of before and the sound quality was so bad that I couldn't even make out what (if anything) was being said PLUS I had my music loud on my speakers so Speakers vs Cell phone.
ME: Dude, I have no idea what this is. I've never heard it before.
Him: Are you serious?? You don't have this track??
ME: I don't think so, who is it by? (Thinking it might be in one of my promo only folders)
Him: Oh, I don't know. I found it on a mixtape online and uploaded the track to my phone. Can you try to play it?
ME: Sorry bro, I don't have time for this right now.
Him: *sigh* ok.

I don't get people!? If you are going to make a request, at least make it something you know the name of the artist/song. I have a lot of obscure tracks on my laptop so I'm willing to listen to requests but asking for a song off an ONLINE MIXTAPE????

Then about 2 minutes later she comes up with a hot girl and has the hot girl try to tell me that "EVERYONE" wants to hear Single Ladies.
ME: Sorry I can't play the same song tonight, I have a lot of songs I need to play.
Hot Girl: (To her friend) See I told you....


Proper response here is to point to the hot girl and say, "Is she a bribe for me? If I play it are you giving her to me to do with what I want? If that's the case, I'll play it...(turn to the hot girl and say, "but then you and I are going upstairs."

Lol one guy always asks me 5 mins to close to play some inappropiate house song. Anyway last weekend he's asking me for some song that I reply with the usual never heard of it. I have some rnb/rap/reggae if you want to hear anything like that.

He asks do you have (insert song name here)
Nah never even heard of it (I know a few house songs but this one I honestly didn't know)
What do you mean?
Never heard of it. Bruv we do this each week. I don't play house come on.
Ok can I have Snap?
We close in 5 mins and you want Snap?
Yeah ride on time
Lol come ask me earlier next week and I'll play you a snap set.

2 mins later he's back shoving his iPhone in my face. I take a second to focus and realise he's got google on the screen.

Thats the song and theres the artist.
Oh okay. I'll try and check it in the week.
You going to play it then?
nah I don't have it.
You haven't looked in your laptop
Is it house?
No not really.
is it rap
no
is it rnb
no
is it reggae
no it's like (makes house drum programme with mouth)
sounds like house plus I know I don't have that artist in my crates.
Ok

30 seconds later

You can download it
Don't have interconnection

10 seconds later

ARRRRHH I can download it and then send it to you.
Nah mate I'm not plugging anything into my laptop
Come on everyone will love it
(Shudders) This is the last song now. Come and ask me early next week and I'll play something for you.

I had some fine girl walk up to me last friday while I was playing. The typical dressed up south beach girl who looks like shes way too fine to be in the bar I play at... So she comes up and hands me a folded napkin... Im thinking, great, probably a Britney request. So shes waiting for me to open it, so I do:

"Will you marry me? - Sophia"

Im stunned, and shes still staring at me, and finally asks me "So???"

All I can reply with, is what probably came off as a very sarcastic 'Yes, yes I will.'

She giggled and walked off when I didnt ask for a # or initiate any further conversation... after all, I was DJing..

At one bar I play at I had a bouncer (from Estonia) come up and start bitching me out about the music.

This is while there's a full bar of people dancing. I told him that it wasn't his job. He stormed off and I saw him talking to my manager.

The manager comes up and said, "So I'm going to lay off (his name) I think. He's an idiot." Ahh, fun.

hahaha the same thing happen to me too. They hired a new bouncer who was a huge metal freak. So one night I was doing my thing and he storms the gate waving his hands to get my attention. I'm in the middle of the mix and he invades the booth. Dude says man this music is for "slur" and I looked at him like damn you serious?? Fuck outta my face with that nonsense. Do you not see this is a mix of young and grown people of all ethnicities? He says to me dude please play some Pantera or Slipknot. Just shook my head and threw the headphones back on. Dude went and told the manager and he came to me asked what happen. He said no worries, this his last night anyways, he getting canned!!!!

The power of alcohol really hit my crowd last night.....I know we all have gotten it but its been awhile since I've gotten a redonk request.

Drunk Girl: You are so awesome!
Me: Thanks. What you want to hear sweetie?
Drunk Girl: Do you have Spanish music?
Me: Of Course
Drunk Girl: Macarena NOW! Please!!!!!!!!!
Me: Have 20 more drinks and drive home

Then while I'm in the middle of mixing some Pitbull heaters....
Dude: I want to hear some shit I can dance to.
Me:(Pointing to the two dance floors I have packed) Well you can join them. What you want to hear?
Dude: Can you please play some Coldplay Viva La Vida or Human by The Killers? (Mind you Im mixing between Shake and The Anthem)
Me: Ummmm That would be a NO. I played them about 2 hours ago.
Dude: Well can you play American music?
Me: Have 20 more drinks and drive home

Needless to say I needed a fresh Crown and Coke after they both came over.
Caramac 6:59 PM - 25 January, 2009
Lol at have 20 more drinks.

Has anyone noticed that the more they hear these dumb universal comments and questions the more it irritates them? I find myself shuddering and seeing red mist when I hear.....

''call yourself a dj''
''everyone will dance''
etc etc.

this wasn't while djing per se but still funny as hell. quick background, i've been roommate with this dude for about A YEAR while going to college at the point this convo happens (i had the same turntables the entire time).

i can't rem if i was messing with the turntable or we were just sitting around, but roomie asks me why i need the tonearm/needle on the turntable i give him the obvious wtf look and explain how a turntable works. apparently he thought the platter light was a laser that was reading the records! i asked him how he thought the laser was able to track where it's supposed to be on the record and he really didn't have an answer. i was pretty much too stunned to laugh.

the tables are pdx2000's. i can almost see it on 1200's since they pop up (not really but trying to empathize), but the pdx light's are just little pop on types into an rca connector. crazyness

this is what happens when you download your music, kids.

So now I get to add to the iPhone trend...

Last night I'm rockin a club and these two idiots come up to me and ask me for "FLOOR RIDER - WHITE ROUND" LOL

I knew what song they were talking about (Flo Rida - Right Round) but I didn't wanna play it (because it sucks) so I told them I didn't have. Wouldn't you know it, they come back 5 minutes later with an iPhone asking me to plug it into my laptop and saying "It's 2009, just play it off my iPhone, you can plug it into your laptop"
So I had to tell them, "Yeah it's 2009, but I don't know you and I don't know what you have on your phone and the last thing I need is a virus on my computer"

So I played the other stupid Flo-Rida song instead and that kept them satisfied...LOL

WHAT A MISTAKE!!!

For about 1month after she kept harrasing me while I was spinning, and I could not get her to F*%^ off... (I wasnt going to go there again as she had showed me she cut herself etc... I got myself into a real situation) Anyway after a month I was sick of her, so I got her banned from the nightclub for 6 months. Thank god. Anyway she came back about 6 months later and said she was sorry and what not and told me she got engaged.

Hmmph!!!

I usually play @ a bar in the hood, but last night I did a guest spot at a Private party at someones (very nice) House and got my first Phone request. I think it was a Instinct, and dude had the little pic with ALBUM ART and everything - asked for a obscure MC Breed track called Seven???

Crowd was lite, and I was lazy and instead of plugging in my Mac, the other DJ said you can just play off my laptop (Windows and I am a mac guy). I do a couple searches, and nope no MC Breed except "Ain't No Future".

Guy then asks - "Well can I plug my phone into your laptop??" I say "it's his laptop and I don't have a cord but you can ask him". I watch dude walk over to the other DJ and dude gets the "get the fuck outta here conversation - LOL.

On a side note, I now know why I spend time tagging and working on my library - dude had more pink tracks in his library than playable ones - crazy.
Caramac 5:02 PM - 1 February, 2009
Lol I had the iPhone request a few weeks ago. Not had one since luckily.

Anyway this weekend. I had some good compliments (shock horror). One girl came upto me with the I want to hear some Britney look on her face so I brace myself for 2 mins of explaining why I don't have her tune why I'm still a dj etc etc. So she goes I just wanted to say I've been married to a dj for 13 years and apart from going to his nights this is the 1st time I've been out in years and liked the way the dj is playing. I was like er ok cheers. She then smiled and walked off.

Shortly after some drunk girl came up to ask me something and poked me in the eye. The ying and yang in the universe was restored.

Girl comes up the other night and says something unintelligible that ended with the word "girls" and the word Nelly. I said, "Huh?" Same thing...I asked, "Promiscuous girl?"

"No no, by Nelly!"

"Um, ok, you're gonna have to speak english."

"Let me see your girls by Nelly"

"Yeah um...I'm pretty sure there's no such song. I'm gonna assume you mean Grillz...which I probably won't play, but if I do, it'll be in about 20 minutes."

She walks over to 2 or 3 of her friends who are not more than 5 feet away from the DJ Booth. Less than 30 seconds later, one of her friends comes over and says (perfectly clearly) "Um...can you play Let Me See Your Girls by Nelly?"

I said, "If you can come back to me and tell me the correct name of the song, I'll play it."

"Let me see your girls."

"I don't have any girls, and Nelly doesn't have a song called let me see your girls."

That was the last I saw of her.

My friend was playing a dubstep set at a house party the other day, we just rolled up at 5AM. Some girls asked for that Lady Gaga track and he laughed and explained all he had were couple dubstep vinyl he still had in the bag. The power was turned off bout half hour later and we found out the girls were the ones who lived in a house- should have satisfied their request..

Also worth note this weekend, I dropped that Geiko commercial song, Somebody's Watchin Me, mostly at a joke but I thought people would recognize it and dance to it....No. People stopped dancing, and didnt leave the floor, they just stood there and looked confused. I mixed out and its like they unfroze and came back to life.

I was floored...I told her I get those printed by the thousand how could that mean I had anything to do with her??? She started to yell and I just cut her off told her I was only 16 ( I was at the time ) she kept calling me a liar and threatening this and that... then my phone 'died'....

that crap makes my blood boil. I f'n LOATHE top 40 bitches that think anything more then 5 minutes old is done, especially when the majority of new music sucks ass. I would have called her out and asked what she thought the next 20 minutes of music should include. She'd likely stop after naming whatever track is getting canned 900 times a day on the radio..

You get paid Hundreds every fucking night and all you spend on music is fucking £1!!! You tight arse lol.

alright this is a crazy one

one night I was Spinning @ My former residency I was approached by a woman

woman: Hey my friend thinks your wicked hottt how old are you
me: oh im 19


Maybe it's because I'm older than 19 and this has happened multiple times to me but this doesn't sound crazy in the least bit. I even re-read it to make sure I didn't miss something. :)


Lol that sounds pretty standard to be fair.


I guess you had to be there, But the punch was she came up to me like we had something going on and her boyfriend wanted to beat my ass then had the nerve to request a song shit to me this chick off on another planet

I hate people who think that "Last Night" by Diddy and "The Way I Are" by Timbo are NEW songs. Those are almost two years old. They don't clasify under new. GOSH!!! It happens a lot.

I had some fine girl walk up to me last friday while I was playing. The typical dressed up south beach girl who looks like shes way too fine to be in the bar I play at... So she comes up and hands me a folded napkin... Im thinking, great, probably a Britney request. So shes waiting for me to open it, so I do:

"Will you marry me? - Sophia"

Im stunned, and shes still staring at me, and finally asks me "So???"

All I can reply with, is what probably came off as a very sarcastic 'Yes, yes I will.'

She giggled and walked off when I didnt ask for a # or initiate any further conversation... after all, I was DJing..

oops!


dude if she was THAT hot i would have left the booth and went on to live a very happy 24 hours there after lmao.



I hear you, but im not in the habbit of bagging bar skanks, especially ones who will walk up to a dude and be THAT forward... im not under the ego that it was just me since Im that good looking.. LOL
Caramac 2:53 PM - 18 February, 2009
Not sure why I thought of this now. But I'm playing something mid tempo ish Danger by Mystikal. Got it pitched up a little and I'm dropping similar tunes and some brare comes up and starts texting in his phone. A min later he's got ''Lloyd Banks - Karma please'' I say nah not now as it's too slow. He then goes into deep concentration and starts beat boxing it a little and then says

Yeah it'll mix. It's a similar beat
No it won't it's too slow and I'm trying to warm the club up a little.
Go on.
Nah not right now I'll drop it later.
Everyone will love it.
(they don't as it goes at this club) I'm sure they would I like it but its too slow.
You haven't even tried.
I don't need to try I know it's too slow. Hold on let me mix the next tune in.

He then continues to beat box.

It goes. You can't DJ.

Not sure why this bothered me but it did so I load it up put it on the cued deck wack the pitch up to +8 and show the guy in the waveforms that it's too slow. Take it off and put on the next tune. He's like go on mate everyone will love it. I shudder. He then starts to text again in his phone for a minute or so and shows me ''Apple Bottom Jeans - Flo Rida''. Why he couldn't have just asked I have no idea.

Sorry mate too fast I'll get to it in a minute

He raps this time over the mid tempo tunes.

It goes listen, Apple Bottom Jeans Boots with the Furrrrr
Bruv it doesn't mix just because you can recite the lyrics.
It goes come on man.
Bruv go over there and dance. I'll play them in a bit.

How bout when a Hot Fine Ass Girl goes to up to You at the Club's DJ booth and flirts with you for a couple minutes, then she whispers in your hear:
"CAN YOU PLAY A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR ME?"
Ofcourse you say "ANYTHING"
She procceds to give you the WACKEST Demo from a Local Artist That Sounds like he got his beats from Babies First Casio

I must give props to the Artist... I Aleast I took a listen, but didnt play it.

I had a 1st the other night. Some chick who just got into the club (around 12ish) came up to me in the booth and started throwing out songs that I have never heard before. I told her that since I have never heard them before that its a really good chance that no one else has. She got pissed and demanded that I play her songs because she paid $5 to get in the club. She actually thought that since there was a cover that night that I would play everyone's requests. I gave her the old jukebox bit and told her to trust me.

MOST ANNOYING: Sooooo like... what do you have?
DJ Nin 5:15 PM - 20 February, 2009
I was DJing at a smaller bar about a year ago and this chick hands me a video lottery ticket to cash in. She was obviously wasted, I just pointed at the bar and told her that "They cash tickets, I play music."

No "most ridiculous" moment last night, but it's amazing how many many of these requests you can get verbatim in one evening.

"Can you play any dance music?"
"It's my friend's birthday can you stop the music at midnight for her?"
"Yo bro this girl said I'll get laid if you play a Britney Spears track."
"Do you have that one song by [band]?

I really don't let those dumb fuckers mess my night up. You just say "I got you" and let em run off and think. Was spinning in Indiana at a club and a guy gave me 50 bucks to play Sir Mix A Lot Baby got back. Why the fuck do some people still like that song? Took the 50 played it once and went back to today's music.

me: "what the fuck are you talking about?"
idiot: "you know, like mashup. Like A vs B"
me: "you mean remixes?"
idiot: "naw man, I mean like MTV mashups, like one song against another song. Don't you have any?"
me: "i need you to get off the stage now."

This sounds like the opposite of the group of dumbasses who come up and say "ain't you gonna play something new? how you ain't got stanky leg....(stupid look on their face)". I just tell 'em one second, my song is gonna end and then I never turn around until they're gone...LOL.

I've decided I need to get me some of this cash for playing a tune action. (I was going to say tip action but thought that'll probably get misquoted lol).

So what's the best plan. Say nah and point to a tip jar? Say requests are £5 each. Back them down MOP style. Pat the pockets etc lol?

Make it 50 quid. Then you get less requests and more money.

DJ_Motion 10:56 PM - 23 February, 2009
I was chilling at the bar around 9 or so and this girl about 5 feet from me asked who the DJ was... the bartender points to me and I look behind me as if he was pointing to my homie which just happened to be listening to some joints in my headphones... behind all my stuff... So she runs up there and starts asking for some "ghetto rap" this was some sorority chick and as she walked up there I act like a third party and my buddy plays along like he is the dj... So he is typing in the artist she asks for.. I remember the rapper ZERO.. Which I've never heard of.. and she's peeking around tryna type and get all in the lappy screen... SO I say.. dang.. why dont you give the dj some room and get out of his laptop.. there might be some personal info he doesnt want you to see... she's coming back with um Im talking to the dj not you type stuff... and so we keep the joke going for about 5 minutes or so... she asks for people Ive never heard of and she is saying what kind of dj are you.. you dont have this, etc... and Im out of my drink and I say.. anyhow what's your name? then I follow up with.. I have a feeling that Im gonna be seeing you alot tonight... hint hint... so I leave and my homie walks over and goes.. you want to know what she say about you after you left.. She called me a creepy dude all in her space.. true story. So I start to play around 10-10:15 and she comes up to my homie.. He was sitting on a stool blocking people from getting to me and I turn to her and give her the wtf do you want look cause her earlier comment actually was out of line... SO, i say did you need something cause I was going to be an ass back to her when she requested something.. She goes.. no, im talking to the dj.. [the dude in the stool] and she still doesnt catch on that Im the one wearing the headphones.. so later on... about 11:30.. Im rocking some dance music and she walks by and gives me the thumbs down... so I flip her off... and say fuck off you're creeping me the fuck out.. and that was the last I saw of her...

So, at the end of the night.. I was disappointed cause I never really got the chance to be a super dick head back to her.. but how dare a bitch get all in my space and tell me Im creepin her out. I really should CB'd her!

Someone mentioned it wayyyyy up there... Thong for a song, Chest for a request.

Also used this to great effect about a month or so ago...

had a girl wander in and just start randomly flipping through my backup crate, I look at her and she says "Oh can I look through your records?"
Me: Can I look through your undie drawer?
Her: No but... (G Flash) will that do?

naw it's mixed with Contractors and soldiers. The ratio is about 15dudes to ever 8 females..So yes, the half Decent female (thinks) she is queen for a year LOL. But they have a lot of fun and thing that is missing is the abiltity for them to get dressed up. Other than that it's not a bad event. Some kind of way they get their drink on...

one of my friends starts walking up to him and i stop her and ask

"ummmm, what are you doing?" (he was in the middle of his set)

"I was going to request a song"

I nodded my head no, and she started to look confused...

I said that's DJ AM... he's working (he had asked me to keep people from trying to talk to him)

I wonder how often people try to go up to DJ's like AM asking to request songs...

I also wonder what they say and what they think if/when they get requests
HYDRO MATIC 9:33 PM - 27 February, 2009

I just remembered this from a while ago... I was doin a gig with DJ AM...

one of my friends starts walking up to him and i stop her and ask

"ummmm, what are you doing?" (he was in the middle of his set)

"I was going to request a song"

I nodded my head no, and she started to look confused...

I said that's DJ AM... he's working (he had asked me to keep people from trying to talk to him)

I wonder how often people try to go up to DJ's like AM asking to request songs...

I also wonder what they say and what they think if/when they get requests



especially where alot of people dont know who he is (around here) I could see him playing y spot and people commming up asking ummm do you have any GOOD music, this sucks

Yeah, you know the one where he says, "yeah", "what", "okay" and "go girl"...


No, really I'm guessing he means "Killas".

Not that I care enough to pursue these vague song descriptions, but, its not Killas.

I get that shit like 3 times a night. I just say "write down the artist and song name when you think of it"

Had a good one last night..

Guy comes up, asks for me to play some Deadmau5. As I was scrolling through crates he was watching and comes up with "Can you burn me a CD?"...I just looked around and said "do you really think I'd have blank CD's with me?" and he actually replied "fuck off, I know you do". Repled well no I don't and even if I did no. Bastard then turned around to leave and knocked my drink over too. (lucky I keep it on a seperate table to anything important)

Also had someone kick over the (completely full) bubble machine that night and Another guy think he was heaps smart because he noticed the fogger had a button on the handle so he'd stand next to me trying to look heaps casual with his foot on it...just switched it off at the power and told him to get off it.
Oh and the power cut out mid set and I got electrocuted later. Great night.

i would never hire him for any of my clubs, plus he not dating nicole richie, so theres no celebrity status there..... its all about people wanting to see him for one reason or another..
dj aero is a great dj, him and tommy lee put on a good show, but really people just come to see tommy lee(hes such a bad ass!)
ds363 8:05 PM - 28 February, 2009
i get awesome requests, ive definitely gotten all the normal ones like, hey can you play hip hop.. while im playing hip hop. or can you play something we can dance to, and everyone is dancing. i am pretty much a dick to everyone who requests anything even my friends. One time i was playing at this relatively big nightclub where the dj booth is behind the bar and from the bar to the dance floor there's about a good 10 feet of space and a corner sofa. So through the night no one even seems to SEE that there is a BARRIER set so that no one can bother the dj. So i get dudes like waving at me from the dance floor trying to scream over the music their request, im thinking to myself jesus does it ever end? also that same night since people got the hint that i cant hear them from 10 feet away while music is blasting, they got the great idea to write their request on a napkin in unreadable handwriting and throw it at me.

i think a few weeks ago i was playing at my friday night and was really into the set i was dropping, and this girl (of course) comes up to me probably just turned 21 and said "hey can you play something like off the radio"
i replied "hey, dont you listen to that shit every day of your life?" she gives me this like confused look and says "yeah i guess". i reply with " just relax and have a good time, you can listen to the radio when u get in your car tonight, or wake up tommorow hung over as fuck remembering how great of a night this was."

and last night, im playing some up tempo club dance shit (think more bmore with a little club rap) and dudes is like "YO B PLAY SOME GANGSTARR THAT SHIT WILL POP IT OFF" im like dude that shit will kill the whole vibe, i should just bring a crappy mp3 player to the nights i play and whatever they request ill just give them headphones and hand them the player.
HA

the best one was the night i played billie jean 3 times in an hour because this middle eastern guy kept giving me 20$ to play it every time.
Laz219 10:48 PM - 28 February, 2009
I had a few last night, did a 30th birthday. Pretty much an RnB crowd, started slow for the first 45 minutes or so playing some older and slower tracks. So after I turned the lights off and got it started..I started getting all these requests for stuff I'd already played...when I tried to point that out I got told "yeh, but you got it stuck in my head so I need to hear it again"

Had another girl requesting songs and expecting me to drop them straight away. Not even when the current song finished she kept saying "come on DJ, you can remix that in" Usually if I get a good request that does fit into what I'm playing I will just say "ok, I'll try and get it on soon" Using that response to her didn't work, she'd just stand there and watch me going through my library expecting me to drop it on the second she asked.

really? you hire DJs based on their sociableness and who they're dating?
Henry GQ 5:30 AM - 1 March, 2009
thats not exactly what im saying...

theres a reason why a dj like dj am would be known in my city, and it was based on him dating nicole richie, otherwise.. people would be like dj who ?
and if i was the dj/promoter that hired dj am... i would want to at least have him take pics with my vip, make sense ? u paid his price to dj.
if i was in a position where people wanted to take pics with me, i would!. its called promoting urself, and basically building a relationship with that promoter to bring u back very soon... make sense?

and i bet if i was dating jessica alba, damn right that would bring me gigs...
it would make me a celebrity dj. so people would hire based on that. people would think that she might be there to support her man...

fuck... when tommy lee played my club, people thought that pamela anderson was gonna be there, i heard it alllll night "do u know if pamela is gonna be here ? "

Sarcasm homie, but seriously, I didnt even know that they were dating.

This is the problem; the douche-iness of the scene, getting gigs because you know some skank that happened to be the child of a famous singer. Dudes that are content to be some broad's little bitch, just to get gigs, are a huge problem with the scene. People aren't going to see DJs anymore, theyre going to see if the flavour of the month is going to be there with them, and this phenomena is shaping the way young DJs are being brought up. More concerned about the fame and making connections than working on the craft. Fuck a piggy-backing DJ bitch, the less we have of these, the easier it becomes for music to grow; See this scratchlive.net .

Whoa... hold up! AM is NO Samuel Ronson! People show up to Ronson's gigs to see Lindsay Lohan. Don't get the two mixed up. People don't go to see him because of Nicole. They've been history for YEARS! He's a talented dude and he knows his music better than 90% of the DJ's out there (if not more). I wouldn't say that dating her hurt his career. But it sure as hell didn't make it.

This is exactly what i mean, I had never associated AM with some skank "superstar", I had recognized him from some dope live performances I"ve seen on youtube.

ok, JC u better talk to god, because ...all im saying is that IN MY CITY, PEOPLE ONLY KNOW OF HIM BECAUSE OF NICOLE RITCHIE.... get it ? only in my city...
i never said he was a talentless bum' im saying.. once again... in my city people know him because of nicole rithcie(i hope i made myself clear)
plus without her he would have never been on tv like he is now.... he definately wouldnt be on a national stage like he is without her.
fuck i would date roise odonell just to get my name out there like that.. i think.

and while ur up there why dont u blow him ?
i mean ur all in his ass tryin to defend him!!??

and just to let u know... who the fuck is darkhorse ? and who gives a shit ?
i never played any of their music, and never heard another dj/radio station play it..

we are talking about him as an individual dj, not as darkhorse
he had a great launching pad(nicole ritchie).

so dont think u educated me, because u didnt...

He says: "Hey man, take a picture of me on the turntables!"
Me: (thru tears of laughter and disbelief) "Oh hell no, Are you kidding me? I am working here."
Then dude walks away with his camera on.

Just when I thought I have heard or seen it all, dude wants me to take a picture of him pretending to be djing?

And Henry GQ, if you want to put someone on blast, start your own thread, do not soil this fine thread with your gripes about other djs, just requests and comments.

So last night, some douchey eastern european guy comes up to me and says:

"why don't you just stop pretending to use the turntables."

I looked at him like, what the fuck are you talking about. So I ask him, "Excuse me, what do you mean?"

He starts to say something in broken easter block English about he knows the turntables and records are just there for looks because the computer is doing everything and you don't need a computer to use turntables and he's a dj so he knows.

I just started laughing in his face. I didn't even know what to say. I signaled the bouncer with my flashlight and told him to get this dude out my face. I wasn't in the mood.
Henry GQ 3:26 AM - 2 March, 2009

Don't you hate when someone bugs you all night to play a song and when you finally play it they aren't dancing. That's when I cut the shit off and they throw their hands up like what are you doing.

A recent gig...A girl came up to me and started in with a request for some generic top 40 pablum:

I replied as politely as possible:
"Actually, I'm not taking any requests."
"What do you mean you're not taking any requests? What kind of place is this?"
(With a smile): "It's a nightclub in New York City, last I checked."
I turned back around to the decks, and left her fuming.

The presumption level is just incredible.

Oh, and the same night, a very drunk character comes up and asks:
"I really want to request something, but I can't think of anything."
"That's perfect, since I'm not taking requests anyway."
"Wait, I'll try to think of something."
"You can try to think all you want, but I'm not going to play it."
That went back and forth for a while until the staff led him away.

We have two rooms at my club. The main room with a big floor upstaris, where I play Top 40 and Dance music...and another room in the basement where they have rotating monthly residents who play deep house, techno, drum n' bass, etc...

One of those guys is a good friend of mine and I drop him off to his place after the club because he doesn't have a car. He said some girl this past Saturday kept bugging him to play Katy Perry when he's playing deep house down there...LOL. The funny part is that you can't get down there without walking through the main floor. Not sure WTF people are smoking sometimes...

Not many people in my area know who he is, most know him as that guy who almost died in the plane with travis barker. I had no idea who he was until he was on tv with nicole richie and had no clue he was in crazy town until i started looking into what kind of music he played

wow.. two djs havent heard of him, maybe i should go collect trash. no offense JC im not tryin to fight with u. i just told a story and shared my opinion and u blew up on me.

anyways..
i had this one dj in town that all he played was shit he downloaded off of napster(this was a while ago) and everything in it had dj clue all over it. i asked him why he played so much of this, his response > some guy keeps askin him to play dj clue material....

i mean this dj would play anyones request.. anything u wanted... he would play, he didnt care what it was, he could never hold a dancefloor. it was pretty funny...
couldnt mix that well or anything, but if u need ur song to be played.. he would play it period.

I've come to think it really comes to the genre you play or crowd you run with...alot of the top 40 / house guys really tend to not know of the guys really known from the hip hop world and vice versa the only hip hop heads tend to not know much outside of that.
But it's human nature not everyone can be known by everyone else...as dj's we strive or should to be the best at what we do while still being open to outside influences otherwise we start to sound like those people who request the same 3 songs over and over...
"I never heard of that song, so it must suck...but this song is great because 'I' know it!!!!"

Dosent that sound stupid, annoying, and very familiar????

Please get back to the thread...if y'all wanna argue pm each other...or better yet start a new thread so we can all watch y'all continue to make fools out of yourselfes.

So I said thanks, and she starts explaining she works at a mental institute and would just love to have an outdoor party for all the patients. HOT GIG I tell ya. She asked what I would charge, so I immediately said about a thousand, because I knew it would be way out of the price range. lol

Last night, as I'm playing Destination Calabria if my memory serves me correct. Dance floor is full...

WHITE girl: Will you play the new Gucci Mane song?
Me: I have like 2 Gucci Mane songs on my computer, and I'm not playing either of them, it's too ghetto.
White girl: Oh, I forgot, this is a white club *stomps off*

WTF??
DJ _SLeven 10:47 PM - 8 March, 2009
A funny thing happened... I was searching for my next song and on the mic working the crowd, I have two other DJ in the booth with me. Out of the corner of my eye I see a woman falling OUT of the DJ booth. To keep herself from falling she is grabbing everything in site. She grabs one of my CD Desks(Denon DNS 5000's). All I could do was close my eyes and pray. I heard "Oh Sh!t!!!" and a loud crash. I open my eyes, I see drunk @ss on the floor and my CD Deck in my partners hands. The CD player didn't even skip. Needless to say Drunk @ss's friends were pist.

Drunk @ss's Friend #1: "Oh your CD player is more important then my friend."

My partner #1: "Umm, Your friend ain't worth $1000!"

Drunks @ss's Friend #2: "Oh one of you could have Caught her!"

My Partner #2: "Not that Big Beeaotch!!"

Me on the Mic: "Clean up at the DJ Booth... Send the HAZMAT Team and a Forklift!"

Music.
Causing friction between the sexes since Ugruk banged two rocks together.

Seriously, how many of you have girlfriends who nag about your unhealthy interest on music?
Caramac 12:07 PM - 9 March, 2009
Not so much these days. The thing I usually have (and this all women in my life) they moan about me spending money on music yet moan that they don't here anything new or moan when they want a specific song that I don't have. Or they ''book'' me for an event I have none of that music in.

I got you a booking.
Cheers babe. How much and when.
Well it's my friends, sister and they don't really have much money.
Ok. When is it?
It's in 2 weeks on a friday.
I DJ on fridays and she isn't paying.
But I already said you'd do it.
What do they want?
Well you see its Irish/African Polka Metal that they want.
Yeah I don't have any of that.
You must have some you have tonnes of records.
Yeah I'm pretty sure that I don't have any.
You haven't looked.
I don't need to.
Well you can get some.
It'll cost me a fortune and you said not to buy anymore music.
I never said that.
Ok. Can I finish watching The Shield please.
DVDjHardy 12:38 PM - 9 March, 2009
lol Caramac.

I've (sadly) gotten one that trumps all I've ever had to deal with at a gig. Friday night gig at a sports bar type of a place. I just started the music at 10 pm and noticed a pregnant lady (with some other people at this table). I thought they were probably there for some dinner and hopefully nobody will smoke near her...NOPE!

They were literally the last few people to walk out of the place at 2 am after a ton of drinks and a few cigarettes as well. The girl who bartends at the upper level bar by the DJ booth is my homegirl and we just kept looking at each other in disbelief after her husband kept buying shots for everyone at the table...inlcuding her. I even texted my friend who owns to place. He came up and told me that they legally have to serve her once she was in the establishment.

I don't know how people like her really sleep at night...that shit is REALLY fucked up!
DJ Dynamite - NJ 1:26 PM - 9 March, 2009
she must be related to the octo-mom
Caramac 1:34 PM - 9 March, 2009
Is that true? I'm pretty sure in the UK they have a clause along the lines of ''management reserve the right to refuse service to anyone'' etc etc.
Caramac 1:35 PM - 9 March, 2009
Or she could have just been fat. Lol.
DVDjHardy 1:45 PM - 9 March, 2009
She was a relatively smaller sized woman with a belly that looked like she was at least 8 months pregnant...and she told the bartender that the baby was kicking. No shit, probably because the baby is drunk, you idiot!
sopranosupasta 1:48 PM - 9 March, 2009
you know, its been proven by doctors that a couple of beers is actually good for a baby in the womb? seriously, look it up. lol....

shots on the other hand, thats not right, I probably would have shamed them on the mic....like "hey check out the pregnant lady on the left side, getting her unborn baby wasted....nice job MOM". lmao.....

Its a European thing, they say its ok for a pregnant woman to have 1-2 beers or glasses of wine in a week... I cant find a link.

the thing is smoking, shots, and spirits(hard booze) are against the rules. just wine or beer.

I'm not condoning it, I dont agree with it, Im just saying, different cultures follow different rules.

Think ive got this one beat. Im at home with my GF this last weekend and 2 of her friends come over, the friends are getting married in about 2 weeks. Im supposed to be in the wedding but seeing as i barley know them and i HATE weddings ive been tring to dodge it any way i can. I have only been a guest at 1 wedding and i have assisted a dj at another one other one and i hated both experiences. I dont like getting dressed up and i hate long boring ceremonies for people i dont know. So were sitting around talking and the question of if i can be in the wedding comes up again and i tell them (like my 8th excuse since they asked me like 5 months ago) that i cant because it starts at 5:30 and its a 45 minute drive from my work and i dont have any sick days to use. They tell me its fine theyll push the time tables back so i can get there and i can wear my work clothers (at this point im like really? is it that serious i dont wanna be in it and im NOT that close to you guys). Finally i cave and say fine ok ill be in it. So theres some chit chat blah blah then they hit me with 'ok heres the song i want to walk to and you need to play this and.....'. Im like ummm what does this have to do with me again?? She replies oh your djing the wedding right?? I tell her no of course not i never said i would (i had never been asked) i dont do weddings plus i would need to rent speakers ect and even if i could get all that together and find wedding songs (of which i have 0) im already running late just to get there i would have 0 time to set up. She looks at me with a super suprised look and says thats really fucked up cause your girlfriend already told us months ago youd do it and its already in the plans, weve told our parents\guests that you would be the dj....my girl was just looking at me with this little oops smirk on her face.
Caramac 4:39 PM - 9 March, 2009
Ha ha that's where you think You've had me beat. I've done 2 that's right 2 free weddings. before Serato with a bunch of random burned cds and dodgy sound systems courtesy of the missus. Lol.

Nope I think I still have you beat, you wanna know why its because A) I dont even know how a wedding works as a guest so i have no clue how to dj it B) I can infer from how you post on here your a compitant dj, me not so much. Im assuming your a good enough of a dj you winged itwith little to no prep, unless they want their ceremony filled with nothing but club bangers and techno(which oddly enough ive found out she does want to walk down the isle to techno) then im outta luck.

After writning this and thinking about it i really dont know how she expects me to be IN the wedding (as in walking and standing with the grooms people what ever thats called) and DJ it....mabye she meant the reception (whatever that is)

I felt like that at one point, but then I realized.. my family has quite a few doctors, and we're always bugging the hell out of them. I would guess the same would go for anyone with a specialized skill.

What pisses me off is incessant co-workers that annoy the crap out of you asking you to "make them a mix cd." I don't think they know what that entails, they just want your music for the gym or car. What they don't realize is the time it takes to select music, program, and mix a hour worth of music. I had one bouncer once that would ask twice a night for weeks in a row.. I honestly think he just wanted to make copies and try to sell them at the door..

Whats sorse is they are not worried about it even being mixed, they just want all the new tracks you have. 1 thing i hate more than anything is when people bug the shit outta me for a mix and request tracks that dont go together then when i tell em it wont mix they say well it dosent need to be mixed i just want you to burn me a cd

My primary income is from ebay business and I can honestly tell you that a lot of the BIG ebay sellers will not use Paypal / ebay checkout because there are a LOT better options. It doesn't mean that they are a rip-off or even against ebay's terms of service. When selling expensive items as that seller does, paypal takes out a huge percentage as opposed to using your own online merchant. Plus credit card companies usually have a better system for reversing charges in the event the seller sells you some junk. The checkout system for ebay is horrible when trying to run a larger scale ebay business and that's why there are alternatives like that seller uses. However, I have heard that ebay will be banning the use of 3rd party checkout services soon :(

Next time someone comes up to you with a iphone, plug it in (Must be plugged to computer).... Then hold the button on the top and the circular button in the front at the same time for a few secs.

She left I thought it was over.Im from B-More so i was playing hip hop and B-More club music. about three hours later hear she goes again,asking me to play Marvin Gaye. I got pissed and told the old lady to get the fuck out my face. the whole time none of the kids came asking for request because they were to busy dancing. Come to find out it was the birthday girls grandmother and to top it off,she was the one paying me. :( I guess just lost a client but i be dam if i played those 2 songs and be the talk of there school.

I got pissed and told the old lady to get the fuck out my face. the whole time none of the kids came asking for request because they were to busy dancing. Come to find out it was the birthday girls grandmother and to top it off,she was the one paying me. :( I guess just lost a client but i be dam if i played those 2 songs and be the talk of there school.


I would asked the B-Day girl or even the Mom that signed the contract if it was OK to play those songs. Or better yet you could have asked the old lady's name and then let everyone know she had requested these songs when you do play them. Out of respect I bet quite a bit would have danced to at least the "Electric Slide".

Who cares what the kids say about you in school? We are all hired because we know about music and what to play etc., but you should still always be respectful to people man, a bit harsh telling her to get lost.

i would never hire him for any of my clubs, plus he not dating nicole richie, so theres no celebrity status there..... its all about people wanting to see him for one reason or another..
dj aero is a great dj, him and tommy lee put on a good show, but really people just come to see tommy lee(hes such a bad ass!)

Last night I was doing my usual 70s funk/old school hip hop set (at a very small alternative groove type bar) when just two songs into it, a guy comes over and asks me if I've got any bangin' Lil' Wayne and some other new crunk junk. I didn't have anything he asked for so he offered to just play off his iPod for an hour if I wanted to take a break. Yeah, that's why I hauled all this equipment to this club, so you'd be able to plug in your iPOD and I can stare at my gear for an hour. Although the offer was exceedingly generous, I declined.
DJ Young Herrera 10:54 PM - 21 March, 2009

Some people, shockingly insecure people, feel that the music they like is what makes up their identity, so they don't leave home without it.

I take my iPod lol but that's more because I'm listening to it on the way there.
Laz219 9:46 PM - 22 March, 2009
Left myself a little open there didn't I? :)

Come to think of it, a friend of mine way back when we were still going to house parties would always bringing his iriver and a lot of the time just sit in a group of people listening to it. Ultimate antisocial...even then I thought it seemed kinda strange to do.
When I go out I try to avoid taking anything of value because I don't want to lose/break anything.

So I had the flu this weekend, and had to deal with all the annoying normal bullshit while sober with a fever.... but 2 things really stuck out

1) girl comes up and requests some rihanna song, I said "sure ok" and kinda forgot about it, as I would likely play it anyway at some point. So she comes up and bugs me every 5 minutes until I get pissed with her and tell her I dont have it. She then asks to hear some random ass song that would have failed horribly, I told her "thats not really a club song, sorry". She then comes BACK up 10 minutes later, pats me on the back and says

"you know, club music isn't the only type of music out there".

I was dumbfounded.


2) I tried that z-trip Ring Of Fire routine out (well at least the song with a beat behind it, I didnt use his exact breakbeat), and seeing as how I work at a top40/rock/country bar, I thought itd go over very well. Well I was wrong and everyone scattered quick, no big deal though, it happens. Couple minutes after this a lady comes up, gets RIGHT in my face as starts cursing at me and flipping out, like genuinely mad at me. I had no clue how to react to that, do I tell her how dumb/how bad of taste she has in music? Do I apologize? I told her "please get the fuck out".


Im never working sober again.

I had this one happen to me once and it shocked me, i was in the middle of a top 40 set at a club that was very obviously and very well known as a dance club, its ST Paddys day so its the usual crowd plus alot of never seen befores, this one chick walks into the booth and is like all this pop top 40 crap sucks dont you have anything good(i forget exactly what she said but the way she said it led me to assume she was more into EDM) so im like ya i hate this crap too i tell ya what how about (and i start namin off songs of EDM i like) and shes like ive never heard of any of that, i ask her what she wants to hear and she starts naming off early 90s alternative rock groups like nirvana....im at like 120 bpm with a packed dancefloor of 18 to 23 year olds and shes requesting REM and sonic youth. I gave her a blank stare pointed to the stack of cd books in the corner and said if she found somthin in there id play it for her (i dont have anything but rap and EDM) i forgot all about her, about an hour and a half later I turn around to grab something and shes still sittin on the floor lookin through my cd books bitching that she had never heard of any of the artists in them

shirley the worst reply any of us have had to "Sorry I don't have that" is the timeless "Well, what do you have?"

Seriously. Hate. That. Question.

I usually just end up reeling off songs that I know I'll play at some point in the night anyway and hope I say one she wants.

Obviously our jobs are to entertain etc., but does anyone else get annoyed when you're just warming up in a club for the first half hour when there are maybe ten people in, you're not trying to get people on the floor or particularly please those few patrons, just warm up and get in the groove. And then someone comes over and says "Is it going to be this XXX genre all night?/Can't you play something I know?/Why don't you get people on the dance floor, it's dead?"

Lol it still irks me. The worst thing is you can spot them people when they come in a mile off they get a drink sit down for two minutes and then start itching like a crack head lol. Then they're up and walking over. Lol.

There was one time I was in a really tired mood some girl came over asking for single ladies at 9.30am. It was just her and her mate. She asked really nicely and said ok when I told her I didn't have it. I felt bad and ended up playing it for her. We talked a bit and she's been back every other week now. Never bothers me just dances with her mates.
Caramac 10:50 AM - 24 March, 2009

They were all at a special surprise performance by Hootie and the Blowfish.


Pshhhhh! If there was a Hootie and the Blowfish concert i'd at least know where i wouldnt be...




ur tellin me if ur over ther nd there is a free hottie concert u wouldnt go see it just to do somthing . i bet entertainment is limited over there. (note: i dont like hottie at all )


Naw entertainment isn't really limited. I just opened up for Charlie Wilson a couple weeks ago. After he came Blackstreet came through. The USO do a good job of trying to get more current acts over. It doesn't always work out, but it's not that bad..

I had one of those cranky weekends where everyone was bothering me. I had some girl ask me for a song and then how long till I played it. I said 20 mins max.

That's not good enough.
How about never then? That good enough for you!?!?

Same night two of my regulars were absolutely smashed. One guy came in to say hello like he always does and slapped his hand right on the tone arm kills the music. I lift his hand off and put the needle back hoping no one would notice. He does it again. Lol. Get the fuck over there now. I thought he was going to cry. Lol. I felt bad as he's a nice guy I just was not in the mood.

Another regular came up and had a bromantic moment. We don't chat anymore. You're always mixing records and stuff. I was like man up bruv. I'm working.

One of those nights where you pack up as soon as the lights come on and get the fuck out and go home.

Back in the day they used to charge people for requests I think I'm going to revert back to doing that... If it was $1 in the 80's then I'm charging at least $5 or leave me alone... My thursday night is pretty sick they wont even let people come near me.

So last night after this wasted, chick has requested 3 million songs she wants to discuss how hot I was for 15 minutes (4 or 5 songs). Trying to be nice I tell her I'm engaged and to go pick on someone else and I take the girls request standing behind her waiting. Just as I start mixing the next song in I notice out the corner of my eye a little activity and the needle pops off (thank god for reletive mode). Well my buddy is wrestling this drunk girl from hoppin over the wall to the dj booth tryin to get to me. Her friends rushed over and grabbed her and started calling me gay cause I didn't want to make out with her...... Come on seriuosly this hasn't happened in 11yrs of my career....but what is so hard to understand we as dj are trying to do a job someone is paying us dearly for!

GET ME A BEER AND $5 AND I'LL THINK ABOUT PLAYING YOUR SONG AND I DONT CARE IF I'M HOT, YOUR UGLY LEAVE ME ALONE.

This didn't happen to me but a friend I was chatting to while he was working.

This was on a cruise boat that does a starter party for a nightclub, so 200-300 people come on the boat for a couple of hours and then go to this club afterwards.

1- Bar girl from the club
2- Deckhand from the boat
3- Promoter for the night

All 3 of them thought it was hilarious to walk up and just stop the playing record, or try and scratch. After they'd done it a couple of times- you've never seen somebody so quick on the F3 key (switch to INT) The second I saw one of them coming would have the deck on internal within a second, they'd walk up thinking they were geniuses, try and do it again and get all confused when nothing would happen.

I know everyone would be wondering why the hell they weren't told to f@*k off?
1- Bar girl is really hot and my mate was trying to get onto her..so he let it slide for her
2- Promoter was scoping him out for a job at the club so he didn't want to cause any problems
3- Deckhand did get told, so he just reverted to pretending to put the drinks he was getting us down on the spinning table.

Two requests in 3 hours time and you go cussing at an old lady. Forget the fact that you didn't know she was the grandma but YOU KNEW she was a guest of your clients. It wasn't like it was 5 minutes later. It was 3 HOURS. All this just so you could maintain your "street cred" with the 16 year old high school kids. Like other people said, the kids would have probably done the line dance and might have even digged the Marvin Gaye, but you were too busy to change up your Baltimore club music. Class-Act.

First she was drunk bumpin the table(I hate that).two I have no problem with playing Marvin Gaye,but if my crowd is on the floor dancin,I will not put on a song(electric slide) where I know the floor will be empty. you say "street cred" Im all about getting new gigs which= more money.
and for dj motion, kids in bmore like club music and hip hop

Regardless of your lame excuses, there is a lot better ways to handle that situation than to use the F-word with a grandmother at a mobile gig. For goodness sakes she was drunk and asked you for 2 requests in 3 hours and you even say that she simply left after you told her you didn't have the electric slide. Next time she came over (3 hours later) with a new request, you told her to get the F-out of your face. You're lucky her grandsons / sons / nephews / friends didn't hear that and come show you a thing or two about respect.

I don't know what is wrong with dj's today. they don't know how to rock the electric slide, that song make the party rock. I have remixed that song so much that the young kidz think its new. Grandma didnt deserve that treatment yo. At certain party's I find way to take ppl request. Even if it doesn't fit your set at the time you can make it happen later on. whether you do a quick in and oat of the track or remix, some scratches or something.

I think there's a lesson in that...

Had you been humble from the beggining you probably got another gig and got to NAME YOUR PRICE!

Now you were rude...but manned up and apologised...now you got another gig...and a chance to market yourself further...

Had you just been an ass and kept going...you'd feel like a 'man' and someone else would be eating off your arogance...

Pokerface

Sigh

I get this a bit, I havn't noticed it mentioned tho, maybe cus I'm CRAP at pulling girls that come up to the booth I'm the only one that gets it.

Girl I know rocks into the booth, some dude follows. Grinds up against me and wispers in my ear "Can you get rid of him for me please Supa, Tell him I'm with you or something?"

Damn, You know when you end up being the bailout dude your never gonna tap that.

Me: "No."

Cunt: "You're an asshole"

Me: "I want to set you on fire"

Me: (Happy to see a brother in the cause)YES IT IS!!!!

An Obvious DJ: I hope you know SL3 is out, you better upgrade or your days are numbered in this joint. By the way do you have Lil Wayne or Vanilla Ice?

am i the only one who gets the 'can you just youtube it?' response when i say i don't have something?

i know your common club rat doesn't really 'get' how djing works, let alone serato, but really... i swear this happens on a weekly basis too. i never know how to respond, just give them a 'errr.. it doesn't work like that.

Well actually...
Youtube -> standard audio-out -> Serato mic-in (LiveFeed) -> go for it...guess that would work. Of course, the audio qualit would be very youtube-ish^^

I've got "can you play it off my phone" a LOT recently.

A few days ago some girl asked for the video of "Remember the Time" by Michael. I didn't. She asked again 2 minutes later. I didn't have it. She asked AGAIN a few minutes later. Still didn't. So I made her a deal.

Me: "If you can make your hair blonde (her hair was black) in the next 10 seconds, then I can play your song."

She didn't take kindly to that and finally left me alone.

So now I get to add to the iPhone trend...

Last night I'm rockin a club and these two idiots come up to me and ask me for "FLOOR RIDER - WHITE ROUND" LOL

I knew what song they were talking about (Flo Rida - Right Round) but I didn't wanna play it (because it sucks) so I told them I didn't have. Wouldn't you know it, they come back 5 minutes later with an iPhone asking me to plug it into my laptop and saying "It's 2009, just play it off my iPhone, you can plug it into your laptop"
So I had to tell them, "Yeah it's 2009, but I don't know you and I don't know what you have on your phone and the last thing I need is a virus on my computer"

So I played the other stupid Flo-Rida song instead and that kept them satisfied...LOL


Get back at the people that want you to DJ off their iPhones!!!!

Next time someone comes up to you with a iphone, plug it in (Must be plugged to computer).... Then hold the button on the top and the circular button in the front at the same time for a few secs. It will put the iphone in recovery mode. Now 4 the Good Stuff: They cant use it, and lost all their info until they sync with their computer again! It stays stuck in the same screen!

Not only are they F'd for the night, weekend, etc.... They've learned a very valuable lesson! No More Stupid Requests......

Have Fun with that 1.....


Even though we're EASILY able to do the livefeed now with just about anything, I think I'd rather keep doing the recovery mode route MUHAHAHA

A few years ago I DJ'ed a 10 yrs anniversary for a local charter of a well known motorcycle club (skull and wing logo, you know the one...) Bikers from all around the world, a great party.

I noticed a girl had been checking me out. (I'd seen her with a biker earlier in the evening) At one point she came into the booth, she wanted to get dirty right there. At this time the biker I saw her with earlier, was about 7 meters from the boot. I did not want to get into any mess with those bikers, that could turn out ugly.

So, I politely declined her offer. She was crouching in the booth not to be seen by any of the other guests. Her words then was exactly: "how can you say no to this?" (showing her boobs halfway).

I then told her: "that guy over there looks like he wouldn't like it", she replied :"he's not my boyfriend". Still I played it safe and kindly escorted her out of the boot. I'm not a biker myself and i don't want to be on the wrong side of that club.

Man I had a million people buggin Saturday night...probably one of the worst nights I've had on that tip, because it was so many diff ages and types of people there. One girl asked me for new wave, even though it was an ALL Hip Hop Crowd...then this 50 yr old was mad because she didn't know any new songs I played, n would ask for random songs that didn't fit...."Play Wait til you see my dick, Gin n Juice, and When doves cry"....one girl asked for Suavamente, and a 42 yr old lady complained that I was playin too much "old shit" when I had played "newer shit" ALL night and was playin 4 90's tracks that everybody else was into. When I told her that the crowd was dancin and lovin it, she said "they are just drunk, they don't know better" n I was like "well maybe you need a few shots too."

And then when the security guy by the door came to kick her out, she just decides to flash me....haha. That was funny.

2nd - Smoking hot chick comes up to make a request. She was REALLY struggling putting a sentence together...I did catch the part where she said she's from Equador. She kept struggling to make her request...I asked "Reggaeton?". She said "Daddy Yankee!". I said "cool"....LOL.

Thought I had a "Senior Moment" this past Thurs (remember crowd is 30 & ups). Not sure if it was me or the current state of today's Hip Hop, help me decide.

Older Chick (maybe 40 or so) comes up and says "Can You Play - Got Patron In My Cup".

Looking at this chick, I KNOW she ain't asking for DJ Class, but just in case I say the one that goes - "Diamonds on my Neck, I got Patron In My Cup.... I don't give a Fuck"?

She says no... and drunkenly slurs out "Whussup, Got Patron In My Cup" - Ahhh ok it's a Lil Jon song. I say okay so I can mix my next song and she leaves.

Brain Freeze - I sing that part of the lyric in my head "What's happin - WHats Up, I got Patron in my cup" but I can't think of the fucking song.

I go ask one of my Security (early 30's), he and another guy next to him can't think of it but he says it goes "Dah, Dah, Da Dahhh".

That didn't help me because I just played "That Baby Don't Look Like Me" earlier and that is stuck in my head.

Ended paying Damn Remix by Youngbloodz on hopes of the "Dah, Dah, Da Dahhh" - Oops that's Luda - Not Lil Jon.

Oh well.

Why do people take the most obscure part of the lyric and make that the title of the request?????

Next afternoon - It comes to me....

Song was Lil Jon - Snap Your Fingers. DOH!

Well I was wrong and everyone scattered quick, no big deal though, it happens. Couple minutes after this a lady comes up, gets RIGHT in my face as starts cursing at me and flipping out, like genuinely mad at me. I had no clue how to react to that, do I tell her how dumb/how bad of taste she has in music? Do I apologize? I told her "please get the fuck out".!!



something similar happened to me about 3 years back when mash ups were still all the rage down here... had a bar i did from 10pm to 4am... from 10 to midnight usually and older crowd filed out and a younger one filed in.. standard procedure, so i used that sort of mash/rock-hop stuff before midnight to appease them and still lure in the youngsters..

anyways, bitch got in my face for "ruining" the jon cash song and etc. etc. etc.... told her i didnt ruin anything, its the remix i played, she still said i was "ruining" it for her, and i said "if you dont like it, go home", to which she replied "fuck you!"...

.. then proceeded to sit at the bar til 4am... gotta love the die-hard bar rats.

Story was the guy had gone up to the DJ and said "you ever heard of Carl Cox?" of course the answer was yes. The guy came back with "well you shouldn't be trying to DJ" Guy ended up copping a decent hit before security got him.

Makes me wonder what people expect, every single club in every single country to have an international playing each night?

Last week, playing at a bar my friend manages and he wanted to throw a last minute dance party. (i mean last minute... i got woken up at 3pm with a phone call asking if i can be there at 9)
I had nothing to do so some partying and music would be fun.

i get there and before i even set anything up, im getting requests for britney spears. I dont do top 40 at all... I'm a house, electro, breaks kinda guy. But no big deal... that's going to happen everywhere. Just couldnt believe they didnt wait for me to at least setup.

1am rolls around and a girl comes up and tries to push me off the mixer and asks me "what buttons do i push?"
i looked at her a bit stunned.. "you're not touching any of my shit"
her:"but i cant hear you doing anything"
me:"that must mean im doing a good job... i know i hate when i notice the dj when i go out"
her:"whatever..." then proceeds to pretend to play with my records as she poses for photos meanwhile im making faces of pure disgust which probably made it in the photos.

about 30 minutes later... girl from the same party comes up and starts playing with my record while im in the middle of mixing 2 songs... completely ruined the mix... and i just had to make an ass of her.
cut the volume on the mixer... everyone booed, looked my way just in time for me to point out who fucked shit up for them.
Didnt have any problems from that group of girls for the rest of the night.

In my experience it's always shit-faced upper-middle-class girls that who to pose for pictures, often "birthday queens" who think they "own" the party. They might have reserved a few seats for the night, or even hired part of the venue for the opening hours. When other guests arrive later at night, they don't realize these are not their friends, so they act like they're the middle of everyone's attention.

Whenever this happens (maybe every second, third month or so) I just cut the volume, pointing my finger at them for a good 20-30 seconds, let people have a "boo/laugh", then cue something she did not request. They leave the booth in shame, never fails ;-)

I seem to be getting a bunch lately,

Tonight turntables are right next to a main doorway, easily within reach of anyone.
First..Me and the other DJ were checking the amps (about 10ft walk from the DJ booth) guy walks in and decides as nobody is there, he should grab the vinyl. Other DJ threw his hand off and told him to f_ck off. Guy walked away with a big smile like he was a genius for doing it.

2 girls and one guy come up to make a (terrible) request. Guy slowly starts reaching for the vinyl. Threw his hand away before he could actually reach it.

Another girl comes up and has her hand resting on the edge of the TT, fingers around 2inch from the platter. Deck was still spinning but not actually playing, she accidentally stopped the platter...but then suddenly decided she should start scratching and smashed the needle off the vinyl...but continued 'scratching' This one took me a while because the MC was blocking me reaching her and he didn't get the point right away of what was happening.

Yet another girl came up and tried to do some kind of sexy slide down the booth in front of us, what does she grab to hold herself up? The laptop screen of course.

Why do these people really think it is acceptable to walk up and touch everything? It'd be the same as me walking up to someone with a desk job, grabbing their pen and scribbling all over their work. I just don't understand how they can think playing with things they have absolutely no idea about isn't going to bother us.

last night, while MGMT's Electric Feel was playing, a girl came up:

"Can you play some MGMT?"

"MGMT?"

"Yeah, can you play some?"

"Under no circumstances tonight will I be playing MGMT."

"Please? Or Justice? I looooooove Justice!"

"This is MGMT playing now."

"Cool. But I want to hear some Justice."

Last week, playing at a bar my friend manages and he wanted to throw a last minute dance party. (i mean last minute... i got woken up at 3pm with a phone call asking if i can be there at 9)
I had nothing to do so some partying and music would be fun.

i get there and before i even set anything up, im getting requests for britney spears. I dont do top 40 at all... I'm a house, electro, breaks kinda guy. But no big deal... that's going to happen everywhere. Just couldnt believe they didnt wait for me to at least setup.

1am rolls around and a girl comes up and tries to push me off the mixer and asks me "what buttons do i push?"
i looked at her a bit stunned.. "you're not touching any of my shit"
her:"but i cant hear you doing anything"
me:"that must mean im doing a good job... i know i hate when i notice the dj when i go out"
her:"whatever..." then proceeds to pretend to play with my records as she poses for photos meanwhile im making faces of pure disgust which probably made it in the photos.

about 30 minutes later... girl from the same party comes up and starts playing with my record while im in the middle of mixing 2 songs... completely ruined the mix... and i just had to make an ass of her.
cut the volume on the mixer... everyone booed, looked my way just in time for me to point out who fucked shit up for them.
Didnt have any problems from that group of girls for the rest of the night.
somethin like this happend to me one time, this dude was checkin out what i was doin right in front of me. i was mixin two songs together, perfectly beatmatched, goin well. i look to the side to say sumthin to my wife i think, all of a sudden i hear a krrrrrr. i looked at the dude and was like "what the f... u doin man, get the f... out of here...." cursed his ass out. he never came back around again. i saw him a few more time but he would never come around me. who sees records in a turntable spinnin and decide to touch it. This almost happened to my wife Friday but she caught this redneck about to touch it. she yelled at his a** and he didnt come back around. lol. what are these people thinking???????

xist 9:42 PM - 26 April, 2009
If you're going to talk to the club DJ, DON'T SAY...

1. "Play something good... something we can dance to!"

The DJ has to play for more than one person, so what you may hate may be another's favorite song and everything played here can be danced to one way or another.

2. "Would you play something with a beat?"

Don't be an idiot. We know of no songs played in a club that don't have some sort of beat. If you are too rhythmically challenged to dance to the beat it's not our fault. We found the beat to mix into you, so can you.

3. "I don't know who sings it and I don't know the name of the song, but it goes like this... la dee-dah-dee!"

Please, don't sing for the DJ they have to put up with smoke-filled rooms and dangerous decibel levels all night. Do them a favor and don't give them a rendition of your favorite song.

4. "Everybody wants to hear it!"

Oh sure, you pulled everyone in the club and, as their spokesperson, you are requesting the song. Also, do not make a request, then send all your friends to make the same request when the DJ doesn't play it. We're on to you bastards.

5. "I can get laid if you play it!"

If you are good enough, and got game it's all you. Or buy him / her More Alcohol… LoL

6. "I want to hear it next!"

The only people who can get away with that statement write the DJ's paycheck. Also a $100 tip could help matters.

7. "I don't know what I wanna hear... what do you have?"

It's a lot easier for you to go have another beer and figure out what you want to hear than it is for the DJ to recite the name of every record in the booth.

8. "Hey man, nobody can dance to this!"

It is not clear to say this when the dance floor is packed (but, some people do anyway). However, even if there is only one person on the floor, it still contradicts the statement.

9. "Everybody will dance to it if you play it!"

The DJ won't...I guess that blows a hole in that theory.

Tips:

1. If you ask for a song and the DJ says he just played it, don't say, "Well, I just got here." It makes absolutely no difference.

2. Don't say, "Is this the only kind of music you play?" If you go to a Chinese restaurant, you wouldn't ask for Italian food. Rock clubs play rock, alternative clubs play alternative, discos play disco, etc., etc., etc...

3. If you ask for a song, be specific. Don't say, "I wanna hear something, anything but this!" Try going to the bar and saying, "I wanna drink something, anything but this!" You can't complain if you're not specific.

4. However, if you are specific and the DJ says he doesn't have the song, don't say, "What?!! What do you mean you don't have it? What kind of DJ are you? Why don't you get into the wonderful world of fast food! You obviously don't know what you're doing as a DJ!"... Expect a bitch slap, or to be escorted out of the massive hands of the bouncers.

5. Give the DJ a break. The next time you request a song, stop and think before you speak. And above all, if the DJ has one hand on the mixer, one hand on a turntable / CD player and wearing headphones, DO NOT BUG HIM. HE'S MIXING!!!

6. If the DJ is even in a dance club he should be beat matching songs and whatever song he is playing has a certain tempo or BPM (beats per minute), So if the DJ is playing let's say, "Nelly Furtado - Promiscuous" which is 114 BPM and you come up and ask for "Lil Jon - Snap Yo Fingers" which is 82 BPM don't expect to hear your song anytime soon because the DJ is mixing songs at tempos close to 114 and slowing down to a tempo of 82 would be too drastic of a change. You have to wait till the DJ works his way back down in a progression not all at once, and sometimes that could take over an hour or more.

7. The DJ booth is not bar stool and the DJ is not your new best friend. Where ever the DJ is setup trying to make yourself look cool by posting up right near or around the DJ booth is not permitted. Most times we are thinking about the next song were gonna play and taking more than 10 seconds to talk to someone is too long. You are bugging the DJ unless he otherwise tells you so. Like "don't go hold on" means he wants to talk to you after he cues up the song but if you ask for a request and goes sure ok DO NOT HANG AROUND WAITING FOR IT! Let us work it is a job you know.


8. Do not bring up random tracks on CD's that your homie did or some underground crap that you think is poppin' because unless it appeals to more than just you it will never touch the CD players, or it's an exclusive track by a large artist that just came out then it will get played, but I have news for you, We are DJs / radio talents or both and we get stuff that the public never has access to ever or WAY WAY WAY before it comes out so guess what we already have it and if we don't it wasn't worth bringin' to the club.

When we cut the music and informed the crowd that the party was over it took them about 2 min or so to believe us but once they got it half the crowd started stomping and chanting in perfect unison "FUCK THAT SHIT".... me being in disbelief of how rude/stupid these kids were i grabbed the mic and was like "that chant might work at frat party but your in a 4 star hotel why don't u apologize to the manager and maybe he might cut u some slack"... 30 seconds later "FUCK THAT SHIT" was there response.

love this one! gotta post that from now on on the entrance of the club/bar!
billybobbarmcake 3:54 AM - 28 April, 2009
Had this yesterday, it's my first ever post-worthy request.

The dancefloor was pretty packed and there was a lot of good energy, and some guy kept coming up with the age-old "play some REAL hip hop." So I think to myself what the hell, they're all dancing their asses off, I can afford to throw something in without clearing the floor.

So I play De La Soul- Me Myself and I, and it goes down really really well. He's back "I said play REAL hip hop man."

I guess then that means (cos I'm in Australia) he means he wants to hear Australian hip hop. That's a bigger risk, sometimes it sends people crazy, and sometimes they don't wanna hear it. But fuck it I'll mix one in and see what they do. Went down pretty well.

He's BACK. "I don't like Australian hip hop. Play the REAL shit." So with the patience of a saint, I give 1 more shot at it for this guy. At this point he's stood next to me, so I say "this is just for you. Go dance." and drop in the intro of They Reminisce Over You. Half the crowd love it, half don't recognise it... he's looking at me with a blank expression.

"What's this?" he asks
"REAL hip hop"
"I've never heard it before"

At this point I wanted to hit the guy because he's been harder to please than any Asian 20 year old girl who WANTS BRITNEY NOW! But I contain it and say "name somebody then."

"Immortal Technique"
"Here!??"
"Yeah man- with a smile on his face thinking he's going to hear it"
"It would clear the floor. No way"
"Aww come on man. I'm a DJ and I play that shit all the time"
"So you think right now, a room full of drunk people who want to get laid and have a good time, want to hear a song about a kid who rapes his own mother?"
"Um. Yeah. It's a dope song."
"Fine. You can do it" (I hand him my headphones)
He panics and says "I don't know how to use turntables."
"What do you use?"
"Itunes"

So I just ignored him and security told him to move away.

I honestly hate the "REAL hip hop" requesters more than I hate spoilt teenage girls. Especially ones that don't know Pete Rock.
Socross 4:21 AM - 28 April, 2009
I hate people who want to feel smarter than you by playing "stump the DJ with an obscure request." It's more about feeling cool for having requested the song than actually wanting to hear it.

So I dropped the topic and started playing a few more songs that I like and it came back to Boom Boom Pow and she said "that's cool, you should play that in the club."

More on topic, last night, as I was playing Fabulous, Busta Rhymes and Plies etc., this girl came up and asked if I could "Play some RnB? You know, Britney?"

This being said while the dancefloor is packed (or 90% packed). I still get it to this day.

Or the other all-time fave: "When are you gonna stop playing techno?!"

This being said while your playing hip hop & r'n'b dance remixes.

I was like...If you can't dance to Michael Fucking Jackson then bitch you just can't dance. So you think...Okay these Bay area kids (16-17) just want to two-step to some hip-hop.

>>When are you going to play something different?
me: What do you want to hear?
>>I dont know
me:....?
>>Well not this, this music isn't meant for single people. Play songs that single people like.

To mix it up a bit, not so much a request as more of an, er, encounter...

Ok, so I should mention that, for one reason or another, I don't get hit on too much when I'm DJing (partly my attention to detail over work *ahem* and partly www.socialanimal.co.uk [left]).

Anyway, tonight, after I finished my bar gig, I went to the club I usually play at to get the craic with the DJ there (Rosco McMillan, one of the best DJs in Glasgow I would wager). So I was watching how he mixed it up etc. when these two girls started chatting to me. Now, one was very fine, and one was... not so fine, but still nice looking. Anyway, we get chatting, I'm making good headway with the pair of them (I have a girlfriend so obviously getting the banter with girls is easier than normal) and they offer to buy me a drink! Well surprised (this is Scotland remember), so I counter with me buying the round, but they reject, and return with my pint. Delighted!

Them: [motioning to the decks] "Ok, so you have to earn it!"

Me: "Er, what? I'm not DJing now, I finished earlier."

I swear to God guys, I've never seen anyone work themselves away from me that quickly before. I might as well have said I had viral AIDs. Terrible. And me thinking I could spot these girls from a mile off.

Hey Nelson, I'm in Glasgow too, I recognise the guy on your right in that photo for some reason. What bar were you working in tonight?
DJNelson 4:39 AM - 3 May, 2009
chances! That's Richie, he does Viper with me on Friday, Capitol on Thursday and Radio every other wed and friday. He's been on the glasgow scene for quite a while though, 8 years I think?

I was in Nude on Ashton Lane. Whereabouts do you DJ? There's a couple of us on here that I know of, DJ Toast and Gav Somerville (sp?) I've seen posting, there's definitely more with serato (obviously).
room213 1:19 PM - 3 May, 2009
Yeah I know Toast, know of Gav but haven't met him I don't think. I co-own and DJ the Classic Grand.

Back on topic, last night the place is bouncing, the crowd are very loud singing along and this retard comes up and asks for something a bit slower and quieter so him and his mates could hear each other at the bar, they were standing about 8 feet away from one of the main P.A. stacks.
Laz219 12:50 AM - 4 May, 2009
I hate people that do that,

Was doing a school thing a few years back and one of the teachers stood directly in front of one of the speakers while blocking her ears. Later she was frantically trying to open windows because "the smoke will give the kids cancer"
Caramac 4:24 PM - 4 May, 2009
I've had that. Our bar used to have PA type speakers on stands and there would always be some idiot turning them round to face the wall. I almost got into it with one table as they were complaining it was too loud. I picked up all their drinks moved them top the next table to the side of the speaker and told them to sit there and don't touch the fucking speaker again. I'm not a big guy and not that handy either but I get really protective over music equipment.

As for comments and requests.

I had some girl asking for Push It by Salt N Pepa telling me everyone would love it. I agreed and told them everyone would love the next tune. Played Miss Independent and they cheered. She huffed and stormed off.

I've also started going through a bit of an ignorant phase lately. I was warming up with some mellow Daville and Sean Paul type tunes at one rnb bar and these group of girls came up moaning about the music. I was just getting ready to switch it up. It was still early like 10pm but then thought fuck it. You're having another half hour of this shit and started drawing all the deep roots and culture stuff that I save for the rasta man gigs. Lol. I need to get out of this stubborn phase lol.
Dj Corleone508 10:07 PM - 4 May, 2009
NOOOO Caramac I would do the same thing it was early and if people are gonna cry over spilled milk pour out the rest of the gallon. that is if you having one of those days other than that how was the rest of the people feelin the tunes?
Caramac 8:15 AM - 5 May, 2009
Its funny the next door dj is a house dj and hates it all but all his mates are big reggae fans so they were skanking in the middle of the floor waving lighters in the air lol. Add in the sound effects from 1.9 and my echo effects box on the mic and it was a right proper sound clash lol.

Rachel Day (5/5 11:42 am): I realize i prob already know the answer to this, but what about just loaning out some kind of speaker sound system thing so she could play cd's?

I hate people that come in to your club and tell you "What you playing that for?"

In my club Loch Lomond is one for either New Year or end of exams, so I played it tonight, and the dancefloor was packed as it got the usual good reaction. Then this guy came up and said:

"What's this mate? It's not a 60s party. Mix it up, put some funk in there."

"I've DJed here for a couple years now, I know what I'm doing thanks." :facepalm:

Managed to not let it annoy me but christ, sometimes they're wankers.
Laz219 5:06 AM - 7 May, 2009
I hate those people, clearly if it's working....it's good.
I always figured people that say that are the people you'll see sitting in the corner as far from the floor as they can get. They'll listen to the music but if your playing for the vibe on the dancefloor that wierd track your dropping in might sound a bit off to a person that's not part of that.

Had basically the exact same thing recently besides "why are you playing this, it's not 1995" and went on about nobody wanting to hear it. She had to make her way through the entire (packed) dancefloor to reach me.
AKIEM 5:24 AM - 7 May, 2009
So I was dropping hot track, after hot track one night, the crowd was loving me. This bitch walked up to my booth to make a request. I normally would not have even looked at her but she had these huge tits, so I said "whats up?". I dont even remember her request because her breath smelt like two shit in dryer. So I poured a beer on her head and security escorted her out.

Wow. I could not disagree more. I'm not a huge fan of R&B, as I've always considered it ridiculously slow and whiny, but there are some staples in my sets. Miss Independent will not be remembered for any length of time after it meets it's eventual demise from the Top 40 charts. I could probably make the same argument for Ne-Yo as an artist.

Fair enough. If you're not an RnB fan I can see why you wouldn't like it. I'm pretty much the opposite. I've never been a fan of fast fast music. I'm paitiently waiting for the 90 BPM craze to come back round full cycle. Lol.

don't blame you dude. here's the sign of the apocalypse: driving into work the other day, I hit three separate presets in my car, one after another. All three were playing Lady Gaga at the same exact time. If this point in time is not commercial overload... I can't even imagine how much worse it can possibly get. With regards to you're preferred genre, I'm gonna have to say 90's hip hop and r&b are exponentially better then the stuff being played today.. before you know it I'll be yelling at kids to get off my lawn..

I hit 2 local rock stations (one is technically DC and one Baltimore) recently and they were playing the same song. Then they played the same next song. Turns out they are both running the same pre-recorded show at night, EVERY night. Even down to the generic commentary between songs.
Caramac 2:44 PM - 17 May, 2009

Anyway last night nothing out of the blue. Some random sket and her lap dog boyfriend came up and waited to tell me that they were leaving because the music was shit and no one was dancing. Not saying I'm DJ God's Gift or anything but I was having a pretty good night and the room was packed. I was like see you later. She kept standing there saying shit. I told the woose of a boyfriend to take his monkey and fuck off.

I've heard of people actually going out of their way to tell the DJ he is shit a couple of times before, still yet to happen to me though. Seems like such an arrogant thing to do.

I did a job last night...nobody could really get within 4 feet of me and even then were right in front of a speaker, so I had a few people come up to make requests. I couldn't even hear them but just pretended I could.
End of the night (was pretty good night, dancefloor packed the whole time) I dropped three tracks into the prepare crate just to play quietly while everybody left.
Each time one of them came on I'd hear somebody in the room say "oh, NOW he plays the song I requested"
Was actually a nice change though, had a few people go out of their way to come up and say thanks to me.

Last year durring ST Pattys day I was doing a set at dance club, radio station was there so i was rocking a top 40 hot garbage set. The club is very well known as a dance club and its known that when im there ill work my way into some breaks so this chick comes up to the booth and goes when are you going to play some GOOD music. The chick looks pretty cool so im thinking she means some non-top 40 rap, i mentions a few tracks and she goes no like soemthing not rap...now this is a dance club VERY obviously and everyone is dancing so i assume shes talking about some kinda EDM so i get a bit excited like ya i hate this crap too i tell ya what ill drop a few tracks for ya and i name a few and shes like no no so i tell her to go look in my cd book and pick something out....about an hour goes by and i had completley forgot about her and i turn around and shes sitting on the floor still flipping through cds.. i ask her if shes found something yet and she gives me this were the fuck am i look and goes i dont know ANYONE in here dont you have any REM or 9 inch nails or nirvana or jars of clay......im like are you serious just get the fuck out of here

Really, a holiday weekend goes by and not one ridiculous comment or request?

Here is a close as I got. I was djing an art show opening and the after party with a dj/friend who didn't play single song during the actual show. I show up to the spot around 3 to set up and sound check. Tie up some loose ends around the gallery. Doors are to open at 6 so about 20 till I start doing some warm stuff and kick it off. So I end up playing the entire 6 1/2 hours alone. Oh the other dj/friend was their, but every time I asked him to play it was always "man you're killing it, just keep going". I have to admit this ploy worked for a while but at some point I just wanted a brake. So the opening is wrapping up and we're breaking everything down to move to the after party (luckily right next door). We're all set up at the after party spot and he's all "so do you want keep going?". Hell no! By this time its like 12:30 or 12:45 and I'm like "look, you only got like 2 hours left at max! I just came off a marathon set. Again I say No! It's all you the rest of the night." I can't believe how lazy dude was being. All he wanted to do was party and hit on girls. That's fine and all but man you're getting paid to do job so do it. Next time if don't want to work don't book the gig. I'll keep all the money myself.

Thanks for letting me vent.
DJ Dynamite - NJ 7:15 PM - 27 May, 2009
that wasn't a comment or a request...lol

but I'll let it slide this time though :-P

So last week I started a new Wednesday night gig. Some knucklehead comes up to me and says "Yo, you're playing some hot stuff" and then asks if he can connect his iPod and copy all my music and asks how much I would charge him. I told him "HELL NO!!"

Why do these fuckin leaches think someone would let them copy all of the music on their hard drive? I didn't spend weeks rippin my old vinyl just so that some microwave douchebag can copy it all.

I just ask what they think it's worth. If I ever and I mean EVER get a SERIOUS offer I'll probably let them do it. Lol. And I'm talking at least a £1 a song with a minimum £100 spend lol.

One guy asked I said how much and he said £20. I told him to jog on. Joker.

So I was playing at a High School dance, and the adviser was getting on me about playing hip hop cause of the kids dancing.. He told me to play something fun like the twist.. So being he had my check in his hand while saying this I slammed on The Twist by Chubby Checker.
less then one minute into the song, a group of girls come up to me..

Girls: Ahh Excuse me... but can you play something "Black"
Me: Huh?
Girls: You know something black..
Me: Laughing.. I asked them if they would prefer the Temptations.

Another one...

Girl asked: Hey do you have _____, if you play it will dance...
me: Oh whats your name?
Girl: oh my name is Jennifer, i'm hear with my BLA BLA BLA
Me: Give me a sec i'll put it on in few minutes..
Girl: Oh ok thanks...

Staring at her ass as she walks away and takes a seat at the booth at the end of the dance floor..

10 minutes later I play her song.. She still sits there half way thru the song..

STOP THE MUSIC... HEY JENNIFER... I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU WOULD DANCE IF I PLAYED THIS SONG... SO GET YOUR BUT UP HERE AND DANCE...

then she comes up to me... but no one is dancing...

we had troubles with the sound last night, as the club's amps had suffered from a power cut (think I might have mentioned that in another post in here). The sound engineer had been in and on the dry run when we pushed it, it seemed fine, unfortunately it wasn't, and the music kept cutting out completely for a few seconds regardless of how quiet I was playing the music (and by keep cutting out, I mean er, 40 times in a 2 hour period? Why anyone stayed I don't know, but we still kept most of the clientele. We're talking 2-3 seconds at a time at least as well).

Anyway, this twat came up and said

"So what's the problem?"

'Ach it's an internal problem with the sound system, not much I can do.'

"What is your stuff here?"

'Er, why?'

"Oh, oh just wondering, what your stuff is, because you know, is it all wired up right, I just wanted to check that?"

'Thanks, I've only been djing for two years and I still have no idea how this stuff works.'

"No, I wasn't patronising you!"

'Yes, you were a bit.'

"No I just want to check what stuff is yours because that must be what's causing the music to stop."

We are currently in a nice resturant where young people are present. People don't want to hear about fucking peoples boyfriends while out on a date."

Less than 5 minutes before the club was gonna close, a guy hands me his card and says he runs a DJ and promotion company. And that they do events for MTV. The he asked to send him a demo...LOL. You fucking moron just heard me play in front of a few hundred people...I'm not sending you shit. Somewhere in there, he also proceeded to request "Swag Surf" and may be another bullshit song.

And then after the club, some girl told me "I want to have sex with your car" while I was just getting into my car outside the club. No, she wasn't worth pursuing or would have said something witty.

played a middle school mixer recently...

"can you change the song? right now!" while every other kid is dancing
DJDaveOtt 7:18 AM - 2 June, 2009
middle school kids just wanna see how far they can push you...like asking for totally inappropriate songs.
i always say to them that they are lucky to have a cool dj like me there and not some old guy playing oldies...right? and they answer yes. then i tell them i have to keep the parents and teachers happy so that i can dj their next dance...so my answer to your request is no.
then i follow it up with something like.."i do like the song, just cant play it here"
and usually they understand

back to the topic
i had a black girl come up to me and request "anything black"
i was in the middle of an old school set...i was playing a mix of eddie murphy's party all the time...
i told her "i dont know too many artists BLACKER than eddie murphy!!"
she was young and didnt get it...

another time
while playing michael jackson's billie jean...
girl comes up and requests "black music"
i told her, "at the time of the recording, michael jackson WAS black!!"

Really, a holiday weekend goes by and not one ridiculous comment or request?

Here is a close as I got. I was djing an art show opening and the after party with a dj/friend who didn't play single song during the actual show. I show up to the spot around 3 to set up and sound check. Tie up some loose ends around the gallery. Doors are to open at 6 so about 20 till I start doing some warm stuff and kick it off. So I end up playing the entire 6 1/2 hours alone. Oh the other dj/friend was their, but every time I asked him to play it was always "man you're killing it, just keep going". I have to admit this ploy worked for a while but at some point I just wanted a brake. So the opening is wrapping up and we're breaking everything down to move to the after party (luckily right next door). We're all set up at the after party spot and he's all "so do you want keep going?". Hell no! By this time its like 12:30 or 12:45 and I'm like "look, you only got like 2 hours left at max! I just came off a marathon set. Again I say No! It's all you the rest of the night." I can't believe how lazy dude was being. All he wanted to do was party and hit on girls. That's fine and all but man you're getting paid to do job so do it. Next time if don't want to work don't book the gig. I'll keep all the money myself.

Thanks for letting me vent.


You better not have paid him a cent of what you received.

someone: I was gonna ask for that...
me: jedi mind trick :D
Laz219 6:37 AM - 10 June, 2009
I've had that one a few times, it's pretty funy when people are bugged out because your ignoring them while mixing and they want to request. They have a little moan and give you dirty looks...finally drop the headphones and turn to them...they hear the song and walk away.

I know this won't be too much of a shock to you guys, but remember I DJ mostly alternative/rock/metal clubs.... so tonight I got my first ever request for the Cha Cha Slide, I nearly bought the guy a drink for asking for it, he was slightly pissed off that I wouldn't play it and he couldn't understand why I kept laughing at him, but hey there was no way I could have explained this thread to him...at least it brightened up a slow Thursday night for me.

ive figured out the key to being able to NOT play the line dance songs....when someone requests one you smile and say sure right away, throw on the track and get everyone lined up and dancing, now do an autoloop on a part like ....to the left.....to the left....so it seemlessly loops without being noticable. The dancers being obvious sheep will keep doing what the songs said until their half way to the damn parking lot then theyll turn and stare at you, unloop the song and theyll hurry to jump back into it, then play a verse and loop a different part....this will piss most of the crowd off royally and theyll stop dancing. After this even if you decide to play the song they wont trust you knowing youll ruin it for them and they wont dance\reqest it anymore. I did this at a gig last weekend and it worked like a charm!!!!

Probably the strangest thing I ever encountered happened while doing a bar gig at a hotel bar right near the UC Berkeley campus. One of my friends worked there as a bartender, and he had gotten a gig set up for our entire DJ crew, spinning house music. The first night they paid us for our performance with free drinks, and they never made that mistake again. They switched us to cash, and we were on a much tighter leash; it was made clear that we would lose the gig if any of us created a traffic menace, drunkenly hollered insults at the security guards, attracted the attention of the local police, did any of the other stuff that happened the first night, or deviated from the contract in any way. Fast forward a few weeks, and it's a relatively slow Tuesday night. There's a much smaller crowd than usual, but still a good group of drunken college kids getting their groove thang on. It's about 10, and there's this table full of older guys that've been giving me the stink-eye the whole evening, and one of the guys gets up and starts walking over.

Old Guy: Hey, can you play something else?

djp: What did you have in mind?

Old Guy: Maybe the Beatles, or some Eagles or something. (points at my turntables) I mean, you have record players, right?

djp: Sorry dude, I don't have anything like that.

Old Guy: But my friends and I are in town for our 30-year class reunion, and we're staying at this hotel, and we don't like this music.

djp: I'm sorry to hear that. The manager of this bar hired me and my friends to play house music in here two nights a week, and this is one of those nights.

Old Guy: (somewhat stunned that his mighty arguments and vast chronological superiority have failed to sway me) But we don't like this music!

djp: Look, I don't know what to tell you. The manager of this place wants house music to draw in the college crowd. That's why there's a special on well drinks tonight, and that's why we were hired to play house music. (I point at the people drinking/dancing) You see? Even if I had some Eagles records or Beatles records, which I don't, I couldn't play them tonight. This (I point at the 3-4 crates of house records on the bench behind me) is all we brought for the night.

Old Guy: (getting red-faced now) But my friends and I came here 30 years ago! And we're trying to celebrate our reunion without listening to this garbage!

djp: Umm, congratulations? I'm really sorry you don't like the tunes, but there's nothing I can do about that. There are at least a half-dozen good bars within three blocks' distance from here if you don't want to listen.

The dude sputtered for a minute and then stormed off, very agitated, and sat back down with his pals, where they all proceeded to give me the stink-eye for at least 20 more minutes before they finally left.

I guess some people are just severely unaccustomed to not getting their way all the time.


I'd say "I'm a DJ, not a help desk."

Gotta hate people who think they can treat DJs as if they aren't human.

I had so many of them last night...all from the same fucking table of douchebags.

1st request was from the leader of the douches, who wanted to hear put your hands up for detroit. He said, "play put your hands up for detroit, i like that song". Generally, I don't like people sounding like they're ordering me to play something when they request a song. Since I was in the middle of mixing two songs, I just nodded and said sure.

Then I'm back around 105 BPM and he comes back and says "PLAY some BIggie...BIg Poppa". This time I gave him a look just nodded. 15-20 minutes later, they send this hot mess of a girl with fake titties and 10 lbs of make up on her face to request "rap". While I'm playing "Bizarre Love Triangle", she asks if I always play this Techno stuff. LMAO

Some of the other things she said -
"Everyone in the bar wants to hear some new rap"
"I like this techno stuff too, but since there is no dancefloor here, why don't you just play the radio rap music?" (Its a sports bar)
"I grew up here, I know what all these people like" (the bar was opened by a friend of mine that I used to spin with just 2 years ago)
"I'm friends with the owner" (There are 3 owners and I"m the one who is friends with all of them...and they don't know you, bitch!)

The leader of the douches came back at least 3 more times to request Big Poppa...finally played it for one verse and the hook before i mixed out of it...its a song I would play any time for almost anyone, just not when you're being a bitch about it and treat me like your fucking ipod.

Had a girl come up to me the other night while I was frantically trying to get my SL wired up (i'd forgotten my USB lead on another boat I'd just finished on) and just talk to me for 10 minutes straight about the sort of music she likes "not that rap shit they're playing downstairs" I barely listened to a word she said but just keep looking up and saying 'yep' and going back to what I was doing.

Before that I was doing a school formal (I guess like prom in America) all underage so no drinking. Pretty ok group...but I had endless requests.

So many girls telling me to play a song 'next' when I'd just gone from that genre into something else (asking for RnB when I'd just started playing house, after I'd played RnB for nearly 2 hours and they were asking for house)

Girls walking up "what song is going to be next?" I'd just point at the screen and they'd walk off to report to their friends. Seriously, you can't wait 2 minutes to find out? These were girls that were loving everything I played and danced the entire night, just felt the need to know what I was planning to play all night.

Worst thing was...one particularly nice girl came up, chatted to me for a while and asked what song I had of somebody. Mostly because she wasn't drinking so I figured it wouldn't be an issue I let her scroll through my crates (only using the keyboard arrows) No issues...she found a few songs and nicely asked if I could play them at some point.
Problem was, later on she seemed to think it was perfectly ok if any of her friends went looking through my laptop. I went to the bar for a drink...came back to three girls behind the booth.
Glad I wasn't using vinyl that night or I'm sure they wouldn've been 'scratching'

Also had some guy that seemed to just want to stand next to me and dance...he came back 3-4 times throughout the night.

me: nope
girl: everyone wants you to (whole room is dancing - look out into the bar, everyone dancing in there too)
me: you asked everyone?

me: ok since you asked every single person... NOPE

i switch the song every minute and a half anyway - people crack me up

I was doing a chili cookoff and I had someone (drunk girl) come over and ask me to turn it down because there was a guy w/ a guitar that was a friend of theirs who was trying to play them his new song.

About 5 months ago I opened up a new club in Hawaii and was there for 2 weeks. Had a blast, meet some cool people and made a few contacts with other club owners.

Last night this club owner calls me up and says " Loved your show and would like to have you come out and do my club for the summer. I need you to bring your speakers and gear and work 3 nights from 9:00pm to 3:00am and I'll pay you $100.00 per night.

Bah hit the wrong button. Continuing on...

What's funny is that I was playing for $500.00 per night plus expenses. What is it that allows a club owner to make that kind of a jump in their minds. Going from seeing a VJ working at a 2 million dollar brand new high-end club to asking that VJ to bring in all my gear, work 6 hours and get paid $100.00 and no door or anything else?

Around 945ish last night, two girls come up to me as soon as I start spinning (had a pre-made mix playing until then so I could finish some video edits). They asked if I could play a song, but she didn't know the name. I was like...alright. She says "since we're the only two people here (they were not), could you play that song that goes 'put your back into it'?" I was like I'll play it, but not right away...since I was playing house music and planned to do so for another hour or so. So she says "so you have to play this shitty music first before you can get to our request?". I just nodded and went back to what I was doing...

Needless to say, I didn't play the Ice Cube song, which I actually like.

Laz219 12:36 AM - 29 June, 2009
I actually skimmed through your post until I got to the songlist and then was just sitting there wondering "how do you even decide to put those songs together?" until I noticed you said wedding.
I actually work as a wedding photographer on weekends I'm not DJing, I would actually love to see anybody form these forums at a wedding DJing because most of the ones I always see are terrible. Running full PC's with CRT's and hacked versions of VDJ, letting it automix while watching a DVD, others that just burnt every song the couple asked for onto a CD and let it play with gaps and all.

Best I've heard actually was micheal buble getting tupac (terribly) scratched over it.

Haha...goes to show how retarded people are. Thank goodness, this entire weekend people were actually happy and were requesting MJ songs. I don't think I had any other requests through the night, except for one girl who has now requested the Thong Song for the past 5 nights I've played at this club...LOL
Caramac 12:45 PM - 30 June, 2009
Lol. You had a good crowd. I came to the conclusion most of them were heathens who don't deserve a dj of my calliber. I wasn't even going that deep on MJ catalogue. But a good majority of them just wanted to hear, bad, thriller, rock with u and beat it etc and nothing else.

At one point I felt to rip my headphones out of the mixer and throw them into the crowd on some FUK U type shit lol.

The others were on when's the MJ tribute going to be played. I'm like you'll hear it when you hear it don't worry. Have some faith in me. I'm not doing an MJ tribute when the doors have just opened.

That happened to me on Thursday because I did two little sets....one around midnight and another one at the end of the night. Those who came in between were like "why aren't you playing ANY Michael Jackson?". SMH

On Friday after the "final" song of the night, ABC's Got You Back, I played Gary Glitter Rock n Roll pt2.

I did a Grad Ball on Sunday and was constantly asked for Jacko, mostly Man in the Mirror, must have played about 10 jackson songs in 2 and a half hours though.
Caramac 12:52 PM - 30 June, 2009
You can't please people lol. I remember I couldn't make one gig once and the promoter thought he'd have a go and cover the gig. He's got the basics down and has enough ish tunes to do it. I get a call about 30 mins into it saying he can't cope with the requests and can't remember who wants what. Lol.

The next week he shook my hand and brought me a drink lol.

hey Alec! Moved over to the Vestax Itch the other week, pretty good stuff, especially as Viper's decks are knackered.

Laz219 1:27 AM - 1 July, 2009
Pretty true, besides the bitchy girls that expect it's a given that you will play a song because they requested it a lot of people do get a little proud to hear their song played, especially if the crowd loves it.

I actually did a day recently with an MC that does shows for backpacker bars that is more about doing games and stuff than the music, he was telling me he usually just plugs his ipod in and plays pre-done mixes that someone made for him.
I showed him with scratch live how to drop songs onto the decks and play them just so he could put something on specific for what he wanted to do (scratch live was on autoplay and I was doing other things) I went back a little bit later and he said to me "it is so hard to pick songs for people you don't know!" I figured that about sums DJing up.

Laz219 11:28 PM - 11 July, 2009
Did an 18th birthday last night..

Basically plan for the night was to start the 1st hour quiet do the cake and stuff and then get down to business. I threw on a mix I recorded a while ago of some older mainstream RnB. After maybe 20 minutes the birthday girl was complaining to her friend about all the 'black music'
I started playing some older house and stuff, still just background type music. While I was setting up a prep crate to use on autoplay I had 2 people come up.

One guy asking for every huge RnB song out at the moment, I explained I would leave them for later when everybody was actually dancing and stuff.
Had a girl do the exact same thing but request every electro/house track.

They were the type of crowd that whenever you change the music another bunch come up to whinge they don't like that and I should play what I just was. I ended up just using the excuse all night of "the birthday girl said ________"

The RnB guy ended up seriously testing my patience all night, about every 3rd-4th song he'd come up and ask when I was going to play one of the songs he'd requested, I kept just saying "soon, I'll get around to it" After a few times my patience was seriously gone so everytime he started talking to me I'd listen for half a sentence then just throw my headphones on and totally ignore him.

Before the cruise had even started the mother had requested DJ alligator- blow my whistle (or in her words 'that blow my whistle bitch song') I haven't had a request or wanted to play that song in a long time.

At the end of the night usually ten minutes before I do the "we're just heading into the wharf now, get your shit and finish your drinks" so that they aren't messing around forever when the cruise actually finishes. Had both the birthday girl and the mother come running up "we still have 10 minutes, I payed you until 12 o clock" It was 11.53 and we still weren't even at the wharf. They then proceeded to get the whole dancefloor chanting for me to play blow my whistle again.

I've never heard that whistle song and I hope I never have to again. It reminds me of tequila shots in TJ, or PV, or Cancun.
Laz219 12:08 AM - 12 July, 2009
Was actually driving me crazy because the dad of the girl whose party it was had a whistle with him and all night just kept whistling that tune.
Socross 12:52 AM - 12 July, 2009
Gawd, I hate that - I was playing a coroporate holiday party a while back and I had three groups. When I played music for one of them, I'd hear something from the other two. I couldn't win! People need to STFU.
DJNelson 3:00 AM - 12 July, 2009
you've just got to do your best to reason with people haven't you. I mean, if someone comes up and requests e.g. Poker Face in the first hour of a four hour gig I'll say, yeah yeah, great song, I'll play it later.

The more you convince them you like the song and are looking forward to playing it, the less hassle you get in my experience. I often say to people "Yeah I'll play it around half twelve/one, if I haven't played it after that remind me!" and it gets rid of them until that period/for ever if they forget.

As well when you're doing parties rather than clubs I don't care about rhythm too much, just satisfying all the main groups. It's not worth concentrating on your mixing etc. just keeping the buggers happy.

Anyway, just my 2 pence.

We've had T in the Park over here so its been one of the worst weekends ever in the clubs - people are either there, staying in, or going out and getting "aff their face". Not the best DJing conditions!

Just as well my usual crowd aren't a T in the Park type crowd, over 600 in tonight.

I dj'ed a Red Bull event this afternoon, an X Fighters motocross thing, so they wanted me to play pounding metal type stuff, which I did, but I had one of the Red Bull staff ask if I could play something a bit more mellow, like coldplay.
DJ4o8 3:58 AM - 12 July, 2009
Can u play some old school hip hop....like some trick daddy!! yeah!
Laz219 4:18 AM - 12 July, 2009
I will usually just explain to the person whinging when I switch music that I have to play a little of everything because there are other people with other tastes. For the most part it seems it's just something they haven't considered and they agree and go away. Every once in a while though you do get that extremely annoying person that thinks everything is about them. The only person I'll really listen to that is like that is the one signing my cheque.

DJNelson- I agree with you on the mixing thing, but it depends on the event. Under 18 parties generally I will just play whatever is requested and not really worry much about mixing.
I've actually had someone complain about beatmixing when I was doing a set for older people. A lady came up and said "why are you playing the songs like this? I can't tell what the next song is properly" I think she must have been one of those people that dances to a song, stops, stands there until she realises what the next song is and then either starts dancing again or decides she doesn't like it and walks off.
DJNelson 11:32 AM - 12 July, 2009
there is nothing worse than mixing a song perfectly and the crowd still doesn't realise what it is until a few seconds of it playing by itself!

I've only done a couple of unders, but what a nightmare, their attention span must be the shortest I've come across! I was literally playing the chorus of each song then onto the next to keep the wee buggers happy.

room - that's alright! We had ~ 200 on both Friday and Saturday, considering the students are away and it tin park it could have been worse, but still...
Caramac 1:26 PM - 12 July, 2009
Had one muppet this weekend hassling me for Serani. Told him I like it and I'll be playing it in a bit. Every 5 minutes he's back leaning over the tables knocking the tone arms trying to talk whilst my headphones are up. He then says he's a dj and I asked him why the fuck are you hassling me then if you're a dj you should know better and stop talking to me when I have my headphones on I can't hear you. (ignoring the fact that it's saturday night and he's in my club).

The week before I was playing some slow jams for the last 10 mins and some guy gave me a tenner to play something more uptempo. Told him to keep his money but he insisted. I took it thought fuck it that's my taxi fayre home. Then he asks to have a spin on the decks as he's a dj. No you can't go dance.

And last night some girl was having a massive go at me because I didn't play an MJ tribute like I have been the past 2 weeks. She then said I asked you to play it for this girl I know because it was the girls birthday. I'm like #### doesn't like MJ why am I going to play it on her birthday?!?! Lol

I still have people asking to play MJ. It's done. There needs to be a line drawn, and it's done. I'll play MJ here and there, but when people ask for tribute sets, I just laugh. Sometimes I'll folow up with a very serious "Who's MJ?" or "When did MJ start making music!? I thought he played basketball."

That and this weekend I was playing some electro, and a girl came up wanting hiphop, so I played a bassline remix of Insane in the Membrane, and the girl comes up saying she wants hiphop again, so I take it a step further and play some Kanye West, and she comes up AGAIN asking for hiphop. *SIGH*

Also 2 weeks ago, a girl came up asking "YO. Whatchu lookin' at!?" ... Ummm... 260 gigs of music... What do you want? "I dunno... Whatchu lookin' at? Whatchu got?" *SIIIIIIIIIIIGH*

white clubbers? This goes for everybody in all colours if you ask me. Seems like a lot of people think they're a "G" because they wear Bling, talk shit and listen to what qualifies as RnB and Hip-hop these days.

But sometimes it's just meant as a joke or humour as well. Me and my friends often talk fake-trash as well, but that's about having a laugh and goofing around mimicing 'real' gansters like 50 Cent :oD. It's all in good fun mate,... but yeah, it's really sad if that guy believes he's the real thing.

Does anyone else constantly get people looking at their laptop and comnig up with questions like:

"Is that itunes?"
"why do you have turntables if you just use a laptop?"
"oh I downloaded virtual DJ too"

Recently I've started getting people asking me seriously about SSL and I figure they must have some proper interest in the software so give them a quick explanation. Most of the time they'll pull out their phone to write the name down when I mention to them "you have to buy this hardware though, it's about $750 and I'm still yet to see anybody manage to hack this program to work without it"
Usually the name gets deleted and the phone put away.

He stood there for about 5 minutes staring at me and I told him I'd get to it. Then he says, "I'm a man that gets what I want when I want it" So I just continued playing whatever I felt like playing. He starts runnin off at the mouth and I pretty much ignored him til he finally went away.

I don't know why people think that telling you that they're leaving soon is gonna get you to play their request any sooner. That just makes me wait til later to play it, If I even play it at all

I was talking to a another DJ who plays at this club on another night after we closed last night outside the place. A group of 3 guys walking by look at me and one of them is like "Hey...DJ...Hardy". I didn't know the guy, neither had I ever seen him before. He was like "you need to get me in there". I didn't know what that meant, so I was like just fill out an application, haha. And then goes on to tell me how he is denied entrance into the club and I should give him a business card so they will let him in using my name.

No thanks!

DJ Benny B NYC 7:23 PM - 10 August, 2009
i had this girl come up saturday night at the end of the night asking for "tonight's gonna be a goodnight" (she said the end of it like "goodnight" not "good night"). It was like 3:30 and i had obviously already played it and because i personally hate it i was like "nope I already played it." So then she sends her friend up to ask and she gets the same answer. A third girl (!!!) came up and asked for it, and I was like "i don't care if you send a fucking army up here I am not playing that shit." So the third girl was like "ok could you play beyonce get me bodied?" I was like sure, but before the current song ended another one of those girls was at the booth saying "excuse me could I ask a question? could you play beyonce get me bodied?" instead of killing her I was just like "sorry I had it but while I was talking to you girls I deleted it out of frustration." they told me to fuck off and left. thankk god!!!

i know if i ever get fired from that gig it will be because some annoying ass girl pushes me too far.

LOL, happened to me before. I've also yelled out "wait the fuck up...." when people touch me while I'm in the middle of mixing two songs or scratching in/out of a song. Then I realize its that hot girl I've been wanting to get with...LOL.

i had a girl who worked at the club lose her mom earlier that day ask me to play something super sad like "tears in heaven" or something...

and she waited until like 1:30, when the club is SLAMMED...

i MAYBE woulda played it super early for her when nobody was really there yet, but i can promise you NOBODY but her wanted to hear that song, LOL... i felt a lil' bad, but i just could not do it... it's a club atmosphere, that's just completely inappropriate..
DVDjHardy 7:30 PM - 11 August, 2009
^That reminds me....this guy used to bartend at a place I DJ'd for a few years. Then he got married and always came to the place I work at right now. A couple of months ago, his wife was there by herself and requested "Blame It" and dedicate it to the memory of Albert....

Needless to say, I played the song like I would have without the request, but didn't give a shout out of any sorts. Why would someone's widow be out partying so soon after he dies, and even worse....request a song called "Blame It" after he died from a brain aneurysm?

I was in a mood on Saturday - I hadn't even started djing yet, just setting up and a drunk girl comes up, "can you do a shout out to my girl...". Hi, yes, I can, when i start djing, I am not actually djing right now....2 mins later, its like Ground Hog day "can you do a shout out to my girl..."....I give same response...

This is in an unopened area, music is blasting, vip/bottle service full, I just haven't started yet...

2 mins later, Ground Hog day...after this one, I am like fuck, I hate these b*tches already..i give same response

Finally start djing...room is 1/2 full...finally, they come up, but now she is whispering...I am like FU*K, can you write it down? They never come back (to me)...

5 minutes later, security guard comes up, can you do a shout out for this girl, I said yes, I do it...

1 minute after I do it, same group runs up, "when are you gonna do the shout out". SECURITY!! "no more peeps up here"

3 mins later , I see a guy jump up on stage, "hey man, these girls really want to here the stanky legg" "No they don't...."....convo over...never made eye contact with him again or look his way...

2 mins after that, another girl comes up and she's like "Oh wow, I am from Atlanta, i really like what you are playing, lots of Atlanta music, can you play the cupid shuffle?" SECURITY!!!

I was playing videos, and played a LONG ASS dance set that had everyone going but the table full of girls, the "stanky legg" dude and the atlanta girl...I didn't get bugged the rest of the night...

I was DJing a fundraiser for breast cancer awareness - they booked a Thursday at my residency at the time. The place was packed, crowd was hyped, but the event coordinator (who was paying, BTW) kept having me announce mortality statistics every 30 min as a way of soliciting donations. The night went sort of like this:

50 Cent "In The Club" thrown in - crowd goes ape (this was a few years ago)

At the coordinator's prompting, "Did you know that cancer claims the lives of 73% of all women between the ages of 24-55? In fact, 80% of all cancer goes undetected for an average 4 years, and you may be at risk right now as we speak."

I felt so stupid, I literally ducked under the booth table before making the announcements.

Luckily, the manager had a sense of humor about this, but man...talk about buzz kill.

Got the other classic last night from another DJ that I'd let browse my crates. (with USB stick in hand) "Can I copy your music?" I've been trying to find stuff like this forever"

last night


stupahoe: what do you have
me: 25,000 songs pick one
stupahoe: something more upbeat than this
me: looks at screen... 128bpms.... ummmm ok what do you have in mind?
stupahoe: well play gorrilla zoe (or however you spell that crap) i know you have it you played it before.
me: um 1st of all i dont play crap so dont bother coming back to my booth. 2nd this is the first time ive ever played this club dumbass.....
DJ Bouj 1:44 AM - 31 August, 2009
lol at stupahoe. is that like super stupid hoe, or some next level shit im not even aware of?
Joshua Carl 3:55 AM - 31 August, 2009
wow...
I just spent a good 20 minutes reading 4 months worth of posts.

this shit sure is global.

Ill offer up my classic "_____ _____ ______ just techno_____ _____"

so, like most...anything over 115 to some people is "techno"
whether its Newcleus or Adam Beyer....I guess its all the same.

so someone usually comes up with some sort of
"do all you play is techno/do u have anything but techno ect ect ect"

as we know, this could be during a pitbull remake, madonna...anything over115.

I pretend, no matter what they "said"
I HEAR will you PLAY some techno.
therefor I reply "Sorry I dont do techno here... you dont look like a techno lover?"

they are usually baffled.
while they are grasping for thought, or trying to correct their question
I follow up with "ya know...DJ ______ is gonna be in town in a few days, he's a
world reknowned techno dj...you shouldnt miss him... we really dont play techno
here though...Im sorry"

they are ususally so mind-fucked they walk away... or say "what is this then?"
and I tell em its what "everyone wants to hear" followed by a point to the dancefloor.


Ive said it a billion times, there is dancefloor psychology that you learn over the years
that you cant learn from a youtube video.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

part 2.
stupid club whores.
they put their tits on your arm.
they make sure their lips touch your ear when they tell u a request
they trot around with their puckered balloon knots and new boobies.

and I love telling them NO.
unless its something in the mix anyways...
but never bend and ruin a few hundred peoples night for some meely-mouthed-crotch-pheasant.

Dj-M.Bezzle 1:32 PM - 31 August, 2009
Lol what's scary is I played a sweet 16 this weekend and there were 3 girls who were probably about 15 who said almost all of these stupid comments LOL I mean literally the stood at the dj table with a packed dancefloor and went right down the line, can you play something good we can't dance to this, nobody likes this sing, this musics to fast to dance too, do you have ice cream paint job cause everyone wants to hear that, if you play stankyleg everyone will dance , do you have ____ well what DO you have.


About 2 hours into this I had to check my iPhone to make sure that I wasn't logged into this thread because I was convinced they had stole my phone and read down the list and were asking to be funney, when I realized they weren't playing I told them "your going to make some poor dj very miserable when you get old enough to go out". They didn't get it of course but I had to laugh everytime they cane to the booth
Joshua Carl 1:37 PM - 31 August, 2009
if anyone has seen "the goods" yet....

its worth it just see the DJ.
he is fantastic...

he keeps getting requests from people...
and he'll nod, smile...say something like "yeah man, you read my mind...Ill throw that on"

then he drops the needle and its the exact opposite of what they requested.
then just sits there and mean muggs em...

its worth going to see the movie just for him.

me: "slow rider"??? what the hell is that?
girl: you know.... "boots with the fur"

also you can save yourself a lot of misery if you just say "what do you mean?" to the following requests (feel free to add on):

Could you play something more upbeat?
Could you play club music?
Could you play dance music?
Could you play something new?
Could you play some old school?

The person could mean ANY type of music... And by "upbeat" they almost never mean "faster."

Other random questions of stupid nature:

1. "Hey, can I spin a couple?" - Random stranger
2. "Can you play a slow song?" - Socially-retarded member of the Stanford Bachelor's Club, an organization which provides refuge in the way of mixers for single guys.
3. "When are you going to play a slow song??" Same socially-retarded member of the Stanford Bachelor's Club, only this time, with angst and 30 minutes older. What is this, a high school dance? BTW, this was peak hour, with the masses a jumpin'.
4. "I asked you to play a slow song, and you didn't. You're an a--hole!!" Third time's a charm. Sort of. I never played a slow song, but I did gain valuable insight as to why you're 45 and still going home to bottle of Jergens.

On a similar note to what Joshue just wrote...

Had another DJ coming into to a a 1 hour set at a place I do most of the jobs for, I expected he would be using CDs decided just to use the denon rackmount dual player that I usually disconnect and replace with turntables..

When the guy came in my SL box was sitting out and he told me he used it as well but was just using CDs because he wasn't sure what the equipment would have been (manager that organised him is clueless about the gear and couldn't answer his questions)

He then proceeded to tell me he had been expecting CDJ's and wish I'd set up the turntables so he could do some "wicky wicky" stuff.

In those exact words.

Crazy chick wouldn't let up either.

The owner of the house came over trippin - "This shit is Killer man! Nice one! Lovin it! Etc!" Two seconds later bitch comes back with "I just talked to the owner and he wants you to stop playing."

WTF - right when she's sayin this the owner of the house bounces over with 2 stiff drinks, one's for me. We have a cheers in front of her.
"Yeah - looks like he's really upset about the tunes :P " As he goes dancing into the floor. Fucking stoopid people. For the record - she still didn't let up after that.

I take all the negativity home with me, I use it as means of motivation, but sometimes, you just can't please some people...F'em

what Ill say about soulja boy.

at least he's mostly light hearted...
fun-inspired club joints for THIS young generation.

do i like his tracks?
~~not one bit.~~

but its better than some of of the other shite in the last few years.
and like I said... its fun, thoughtless stuff...
kinda like the spongebob of hip-POP.

one night this girl would NOT get off my ear.
she felt like she was the elected delegate of the dancefloor, and they had
sent her to parle' with me about which song Id play next.
now dont get me wrong, her requests werent bad...not in the least.
but every 2 songs Id see her leave the floor (she was in fact smoking) and see her
head for the stairs...
Id get that feelin... ya know know... like when a blue-hair pulls in front of you
when your in a rush... like FUUUUUUUUUUUCK ME...WHY!!!!!
Every conversaton started with "EVERYONE WANTS YOU TO PLAY _______"
After the 10th time (no lie)
it went something like this...

"heeeeeeeeeeeeeey deeeeeeeeeeeejay!"
"hey"
"everyone wa-...."
"everyone wants you to shut the fuck up!"
"sorry" (puts head down and walks away)

I felt like I kicked her puppy.
but sure enough she was on the floor dancing in 2 minutes.
it had to be done.

i felt like that one night that we had a hen party in and one girl had one of those things that you blow and it unfurls and goes "HONNNNNNNNNNK" (no misquote!)

she was blowing it half the night and really badly out of time and eventually she caught me giving her a really harsh stare... she looked like she was about to cry, but at least she put it away and stopped making that wretched noise.

Last Saturday night I played at a big 80's nightclub in NJ and some girl kept asking me to play the "sesame street theme song". I said and I didn't have and she said you have a computer download it now. That was my worst request in all my 16 years of djing. lol

Check out Soulja Boy's "Yaaaahhh". There's a Wideboys remix that's way better than the original, but regardless, the lyrics totally fit this thread.

I once did a hip-hop remix and dropped the sesame street theme song as an instrumental loop, half-way through the acapella. No one really noticed and kept dancing until the "sunny days..." kicked in... lol.... one guy got really really mad at me - even though he was dancing to the instrumental 10 seconds earlier

ok this isnt a request I got, but a post a few back about the girl walking away with her head down like you had kicked her dog reminded me of this gig I had a few months back.

It was out in the country (I live in Texas so when I say country I mean country). This was a graduration party and While I was setting up the grads sis asked me if I would like a plate of food. I was like na, I'm busy setting up maybe later. She then says, well I dont think you would want some anyways. I ask why? She says that it's Bacon. I'm like well I like bacon. She's says, no it's our pet pig Bacon we slaughtered him earlier today to cook for the party. I was like, good thing I ate before I came.


Well later in the gig they tell me to make an announcement they'll putting the food up if anyone would like one last plate. I get teh mic and say, "OK everybody they will be putting the food up if you like a plate....R.I.P Bacon, he gave his life to feed us."

The girl was dancing, she stopped looked up at me with a sad face and ran off head down.
Joshua Carl 9:55 PM - 3 September, 2009
with a name like bacon you know he was the most neurotic pig ever, sleeping with
one eye open...

Ha ha, I know someone would say something like that.
It's a 2 floor bar, and actually nothing ghetto about it at all, they never even play any rap/hip-hop there. It's in the central of Oslo, Norway. Main guests are students, hipsters, musicians, white/blue collar workers etc, age 22-35.

I did at no point feel intimidated by them, just felt really sorry for him, as he was putting on a sad/sappy face. Then again they might have med fooled ;-)

The request was Stone Roses, was rather happy to play it....

Normally the crowds I play for are very open to an ecclectic array of tunes throughout the night, and I've never actually had a rediculous comment or request...until this weekend. Not so much of a comment or request, but I was into some house, louis laroche or something, and this one dude keeps yelling "Skiiiiiip, Skiiiiiip, Skiiiiiip" at the top of his lungs! I couldnt believe what hearing because A) ive never had someone ask me to skip a track B) NO ONE has ever had the balls to act so fuckin beligerent as to yell SKIP! in the middle of a dance floor.

Not really the type to have someone kicked out of my venue either, because we dont really have official security, other than the doorman, and people are usually able to control themselves to a certain degree.

Needless to say, I gestured him over with a big smile on my face, he came prancing over, i put my hand on his neck, got really close, and told him if i heard his voice one more time over my music, he would take a face dive down the front steps. Lol, man did that catch him of guard...he shut his mouth and walked over to the bar. Didnt even see him the rest o the night..

Think it's possible considering what you were playing at the time that mabye he's not familiar with house and he thought the cd was skipping....prob though he was doing you a favor for letting you know the cd was skipping and when he came over for his congrats you threaten to piledrive him lol

Laz219 4:54 AM - 14 September, 2009
I did a fairly long post last night but my internet disconnected before it went on...

Short version...
I work on boats a lot, one of my regulars asked me to go on and just keep an eye on the sound gear because another (notoriously shady) company were using his boat because there's had been pulled from survey (like registration for a car)

They were just playing the ministry 09 Annual but I had a look through a couple of their other CDs, all DJs promo mixes. Halfway through the night (and the 2nd time the MOS cd had played through) I decided to hook up SSL and mix just to pass the time quicker.
Went pretty well, had a bunch of people dancing which the people doing the cruise didn't think was remotely important (hence their lack of ever having a DJ)

End of the night the manager came up to me "You're pretty good man, you should make us a mix CD" before I could even respond one of the guys I regularly work with was saying over my shoulder "you want him to mix for you, hire him onto your boat, don't just try and get a free CD off him"
That summed it up perfectly.

"Yeah I know, just play the youtube version, that's fine"
"It doesn't work like that"
"Yes it does" and then proceeds to try and use my laptop.

Same night...

"hey does this play like...ipod stuff?"
"no."
"well can you play a good song then?" (sexy bitch playing)
"I am, about 20 people have asked for this in the last ten minutes"
"well play something different...what if i get an ipod?"
"it doesn't work like that, go get me a record and we'll talk"
Then she tried standing over my left table with a drink in her hand and bitched at me when I told her to back the fuck up and stop bothering me.

Also same night, Swing playing...also requested multiple times...
Girl runs up to me and says "NEXT!"
"Oh are you DJing tonight? No, when you're DJing then you can pick the songs, go away!"

Not to mention one individual that kept trying to get me to play bloody beetroots when I was playing to a top40 crowd. I tried explaining that I'd like to play that but the crowd would have my head...came up to me about 10 times telling me how "everyone wants to hear it" and "trust me, this is what everyone wants to listen to".

I do mostly weddings and I hate when people try to invoke the bride and groom in their bogus requests.
A few months ago this girl says she's the bride's "sister" (she wasn't) and that I shouldn't play anything from before 1975 since it won't mean anything to her. This during cocktails and dinner when the bride had requested various oldies for that time of the evening. The "sister" was also trying to look at my laptop when I walked away. The bride apologized and told her not to touch my stuff.

Last week the bride asked for the B52s Rock Lobster for the last dance. I played a last slow dance then announced the last dance and played the B52s. This girl who had been a pain about requests and saying the bride wants this or that came up again:
girl: this can't be the last song.
me: it is (it's 9:00 and local law music cut of is 9pm for that area)
girl: well the bride and groom said this can't be the last song
me: the bride and groom requested this for the last song
girl: oh.... and walks away

My Sat. gig was great except......

"Can you play some Doobie Brothers?" (I was in the middle of a lil jon party break) and the guy was dead serious even after the look i gave him

I had a drunk guy who requested the SAME songs every 15-20 minutes and each visit led to a drunken ramble that continued and got worse with each visit. Right when I was about to lose it a bouncer came over.

Had not one but two drinks spill right next to my power strip.. Even had the manager freaking out on the customers with me.

Had a fat girl who thought it was ok to come to the booth and kiss me cus I played the song she requested.

This was told to me by a cocktail waitress. Apparently a lady asked a bouncer for the manager because I wouldn't play her song and she requested it an hour ago multiple times. He apparently told her to go fuck off in those exact words.

Otherwise a great gig. Sigh....The joy and pain of some nights

One of my reg spots decided to do a sunday party post football. so I was like alright, whatever...I normally do their "hip hop" night, but the place usually draws a more upperscale white crowd...so hip hop wasn't working as well as the white girl ish, and for having 50 peeps, 40 would be dancing to the white girl ish...

Out of nowhere, 2 dudes that don't match the party at all roll up and say "Hey man, when are you gonna play some new hip hop?". I said I'd be getting around to it...of course they wanted to talk mid mix, and one all of a sudden says "How about some public enemy and ghetto boys" just as I drop POKER FACE and it gets all these screems. wrong crowd homie...he just walked away sad...

YES JOSH - I play for the ladies so when DUDES ask for <insert hot garbage here> , I disappoint them by not playing their requests...

I think you are spot on, I think that they feel like they have paid their money for drinks, entrance, and now should be able to hear the music they want to hear. I stick to format. I am hella happy to play requests that fit format...

and then act like you run the place.

saturday night:

woman: "I wanna hear that Michael Buble dance song. All nine minutes of it."

i was confused and couldn't speak for a good ten seconds. i didn't know whether to respond to not having any music by that singer, the fact that playing something like that would go over like a lead zeppelin, or the fact that she's demanding a nine minute song.

me: "Uh...i don't have any Michael Buble."

and then she follows it up with...

woman: "So I'm unlucky then?"

me: "Yes."

what the fuck did 'luck' have to do with it??

it's like some people aren't even from this planet

+1.

But in all fairness, there are a LOT of dumb ass people out there, and any one of these stories could happen. I have had quite a few experiences similar to what I am reading.

Lately my nemesis has been this guy who's a regular at one place I play at. He is a really nice older guy who is trying to be friendly, but he only speaks maybe 8 words of English. I took spanish in high school, but this guy speaks way too fast and way too drunk for me to follow.

This guy is FOREVER coming up and trying to talk to me, and I can see the frustration in his face that he can't get his point across. He says things like "you! you good DJ!" and then rambles on a few sentences that I can't make out a word of. At first it was funny but it's gotten to the point where he is just throwing me off when he comes up!

And he always, without fail, asks for Santana and "Madonna Isla Bonita".

lol.
O.B.1 7:14 PM - 25 September, 2009
i have a regular just like him, only he always wants Bob Marley...
he usually buys me a beer so i am happy to play it for him.

"I no wanna waiting for your love" is how he always tries to sing it to me as if I don't know by now...

I was DJing an 100-turntable set at the world's largest megaclub ever, and a school-bus containing every supermodel in existence pulled up. They came up as a group, COMPLETELY INTERRUPTING MY FLOW, and asked me to play "something they could dance to". (I was right in the middle of my De La Soul megamix, CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!?!)

Anyway, they all offered unlimited sexual favors but since I am SO ALOOF, and I possess SUCH MUSICAL INTEGRITY, I promptly ignored them and came straight to Serato.com to post all about it!

Had a middle school gig for 2 hrs tonight, squeezed in between my day job and my weekly fri night residency. Ah, those bastard middle school kids...

At least 50 (not exaggerating) requests for "Jerk" (You're A Jerk)
And at least 10+ requests for Soulja Boy, Eminem, Lil Wayne, Miley Cyrus/Hanna Montana, Barbie Girl, Jonas Brothers, Low, Single Ladies, On A Boat, Taylor Swift, Michael Jackson, etc.

Some douchebag-to-be even requested "Jerk" while I was playing it...said to play it next after being told it was already on. Also happened to "One Time" by whoever sings that whiney song.

Been doing this gig ~once a month for 5 years now and it brings new lows for my DJ career every year, haha.
O.B.1 10:22 AM - 26 September, 2009
just got home from one of my monthly gigs, and I have to say I think it was one of my better nights. Lots of ladies shakin it, and any requests I did get were for underground hip-hop(grouch/eli/living ledgends/slug/atmosphere) that's my ISHt!
so I was stoked to play it for 'em. I worked my way in and out of tempos/genres.
Then this girl (who was one of the people requesting the good stuff) asks me if I have a girlfriend. I say "no" and she says she "might be in love with me" At this point I showed the drunk girl my wedding ring and said "I have a wife" and she left, but kept dancing. I guess it was still kinda rediculous d=o)

Lol by that point they just want to hear something specifically for them. If I sense a convo this way I'll suggest something tolerable from my genre. For example I play shed loads of rnb and chart rap. If someone is on some play this I usually say nah I can't but do you like Beyonce. They should 9/10 say yes so I'll say I'll play a brand new tune for you then and they say cool.

of course some people are just difficult. lol.

The owner of my "fallback bar" (where I play any Friday or Saturday that I don't have bigger and better shows booked) came up to me right before I started on Friday and says "...so how far are you from being able to do Karaoke?"

I said "in equipment or in desire? It would only be a few hundred in gear but I really don't want to do it."

This bar is in a small town, and is hit and miss... some nights packed, some nights regulars only... but it HAS been picking up across the board since I started doing video.

He says "I was just thinking about trying it out a night or two a month to pull a different crowd, and figured I'd rather pay you than pay someone else."

I told him to book a karaoke DJ for one of the nights where I am booked in the city. I did a couple karaoke shows in my early career and PROMISED myself never to do it again until I was at least 50 and washed up lol.

I was doing this Rooftop party this past Saturday, It was themed (Havana Nightclub 1950s) It was invite only and basically upscale. I was asked to play upbeat dancy music all nite... There was a generous bar and people got tipsy real quick. At about 12:30 a guy comes over with this highbrow condescending look and is like, "Hey guy...this is a 1950s themed party, we kinda want to hear some 50s music...." He eventually finnished his sentence, but I cut him of in the middle extending my hand and saying, "Hi... Idlemind, Nice to meet you... and you are??" he reluctantly shakes my hand and I continue... "You are supposed to DRESS like you are going to club in HAVANA in the 1950s. and I imagine you've got that part down... but since I dont have a 15-piece orchestra with me right now, I'm going to play what I was hired to play."

He goes, "If you were good, you could Improvise." I said, "If I wouldnt get caught, I'd throw you over the rail."

A girl last night but thought it was hilarious, did it about every 2-3 minutes either looking at me with a big smile or whoever was next to her at the time. It's not that funny.

Everything's a joke to drunk girls!

Just wondering...is this a diss or a prop

A few weeks ago a lady said I looked like i graduated from M.I.T.
Nicky Blunt 1:42 PM - 10 October, 2009

she was probably refering to all of the electronics you were operating,
(certain decks/mixers take on a spaceship dashboard look in a dimly lit booth)
I'd say it was a positive remark (some people can't even hook up a dvd player)

I once had a chick who's reception I was deejaying tell me to "not get creative with my f@#king party" I then put it on autoplay and switched to internal and began breaking down my shit. It was the longest four hours of my life.
Caramac 5:01 PM - 10 October, 2009
sorry but ha ha.

I had one of those boring nights last night. I ended up snapping at some girl as wel. She kept asking for songs that I'd played already and sitting there trying to think of something new. I'm like why don't you just go dance with anyone else instead of trying to out dj me.

I swear some people just want to say that they requested a song to all their mates.

I think it makes them feel important! Like I told him to play this, look at how packed the dancefloor is! (after requesting a certified floor smasher that you would have ended up playing anywayz).

Its all part of the fun & games of club dj'ing!

The club me & my friends run is a Drumz event so we never get any requests Drumz crowds seem to be well trained in the dont piss the dj off with requests type stuff! & generally you are away from the crowd anywayz!

The top 40 crowd is a whole different animal!

That's it exactly they can say oh I chose this. I'm normally pretty calm and was civil yesterday but just wasn't in the mood to be playing games.

So like any dj, I get my share of requests through the night, odd and normal, birthday shout outs, and all the tipsy folks you can handle. I was having a semi good night last night, playing some good songs, mixing great in the right spots, whatever. I got into a lil groove and in the corner of my eye I see a reasonably attractive woman with both hands on the dj booth, kinda freaking on it, and smiling at me. I was like OK, this ought to be good. So eventually she comes up and she's like "Hi! I want to be your personal trainer". Inside "Huh what?". My reply "Ooookaay". "I want to be your personal trainer but I want you to play me a song". I am good at rollin my eyes and lifting my eyebrow and somehow I managed to both at the same time.

"You're really good and I am a good personal trainer and I wanna be your personal trainer, but will you play me my song." The whole time she is bouncing right in front of me as if she is my dancing partner. "Ok what is it?" still wondering if this is for real. "David Guetta 'Sexy Bitch'". I say "oh no problem, I got you". An intelligent request, I was baffled. She comes back with "Seriously, I want to be your personal trainer and I am gonna come back and give you my number after you play my song". "Alright!" and I share a look with the bouncer next to me and he gives me a "She was hot" look. I was like WTF! How badly do I look that I obviously need a personal trainer??? I usually feel some sort of pride when a hot girl comes up and chats, but I felt somehow dissed.

I'd say I played her song within 10 minutes, and when I did I got a big huge group of ladies all hands in the air, yelling, screaming and her in the middle saying thanks. She never came back to become my personal trainer. It was a pretty big laugh though.
skinnyguy 7:45 PM - 11 October, 2009
i think she wanted an excuse to give you her number and now she's expecting your call hoping you'll fall into her "trap"

Did a job on Saturday night, they were a pretty quiet group to start with so I was just playing some older house stuff. I slowly started bringing it up and a girl came up to ask for summer rain...No problems I thought so I put it on within a couple of songs.
Bad choice, the girl then figured that'd mean I'd play anything she asked for straight away and spent the rest of the night bugging me.
She came up with her sister at one point to ask if I had a certain Guetta track with 'love' in the name (which is quite a few) so I searched Guetta Love while they were watching, she told me which one it was and then walked off. For the rest of the night they both thought it was ok to come up and just start searching my computer for whatever they wanted, Everytime I'd just push their hand away and ask what they were trying to find....Did a quick run to the bar only to have what was playing suddenly in internal and reverse with one of the girls standing there looking confused.

Had endless requests written on phones that night too, but one guy in particular kept coming up "Akon- Sexy Bitch" considering it's the biggest song in Australia right now I was definitely going to play it but he kept coming back like I'd forgotten.

This lady calls me for a potential booking... (for the Friday before Halloween) I give her a price and we agree on it. (nothing in writing) she asks for some references, I give them. Then as the days go by she starts emailing me, quoting the price we agreed on MINUS $50. So I forward her the original information with the Argeed upon price... and she keeps quoting the lower one (that was never discussed) even going so far as to EDIT my portion of the text when replying.. At this point I dont have a deposit or anything from her and in my book I'm kissing this one GOODBYE; but i still want to play along. She eventually calls me back saying that her price is better and thats the one we will have to go with... or I can take her OTHER offer... Shes having a giant event a month and a half from now... (according to her a $2500 booking) If I do the Halloween party FOR FREE she will give me the $2500 booking for the other gig. I didnt have alot of time to think and this was all on the phone....

But I said... "OK, I'll do it... heres how it will have to go. I'll do your Halloween party for $2500 and I'll do the giant event you are having for free...."

She hung up in the middle of me laughing....

three days later, some one booked me for the same day, $100 more than her gig.

djbigboy 6:25 PM - 12 October, 2009
People are weird...once you are established as a dj, the weekends aren't a matter of being booked but which gig will you do...so for me, if someone calls and tries to low ball, i will just tell them, I can do your gig, or I can do another gig I am gonna get paid X amount...you are gonna have to do better...if its mobile, they are gonna have to do a lot better then my easy ass club gig....if the client can't do the price, its all good, I still have a gig...

Now, Halloween and that weekend, that a premium weekend. You're gonna have a gig and its just a matter of how much does the person booking want you there...

I hate it when people want you to do one gig for cheap because you might get more gigs in the future. ESPECIALLY when they say that the gig will be "good exposure." What a load of crap. I've been tempted just to say "Ok, I'll charge you $200 extra, and the first gig I get as a result of this one I'll give you $100 back." People are fine having me mortgage my future, but when they're in on the deal suddenly it's not so attractive.

Lately my nemesis has been this guy who's a regular at one place I play at. He is a really nice older guy who is trying to be friendly, but he only speaks maybe 8 words of English. I took spanish in high school, but this guy speaks way too fast and way too drunk for me to follow.

This guy is FOREVER coming up and trying to talk to me, and I can see the frustration in his face that he can't get his point across. He says things like "you! you good DJ!" and then rambles on a few sentences that I can't make out a word of. At first it was funny but it's gotten to the point where he is just throwing me off when he comes up!


I used to go through the same thing with a deaf guy at a bar I used to spin at. He was deaf but would be at the bar every night and just loved to see me DJ. He would try to tell me stuff but I had no idea what he was saying.

Concert version is waayy different than the album cut.... took alot of editing to get this footage to line up properly, but is definitely a hit when I play it

yeah... i forget what service I bought it from... might have been "yourremix"
I dont have my drive with me so I cant look.
its good, it flips to whomp there it is at the end.
cheesy, but a big pop-floor killer.

someone somewhere did a very simple, but very effective edit of the song.
reminiscent of the house mixes back in the late90s...
synced it up perfectly with that classic video (where steve perry is rockin
the yellow wanna-be-1/2 shirt.
It might have even been on promo only or mixmash.

when I get to my gig tonight Ill take note of those 2 versions for ya.

she bolts for the stairs and runs toward me in the booth...
tatas popping all over the place, looking hot as hell...
as she gets closer..Im thinking damn... she's hot... do i know her or something?


"Im here with a bachelorette party, will you play the macerena, or the electric slide"
I just sank my head....no, sorry.

I died a little inside, and still recovering.

This weekend I got the "man... you gotta quit cutting the songs short. We love ya and you're playing great music, but I hate it when you drop the last verse"

To which I replied, "if you like the song, get out there and dance, or at least be bobbin' your head so I know you're feelin' it. I try to get as many songs as I can in on any given night, and if I'm not getting any reaction, it's 2 verses and on to the next!"
Joshua Carl 8:30 PM - 19 October, 2009
Ive watched countless dudes drop just the intro or the 1st chorus...or just the 1st verse...
ALL NIGHT.

no matter whats happening on the floor.
just working right down the tracks in the crate.
its a 4 hour megamix, and formulaic at that.
adhdj 8:34 PM - 19 October, 2009
yeah, I try not to be that predictable. ;) Good songs or songs that are packing the floor get full play.

I think he was bitching about me mixing out early of "I got a feeling"...

Having the contrary happen can be weird too.
This Gorgeous blond came in, long hair, cute face, perfect body, baggy pants and a tight tanktop. She came up and I was expecting some request about Timbaland or Madonna.
"Hey do you have some old school hiphop with fat breaks, or tracks from One Self with Vadim, I'm a big fan of their stuff"
*pleasantly surprised and confused* "sure!!! One Self coming up!"

Next thing, this chick heads to the dancefloor, puts on a hat and tucks away her hair... and she starts BREAKDANCING. Not just some cool moves and drops but also stuff like helicopters etc...
My jaw dropped to the floor, took me 10 minutes before I was able to close my mouth again :o)

@ DVDJHardy
LOL, no, this was in Mechelen, Belgium :o). But my reaction was the same... "Mary me!!!"

@ Nik39
Yes, absolutely, One self has great stuff. Saw them live in 2003 when they came together with Vadim. I only knew Vadim, never heard of one Self, and thought "if Vadim is backing it, it can't be bad". Went to the concert and was blown away by some soulful organic asymmetric hip-hop. Stil like "blue bird", love "be your own".

"ok, so why dont you shut up and go fuck your self" (mind you the dude was giving me the nasty attitude)

it worked so thats all that counts, I think he left, which is all the better.


when people ask me for a request, i always say that, "Are You Paying Me?"

and then they jut look at me n piss off

but i get asked to play a lot of hard house or techno when im playing at a electro club

"one of those nights"

well that was last night.

2 major nimrods.
one group of double-cougars...
"theres a bunch of us here that are all over 45, can you play something for us"?
(seriously got this 8 times...)
of course I played some cheeky video remixes of earth,wind & fire ect ect.
but the last time, I was just like "are you serious...was there a dicorce' meeting tonight"
and then I felt guilty, cause it wiped the smile off her face instantly Like I pissed in her cherrios.

but why do people feel like announcing their obscure age will help there situation.


doofus #2

5-6 requests for slow songs
the curve. His first request was for comptons most wanted (I had just played bone-thugs) so, when I saw him come back i figured this was more good
requests... but ones I just cant get away with in this room.
nope.
he flipped to great 90s R&B.
Jodeci, Shai, SIlk....
all stuff I love... but it has NO PLACE in this room.
I of course explained... he started digging for money.
after about 30 songs he could think of (Ill make love to you, lately, ....)
he told me it was him and his girlfriends 5th anni.
I of course asked... so you though bringing you girlfriend to meat-market was a
good idea for a 5th anni?
I didnt see him again.

must have been a full moon or something.

I was doing this Rooftop party this past Saturday, It was themed (Havana Nightclub 1950s) It was invite only and basically upscale. I was asked to play upbeat dancy music all nite... There was a generous bar and people got tipsy real quick. At about 12:30 a guy comes over with this highbrow condescending look and is like, "Hey guy...this is a 1950s themed party, we kinda want to hear some 50s music...." He eventually finnished his sentence, but I cut him of in the middle extending my hand and saying, "Hi... Idlemind, Nice to meet you... and you are??" he reluctantly shakes my hand and I continue... "You are supposed to DRESS like you are going to club in HAVANA in the 1950s. and I imagine you've got that part down... but since I dont have a 15-piece orchestra with me right now, I'm going to play what I was hired to play."

He goes, "If you were good, you could Improvise." I said, "If I wouldnt get caught, I'd throw you over the rail."


lol 15-piece orchestra....hillarious..lol

There was a dance event at my club yesterday before I started spinning. So I walk in just before 9pm and there are about 200 people already there waiting for the performance starts. The lighting guy was supposed to play songs for their routines from someone's ipod. So I'm chilling in the DJ booth re-tagging some videos and some girl comes up with requests already...she wanted to hear something "hype" while some house music was blasting out there. Her request was for "Gucci Mane - Wasted". Told her that I'm not DJing just yet, and when I do start playing it'll be dance music...no Gucci Mane. Of course she's too dumb and too pushy to accept that. She tried to argue with me for literally 5 minutes (while I tried to be nice about it) until I had to ask her to leave the DJ booth.

I roped up the booth after that hoping that nobody would come in, and she kept coming up to me after I started playing and requested "Plies - Becky" while I'm playing a song by Hatiras. LOL. Finally got rid of her by telling her to either dance with everyone else or go to some other place that will play those songs...because I won't.
DJ Benny B NYC 6:51 PM - 25 October, 2009
not really a request, but last night this dude came up to me:

dude: i lost my wallet, could you tell everyone to look around on the ground for it
me: no sorry i dont have a mic
dude: so youre not going to help me then

he did not believe i didnt have a mic and thought i was just lying to him! he got really aggro and he ended up getting in the bouncers face and thrown out

Last Friday this guy asks me to play West Coast stuff, which is great. So, I play some stuff and he gives me 3 dollars. I get on the mic about 15 minutes later and he comes up "Yo, let me say something on the mic". I say, "Nah man. The mic is off limits to everyone but me.". He's all, "but I already gave you money". hahahaha

So, anyway, I just laughed about it. I should've told him that for 3 bucks I would let him hold the mic for me... but I was nice. Anyway, he was cool about it. I played some other stuff he liked (without him requesting it) and he gave me 20 bucks.

Cool guy but I just thought it was funny that he felt 3 dollars entitled him to speak on the mic. lol

I've never heard the song but I know if its a song by Plies, I'm not gonna like it!

Also that same night, some chick was hanging out in the DJ booth for about an hour or so. My MC thought she was with me, and I thought she was his friend...at some point this girl asked me when my birthday was...she then said I'm gonna do some numerology on you. WTF is that? Turns out, according to her "number-crunching", I am a generally pessimistic, materialistic guy who gets involved in relationships too easily. Those who know me would tell you that it couldn't me any more opposite...LOL. I am very blunt though, so had to tell the bitch to get the fuck out of my booth at that point.

Not sure why I remembered this but I managed to sweet talk some girl into listening to nothing but brand spanking new music for an hour when it was early doors a couple of months back. It all started by her asking for Jeremiah's B'day Sex literally as soon as we'd opened up. I was saying how she had good taste in music and I wanted to test out some new songs on her to get her and her mates reaction. All the songs I got that week that I wanted to hear on a big system I got her and her mates to grade. Made her feel all special lol. She even liked a few of them.

DJ Dill Pickle 9:42 AM - 29 October, 2009
ok, here goes:

Long time ago - cdj 100s just came out, borrowed a pair off a mate as i didn't have as good, and set up on a narrow but study counter, over looking the lower dance floor. perfect spot.

things going very well for a mobile, and some kids are hanging 'round me chatting to each other, they finally say hi - don't remember asking for songs but one guy...

in the group, goes "can we have ______ (crap song)", pointing to deck, in one motion - knocks the cdj of the counter. Completely get his hand under it and flips it off. it falls over

I must of had a cd in my hand at the time. I lost it. Really. he would have been 3-4 years younger than me; grabbed his collar shoved him on the nearest wall and found myself jamming the edge of the cd in his neck! under his chin!

I'm screaming over the music; "you want what?!!!! YOU WANT WHAT?!!!!"

cdj was fine. never lost it like that again - just cry and laugh on the inside.

Unfortunately I don't have any strippers to work with. But I would have the exact same reaction. I'd reply "sure, coming up!!!" and immediately start playing "Fuck me on the Dancefloor" by Princess Superstar hoping to get her attention with my "great" DJ-skills. Realizing only the next day "DOH, she WAS interested, idiot!!!"


I did get dragged out of my DJ booth by a girl once though. Was a rather slow night at the bar. This dude (a regular), bugged me a few times, saying he had been a great DJ and if he could spin a few tracks. I replied "no way, no one touches my equipment".
Then this gorgeous blonde American girl walks in, starts shaking her ass, requests a couple of songs, buys me a couple of drinks. Suddenly she walks up again to me, so I expect another request, but starts begging I should and come dance with her, pulling my arm in the meantime.
As I said, no one every touches my equipment... unless there's a good reason of course :o).
Turned around, "yo dude!!! So you're a great DJ? Prove it!!!" Tossed him my headphones and proceeded to have a ... "great" evening :o)

This did not happen to me, but my at my buddy's gig this friday.
He's playing a 60s R&B set, some rockabilly, girl groups of the 60s etc.

A group of 20 deaf girls arrive, all dressed up in 30s and 40s wear.
Then they start requesting songs by handing him notes.
Also this one translator comes up to him and ask for stuff.
They don't really dance, but stand around and watch him spinning.

Bizarre....

Had some woman who inbetween trying to pull my pants down (not in a sexy way the girl was that drunk lol) and telling me I looked like some guy she met out in Ibiza wanted to hear the new Cheryl Cole song. Told her I didn't have it would she want something else instead. Yes. BEP. Cool

2 mins later it's like bloody ground hog day. I look like someone she met in Ibiza and could I play some Cheryl Cole.

After the 3rd time I just told her it was playing just for her (I don't even have the song lol) and she went on her way to dance and never came back.

I had a chick last night ask the door guy for the owners number cause I didn't play her request.


a while back some girl actually wrote a letter to the club complaining about me cos i wouldn't do a birthday shout-out.

i had explained to her that i don't carry a microphone, cos we don't do that kinda thing, but she complained "i can't believe he couldn't be bothered, it would have taken him five seconds."

best bit was that she asked my friend first. who was just standing talking to me, and in her letter she complained about "both djs"

duh

at one of the clubs I used to dj at, they would've printed it out and put it on the wall...good or bad, they always printed out emails from customers...this is what we are good at, this is where we need work.....some of the crap people come up with, you'd swear they were the only ones in the club and they were paying their whole years salary to be there...

the place across the street, where my boy djs had a shit show this weekend

we all know, when groups of girls come in, they come up one at a time asking for the
same song, or a shout out...thinking we dont know they are all together.

so finally... the "Atilla" of the group ask my buddy for a bday shout.
the mic was literally broken....
he already told the preceeding 5 girls.
so, the last one, in her roundness, acting sweet starts talking about random stuff
with him... and ends at "so... you graduated college?
yeah... maybe 7 years ago he says.
she comes back with..
so, why dont you use your fucking college educated P-brain to fix the mic.
he started laughing... figuring she was just messing with him...
she stood there stone faced.
so, he basically said well, even if i could get it working, theres no way im doing it now.

so, proceeds to go outside and call the police...
police show up, grab manager.
she says thedj grabbed her tits, and when she wouldnt blow him he spat in her face,

of course there were 3-4 people in ear shot of the whole thing who told the mgr
that was a left-field story...and in the time that it took the manager to get the story
from the boys the cops were looking to tell her nevermind... the girl left they knew
she was lying from the start.
but my said for that 15 minutes he almost had a heart-attack...even though
he did nothing.

i've started saying

"oh my god that's an AMAZING coincidence - you'll never guess what - the last girl asked for the EXACT SAME SONG!"

and it's usually embarrassed them into slinking off

about not using the mic - when i've tried to explain why we don't do shout-outs i tend to say "look, if i say 'happy birthday____' then eight people (your friends) will go "whoooop" and eight hundred (everyone else here) will go "who? shut up and play the song" but that never seems to satisfy them :(

Had a girl the other night when I first started "can you play ________" can't think of the song anymore, it was country though (at an RnB spot)

I was a bit rushed when she first came up and made the mistake of just saying "yeh, I'll see what I can do" just to get rid of her. She then proceeded to come up every 2-3 songs and just restate the name of the song. I started just putting my headphones on whenever I saw her coming, till I eventually told her to leave me the fuck alone. So she did the usual, send a friend to ask for it and expect me to think it's somebody else that wants it as well.

Ended up just saying "I don't even have the fucking song, even if I did I wouldn't play it because your friend has been annoying me about it all night. That's not how you get any DJ to play something for you"

So of course she went off ranting about how bad of a DJ I am, Headphones straight back on.

I usually allow 10 seconds to get to their point. After that, I just give them a thumbs up and go right back to work (or pretend to). I don't have the patience to deal with slurred speech in a loud environment.

If someone is persistent with their request, I just pretend to forget who they are and what they requested. So far, works well, because in their intoxicated state, they'll actually forget they asked for something.

I think the manager was referring to "high energy" rather than "uptempo"
Ice Cream Paint Job and Kanye - Flashing Lights are around the same tempo but I guarantee you at 90% of hip hop clubs, Ice Cream Paint Job will get the crowd more hype. I don't agree with the fights part though.
DJ Michael Basic 5:40 AM - 5 November, 2009
That's only because Ice Cream Paint job is the current hotness and Flashing Lights is old news...come back in a year and play both songs and see which one gets the crowd more hype...Ice Cream Paint Job is disposable, and will be completely forgotten in half a year.

As for shout outs...at one of my spots I just charge $5 for a birthday shout out...and if they complain about it I say, "Well, once I do a shoutout, everyone else wants one, so charging $5 keeps me from doing a million shoutouts all night, which makes the one I'm gonna do for you more special.

Me: ("Stanky Leg", "Swag Surfin", "Turn My Swag On", "Ain't I" all in a row got the whole club rockin!)
Club Manager: Play something to lighten it up.

Turns out he's the manager because he put in the least amount of money. So he has the most work but the least authority. And from what the other dj told me there will be a "banned songs" list soon... Stay tuned for more buffoonery....

PS. Newest banned song? "Five Star Bitch" by Yo Gotti. And "... play "Swag Surfin" early so they don't get too hyped before closing time." I bullshit you not, my brethren.

its all relevant to where you work.
you cant try to bring the ghetto-pass arsenal to the pta meeting
and dont bring some weak ass jiggy shit to the underground...
just becuase theres 3 people in your crowd who want to hear it.
DVDjHardy 3:45 PM - 5 November, 2009
I think you have to talk to the manager and figure out if they want you to play for the crowd in front of you, or play to keep the crowd that like what you/they wanna play. Knowing that when taking a gig is pretty important. Otherwise, its like any other job where you go in on a daily basis not knowing your objective.

There are certainly many idiot managers out there who are just racist assholes and have a poor misconception of "hip hop" in general, but there are also managers who have to give you guidelines about your song selection to keep their paycheck going.
PopRoXxX 4:33 PM - 5 November, 2009
I just have someone (a buddy of mine or security, etc.) stand next to me where the opening for the DJ booth is (them in between me and the door). Then I let them know right away: If anyone asks for something just say, "Alright, I'll let him know" and then just act like your talking to me about whatever, but don't tell me what they want because I'm most likely gonna play it later if I haven't already. Lol

So they just turn to me and say, it's another request. Then they turn back and tell the person, "He said cool"

Haha. Best idea ever. Or just say "Let me see what I can do" if your by yourself.

Whats so bad is that when I first started working there I played these songs and others like it (please no debate on my hip-hop cred. lol I play what the crowd likes. Even the garbage songs. Sometimes I just listen to my underground faves or classics on the other deck). Everything was fine. But 2, count 'em, 2 people complained to the manager. One said that there was too much rap and the other wanted to know why I didn't play any country. This is what set the wheels in motion. And I only play there on Sat night. But this is also the club that went from "No shirts longer than the tips of your fingers with your arms by your side" to "All shirts must be tucked in." Apparently people that wear nice shirts and tuck them in NEVER have an altercation.... But I digress....

(I use an NS7) I explain that advances in djing technology have made records almost irrelevant for the club dj. I tell her in my best salesman pitch about ITCH & Scratch and how if she preferred she could still use full size vinyl on turntables. She says "No... I wanna be in the middle of jammin and turn around and get the next record together and throw it on the table and just rock!" I sighed, fought back the urge to hug her and politely told her it wouldn't be in her best interest to to start with vinyl because of the costs of securing the older vinyl as well as a lot of newer tracks are music files only. She huffed and said "Well you're not who I need to talk to then" and walked off. (Too $hort famous ad-lib right about here...)

shelleymack 3:09 PM - 8 November, 2009
So many familiar stories on here, very funny.
Ive also had people asking for something more funky while Im playing JB- 3 times!
'Got anything more underground?' when Im playing a dub plate( back in my vinyl days)
The usual 'anything we can dance to?', house music, big beat or even Deacon Blue.
"Got anything else?' 'Like what?', "I dunno, like this but better!'
At a friends wedding recently, a woman kept booing every time I dropped a new track, then would cheer once she realised what it was!
Even before I had Serato, being accused of miming scratching, and with Serato that the decks 'are just for show, right?', as well as losing two bar gigs as the managers said 'well anyone can play off a computer'

The best advice I've seen on here is the 'put requests on £10 notes', definitely going to try that one! If its some shit pop track, I could download it for 79p from Itunes there and then and just drop one verse of it! With a dance floor its different but in a bar, I don't mind playing a couple of odd tracks like the time a couple dressed in 50s gear wanted some Rock n Roll, and started jiving to the little medley I played from a CD that was free with a paper. The manager looked a bit worried as if I was going to play that all night, but it kept those punters happy for a bit!

A friend has a 'no requests' sign!

The worst thing in the UK is that people drink ALOT and come up to you not being able to speak properly, then act like you've got an attitude!

People also claim I've got an attitude cos I can look a bit serious, due to concentration! What can you do eh??!!

You should of told those managers "Here ya go, I want to hear you do a mix if it is so easy."

Had a bouncer on Friday (who I let get on before the club opened) ask "Hey where is the button that blends the songs for you?"
Me "Hell you talking bout son?"
Bouncer "Dude every time I see you guys djing, the songs are lined up and blending, where is the button?"
Me "Yeah, that button is a secret, I can not show you that, now get off the decks"

The best was a guy came up and asked for Sex On Fire, I had got him to wait while I finished mixing it in and when I finally looked up (as the chorus was coming in) he's still asking me for the song (also while standing about 3 inches from the speaker, with everybody behind him screaming along to it)

Mine this weekend was the damn Cupid Shuffle. The bar was not as packed as usual, but started to fill in around 11. Normally I save this track for later in the night, even though I hate it. I took a request and played it... and then this drunk ho comes up at like 12:30 and starts asking for it again.

me: "I already played it".

she: "I know, I had just got here"

me: "Maybe you should come earlier"

she: "Will you play it again PLEEEASE I will get everyone to dance (every 15 minutes for an hour)"

me (after the last time): "They already did dance to it. I don't repeat songs, and that is a love/hate track. There are enough people in here that hate it that I'm not gonna do it again. I was thinking about trying to squeeze it in at the end for you, but I don't take orders from belligerent people. You bugging me every 3 songs has guaranteed that I'm not gonna play it again. Next time ask me once and I'll do what I can."

she: "YOU'RE AN ASSHOLE!" (proceeds to go talk shit to her group of friends)

X-Rated is a gangsta rapper from several years ago. Nothing special, but good beats though. He went to prison for murder(bragged about it in his lyrics)and later made an album from inside.

From the other day...

Guy wanders up to me (this is a low key outdoor event) and has a look at my laptop (Dell 1525) ohh, why are you using that? Please don't tell me it has windows on it.

I straight away thought he was going to be a mac guy just hating on the fact it's a PC.

So he's going on and on, he was telling me how I should run linux and then asked what the program was (SSL) and where I got it from. I told him I bought it from DJW. Guys given me this look "since when do we actually buy things anymore?"

I pointed out the SL box and told him the program can't even run without that, so off he goes on some thing about somebody would have hacked it and how much better I'd be if I was running some open source shit.
Then he starts going on about do I have a backup, I told him I keep a 2nd laptop.
"Is it hooked up right now?"
"No"
"So you have no redundancy?"
"It'd take me less than a minute to have it on and running"

One of his friends came over to see what he was doing, guys gone on this little rant about how I have no backups (which clearly I do) and I'm running windows.
His friend looks over at my screen "and it's not even ableton!"

First guy then asked me what amps I was running (it wasn't my gear) I knew they were crowns but besides that nothing else about them.
"You're not a DJ if you don't know how many RMS your running"

Does that mean I can't drive a car unless I know exactly how much Hp it makes?

There's actually still more,

The 1st guy (guying on about linux and all that) Directly after talking about how I should know about the RMS of the amps and all
"I've never actually DJed, I'm not good enough for that, I've set up gear sometimes though"

The ableton comment guy:
"I still DJ a bit, what stuff are you using?"
The spot I was at the gear had been provided for me and turned out to be an american audio dual CD player and mixer package they'd hired from a local shop.

Anyway the guy continued on after looking "ohh, I use that same mixer. American audio is great- that's a real good mixer!"

Enough said.

I got a request on Saturday for "I'm the Scatman" by Scatman John. I couldn't understand the guy because he was a bit timid and quiet and I had to have him write it down--it turns out the song is like a stutterer's anthem. I felt a little bad when I looked it up the other day.

I do get them sometimes, and mostly I explain that I don't play pre-recorded mixes and for that same reason won't play girl talk. One of the bartenders at my Friday night gig loves girl talk so I try and play one of his "tracks" for her when its dead very early in the night. I don't pretend that I'm mixing it though...I've caught someone doing it.

Girl Talk is a mashup artist who uses Ableton or something similar to run all kinds of tracks and samples together. Like Ludachrist. www.worshipludachrist.com

To the guy getting Girl Talk requests... just loop an 80s beat and throw an acapella over it, then switch to a different rock loop at the 2nd verse. They will think you are plugging some unreleased GT heater lol.
Joshua Carl 5:27 PM - 24 November, 2009
Id be quick to call girltalk a LIVE PA, and not a dj...

not to say he cant/couldnt dj.

but everything Ive seen has been uber-clever workings of samples, loops and acapellas.
obviously quantized and locked in ableton.

so, its more of a production performance.

prob a similar face to the one i got when i read it! wow...

here's a question... do we consider Akon hip-hop?
Joshua Carl 4:52 PM - 25 November, 2009
he's another incarnation of Rhianna or T Pain....
you could argue he's a R&B artist (who spends most of his career singing with
hiphop artists with the occasional solo joint, sans his first album)

I think of groups like 112, rough endz, even R kelly...
while they arent rappers, their tracks lean more towards the hiphop side of things.
Free Man 4:59 PM - 25 November, 2009
when i was wondering, i was like "well... its hard to say he isnt, but its hard to say he 100% is"
WarpNote 5:15 PM - 25 November, 2009
Akon, definetively not Hip-Hop, nor Rap.
He is Contemporary R&B, Urban and Pop, that's it, IMO... ;-)
And I don't think an R&B artist is Hip-Hop just cause you bring in a rapper once a while...
Same goes for R. Kelly.

On the flipside, using that kind of arguments, you could say he is a house artist for featuring David Guetta, and well, he's not...

Fans decide what type of an artist you are (box they put u in) - if you are lucky enough to be making money and have a following. Today there is so much cross over and blending in it's hard to say that there is even a clear line between the genre's anymore.

Nowadays that indeed happens alot. I truly believe that people thinks that everything is pretty much hiphop nowadays.. except hiphop itself. If you know what I mean.

And damn, I've considered myself as 100% real hiphop deejay and I thought i've made that pretty clear everytime and then some girl kicks you into nuts saying that you play techno. Roundhouse kick next time no doubt.

One of my mates who is a drum and bass/dubstep dj just emailed me this:

played out for the first time this weekend at 420 on saturday at a friend of a friends birthday party. had to put up with the occasional request from the punters, but throughout the night a total fruit loop kept on jumping up and requesting some dmx. i told him i didnt carry any hip hop or rap with me, he begins to have a rant about how much of a shit dj i must be since i dont carry any hip hop with me rah rah rah... but this time upon him jumping down from the stage that the booth is on, he fell face first to the floor, ko'ing himself, losing some teeth and leaving a nice wee puddle of blood.

the funny thing was that no one bothered to see if he was alright and left him lying face down on the ground for a good 30 seconds or so.

I show her what I have in my collection and the song she picks out is "Man In The Mirror". I tell her thats not really a dance cut and everyone is dancing right now. She responds by saying everyone in the club will like that song. I tell her its a mood killer and put the headphones back on while she continues to ramble on. She turns to the girl behind her and tells her don't bother asking for anything because this dj sucks. The girl says "Really? I think he's a good dj. But I'm biased since he's my husband." Face f-in drop. (And it really was my wife)

I understood that. But sometimes people like to go to the booth with their "friends" and try to undermine the DJ by requesting obscure songs that their cousin made in his basement with Fruity loops and he only has it on his phone. :P

^^^^^ insert, i never said i'd play it... i just said i have it...

some of my replies are "yeah i like that song too"

or sometimes I i just reply with what they said but with the words messed up... just mess with them by frustrating them...
Ingo B 6:59 PM - 7 December, 2009
Joshua Carl, you have mucho patience. If a chick, by the 2nd repeat, I'd pretend to forget who she was. By the 3rd rpt, I'd tell her I left it at home. If she persists, I'd tell her she can come back with me and we can "look for the song" together.

Or if it's a whiny douchey dude, I'd nail him with an overhand right. (Kidding. I do not condone violence.)

Yeah I usually tell 'em it's on my other hard drive that I left at home.

Taylor Swift request from Friday was a serial repeater and quite whiney. I really wanted to tell the guy to man the fuck up--probably should've nailed him with an overhand right.

went to a birthday party with the wife this weekend and i had to resist going to the DJ and telling them to play this or play that - cuz i didn't want to end up on here as a candidate for an overhand right. but i mean damn, i know the song sexy bitch is hot but do u have to constantly play it - my god. and people are going crazy with effects controller. i wanted to scream.

Okay so this isn't while I'm DJing... but I get this all the time. If I show up to an event or party where they hired another dj. I always get a bunch of people asking me to change the music as if I can just walk up there and kick the dj out.. Usually I just tell them that it's not my night, go talk to the other guy. If it's the person that hired the dj, I tell that they could have hired me to begin with... but the next time they do want to hire me.... I raise the price on them.

Usually I resist saying anything to the dj, but there was one time that I had to let him know what's up. This guy was going crazy with the effects on every song. Not that it sounded good or anything, but just 30 seconds straight of stutter effects. It's to the point where you can't recognize the song anymore. Then he would put on some good tracks... then quick mix to a lame song... and let that one play all the way through. He couldn't read the crowd, his programming was not good at all, and the effects were the last straw.

So i approached him asked if he could please cut back on the effects because a lot of people were complaining. After he got an attitude and tried to ignore me... I told him about the last time I saw him at an event... (Octoberfest) people kept complaining about the music there too... and how we had to get drunk just so that we could stay on the dance floor. He didn't like that... but we didn't hear any more effects for the rest of the night.

Played an awesome wedding gig this weekend. One of the ladies from the wedding party asked me if I could play "My Dick" I knew the song and told her I wasn't sure if I'm allowed to play that song. She then pointed at the bride who was giving me two thumbs up and a wink to play the song. Good thing it was around the tempo I was mixing in and played it afterwards. The dancefloor exploded and it totally made their night. That was the most obscene song I had ever played in a wedding and I'm kinda glad they were down for that. I was getting shots and high fives all night.

One of my mates has just popped over with a classic bar manager request, at a 500 person capacity venue half way thru his set the manager has popped over asking him to play some "christmassy" songs, so he has asked for clarification and suggested mariahs xmas classic, to which the manager responds no not cheesey music but xmassy. Again unsure he asked for an example & was told........

You know something upbeat & xmassy like BEP - I gotta Feelin!!!!!! hahahaha awesome & obviously the most xmassy song we all have in our crates!!!!

we had a 60+ year old lady in the house.

who, I will admit had me suprised at first... she was dancing for a good 2 hours...

then it happen... I was nice.

she asked If I had the new Lionel Richie... me being the smart ass I am said of course.
I was in the 126 range, and they were diggin on the usual upbeat cheezewhiz
so I dropped all around the World, not new.... but "newer" Lionel Richie (bob Sinclair mix)

right after the song... so whens the lionel richie?
about 30 seconds ago...
I actually went into my history and showed her.

"you did say NEW lionel richie right?"
well, do you have dancing on the ceiling or all night long...
oh, by new you mean 1985?

face-palm
sure enough from 12-2 I saw her every other song...

but I did have a great line when she told me to go online and download the song she wanted...
"my son goes online all the time to download free music..."
well, now that he's retired Im sure has plenty of time for that sort of thing.

the most subtle shots at age I find the funniest...it took her about 45 seconds to
say heeey.. my sons only 30!

Not ridiculous, but surprising. I was asked to fill in a night by a fellow DJ at a club I've only ever been to a few times. The owner introduced himself at seemed cool. Around 10:30, he absolutely surprised me when he cam up and asked "If it's not a problem, would you mind playing Chris Brown's Forever sometime tonight?". Wow, an owner not only asking politely; but asking for it sometime tonight, not next. I told him I appreciated that.

I get that at some of my gigs, but I also get that before my gigs. I attend a small university, so when I have a gig I get people hitting me up about their friends coming through to spin sets. Not only do I not know their friends, but I don't even know the guy asking me if his boy can spin.

The only person that I let spin with me is one of my boys. I always invite them to come by and introduce themselves, but they never do it.

I'd be like "Really? Where do you play?", cause I bet I wouldn't recognize the name of the club in his bedroom at his parent's house. I wouldn't let anyone play during my gigs, even DJs I know, if I'm the one hired by the club to play. If he really was a DJ, he would understand etiquette well enough to know that no self respecting DJ is going to let a stranger play; and if he was any good, he would be playing somewhere that night anyway. He probably just wanted to tell someone he DJed at [that club].

From last week..

I was doing a little half an hour thing for a company xmas party, just for the end of it. They had their own gear (rack mount CD players/mixer) so I didn't bother taking my own gear.

Guy only about 22 walks up and asks "got any meatloaf?" well...no, i don't.
Guy continues talking general shit about how I should have some then looks over and notices the mixer (american audio) "you know that mixer is a piece of shit right?"
I just said "yeh I do but I'm not carting turntables and my own mixer down here for half an hour, I'd spend as long setting up as I would playing"
"Yeh well, I have a pioneer"

Congratu-fucking-lations you must be so proud you bought something.

Girls in her mid thirties comes up to me.... "Hey can you turn it down? Me and my boss is here and well...I'm working on getting this promotion that just came up at work! Also can you play some oldies and nineties dance music? that would make him SO HAPPY!?!?"

i just looked at her in utter disbelief and said something to the effect that the world actually doesn't revolve around your boss, so sorry no!

Yesterday...

Doing a Radio stations christmas party on a cruise boat, I constantly get requests for Lonely Island- I'm on a boat. The thing is people always think they are super original to even think of it where in reality I get it nearly every time I work on the boats.

Yesterday I got a request for it "It's our theme song for the day" Didn't really mind so I put it on next song.
While I was mixing it in drunk bitch comes up "Can you play that song, I'm on a boat ______________ (sang heaps of it) all the while I'm trying to cut her off just saying "You mean this song that is playing right now?" She wouldn't shut up trying to explain herself and then when everybody else started singing it she suddenly realised.

I played one more song after that and she came back "can you play I'm on a boat" and proceeded going through the whole thing of singing it again...I swear she must have had no memory that it was just on, she didn't say a single thing that made it obvious she was asking for it again and was acting like I didn't know the song and she had to get me to think of it.

Laz219 11:49 PM - 18 December, 2009
That always stands out so much with karaoke, I never do it myself but have helped other people do it occasionally, people come up so excited because they found a song. "This is my favourite song!"

When they get up and you hit play, they look around confused and don't have the slightest clue, just stand there with their mouth kind of hanging open, looking at the screen and pretty much just quietly reading the words to themself.
Then as soon as the chorus comes in they suddenly get right into it, sing that part and then go back to the zombie mode.

I hate karaoke.

Venue I was playing yesterday has a small stage and the booth on it. Once they get drunk, they come on the stage and start dancing in front of the floor. Once they get a little tired, they might sit down on the stage have a drink and get ready for the next song.

Well, last night i notice this quite hot lesbian pair sitting on the corner of the stage, and then they start making out. Kind of threw me of, and lost concentration for little moment ;-) LOL

Also, during the second last song, some other girl comes up and says: "I think I wanna marry you!" (she'd been to the booth requesting songs 3 times already...)

Here's a great "There was this one time" story

I had a chick come up to me and do the same thing...

as she was starting to request the song i Shhh'd her and said nono no no no no... nope...

she gave me a WTF face and i said I dont take requests..
she said why
Because i'm Physic...

really?

yep, dont go anywhere

why

cause your song is next and i want to see your face when you realize i read your mind...

I played the song and have never seen someone be so shocked... (i guessed right)

she wanted me to try again... I got the 2nd one right too... lol

So saturday (well actually sunday morning) I was doing a set after a really good band from albuquerque played. We had around 45 minutes of good electro/house/top 40 and a little reggaeton for our international workers (seasonal workers at Angel Fire ski resort) when this 40 year-old drunk sob wanted some "good ole country." I told him I was told to play clubish music and he said "bullshit! I'll kick your ass if you don't put on some good texas country!" Well i tell him to take it up with the person paying me or the owner. Well he comes back with a 20 and I say hell no, the dance floor is packed and the guys who wanted country went down the street to the bar. He comes back with a drink and says I bought this for you, now play some stoney larue! I say I can't drink, I'm underage and I'm working, so no drinks by my equipment. He comes back with the guy paying me and he now has the drink. So I played some Chicken Fried and half the people left and two couples danced including the guy by himself. FUCK COUNTRY (and I'm surrounded by it in Amarillo, TX)

when people ask... what do you play.
I generally say "everything but country"

So saturday (well actually sunday morning) I was doing a set after a really good band from albuquerque played. We had around 45 minutes of good electro/house/top 40 and a little reggaeton for our international workers (seasonal workers at Angel Fire ski resort) when this 40 year-old drunk sob wanted some "good ole country." I told him I was told to play clubish music and he said "bullshit! I'll kick your ass if you don't put on some good texas country!" Well i tell him to take it up with the person paying me or the owner. Well he comes back with a 20 and I say hell no, the dance floor is packed and the guys who wanted country went down the street to the bar. He comes back with a drink and says I bought this for you, now play some stoney larue! I say I can't drink, I'm underage and I'm working, so no drinks by my equipment. He comes back with the guy paying me and he now has the drink. So I played some Chicken Fried and half the people left and two couples danced including the guy by himself. FUCK COUNTRY (and I'm surrounded by it in Amarillo, TX)

End rant.


I have run into this a few times at this rural spot I do Saturdays at. A couple of times I have mashed up "Friends in Low Places" over the "Get Low" instrumental... it's been awhile though, I can't remember if I had to 45 one of the tracks to make it work. lol. Nowadays, if it's like 9:15 and no one is there yet, I MIGHT do one country song that I can actually stand, just to appease the regulars. But if I have people there and dancing, I tell those people to GTFO and go talk to the owner.

You can never make EVERYONE happy 100% in those mixed crowd venues!
djbigboy 6:00 PM - 22 December, 2009
Congrats to you for even having the country song in question.....what sucks about dealing with most people now days is that they can't accept the answer NO...even when we are trying to be nice...that one guy ruined what fun was left at that party because he was selfish...people need to get over themselves...
adhdj 6:09 PM - 22 December, 2009
word. the old alcoholics that hang out in the early evening at this particular joint spend a lot of money on drinks and food, so I try and at least throw them a bone if it's not gonna throw off my game, EARLY only lol.

the same assholes WILL come up at midnight when I have a packed floor and get belligerent from time to time, that's what the owner and the bouncers are for lol.

I had about 3 "can I look at what songs you've got" people again the other night. Dear god how ignorant are these people?! Then I had a dude practically begging me to play Miley Cyrus. I don't know how many different way to say "I don't have it!"
Pete Moss 2:16 AM - 24 December, 2009
I had just played "Single Ladies" the other night when a girl comes up to me asking "What is the name of that song and Who sings it?", which already had me thinking this girl must have jettisoned her time machine from the past for not knowing it. Then, after I tell her, she goes "Thanks, that is my boyfriends favorite song; and I want to get him the CD for Christmas, but neither one of us knew who sang it." Wow, and her boyfriend was kind of a redneck to; I hope she realizes she has a brokeback boyfriend.

Haha, nice Pete!

This reminds me of the other night, and I don't know how I forgot to mention it on here. I'm sitting at the bar, it's like 10:15 and I have a mix going because, well, it's 10:15. This girl figured out I'm the DJ somehow, and comes up and proceeds to ask me if I've heard of a song called Billie Jean. I said "are you fu**ing serious?" Not in my head, but straight to her. She was at least 25. I'm almost sure this is grounds to bitch slap the patron.

I hate it when females request songs. It's always some shit that doesn't go with what I'm playing, they often don't know the name of the song/artist, and they'll keep asking til I play it. It's like they think I'm a living breathing iPod who should oblige their asinine requests...AND chicks never tip. that's my worst gripe...

...of course, I could be saying this cuz I'm a female dj... ; ) lol

Ugh I got a request for "Billie Jean or any other MJ song" last Saturday while I already had Hot Street cued up and she came back to say "I thought you were going to play something by Michael Jackson" as soon as I put it on.

Not the same league, obviously, but goddamnit nonetheless.

Ok, here's a first for me. Had a mobile this past saturday, wireless mics .vs speaker positions were giving feedback so I had walk the room on occasion to do Mic work.

I come back behind the DJ set up and see a Big Booty bent over some of the cases (ok milk crates) that I store some of my gear, wires, and lighting cords in.

I ask my DJ partner what is she doing, just as she turns around....

She says: "I asked him if it was ok to plug in my laptop to charge my phone, he said it was ok. This is the only outlet where it looks like it will be safe". (looks like she had a small netbook - WTF why would U bring a netbook to a Party????)

At the very same time, my DJ partner drops a song that clears the floor,

I look at her, I look at the floor, I look at him, and simply turned and went and bought a drink.

Anyways so he procedes to beg for a Drake song...(strike 1) then he goes I'll sing it (strike 2)...lastly while drake is singing his verse he sings the hook of the song IN TEMPO!!! STRIKE MF'n 3!!!! I stopped the record everybody "booooo's"
and I simply said on the mic..."why are you asking for Drake-forever??? I'm playing it!" the entire room started laughing...cue point to eminems verse and we countinued partying!

Similar here...I had played nothing but top 40 & a few house songs through the night, but apparently about 5-10 people (probably all together) kept coming up and asking me to play "Trance....not Techno". LOL. I wouldn't play trance just like I wouldn't play country music. The other 800 people there didn't come to hear your shitty trance music...they want shitty radio music!

I also had one retarded bitch whose interaction with me started by saying "HEY....WHAT THE FUCK....PLAY LADY GAGA." It didn't get much better from that point on. When she came to request a song again, she said "HEY ASSHOLE, PLAY SOME SLIPKNOT." I don't think I"ve ever called a woman a bitch to her face before that. Also have never had to tell a woman "Get the fuck out of my face before you lose all your teeth." I should have went with my gut feeling and get her kicked out b/c I saw two fights near where she was later in the night, and those were the only 2 fights last night.

Right after my new year's countdown, I launch into my "last farewell to Michael Jackson" set.... which I ANNOUNCED... 5 minutes later, this chick comes up and says, "are you, like, going to play something other than, like, Michael Jackson?"

I said, "uh, yeah, after my Michael Jackson SET..." Then I rolled my eyes and went back to what I was doing. Everyone was dancing and feeling the vibe so she was the only one with an issue.

As I said previously, I hate requests... I practice to perfect my craft. I research so I can have the newest cuts and find the older gems... I don't need drunk bitches asking me for some bullshit or telling me how to do my job...

I don't often have problems with customers, but at the club that I call home, I play a lil bit of everything, mostly top 40 with some rock some house, whatever...so, I hadn't played any classic rock, so I dropped 3 songs in a row, pretty tightly mixed, it maybe lasted 5 mins max...this guy comes in wearing a hat (wait, how did that happen) and it REALLY out of place with his attitude..."Hey n#g#a, change the fu--in music". I hella don't play that, so i said "What I can't hear you?". "So he gets pissed. So I said "I really can't hear you, and I am sure you can't hear me so let me do something you will understand". So I flipped him off, and told him I'd change it when I am ready. He got kinda pissed and started to come around and I looked and GULP no security guard, but he walked up and looked straight up(i am 6 ft 6 250lbs) and walked away...people just make me laugh

I told this guy to fuck off all through the conversation and it never seemed to register to him.

helped a friend at a mitzvah last night. he uses virtual dj (he also does karaoke and isn't much of a mixer anyways, so that's his choice). at the end of the night, a couple of kids ask us what software we're using. my friend shows them his virtual dj which was about $300 and i tell them about ssl and it's about $500. they know they can find vdj on torrents for free so they're like "eh" and ask why i use ssl. basically they wanted something free that they can "mix" or segue with....and with fx. i told them ssl has no fx. as for when they asked me why i use ssl, i replied "stability". they were a bit disenheartened when i told them the only way to use a full version was with the hardware. hee hee =) then they asked if i knew any good dj software that was free. told them nope. if they already know they can get vdj for free on torrents/whatever and they want something better or easier, oh well....

Anybody ever have the people that come up, insist on connecting their ipod to play some particular songs and when you ask what they want to play- it's always the most standard radio trashh that we all have to keep up with. Yet they act like it's some super rare tracks they've got and something that you definitely wouldn't have heard before.

Happened to me a bunch of times (usually I don't even ask what they want to play) but on the occasion I do 90% of the time it just seems to be whatever the biggest song is at the time.

how the fuck you supposed to mix w/ a ipod anyway?

You can put the Ipod in storage drive mode drag music from ipod into a crate in SSL... no live feed necessary.
I used to carry my ipod around when I did guest spots. Instead of hauling around my laptop or an external HD.

i'll have to try that... great idea, it will be the same as a usb powered external right?
WarpNote 4:24 PM - 6 January, 2010
Not so advisable for disk based ipods, the disk is not made to handle the (dual) flow of data. Flash based pod should be good though...

You don't need to .. use live feed, just feed in a few seconds... that's one of the ideas of live feed.

Last night was international night at Angel Fire Ski Resort. All the workers from Costa Rica, Peru, Brazil, Venezuela & Chile come to party on friday night basically. We don't have too many Brazilians, but this girl came up and said to" stop the reggaeton, we want some brazilian music!" So I drop Sambe de Janeiro and she yells, "What the fuck is this?" Turn my table off and yell into the mic "WHO WANTS MORE REGGAETON?"

You can guess who I told to GTFO and what I played the rest of the night. Never really played reggaeton until last night thanks to someones flashdrive,) but we all had a fun time and all the spanish speakers REALLY HATE brazilians or something. :)

NYE House Party for my friend Max. I did this as a freebie cause we were going to have the party at our house, Max, wanted to combine parties and host. Less for me to clean up in the morning, game on!

Exeryone is dancing! We have a streaker! Its a party!
Girl: are you gay?
Me: Well that is my WIFE on the dance floor... so?
Girl: This song is gay, you must be gay.
Me: (I do not remember what song it was at the time, but again, everyone in the room was dancing and throwing a party) I am not getting paid tonight so your opinion does not count!
Girl: Whatever change songs its gay.
Me: You're rude and your pissing me off. And I am doing this for my friend, I am not "working" tonight, so I don't have to put up with you.
Girl: (begins to talk)
Me: (I cut her off) quit being rude and quit saying everything is gay cause you offending me.
This goes on for a few more seconds and I make her feel like crap. She proceeds to tell me how she has a gay friend and her gay friend hates when she says things are gay. I continue you to tell her how rude she is. By the end of the night she was falling down in the kitchen.

I have had so many of these over the years. So many I have read on this thread I have literally laughed out loud at cause I have been there.

someone straight up asked me to copy my file history onto their USB stick that they brought to the club with them...
my response: "you can do that?"
his response: "yeah what kind of DJ are you that you didn't know you can do that?"
my response: "yeah I'm a big failure. I guess I must suck....which must really suck b/c you're asking me for my history."

other people have tried to stand behind me in the booth lookin over my shoulder when I play something that they don't know....
I've also seen other people pulling out their iphones and blackberries...probably trying to Shazzam the tracks...

I don't care if someone knows what I'm playing..but to ask me for the history? are you gonna try to bite whatever mix or blend I thought of on the fly?

Back to our regularly scheduled thread...

This drunk girl requested some madonna, and since it was early I put some on. After that she thought I was her personal jukebox, giving me the frowny face every time I played a track she didn't like...

Finally after the 50th time of her coming up to me to tell me to change the song, I said "I have a job to do. I need you to let me do my job. Your job is to drink and have a good time. Go do your job and I'll do mine."

She walked away and left me alone.

General Public... aren't they the 80s band that sings Tenderness??
WarpNote 6:15 AM - 19 January, 2010
Yep, Shakee, from Allmusic:
"Considered by many as nothing more than an offshoot of the better-known '80s British outfit the English Beat, General Public still enjoyed several substantial hits on their own during their short career."

Personally, Im not a fan of the General Public ;-)
I find The Beat a lot more interesting www.thebeatuk.com

Girl tonight...

"Can I mix for a while later?"
"Probably not- do you even know what you're doing?"
"yeh, i sing for DJs all the time"

Bitch the proceeded to pick up my headphones when i wasn't looking and break them. It was a private party so I just added the cost onto my bill at the end anyway.

Another girl came up with the line I've been expecting to hear....
"Oh you have the scratchy things! can i have a go?" (she was looking at my turntables)
Chatted for a little bit and she dropped it.

"I HAVE DJ HERO AT HOME SO I'M PRETTY GOOD AT DJING."

I told her right then I'd been waiting for someone to actually say that to me and she was the first to finally do it.

Slightly off topic but am I music snob expecting everyone to know the song ''many rivers to cross''? I was closing a set down with some old reggae and the crowd are loving it so I cut and go into Jimmy Cliff's version and a a group of about 5 girls start giving me the nuts and bolts stare and shouting at me what am I doing as they'd never heard this!! I'm looking round and a good 70% are singing along. Now I could be wrong but I've always considered this to be a song that everyone should know.

HAHAHA nobody tells DJ request what to play



On Friday I was spinning this Frat party when I noticed this girl that was at another party I did last semester. She asked if I could play "Ain't No Fun" by Snoop Dogg, but I forgot about it at that party. So when I see her at this party I loaded it into the prepare section because I knew she was going to ask for it.

This time she sends her friend over to ask for it. I told her that I would have coming up shortly... i think it was about 5 songs later that I played it. Then her other friend comes up to me about 30 min later asking me to play it.

Maybe I should dedicate it to her if she's at the next gig ;-)

Liav, don't worry I'm not insulted. I like all genres of music. I started out spinning house music and I still spin and love house music. Just never been a fan of Tiesto and I don't see why some people make such a big deal about him. And on the contrary to what you say, there is alot of house music that has feeling. I just think Tiesto's tracks sound like they're stuck on a loop the whole time, there's no movement and they all sound the same to me. Just my opinion

Dynamite, I get what you're saying....you're saying compared to other house (not stuff you necessarily spin) has feeling....I'm with you on that. I'm not a fan of Trance at all, but I do love house. My opinion on Tiesto's fans is that most of them don't know shit about trance. Example: I was trying to explain to this one guy that swears about Tiesto that not all the tracks he spins is his. He didn't believe me. It's like dj_soo said, he's the britney of trance.

btw, I just realized I probably know you. You're from upper level? I'm good friends with Mike and I know a couple of the guys on there. I think I met you with Renee (DJ Licious) one time.

On another note.. We probably have met. I meet so many people everyday and I don't remember anyone unless I meet them 2 or 3 times. I met a chick in Seaside this summer and I was talking to her and she says "You met me before, don't u remember?" Needless to say that piece got away...LOL

Idlemind1999 6:12 PM - 24 January, 2010
I opened for a band last nite. They were a soul /funk/jazz band (like 20 members mostly brass) so I played alot of Earth, Wind & Fire and alot of other groups with horns and such.
A lady (older) started to approach and from a distance, I could tell she was coming to ask me something. So I put on the headphones and turned on the tunnel vision. She stood there looking at me, while I was pretending not to see her, then she pulls out a a wad of bills and starts counting them. From the corner of my eye, I can see they were all dollar bills. I keep ignoring her. Finally she puts the money away, and taps my shoulder.

She tells me it her husbands birthday and asks if I can lead the crowd in singing happy birthday. The band was starting to take the stage and warm up... so I pointed and said, the show is about to start, sorry...

That was a good twist but!

About Tiesto, I've been to a couple of his (huge) shows to see him. With the full production (sound/light) and a full arena going nuts his music definitely comes across well. That being said, I would never want to sit around listening to it.

It's nice when you get surprises like that isn't it? I had one a couple of weeks ago - this little old guy dodders over to me, pint of beer in his hand, flat cap on the lot. I thought to myself...oh dear he is going to want for barbara streisand or something totally out of place for the club and he leans forwards and very slowly and sweetly says " excuse me......could you possibly play a something by Jay Z.....but his older stuff if you have it". I couldn't have been more shocked!

No real strange comments this weekend but one request for Apache by Sugar Hill Gang. Had to google it when I got in as I'd never heard of the song. I played the Shadow's version and the guy seemed happy enough.

The only other moment was some girl who is in most weeks (and stays all night) started demanding hype mid set tunes as soon as we'd opened up. Didn't want to be rude but she snuck in during the 30 min free period and hadn't brought one drink so was in no position to be making demands.

Agreed. I went to the Dallas show in October and I had a great time. Loud as fuck and I liked the song selection (poppy sellout stuff/other good artists remixes/new good electro/trancy stuff/his old anthems/other artists cool stuff (ferry, deadmau5/cosmic gate)

Last night...place is looking pretty light...my sundays aren't that busy as it is...but with the rain, it was looking like it was gonna be an extra slow night.

I see 4 white chicks, all wearing red dresses. I'm on the stage getting set up, about 10:20 (I start at 10:30 on Sundays) so the ambient music was playing. It happened to be the original version of Day n Nite. So while I'm setting up, I tell the sound guy...watch, these bitches are gonna be trouble...I guarantee it. They'll come up here asking for tik tok and black eyed peas and lady gaga before I even start playing.

Sure enough, one of the girls comes up and says, "Hey um...why are you playing this song so slow?" I say, first of all, if you'll notice, I'm rummaging through my backpack right now, there are no records on these turntables, I'm not playing anything. Second, this is the original version of this song...this is how he originally recorded it." She goess, "Oh...well um...until you get started, to hold us over, I have my ipod in the purse..." I said, "Oh sure, how would you like me to handle that...should I put the needle on the jog wheel or on the screen? I would hate to scratch your ipod." Her "Can't you just play it from your computer or something?" Me, "Um...assuming that you have an ipod cable in your purse, which I bet you don't, have you ever played your ipod through your computer?" Her "well I dunno." Me, "Well, you can give me your ipod but I can't promise it won't get erased." Her "I'll just come back when you start."

So I start DJing...Sundays I usually play an hour of 90s hiphop and R&B to start off the night since it's mellow. Sound guy is back on stage, so I tell him watch this. I make a crate with I Got A Feeling, Tik Tok, Bad Romance, and Sexy Bitch in it. I say...these bitches won't be able to resist coming up here requesting shit...I'm sure they hate this stuff. I was playing common's The Light, followed by Eric Sermon, Music.

Sure enough the girl comes up and goes, "Can I request some songs?" I say, "Sure, but you probably won't hear them til at least 11:30 or so." Her, "But you don't even know what I'm going to request." Me "I bet I do. Go ahead. I've got a playlist open that I bet has songs that you are gonna request in it" Her "Well, we wanna hear some lady gaga, black eyed peas, that Sexy Bitch song, and Baby Got Back." I show her my computer screen, which has 3 of the 4 songs in the playlist and say "Like I said, not til at least 11:30." Her, "Well, what are you gonna play now?" Me, "um...90s hiphop and R&B" Her, "oh...90s?!" I could see the wheels turning...I was about to get some nsync and brittany requests, so I said, "90s HIPHOP...not 90s Pop." Her, "Oh, what's that?" Me, "You're listening to it." She walked off the stage...my sound guy was cracking up.

Best part...they left right at 11:30, before I got into any current pop.

I tell him I can put it on the turntable but I don't think it'll work. So he says you call yourself and dj and you can't play cd's. I proceed to take his CD and toss it across the club.

Girl is bothering me all night to play a song, I have it, but it doesn't fit with my set(R and B, and I'm playing house), so she finally gives up on that and requests something else, it's a house song this time, so I play it a song or two after that.

While the song she requested is playing

Girl: Why haven't you played my song yet?
Me: This is the song you just requested
Girl: No, this definitely isn't that song
(1 minute later)
Girl: Ok, maybe you are right, this is the song

Yeah, I had some girl yell at me one time, something about not having played her track yet.

I told her "You know, if you want me to do something for you, you should probably be nice to me." She did a total 180 after that.

This isn't ridiculous but its the most awkward + hilariously funny thing to ever happen to me while DJ'n...

My wife is awesome... hands down i couldnt ask for someone cooler or more awesome.

Last week we were having a going away party for a family friend who is moving. I brought my gear and was DJ'n my wife gets a chair and puts it to the right of me, reached over unzips my pants and sticks her hand in...

it was distracting, but i didnt mind...

I was playing a song that her mom liked so she ran over grabbed my hand, and pulled me away from my stuff to dance with me... (I think i had thrown on a cumbia for her)

So yeah, I danced with my mother-in-law with my pants unzipped.

Last night...place is looking pretty light...my sundays aren't that busy as it is...but with the rain, it was looking like it was gonna be an extra slow night.

I see 4 white chicks, all wearing red dresses. I'm on the stage getting set up, about 10:20 (I start at 10:30 on Sundays) so the ambient music was playing. It happened to be the original version of Day n Nite. So while I'm setting up, I tell the sound guy...watch, these bitches are gonna be trouble...I guarantee it. They'll come up here asking for tik tok and black eyed peas and lady gaga before I even start playing.

Sure enough, one of the girls comes up and says, "Hey um...why are you playing this song so slow?" I say, first of all, if you'll notice, I'm rummaging through my backpack right now, there are no records on these turntables, I'm not playing anything. Second, this is the original version of this song...this is how he originally recorded it." She goess, "Oh...well um...until you get started, to hold us over, I have my ipod in the purse..." I said, "Oh sure, how would you like me to handle that...should I put the needle on the jog wheel or on the screen? I would hate to scratch your ipod." Her "Can't you just play it from your computer or something?" Me, "Um...assuming that you have an ipod cable in your purse, which I bet you don't, have you ever played your ipod through your computer?" Her "well I dunno." Me, "Well, you can give me your ipod but I can't promise it won't get erased." Her "I'll just come back when you start."

So I start DJing...Sundays I usually play an hour of 90s hiphop and R&B to start off the night since it's mellow. Sound guy is back on stage, so I tell him watch this. I make a crate with I Got A Feeling, Tik Tok, Bad Romance, and Sexy Bitch in it. I say...these bitches won't be able to resist coming up here requesting shit...I'm sure they hate this stuff. I was playing common's The Light, followed by Eric Sermon, Music.

Sure enough the girl comes up and goes, "Can I request some songs?" I say, "Sure, but you probably won't hear them til at least 11:30 or so." Her, "But you don't even know what I'm going to request." Me "I bet I do. Go ahead. I've got a playlist open that I bet has songs that you are gonna request in it" Her "Well, we wanna hear some lady gaga, black eyed peas, that Sexy Bitch song, and Baby Got Back." I show her my computer screen, which has 3 of the 4 songs in the playlist and say "Like I said, not til at least 11:30." Her, "Well, what are you gonna play now?" Me, "um...90s hiphop and R&B" Her, "oh...90s?!" I could see the wheels turning...I was about to get some nsync and brittany requests, so I said, "90s HIPHOP...not 90s Pop." Her, "Oh, what's that?" Me, "You're listening to it." She walked off the stage...my sound guy was cracking up.

Best part...they left right at 11:30, before I got into any current pop.



chicks are irritating... if they were so stressed about the music they should have stayed at home, given each other pedicures and played their iPods on full blast... heifers...

If somebody asks for Fitty's 'In The Club' or well, the birtday song again, you can throw on the one from DJ Wax On's 50 Cent Remixes. They are well done and you can cop it @320Kbps from his own site.

www.djwaxon.com

There's no Youtube of it though, but there is one of Windowshopper.

especially since the original is actually 140 bpm (or 70 depending on how you look at it) and the crookers remix is like 128
Laz219 3:50 AM - 27 January, 2010
Just funny because nobody seems to realise the crookers mix isn't actually the original. Most people seem to think Cudi only does electro/house tracks.

I actually bought the Man on the Moon album a couple of weeks ago, hasn't come out of the CD player since. Great album.

okay so this happend on Christmas Eve ..
i was standing in the booth with my friends (i was there just to party with some friends)
and at 1 i noticed two girls dancing and drinking like crazy at 1.30 those two girls were standing directly on the right side of our booth in my hands a brand new cocktail .. the blond chick approached to the booth took the cocktail right out my hand and nearly killed it in one .. so she gave me the half empty glas back and said: "Thanks baby" can you play something i can bounce my tits to?

me: hm i'm not djing today
she: hm thats bad

then she pulled her shirt up -> wearing no bra -> one nipple pierced and pulled my face right between her tits .....

i was shocked .... and moved to the other side of the booth
okay so that night was really crazy these chicks started a around 3 to do good show getting naked kissing eachother rubbing wax on their tits ...

thats the reason why it went hugh the next day ; church was calling women-organisations calling ; the manager had a sleepless week ..

to proof it we made it on the first place of sex-scandals in 2009 in BILD (the biggest newspaper here in germany) www.bild.de

that's the most ridiculous thing i've ever seen ...

dude comes up drunk as hell requesting i song i played 20 minutes before he walked in (sexy bitch). i'm trying to be cool about it and explain that i just played it. he busts out with "yeah i see your using a computer. all the djs in dalls use vinyl. but that's cool". like i'm supposed to be offended by that. and like the djs in dallas get all their tracks late b/c they're still strictly on vinyl lol.

he then preceded to fall over a table about an hour later and got kicked out of the club. fat bitch.

A few forums use a timed edit button. You have like a few minutes to edit your post and it leaves a little signature saying: Edited 1 time by Dj Paully D at 3:21:12

A TIMED edit feature wouldn't be horrible, just saying.

ok i didnt read all 4000 posts but i dont think anyone has gotten this one. ready for a laugh? so its early one night at my residency and theres really noone there yet and i have a premix dance mix playing for like the first half hour. this smuck comes up to me and asks me is this the tempo you play at all night or do you switch it up. heres the best part, he then says i figure you know its like the dr pepper commercial with dr dre when he puts the soda on the record and slows it down thats when everyone starts dancing. i was speechless for the first time in my life

i HATE when punters even get into that. you wanna ask for a song, go for it, but more often than not girls come up to me and say "can you play something more upbeat so we can dance" and when i ask them to expand on that they suggest RnB records 2/3rds the speed of the dance music i'm playing - or worse still literally half the speed of the indie tunes i have on.

i think that's what they MEAN but even so, Replay by Iyaz has less energy by any measure than I Wanna Be Sedated by The Ramones - they just like it less, but they therefore assume there has to be something "wrong" with the ramones to make them not wanna dance to it, and not being "upbeat" enough is what they hit on... it seems to me.

I hate it when you have the music sped up you're between 125-130 and someone says "Hey!!! Can you play ____ i love that song... and its like 95 bpm... not sayin that they never request good songs... its just so much slower that its like going 90 mph and throwing your car into 2nd gear

So here she is again...you've had her at your spot...she must be on vacation in Florida...

Early on shes there with some older guy, its a reggae night with some top 40...
she comes up early while I have a mix running and Im still getting comfortable and fully hooked up...
1st request...Can you turn it down it really loud??? (I stayed calm while thinking oh shit not you...anybody but you)...told her it was a night club but while it was early Id see what I could do...she then begins to ask whos in charge...I point to the black promoter in the corner her exact next statement was... "Him he CANT possibly be the one who owns this place!"...after walking to him and every other person in the place and obviously complaining the promoter comes up and goes you can tune it back and play some latin for her... I obliged and she comes running to the booth after 20 mins or so as we started to pick up and people were ready for some reggae she then starts complaining about thats not what she wanted (even though they danced none stop) and is too loud again and they dont like this...
I apologized and told her this is what the night is design for Id play another set for them in a few if she could narrow down what she wanted but she then said...

LATIN BALLROOM and something they could WALTZ too!!!!

I told her I probably could go that far at almost 11 but if she could name a song or two she really wanted and the owner (who I thought was her friend) said it was cool that Id hook her up..she instead kept going on and on about she would need to see my library to tell me and what other nights I was there...I told her tomorow night is a straight latin night you should try that ... as if this 10 min convo wasnt enough she then goes on to how if she spoke to the owner that he wouldnt be happy that I wasnt catering to the clientele!!!

I responded as softly and calmly as I could..."Mam but your not really tonights target audience but tomorrow would be perfect for her..."
She then said something about she was her first and was there now!!!...LOL...
I told her that unfortunately that I had to cater to keeping the night up...she jumped in with...
"ARE YOU DENSE...YOU CANT BE THAT..."
I grabbed the mic and asked her loudly and clearly..."did you just call me dense???"
she kept trying to explain...I stopped the music and asked again......

needles to say when security, the owner and promoter came over...it was time for her and her guest to leave...rather forcibly!!!!

I heard somehow in the ensuing argument outside they towed her car! lol





I know I should have cut her sooner... but I really thought Id seen her and the owner kicking it in the past...

there was some crazy woman getting away with all sorts of crap (dancing on top of speakers etc) in one place i work cos someone got the idea she was the owner's wife. the owner is very respectable and i'm sure his wife is too but we'd never met her and didn't wanna take a chance!

eventually we figured out it couldn't be Mrs Owner and she got whisked out faster than ted kennedy could flee the scene of a fatal car crash.

back on topic - i'm doing an indie/rock night just now and someone has just asked for YMCA

i don't usually subscribe to all this "throat punch" banter, but sometimes...

in fact maybe i WILL play it cos when they have their arms in the air for the "Y" of YMCA i could get in a cheap shot right below the chin :)

this reminds me of 2 chicks come up to me one night. one says to me that her friend really likes the music.. I smile and say thanks..

the says "She's deaf"

I wasnt sure how to react so i paused. she says "she feels the vibration and uses that to dance."

I was caught off guard a little but now think that its one of the coolest compliments i've ever got..

I DJ SO GOOD that even Deaf chicks can dance to my music (on beat to)

One of the places I work for a lot of the time just gives me a date and time to show up and that's it. No other real information about the event.

One night I turned up expecting a company christmas party, instead it was an entire group of deaf people from a charity organisation. Pretty interesting experience to say the least.

I do a lot of high school parties so I get all types of requests and am happy to oblige but my pet peeve is when anyone, young or old hangs onto my front board while asking for said request. Most anyone can see that a front board is jut some plywood and cannot support any weight: why are you hanging on my front board?!!? I once got on the mic and stated that anyone who hangs on my front board will not get whatever song they request even if it is the hottest shit out right now. Needless to say no one did for the rest of the night and the principal didn't even bust my balls since he used to be my guidance counselor., lol!

Joshua Carl 9:19 PM - 9 February, 2010
I felt like I was transported back to 1999
being almost all Italian, and more importantly wearing my pride on my sleeve I support Unico stand on the show.

Id wager to say that this was the "hay-day" of what people now associate with the
Jersey Shore.
I was neck deep in the dance scene in that era, and on the whole that exactly what
(for what ever reason) is STILL what The Jersey Shore is about.

anywho, aside from the rampid circles popping up, fist pumping, beating the beat

the que de gra wasnt until I shut the music off.
and I had the self-appointed "rep" from the group approach the booth.
It went something like this:

Him: duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude...Macaluso!!!
Me: Mike....Macaluso?
Him YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH (With fist pumps)
Me..Im not him, what about him?
Him. Dude, final chapter nooooooooow, woooooooooooooooo!
Me. Is it Y2k?
Him. why two what?
me. the year 2000
Him. no, but will you play it now?
me. Bro, its 205,,,I already went 5 minutes over, cant do it.
him. Ya know...I do this too
.ROLLEYES.
him...(im paraphrasing 5 minutes of rambling, but this is what I picked up)
*Im so fucking ill, bitches love that shit,I have just about everysong.
you should let me play here, I know richie santana, we should trade beats,
play one more song, Im nasty kid,

you get the point.

I would dare to say Boston has its share of Italian Americans
especially just north of the city...Im from the South and look more like
a Mic-bastard.

But before making these requests, clumsily perform the "record scratch" hand motion while making "wiki wiki" sounds as you approach the rig. This will surely win favor.

Oh, and don't forget to add "funky", "cool", or "awesome, bro", because all DJ's are more fluent in retarded jive than regular English.

i had a dude do something similar, asked for the music to be turned down and to kill the flashy lights cause he grandmother was in there (it was like a lil before 10 still early and it had a restraunt under it) i told him to fuck off......felt kinda bad 15 minutes later when she started seisuring......wonder how that turned out anyways hmmm

Caramac 4:04 PM - 18 February, 2010
ha ha lol.

I almost got into it with one guy at my residency when I first started there. They used to have these PA speakers on a tripod stand. This one guy was sat at a table infront of the speaker and he decides to turn the volume down on the speaker by him. I'm mixing so I'm like hang on somethings gone wrong. I walk over and see the volume is down. I turn it back up walk back and carry on mixing. 5 mins later the music cuts on the same side of the room. So I walk over check the connections and see the volume is turned down. So I ask the guy did he touch the speaker and he says yes

yeah I'm having a conversation and its too loud.
What the fuck has that got to do with me and the club?
can you keep it down
no
well I'll turn it down again
no you wont

I try and keep calm and avoid confrontation but some people just want it. I picked up his drink placed it on the next table. Did the same for his mates and told them to move and to leave the fucking speaker alone. Stood there for a minute waiting for it to kick off. Nothing happened they moved I went back to my decks.

Everyonce in a while you get some tool that really winds you up.
DjCity 4:16 PM - 18 February, 2010
You were nice about it...I would have dropped the tri-pod stand down to ear level and BLASTED it right into his ear. I would have made sure that the horn was pointed directly into his ear channel.

"Then" I would have told the fuckers to move before the speaker "accidentally" falls over and hits em in the head and security has to help them leave the club.

Lol not one but two you know. Quality.

Funniest thing I've seen is this guy who was a friend of a friend came to a show with us in Exeter. Which is like a 5 - 6 hour drive from London. Guy was a complete and utter fucking bell end. Anyway he's wasted on Ketamine and walking around the club gurning, drooling and making a fool of himself. Security kept telling us to control him and I'd had enough of him already. He'd annoyed me all the way down in the car so I warned him that I'd leave him in Exeter if he didn't behave. He tells me to fuck off then goes and sits down. I'm like cool he must be sobering up.

10 mins go past and me and my mate are in a four deck mix playing breaks and scratching and this guy gets up climbs down from the stage area stands there for about 20 seconds then runs across and kicks this girl who's breakdancing straight in the arse. No word of a lie. Me and my mate stop mixing just stand there and stare at this guy and then out of nowhere security rugby tackle the guy and drag him outside.

True to my word I left him in Exeter that night. Apparently he jumped the train back to London in the morning.

My friend is a 6' 3" UFC fighter... It's halarious to go out with him because he knows no shame...

one night he decided he was going to lick every girl that he thought was hott... what made it funnier was he didnt care if they were with a dude or not (which made things sooo funny.. there wasnt a dude who said anything... they just stand there looking shocked)

best time of the night was he licked this chicks neck and her girl / friend started going nuts... he looks at the chick he licked and tells her to tell her bitch to shut up.. then he looked at the chick that was going nuts and said she was mad cause no one was going to lick her...

I've seen him take all kinds of stuff that i thought was going to drop him and he doesn't even get phased... he doesn't flinch at pain either which is kind of odd to see... i saw a chick get pissed cause he banged her one week and she saw him with another chick at the club a week later... straight up slapped at him, turned around took 2 steps, then turned to go back and deck him across the face... didn't phase him... it wasn't till later that he said damn that hurt!

Bitch anoying the shit outta me...
Now ten years later a friend of mine play's this same club and asked me to jump in for an hour or so. So I'm playing some dope electro, club is pumping; this chick come's up to the booth screeming: "Can you play me some R&B???"

I take a good like and what you think??? SAME BITCH AS 10 YEARS AGO!!!!
I was like: "You still here?? Get a life !!!!!!"

If I ever saw anyone behaving that stupid in the club, I'd just go get security, I don't care if the guy would be a celebrity or whatever.

Slow dancing is not allowed at most middle schools. These kids would be 11-14 years old...they shouldn't be grinding on each other according to American culture.

I've done a similar gig (same demographic) for the past 5 years, and these kids have the worst and most vulgar song requests. The only way to get through a gig is to be stern (but not be an asshole) and let them know that just because their parents let them listen to a song about giving blowjobs, not everyone's parents would be happy if you play it in the school cafeteria.

lol, i did a gig once for a friends sisters BDay party, thought it was a sweet 16 (they went allll out) but ends up it was like a13 or 14 yr olds party, another DJ had cancelled last minuted and the called me to fillin, i told them specifically i didnt typically cater to their demographic or really have a stock of clean music. The girls mom told me these kids talk worse then anything i could play so it wasnt a big deal. (i had played a party for her before for her other son so she knew the deal already just wanted to make sure we were on the same page). So I show up and start playing some radio friendly teen stuff and all im getting is requests for dirty southern krunk, finally to get the kids off my ass i stat going into ying yang then further off the radio charts into what i know are local favorites, so far theres been a good big of swearing and progfanity but no complaints, as a mater of fact the mother comes up and compliments me because of all the other DJs that had ben hired i was the 1st one to make the kids dance and really get into it so while later i throw on this Krunk lil boosie track, which so happened (and i had never really noticed before and wasnt paying attn to the lyrics as much as trying to find the next song that would keep the energy goin) to have one of the most profanity ridden verses in rap histoy lol....the damn kids start singing along (which proves those lil heathens were fucked up loooong before they hired me) and someones parent who had just showed up runs up flipping her lid screaming TURN THE SONG!!!!...i turned it real quick and appologised for not payin attn (hehe), and went on playing a bit more radio friendly...which in turn kept a bunch of kids at the booth begging for me to play all the crap they wanted to hear annoying me. I felt like the worlds biggest asshole for letting it get that far BUT the lady paying me came up and was like that ladys just a bitch, lol......even funnier as the night went on and she had a drink or 2 (the parents were having a lil BBQ) she came up and asked me to play some trick daddy for her LOL i looked at her like are you serious your all worried about your kids a few hours ago and now your requesting nnahh n*#*#....I still feel kinda bad about the situation but the parent paying me didnt care so i guess i shouldnt

DJ Dynamite - NJ 4:04 PM - 25 February, 2010
So last night me and 2 of my fellow DJs are having an all out jam session at this spot where my boy does strictly old school classics. We had a 2 x 4 turntable setup and me and one of the other DJs was goin back and forth with old school tracks.

Some chic that's been there the whole night and knows we're only playing old school comes up to me and requests Lady Gag - Telephone. I tell her that we're playing nothin but old school all night and that I didn't bring that type of music with me. She then decides to sit there for about 5 minutes staring over my shoulder trying to look at my screen to see what was in my crates. I'm thinkin to myself "Is Wayne Brady gonna have to choke a bitch?"

Last Week...

A guy came up to request "this brand new song, I don't think you'd have it yet. It's called Kiss Me Thru The Phone"

I was actual talking to another DJ just before he came up and he had talked to the guy first (I had my headphones on) he's looked at me and said "kiss me thru the phones what? A year old?" When I agreed the guy started arguing that it just came out.
WarpNote 9:07 AM - 28 February, 2010
Im my 15 years of spinning this is a first for me:

Friday I was doing a my "Tripple Trouble" club (3 DJs alternating on the decks)
At this place, we're playing of a small stage, no physical barrier between us and the crowd.
So, I'm in the bar, picking up a few drinks, floor is pumping, then, SILENCE! I Turn around and notice I cannot see the DJ desk on stage any more! Quickly make my way across the floor and find out that someone knocked it over! I couldn't even understand how that's possible!

So now theres 2 techs (one of them, my own), 2 pio cdjs, denon hc1000, shure cartridge box, load of cd's, sl-1 and my uberstand scattered on the stage floor. The djm 800 was still hanging on by its cables to the knocked down desk and the playing dj saved my mpb, thank god. I'm all about finding who knocked it over, happily for that person the security got there first... and they assured me the venue would cover any repairs. My tech got a ripped ground cable, the other tech got a messed up tone arm.
(So was forced to play instant doubles from that point on, forgot my control cd's at home...)

Took us a good 15 minutes to set up again, happily no one left the club, they were sort of wating in suspense. Then when scratched/cut in the first tune eveyone was going nuts, claping and cheering, so a good end to it after all.

But man, how do you actually manage to knock down such a big desk? Its beyond my comprehension....

I mentioned it to the DJ stepping on after me, then when the guy stepped up he promptly got told if he asked again he was getting punched in the face. Not exactly subtle, but effective!

Me: You only get one unless you can prove your nipples aren't pierced.

Me: (Just noticed she's a B-cup) Ok tell me what they are.
D.B: Play Boots With The Fur (lol) or Brown Eyed Girl or Hang On Sloopy.
Me: (thinking she's older than she looks but trying to be nice) You're telling your age. Thats some old music there.
D.B. - How old do you think I am?
Me - (Thinking that she's almost 40 but looks about 35) 32...?
D.B. - Try 27 (stomps off mad)
(15 min later, D.B. returns with some big goofy dude)
Goofy Dude: Hey will you play Hang On Sloopy for her?
Me: Probably not. Its too late plus thats not really fitting for the club or what I'm doing.
Goofy: Will you play it for a disabled veteran? (Pulls out his disabled vet card.)

Moral of the story... We played 15 seconds of the song, killed it, and then clowned her on the mic for requesting it.

This is one that has been getting on my nerves so much lately (mostly because of a new guy at one of the places im very regularly at)

"Can you burn me a CD with some of your songs"
"Nope"
"come on, it wouldn't take you long"

I seem to be getting this almost everytime I DJ anywhere now, 90% of the time it's the staff of the place when I finish the night and am packing up.
Just one thing that seriously frustrates me, if your happy to have ripped off music why can't they just get it themselves anyway.

I do not keep blank CD's whatsoever anyway, had a guy ask me to burn him a CD and when I said "I don't even have any CDs anyway"
"just buy some and give it to me next week"

On the same thread... Backpacker party a couple of weeks back. A guy comes up:
"where do you get your music from"
"record pools for DJs"
He didn't know what that was, gave him a 20 second explanation.
"So your trying to tell me you pay for it? fuck that!!"
Then walked off.

you gotta remember that DJs are pretty much the only ones paying for music now adays, and most people hand out music freely, you can go to almost any nondjs house hear a song and go burn me that or hey can i use your computer to burn a cd and in 10 minutes you have a shit ton of new stuff.....thats why people ask so freely and get pissy when you dont give it to them,.......me and my girl have gotten into some HUUUUGEEEE fights cause she wants songs i bought off crooklyn or crack4 (sites that have tracks you cant easily just torrent) and she gets furious when i wont giev them to her, i keep explaining that its cause shell just hand them out to everyone she knows and that would kill the demand for my mixes.......i burned her a disk 1 time and heard a CC track in her sisters car and that was IT

oh and here's some advice to all you 57 owners.
Map the joy sticks to go into internal mode for that deck in all your groups.

that way you can hit internal mode with the quickness when the pushy bitches get too damn close to the tables.

I've had countless instances where I had a girl's titty knocking the needle off the record or their tit would stop the record. One time this douche put his drink on my record trying to make a request and I had to call security. But I had internal mode on right b4 they got to the booth.

Example: push the joystick left : rel mode. Push joy stick right: int mode
left stick controls left deck
right stick controls right deck.

Okay so I apparently a few details were left out.... 1.) I had been catering to her and her group for the past 3 HOURS since they were making the bulk of the requests. This was HER 6th request of the night. No tip. 2.) It was 1:30 a.m. The club was in full party mode and the crowd was an under 30 type that wanted to hear more hip-hop than songs from the mid 1960's. I tried explaining that as well as the fact that it could cause me to lose momentum with the crowd on the dancefloor. She made a remark about these people as though they were beneath her and didn't deserve to hear what they liked. 3.) The vet guy grabbed me by the arm right before my emcee stepped to him and talked him away from the booth. 4.) The whole rest of the club froze when I played the song. So I felt like she was an ass to me first. I'm one of the nicest guys when it comes to handling requests (which a lot of djs don't take) but don't act like I'm your ipod and get an attitude when I don't play every request. I know everyone that thought I was a dickhead for the way it was handled can at least respect that much.

Last Week...

A guy came up to request "this brand new song, I don't think you'd have it yet. It's called Kiss Me Thru The Phone"

I was actual talking to another DJ just before he came up and he had talked to the guy first (I had my headphones on) he's looked at me and said "kiss me thru the phones what? A year old?" When I agreed the guy started arguing that it just came out.


I had a guy come up to me and say, "Kiss me thru the phone..."

I took off the headphones and said..."What??" (giving him another chance)

He said again..."Kiss me thru the phone..."

I just kept asking him over and over, he kept repeating over and over the same way... Until he finally got it, "OHHHHH!!!! hahahah Oh shit... sorry dude.... oh shit... hahahhaahh so can you play it??


ME: LAST CALL!!!!!!!!!
Joshua Carl 3:50 PM - 4 March, 2010

Had a girl last night come up, I was just cueing up the next track so the MC started talking to her, she wanted something that made no sense to play so as I've looked around he's kind of shook his head at me (basically telling me not to bother talking to her)

As I took my headphones off she started leaning over the turntables to try and talk to me, where I anted to mix in was coming up so I've put my headphones back on. She stayed leaning over the left deck trying to talk through my headphones while I was obviously trying to use that deck.
MC ended up telling her to back off and she walked away.

I don't get why people think they can talk through headphones.

Same night, playing some RnB, A guy comes up and starts jumping around "play some house music!! Crank that shit, some dirty fucking house! We want some hard beats bro!"
All this while jumping around in circles. Don't know what the guy was on but it was one of the wierdest requests I've seen yet.

best thing for that is get a monitor set up pointing right where punters stand to ask for stuff. if they don't work out what the "just a minute please" hand gesture means, blast their face off with a quick turn of the booth monitor knob.

Dj'd that 18th birthday party last night and there is hope for the next generation yet. They were all polite asked once for a request and came and thank me when I played their song. I thought DJ Caramac was going to have to slap a teenager but no they were very well behaved.

Although it did start off like a school disco with boys on one side and girls on the other lol.

they always do that to me. sometimes i wear it with one cup on, one cup off (when not using split cue) but no matter what, they always try to speak into the ear covered with the headphone. even if i see them coming, i try to turn my open ear to them and put my hand to my open ear, but they follow the ear with the headphone on.

Had a funny one tonight.

After the club closes, this kid bus boy comes up to me...little white kid, couldn't have been more than 16.

Him: So, what do you use, Serato up there?

Me: Yeah man...serato.

Him: You don't have CD players?

Me: No man, I use 1200s...

Him: When are you gonna upgrade man? they got CDJ 2000s now?

Me: I'll upgrade when CD players are an upgrade...for now, nothing beats the feel of vinyl for me.

Him: Well, whatever man...you need to work on your beatmatching.

Bartender overhearing the conversation: Dude...kid, stop talking out your ass...seriously, just shut it.

Me: No, he's right...I'm gonna go home and practice now. Fuck man, my beatmatching...I know I really gotta work on it...Hey kid, where did you say you DJ'd again?

Him: Nowhere, I just...

Me: Oh...well fuck man...you know you really hurt my feelings. Honestly, now I'm gonna go home and cry cause some kid told me I needed to work on my beatmatching, and even the fucking bartender told him to shut the fuck up.

Him: well I just...

Me: How about this kid...next week, bring your little CD players...and you can open for me...and I'll stand right there watching you...I'll bring a few pieces of vinyl...and you bring some CDs...no computer, and at the beginning of the night, we'll mix some tracks. That'll be fun, won't it?

Him: dude fuck you

Me and the bartender laughing our asses off.







Now, had the kid said I needed to work on my scratching, I would have said, you're right kid, let's see what you got, show me something dope...but my beatmatching? come on...I've posted enough live sets on here and been called a clean mixer enough to know my beatmatching is on point...and it was on point all night tonight. Funny shit.

Joshua Carl 10:28 PM - 9 March, 2010
corporate gigs.

I had one this weekend at a store.

as usual I always communicate with mgmt/staff on preffered volume.
never had a problem.
except for the people who walk in, stand with their face 2 feet from the horn
of the speaker and go... "this is WAAAAAAAY TO LOUD"
usually, I always "mock" the turn down and they smile and walk away...
sometimes even going... "thats much better"

this sat the manager was cool as shit.
I kept turning it down and down for this same reason.
I told her, as long as you back up up, Ill go as loud as you want.
so we found a good level... people in the back of the store could hear it,
people at the register could talk.
perfect.

enter crazy old bitch # 1
I first thought she was complaining to the floor stafff about the music.
nope.
she was telling them, they should spray perfume in their doorway to attract women.
leaves, comes back.
walks right up to the speaker. (which is about 2 feet above her head)
this is just aweful... its way to loud.
Ma'am... you have your face in the speaker... of course its loud.
turn this rubbish down now.
smile... no problem.... do the "fake move" as she stands at the speaker.
turn it down MORE!
I cant, sorry.
Im telling the manager...
thats fine, she right there...
manager: Im sorry... this is the level the corporate office likes the music at.
well its way too loud for me.
[manager} well... you ARE standing right in front of the speaker.
I dont care..its too loud (obviously at this point on a mission)

her and the mgr get into a pissiong contest... i couldnt hear really.
but u could tell the mgr was about 3 seconds from punching her in the dusty
old baby maker.

she storms out...stops turns to me. Im going to mall security...
Ma'am... can I ask you something?
no
come on.... seriously.
what
do you have a oven at home?
yes.
when you bake something...and you open the over isnt it hot right infront of the
oven? do you run around your house and open the windows becuase its hot
the 3 feet right in front of the oven?
of course not.
well, the same theory works with these speakers...
no it doesent.
sure it does... goto the back of the store and tell me if its as loud.
no.
storms out...

last we heard.
we had plenty of laughs at her expense though.

on saturday i was doing an indie/rock venue.

i had someone come up and say "can you poot bedder moosik?" i kinda stared blankly cos that's pretty rude even for someone who doesn't speak english as a first language. while i was staring she followed up with "poot on roni size"

i was pretty speechless so i just said "no" and turned away but her friend came up moments later and said "poot on de next song, quick, something else, different moosik".

guess they figured the first six hours of guitar music i played was just warm-up music, and we'd get to all the drum and bass soon :D

Kid Capri called old broad out.
But, it's not like she was asking for lady gag gag.

The DJ culture came from Reggae music.
So without Reggae, you would not have a microphone to talk shit to old girl, Kid.
And you probably would not have a career or hip hop for that matter. Just sayin.

Not at all, if this was a normal night yes but anytime you go to a GENRE SPECIFIC night and ask the DJ to play another Genre you deserve to get called out cause it shows your not there for the right reasons, you arent paying attn the the DJ and for some reason you think you matter more than everyone else
Dj-M.Bezzle 9:36 PM - 11 March, 2010
This happens all the time here me and some of the other local talent will rent out a place to do a EDM party, its not a normal club so noones going there off habit and all the fliers say BREAKBEATS EDM DUBSTEP ECT ECT oon them, theres lasers and goggo dancers and all kinda other shit that gives off the "rave vibe" and we have straight EDM playing the whole night.......but without fail some asshole will come up (usually a female) and go "this music sucks play some" (insert Rap Artist here)....like bitch the flier said edm youve been down there listenin to house and electro for the last 5 hours did you just think we forgot to play some snoop dog GTFO

Plus, we don't know the backstory. Maybe she was bugging him the whole night. Maybe there were a ton of ppl bugging him the whole night. Probably just reached a boiling pt at the time of filming. C'mon...we've all been there. Granted, it seemed kind of overkill, but how many times have we harbored those kinds of thoughts come the 4th request for The Birthday Song by 59 Cent?
Dj-M.Bezzle 9:40 PM - 11 March, 2010
They speciffically said it...."its a hiphop night, your in a hiphop crowd, i like regge too but its a hiphop night"............besides sure it pissed her and her man off but it got the hiphop crowd HYPE

You can tell hes a pro too cause as hes puttin her on blast you can see him goin through his tracks findin that BANGER that will make the crowd erupt
DJ_Phenom 9:41 PM - 11 March, 2010
I think if you bring a well known DJ to play a show of specific genre and make any requests regarding the music, you are def. putting yourself in position to get shitted on like that.
Dj-M.Bezzle 9:48 PM - 11 March, 2010
if you ask a request for a genre specific well known DJ your basically undermining his work........would you go to a Snoop Dog show and get by the stage and ask him if he knew any breaking benjamins

Had one last night, doing a backpackers thing and getting endless requests (DJ booth is very close to the bar so everyone wants to talk while they wait for drinks)
had a few people come up and request a song and I just plain couldn't understand them, yet all them eventually came running past me as a mixed a new song in, just yell "fuck yeh, thanks heaps man!" as they went past.

It was actually interesting when I tried to figure out what they'd actually said to me that I didn't get even though they were pretty huge songs.
HYDRO MATIC 12:23 AM - 12 March, 2010
yo straight up...yall are looking at this from to much of a DJ point of view...what if she came to the spot randomly never heard what night it was...or what the theme was...I agree that there could have been more to it...but I did post that earlier...if she was bugging him during the night I agree and she did get what she deserved...but...if that is her first request and he put my chick on blast...I would have gave her the keys and gave "whoever" the bussiness!

Regardless of his accolades or if it was a theme night...if she made one request and that was his reaction he was out of line...


And dont get me wrong I talk shit on the mic all night...but its gotta be deserved though...especially to a woman...
d:raf 1:58 AM - 12 March, 2010
At least she and her man got free drinks out of it. Make a request, get a free drink... not a bad tradeoff if you ask me.
DJ Michael Basic 2:13 AM - 12 March, 2010
I'd like to point out that before he went on a "This is a hip hop night" tirade, he was playing michael jackson...decidedly not hiphop.

Socross 6:58 AM - 12 March, 2010
I think it's pretty clear he overreacted a bit, which is why he offered the drinks. He (like most of us) has a chip on his shoulder about requests so she got a little more than she deserved. She still deserved some of it though.

C'mon son...

It was Kid Capri, that is like if you are at Tiesto concert making your way to the front of the Stadium and asking if he has any Breakbeat. I'm sure Capri does some local stuff on the "hometown love" tip in smaller venues but making a request to a "celeb DJ" is always risky and stupid.

from his "dont coach me" line id also be willing to bet that her request wasnt something along the lines of "hey could you please play a regae track for me " it was prob more like.."PLAY SOME REGAE!!!!!!!!!"

Caramac 3:23 PM - 12 March, 2010
I agree with Hydro. Without being there or having more footage prior to this it definitely looks like he over reacted. Not everyone in a club is a die hard fan of your music genre. Some people are out on a random night willing to try new things and may stumble across your club by accident. Chances are she's never heard of Kid Capri because if she had she would no better than to ask him for reggae but by his reaction alone he's probably lost himself a potential fan.

yeah, I have figured out that when people request a song they usually leave afterward so I string that out as long as I can.

I also have employed a new sign next to the decks that I point to as I see people approach. It so far has been highly effective and has increased my tip intake 500% (no joke)

I've used that sign for about 3 weeks and last night was the first night it worked against me. It was a slow night so I only had a couple people even try to make a request. I was a hard ass and stuck to my sign, but I probably should have just smiled and said sure.

Made me think about being cut off from these ridiculous comments completely might actually make me miss them.

Nah.......
Socross 8:32 PM - 13 March, 2010
The only problem I see with the sign is that if people pay for requests, they think we are obligated to play them. Not a deal breaker, but people think we're jukeboxes anyway, and this adds to that perception.

But on the other hand, getting $5 every time someone requests tik tok but only playing it once sounds awesome!

Dysquo 9:26 PM - 13 March, 2010
I always felt like this.... They tip the waitress, doormen, bartender, and even the bathroom guy..... So they come up to us and want something for free.....?
Especially when, they need to hear the song to get ass, It's their friends birthday, their favorite song, It will make everyone go crazy... etc

People want to treat you like a Jukebox... But you still gotta put money in that also...

If they don't write the check, we need to make them pay...

www.Dysquo.com
DJ Dub Cowboy 12:28 AM - 14 March, 2010
that is exactly how I feel. Try walking up to the jukebox and yelling at it while its transitioning and see if it plays your song....

Even a jukebox gets a dollar.

I'm going to keep rocking this sign until I get my regulars in the pattern of dropping bills every time they walk into the booth. So far out of the people that come up to me every week and ask me for the same thing every time about half of them stopped even trying and the other half are dropping $5s even though they know I'm going to play it for them anyway. Those are the people I respect the most. Its like they have no problem tipping me, but all I had to do was ask or at least make it clear where gratuity is appreciated the most.
Laz219 7:24 AM - 14 March, 2010
Last night...

Did a party that I was basically just given a list of songs to be played, so I put those on early in the night (made a crate and put it on autoplay) with the intention of actually starting once it finished.
After they did all the formal stuff for the night I was handed a CD "let this play through"
Threw it on...went for an hour (all hardstyle stuff)

So while it was playing I was just sitting at the bar talking to someone I knew when I noticed someone walk behind the booth.
I quickly got up and walked over and asked him "what are you doing?"

He comes up with "oh, i was gonna mix for you"
I pointed out that it was just a single CD playing and mixing wasn't even an option anyway.
He then asked me what all "the good stuff" I was playing before was, I told him it was off my laptop and that it was irrelevant anyway.
By then he'd stepped out of the booth and I figured he'd got the hint....turned around and walked back to the bar.

When I got there (less than 10 seconds walk) I look back and he's behind there again.
I walked back over and noticed he'd switched my laptop on. Just asked him what the fuck he was doing touching my shit and told him to get out of the booth.
I guess he didn't realise how pissed off I was because he asked me for a smoke on the way out.

Looked at my laptop and it was running in DVD player mode (basically means it opens without loading the operating system, its just a portable DVD player effectively) and I had no idea how the hell to get it out of that mode.
Iphone+google saved me last night.

I just don't understand who the fuck he thought he was to be touching everything, not to mention he clearly had no idea what he was doing considering he'd moved every slider and switch that would have no effect on the master output.
Oh, and he asked me if I had headphones so he could mix.... what the fuck?
ninos 7:33 AM - 14 March, 2010
i hate wen people go around touching my shit. actally realllly pisses me of
Laz219 7:37 AM - 14 March, 2010
I usually don't leave the booth for most of the night but last night it was basically a job they definitely didn't need a DJ. If they want to pay me though I won't say no.

Just the stupidity of saying "oh i was going to mix for you" when clearly had no idea what he was doing.
Consider this...the controls I noticed were moved..

Disc Tray on CD player was out,
Crossfader was to the very right (had been in center)
Faders on unused channels had been pushed up
Headphone Cue/Master slider was pushed over
Mic EQs had been changed

Guy was obviously just grabbing random controls thinking he could do something (not to mention the 2nd deck wasn't even loaded and my laptop was completely off)
He probably has DJ hero.
djtoast 12:05 PM - 14 March, 2010
i won't leave the booth unless there's a steward standing next to it, too risky in all sorts of ways.

re tips - i've never asked for tips and i won't even accept them if offered.

as far as i'm concerned the owners of the places i work are paying me to do the best job i can, and if someone asks for a song that i don't wanna play / isn't right for the club, no amount of money is gonna make me play it. if they ask for a song that IS right, i'm gonna play it anyway, so i don't think it's appropriate to take money beyond what the owner is paying me (cos to me, taking the money implies you wouldn't have done the best job possible if the customers didn't tip you!).

you could make a comparison with anyone who gets tips i suppose (yeah, a waitress is getting paid to bring your food out...) , but then i get paid more than a waitress.

DJ Koeul Benny 6:49 PM - 14 March, 2010
If someone went behind my setup I would be very agrivated and pout most likely

but if they wanted to mix I would let them make an Ass out of themselves
and watch them squirm while I egg em on to keep playing

Usally followed with egging on the crowd to SH*t on this dude for being an idiot
and trying to take the spot light .

Most guys usually back off if you say sure let me see you mix or make an exuse that they aren't familiar with the mixer and thats why they did so bad if they actually had the balls to take the stage ...

You were WAY too nice for him to do it a second time less than 10 seconds later - AND TO TOUCH MY LAPTOP???? FUCK THAT!!!!!

I would have made him realize the seriousness of what he was doing (in a very calm way).

Me: Do you have a wife/girlfriend? How about I come over your house and touch your wife/girl?
asshole: Huh?
Me: Don't touch my shit....
asshole: I just wanted to mix....
Me: Do you have a daughter or kid? To me, messing with my laptop is the equivalent of me touching your daughter, so you can understand how upset I am!
I am 2 seconds away from hurting you REAL BAD so I suggest you stay as far away as you can from me and my shit. Enjoy the rest of your night.

I also can't understand why your laptop was OFF DURING a gig (must be a window thing - keep it off so it doesn't mess up???) and how he could do something to it that you couldn't immediately recover from.

While playing A Tribe Called Quest, the kids who were from Brooklyn who had just recently preformed Chicken Noodle Soup and the Two-Step, became agitated and raised their voices, asking me in all seriousness, "Is This White People Hip-Hop?!"

I dropped the track momentarily and proclaimed, "Educate Yourselves!"

I had a "SECURITY!" moment this weekend.

Now, Im not so far gone, or so much of a hiphop elitist to realize that Juicy
is an amazing hiphop track.
Im a fan of it, like most weve been playing it for a decade and a 1/2.

having that been said.

I roll in about 900 (we use a red bull booth so I need to hook everything up)

[920]
hey man... its my boys birthday. will you play Juicy?
of course.
he stands there while Im still putting shit together.
[925]
well? are you gonna play it?
you havent noticed I dont even have a record on the turntable yet?
oh...so this music is not you?
no, its Muzak...I come on around 10.
well, can u make the muzak play juicy?
no...sorry.
dont worry, I play juicy almost every week here...
cool.
[955] different dude.
yo. play juicy.
yo, i will
(mind you these are affliction wearing, ed hardy soldiers straight off a jersey shore
spin off)
yo...play it now...its my boys birthday.
{I do the slow headphone removel, which is as prolofic as the "whip off the glasses" move]

security.

as sure as the sun rises I had about 10 more requests for juicy between 1130 and 130 when I finally dropped it...again.


I still maintain its this ANYONE who has facebook can be VIP
an over-inflated sense of entitlement.... reality TV heroes.
to be VIP you USED to have to be someone, have some money or REALLY be tight
with someone in the club.
promoters werent giving away a booth to 15 22 yr olds who are going to milk
a few bottles all night.... shit used to have to be earned.

i want to add that nobody gives a fuck about djs yo i ask a couple of people even my girl who do you think is more important the dj or the bartender you know what they said the bartender .....how the hell is the bartender more important i can see the promoter being more important or just as but the bartender


to be honest think about it like this, if you have a club with bartenders but no dj you still have a bar, if you have a club with a DJ but no bartenders its a bedroom

I can see it both ways. I work at one spot where it literally doesn't matter if there is a DJ or a jukebox. there will be a crowd every weekend night and they will have fun, dance, and most importantly drink. Breaks my heart but it's true. I've seen it with my own eyes.

Other spot I play at would be ghost town if it was just a jukebox. It would never crack on a weekend and therefore the bartenders would make jack shit. I get paid more at this spot because my services are more valuable to the bar.

In either case, one theme I'm working on this year is promoting the difference between a jukebox and a DJ. Jukebox used to give three songs for a dollar and now its a buck a piece. So...jukebox gets a raise and DJ pay rates are getting cut everywhere. FUCK THAT!

Let's promote the relationship between the DJ and the dancefloor. I've had enough of people yelling in my ear. If you want me to play a hot song, hit me on twitter/facebook, etc and make sure I know you love it and that I'm up on the tune. Then when I see that patron I play it for then when it's appropriate time to play that song. Eventually that person is going to start promoting to their friends how much they enjoy going to your night because you play their song and they don't even half to ask. I mean really, do they need to come ask for the same thing everytime. If you let them, they will. But if you let them know that there is a better way to communicate, then you can demonstrate the difference between the DJ and Jukebox by adding excitement and suspense to the music by mixing and blending. Something which a jukebox cannot do (yet).

No way would I have played Juicy again. My response to any request for juicy from them would have been, "50 bucks."

As in:

Play juicy man

"50 bucks."

What? Come on man, play juicy it's my boy's birthday

"50 bucks."

Dude you ain't serious...

"50 bucks."

I'd say nothing but "50 bucks" to those douchebags for the rest of the night. Fuck explaining anything...just:

"50 bucks."

I had a guy request Steve Aoki - Warp 2 times.

1st time, I said I'll check if I have it. (to normal folks it means if I have it, I'll play it...right?)
It sounded familiar by the title so I thought I might have it.

The 2nd time he came up I said, "I looked and I don't have it"

He said "Can't you play it from youtube?"

Me - Im sorry, English is totally wasted on me, I wish I cud help but I dont undastand a single word thats coming out of you mouth...(thinking she must realise im taking the piss/having a laugh with her)

On nights like these, (and depending on the chick) I have them come over by me, put the headphones on them and play their song. they think it is extra cool cause its blasting in their ears, they are singin and stuff... and as far as they are concerned i played it just for them... and the people who notice think its funny and laugh

Sarcasm homie, but seriously, I didnt even know that they were dating.

This is the problem; the douche-iness of the scene, getting gigs because you know some skank that happened to be the child of a famous singer. Dudes that are content to be some broad's little bitch, just to get gigs, are a huge problem with the scene. People aren't going to see DJs anymore, theyre going to see if the flavour of the month is going to be there with them, and this phenomena is shaping the way young DJs are being brought up. More concerned about the fame and making connections than working on the craft. Fuck a piggy-backing DJ bitch, the less we have of these, the easier it becomes for music to grow; See this scratchlive.net .




i want to add that nobody gives a fuck about djs yo i ask a couple of people even my girl who do you think is more important the dj or the bartender you know what they said the bartender .....how the hell is the bartender more important i can see the promoter being more important or just as but the bartender


to be honest think about it like this, if you have a club with bartenders but no dj you still have a bar, if you have a club with a DJ but no bartenders its FREE BEER!

started @ 9pm at my local spot.
Chick: comes up @ 9:15 and says hey do u Mickey Avalon my dick?
Me: yep
Chick: can you play it?
me: sure
Chick: right now.
me: no its waay to early for that song.
chick: well i'm the owners daughter and i want you to play it now
me: oh.... ok then.
chick: or do you want me to get the owner to tell you to play that song now
me:dont worry ill play it.

That aint happen to me but it kills me when the owner have a request and expects me to just play it right away. Sometimes I just want to punch his lights out but I just be like "yea yea coming" It doesnt come until I feel that particular song come on.

The owner doesn't even pay me, the promoter does. Even if he did he still gotta wait.

This one time I was playing and my boy comes to the club to mc for me, and I had to go to the back room so I told him to play the next song I had lined up. When I got back to the booth the owner is telling me if anyone can come dj at his club, I told him would you rather the music stop. He was like ok ok

2 songs later i played it with only her and her friend yelling and singing while everyone else was like WTF?

asked the manager about her and he tells me HUH? the owner dont have any kids!

Damn I got played...........................

On St Patricks day doing a thing for about 300 backpackers,

I'd started playing RnB/hip hop and then went into house, after about an hour of house/electro a girl walks up and asked for some (metal) band I'd never even heard of. I pretty much just told her I don't have that or anything even similar.

"So what, you only play hip hop then?"

All night too I kept getting people coming up to request something exactly as I was mixing, so I'd give them the "hang on" while I mixed it in...as soon as the new track had dropped and they'd realised what it was they'd get all excited and walk off.

I also got the standard thing of people referring to anything remotely house as techno.
Laz219 12:15 AM - 19 March, 2010
Actually besides that, it was a really good night. Never had so many people go out of their way to actually come and say thanks to me and that they really liked what I did.

I was playing NYE, and this girl was giving me the thumbs up for every song I mixed. The minute I played a song she didn't like, she came up to me to tell me. I said "So I've been playing music you love all night, and the second you don't like one of my songs, you feel the need to come and tell me?" She laughed it off and went back to the dance floor.

A few songs later she did it again, and I said "Seriously, you are not the only person on the dance floor." She apologized and I didn't hear from her.

Last night it was similar. Chick dancing, I dropped "Blame it" and she came up to me and said "I hate this song." I said "I didn't play it just to piss you off." "Play something else." "I guarantee a new song will be playing in a minute or so."

I wanted to say SHUT THE FUCK UP AND DANCE. Of course, I'd be the asshole if I said that, but what makes bitches think I care if they don't like this song or that song? Ugh.

Usual stuff, nothing new, just the faces change.

My Saturday gig is at a bar & grill, but it has a lounge-ish type vibe. I start at 8 and end at 12 (open ending).

Last nite 8:15 some French trancey boy and his silicone sidekicks plop right down in front of me. I wish I recorded the whole thing, it was really funny.

Silicone milf: Ok (whatever Frenchies name was), tell the DJ what to play.
Frenchie: DJ we want to hear some Armin Van Buuren or Tiesto, you know pump it up!
Me: Well it's kind of early right now, but I really don't have anything like that with me anyway, sorry.
Frenchie: Do you have anything newer? (I'm playing some Al Green, usually I go a bit into some R&B, softer 80's, Sade and Dubby stuff during the dinner time, until 9-15 or so)
Me: Well it's kind of early, I like to keep it a little more mellow during dinner, but yeah I have some new stuff.
Silicone Milf: Looks like we picked the wrong music venue.
Me: Haha, sorry.

For the next hour the group gets larger, so way more silicone milfs with low cut shirts and another older guy who obviously has alot of money, alot of coke, or a combination of both. Bar staff is having a hard time with them etc.

Now it's 9:00

Older coke guy to silicone milfs: I want sushi, lets go downtown!
Silicone milfs: why don't you just eat here?
Other silicone milf who is most likely doing rich coke guys coke: Well he really wants sushi.
Silicone milfs: we don't want to leave etc.

This goes on for about 15 minutes, I decide it is now time to add fuel to the fire. I break out P.Y.T, and then go into whirlwind of Disco bangers that would make you think it was the 70's, all the silicone milfs are nodding, shaking asses in seats, winking at me, complimenting on music etc.

The tension gets higher between rich coke guy and rich coke guys "girlfriend" and other milfs. Finally after some time, many drinks at the bar, rich coke guy gets his was and takes a few of the milfs with him.

Frenchie: DJ I am falling asleep.
Me: Wow, that's not good, you should head home you don't want to fall asleep while driving, not good.

That pretty much ended the dialogue between me, Frenchie, and the silicone milfs. Frenchie and his milf stay a bit longer, almost going into convulsions there moving to the music so much, and then leave.

After they leave,

Hostess: rolleyes
Me: I know what the fuck?
Bartender: I've never seen them before
Me: I know, woooooooooooow

Electro House, not Electro or "Electronica".

And yes, I realize that people use the term "electro" as shorthand for electro house, but as long as we're talking genres, they're two different things.

woman: Is this what you'll be playing all night? (9pm. Playing "Missyou"** by Musiq)

me: Well, it's early. What were you wanting to hear?

woman: Anything, just not so black. Maybe ease up on the black stuff.

me: No problem. I have some mulatto, some mexican. Even some asian techno. And my white stuff varies from caucasion to straight up aryan youth stuff.

woman: What? I don't understand.

me: I was using sarcasm to evade and discredit your racist remark.

woman: Oh. (woman walks away and I assume tells her date)

man: Did you just call my girl a racist bitch?

me: No, I just called her a racist.

man: And then you called her a bitch?

woman: Nope. I was sarcastic and dry with her, but not vulgar.

man: Speak english, man, not fucking ebonics!

me: I believe the term "eighty-sixed" is an English term, but I could be wrong.

(Security then escorted them out.)

I then played a mash-up of "Sweet Home Alabama" meets "Country Grammar".

The man heard it as they were being escorted and turned and flipped me off.

**(editor's note: "Missyou" is a note-for-note cover of "Miss You" by The Rolling Stones, for those who didn't know).

Got to the club tonight and was pulled aside by the owner who informed me the couple had complained about me accusing them of being racists.

She told me that they said "He kept insulting her with his ebonic speak and threw gang signs as we left the bar."

My boss then told them it would probably be best if they never sat foot in the club again.

Gang signs?

REALLY?!?!

I'm not sure if they're racist, but they are definitely morons.

I know this guy who I met through one of the other DJ's on this board. He's just a little weird, to put it nicely. He comes up to the club every once in a while and says what's up. Well Saturday night he brought a friend with him. He introduced himself. 30 seconds later...the dude requested Rude Boy. I think this was the first request of the night (3 + hours into my set) and I wanted to tell the guy to GTFO but I gave him a chance.

Keep in mind that I'm doing a video set in the middle of the night with a packed crowd. I'm using in ear monitors, and every time someone wants to talk to me, it's a major inconvenience. At least not as easy as it used to be with regular DJ headphones.

Anyways, so no more than 30 seconds later the guy taps me on the shoulder again and says I have to ask you something. He said "have you ever tried amphetamines?"

WHAT?

I said no, I haven't. And of course he then goes on to offer me some if I was interested. I chose to say no and put my earphones back on instead of punching the guy in the face.

The thing that bugs me more about racism in America today is that it seems to be
more excepted because they just aren't calling us Niggers or spiks anymore.

They say things like that music is too black for music that is too ethnic

or refer to people as "ghetto" who they want exclude from their events

or making remarks like It's not you Juan you were born here it's the border Jumpers
That are bankrupting this country!

On the flip side of that i have a problem with people who see racism where there isnt any, for example your said " people as "ghetto" who they want exclude from their events
"...if a guy comes up with some pants sagged to the ground a wife beater and a bandana on hes prob not gonna be welcome in alot of spots, now if thats a black dude someones gonna scream racism but it really dosent matter that hes black, he coulda been white yellow purple or brown if you walk up lookin like your gonna rob someone people arent gonna want you around

I kinda feel like I started this stuff about race in this thread.

The past few stories I posted just happened to be about that, and I found the ignorance behind the racism humorous.

LoL

I was more making a joke of the others B4 you G_UK I read something before
this about how nurses are great Lay's

Then You said something about a dude requesting a finger in the bum

and I remembered Stiffler from that movie American Pie and I wondering
If that's why so Many thought nurses to be great a Lay .

Never mind ... Just trying to steer the boat back to the right direction

Anyhow...

I once Had someone request Im on a boat U know "T pain and the lonely island"
This went on for like 5 weekends in a row and I was like WTF couldn't find it
anywhere

Finally I downloaded a copy from DMS and Played it
Damn I swear I heard crickets!!! People left the dance Floor so fast I thought
Some one had Pulled a Gun>The Songs ok I guess.. but I couldn't figure out
Why if so many heads requested it.

Then when I finally played it Nothing!!
Anyhow a few minutes later after I began to build my floor again
Some Drunk Dude says so when are you gonna play I'm on a Boat?

Me: UHH ... NEVER!
Him: Here's a 20
Me: Umn.. I'll play it in 2 mins
Him: Thanx

I love my mexican wife... She calls me gringo all the time, so i have to look for opportunities to throw it back at her every once in a while... like yesterday,,,

She was talking about how her dad was telling her that he had ran into a bunch of people she use to work with and they were all suprised that she was married...

She made the comment to me that she is suprised that she is married too, especially to a gringo... we laughed a little, but i was looking for an opportunity to start a little shit flinging and set her up for a good one.

it worked perfectly, we were at Babies R Us and I went to get a cart to put some stuff in, when i came back i said that the lady over there has a really cute baby,

she said which one, and i pointed and said the hispanic one. *ding* hispanic? dont you mean mexican? (she'e joking)

anyways I joke enough for her to call me racist... and then I say racist? I married a fucking mexican! (should have seen the moms at babies r us give me the stare of death...)

"You and I both know i'm not racist.. come on, if i had anything against mexicans why would i had married one...

babe, seriously I dont have anything against mexicans, where would i be with out you? I think everyone needs a mexican in their house!"

She didnt have a come back cause she was laughing so hard.

I actually had another "DJ" literally try and fight me over Serato inputs the other night, I walked away after switching my laptop to internal so he could take the inputs out of my box into his.
Next second the sound goes completely dead, for some reason he decided it was a good idea to close my laptop. I figured if he'd done that I may as well pack my stuff up so went back.
Guy was getting real bitchy about that I'd moved the leads while he totally struggled to comprehend what was going on(I just put the inputs from his box into mine when I started) as I was packing up I just said "why do you use Scratch Live if you can't even wire it?"
Guy then proceeded to abuse me about how I shouldn't have touched anything, I shouldn't even be DJing because they were asked to DJ the party (the guy that owned all the gear asked me if I wanted to jump up) and how proper DJs carry externals with their music (do gigs with no laptop...hmm)

I love being given advice from quite possibly the biggest wavie I've ever seen. I actually don't understand why he puts headphones on.

Laz219 12:57 PM - 30 March, 2010
Pretty much, It didn't really suprise me much though. Every picture I've ever seen of these guys seems to be basically 4 people standing behind one mixer. Usually all with headphones (from a single mixer, not using Y adapters, just having them on for no reason) and besides one or two. Usually all staring at the screen/reaching for the effects on the DJM. That's exactly what it was, besides one it was purely wave watching. Especially considering the fact that after I changed the cue channels to my channels, then turned my laptop off, the next few songs were bought in with my channels still on (meaning no signal going to the headphones whatsoever) yet still with headphones on.

I got a call last Thursday while I was actually spinning at a club from a local number. Since it was early and I had time to talk, I answered it. The guy on the other line said he was looking for a DJ. I asked him for more details, and he said he "doesn't really need a DJ", but someone who can show up and hook up their equipment so he can plug in his iPod and DJ from that.

I couldn't believe that bullshit. I wanted to just laugh at him and hang up, but I gave him the number to my sound guy so he can get an idea that it would cost him about $500 just to rent a full set-up for his party.

I got a call Satuday with a kid offering me $40.00 for my little mobile rig
(2x 15 eons & 2x eon subs) for 8 hours.

whats this for man... a charity or something? (I would have probably given them
to him for free...Im a sucked for charities)

No, Its a wedding... 375 people.

oh, my sound isnt enough for that crowd...

well, they are only paying me 250, so I cant spend alot on sound.

[FACEPALM]
DVDjHardy 3:59 PM - 5 April, 2010
That comes out to about $1.50/person. I'd ask him how does it feel to be the cheapest part of the wedding? See that table cloth? They paid for more it than you! lol

Yup.
If people spend $30,000 on flowers for a wedding, they need to think on the same level for the Dj, which people will remember more, but always think of last budget-wise.

maaaaan did I have the #1 stunna Saturday.

945, 2 minutes into my first song (which is more or less a sound check)

dude come up rockin "the uniform"
Ed Hardy hat sideways, white sunglass, trendy jeans and tan like a mofo..
and of course, necklace, big ass earings & all your standard tattoos.
(not to take anything away from anyone who rocks this... but Ive seen that
exact out fit on sooooo many people It can now be called a uniform.)

so. something like this.

H> yo man, let me kill it!
M> Kill what?
H> the crowd
M> the crowd doesent get here til 1130
<temper clearly flaring, possible roid rage>
H> come on man... u aint even doin shit...Ill kill this place
M> really, you can start by relaxing,,,
H> dont tell me to fucking relex asshole.
M >so your a DJ,
H> yeah Ive played in ibiza and all over europe...
M> and this is your way to get on the decks? insult the DJ before the night starts
then expect to play... do you anything even with you?
H> I can use your shit man...it dont matter. (literally hoppin up and down)
M> yeah man, no one borrows my shit, as a dj your should know theres certain things that we dont share...
H>so your not gonna let me play dude.
M> even if i wanted to, i cant I have a very strict contract with the owner.
H> I know the owner
M> really... which one (theres like 10)
H> well, my boy knows him.... why are you fucking with me.
M> you gotta understand, u dont walk into the DJ booth 1 song in and demand
decktime with no gear... its not how it works.
H> your just a pussy...your afraid Ill steal your night.
(at this point I had made eye contant with a bouncer who read my face and was heading over...I knew I had one oppertunity to slip in my final jab.
M> yeah...Im real afraid...who's working here tonight, and who's gettign kicked out
for being a dooshbag?
(just as security shows up...)
m> you are.

Im the nicest, easist going dude...
but this over-inflated sense of self importance is one of my biggest pet peaves.
Ive offered to kool people to come back and do a set when I meet them out.

but seriously... some people.
Dj-M.Bezzle 9:57 PM - 22 April, 2010
lol i had a couple good ones last week, one guy walked up and said he was a dj and he liked how i was playing then proceeded to ask the following

Him: So which side do you have the music set up on right to left or left to right
me:ummm the music goes both ways
Him: AWSOME...what are those for
me: huh
Him: Those...(the turntables)
me: those are turntables they play the music
Him: Oh ok so this isnt the one that automatically matches everything up?? You CAN put it on auto right

i had 2 more guys that night give me more or less the same conversation
Dj-M.Bezzle 10:02 PM - 22 April, 2010
and also this may sound offensive but its not an opinion it was a strict observation of a particular experience but.....what is it with black dudes and the mic

I had a guy come up and ask to get on mic, not to rap just to say some dumb shit and get seen, the party was goin great and its a smaller venue and he was doin some serious hypin on his own so im like sure dude why not, thinkin worse case senario he says some dumb shit and ima clown him. So i hand dude the mic and he does his fatman scoop impersination (i liked it it added to the show ).....but then i literally saw every single black dude in the crowds eyes get big and there was a race to the booth as if i was giving away free shots. i mean they were scramblin, and i had to tell em i was just lettin him on cause i knew him (i lied lol) but i mean dudes were leavin girls they were dancin with just standin there, it was like 30 girls on the floor withthe what the fuck just happened face. I mean there may have been some dudes int he bathroom or at the bar i didnt see huddled around my table but im fairly positive at leat 85% were there askin to get on mic
Joshua Carl 10:50 PM - 22 April, 2010
(disclaimer) this a broad generalization in that Ive seen in my career, certainly not
to be taken as law.

I have done my fair share of parties where Im the only white dude for miles.

The Mic is a different animal in the hiphop culture (not saying the music alone, but the culture)...certainly much different than the top40 culture...)
top40 and hip-POP have often snatched snippets from the underground clubs and
brought them to light in their rooms... so we have become used to the whole mic
skills argument for DJs. (IE... he sucks, but has mic skills...theres threads about it)

Bezzle Ive founf myself in that exact situation.rocking a great party.
promoter asks for the mic...all hell breaks loose.
which sometimes its good... hit loop on a clean beat, and take a drink.
let them say what they want to say ect ect...
but it can certainly KILL the dancefloor vibe.
and often the tradeoff of having 50 people get shout-outs isnt worth losing
the energy of the room...
I appreciate what a mic can do sometimes, especially if in capable hands.
but often its like DJs, they think they are amazing... but they just arent.

I for one, maybe its becuase im in the bizz having my name shouted over the mic
to a bunch of random people doesent appeal to me...
Ive watched a dude @ one of my nights take the mic and just walk away with it.
for 20 minutes it was random...

"ha...hey I see you..._____ & _____ promotions in the house.......yeah.... uh huh
hey girl... shout out to tiffany, shout out to...what, whats your name? shout out to kelly...ha...yeah... whats good ya'll... whats up to my boy mark..."
literally 20 minutes STRAIGHT of that.
I shut if off....when he came to the booth...I said "
its a wireless mic... its not made for political speeches, its got a 10 minute life.

and i watched as everytiome he said something... the 80% of the room who had no idea who he was, and could careless would look at me pissed off...
Id just point and throw my hands up.
Joshua Carl 10:55 PM - 22 April, 2010
on the other side of the coin. Ive done a few parties for playboy.
and they sent their MALE host (who's pretty much an ass-recruiter)

its in his contract to have the mic on all night.

and he's not about hyping the crowd... he's about getting girls to come fawn
all over him becuase he works for playboy...
"he'd have idle banter with girls over the mic: hey sweetie, whats your name...
how old are you...so, you wanna be in playboy huh....what are u drinking..."

djatrain@hotmail.com 12:57 PM - 23 April, 2010
People and the mic. I've had white and black drunk people want to get on the mic. And it is always the same answer. Hell fukn no! Learned the hard way when I gave a chick the mic and she started spittin. She did it while the floor was packed and over lyrics that were playing already. Cut that mic so fast and just shook my head. But, it was my fault, should of never gave the mic out.

Some parties or clubs I do, a hype man is already there and he has his own mic. Also a person needs to be on a mic at a lockdown(a lockdown is where the doors lock @ 11 or so and strippers fill the room).
Free Man 1:32 PM - 23 April, 2010
I was doin a huge party... people were shoulder to shoulder and the cops showed up... i had about 7 big black dudes (all gang bangers) come up to me. one dude says let me see the mic, these people need to shut up we dont need the cops inside.

I was like yup... here ya go... so that got interesting he says

HEY...EVERYBODS NEEDS TO SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! WE GOT COPS OUTSIDE> SHUT THE FUCK UP...

That turns into someone else sayin FUCK YOU! YOU CANT TELL ME WHAT TO DO!!!

one of the dudes homies grab the mic, so i switched it off... LoL he was the smaller dude in the group, and seemed to have the crazies... You should have seen him going nuts in the mic having no idea that no one had any idea he was even talking...

STFU STFU!!!! I KILL YOU MO FO I KILL YOU! I CUT YOU I SHOOT YOU! YOUR DEAD MAN YOURE DEAD...

but with so many people in the room me and the homies were the only ones that could hear him...

So then the fight started, shit starts getting thrown everywhere... the cops come in as one of the big dudes is leaving up stairs and points at a dude and yells you/re dead.

Long story short, dude didnt get to leave like he wanted... and it was sooo funny to see him go from raging mad to the nicest person in the room.

I know everyone plays the Pac and Snoop maybe even a Mac10 or Ice Cube
but anyone remember all the other artist in that time ? Classic!

I had a Kid Capri moment last friday. Lol. So I've been doing long hours at work. I do accounts and its year end and I'd booked a holiday so had been slogging all week.

I get to the club and am setting up. Some guys and a girl come in early and within 10 seconds the gobby girl has started. Oh you going to play anything decent?!?! Said yep and continued setting up. 2 mins later the boyfriend is over and is making small talk. He then starts to talk about how he used to DJ and what was I playing tonight etc etc. He wanted some house music. I said we have 2 rooms. The 2nd room opens in an hour or so and they'll have some house. But as I was in a good mood (holiday in two days) I thought fuck it I'll play some house. I have a little on my HD.

So i put on a house song. Nothing major just some Armand Van Helden and started on my first mix. Nailed the mix and take the head phones off to see and here the guy over the other side of the room saying how much of a wanker I was and a shit dj and why did they pay me at all and he should be doing it.

Now normally I just ignore people but being as I'd had a long week and don;t even like house I thought fuck it. Pulled the fader down and shouted across the room no mic.

What did you say?
*silence*
Yeah you bruv what did you say?
*silence*
What's wrong? A minute ago you were running your gums about me. Come over here and say what you got to say!!

His missus tells him to ignore me and not start any trouble

Its fine. He's a grown man. If he wants to have a row we can have a row. Don;t let your woman talk for you.
*silence*

Put the fader back up on the house tune and immediately changed it to some Mic Geronimo. If in doubt take it to Queens lol. The security and bar staff and assistant manager were all deadly silent not knowing where to look. The guy just put his drink down and walked out with his mates and the girl.

Not normally me but its been a long time since I've had confrontation with anyone.

It was all in fun, but I bet they won't be doing that again.

First off I'm so glad you Didn't say "So.. I played some tiesto or Confusion By New Order" You know?... Thats that opening song from the movie Blade you know where wesley snipes is some kind of Vampire half breed / slayer

This will refresh the memory Watchwww.youtube.com

Anyhow...

I wish more Dj's Had the Fuck It let's play some house attitude... Dope!

But I'm Still shocked that you DON'T EVEN LIKE HOUSEE!!!!!

I suggest no more pitbull, lady gaga, Ke$ha, and whoever else is popular using house
and not giving love to Housers in General I'd like to see Pitbull say Hey
Night Crawlers THANK YOU MAN I will KEEP PUSHIN THE FEELING

Or Ke$ha say thank you to ELECTRO > Lady gaga is on her own Shizz but if it wasn't for ELECTRO that B*tch would be broke also so I thinks she should say something 2

Not that they are House but they should say something anyone with me ?
Pitbull is the worst offender If you don't like HOUSE dont play Pitbull PLEASE!!
and if your gonna play That Hotel Service Please play Night Crawler Pushin The Feeling also or If you Play I know you want Me Umn actually I think I might be talkin
out my A** on that one Because I think He does shout out 75 Brazil on that Piece

But still Rock originals!! Show you know something about the music 75 Brazil Street
and Pushin the Feelin

also

I would say something about Akon but He has Balls and actually gets up on stage with David Guetta Big Up! Akon you the MAN

And for the rest of you I don't even like house folks I'd say you already playing alot of
it you just don't know it I can go on and educate but this is'nt the thread.

Lol tell em why you mad Keoul.

I tell a minor lie. I don't mind a few songs here and there but don't actively listen to house music. I also don't like these 130bpm rnb/rap/house songs either. But as a working dj you have to know where to draw the line when it comes to personal taste and crowd taste. if it was up to me I'd be playing NY thug music all night lol.

As for the guy in my story. I try and be accommodating where possible. These people pay to get in the club and what not. If its early and I'm in a good mood they can hear something different to the club policy. I just let them know that when regular club goers start to come in the music will be switching back to ''normal''.

With regards to the house I do like (tolerate) I'm going to show my ignorance here but I like stuff like this which isn't strictly house we call it Garage over here but you get the drift.

Tonight at my regular Saturday gig (A lounge-like bar)

Chugging along like I normally do.

Blond comes up cd in hand: Hey my friend is here and he is a DJ a Pacha, it would make him happy if you could play a track or two off this cd

Me: Um, what? (I didn't really understand he question at first)

Blond: My friend is a dj, and he wants to hear some house music, this cd is all mixed, (making a swirling motion on the cd) do you think you could pop it in later and let a few tracks play? I think he would really appreciate it.

Me (with what I'm pretty sure was a WTF? look on my face): So wait, you're telling me, you want me to put another dj's cd when I'm djing?

Blond: Yeah is that cool? It's house music, I think he wants to hear some house.

Me: Uh, no. I do have house music you know, ask your friend what he wants to hear, and maybe I'll fit a track or two in. (blatant lie)


I do have house on my drive, but this is not really a house spot. I fit some stuff in here and there, but when I do, it's commercial, not too crazy, and usually from the 90's, save for Calabria and the like.

I don't care how "off" I might have been tonight, everybody staff and owner included was happy with what I was doing, and it's pretty effed to come at me like that. I gladly entertain requests which come few and far between, and have even played a track off of a cd for someone, but this was waaaaaaaaaaaay out of line.

I also don't care if he does dj at Pacha, I'm only 2 hours outside NYC, so I'm not mystified when someone says something like that. If he wants to hear house, go back to Pacha, or find the clubs downtown that play the usual electro stuff. Come to my spot if you want to hear what I play.

Also feel ya on the NY Thug Music For me it would be House & Reggae More
Dance Hall than reggae//

Though...

Maybe it's me but I Just feel in general DJ's are artists and are way too tied down
by the "NORM" I.E. Top 40 radio / Yuppy Owner if it wasn't for the DJ's among us who refuse to let Top 40 and the Club owner dictate their Sets we would be lost

There's nothin I enjoy more than a DJ who isn't afraid to push thier limits no matter
what they are hired to play. The problem is we are getting away from the art and Pushing gimicks on our crowds. We start to not like what we do and we lose our self respect.

Ofcourse there are lines and what not but When you are booked by whoever
club owner / promoter whatever they are buying a talented Artist

But the problem is Most Owners/ promoters want a walking Ipod to play for them
and Don't Respect us for what they hire us to DO!


Maybe I'm out of Line ... Or Maybe some of us stopped caring

Well..I think i'm about ready to quit doing any kind of private birthday parties. The last 10 or so in a row have been terrible.

Last night I must have had a request for every single genre of music that exists, all with the line of "this is shit why don't you play some _______"

Had the usual thing...someone asked me to play Shut It Down, I said I'd get to it. He came back 3 or so more times, then pulled up the MC and asked him to tell me to play it "right now" (they were getting the speeches and all started at that moment)

Another walked up "this is shit, why don't you play something good"
I just replied "if you want me to do anything for you, that is the best thing to say so I won't"
"Yeh, well i'm a DJ too, I use vinyl though" (just used the places dual CD players last night, didn't think it was necessary to take in turntables. The way he said it but was like "I am clearly better than you because I use vinyl")
He then started imitating me flicking the fader up as I mixed the next track in and trying to talk through my headphones. (if he was a DJ he should know better)

Same day, different event (during the day) the girl whos party it was had lost her camera and wanted the mic to ask if anyone had it. I was kinda busy so I said I'd do it for her in a minute. So she brings a guy back..
Him: "Give her the mic"
Me: "I'll do it in a minute, I told her that"
H: "Do it now"
M: "Give me a second"
H "Turn the fucking music down and give her the mic"
M: "You need to chill the fuck out, I'll do it"

This went back and forth for a minute.

I got over it and gave her the mic but hadn't completely turned the song that was playing down (so low you could barely hear it) and he still kept going "turn the fucking music off"

Wasn't even a big deal but if he is going to be that arrogant about it and think I have to do everything he says as soon as he says it...I'm not going to do it.

Music AND mic would have been off at that second and I would have been packing up. Fuck them. That's a hairline away from a throat-punch! The second someone talks to me that way, it has gone from being a hobby and becoming a JOB.

Man that Guy punked you and you took it like a bitch Sorry Bruv Were it me I woulda said Party over but as we all know it's easy to quarter Back the Day after

Think DJ Vlad that fool caught a beat down from Rick Ross Clowns and took him to court and Won a Easy Milli For asking a question too many times

Shoulda stood your ground M8 But then you would be like me with a Bad Rep and no job.
Laz219 5:28 AM - 2 May, 2010
haha, well yeh. I was working for a company yesterday so anything like that doesn't become a bad rep for me, just the company. It had been one of those days and I just didn't really care anymore.

Just seems like every private thing I do for people around the 18-25 mark they seem to think because it's their party I have to do every little thing they say. If it's the person paying me I will listen, when it's just every person in the room deciding they should share their opinion with me I don't really care. They never ask for anything. Always extremely rude and just basically bark orders at me.

Worst I've seen, waiting for a friend to finish up her bar shift (in a private room at a club) They'd booked their own DJ. I was just hanging out watching...the DJ let basically anybody that wanted to grab the mic.
One guy (that was stupidly drunk, already been cut off at the bar) grabbed it every 5-10 minutes and just screamed "I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one" first time a few people laughed...he obviously felt like a hero after that so just kept doing it.
The hour or so I was sitting there was just a mess of random shit being screamed over the mic and a crowd around fighting over it.
People are pretty easily amused.
beatdown 6:28 AM - 3 May, 2010
Had a Capri moment last night -

Drunk, short, ugly girl comes up, wants me to play a song for her friend's birthday. Doesn't know what song she wants. I suggest birthday sex or in da club, play birthday sex, even give her friend a shout out on the mic. Fuck it, its early.

So, 20 min later she comes back, wants to hear atmosphere. I again try to be a good guy and explain that while I like atmospere, its not a good choice for people to dance to. Well that pisses her off, so now she decides its a good time to demand TWO requests, atmosphere and birthday sex again. Now. I say sorry I played your request let me do my job now, which is to DJ. She starts yelling about how not many people are dancing anyway (it's 1030) and that I'm a bad DJ. I tell her that's the worst way to get her request played.

Round three, she comes back up with another drunk girl as "backup" - now has one more demand as well: that I stop the music so she can sing happy birthday - I tell her no, no one can use the mic except me, sorry. She launches into the bad dj thing again, and I've had enough, so I cut the music, ask the crowd "WHO CAME HERE FOR KARAOKE TONIGHT?" silence "THIS GIRL WANTS ME TO STOP THE MUSIC SO SHE CAN SING. WHO WANTS ME TO STOP THE MUSIC SO THIS DRUNK GIRL CAN SING" silence "WHO WANTS ME TO PUT THE MUSIC BACK ON AND DJ LIKE I HAVE BEEN" problem solved, didn't even buy her a drink like Capri did.

well if it was her party and she got robbed i would have turned the music off and told let her boo make the announcement. no reason to make her wait in my opion. especially since if something of mines was missing all hell would break loose.

In all honesty, while I share the same sentiments about most of the BS here, I have to wonder why this part is in here.

Like Bezzle said, was she the one paying you? If someone is paying me and asks to use the mic or even requests, they get it no problem, no questions asked. Even if she was being a bitch about it, and did not like the "Sure hang on a sec" I normally give for this type of situation, music would have been completely off, and mic in her hand.

I'll probably take some flack for this, but I don't agree with you here. You can complain all you want about how you were treated afterward, because if she was that rude in a time of need, she was probably not the greatest client in the world anyway, but from the way it was written (no Nas) you acted unprofessionally. Give her the mic, turn the music all the way off, and enjoy the 30 second break.
DJ.AJ 1:44 PM - 3 May, 2010
Also - i might add, if this is a party in an urban area with an urban crowd (aka the hood) doesn't make since to get into arguments with the guests or the host. I know plenty of guys who have gotten their stuff taken - because of issues like that. Also - just packing up and leaving - i'd don't know how that would have played out either.
Dj-M.Bezzle 1:45 PM - 3 May, 2010
+1 i mean to each his own but the way i look at it if it was her party then the people are here for her, not so much the DJ, shes the focal point of the party and the one you wanna make sure is happy with your service. If she had lost her camera time is of the essence, you wanna find it before someone walks off with it. If you lost your wallet in a store and asked if someone found it\for help finding it how would you feel if the employees said were busy right now come back in a few hours when we are closed and we will see what we can do to help you out. Making a quick anouncment shouldnt be foreign to a dj

I had one oe of them slam my laptop lid closed when I wouldnt play a Beastie boys song (for the third time) during the night... and I lost it... I leaped over the booth with every intention to kick him in the chin and some how ended up landing right in front of him..

But seriously as many incedents iv'e seen in a club where a fight breaks out it just
occured to me why not bust out with some fluffy brit spears or
the barney song seasame street sum Count dracula ?


Even if it doesn't break up the fight how funny would it be to watch grown
PPS acting like monkeys while playing seasame street < Just a thought...



A fight DID break out at one of my spots like 2 years ago and I have to say I kinda instigated it..

There was a Bachelorette party in the VIP section. they had the area to themselves and were drinking... they all had beads, flower leighs and dickhats.. (yeah thats what I said).
They decided to take it to the main floor... I stopped watching them and kept it going... then I head some noise. I looked out and there was a circle around some drunk dude who was trying to dance with the Bride to be... she was just watching him with a wierd look on her face... then he started to unbutton his shirt.. I was playing house music at the time... so I dropped the acapella to "short-dick man" and everyone started laughing like crazy.... I guess one dude was laughing to hard and the drunk guy punched him...
They started going at it.. and I played the original "Batman" theme from TV.

someone slipped me a $20. I still managed to get introuble.

i acutually just downloaded a video remix of elmos song from CC for just such an occasion

Safdsre in case you read this: I don´t give a rat´s ass if I am on your list or not. I emailed you, I sent you messages, I talked to one of your crew members and did everything I could think of but you just don´t want to add me.
I will still get your tracks.

I wouldn´t share them though. Sharing safdsre´s tracks is worse than pretending to dj and having a mix cd play.

sometimes i will start my sets off with some old school/hip hop drop mix set. last night this guy comes up and wants a pad and pen to write requests. this guy looks like mr clean with the shaved head and fat hoop earrings. hes wearing a black suit and has leather gloves on and hes very obviouslly gay. he hands me back the paper and me thinking its gonna be some rock or something, he has on there trey songz, ice cream paint job, red cafe, UGK. i was in shock, totally not what i would expect from the job.

later on her wrote me another note that said he loves hip hop and if he were to die and god asked him what he would want played, it would be hip hop hahahaha

Wednsday night residency at a bar not a venue'ish bar, just a Bar...I've had a few oddball requests lately but nothing too crazy or anything outta line...
Wednsday night im just finishing up setting my gear up, and i'm playing a prerecorded classic hip hop mix so i can do my sound check and prepare my first few tracks...its like 8:30 and i start playing at 9...Well i already spotted the first person that needs to leave, dude is completely trashed at 830..
Well 2 seconds after he spots my gear, he walks up demanding the microphone, i tell him no you dont need my mic, im busy setting up my gear..So he keeps talking about how he can freestyle, and next thing ya know he's off bumpin his gums mumbling about somethin...what he calls rappin...Very next second the dude's got his hands on my turntable...I told him back up and not to touch my gear, Luckily the bouncer see's this and gets the owners attention then comes straight to get the guy away, Meanwhile ol dude is nonstop "Ima rap in yo face! Ima rap in yo face!"
So owner comes up with his girl (coowner?) and they start tryin to get the guy away and the whole time i'm laughin at the guy...Owner is tellin him in all seriousness
"You dont even know who this dude is! This is dj Dispo!! Dispo!! WTF are you doing even trying to fuck with his gear! Thats the first fucking rule!!" So im laughing harder now cuz the owner is talkin about me like im the president or somethin and decide to throw on some eminem for the scrawny white guy tryin to rap as he's being dragged out the building haha..
Then had an older guy in his late 40's come up to me at like 1030 while i'm playing rhianna and ask me to play earth wind and fire hahahaha that was a night..i also had some short person requesting songs that i didnt have all night

Just in case you wanted a song stuck in your heads...

Do you remember the 21st night of September?
Love was changing the minds of pretenders
While chasing the clouds away

Our hearts were ringing
In the key that our souls were singing
As we danced in the night,
Remember how the stars stole the night away

on and on - say that you remember
on and on - dancing in September
on and on - never was a cloudy day

My thoughts are with you
Holding hands with your heart to see you
Only blue talk and love,
Remember how we knew love was here to stay

Now December found the love that we shared in September.
Only blue talk and love,
Remember the true love we share today

on and on - say that you remember
on and on - dancing in September
on and on - never was a cloudy day

on and on - say do you remember
on and on - dancing in September
on and on - golden dreams were shiny days

Some bells were ringing
Our souls were singing
Do you remember,never a cloudy day?

on and on - say do you remember
on and on - dancing in September
on and on - never was a cloudy day

a few years back i got a request to play Luke's "Doo Doo Brown" mind you i was hired to play for a church crowd
dirtyonekanobi 10:14 PM - 8 May, 2010
Last gig I had, no lie, this is EXACTLY how this conversation went:
Random lady walks up right up next to me - "Can you play some Jay Z"
me: "I got u, what song"
her: "doesn't matter, I haven't been out in a while, and I just wanna hear some JayZ"
me: "I got u. Lemme slow down the tempo (playing house) and I got u"

bout 15 mins later, I slow it up, and play "on to the next one" - 20 mins later she comes back "Can you PLEASE play some Jay Z"
me: "I just played it"
her: "No you didn't"
me: "seriously, I just played it a couple minutes ago"
her: "no, you didn't"
me: "I just did, but I'll play some more in a bit"
her: "can u play a JayZ song next, I work for Def Jam"
me: "really?"
her: "yeah, really"
me: "what song do you want"
her: "Doesn't matter, just some JayZ"

-By now, I'm so frustrated that I'll do anything for her to leave me alone, so I say "I got you, next song is "Empire State of Mind" (played, but I want to MAKE SURE she knows its a JayZ song"
she says: "I don't really work for Def Jam"
me: "huh?"
her: "My husband's a DJ and I know you guys hate requests"
me: "its cool, I got you next song"
her: "my husband isn't really a dj, I need to stop lying"
me: "what?"
her: "I'm gonna bust out dancing as soon as I hear some Jiggaman"
me: "bet, comin up, so u better get out there"
her: "this is my first time taking E, am I supposed to be this happy?"
me: "WHAT?"
Moral of the story - that lady YACKED my ear off so long that I completely missed my cue and let Ice Cream Paint Job play out and cleared the dance floor. That was the single weirdest conversation I've ever had while spinning.

Not while DJing but I just got a call for a Sat night job at a local ice house. I had a cancellation and kept the deposit and was looking for a job anyway so I quoted them $350 for the night and I'll provide everything....Sound & lights. She fired back, we pay our DJs $75 but I'll offer you $125 because we are in a bind. I told her to look on CL and she'd find someone quick.

Thats like being at stripper and gettin pennies for tips

Seriously... If I was 13 and saving up for a coke and some popcorn at the movies
I woulda still said NOOOO

I hate wishin someone Bad but that place needs to go out of business

SH*T a DJ Hero goes for more than 75 and 350 is a fair price for live talent plus

the best part of doing a residency at a club a friend is the manager at, telling stupid people off and have it fully supported haha

so last night its pretty busy, and these group of girls come in. they are kinda hanging out and one comes up and asks for the classic 'play some good music'. i tell her i am playing good music (at the time it was some lighter disco house and indie dance), and shes like can you play some biggie or christina agulaira. im like biggie is sick and i will later (i will sometimes close the night on a hip hop drop mix set) and she starts yapping to her friends and they walk over to the manager (my friend) and tell him that I suck and they want some good music. he defends me, tells them im awesome and if they dont like the music they can leave. they dont, they come stand by the booth, and the girl who complained is standing right by the smoke machine. my friend comes over, says he wants them out of the club and to play something grimy and well smoke them out. on goes some grindy dubstep and the smoke gets blasted lol. the girl who was complaining ended up bouncing and her friends stayed and were dancing and having fun

did a HS prom this weekend and why in the hell would someone expect me to change the song when everyone is dancing (300). i mean the chaperons had to keep the kids from knocking over my equipment. "play something (ONLY I) can dance too" was all to common.
Pates 12:26 PM - 24 May, 2010
When anyone comes up to you and asks anything ,pass them a small "post it note" stack and a pen and tell them/motion to them to "write it down".If they do ,they show RESPECT and you can read it and answer it when it is convenient TO YOU.If they ask "can i just ask/tell you real quick ? " etc, point to your ear and angrily SHOUT " I' M ---- D E A F "
Joshua Carl 3:32 PM - 24 May, 2010
Ive only done maybe 15-20 HS events.
I generally forward all my mobile work to guys who thrive in that setting.

but I had a good situation with a few schools, and they wanted a performance
DJ...and the $$$ was right.

I found that alot of schools are DAY & NIGHT,
a few schools were just ready to party, didnt matter what I played.
as long as it was was recognizable they would be jumpin all over.
some of the others there was NO PLEASING.
there were cliques that would send people up in droves with obscure requests.
IE, "will you play the bonus track off of this random cd...whats it called?
I dont know its track 15... will you play some pink floyd, will you play some NWA?,will you play some mandy moore"

and thats mainly why I leave HS events to the professionals.
it takes infinite patience to deal with them usually

I don't know any of these play something I know
I can't help you if you don't know these.
You're shit
I am
No you really are
I know thank you

Hi
Hi

Nah its RnB, Reggae, Rap that sort of thing
No its a bit Jungle in here tonight

I've actually gotten some good and humble requests as of late--must be because I haven't been playing as many top 40 gigs. With one I immediately thought "hey that's a good song--for sure. It's even the same speed...wait, it's even in the same key!"
DJ Dub Cowboy 8:14 PM - 27 May, 2010
I'd say 1 in every 100 (maybe 200) requests is actually a good request that totally fits and I would not have thought of.

It's that 1 request, which usually sets the dancefloor off, that keeps me from throat punching everybody that steps to the booth.

DJChad72 7:23 PM - 30 May, 2010
Experience 1:
Person: Can you play something old? There are alot of older people here?
DJ: Can you narrow that down? like 60's 70's 80's 90's?
Person: I dont know. Just play something old?
DJ: Well, lets see I have played bootleg remixes of Zanzibar, Earth Wind and Fire, and others intertwined into my set... and alot of the "new" stuff today are remakes of older songs. So if you arent happy because I have not found the "right" song hidden in your unconscious, then maybe you are unhappy because I am a DJ and not a psychic.

Experience 2:
Before a gig the DJ tells the promoter, planner, or whomever setting up the event that if they have anything special they want me to play for a performer or such, they need to bring it to me BEFORE hand to put it on my computer. After I start you need to bring a walkman or iPOD to connect into my mixer to play via RCA Cable. If they have the songs on MP3 already then a flash drive or external hard drive will work. But I do not bring CD players anymore and ripping while playing will cause issues with the sound.

(Keep in mind this is MOBILE gig on the roof top of a 20 story building that I am doing for FREE as a favor to a friend... otherwise I would be happy to accommodate by buying a CD Walkman. Instead I thought they could do a little planning and work on their end to rip 3 songs to MP3. I mean is there ANYONE these days that do not know how to do that?)

AT THE GIG: They should up 2 hours late (after the gig has started.) They have a white ring around their nose holes and swinging a drink in front of my face... with bad breath to boot. They only have a scratched up CD... and it is a home CD-R not even a commercial grade CD. They are then mad because I am saying this wont work AFTER I explain to them again what they were told to BRING. They also then wanted to know if any of my lights can act as a spot for the performer. They then act disappointed because I tell them they are "smart lights" and just move to the audio, not the motion of the dancers.

They then demand I play it off the DVD/CD ROM on my MacBook Pro because the performer came to perform. They then got mad AGAIN because I said it is possible, but it is not recommended by the makers of the software, I have NEVER tested doing it, etc... they were mad at me then saying I was a liar for saying I could not play via CD. I told them to give me the CD, the order, and move along. They have 5 minutes and then I am done with them. If it messes up, I am not making people listen to it as they point to me for it messing up instead of you. First song was loaded about 1 - 2 minutes in advance... no issues. 2nd song, loaded and hit play and skipped for the first 20 seconds. I gave it another 20 seconds to load... played okay. Had to do the same with the 3rd... and then ejected the CD...

I told them they next time they need to do their homework and not treat the DJ who spent 2 hours setting up, the next 5 hours performing, and will spend another 2 hours packing up.... all for FREE with a little more RESPECT. Also maybe if they hold the partying until AFTER their job is done, they wont need so many people bailing them out at the last minute.

Did a jersey shore themed party a few nights ago. It was good with a mix of electro/trance and hip hop, but then the weirdest thing happened. This pretty little Asian girl comes up and asks if I have "Sexy Vampire." WTF, I'm like ok, but I only have the hardcore remix (like 180 BPM.) I tell her that hardcore really isn't that well accepted in the states and we aren't in Australia, Japan, or the UK. She asks her friend who is paying me if it's ok and she says alright. Well perfect, I'm playing In Da Club at the moment so 90 to 180, not a problem.

HOLY SHIT, never thought people would dance to happy hardcore. Stayed with a hardcore set for 50 minutes till the party ended. SUCCESS! =]

2nd one caught me off gaurd, im playin a lower BPM crunk set, dancefloors packed, a younger black dude with his pants sagged to the floor, gold grill, the whole 9 yards comes up and askes me to play either some blues or swing music. As much as the blues rock it wasnt the time or the place plus it caught me off gaurd comming from him



Off Guard.... Y is that > was he dressed like a gang Banger? or how you think
a young black man looks when he is un intelligent or you just assumed
Because the man was younger and BLACK that he would dance to the
same ignorant SHizz as the rest of society espects him too simply because of his skin

If you show up to a club with no belt and have to constantly walk with your hands grabbing the button on your pants to keep them from falling completley off and the back is lower than your boxer shorts i typically make the assumption your not a road scholor or a prominant busniess man. This goes for white black asian or mexican.

Not because of the color of his skin but rather the way he presented himself (also the age), and i was correct, Ill be posting the video of him jumping around screaming the lyrics to steady mobbin and all the way turnt up. He was more than happy with the music i was playing, he wanted blues because he thought it would help him get this girl he was talkin too. The best part was as soon as I told him no and he went back to the dancefloor the girl he was talkin too ran to the dj table and told me ""PLEASE DONT LISTEN TO HIM DONT START PLAYING BLUES" lol

her: "Can you play some 90's?"
me: "err.... ok"

so I drop Dee-Lite - Groove is in the Heart (1990) acapella over the classic house beats. Look over, and she is not satisfied (no bone). Whatever, I just keep playing. A few songs later I get to Journey - Don't Stop Believin (1981) to fill another request. All of a sudden "90's request girl" is jumping up and down, giving me thumbs up. A whole decade off!

One of the dudes in one of the larger VIP sections comes up to me, never met the guy mind you, and asks, "Hey, I got a question man. I really want to hook up with that chick over there. Where is a good place for us to go get down?"

I look at they guy eyes wide as sky and said "what?" He says "yeah you work here. where can we go hook up, like a corner or a closet or something?"

I kicked the guy out of the booth immediately, like really what if someone came to your job and asked you that shit....

Me: sure.

Then later some other broad comes up to me:

Broad: Can you play some lady gaga?
Me (I could tell the college crowd was getting tired of 80's anyways): Sure.
Broad: Good! wait 15 minutes, and play paparazzi.
Me: You lost me there.

At the end of the night, she asked why I didn't play her song - when I had played it. Fuckin over-entitled chics.

so this guy was talking to me about him being a dj and how he separates himself from other dj's because he uses tape players, cd's,serato and vinyl when mixing. He mixes using 4 decks and then goes on explaining how he eq's to get the bass from this track and high's from the other creating a new song..i then tell him that he must be real good with key's and harmonics..he replies back "uuhh?"
so your telling me you mix 4 tracks randomly with no key patterns,

Would've been all good but a girl I've been seeing was standing 3 feet away...lol. damn the luck!

1. she was drunk
2.likes BEP
3. Grabs your ass (not your ding dong)

Ha I got one for you guys! This past New Years I played a club here in my hometown. In the middle of the night a guy walks by and throws a couple bucks in my coffin and asked Can I get some Boosie, so I was like yeh. Played it a few min later. Then he comes back and does the same thing but asks for Gucci so I played some Gucci, then the idiot comes back with a fist full of money and said I need 2 jeezy, 1 young joc, and 2 boosie. I looked at him and gave his money back n said I'm a dj not a f&@king fast food joint!!! Needless to say he didn't come back
Kool DJ Sheak One 1:27 AM - 21 June, 2010
Boosie = $10

In that situation, I tell them to take this money save up to buy a few thousand dollars of DJ equipment, spend a few hundred a month on their own music, and spend every spare minute trying to land their first gig... and THEN they can play whatever the F they want! Until then, this is MY gig so Id like to be more than your personal jukebox!

Had a pretty good one this weekend

It was some girls BDay and they paid me extra money to get there early (playing by 9 instead of setting up at 9) so I show up and start playing, they dont get there till about 9:45, so their chillin and its about 6 people and the bday girl comes up and goes can you play all i do is win. I tell her that im going to wait for some more people to show up because playing that song for 6 people is kind of a waste. She looks confused and asked if I think more people will show up. I ask her what time it is and she says 10:15. I tell her weve only been open for 15 minutes so ya theres a good chance well see a few more people in the 4 hours and 45 minutes we have before we decide to close up.

Sorry I think this is one of those "one man's DJ Tiesto is another man's DJ Craze" do you think Craze could arrange a symphonic masterpiece into a global 140bpm trance monster? hell no! Anymore than Tiesto would put tape markers on his vinyl and scratch it up ... you are trying to compare two different skill sets that require much more respect than trying to say one is trash and the other is a god. LOL

And for the record, i would be more impressed if Craze did what he did at 140bpm and not 60-80bpm. sh*t can fall apart REAL fast at those speeds! LOL Not to mention I have seen YouTube videos where guys are producing the same sounds using a dual tape deck boom box! Craze just makes it look more elegant! Sorry!

So... how does Tiesto's dick taste? He's a knob-turning douchebag who plays 8-minute songs with 3-minute blends in between, then has time to do the Jesus pose (blasphemy). Have him do ONE of thos scratches that Craze does. Then ask Craze to hold a 4/4 blend for 3 minutes. See which one is trash and which one is multifaceted. Sorry to expose your false god as what he is... a scam.
Joshua Carl 2:40 AM - 22 June, 2010
in the EDM scene the work is mostly done in the studio.
these guys get there reputations and bookings (on the whole) by putting out
original works of dance music.

where as a turntablist work is done on the stage (while they do practice at home)

people dont come to an event like creamfields to be flabberghasted by turntable tricks,
they want to hear the newest creations and the classic anthems written, composed and performed by the men/women group that created em.

just like you wont see a bunch of swiss trance enthusiests crammed around the decks at the 2011 dmcs.

its really apples and oranges.
its like telling a bass guitarist he sucks because he doesent play lead guitar.
DJ_Phenom 3:04 AM - 22 June, 2010
I wouldn't straight up call trash on either of them. But from a DJ standpoint the new generations DJ(Craze, Klever, A-trak, Vice etc.) that can scratch and rock a party is the most multifaceted and talented DJ there is. That's my opinion on it, but to each their own. :-)
DJChad72 3:50 AM - 22 June, 2010
I would not say "new generation" because there are plenty of 18-something that are crazy for Tiesto, Kaskade, Dave Aude, Deadmou5, etc... I know LOTS of party goers that would not know who DJ Craze even is and would probably leave the club instantly if that is what was playing.

Music is art which is subject to interpretation of the listener. And the two artists that are being compared are completely different. I mean DJ Craze can use other people's work to create his music and not even have to know how to read music. On the other hand, he can also spend HOURS practicing each and every minute of his set only to then have to perform it live each and every time. Alternatively Tiesto can spend hours, days, and weeks putting a track together and just hit play. He may also bring along many loops and samples of his own to layer into tracks from other remixers to make it fit more with his sound and style, which means he is doing marathon 4 hour sets while layering endlessly... even if we are not aware of it because he is not constantly juggling sample to sample.

Personally, turntable DJs like DJ Craze remind me of another style that is growing and that is these 1 min retro DJs. If you have not heard it... you will hear like 5 songs in 5 minutes. It is really cool and awesome to see DJs work in such varied styles of music in such a compressed amount of time. However I can deal with it for about 1 hour... and after that I am like "can I just hear a whole entire song please??" LOL It is the same for Turntable DJs... I can only stand it for so long before I am like great they have amazing sense of skill, timing, and dedication to their craft... but after a while dancing to it is like starting and stopping a race over and over again... you get going and 15 seconds later the beat stops and the tempo changes, you get going again, the beat is in and going and it drops to 1/2 time...

Sorry... i can appreciate it... but just cant deal with it. LOL :) Maybe I am a control freak and that is why I am a DJ... I need to know what is going to happen next. :)

Sorry if I was unclear. I didn't mean new generation, as in young people. I meant new generation as in a new type of DJ. That is the cross genre party rocker. Aka the Open Format DJ that has become popular at the highest level of club DJing.

Also, in case you didn't realize, you were looking at a clip of craze in the DMC's in 1999. It has no similarity to what he is doing musically now, aside from the fact that he can scratch. I feel like pigeonholing yourself in one type of music or a set genre can only hold you back. I think a lot of "good" DJs today realize this and have taken the time to learn and appreciate all good music.
DJChad72 4:27 AM - 22 June, 2010
Awe, I understand. Sorry interpreted "generation wrong." Could not agree more, to a point. A DJ can quickly be replaced if they are just going to play a crazy varied collection of tracks... because that is what an iPOD can do. To me staying in business is having your hands on music that no one else is going to have siting on their iPOD, some track that will be on their iPOD, some original works (mashups, bootlegs, full production works, etc..), and knowing the right time to revisit classics.

Some of the best DJs I have ever listened to that kept in in the club all night were those that just knew what to play and when... It could be all house music, but they knew when to put the peaks and valleys. I didnt care if they were on vinyl, CD, MP3, Time Code, Sound Card, Controller, CDJ1000s.... they just knew how to deliver to the audience and it was magic. :)

to be fair you could turn that argument around and ask if Craze sat down in a studio and had to produce an album of original tracks could he produce an album that outsold tiestos\put him as the number 1 artist on a worldwide genre with obne of the largest fansbases in music....prob not

It sux tho that an owner will pay thousands for a Juke Box and everytime a customer wants to hear a Song he will pay at least a couple dollars yet a DJ in the same situation will get ZIP not even a drink and in most cases insulted ...

I think all of us have heard at least 90% of these stupid comments before, and as ridiculous and mundane as we all feel this behavior is by our "customers", the fact is that we will NEVER NEVER NEVER have the respect we want and deserve as DJ's. We have about the same chance of playing to a 100% respectful crowd of drunks, whiteboys, fat chicks, best men, birthday girls and douchebags as we do driving on the road without getting cut off, stopped short, rear-ended, or stuck behind a slow minivan. People who want to dance want to hear THEIR favorite songs (and they know you have it in there somewhere) and they want it now. Patience and alcohol don't go hand in hand either.

So unless you are fortunate enough to work a club or wedding or bar that encloses you in a tinted glass booth on a balcony, you're going to get requests, rude comments, and douche-baggery.
Moral: Take requests (playing them is your choice), be patient, and remember that if you don't want to sign up for that, then DJ as a hobby, at home, for your friends.

A DJ's attitude is just as important as his performance. Your job is to make people have a good time through your talents. Let's give ourselves a good name and we will get the respect we deserve.

Respect is not earned by bowing down and saying, "yes sir" and "yes ma'am." It is not very respectible to say "ill see what I can do" or "sure" if you have no intention of playing the song. Because then the person just goes back and waits for it to be played "any minute now."

Being a DJ to me is about giving the audience something more than their iPOD playlist in shuffle mode. An iPOD set list may be okay for a bar and grille, but not a dance club. If I do not introduce new songs, mashups, along with the familiar, then I have let them down. Not to mention most people's playlists are so eclectic it would soooo not make sense to a dance club.

hahaha i know the exact feeling
i was playing rusko's cockney thug
which features a part in it where it stops and the dude goes 'f*ck'
which naturally my friend had to sing into the microphone
he ended up getting kicked out of the party

Not just customers, but how about other Dj's that come up to you and want to "get in" on a couple mixes to show you what they can do!
"man, you got scratch it like this..."
or
"mind if I show you one thing?..."

Yes I mind! I feel like I'm a kid on my birthday and the other kids want to unwrap my presents for me. This is my time up here! I'm sure you would do a thousand things differently than me right now, but thats why they hired me and not you!
the_black_one 4:44 AM - 26 June, 2010
i got one tonight...... hey can i have your number because i have a friend that wants to learn how to dj and maybe you can show him a thing or two!!!!!


I told him NO.......... NO HOMO

I hate it when straight chicks come wandering up at gay clubs asking when the "appropriate moment" will come to play "YMCA?" as her husband puts palm on head... at which point I look at him, knod his way, raise an eye brow and say, "exactly, NEVER!"

While we are on the subject.... what compells straight chicks to come into gay clubs and f-ing say, are all you going to play is this techno crap? Kid you not, right after the big Emenim/Gay scandle straight chick comes wandering up, drink in hand, swirling over the equipment, and asked to play Emenin. At which point her friend who walked her up to the booth took one look at my face and took her friend by the arm and walked away.

What is more, then they try the hand on chest, rub their boobs up against me, at which point I have to tell her... you are waisting your time... your powers dont work on me. At which point, yet another friend has to haul her away. LOL

So see... i would gladly take "can I have your number" from a girl or a guy over the at least twice a night no common sense requests that normally come from the fish out of water!

"can you play something better?"

they responded with "hmm i don't know"
BITCH! WTH is the matter with people.

i was 4 minutes into my set on the third song

Thats the reason I love using the NS7 at the club. All the other "dj's" won't mess with it because they can't figure out how to use the knobs and buttons or they don't know how to find the songs in my crates.

Speaking of headphones. I mixed at this spot a few weeks ago & I was the only DJ using headphones. Everyone else was looking at me like I was the weird one & one of them even asked me "how come you don't just match up the lines?"...
Them dudes spent most of the night trainwrecking & slamming records all night, it was horrible.
The next day I got a call from the promoter asking me if I wanted to take over the residency, but of course he didn't want to pay me my regular rate.

you mean you won't DJ for half price drinks and pay cover?

Promoters are a unique breed of people...

A few years ago I went to a new years thing with Audio1 and Static... I remember the promoter wanted to charge Audio1's wife to get in... that was a little humorous...
Audio1: That's my wife
Promoter: ok
Audio1: She's with me...
Promoter: so you're paying for her
Audio1: No one is paying for her because she is with me. There is no cover charge for my wife.

finally the promoter got it, but barely in time though, cause i swear that Audio1 was 2 seconds from packing up and leaving.

Dude came up to me @ a gig on Saturday and said ... "man, I know this is gonna CLEAR the floor, but can you please play thriller, I'll pay you!"

This was a 10yr reunion, so clearing the floor wasn't as life-threatening as it is in a club. Plus I could use it as a chance to transition from hip hop to uptempo. I responded by saying "you don't have to pay me bro, I'll play the song for ya, you just have to get out there & dance and ham it up."

He told me "I know the whole routine"

So I decide to throw it on, couldn't hurt... I decided to let the other song play out, and get on the mic & really sell the decision... "by special request ladies & gentleman, we have a special treat..."

I didn't realize I had the full TV track... I get kinda freaked when I look @ the fact that this song is almost 8 minutes long...

But, it was worth it > dude starts in during the intro with a FULL BACKFLIP in the middle of the floor... he then proceeds to bust out the ENTIRE thriller routine with his wife... he got standing ovation and all! Weirdest thing I've ever seen...

My new response to requests will be " Are you prepared to do a backflip?"

DJChad72 1:32 AM - 1 July, 2010
Have you all ever heard the song by 95 North called "For DJs Only?" It is awesome! It is mainly cleverly spoken lyrics with a driving house beat... here are the lyrics the guy recites. I have resorted to playing this once or twice because of certain patrons getting on my nerves.... club owners are not crazy about it but it gets the point across.

-----------------------------------------------
Music in Club is very important,
while you the customer are busy tipping bartenders,
if they even look at you....
you treat the DJ like wallpaper,
except when you decide to start making demands......
the top 3 demands....

demand number 1 ... "are you going to play something good sooooon?"
the dj's replay ... "nah, ill keep playing this horrible shit all night!"

demand number 2 ... "can you plan something with a beat?"
the dj's reply ... "everything has a beat... ASSHOLE!"

demand number 3 ... "can you plan <fill in the bank> because no one's dancing anyway?"
the dj's reply ... "that's all right cuz ill still take the money anyway and no i wont play it because you are a rude fuk!!!"

hopefully these tips will help you when you approach the DJ booth,

banging on the door of the booth wont get your record played,
but if the dj has a mic, it will inspire him or her to yell at you,
to the amusement of the crowd... ASSHOLE! RETARD! Etc...

DJs in a club are not the same as a DJ's at a wedding or a party,
they get paid much more money,
so dont think you have a right to demand to hear a song,
RIGHT NOW... because you say so

Be nice to the DJ, compliment the DJ
give the DJ money and oral sex
and trust me, you'll get whatever you want

we do hope this public service announcement was helpful
and if you dont like it... FUK YOU!

(Boyfriend was a friend of mine, his party)

only about 60 people (capacity level was like 58) but it was a rich freaking pool hall, sick as hell!!!

Almost every girl came up to me asking, "How do I open this bear?" and Where's the restroom, B!TCH!!! Do I look like a butler or a waitor? Do I have a bearbottle opener on my laptop or something? I was like WTF

And a girl comes up like, what you got DAWG? Nigga show me what you guy (She was a prepy looking white girl) so I was like what you want? and she said, uhh something, move out the way. Im like...no??? and she was like then "fuck you" then look..

It drives me NUTS when someone writes a song request on their cell phone and shines it in my face instead of just walking up and asking for a track. What happens to saying hi and asking for a track. For some reason it drives me crazy. I work in the Pacific Northwest and its getting worse and worse.

i had the same thing, i was spinning a 1980 class reunion last night and i was playin some 80s and this guy comes up and goes man you need to play some 70s stuff too. So i mix in thats the way i like it and he turns to me and goes nooooo i meant something FUNKY like some kc and the sunshine band do you have any of that?

That is the thing about playing period specifc parties. That is why I do not accept a request for "genre" only a request for a specific song or artist. People just do not understand what is what when it comes to music. They only know what they like, which is the only thing they can (most of the time) communicate accurately.

LOL these are usually fun though, early last sat a girl came up and asked for some 80s music, i asked her to be more specefic and she goes any of it, i could look at her and tell she wanted some journey or bon jovi so what did i play........B52s love shack.....ya she started being alot more specefic after that
Dj-M.Bezzle 8:34 PM - 12 July, 2010
Just remembered one from this last weekend....let me know how you guys would have handled this one

Im playin and a group of girls walks in and im playing some booty music..baby got back i think...girl comes up and as typical says play something we can dance too....i just pretty much ignore her and play some pitbul...she walks back up and yells..PLAY SOMETHING WE CAN DANCE TOO!!!..so i look at her and tell her its pitbul, its easy to dance to it and point out that plenty of people are dancing...she looks back at me and goes noooo this is music you dance to with boys, play something me and my girls can dance too......so im guessing she wanted more of a "fun" type of track so i dropped that new katy perry and the girl looks at me like im an idiot and storms off...

Not really sure what woulda made that bitch happy...didnt know there were girl only dance tracks, whatever happened to hear a beat move your but..dancing used to be so simple

DJChad72 9:28 PM - 12 July, 2010
I make them commit to a song. They can't be mad at their own idea, and I am not going to alter my set to play a guessing game.

That is my rule with requests. They have to say specifically what they want so I can see if I can work with it... ie I may not play the original album version but a remix. But I work it in according to my rules.

A girl walked up to me Saturday night and asked if I could play R&B instead if house until it gets busy. I told her I don't carry R&B. She was fine and walked away. It's like if you walk into a new job and only speak English, then they ask you to translate Russian for a day. Are you going to run out and pay $2k to learn Russian for that day or turn down the assignment?

It's the same with music.
Dj-M.Bezzle 9:33 PM - 12 July, 2010

Touching DJ equipment = instant death!!

A girl once started throwing out requests and after being told no asked if she could just search my laptop. The bar owner was standing right there and I turned to him and said sounds like you found your new 80's rock night DJ. She said, I'm not a DJ. I said exactly! The owner cracked up hysterically (mostly because she was a friend of his and I set them both straight.) There is always someone that thinks they can do it or know better. I say let em try. If they can't think of 1 song then they will realize they can't do this job. :)

the worst is when some drunk girl is up trying to get you to play her song then you look over and the warning thing is flashing then you have 5 seconds to come up with something good and not replay the last song again... you get looks when that happens...

Exactly, sometimes I feel like I'm sleeping with one eye on the timer! LOL. And even though I am organized with my set options, it still is a challenge.... so many tracks so little time.
Laz219 11:29 PM - 12 July, 2010
Usually if I'm about to run out of time to find a track there's a few I generally always turn to, helps me just be able to get something playing as fast as I can type it into the search.

I always try and make people give me a specific song as well, I hate when people give requests that are so general it could mean absolutely anything. Most of the time they can't actually answer me though. They'll come up and say "oh you need to play some ______" and when I ask "What's a specific song or artist" and they can't come up with anything. I don't really see if you're so committed to having something played to go and ask the DJ but not be able to actually think of a track.

I guess that is better than the "can you play......ummmm, oh, I don't know. What do you think?" requests. If you're going to ask me what I think I should play, I could've done that without you asking me.

another fun one is when someone comes up at a night time pool party or peak hour of a dance club and says, "hey do you have a microphone you can get on and wish ______ a happy birthday."

WTF? You think this is Applebee's? I mean who does that anymore? I can understand if you are at a Karaoke bar or a hosted radio show style club (like America's Pub) where it is tongue and cheek all night long.... but when you are at a club where a bottle of vodka costs more than your car payment, rule of thumb NEVER talk to the DJ and the DJ will never talk to you! LOL

"happy, happy, birthday from all of us to you, here' is your free desert, from all of us to you.... "
DVDjHardy 7:31 AM - 25 July, 2010
@chad72 - I work with an MC whose job is basically to keep the club hype and handle birthday shout outs and what not. While I could personally live without it, I can't deny the fact that it keeps people happy and they love him. I wouldn't do that much talking on the mic if he wasn't working, but most people just want a reason to scream when they're at the club.

The only real downside is that if he talks while I'm mixing two songs, the monitors dip out the music volume to make room for the guy screaming on the mic...potential trainwreck.
djtoast 12:44 PM - 25 July, 2010
What kind of mixer is it? If there's a record output you could use for the monitors instead of the booth output, they often omit the mic signal...
DJChad72 2:48 PM - 25 July, 2010
Ya I think its good someone is walking around and seeing home many different parties are at the club. That way it is a bit more fair to all. He can at least time it. If you do the one at a timers all night long, it can really wreck the mood.... esp people who come to hear muaic. LOL

No doubt it works for some but its a flood once you open it up. That is where the marquee signs come in handy.

Here's a pic of our booth from a couple of years ago: a486.ac-images.myspacecdn.com

We have 2 mixers - Rane MP2016+XP2016 w/ 2 1210 MKIIs and a Pioneer DJM 800 w/ 2 DVJ-X1s. Sometimes I take that out and use my 57. But I believe the reason the sound cuts out is due to the limiter that have put in on the monitors. One of the other residents at this club apparently turns up the booth monitors all the way and a lot of people complain about it.
djbigboy 3:29 PM - 25 July, 2010
I am reposting this from my facebook:

So this guy asks me to play Sean Kingston "Fire Burning". I know all the dj's are like OH GAWD. But it's a small place, I do requests, I was like ok, gimme a few minutes (I wasn't in the right bpm). So like a half hour passes (maybe longer) and I have been getting a ton of requests. Same dude walks up, "Hey are you gonna play my song". "I totally forgot, gimme a few mins". "That's not good enough!". Me WTF. "We're leaving". I was like "Ok have a good night". MFer goes to the bar, talks to the bar manager and asks to get the owner's cell phone number. Apparently it was his anniversary. He said I was rude, didn't play his request, and he said I was rude to his girl. I am not even sure who she was but I suspect she was the dumbass that said "Hey can you stop playing 80s & 90s?". I said "No, look behind you, people are dancing and having a good time, but I go back and forth". Homeboy was pissed.

So he EMAILS ME this:

"Just a reminder, that the customers at the places you DJ at are your customers too. When someone asks you to play a song and you forget about it for an hour, then they come back and explain ...that it's their anniversary, "In awhile" is not the appropriate answer. We left last night specifically because of you. Thanks alot, I'll be sure to pass the word."

I wanted to email him back and tell him off but I didn't. Some people just think they are the center of the universe. This place I was at is not an upperscale place, it's a bar. And far from the greatest, not a place i would take my girl to on my anniversary. They were young too, which cracks me up too...step yo game up!

What else do you think he did? He posted a yelp review, gave the place 4 stars but said I needed to be fired. Bored? Have a yelp account? Flag the post ! Haha, I am cool with it. The owners love me there...

Fire Burning?
His girl must have gonorrhea.
Joshua Carl 6:04 PM - 25 July, 2010
well, while fire burning isnt the WORST request in the world.

your going to encounter situations like this more & more these days with the whole
"im so important" attitude we've seen pop up more often than say 5-10 years ago.

Ive had a few where the people apprach the mgr and say, wahhh josh wont play my request... then the mgr comes up and asks...
and usually, my retort is "do you know what song they asked for???"

because if its a reasonable request, Ill play it...eventually.
if its not, Ill tell them straight out, I cannot play it.
but sometime you get these off the wall requests that are inside jokes for 2 people.
and would KILL your floor. (not in the good way)

management supprt is a great thing, but more often than not, you DONT have it.
they point you need to convey to mgmt is the money of the many out way the money of the few (I think Jesus said that)
so, while you might have avoided 2-6 grumpy people, you have hundreds or thousands that are happy.

I once had some dude request THE SONG I WAS PLAYING! He tried to back pedal somehow and cover for himself. I said "Dude, you just requested a song while it was on. Come on. That's dumb." He got all sheepish and said, "Yeah, that's dumb" and walked off. Another time some hippy girl asked me if I had any dancehall while a Beenie Man song was playing. I got really confused and said, "If this isn't dancehall then I'm not sure what you're requesting." She was like, "Oh I mean, any other dancehall that you can also play..."
djbigboy 6:59 PM - 25 July, 2010
Hahah, yeah, FIRE BURNIN...for their anniversary...c'mon MANNNN....he got so pissed and I really had such little interaction with him...

I know the request wasn't the worst in the world, I was going to be accomodating to it, but you know, when you got a bunch of stuff going on and you're not in the same bpm, I straight up forgot. If I had seen some tip money, I probably wouldn't have...but really, I am gonna make your night based on playing Sean Kingston. I feel sorry for him...
DJChad72 8:15 PM - 25 July, 2010
Related Story #1) I have had DJs come in trying to down me to the staff and owner. Once they realized he was a DJ too and they asked "where at?" and he said "here and there", they realized what he was trying to do. JERK! Once it was a DJ who used to DJ at the club when it was known as something else and was a hip hop bar. Now it is a gay/swingers bar and hip hop is the last thing those people want. He kept violating my space, and he smelled like urine wrapped in 5 day old gym clothes.

Realted Story #2) It was 11pm or so. The bar I was DJing at is known to be the stop in and gather place. The place people meet up before going out. The best way for a DJ to blend in is to be the back drop for the mood. People are mostly there to get loose and chat up their friends. Now, this man and woman comes in with eye balls like marbles telling me I suck. They proceed to tell me that no one is dancing so I must not be a very good DJ. They wanted me to get everyone on the dance floor... which is funny because the "dance floor" has storage boxes and decorations on the stage, 1 vertigo light, and has tables and booth's flanking it... I told them people are just sipping and enjoying their drinks. They just want to listen and talk. They kept on me for 10 minutes and I was irritated. I said no offense, but in 5 minutes you have insulted me and everyone else here at this bar ... it sounds like you are looking for a large dance club and nothing you can do or say is going to turn this place and its patrons into that. I can give you a few recommendations if you like. They were there another 10 minutes and tried bothering everyone else. They must have said something to the owner, as he asked me about it when we closed. I quickly turned it around on him and asked if what he was shooting for a crowd of people rolling their tits off with glow necklaces? Because if that is the case, he needs to invest about $5k in a sound system and lights to back it up. He quickly got in check.

New Story #3 I was doing a clubby gig last Friday. More of a Global house venue and audience w/ top 40 remix sprinkled in. Only 2 requests the entire night came from the same guy. First was Whitney - Milliion Dollar Bill. I played it, he didnt say thank you he asked for "Bad Romance" - Probably 2 of the most over played songs in 1H of 2010. I could not help myself from thinking, this guy does not get out at all if the two hottest tracks he can think of are like 5 months old now! I know that is wrong, but it is my pet peeve when do someone's request, even thought you think it is over played... and they turn around WHILE its playing and make demand #2.

Maybe I am just getting too old for this shit... LOL

I had a guy ask if I could play 'it's an every day thing' by G-mo. (early 90s rap song... Kinda sucks) and I just stared at him with my eyes crossed and he just walked away. I played it about 10 mins later, and he ran up and gave me 10$. I was all like "no way in hell did I ever think I'd play this track, and +10$. Pure win."

good thing people don't really dance before midnight at my place, cause that would have cleared the floor.

I am reposting this from my facebook:

So this guy asks me to play Sean Kingston "Fire Burning". I know all the dj's are like OH GAWD. But it's a small place, I do requests, I was like ok, gimme a few minutes (I wasn't in the right bpm). So like a half hour passes (maybe longer) and I have been getting a ton of requests. Same dude walks up, "Hey are you gonna play my song". "I totally forgot, gimme a few mins". "That's not good enough!". Me WTF. "We're leaving". I was like "Ok have a good night". MFer goes to the bar, talks to the bar manager and asks to get the owner's cell phone number. Apparently it was his anniversary. He said I was rude, didn't play his request, and he said I was rude to his girl. I am not even sure who she was but I suspect she was the dumbass that said "Hey can you stop playing 80s & 90s?". I said "No, look behind you, people are dancing and having a good time, but I go back and forth". Homeboy was pissed.

So he EMAILS ME this:

"Just a reminder, that the customers at the places you DJ at are your customers too. When someone asks you to play a song and you forget about it for an hour, then they come back and explain ...that it's their anniversary, "In awhile" is not the appropriate answer. We left last night specifically because of you. Thanks alot, I'll be sure to pass the word."

I wanted to email him back and tell him off but I didn't. Some people just think they are the center of the universe. This place I was at is not an upperscale place, it's a bar. And far from the greatest, not a place i would take my girl to on my anniversary. They were young too, which cracks me up too...step yo game up!

What else do you think he did? He posted a yelp review, gave the place 4 stars but said I needed to be fired. Bored? Have a yelp account? Flag the post ! Haha, I am cool with it. The owners love me there...

www.yelp.com


Do you pay me? then STFU... Do you know me? then FU...

I'd sure like to e-mail that dude, some people just piss me off... This year I've been more open to call people out at any given time... as i was pulling up a pump at a gas station a dude decided to try to squeeze his car between my car and the one to the side of me, and then cut right in front of me. I noticed just in time to slam the breaks and stop an inch from him... I had like 5 cars in back of me, so i have no clue who douche bag thought he was to cut in front of all of us and pull a move like that. So i had plenty of words to share when he got out of his car...

man... you cant make this stuff up.

this past weekend, one of our cheeky bartenders, who knows Ill milk one
Corona all night sends me a bucket of 4 on ice.

Gave on to the radio personality, one to a friend, drank one.
and their the 3rd one sat for about 2 hours.

at this point a noticed a little vixen not to far from the booth.
kept looking over with her friends ect ect.
finally she makes her way over, wearing probably the hottest tits to tail yellow 1-piece dress.
we all know what these prositi-tots do, fawn all over you thinking you'll fold like
every other bone-head will and do what they want.
she had all your typical questions...
can I try, how do you scratch, so whats next..
all the while standing almost between my legs.
as i made Idle banter, and entertained as much as I could I noticed her, while her
pointing at my computer, STEAL MY LAST BEER!

I was gonna let it go... but FUCK THAT.
i just HAD to know why a girl THIS hot was trying to lift a 4.00 Corona.
she got so embarrassed, and i saw her friends BOLT.
she went and plopped on the couch (yes, my booth has a couch)
then came back explaining, Im a medical student, I have like no money ect ect.

i of course told her she can have it... but next time she'll have to flash me
or worse... she giggles and shook her ass as she trotted away with my beer.

and THAT was the worst part of my night.
I love my job.

no manners + stealing = loss of hotness

I know it is embarrassing to ask for a hand out, but it is more embarrassing to be caught stealing

What I love about using Laptop now vs CD's is no one can sneak up and grab a CD out of one of my books... I once had someone try to run off with a 200 count book with all my Promo Only Mainstream Club CDs. They tried to tell me they just wanted to look through for a song to request. I told them this is not a library and that is a $4k book. It requires a credit card and not a library card. :)

BTW, bravo for the Serato family backing one of its own on the Yelp review! Cheers!

Med students and Hott Nurses are the easiest...


I was playing at my regular spot around easter. I arrived around 21:30 to hook up my gear as always do. Walking in to find 5-6 med students and nurses preparing t place for an eastern party. I had no idea the the local Med school in my city had rentet the place for the night, but ok, hot nurses, more people, more fun.

Two of the girls came over while i was setting up the gear, and ask me if they could hide a tiny easter egg somewhere in the booth. They were having a competition, eggs = Free drinks. I had no problem with that as long as it wasnt near the gear. She suggested hiding it somewhere on my body, and i wasn't hard to ask. lol. So she taped the little egg on the inside of my overarm so it was covered by my t-shirt. Fuck, that was a great night. I had 7-8 girls approaching to find the egg.

"Do you have an egg in your pockets?"
Me: "Maybe"
"Can i look?"
Me: "Sure thing"
...
Me: "No honey, that aint the egg.." lol
Some of the girls were fucking nasty, wich off course wasn't a problem for me ;) You can imagine my disappointment i had when they finally found it.

Fucking great night. I gave them my card and they promised ill be the DJ of choice next easternparty. 9 months to go.

Gritty Breaks 4:31 PM - 30 July, 2010
To avoid dumb requests for songs that play on every radio station 50 times a day. I had a T-shirt made that simply says "NO REQUESTS". Just as soon as they start walking up to me I just point to my shirt. This helps keep me from getting side tracked and aggravated.

I now officially release this idea to all DJs.

The next day I got a call from the promoter asking me if I wanted to take over the residency, but of course he didn't want to pay me my regular rate.


you mean you won't DJ for half price drinks and pay cover?

Promoters are a unique breed of people...

A few years ago I went to a new years thing with Audio1 and Static... I remember the promoter wanted to charge Audio1's wife to get in... that was a little humorous...
Audio1: That's my wife
Promoter: ok
Audio1: She's with me...
Promoter: so you're paying for her
Audio1: No one is paying for her because she is with me. There is no cover charge for my wife.

finally the promoter got it, but barely in time though, cause i swear that Audio1 was 2 seconds from packing up and leaving.

i got a request from the club owner this past saturday night. He ask me to play Gnarles Barkley - Crazy and insisted that i play it next every time he comes to the booth.

owner: play it now every body will go crazy for that song
me: yea they will and leave.

I don't know if that song is a hit where serato fam djs play but i never heard that song play any where in the years i been djing and that song came out. If there are any club owners here don't think its easy to punk the dj especially when he is one of the few djs that keep the ppl in the club all night even if its a slow night and it wasn't a slow night the club was over capacity that night.

its our job to figure out if we have that crowd.
Ive seen tubthumping cause damn near a riot...and this wasnt ur typical
cheesy crowd...took a gamble and it worked.

chances are this guy saw someone play it, or heard about someone playing it.
and figured it was a sure-fire win.

cheesy crowd...took a gamble and it worked.

chances are this guy saw someone play it, or heard about someone playing it.
and figured it was a sure-fire win.
good job being a rock.


If it was a few months back maybe that song might of made it but lately the crowd been getting real gully (hypish hip hop and dancehall vibes) It just wasnt the vibe for that song.

I have heard a dj play Ghost Town djs - my boo and cleared the dance floor because it was just not the right time. When he played it, I had forgot about that song but I love the song intro so I played it some time down the line and the crowd went crazy for it. What im trying to say is as the dj you just gotta know when to play the right song

some how that dose not add up...

Not knowing about it / the label being the one that signed off on the song
does not equal

He's probably just trying to save face....IMO


Actually I like seeing classic hip hop gets its just due in the world and marketing is the first major arena for that from a world wide view...
djbigboy 3:13 PM - 4 August, 2010
In regards to the commercial, if it that commercial can reach one kid who's never heard "real" hip hop and he goes out and looks for more, then the commercial is worth it. I like the commercial a lot, I do videos, so you know I will be playing the hamster version soon.

Gnarls Barkley was a huge hit where I play, but it is one of those songs that doesn't work for every crowd for sure....it's a great "once a month" recurrent when playing tracks in the 110-115 bpm range.

I think this one is a winner here... This happened last night

So I dj at this spot who occasionally books bands. I will go on and play during intermissions etc.. Anyways the band is playing, and I'm practicing some cuts in my headphones,

Guy walks up and is like "what song are you playing right now? (the music is clearly coming from the band on stage)

I'm speechless?!?! All I can say Is "sir the music is coming from the band" and point at the stage

Then I look at some other patrons around the booth, shrugged my shoulders and we all bust out laughing!

Incredible

last nights stories:

story one:
Drunk black girl: can you play black eyed peas (insert slurred title here)?
Me: what song?
Her: you played it earlier.
Me: I've not played a single black eyed peas song all night.
Her: no you did, I heard you.
Me: maybe you heard it on satellite radio before I started.
Her: no, it was you who played it.
Me: ok guess you would know better than the DJ. I'll go search for it.

Story two:

Model agency arrived 2hrs late. Genre of the evening is house music. Model guy comes up and says, "can you play something better than this? We need to tear this night up!
"

So I say like what? I was playing a drums only track while they did announcements. He says, soldier boy. I said its house only buddy, sorry. Gave me this look and before he could say anything i said, "next time arrive on time and we can discuss before I am 2 hours Iinto my set."

Seriously, these models do not even have to dance. Just walk around and chat with people and get them to buy $1 charity raffle tickets! First they can't arrive on time and second why wreck my set. Not only is it not the genre for the night, it is almost 2years old!

Respect is not earned by bowing down and saying, "yes sir" and "yes ma'am." It is not very respectible to say "ill see what I can do" or "sure" if you have no intention of playing the song. Because then the person just goes back and waits for it to be played "any minute now."

Being a DJ to me is about giving the audience something more than their iPOD playlist in shuffle mode. An iPOD set list may be okay for a bar and grille, but not a dance club. If I do not introduce new songs, mashups, along with the familiar, then I have let them down. Not to mention most people's playlists are so eclectic it would soooo not make sense to a dance club.

DJChad72 9:09 PM - 19 August, 2010
Ya isnt that the kick in the sack? They want a floor all night but want liquor sales. I have had many frank conversations with the bartender and managers. I play some songs that I do because people will choose to have a drink and bio break. The crowd on x will love it (because its normally progressive beats/dubs) and keep the floor alive... but it is necessary to keep the flow with the rest of the bar. So don't judge what I am playing by the size of the floor. If you want it full all night, then you can plan on fewer bartenders.

Playing a deep house/techno kind of night

'Got any Kings Of Leon?'

'Erm... No, it's not really that kind of night'

Him and his 3 mates literally took turns to come request Kings Of Leon every 2 minutes for about a quarter of an hour until I snapped and told them to do one.

Which didn't deter them at all.

Had to ask security to have a word in the end.
DJChad72 7:32 PM - 22 August, 2010
There are some great mixes of King of Leon that fits most house sets.

Use Somebody (Christian Luke Reboot Mix)
Sex on Fire (Richard & Sharkey Sar Remix)
Sex on Fire (Tenzin Remix)

Use Somebody has been redone already by Kalus and remixed a few times as well with house mixes.

I have heard a remix once on XM Radio and a bartender I knew used to ask if I found any remixes.. so I started to keep my eyes open with my online record pool services. And wouldnt you know it... bingo! :)

I think we need like an iPOD listening booth, like they have at record stores with headphones tethered to the wall. Just send em over, let them get their fix that way.

I was playing some awesome house/electro in a Chicago Club everyone is dancing having an awesome time, when some girl comes up to the dj booth and says to me "Are you going to play techno shit all night? I really hate techno please play some RAP or Hip Hop." I responded....I's called house music not techno and everyone here loves it. This is a House Club, the hip hop club is down the street. She says...But all my friends are here and i am from out of town...this is all they play in Chicago is this techno shit! ..ME: "Duh! You are in Chicago the birth place of house music". Then she said "did i insult you!"

please I will not go to a hip hop club in Atlanta and ask the Hip Hop Dj for some Derick Carter in the middle of a Luda Song.......

House, Electro, Progressive, Eruo, its all techno to these bitches

i play hip hop too but when your hired to play an certain genre it sux when you get stupid request like that.

I developed a history of hating people who come up to me stumbleling into the DJ Booth past drunk or half drunk (yet thourghly enjoying themseves) requesting a song singing it in a completly off key off beat and unrecognizable.

Don't misunderstand me but when I am in the middle of doing a live mix and the crowd is off the chain wild (it seems like I just become a magnet for these types)

Not only is this a little confuzing but seriously annoying at times.

It gets better (LOL) they normally present you with the blinding bright lighted screen of there cell phone (half in your ear and half on your face) as they play the song they are talking about (or at least the one they thought they selected on their phone), which you cant hear beacuse the sound in the club is far louder, so as you strain your ear to hear the cell phone you realize that they have turned the volume so high it sounds distorted <---- Keep in mind you have headphones half on but they chose the ear which is covered by the headphone LMAO. ;)

The one memorable moment when I tried not laugh at someone comment is when a girl came up to me and I thought she was going to make a request but instead she says to me "this party is f_cking bad a_s" then immediately says "Your lasers keep hitting me on the head and I don't want my hair to catch fire....I have seen how they cut and light things up on youtube" So I told her 'Oh Yes, Becarefull we had a guy whos are had gotten severed earlier, so try to dodge them' (I thought she was kidding but she started freaking out and shortly left)

Wow and I thought the majority of the clubs use multipattern lasers these days LOL
I guess she must not get out much.

Keep in mind I am not Hebrew nor speak it (Before all the questions arise) I am a transplanted Perto Rican from New Jersey who has resided in Texas and Miami the majority of the time. English, Spanish and Spinglish are what I know how to speak and read for all the rest I dont know Google does wonders.

i get that sometimes people, especially when drunk, say things that sound stupid to us because we're around this shit all the time, but try to maintain some perspective. i try to remember that the only thing that makes me different the masses are that i get to pick the music. i'm not superior to them. i just play a different part in the party. if they didn't come and make un-hip requests, i wouldn't be paid to do something i love. so i cut them a little slack.
DJ Shady Lady 9:29 PM - 25 August, 2010
oooh!! i forgot my party story. so on saturday like everyone myself included got totally buzzed.....the guy that hires me is like "let my friend get on the decks for like a min".

normally i wouldnt but the entire party was like sooooooo boring and i was hungry so im like sure. i dont know what its called (i know i suck), but you know when you stagger the snares on a song and go back and forth? this fool like tried to do that but wasnt on beat, and also continued to do it thru the song, which was ironically "let's get it started".

"le - le - ts - ts - ge - ge -t -t it -it "etc LMAO

the dude who hired me was like "um please get back up there". this kid was trainwrecking like a mofo. i mean at least be able to like MIX or something lol

I love it when people walk up requesting songs you already planning on played, they think its like gods personal gift to them that their song is already in line to get played...Maybe they are someone sort of mind-readers...Been gettin all kinds of crazy requests lately but i tend to be too busy mixing to actually remember them...

I do that too, I play songs that are popular but will almost bore them to death, then when the dance music starts, I set it off with a really good Merengue or a fast Salsa like Cuero Na' Ma. I do mostly Latin weddings. They go Krazy, like Pitbull.

I told him i had no idea, he then starts looking at my screen and asks what i have as if it were a menu. Im like ohhhhh great here we go. He starts brainstorming and thinking and i told him if he wanted to he was more than welcome to go think about what he wanted to hear and come back, there wouldnt be a line or anything LOL. Then RIIIIGHT as he was about to name a song i dropped what i was gonna play next (baby got back) and all the girls in the crowd start cheering and goin nuts. Dude just smiles and looks at me and goes ...ok i think you got a handle on this ill just let you do your thing.

I was DJing in a tea bar (like a coffee shop, only with tea), my job was mainly to provide background music for people while they play on their laptops and sip bubble tea; there's no dancefloor. So I play mostly chillout stuff and some progressive house.

Anyway, some chick comes up to me, smiling like a doofus. I'm expecting her to request something, and she does. Only she doesn't say it; she gives me a folded-up piece of paper that was ripped off of a newspaper. When I'm done mixing, I pick it up, unfold it, and it says, "CAN U PLZZZ PLAY SOME POSTAL SERVICE :)" I didn't have any, and I couldn't see where she went to sit down, so I just ignored it and kept on mixing.

About an hour later, same chick comes up with another folded piece of newspaper. It reads, "THANKS A LOT :( " And she walks out, not having actually said one word to me. I just shrugged and said to myself, "that was weird."

Flipped thru my records, and found a single by Dntel with Ben Gibbard, which is basically Postal Service before they became Postal Service, did a V-8 smack on the forehead, and chuckled.

Play some more Sean Paul, Tanto Metro & Devonte, and Lady Saw...Sorority girls are VERY selective when it comes to reggae. It would be wicked if you could drop some Busy Signal, Black Rhyno, and follow it up with some Kartel and Vado. But thats for another club I guess...

ya know its like anything in your top40 rooms I suppose.
I have a reggae ish power set, which im sure is the same as everyone elses that works
like gang busters...but as soon as i stray off the path just a little its like Im playing
some back alley roots shit.

the best example of "fair-weather" reggae fans is when I drop ChiChi man (TOK)
the first few bars, everyone stands around and looks lost...then the drop.
and people loose their damn minds...

I guess that goes for all music, people like the recognizable stuff that we are all playing.
it took me forever to get Taxi fare to fly...and so many others.
while its "our job" to play for the crowd (more often than not) could you imagine
if someone came up and asked for "some hiphop" and you literally had about 25 songs you could play before the people stopped knowing the tracks?
yet... "PLAY SOME REGGAE" is something i hear weekly.

UGH I could write a book on the reggea crowd that comes to TOP40 nights. I cant understand it. They will only move to reggae, they will stare at you until you play reggea, and they will harass you until play it. Its the worst.

But anyways Josh's story reminded me of a "Most Ridiculous" request. I was making my debut at Boston's "Rock Bar" a couple weeks ago. They dont play all rock but you play more than usual, as well as top40 and house... NO HIP HOP/REGGAE (words from Owners mouth, to promoters mouth, to my ears). Im playing my set, and its getting towards the end of the night and im playing sweat gunz by pasha and low and behold what did some dude come up and request???? Hold Yuh by Gyptian.
MusicDan 6:11 PM - 31 August, 2010
Has anyone hear ever made a stupid request to another DJ?

I don't think it was stupid cause the guy played it almost immediately, but I made a drunken request once.

At a rock bar, the kid was playing house remixed rock songs, no dancing. In one of his remixes the song Animal by Nine Inch Nails was sampled in. So, drunk as I was, I immediately went up to this kid, 20 years old maybe, and asked if he could play the whole song. The kid was more than happy to play it and turned it into a nice Segway to something slower. Like I said there was no dancing.

I helped a young kid out. Had I been sober I most likely would not have asked him for anything.
slimmjimm 6:29 PM - 31 August, 2010
I'll admit to making a random drunk request now and again. Truth be told, they may even be as bad as patrons sometimes, without all of the we're leaving, something we can dance to, it's my birthday, 25 times a night mumbo jumbo.

Ive been getting reggae requests for about 3 months now. If i get a request at all 80% chance its reggae. Nothing specific... just play reggae! Better yet just play the hooks of the same (and only) 30 reaage songs I know.

It's funny, and I don't play that much reggae at mobile gigs, but when I do, it's allot of the songs on that list. I always thought that maybe I needed more reggae, and I have allot, but only those get played, lol! I'm not alone!!!
OB One 7:33 PM - 31 August, 2010
YES! I was just commenting that since I started DJing about 4 years ago that my reggae set has not progressed. Then when I watched JD's thing I was like "Wow he plays ALL of the same things I do."

Their really arnt any options popping up regularly, more like once a year you can add a "No Games" or a "Hold Yuh" (hate that song) to your set.

*disclaimer: I dont want any reggea guys getting pissed at my comments. Im speaking strictly from the perspective of a Top40/Bottle Service club DJ
Joshua Carl 7:44 PM - 31 August, 2010
yes, Boston certainly does have an amazing proper reggae scene.

I used to shop @ Vibes all through the 90s and early y2k whenever
Biscuithead didnt have that crossover reggae bomb...
and admitidly, in retrospect I probably was just as bad as those girls (to Junior and the
Vibes crew...)
"oh, here comes another white club dj looking for doubles of Capleton"

but this is the top40/hipPop crowd

So i was at one of my local nightclubs in my hometown, a DJ i have heard a couple times was doing pretty good job. Stod in the bar, and the DJ walks to one of the bartenders to get a beer. I thought i just say hi, and tell him to keep up the good work and how i specally liked one clever transition. Some how, i`ve noticed that he was jusing CDjs and not Turntables and serato as before.

Me: (Just to start conversation) "So, what have you done to your turntables?"
Him: "Are you saying i cant use CDjs?"
Me: "Ehmm, not at all?"
Him: "So fuck of then"
Me: .....
Hi just walked off. Someone was having a bad day. I do not mind one being rude to a certain point if customers are giving you a hard time with bad requests or disturbing you doing your job. But when people are nice to me, or trying to do conversation giving me feedback while im playing, i always make a point of being polite and humble. This is how you make fans, and the same people will come back later to see you. Not like this guy, wich imo now is an stuck up asshole.

Clearly he's been having his balls busted about using CDJs, and finally snapped... Not saying that using CDJs are bad, but I've seen that type of dj before.

This one happened during my college days.

DJing at a restaurant near campus during a "college night" in the upstairs of a restaurant/club. I guess they had speakers downstairs too. So, I'm doing my thing, and some older-than-college age guy comes up to me, "Say, do you think you could turn the music down, downstairs? I mean, it's really fucking ridiculous."

I said, "sure thing, you got it." He walks away, and I don't touch the volume knob, at all. About 15 minutes later, he comes back, and I can practically see the steam coming out of his ears.

"I thought I told you to turn the fucking music down!"
"Don't get so upset," I replied. "You DID tell me to turn the music down. I just ignored you, that's all."
I went back to mixing. He walked away, and presumably, out of the restaurant.

Hey, I think I was one of those. This was a while ago - Dancing In The Streets in San Jose. I did an old school rap set - everyone else spun the same 20 hot-songs-of-the-moment. You came up and said something like, "Good job. Nice that you did something different from everyone else." Never forgot that. Thanks man.
Caliber 10:41 PM - 31 August, 2010
there are way more reggae songs that even the top 40 crowd may know. There are also a lot of newer songs that was not on the list that I got request from a top 40 crowd. Being a dj that plays dancehall/reggae there are countless songs that come out every day. Sometimes I think there are more than hip hop/rap but like every genre there is a lot of garbage you have to weed out

TWICE last night people asked for the song that was already playing, and then argued with me when i pointed out it was already on for half a minute before saying "oh yeah, so it is!" and running onto the dancefloor. by which time the track was practically over.

it's happened to me before, but twice in one night is just worrying.

i'm gonna start going to restaurants, and ten minutes after they bring out my main course, i'm gonna yell at the waiter "where the hell is my food, i've been waiting ages" lol

Ingo B - no problem. Yeah, I have maybe said that to 10 djs in my life that I didn't really know well and thought they were doing their thing....i miss those Dancing In The Street...you know I saw Joel down in Sunnyvale not too long ago...

A few years ago (I don't see as much lately) it felt like if a club/venue/event had more then 2 djs, every dj was playing the same track, the exact same way. As a dj, I think you have to appreciate a dj that brings their own style and adds a few of their own flavor tracks into the mix...

On the other side of things, I have never gone out of my way to tell a dj he sucks...sometimes it could be just a dj having a rough day...

Last night i hade this dude come up to me.

D: "So, i see you are using a computer"
Me: "Yeah"
D: "Too bad, its cheating. CDs are the shit"

At that point i was like, great, here we go. He told me that he himself was a traveling DJ and have played in all big citys in my country, except my town offcourse. I tried to explain Serato, and how i used vinyl controll-records, but he dident have a clue. How can you be a "big time" DJ in 2010 and dont know about serato?

So the story gets better. He tells me that him and a friend of him was supposed to warm up for Tiesto later this month, and that hi was interested in my style, and wanted to considere to take me with him. It all depended in how good i played the nest 30 mins. At this point i was kind of drunk, so in first i was like holy shit, this is big. But more like 30 sec later i realised that his knowledge of my equipment was so poor that i had to be messing with me. So i started asking what gear he had.

"What do you play on?"
D: "CDs"
"What gear do you have?"
D: "CD players"
"Yeah..... So like what kind of cd players?"
D: "I dont know. I think its like pioneer or something, i havent bought my own yet"
"So your are warming up for tiesto next month, and you dont own any gear?"
D: "yeah.. Btw, can you play this ("insert random pop") song?

Whats a matter with these people. Do they actually think we will believe this shit?
Laz219 11:53 AM - 5 September, 2010
I've had a ton of people try and drop the pioneer CDJ-1000 name like it will impress me that they 'regularly use' them. When it's industry standard gear, I don't understand why I'm supposed to care. If they used something interesting like the technics players, I'd be interested to know why they chose them at least.

You could actually just use an Lpf and reverb combo on whatever track and eliminate most of the thumping from tune while adding some nice ambience to the vocal ...

Just sharing a "maybe" useful smidge
Kool DJ Sheak One 5:10 PM - 7 September, 2010
a lpf would let all the low frequencies pass, and would only allow "the thumping" of any track Benny.

Not sure what reverb would accomplish in with that setting, roomy bass?

I think you are thinking about an hpf. A High Pass Filter. To let only high frequencies pass.

And there are a shitload of sinatra tracks with no drums. much easier and no wrong eqing to do.
djtoast 11:23 PM - 7 September, 2010
it always confuses me when people like something enough to ask for it, but not enough to know what it's called... on sunday i got asked for "coming out of my cage" - actually took me a minute to realise that wasn't the title, and that they were asking for the killers. but week in week out i get asked for variations on "Superstition" - usually "Superstitious" (well that's pretty close I guess...) but all sorts of other things based on lyrics from the chorus or whatever.

when i mentioned that NOBODY seems to get that one right my pal said he got asked for "Fairly Superstious". Somehow I don't think THAT song would have been such a success:

Fairly superstitious / Writing's not on the wall YET but you never know /
Fairly superstitious / Ladder's at an angle that looks a bit precarious but should be okay for now...

dont you love that??? I helped a friend do his company's christmas party a few years back. He basically borrowed my equipment and I went along as his "tech." His VP and friends were basically standing 10 ft from the speakers off to the side, and asked for the music to be turned down because they could not talk. Meanwhile all the employees were wanting to dance and have a good time. So they wanted it UP. The VP came over a little later and yelled at me (yes me, as I happened to be holding down the fort while the real DJ had a bathroom break.) He said he was not going to ask for it to be turned down again. Given he was my friend's boss, I just smiled as I turned it down slowly looking at him to tell me when it was "down enough."

So 2 hours later, he finally left... and the employees darted for the dance floor and said "TURN IT UP!"

It just goes to show there are always party blockers in the crowd. :)

I get mixed up but Yeah you want your filter to cutoff the low end and a Reverb thickens up the rest and cuts down on the sharpness left behind when eliminating the low end with a filter

Of course setting a reverb too High will give you a sh*tty stadium effect so I would
only do stuff like this if I was in a bind like the one I quoted B4 ;)

Much easier to play a sinatra Tune that doesn't have drums tho ...

I was doing a tailgate party in Austin and I went for about an hr and then then a band came on. As I'm about to start the next set, a group from behind me (away from the speakers) came up and asked if I can turn my music down? I was dumbfounded because my music was about a 4 compared to the bands 8. The guy said, "could you please turn it down a 'scootch' because we have kids over here". I just couldn't follow the logic...

what people have done to have their requests played:

- tried to give me money (won't take it)
- ordered me to do it right away
- told me they'd punch me in the face
- claimed to be related to/engaged with the owner
- claimed to work there and to have me fired
- bought me drinks (I never drink anything some stranger brings me)

Now I always have a notepad with me where ppl can write down their requests. But alas, this ain't fool-proof either. Just a collection of what ppl have done to my notepad:

- stolen the pen
- stolen the pad
- written with lipstick

what people have done to have their requests played:

- tried to give me money (won't take it)
- ordered me to do it right away
- told me they'd punch me in the face
- claimed to be related to/engaged with the owner
- claimed to work there and to have me fired
- bought me drinks (I never drink anything some stranger brings me)

Now I always have a notepad with me where ppl can write down their requests. But alas, this ain't fool-proof either. Just a collection of what ppl have done to my notepad:

- stolen the pen
- stolen the pad
- written with lipstick
- spilled their drinks on it
- wiped the bar with it (after spilling, perhaps?)
- still writing ridiculous shit like "something you can dance to"

A couple of weeks ago I'm DJ'ing a wedding in the middle of nowhere Iowa & some drunk dude comes up to me & says "can you play some Jersey Shore?"
I looked at him and said "What the f*ck do you want me to do? Put a pound of gel in my hair & paint myself orange?"... His beer goggles wouldn't let him see past the sarcasm so he just stood there like a dumbas*.
I let him stand there a few minutes & then eventually asked him "do you mean fist pumping music?". Of course he said "yeah that".. so I played Public Enemy's "fight the power"
Get the hell outta here with that snookie sh*t

Big Up's to everyone on this thread, best of luck with your DJ careers - here's to girls on yo dick 24/7

Here are my stories

1. My apartment flooded on this day so was rather fucked off. Playing girls 18th on the night, birthday girl comes up to me...
BDG: This is shit, can't you play Daft Punk or something (I am playing Daft Punk's 'Around The World)
Me: (long pause - bemused - ready to kill the manky slut birthday girl or not) Ahhhh This. Is. Daft Punk.
BDG: Oh. Just play more of this then.
Me: (riiiiiiiiight - so I assume more Daft Punk)
5 minutes later..
BDG: This is still shit
Me: (playing Face to Face / Cassius 1999 Double Drop) This. Is. Still. Daft Punk.
BDG: Oh.

So it's shit until she realizes who it is, then because her friends like Daft Punk, SHE LIKES DAFT PUNK. Fuckin' sheep.

2.
I wasn't djing but this is.... FUCKING HYSTERICAL

Went to a club to see Sinden & Fake Blood.
Standing on the stairs between the bar and the d.floor having beer and everyone is pointing and laughing in my general direction; wasn't me but this girl standing next to me staring into oblivion like she'd seen a ghost or some shit.
So I let it go for a minute and then asked the blonde,

"Hey, are you ok?" She turns to look at me, it finally computes to the peanut in between her ears and she says...

"Oh thanks. Sorry; sometimes I forget to breathe."

?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!!??!?!!??!?!!?!

Hour or so later, I find her and say politely,
"Hey how you feelin'?"
She looks at me like I shit on her cornflakes.

Shallow Cunt.

Gentlemen, one day these women will breed.

Peace to you and yours.

sorry but ha ha.

I had one of those boring nights last night. I ended up snapping at some girl as wel. She kept asking for songs that I'd played already and sitting there trying to think of something new. I'm like why don't you just go dance with anyone else instead of trying to out dj me.

I swear some people just want to say that they requested a song to all their mates.


i have found a great way of dealing with this, i dj every saturday at one of the best bars where i live, anytime some one comes and asks for a song i tell them its a great choice and i`ll play it... then they leave to go dance/drink with their friends, then 30mins later they come back "hey, you havent played my jam/track/tune/song"... "yeah i did, didnt you hear it?" they are then convinced they just missed it and ask to play again "one tune once policy up in here, sorry "

Not sure why I thought of this now. But I'm playing something mid tempo ish Danger by Mystikal. Got it pitched up a little and I'm dropping similar tunes and some brare comes up and starts texting in his phone. A min later he's got ''Lloyd Banks - Karma please'' I say nah not now as it's too slow. He then goes into deep concentration and starts beat boxing it a little and then says

Yeah it'll mix. It's a similar beat
No it won't it's too slow and I'm trying to warm the club up a little.
Go on.
Nah not right now I'll drop it later.
Everyone will love it.

ha ha - i have refused to play anything anyone shows me on a phone... especially a "iphone" i swear they do it to show what they got... Pricks!! - only guys do it, never off a girl!
(they don't as it goes at this club) I'm sure they would I like it but its too slow.
You haven't even tried.
I don't need to try I know it's too slow. Hold on let me mix the next tune in.

He then continues to beat box.

It goes. You can't DJ.

Not sure why this bothered me but it did so I load it up put it on the cued deck wack the pitch up to +8 and show the guy in the waveforms that it's too slow. Take it off and put on the next tune. He's like go on mate everyone will love it. I shudder. He then starts to text again in his phone for a minute or so and shows me ''Apple Bottom Jeans - Flo Rida''. Why he couldn't have just asked I have no idea.

Sorry mate too fast I'll get to it in a minute

He raps this time over the mid tempo tunes.

It goes listen, Apple Bottom Jeans Boots with the Furrrrr
Bruv it doesn't mix just because you can recite the lyrics.
It goes come on man.
Bruv go over there and dance. I'll play them in a bit.

can someone link me

i dont really use the sample player that often so yuh
Nicky Blunt 12:22 PM - 18 September, 2010
most of us actually pay for samples to be made for us by professional announcers/voiceover dudes I know tehben paid someone to do his no requests drop, as for the air horns! well there are plenty of those about!

Try google
Nicky Blunt 12:25 PM - 18 September, 2010
I also politely ask artists that im into and play their stuff if they would be so kind, most are kewl with it & give it to u for free some ar douchebags & want extra money on top of the money i pay fr their records, so it depends, It also depends on how big a name u are, the smaller name u have the more likely you will be charged, obv depending on the artists!
Try hitting them up on twitter/facebook myspace. Thats what Ive been doing & now I have a decent small sized collection of artists I play that have given shouts to me my crew & the name of my radio show!

I help my friend Dj weddings every so often and yes weddings can be a real bitch... its pretty helpful if you have a partner to take the requests, which I usually do and you hear the funniest shit.

dude: Do you have any funk?
Dj: yeah...plays a few funk tracks...
dude: comes back.... hey I have a cd in my car
Dj: sure (back then using CDJ's)
CD: MC hammer

While djing for a christmas party for a friends restaurant this one guy who was a friend of one of the employees comes up to the dj booth... makes a few requests, which we play for him... stares intently at the turntable for about 5 mins...(hes drunk) .... reaches over and starts scratching the deck thats playing! WTF!

dude: hey who sang that track that just played? whats the name of the song?
me: Drake ft. Swizzy & Mary
dude: hey can you burn that for me?
me: uh let me go ask the DJ
hour later
dude: so what up?
me: yeah the DJ is using his laptop right now and we don't have any blank CD's

brought my gear to my friends cottage... one of my Chilean buddy is like hey do you have any Reggaeton?(I dispise reggaeton! and he knows this) I say NO... he's like... YOU SUCK! and procedes to bust out his iphone and starts to play reggaeton... I turn the volume up!

my friend made a facade out of PVC piping and its pretty decent... the problem with it is that people come up to us and start to lean on it fooled by the black linen thinking its solid... I know one of these days one of these patrons are going to knock down the 15"MBP... and ruin the wedding!

- "can you play some flip and fill?" [terrible dance music]
- "no"
- "how no?" [means "why not" in the language spoken by - well, the sort of people we don't normally cater for]
- "cos within a minute of pressing play, the manager would sack me"
- " what DO you play then?"
- "indie / rock"
- "then put on some bros" [rancid british 80s pop crap]
- "no"
- "how no?"
- "cos within a minute of pressing play, the manager would sack me AND have the bouncers beat me up"
- "that's pure shite"
- "yeah, sorry about that". (LOL)

And NOT ONCE did i say anything about liking My Humps Or Calabria. But as a DEEJAY I play what the majority of the crowd wants to hear. Not just one or two ppl.
czar 8:21 AM - 21 September, 2010
well dont expect her to be the deejay and be able to fit american pie with the tracks u were playing.

a deejay can do it. that is why she requested it with you, the deejay.

out of calabria the only thing that people care about is the catchy melody not the actual song.. u could have grabbed that sample and worked american pie in by repeating perhaps "this will be the day that I die" ?

i think this had to do more with a challenge which you were not up to or could not handle at that particular time (not that u had to) than with the chick being "crazy" I see nothing crazy with her request.

if all the girls are moving hes doing a great job, 80% rule if the floors jumpin and 1 persons not happy then oh well you cant please everyone Besides if all the girls are dancing to BEPs and Calabria they prob arent the american pie crowd.

I guess what my point was, I'm sick of ppl thinking the world revolves around them. You would not got into a Subway and ask for GOAT CURRY (Or CURRY GOAT however you wanna say it)!!! ;P

So why when I'm playing Top 40 (At a place that was clearly a top 40 spot) would you think it's a free for all?? Regardless of all the DJ technicalities of it, how the hell does AMERICAN PIE equate to a "Song for girls"??

I think it's more of a drunken sing-a-long type tune better fitted for bars, not a top 40 night club. AND yes I know for a faced I would have cleared the floor if i play it at that time!!

Got handed a list from the organiser who has apparently been pestering the office to give them my direct number so she can talk me through her song list.
The list consists of about 80 songs. 13 of them are david guetta, 15 are black eyed peas. 12 are lady gaga/kesha.
In total there are only 30 artists on the list, it's clearly copied from the girls Itunes.

Looking like it'll be a horrible night because from all accounts of the people that have had contact with her, she is a control freak. Let's see how long my patience lasts.

Nicky Blunt you are such a smart individual calling people "clear idiot" when you disagree or misunderstand with them.

how "ridiculous" something might be is also subject to perception of the person that thinks that what is being talked about is ridiculous.
lets move on.


if their "perception" is that the music he was playing is not music girls dance to, and all the girls are currently dancing to it her perception is wrong and they need to realise they are not the only one in the room who needs to be considered. Mabye that club wasnt the spot they needed to be in

djbigboy 5:42 PM - 22 September, 2010
i have to agree, just because 1 person has a negative opinion about the music currently being played doesn't mean you switch format for that one person. I agree that the 80% rule works. Would I consider this one person an idiot? No, but I would suggest they are in the wrong club/bar. If someone told me to play something girls would like, "American Pie" is not one I would even consider. If I were in a piano bar, perhaps it would be high on my list but not in a nightclub/top 40 situation.
DJ DisGrace 6:16 PM - 22 September, 2010
I associate American Pie with drunk, acoustic guitar wielding, American Eagle wearing frat boys....

i would be seriously willing to bet that playing a electro remix would NOT make that girl happy, greatest odds pointing to her comming right back to the booth ans saying either

A) Could you please stop playing techno
B) Can you play the original
C) GIrls dont dance to this either
D) This music sucks

or some combination thereof
Dj-M.Bezzle 8:01 PM - 22 September, 2010
and if the rest of the crowd was digging BEPs and calebria there would have been a line behind her of once happy customers agreeing with her
Ingo B 8:02 PM - 22 September, 2010
She ~might~ have been referring to the Madonna song from a few years back, "American Life." Just trying to see both sides of the coin.
Joshua Carl 8:13 PM - 22 September, 2010
disclaimer.
I love Stevie Ray Vaughn's music.

Im sure theres a bunch of us, who outside the realm of what we play we have some
sort of "guilty pleasure" or other format that we enjoy thats NOT dancefloor friendly.

having that been said.

I had the Mother of all SRV fans this past week.
so you find your self in that position where your like, I hear you, im a fan too
but it wont work in here.
which sometimes, like in this case...blew up in my face.

having engaged in this conversation I unknowingly gave this drunken
dumpster fire permission to annoy me after every single mix.
Finally, I had to ask her around the tables and explain how while I shared her
enthusiasm for SRV, it wont work... which took her from the "come on man, SRV!"
to fuck you, you suck... whats this fu^^ing ni^^er shit, fu** you...your WHITE!
VERY VERY VERY LOUD.

did i mention this was wedding?
classic.
Finally her escort just took her away....I didnt see her again
djbigboy 8:17 PM - 22 September, 2010
Josh - that sounds horrible - what can you do? I had a similar issue, all white wedding, but it was out in the sticks a bit, so while the bride n groom n friends loved hip hop, I had grandpa PISSED off..."Stop playing this N**er shit, no one wants to hear that". To which I pointed at the bride who was singing the words to "Baby Got Back". I laugh, I cried...it has stayed with me...
Joshua Carl 8:22 PM - 22 September, 2010
no lie:

->(do not play list)
no hip hop or rap

->(must plays)
“Run this town” Jay-Z/Rhianna
“Let it Rock” Kevin Rudolf & Lil Wayne
“Love” Nat King Cole
“Unchained Melody” The Righteous Brothers
“Take It to Da House” Trick Daddy
“Yeah” Usher ft. Lil John
“Bust a Move” Young MC

I seriously copied and pasted that from their schedule.

I know that in society the definition among most for hiphop or Rap has changed.
but its funny and ironic
djbigboy 8:25 PM - 22 September, 2010
I would've been on them as to where to draw the line - apparently they like stadium hip hop(hip hop heard at NFL stadiums)....did i just invent that?
djbigboy 8:26 PM - 22 September, 2010
or is it jock rap?
czar 8:29 PM - 22 September, 2010
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA that is TOO FUNNY!
Kool DJ Sheak One 9:14 PM - 22 September, 2010
That is a mind fucker Joshua!
What a conundrum.
"Bust a Move" is probably as close to hip hop as any of those tracks tho.
Pop Rap/Jock Rap is not considered hip hop by these folks.
Just like House is considered Techno.
Joshua Carl 9:15 PM - 22 September, 2010
It used to be easier here in Boston, because you could say... "Ok, so Jamn94.5 rap, NOT hot97.7 rap..."
and generally people here understood that.

now, out hot97.7 is pirate.
so I usually say "you want radio friendly hip-hop right...."

Its actually pretty amazing to think how far its come from 10-15 years ago
djbigboy 9:28 PM - 22 September, 2010
so Jock Rap will be the new catch phrase for music that white people really mean when they say they want to hear hip hop but what they really want is Usher, Pitbull, Black Eyed Peas, Justin Timberlake, Lil Wayne, Akon, T-Pain and anything auto-tuned?
Kool DJ Sheak One 9:30 PM - 22 September, 2010
When they don't want hip hop. That's when you play BEP and Jay-Z...
I think
djbigboy 9:32 PM - 22 September, 2010
I found it hard to put Jay Z into the jock rap category, he still has redeeming qualities and songs...
Joshua Carl 9:35 PM - 22 September, 2010
Ive always been partial to the term Hip-Pop (wheres that TM button)
djbigboy 10:22 PM - 22 September, 2010
ditto but jock rap - imma try to push that....

thing is: if it plays on tv young people will like it. they dont have the power of choice of adults, so anything that plays on tv has a cool factor. makes them feel connected..
czar 6:17 AM - 23 September, 2010
I would have just said straight out NO/ teach her a lesson. would have looked at her like "WTF?" Kids look up to adults so she would have gotten a message off it. Besides the deejay is always the cool one and has power. ;]
czar 6:19 AM - 23 September, 2010
poor girl; and even worse for the baby. girl might be pregnant and without a husband soon if she doesnt get corrected. then she might keep sleeping with random guys trying to find love and the baby suffer because of her inexperience, lack of attention to the baby and lack of her standing well on the world and life.. SMH

hopefully that won't happen. I take a stinky crap on MTV and the likes.

So .. anyhow I was Putting my set together For this Deep House Mix I was making When my doorbell rings and there is my Neighbor Looking Chipper ..

I Roll my eye's as I Said...

Uh.. Hello? I'm sorry the music is So Loud I'll turn it down It's about 2pm
and he's like Oh no .. I just came over to see what you were doing .. Hmm?

So I ask dude in and he's all Happy Chattin it up .. So I sit down Dudes like
What you doin ?

Me: Well I'm Going thru my Library to Choose Music for this Mix

Neighbor: Ah.. So you got every Song Ever Made?

Me: No

Neighbor:Can you Play anything ?

Me: Sure.. But, I'm only playing Deep House On this Set

Neighbor: Chuckles Why is it Called Deep House ?

Me: Because It's Groovy Usally Has a message to it and People who Mix it
Often try to Put the Songs together in a way to Create an overall Message to
thier audience

Neighbor: So It's Spiritual Music Like Gospel ?

Me: Exactly, Well in a way Because the Music is a feeling and the Dancefloor is like
a Church and the DJ is like the Preacher if that Could Help you Understand it Better ...

Neighbor: Well I gotta go I don't listen to Devil Worship in my Home and you shouldn't either !

-Storms away-

Me: Got Back to Work..
czar 7:24 AM - 23 September, 2010
lol I thought deep house was something else.. "The use of vocals became more common in deep house than in many other forms of house music. Sonic qualities include soulful vocals, slow and concentrated dissonant melodies, smooth, stylish, and chic demeanor."

preacher and what? hehe

czar 7:30 AM - 23 September, 2010
u could have just said "Deep house is a subgenre of house music that fuses elements of Chicago house into the 1980s jazz-funk and touches of soul music. Later deep house tracks (1993—94) were also heavily influenced by disco and even merged into a disputable disco house genre."

check it.
"The Psychology of Music"
www.suite101.com

then you can understand that is a song talks about spending money and gaining "love" by it, the listener will be compelled to spend money in search of love. most music talks about sex and money, two of the biggest mind boggling subjects. Sex can have profound psychological implications in any individual, it can affect; appetite, sleep habits, **spending habits, bring happiness or sadness, build a person stronger, or weaker. Mind control. I'll let you decide.

need more stories and less interpretation =()

I hate it when people make requests to play a song twice when it didn't work the first time, last week:

Dude: "Hey can you play that SHOT SHOT SHOT song?"

Me: "I just did like 15 mins ago"

Dude: "So?"

Me (already irritated because his breath is nasty) "Seriously? No i won't play it again, I just played it"

Dude: "People won't notice"

Me: "They didn't notice it much when I played it the first time"

Dude: "Will you play it?"

Me: "no..."

dude walks off kinda pissed and continues to pout.

I dj at 4 venue's semi regularly(2x a month), yet most of my stories come from the place I like to play the least....

Besides that... his zero-content-bla-bla was exposed in the "2.1 sucks"-thread, I don't think he wants an encore.

Nik.... you by far has knowledge about Serato second to none...maybe Konix but i have to give respect where is due and you have been up in here a loooong time.

Bezzle is a troll of massive proportions and is hated by many. It's just funny to see you put him in his place.

'one vodka redbull please' guy was so wasted he didn't even know where the bar was lmao. I hate requests - the wost thing is when i person comes up to you when there's like 30 seconds left on your track - that is the WORST. ppl are so dumb, half the time they request shit i've never even heard of. to deal with them I just completely ignore them, they eventually go away, or say 'sorry i don't have it'

so, i did a wedding last night. a chick asked if i have any high school musical... ummmmm no. but15 minutes later a groomsman comes up and clarifys e that it is the grooms brother who wants it. the bro who also has downs...
about a year ago i did a gig for a friend who has a sis with downs. and is in a "special school" they love high school musical, so i had to have it.

the track he wanted has some drums that sound like marching band, but they stob after 15 seconds or so. i decided to make it a mash up and took somethng from drumlined made the drums go the legnth of the song.

it was awesome. the grooms bro went completely nuts. ran up grabbed my mic and did a performance britney spears would have given props too

czar, go away. you're annoying.


anyways,
spinning a house party the other night, killing it pretty hard for everybody but 1 very very drunk individual. he comes up to me and the convo goes something like this:

drunk tard: HEY YOU GOT THAT NEW NELLY SONG? (yes caps cause he was YELLING it)
me: tippin' in the club?
DT: uhhh... uhh. YEAH THAT'S IT
me: sure i'll try and fit it in
DT: NO. NOW. (staring at me in the eyes)
me: haha. dude, i'll fit it in.
DT: NO. NOWW.
me: are you joking? i told you i'd fit it in homie.
DT: I OWN THIS HOUSE. PUT IT ON NOW.
me: i'll fit it in, go away.
DT: NOW.
that's the type of sh*t that'll get you punched straight in the face, like seriously. i was gonna knock him out.
BUT then he spills his drink, falls over and almost completely knocks over the speaker stand. mind you i'm spinning for fun for a house party, not getting paid nothing.

after all that, he comes back asking about his song AGAIN then he says "I'LL PAY YOU, how much do i have to pay you??"

i laugh and say naw homie just go away. i finally throw his boner jam on to get him the f out, he then comes back and tells me how f'ing cool i am. "dude you're the best. dude you're so cool." people like that need to be sterilized almost as badly as czar does.

"People Who Put You Down Are Hurt Themselves
The first thing to know is that a happy, self confident, person does not put others down. They might provide constructive criticism but they won’t put others down. This tells you a lot about the person who criticizes you. Some people are very negative about others because:

- they need to make themselves feel like they're in control or more powerful or to cover up their own insecurities
- they’ve experienced a trauma of their own in the past and they don’t know how to deal with the pain so they'll hurt others as a defense mechanism.

Me : Because im the shot caller as far as the music that comes out of them speakers and i say NO.
Girl : Whatever.
Me : " puts my hand in front of her face and calls security" Get that drunk trick out of here.

last night...

group of drunk girls comes in, one of them celebrating a b-day.

two of them come at me at once, one in front of the deck (my pet peeve) and one to my left. I'm mid mix, so I put my finger up like "give me a second" The one on the left start doing the mock scratch over my deck trying to fuck with me. I give her a very serious look and she just keeps doing it. I finish the mix and she is yelling at me the she has a request it's her friends b-day. I hadn't even been given a second to answer before she says "why don't you take requests?"

I respond, "because I am not a jukebox". Then she says, "why are you being rude? If you are going to be rude we are going to leave." I just said, "I'm being rude?" and went back to mixing ignoring her.

She goes to round up her friends who are all dancing and I drop "Say Aah" for the b-day girl, the whole group starts screaming and sourpuss is forced to dance. I figured that is what they wanted to hear anyway, right....

In da Club into B-Day Sex Transition....okay now get the fuck out of her and go be bitches in some other bar, see ya!
Laz219 12:05 AM - 26 September, 2010
Last night doing a thing for a school. While they were having dinner I threw on an old RnB mix. Was going fine, while I'm waiting for the tables to get cleared off (they were on the dancefloor) a girl came up.
"who's in charge of the music"
I told her once the tables were cleared I was.
"can you play some lady gaga"
I told her once everything was out of the way and I could actually get started I would, she walked away.

Once I actually got started I played a couple of tracks to get everyone up then put on a LG track.
While It's playing the same girl comes up "can you play some lady gaga"
I looked at the deck, looked back at her "ummm, this is lady gaga"
She replied "but like, lots of it"

She ended up being the girl of the night endlessly coming up asking for different things.

Another girl asked for "I don't know what it's called by the let me see your hips swing song" Then proceeded to sit right in front of me and give me dirty looks for the length of each successive song that wasn't it.
djtoast 1:11 AM - 26 September, 2010
"play some kylie"
"that's not really the sort of music we play here"
"but you played florence and the machine!"

*dj toast's jaw drops open*

"hah, see, you've got no answer to that!
"you're right, i really don't"

i dunno what she meant - that she thought i wouldn't play kylie minogue because she's female, is the only thing that makes any sense to me.

tell you what though, if you add all the stupid requests i've ever had together, they still wouldn't annoy me as much as the fucking cunt who's stamping her big fat clog-wearing feet in time - sorry, ALMOST in time - to every bloody record tonight.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! for about two hours now.

This one chick was textbook Annoying Requestor. Did everything as outlined in this thread. Mutliple times. It was a particularly busy night, and I was in a groove, so after the 4th nagging, it seemed easier to accomodate than do my normal ignore-'em-til-they-forget-from-intoxication move.

Turns out, the track was her and her boyfriend's favorite club song. He recently died over in Iraq. Needless to say, she was extremely thrilled, and given the circumstances, the fact that it made her night kinda made me happy, too.

me too. to my right there is a hall and a side enterence 20 feet away from my gear. a guy wasn't trying to touch my gear but he was drunk to the point that he kept pissing me off. he had a beer and kept splashing around. a drop hit my computer so i leaned forward and pushed the dude away. went around to the front, grabbed his arm, twisted it and threw him into the wall. then grabbed the back of his arm (tricep) and pushed him the rest of the way (while continuing to use the wall to make his hangover hurt that much more)

I'm DJ'ing this wedding this past Saturday & they had me setup on a stage. To the right & sort of behind me was an area they had setup with a couple of tables for the really elderly people that would be there. Since that area would be behind my speakers the music purposely would not be loud there.
Sure enough while I'm doing the introductions and such some old hag comes up to me and tells me "I don't know if you plan on doing this as a job, but you need to practice on the microphone, we can't hear you over here (points to the section where they aren't supposed to hear me)"...
I look at her, laugh & keep doing my thang. I didn't want to explain to her the situation or argue with someone's great grandma & end up causing more drama for the bride & groom during their big day. If she knew I've been DJ'ing almost two decade now, dumb/ignorant people is what irks me the most..

"Sorry, whats that... say again?"
This sucks... no one is dancing...
"are you serious....I dare you to try to make it to the other side of the dancefloor in
back in 5 minutes..."
its packed... but no one likes it... everyones complaining...
"well...lets see...[drop classic party break, do my ladies/do my fellas video]
booooming response....
"they all seem pretty happy to me..."
they are not... this fucking sucks...
{at this point I realize I need to cut my losses and move on... it was straight bonkers
in the club at this point}
"so, you dont like it..."
no
theres the door...try to find a better spot right now...ta ta.

she continued to try to engage me....
I just kept pointing to the door.

Hehe a friend of mine says his favorite are the hot chicks who ask him if they can scratch and he offers them a "private lesson"... hahahahaha

"Are you hitting on me??" is actually is a fantastic response. I've busted that out a few times. They either blush and get all flirty, or walk away. Win-win either way.

I get more love (of the fresh prince varient) when I drop the Sir Mix Alot take on it.
Watchwww.youtube.com

granted, I mix out after the jump on it part.

The SugarHill Gang version gets no love...
the Incredible Bongo Band version..sadly gets no love for me these days..either.

but I play the video...with the fresh prince clips...and people lose their damn minds.


then people get all excited and willy-nilly and asking for random Bel Air shit, like the

went so Far as to even place cut pieces of paper on thier toungues and pretend
like they were gettin High on acid

I mean they even got a black kid to dress up like hendrix they went All out !
Wich was funny because they were all square Kids every single one of them ...

AnyHow my Point is they would Go Crazy FOR that SOng TIme WaRP!

Dam.. I wish I hadn't been so poor I might've got Video of this to put up on Youtube then Millions of youtubers would LOL till thier Fingers wore out

Pitbull - Shots
Neyo - Dj's Got Us Fallin In Love
E-40 - Booty
Usher - Dynamite
Too Short - Glamorous Lifestyle

and the capper was when I had turned off the music, packed up my bag, backpack on my bag, i am saying bye and some guy waves 20 bucks in my face to say "Hey DJ play Toot It, I got 20 on it". "Player, the gear is already packed, the sound is turned off, the lights are on". "But I got $20 to play it". Me "If you wanna go around and pay all the staff that want to go home $20, I will turn it on for you". High fives from the staff as I walk out the door....

I'm the opening DJ usually so I get the pleasure of babysitting the rest of the DJs on the sound board, not one of them so far understands when their channels are all red, the master is all red, and I'm turning them down on the Yamaha sound board, that it's going to sound like crap and majorly clipped...

One guy actually had the nerve to say to me "why don't you just turn it down on your board" so I got a sheet of paper out and drew a waveform, 2 horizontal lines for the clipping volume and said "No matter how much I turn it down, my board still is missing the top and bottom of these waveforms".

We have a Driverack 260 already but when the CLIP indicator is on every beat, I think it's excessive ;)

But you gotta remember, clipped waveforms are bad for speakers..

The problem with the venue in a way is the fact there's line array JBL's hung from the ceiling (25 feet up) and they are 30 feet in front of the DJ booth, facing away from the DJs... So you're at the bar screaming your order to the bartender and you can talk at a fairly normal volume in the DJ booth. So the DJs crank and crank and crank thinking it's not loud enough.

Can you drop the strength of the signal coming from your Mixer?? And if i remember correctly you can adjust the input/output levels of your driverack... that may help....it's gonna sound like shit!! But at least they wont be blowin' speakers fast

or just tell them to turn it down, and keep it out of the reds, lol
Bigga Bounce Ent 11:33 PM - 3 October, 2010
That too monitors would help i think...
DouggyFresh 11:44 PM - 3 October, 2010
Oh there's 2 Mackie SRM-450's on each side of the booth, ear level, aimed at the DJ. They increase the gain/master volume but with the monitors cranked all the way. I do tell them to keep it out of the reds, so I turn up the main board. 2 songs later, back in the reds, turning the main board down.

Luckily, no blown speakers, but I think that's because we have the JBL VRX self-powered line arrays and subs, and they have on board limiters as well.

I think part of the problem is DJs that don't even understand you can HEAR the clipping in the monitors- I can hear the clipping without even looking at the board.

It's not really a problem with keeping the whole system from being blown, I keep it out of the reds on the main system, just the music coming from the mixer sounds like garbage. It's not even the master being in double red (DJM-800) it's the channel gains get cranked. I've been telling the DJs to adjust the gain in their Serato rather than on the board, but these guys don't even build overviews.

Girl comes up "do you have that song that goes: Shots! Shots! Shots!
Didn't seem like it could be too difficult for her to know the actual song name. She knew it was LMFAO.

Same night, had possibly the nicest girl requesting songs I've ever had. She asked for M.I.A towards the start (MUCH) later I finally got around to playing it. Just after it finished she came up to say thanks, we talked for a bit and she asked "if you have _______(i forget now) can you play it too"
When I got around to playing it, she came back to say thanks again.

Nice change to see someone go out of their way to come say thanks for playing their song.

I don't accept foreign MP3 CDs, flash drives, phones, etc from people because after 20 years fixing computers, it's the easiest way to mess up your computer... Imagine you import some corrupt MP3 and go to play it and Serato crashes in the middle of a set...

I think it has to be all of the times that I was working with CDs and someone would ask if they could grab a CD from their car for me to play at the venue in the middle of my set. I couldn't help thinking (and a couple times saying) "If you wanna hear it so bad, and it's in your car...THEN GO TO YOUR CAR AND LISTEN TO IT!!!!"

Oh yeah, there was the one time when I worked for a company doing weddings. The groom's brother, who was at least 6'5"/250, wanted to hear Mother by Danzig (not a bad song, but completely inappropriate considering how conservative these people were). He started shittalking us, my boss, who was about 5'9"/160, was on the verge of kicking his ass, and by the time I got a smoke break, I saw the guy in out in his car blasting Mother. The best part was that when the reception was over the groom's brother, accompanied by his parents no less, was forced to apologize to us with his mother looking like she was going to give him a spanking. And for our trouble. we each got a $125 tip.

There's no respect for our profession anymore. A legendary DJ friend of mine was almost kicked out in Las Vegas (a la Jazzy Jeff) for doing his thing. If legendary DJs get shitted on by the venue and/or promoters, how much more respect do we expect from these people. But oh well, I'd rather still be a DJ than anything else...

Theres a station where i live that plays popular stuff... kind of like a wild 94.9 from the bay area.

Every once in a while they throw on some country sounting shit... pisses me off. a couple of the DJ's are cool and we joke about it. I was complaining about one song and they said that it was on a hit on the pop charts and i said yeah country pop charts. if i wanted to listen to country i'd hit scan on my radio till i found some.

If they play a song and I text the station something to the effect of "This song sucks monkey balls" the guy DJ's will cut it off (lol feel bad they have to listen to the whole thing).

The chick DJ during the day is the Music Director so she's the bitch that picks the bullshit. She gets all defensive and gives me shit when I tell her that country sucks. Next time I'll tell her to take spanish lessons cause she's going to end up getting the station sold cause she's losing listeners.

alot of towns went with the "ipod" stations...
here we have "Mike" FM

www.937mikefm.com

some of my friends actually worked for the station b4 the change.
they had mixshows, played pretty much anything you'd hear in a club between
1977 and now....

then one night, everyone got laid off.
and the next day the station went totally internal.
no on air personalities, no djs, no nothing... just music and commercials.
they say we "play everything" but its basically its a solid rotation of top40
crap, with an occasional curveball.

I have to give them credit because they play good local music and the morning DJ Marcus Mathews has his shit together. They kill the vibe by switching it up though. Must be working for them though, they have advertisers. They don't have much competition though, only one other station in the market playing current top 40 and they are even more of a station-in-a-box than this one.

DJChad72 11:24 PM - 11 October, 2010
The only way Top 40 and Commercial music doesnt suck... is that all the remixers are making it possible to continue mixing top 40 into our house sets and not completely trash it to your hard core house heads.

I mean there are some really hot Top 40 / Commercial tracks, but nothing peeves me more when you go to a Top 40 bar and it is just like hearing all the albums of those artists on "shuffle." Album Mix, Album Mix, Album Mix, oh a mashup, clever, Album Mix, Album Mix, Album Mix, Album Mix, 15 minutes on the microphone, Album Mix, Album Mix, etc......

There is no deviation from the radio or album at all. Even when the artist performs live, they change up the arrangement some so it isnt EXACTLY like the REPEAT REPEAT album version. What peeves me most is the patrons that go there thing it is AWESOME because they know the song and the EXACT version.

I dont know about you, but if I am going to pay a cover for a club and sprinkle some cash on the bar, I dont want what 90% of the night to be exactly what is on my iPOD. I love hearing a new version of something, new songs, and completely opposite of what I have been just putting on repeat on my iPOD in my car or gym routine. I mean, I like to hear something I know and can get into... however if the whole night is a playlist I could have sat at home in my basement show room with the speakers up.... drinking my own drinks with my friends... then it is NOT worth it to me.

thats what most djs feel to BUT from my experience its the exact opposite with crowds, they DONT want to deviate from what they know, they WANT exactly what they hear on the radio....most crowds are also VERY wak
DJChad72 2:50 AM - 12 October, 2010
Alot of people do come out to hear me just because they know they will hear alot they have not heard before as well as the stuff they know, but most wont because it isnt on the radio. They then check out my set list I post on my web site the next day to see what it is I played. Then their google fingers can kick into high gear... hopefully BUYING the music. <grin>

However, you are completely right in the fact there is a good portion of the crowd that wants to just turn it into either 1) a yester-year ball, 2) a radio jam fest, or 3) completely change the genre.

I dont think 5 years ago, it was the request fest it is these days. I think it is causing alot of DJs at large clubs to have to become more eclectic in their sets (venue/club permitting.) Although it seems like they are making alot of people happy, it is never at the same time. Which is why I think newer clubs are opening up in smaller venues so they can specialize the crowds and entertainments... without all the overhead.

I had the same chick come to my weekly that I spoke about recently asking for Snoop again, I told her, again, that I really don't play hip hop, and that I told her the sam thing last time. Truth is, I probably was kinda mean.

As I'm telling her this, I was mixing in Mike Posner, and she said, "Well this is Hip Hop" and I corrected her with "No, this is Pop" she than countered with, "Well what's the difference?"

I had been beaten. I played her Gin and Juice.
Joshua Carl 3:15 PM - 13 October, 2010
sadly, or thankfully depending on your stance hip-hop is pop(ular) music now.

some if more bubble gum than others....but I certainly wouldnt call Posner hiphop.
you could make the arguement he is a tad of R&B though.

I wasn't saying Posner was Hip Hop, her (correct) answer to me not playing Hip Hop at that particular spot was "What's the Difference" between what I was calling Pop (Posner) and Hip Hop. Sure she was asking me for some actual Hip Hop (Gin and Juice) but her assessment that Hip Hop and Pop are not different RIGHT NOW was correct enough for me to oblige her.

As for the sadfully/thankfully part, I'm both.

BTW Joshua, I'm sending you a PM, got a question.

I got asked to play Dueces last night by the same girl twice, the first time I told her later, the second time she said "Well I'm about to go downstairs (different club) so can you play it now.." I told her no, in a couple songs... Well she went downstairs so I didn't play it. An hour later she came back up and I noticed her standing there so I played it as part of what I was already playing... and she starts jumping up and down and says "OH MY GOD HE'S PLAYING MY SONG!!!" all happy and giggly.

I can understand that more now, then say 10years ago.
not even about the ADD style of spinning, but the content, and how its changed.

how many artists are solo on their tracks now?
and alot of times, there's a verse on the track thats an obvious fan-favorite.
alot of time i set cue points to jump to that verse, or completly re-work
the mix so the hot part is first.

if you dont do this, and just play the first hook & verse people tend to be like WTF?

perfect example; Ludacris. how many songs is he on, but doesent come in til the 3rd verse?
especially "Yeah". his verse is dead last, but often alot of people favorite part.
gotta get creative if your gonna be zipping in and out of songs...
DouggyFresh 9:51 PM - 14 October, 2010
I've gotten that kind of request several times...

Out Here Grinding - the Plies verse (I have a cue at that spot)
Ain't I - the TI verse

I play Joe ft/Mystikal Stutter and almost always play the Mystical verse right after the chorus... There's so many songs I have cue pointed so I play 1 verse only... i'd edit them but I feel that re-encoding videos might lose quality just for that..

LOL I had almost forgotten to post this one, last sat night i walk in, put my equipment on stage, nothing is set up laptop is off on a table tables are in their cases and the radio is playing music for the restraunt customers downstairs, noone is in the club except me and the bartender. So im starting to get my stuff together when 2 girls walk in with 2 guys, they walk to the dancefloor and the girls give the stinkface and start yelling "what kind of shit is he playing, OMG this place sucks why did you bring us here" (mind you its 9:00 we dont even open as a club till 10) so i just kinda ignore them and continue setting up my stuff. One comes up and asks im if im going to "keep playing this shit all night or your going to play something good". I just laughed and told her i havent even started playing yet. Then she rudley tells me to change the music. I let her know thats not in my control its the restraunt downstairs playing for their customers. She cops and attititude and tells me i suck and im playing shitty music noone wants to dance to. So i ask her if she has a song in mind and of course she does so i tell her to hold on and i write down the # to the radio station and let her know she can call them and request they change the music their playing.

So I set my stuff up and when everythings ready i still have 30 minutes before im scheduled to play so i go sit by the bar to have a drink, i sit there for 15 minutes with these 2 BITCHES also siting there harping me to change the music. At this point even the bartender is gettin pissed and he even tried to explain that im not on yet and most people dont start working befoe their schedule as their not gettin paid for it.

Finally i finished my drink and stand up to start my gig and one of them goes asks me if im going to play anything "hip" or if im going to be playing shitty music like the radio, i looked at her and said "why would i play anything hip this early in the night, typically only losers show up to a club an hour before it opens and wait for people to get there, ill wait till some hip people to show up to play the good stuff"

They just sat at the bar looking pissy for about 30 minutes before leaving.

dude who requests deadmou5 every week in a top 40 bar: "can you play deadmou5, drop it like it's hot, James Brown, E-40..."

even though I have no problem fitting all those into a set I cut him off and said,

"look bro, I appreciate your support but if you want to make a bunch of requests go do it to a jukebox. This is what I do for a living and I do it well. You obviously like what I do because you are here every time I play. Trust me, I want you to dance and have a good time and I am going to pick the right records to make you do that."

later he was dancing so hard next to the decks that he actually skipped the needle. The record started over because I use drop to cues. First time I've heard the record skip in years....

START RANT.

So I was mixing at Red Bull bike race after-party the other night and was playing some electro and hip hop. All good, had a fun time, but this one dude came up and introduced himself as a friend of a DJ (who he points to in a corner eyeballing me.) Said he was having a fun time, wanted to hear some hip hop. I told him i was gonna lower from 130 to 90 in like 15 minutes cause I was playing some top 40 wannabe electro junk for the while for the wiiings girls. 10 minutes later its all going good, about to go from some beatport top 10 stuff and play some jay z and this dude who was glaring at me from across the bar comes up again and starts yelling about the song I'm playing and how the hell is this hip hop and how the fuck was I hired as the DJ.

"Jesus! You aren't even using Technics and you call yourself a DJ?!? CDJ's are fucking gay man and if you don't have a vestax or rane mixer you are just a poser! I mean, c'mon! I bet you can't even do a 3 click flare!"

SO... as this drunk fuck has his arms flailing about I wave security over and they grab him and throw him out. And it got me thinking... What makes a modern DJ?

Does the top 40 fed general public still expect 1200's or is it slowly becoming ok to use CDJ's and midi controllers. I'm no turntablist and I'm not a hip hop head by any means. I'm just a crazy kid who likes listening to "techno" and thinks making people dance is just magical. So I started mixing house and trance in 2005 because I LIKED that music. Now I'm 19 and my style has definitely changed, but I still have hate because I'm NOT mixing low quality mp3's from some underground rap/virus site or your homeboys promo cd. I just want to blend music with a ton of effects/loops to spice it up. Whether its hip hop or house I don't care. Oh well. Screw haters, I had a blast.

END RANT.

LOL I had almost forgotten to post this one, last sat night i walk in, put my equipment on stage, nothing is set up laptop is off on a table tables are in their cases and the radio is playing music for the restraunt customers downstairs, noone is in the club except me and the bartender. So im starting to get my stuff together when 2 girls walk in with 2 guys, they walk to the dancefloor and the girls give the stinkface and start yelling "what kind of shit is he playing, OMG this place sucks why did you bring us here" (mind you its 9:00 we dont even open as a club till 10) so i just kinda ignore them and continue setting up my stuff. One comes up and asks im if im going to "keep playing this shit all night or your going to play something good". I just laughed and told her i havent even started playing yet. Then she rudley tells me to change the music. I let her know thats not in my control its the restraunt downstairs playing for their customers. She cops and attititude and tells me i suck and im playing shitty music noone wants to dance to. So i ask her if she has a song in mind and of course she does so i tell her to hold on and i write down the # to the radio station and let her know she can call them and request they change the music their playing.

So I set my stuff up and when everythings ready i still have 30 minutes before im scheduled to play so i go sit by the bar to have a drink, i sit there for 15 minutes with these 2 BITCHES also siting there harping me to change the music. At this point even the bartender is gettin pissed and he even tried to explain that im not on yet and most people dont start working befoe their schedule as their not gettin paid for it.

Finally i finished my drink and stand up to start my gig and one of them goes asks me if im going to play anything "hip" or if im going to be playing shitty music like the radio, i looked at her and said "why would i play anything hip this early in the night, typically only losers show up to a club an hour before it opens and wait for people to get there, ill wait till some hip people to show up to play the good stuff"

They just sat at the bar looking pissy for about 30 minutes before leaving.

So did you say something to the manager or just think it? Did you play early?
I sometimes have mobile gigs like weddings where they ask me to start playing early as people arrive and I tell them they pay me to play from time A to time B and if they want more they pay. I don't pick over a couple minutes but for the most part if it's 15 minutes or more they pay.

No ive found its not worth my time arguing with her over stuf, shes as hard headed as it gets and has the mind of a restraunt server rather than a successful club\lounge owner so it would be like talking to the wall on any issues where "the customers always right" is a possible answer. I started a bit early but just because i was offically done settting up and really didnt feel like doing what i did the night before and sitting at the bar waiting for 10 on the dot just bein a dick. It was worth it too because as soon as i started playing the rest of the reunion she was at was walkin by and about 75 people came in instantly.....we were packed before i was even scheduled to stat playing.

no because were already open at that point anyway, its the upstairs to a restraunt so people can come eat up there then its kinda like a lounge after that so even waaaaay before i start people can be there at the bar drinikin or eatin if the restraunts packed (i hate that its over that restraunt because they have some of the best food in the city and it looks sooooo good when i get there lol plus i get half off for workin there, so tempting). Its just a timing issue that when i get there is when people start getting downtown and walkin around\going in places
DJ Dub Cowboy 6:25 PM - 18 October, 2010
here is my Saturday story....sorry for the book

took a break from my regular spot. They actually played a recording of me playing there instead of getting another DJ. True story.

I instead was hired to do the University's Homecoming. I've done many gigs for the them and they pay well but the last place students want to be is on campus on the weekend, so I wasn't expecting much of a turn out. In fact it is also Family Week at HSU so I was expecting parents. They had me billed as playing the "best dance music from the 70s until today" so I had some proper crates selected to take us from the 70s right up on to today. All video gig.

The set-up was nice; 3 screens, decent lighting, sound was nice (during sound check) and they brought in a wooden dance floor to go over the carpet. It's more than I normally have on a Saturday night and I didn't have to set any of it up...just my decks.

They opened the doors and the oldest person walking in was 20 so I changed my game plan from 70s to dubstep and that hit the right note. I could tell right off the bat that these kids were beat friendly. However....one mix into the set and ALL 4 JBL SUBS blow at the same time. BOOM!

They had just gotten new amps and they were way overpowered for the MRXs. New board too and the guy running it had no clue what he was doing. All the senior techs had gone home for the night but I told the dude to call them up and get them down here, shit is not right...RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE

They come down and assess the situation and basically no subs all night was how that played out. Oh well, lets just mix.

I'm up on a stage and two people had balls enough to come up on the stage and ask for requests. To them, they were perfectly in line. I looked at them like, "Me no Speak americano" and kept on mixing. Third girl walks up on stage and turns out she is the homecoming chair and there is going to be a dance contest. Surprise!!!
Okay, so I roll with it. In 20 minutes I'll loop the shit out of something and we can have a dance contest.

She comes back 20 minutes later and on her way up kicks the stage power cord out of the socket with her hooker heels without noticing. The whole stage goes black, SSL crashes, and all that is on is the microphone. She is looking at me like, "what happened to the music?" so I picked up the mic and said, "you just kicked out the power cord." the whole place gets a laugh.

So I plug everything back in, restart the comp, and flip over the Maddslinky to get some music playing. While I'm waiting for the sound man to turn me back up. I grabbed the mic and went into the zone.

"yo, a few of you tried asking for requests and I just want to let you know that I come from an era where you don't go up and talk to the DJ. You let the DJ do his thing and you are taken on a ride and hopefully you are amazed by it. It's not that I don't want to play the music you want to hear. I do, but I figure that out by watching you dance. If you like what I am doing I give you more, if not I switch it up. Trust me, I think you'll enjoy what I can do."

We went into the dance contest, got it done with and for the next 3 hours I saw hands in the air and no one talked to me. One of the best sets I have played in a while. Mainly because I wasn't catering to my picky bar crowd who isn't so much into the remixes. The younger kids are soaking up the beats and I was able to bust some classic tunes and see a whole new generation lock into that groove and go nuts. I still managed to slip some 70s gems in there to honor the poster and they dug those too. The room stayed full all night and we went an extra 40 minutes past sound curfew.

I bet if I hadn't said something, I would have had people trying to make requests all night. By engaging them in a respectful way, I think I educated them on how to properly loose their shit on the dance floor. I felt like grandpa rave in there but it turned out being a much better night than I had expected. The staff had fun too because I caught them humming dutch synth lines and singing "One more time..." as they were breaking down the stage.

Oh I forgot...the runner up in the contest pulled his ipod out of his pocket and ask me to play it making 'plugging headphones in' gesture. I responded by giving him them, 'are you kidding me, look at all this gear and you want me to plug an ipod in; get the fuck out of here' gesture.

here is the setlist in two parts (pre crash/post crash)
nothing ground breaking, but I mostly stick to originals and edits my weekly spots so it was fun for me.
Part 1 serato.com
Part 2 serato.com

again, nothing too fancy but it was all set up for me

I dont know why but when i read this it seemed like such a mindfuck.....like...OK i play a certian kind of music until people stop dancing, then if i see people leaving i change it to suit the crowd....NOW LETS HAVE A DANCE CONTEST LAST PERSON TO STOP DANCING\LEAVE THE FLOOR WINS!!!!!!!!!!!

Then after the show its wow they liked dubstep noone left the floor allll night LOL
DJ Dub Cowboy 6:45 PM - 18 October, 2010
dance contest was short. best dance moves won, not longest dancer


it's a lot more subtle than that. people don't have to leave or even stop dancing to throw off signs. It could be them looking around the room, or changing their movements. I don't have to loose the floor before I change directions.

I was thinking about your situation bezzle. Maybe you should ask for a request night and a no request night. I know that the nights that no one talks to me are some of my best sets. I really feel in touch with the whole room when I don't cater to one person's fleeting desires.

Ive had that idea too, that and a no requests after X time.

Its not even the requests that bother me its the attitude that typically accompanies them

Friday night.

about 11PM in a pool hall. I had been playing for an hour and half already. Just so happened to have a bunch of people in their 50s in there when I started so I catered to them and actually kept them dancing the whole time. Normally the place would be empty at that time. Right about the time when that crowd was naturally ready to leave and my regulars started coming I started switching up to some newer music, I peaked it out with some Prince and mixed in some Diddy "Last Night" which was the perfect combo to get people over to the bar.
During that song, this drunk bitch comes right up behind the decks basically blocking my reach to the left TT and starts yelling, "this music sucks, there isn't anybody on the dance floor"
me: I know, I'm not worried about it everyone is at the bar and it's still pretty damn early.
db: this song sucks, do you listen to this at home
me: actually I do like this song
db: well play something better
me: like what?
db: anything but this
me: name one song better than this
db: not this
me: see you can't even think of one song
db: I'll pay you to play something better
me: okay, what do you want to hear
db: not this shit
me: okay, well time to go. You are being rude.
db: I just want you to play something different
me: well yapping at the DJ is not the way to get that done
-cut her off to mix the next track, she walks away

few songs later she is at the edge of the dance floor giving me dirty looks and generally heckling. I call her over to the booth.

me: see Raggs over there (the owner), do you really think that he would hire someone who can't do this job well. Go ask him if I do my job well.
db: I just wanted you to play one song for me
me: and you couldn't tell me what that song was
db: Pennywise "something something" (didn't hear her)
me: are you kidding me. you're criticizing me for playing music that no one is dancing to and you want me to play some punk shit in a top 40 bar. sorry girl, you are out of line
db: you still suck
me: I'm about ready to have you kicked out
db: (yelling)
me: (headphones)

about 10 minutes later she finally walks up to the owner.
5 minutes after that he is in the booth.

Raggs: so this girl says she offered you $50 to play two songs and you told her to get the fuck out of the bar.
me: ROFL
Raggs: I told her, "I highly doubt that, but I will look into it"
me: wow, she came up to me yelling and this is the first I heard about $50 to play a song. In fact, I was about 2 minutes away from having your bouncers kick her out from distracting from what you pay me to do.
Raggs: thought so

so again she stands on the edge of the dance floor with arms crossed glaring but this time people are dancing

so I look up at her and point to the record I am just about to drop....

Shes obviously a lost cause shes not having a good time so why the fuck is she gonna stay and try to give off a contagious bad atitude, probably talk shit to peopel HAVING fun and trying to get on your nerves which is reflected in the music.
If you dont like the music being played mabye your in the wrong damn spot. I for one wouldnt to into a bar and see a slipnot looking band playing to a bunch of screming metal heads headbanging and go cuss the band out demanding they play lady gaga because thats what was ont he radio when i parked.

But instead ive just decided to ignore the whole thing and take it on a situational basis, takem em where i can but if its just absurd ignore it and damned the reprecussions. Its not even the requests that bother me its the attitude that typically accompanies them



dude, I'm telling you. I get occasional nights were no one talks to me and that is when i feel like I shine the most. Even if it is just one person who I know well asks for me some shit, takes away from the flow. Especially since I usually know what they are going to ask for anyway. It is just so much more satisfying to drop shit before they even ask. then you see your friends on the dance floor fist pumping and they know YOU are looking out for them. See if you can make it happen. Halloween even...dress up in a huge juke box outfit so that no one can talk to you. Then just do your thing. I bet you'll kill it.

It's almost guaranteed I get a request 10 mins before the next DJ comes on and it's something I know 100% he will play (aka the hottest songs out). I get someone asking me for one of those about once a week, which I always tell them, I'm only going to be DJing til 12 and the next DJ will play it anyways. Once in a while, I'll get someone who says "Come on play it now"... But usually I don't get that.

i think one of the ones that bother me the most and i get most often is teh TONS of people who walk in the door AT 10, 1030,1100,1130, when theres little to no people there and demand the hottest songs out RIGHT THEN. My favorite example and one that happens the most is people comming in demanding all i do is win at 10:14...i mean how awsome is that song when you have a whole 3 people puting their hands up

Its seems that certain genres of music naturally pair with people who make
requests, and and their repsonses of those genres.

IE, someone asks for some house, and u explain you'll try to get some on when u can.
they generally are like, ok thanks...

someone asks for rock, tell em the same thing... they might bug ya a bit.
but they arent gonna be an asshole about it.

reggae, dancehall & reggaeton will come up to everymix, get a all stinky about it
everytime..sometimes just stand at the booth, arms crossed, mean muggin u the whole time...

old school hiphop requestors, whom I usually try to "one-up" when they make their request, it lets them know, yeah..I feel ya...we'll try...IE, yo, you got any digital undergound?... how about some Nas or Biggie?"

current hiphop/hippop people will send 8/10 people from their party up
individually and ask for the same song, like u cant figure that out?

these are of course not set in stone...and people jump styles.
but on the whole this is the patterns Ive seen over the years

Don't forget the trance guys, who think some obscure Tiesto track no one has ever heard of will be God's gift to the dancefloor - meanwhile, B.O.B. and Ke$ha tracks are the only thing really working

LMFAO, this reminded me, a few weekends ago on a sunday i was down on bourbon st, i was hangin out in this spot chillin with the MC and the DJ and they played the cupid shuffle. Whole floor fills people dance same old stuff, then this chick runs up and asks my boy if he has (cant remember the name but i had never heard of it) and said she had this brand new dance that was gonna be the next big thing. So my boy finds the track and the MC is like alright lets see if we can all get this. Music starts and its some weird underground horrible produced rap track, we look at the floor and the chick starts doing the electric slide, the MC calls her out like that shits not new and she straight starts arguin with him that this is soem new dance she came up with. So the dj mixes out to the electric slide and the MC tells her to watch as the whole club starts doing the dance that she thought she made up LOL

Its the same with house...if someone comes and asks for David Guetta, you can 1-up them buy saying...how about some swedish house mafia?

so people have a clever new way of requesting songs. they combine two songs into one request. for example, was asked do you have "teach me how to jerk?" whichever one you play, they could just say that wasn't the one they were asking for!

lol, Audio Push "Teach Me How to Jerk" song has been around for a while. I like that tune, works well for me.

Don't give those club goers any ideas or we'll be hearing requests for "California G6" and "Apple Bottom Dougie"

wow didnt know there was actually that song! i played dougie, they were like naw thats not it. but i got the thumbs up when i played youre a jerk.
DJ Dub Cowboy 10:13 PM - 24 October, 2010
so last night I broke down. If you scroll up you can read my book about the girl pulling the power cord with with stripper heels. It ended up being a good night due to the LACK of requests. It was also a break from my normal Saturday gig.

So last night night I'm back and I get the stream of requests.

Starting early with
"will you play some dubstep"

-playing dubstep and the same girl comes back
"like a G6?"

-before even mix into the next song
"oh and apple bottom jeans"

-just mixed out of Americano>Pitbull "Bon Bon">Americano or Dutch
regular patron: "are you going to play 'we no speak' americano" (facepalm)

-then a very drunk guy comes right up to the decks
"these people want to hear some Reggae, play some reggae"
me: "bro, I know my reggae. I got this under control. Can you move so I can mix the next song"
drunk guy: "play some reggae"
me: pushes him out of the booth.

-then a guy comes up
"you got that dougie?'

-then another guy
"teach me how to dougie"

-then another guy, all during the same song

I snapped.

Then I did something I thought I was only capable of when I was drunk, except I was stone cold sober. I pulled down the music completely and got on the mic.

"Yo, if you come into a packed club on a Saturday night don't go making requests to the DJ, it's not the right time. Go early and feed dollars into the jukebox if you want to pick out the songs, right now I'm actually paying attention to every second of the music and layering songs on top of each other so when you come talk to me you fuck it up for all the other people who are enjoying themselves.

If I don't tell you, no one will."

dropped the song back in and no more request for the rest of the night, it was great. killed it.

funny thing is the last guy stuck around the booth after I made that announcement and still came up to talk to me. Right off the bat, I was "I just said no requests on the mic." Luckily, despite me being an asshole, the guy wanted to know my DJ name and asked me for a business card.

Then I did something I thought I was only capable of when I was drunk, except I was stone cold sober. I pulled down the music completely and got on the mic.

"Yo, if you come into a packed club on a Saturday night don't go making requests to the DJ, it's not the right time. Go early and feed dollars into the jukebox if you want to pick out the songs, right now I'm actually paying attention to every second of the music and layering songs on top of each other so when you come talk to me you fuck it up for all the other people who are enjoying themselves.

If I don't tell you, no one will."


can i get a recording of that to use throughout the night?
DJ Dub Cowboy 10:44 PM - 25 October, 2010
the trick is turning off the music and when everybody looks back at you to see what is going on you bellow this through the whole bar.
DJGifted1 1:11 AM - 26 October, 2010
I was djing a high school house party.

and normally i dont care that people come up an request,i always say if i have it i will play it.

but this one dude just kept on and on about dude play (whatever track), would keep coming back, he gave me some crap about how he dj's too.

Normally i dont let anyone(unless part of the crew) take over the decks. But this dude needed a lesson.

I let him take over, and all his friends basically booed his ass off the decks. He played some dub step/techno crap. couldnt mix, had no timing and couldnt get 1 person to dance.

i got back on the decks - put in Be Faithful - and they went nuts.

I have been asked to do that party every year for the last 4 years, the dude hasnt come back since.


I also unplugged my gear and left mid-way a gig. gave the dude his money back, and bounced.

Him: Hey, can you switch the music up a little? I'm just not feeling this.
Me: Anything you have in mind?
Him: Got any Lady GaGa?
Me: No, sorry, not on me [nor within 50 feet of my collection, for that matter].
Him: It's just that... I'm not feeling this at all!
Me: (shrug) Oh well, that's OK! (as if he was apologizing)

Then I pop the headphones back on and ignore him. He was right up dancing after his next drink anyway.

Had some high schooler tell me this the other day. Never heard of Serato, Traktor or Ableton. Thought DEEJAY and Virtual DJ was just the most amazing thing ever. Said turntables were gay and had never heard of a CDJ or midi controller. I facepalmed and just continued mixing to a packed floor.

I dont usually dj drunk but i had been out early beofre work on a saturday night, i set up still tipsy and started playing, the owner had a microphone as a party were in and he wanted me to do a anouncment... anyways i carried on drinking and was getting request after request... i then slurred over the mic that i would take every song request but change the song instantly to cater to everyone, after four songs of approximatly 10 seconds each a guy came up to me and said can you stop taking requests... i took his request and realised playing drunk was not a good idea!! never done it since!

WTF? First of all, BSB? Second of all, dont point that crooked @$$ finger AT ME and bark an order at the DJ like he is only playing FOR YOU.

Last night...

"So you use a laptop huh?"
"yep"
"heard limewire got shut down?, you'd get you're music from there right?"

after explaining exactly why I wouldn't get music off there he got pretty interested in how I had so much music if I'd actually payed for it.

Same night...
"Yo, I need that Barbra Streisand" (this is during dinner)
I was just playing some slower RnB as background music and told him I'd get to it when dinner was over. He then proceeded to sit at the first table in front of me and give me dirty looks for every successive song that wasn't it and yell out to me "where is it?"
About 5 songs later he's got everyone at the table just yelling out "Barbra Streisand" every couple of minutes.
After I had to make an announcement about something I added "just to shut this guy up" and slammed the crossfader over.

Usually I wouldn't give in to people like that put my patience was not there. Especially after he kept repeating "you don't even have it do you" like it was some secret track that only he knew.

Same Day different event:
Someone came up and asked for teenage crime, I knew I had it and said I'd play it. When I went to a bit later I noticed the file was corrupt (think I pulled the USB key out mid transfer)
When he came back later I explained that to him and he started trying to find a million ways for me to play it. "you have bluetooth, hook it to my phone and I'll stream it" when I said no, "oh, just use WiFi then to hook up to my phone" When I said no "just download it now then, it's easy to get on torrents...you DO use torrents right?"

Ingo B 5:01 PM - 1 November, 2010
Thanks. So now, at least for me, knowing what DTF means is a nontroversy, unlike my pre-gig dinner experience where the waitress wore the same costume as last year - it was deja boo all over again! I mean, what the actual fuck? And the food wasn't that great - subprime rib at best, but still fattening. Spent 50 min on Sunday climbing the organic stairmaster.

I think 50 cent "In Da Club" is now considered old school. "Jamboree" (while a great choice BTW) is old school. Wait, should we have a seperate category "Classic" vs "Old School" whereas old school might be a lesser known track, and classic, well is classic. Thoughts?

+1, I've been in similar situations.

You basically have to look at who's requesting it. More often than not, if it's a dude, then I no speak americano, he just wants to act stupid with his "bros", ladies on the other hand don't usually have ulterior motives, they just like want something they can like dance to.

Why did I just write that, we should all know it. I've had too much coffee thus far. Sorry, I don't feel like deleting what I just typed. Damn there I go again, babbling, STOP IT!!

Tonight was interesting.

A guy approached the booth, he had asked for a couple of tracks not long before...

Guy: I have kind of an obscure request
Me: go for it
Guy: do you know anyone selling any pills
Me: No-one tends to tell me if they are 'cause I'm one of the owners of this club
Guy: Oh! shit...erm...sorry...erm...ha ha...I was kidding...erm shit shit.
Me: I'll pretend I didn't hear you and you go enjoy your night.

He spent the rest of the night apologising and trying to buy me drinks.

A girl comes up and asks for a song, I tell her I'll try and fit it in when I can, she heads to the bar, about 95 seconds later she is back...

Girl: Excuse me I asked for Crashdïet In The Raw and it hasn't been played yet.
Me: I know and the song playing just now is the same song that was playing when you requested your song about 2 mins ago.
Girl: So when is my song coming on?
Me:: I told you I would fit it in when I got to that style it won't fit with what I'm playing just now.
Girl: So how long is it going to be.
Me: (looking at screen) It's 3 minutes and 46 seconds long, unless you want the remix (smiles)
Girl: what?
Me: I'll get it on soon
Girl: How far away is it?
Me: (pointing at external drive) it's over there in that silver box.
Girl: what? look we are leaving so play it now.
Me: Sorry I'm playing requests for people that are staying all night.
Girl: what if I give you a fiver.
Me: nah, you are ok keep it.

I went through this same conversation with her 7 times tonight.

Then I had the guy who wouldn't believe me that the song he was asking for didn't exist and that he was getting the name wrong, he kept telling me it was his favourite song even though he could tell me what album it was on, and eventually he got his phone out and googled it only to find out I was right, fucking pantera fans.

I need a drink.

"lets all go up one at a time, after eachother and request the same song"

I had a crew of about 8, each one seconds after the other requests for Black & Yellow
(the club made it very clear to stay in the uptempo top40/remix area...as usual.

my answer all 8 times...
Sorry, this club doesent really allow me to play that...good song though.


Not that its the best song...by any stretch....
but sometimes I feel more guilty when someone requests something good,
and you handcuffed by the format or the vibe the room is in right at that moment.

sometimes there are are songs that you know will get a huge response but the manager of the place won't allow you to play it. I hate that but they [the manager(s)] sign the checks.

OK, first post in this thread, been reading it for ages ;-)

Many many years ago (early 90's) the club i played at installed computerized tap and fridges (was quite new back then).
The owner found out he could look up a graph of how much was being spent at the bar in 15 mins increments.

One morning he came to me with a printout of the graph of that night and pointed out a huge spike in money being spent at around 1am 1:15am. He concluded that the music that was being played at that moment put that spike there.

Owner: Play the music you played at that moment all night long next time!
Me: No problem, slows all night it is ...
Owner: Huh?
Me: That's the time slot for the slows, a lot of people are very thirsty from dancing hard before the slows. They run for the bar to get a drink when the slows drop.
Owner: OK, keep it up ...

Yes, I admit, slows were being played there back then ;-)
Always kinda remember that story ...

Aren't clubs/bars obligated to pay for music licensing as it is? Most don't, so they're already pushing the boundries of legality. Wouldn't limewiring be the ultimate backbreaker then?

I'd just tell them they could go to jail. That'd probably wipe that s---eating grin off their faces real quick.

Isn't the whole point of music licensing for bars that no matter where the music came from, royalties are getting paid? Isn't that why all these record pools give us promo music "exclusively for use at venues that are paying royalties"...

If you would have seen how they looked on the floor, just the two of them, and when he put it on the crowd i had left on the floor all looked at the booth and just sat down. the other guys i had with me were laughin thier asses off, and then to boot the music goes silent when the song goes off, and we here him trying to convince her to go around back, man that ish was so funny.

No indiction of which band, or song. This got me thinking, was that the last time he was out in a club?

He came back up later to remind me that I hadn't played his song, I asked what it was, his reply: Surely you must remember it was the song I first danced with my wife to on the night we met.

I just nodded

let me paint the the scene before you look at the picture below.

booked for back to back gigs
630pm to 2am with a 30 minute break for the club to reset at 930 (which was actually 10mins)

so, 630 to 930 was great
but no one left... so we were pre packed for our 1030 crowd.
so at 11 we were capped, wall to wall...

party was in full swing, going through a steady diet of your typical open format video.

midnight.
girl walks up.
can I make a request
of course, whats up.
pulls this out of her pocket: sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net

its my friends birthday....can you play all these next?

yeah.... it wasnt so much the actual songs....(as we know )

but the idea that they sat in their VIP booth and wrote it out.
or...even worse...were at home and thinking this out



This happened to me:

Dude: Can I req a song?
Me: Yeah, write it down

10 mins later:
Can I req a song?
Me: Yeah, write it down

5 mins later:
Same due: Can I req another song?
Me: Again? Write it down.

10 mins later:
Same dude: I have another request..
Me: Dude, why don't you write down a whole page of requests and hand it to me, instead of you asking me all the time for a nother paper and another request??
Dude: Hmmm.

At that point I thought I effed him up enough so that he doesn't ever bother me again.


A week later... beginning of the night, I just started to spin. Dude from last week turns up, hands me a paper.

Me: What's that?
Moron: You told me to write down a whole list with all my requests. Here it is. Play them.
Me: *WTF-face*

And it was a *full* page all with requests.
At least he could have written something down which was *not* on my regular playlist for that spot. Doh! ;)

I had the same thing recently, a full A4 page, 3 columns, in alphabetical order, 102 songs. 98 of which were shit.
jwagner 5:32 AM - 15 November, 2010
I love when people come up with 3 or more songs and proceed to dictate in which order and when to play each.

Its like, look you're lucky if you have one request and it gets played let alone multiple ones. I don't play any of them when people come up with that false sense of entitlement.

this was a buddy of mine, and he knows of all the dj pet peves, but he proceded to do this anyways:

gave me a cd with about a half hour mix of house music that he mixed in cool edit 2.0 (quite horribly i might add...), and then a bunch of WMA files, with a .rtf file that had instructions on how he wanted me to mix them. i'm talking what bars to mix in on, what MM:SS to mix out on, mf'n gain levels?!? i'm pretty sure he just drove 10 miles to mess with me. which one of you guys put him up to this?

Dj-M.Bezzle 3:38 PM - 15 November, 2010
Had a good one this last weekend and it was SOOO much more than a comment LOL.

Background

Had an ok night fri night but forgot my phone in my coffin (i have a setup i just leave up there so i dont have to lug it back and forth). So I wake up in the morning and realise i forgot it and think ok noone important has any reason to call me ill just get it tonight because i get there before people go walking through there anyway so noone will be able to grab it. I get there and theres like 100 people on the balcony, i walk up to the balcony to go in and hear people bitching about the dj, i walk in and theres a guy on my turntables (i know the guy but thats beside the point) djing horribly to an empty dancefloor. So i do what any of us would do and start harnessing my chi to throw a fucking hon-du-ken fireball across the room incinarating anyone in its path when the owner comes running out appologising for letting dude use my shit but apparently there was a sweet 16 booked that she neglected to give me ANY notice on. She thought it would be fine to just txt me at 8 am of the morning OF the party to let me know to be there 3 hours early and when i didnt text her back she realised that was MY phone by the setup and since i didnt get the message she had to imprivise and let this other guy spin till i got there, she then tells me to hurry up and get him off stage cause he sucks. I get up there and dude is relieved as fuck because as he put it "hes a techno dj and he dosent take requests and he dosent play any of this rap crap they keep asking for" so he shuts off his laptop and heads out. While im powering on mine the Bday girl walks up and asks....(get ready for it)..... "I hope your better than that last DJ all he had was techno crap WE WANT SOME REAL N___A MUSIC". Now mind you this chick is blonde hair blue eyed white as bread looks like holly from girls next door and there isnt a minority in the room, the entire room looks like their dressed for a jersey shore look alike party. So i throw on the some of the radio edited videos for all the hot garbage i know these kids like and the owner coems up and asks me to watch the language, i laugh and tell her this IS the edited version but watch this, i cut the music and the ENTIRE FLOOR of 14 to 17 year olds starts screaming the uncensored lyrics LOL. I tell her i can play nonexplicit songs all day but she gave me an explicit crowd and thats outta my control LOL.

Oh and to top the night off theres a couch and a few chairs on stage next to the booth, kinda a vip section where a bunch of them were sitting, this young ass chick in a dress that was probably intended by the designer to be a shirt comes and sits in one of the chairs, chick looks uncomfortable as fuck, then gets up and leaves. Then i hear everyone near me laughing so i look over............smeared blood stain in the chair where she was sitting....ya, i m telling you you cant make this shit up

So tired of Beyonce's song... we should take a poll and place bets on what will be most requested.

My favorite one the other day... With a floor full of people dancing to 70-80 bpm hip hop, about 15 mins before close (the biggest peak)..

"Can you play some Tiesto?"

"What, like Tiesto & Three Six, like Feel It?"

"No, do you have <insert obscure Tiesto song>?"

"No, I have Adagio 4 Strings, but I don't take requests in the last half hour of the night."

I do a lot of weddings, but my favorite are high school dances where some young 15-17 year-olds come and ask for "Shots" by LMFAO or any other alcoholic, drug, or down and dirty sex songs. I usually don't talk to them - my wife does. She told one girl that if she keeps listening to that kind of music, she'll be knocked up and on the streets by graduation. The girl's friends stood back, laughed, and told her that she should dump [boyfriend] before he "impregnates" her and leaves her ass in the gutter. I was dying when I heard that. My wife got a high-five from one of the friends!

Last sat. I did a gig with a folding table in the open. An older couple "late 60's"walked up and the guy litterally put his foot up on the table and retied his shoe. Of course its hard to not blow up on an elderly couple but damn. I found it in me to hold the table and just shake my head without saying anything. Maybe I should have let the table fall and make him write out a check. Only problem is technics are a little bit harder to come by. Now I know how it felt for bush to get a shoe thrown at him.

I had that a couple of years ago at a small company christmas party I was doing. I don't remember if she asked me or just took it. Either way at the end of the night she tried to leave with it. When I went to get it her response was "why can't you just buy another one?"

Love the coat check/drink comments!!! Especially when there is a coat check available for $1. I have also been asked to WATCH their drink for them while they dance.

Had an all time classic sat, i show up a tad bit late, so my openers takin care of business. Its a private party before club hours so its packed kinda early. The openers bombn playing dubstep to a crowd who has NO idea what to make of it (40+ year old southern white rednecks) So i throw on a CD hook up the laptop, make the announcement that im about to get the party goin and drop cupid shuffle. I see a bunch of girls light up and they run to the floor. As they start the dance a lady walks up to me and says "Can you play something we know? You cant dance to this play something we can dance to" as the entire crowd is doing the shuffle.

So more of a question than a story:

Usually, when drunk chicks get a little too close to the gear, I check them (gently) usually by touching or holding the body part in violation (i.e. hold their hand, touch their upper arm, lean in reeeally close so they instinctively back off, etc). This past wknd, a particluarly endowed female neared killed my needle with her chest. I ended up awkwardly pushing her shoulder away. Wondering what you guys would have done.

thats fucked up... but i like it... lol

i use to have the same problem, i maced him with dog mace once then kicked the lil bastard in the snout as he was trying to take my heel off when i was riding my bike, they had to put him down because he bit some other kids a couple times...

so our bedroom window is 15 feet from our neighbors back door, so there dog runs out and barks for hours every morning. i got one of those ultrasonic dog bark things off of amazon and it worked great, so i got another one for the other side of the house... so the past few mornings and nights the dog has been barking for no reason what so ever even though the dog thing is going off, so i grabbed the second unit from the other side of the house and have them both aimed at the dog, it took him one bark to shut up again. then this morning he was out barking again, and i looked out the window, his owner (crazy lady) was barking at the dog and getting him to bark back and saying good dog after each time... are you fucking kidding me... now that we are completely off topic...

i would, but its not worth starting a war up, the dog bark things worked great for a year or so... our other neighbor had 5 yappie bastards shut up the day that i got the second one, and the neighbors are non the wiser, and don't get me started on the crazy lady feeding the stray cats, i skidded though my yard last night trying to run one of the little fuckers over, it was worth getting yelled at by the pregger wife, she was pissed but i scared the shit out of that cat.

this Saturday:

pretty busy for 1030 pm (playing for 30 minutes now)
early we always start with top 40 remixes of the chic-friend variety.

then by 1130 it packs up to cap and where ever the night takes me, ya know?

so Im like what... maybe 8 songs in (after some Wynter Gordon, Paradiso girls, Old Rhianna [specifically, disturbia....ect ect ect) and this girl walks up with the stink puss...

"ya know...theres other cultures in here?"
>Undercutters?
"Other cultures!"
>Cultures...are they shooting a Benaton ad or something upstairs...
"no, other cultures than white..."
> ok...I guess thats a compliment to this espablishment...Ill be sure and tell the mgr
"BIG STINK PUSS"
>what...was there a song u wanted to hear...or do you just update the staff on
the racial climate in nightclubs"
"play something I know"
::::interjection::::
as we all know I could have just said sure, and it would have ended...but anyone who
knows me, knows I like to pull the raw meat from the lions mouth
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::
>I dont know you, Im not psychic...why dont you come back when you can nail
it down to one song rather than stereotyping an entire race of people based on
their musical selection.

walks away...
about 2 songs later...
"Will you please play some rhianna? (in the sweetest, nicest voice ever)"
>Sure, anything in particular?
"no...anything"
>you do know when u came up a few minutes ago I was playing disturbia.
"you were.....Im sorry I just dont have good luck with white djs"
>you and me both...

laughs...alls right in the world.

I'm spinning at a booth at a convention...playing El Tiburon (130bpm).

A middle-aged lady walks up and says:

"Can you play something faster?"

Me: Uhh, it doesn't get much faster than this.

"Well can you play something in English?"

Me: Sure

"Oh, do you have any French music?"

Me: ...speechless..
Tommy-V 9:59 AM - 9 December, 2010
Last weekend ...

The DJ booth is adjacent to the bar, so I often get people trying to order drinks at the booth, always pointing them to the bar or waiters and having them look at the very expensive equipment that I'm using (that doesn''t work well with drinks being poured over or in it)

Guy (waving a €50 bill): "Hey!"
Me (thinking wow big tip for a request): "Yes?"
Guy: "3 vodka cola's!"
Me (pointing at the waiters): "Please ask the waiters"
Guy (still at me): "3 VODKA COLA'S!!!"
Me: "Dude, order at the bar, this is the DJ booth!"
Guy (at this point actually giving me the finger): "FUCK YOU, 3 VODKA COLA'S!!!"

Now I layed down my headphones, ripped his €50 out of his hands, started yelling really loud at him ginving him a very large piece of my mind and threw the money back in his face ...

Sometimes you can't believe how stupid, arrogant or persistent some people are ...

Not really a request but a good story-
Staying at a apartment with a fellow dj in FL. We like to put the 15 inch mains out on the patio deck third floor cause the people swimming at the pool love to hear it. But this one sweetheart and her boyfriend at about 11:30 at night jumps out of the hot tube and are screaming at us "turn that shit off!" So of course we point the mains at her so she can really FEEL the music...... The next day we get a knock on the door. I say "Hi mam can I help you?" she says " Yea you can pack your shit because I'm the manager at this apartment complex!"

OB One 7:34 PM - 13 December, 2010
I had easily the most ridiculous night of requests this past Saturday. Let me set the scene:

Medium sized bar (Capacity 435) in downtown Boston (Faneuil Hall area). Crowd is usually good, mixed crowd ages usually range from 21-25. I general keep it pretty baseline when I’m booked there. Top40, Hip Hop, little bit of house, reggae, and old stuff.

First I get a text at 7:30 that theirs a party of 250 that rented out the upstairs and wanted to know if I could come in early because their was no music. I said yea sure and got there and had music going bout an hour early (at 9). Party was a lil bit older, consisting of mostly 30 something’s so I played a lot of 90s and mainstream pop hits and they loved me. Come ten o’clock their floor opened to the public and this is when the gates of patron request hell opened. The party who was obviously having a good time and wanted to stay came up with request after request after request after request. Here are some examples:

- “Black and Yellow” (10x before 10:30, 10x after I played it)
- “No hands” (10x before 10:30, 10x after I played it)
- “G6” (15x before 10:30)
- “Play some merengue”
- “Play some Jamacian Music”
- “Play some Christmas music”
- “Why don’t you look like your having fun?”

The all time kicker was this chick that came up to me at around 12:30. Expecting another “Black and Yellow” request I rolled my eyes:

“Yea, do you have a request”
(Mouths something, cant hear her)
“What?"
“Napkins”
“Huh?”
“Napkins!”
“WHAT?!?”
“DO YOU HAVE ANY NAPKINS?!”

Facepalm.

Ive had the most funky crowds at my spot these past few months. Ive had everything in this thread said to me at least 3 times in a night. Its a touristy spots bar/club so every week its a different crowd. Its tough man.

Last Friday the new manager at my spot comes in and says.. what the hell, your still using vinyl????? I then spent the next ten minutes explaining to him what serato was. He still didnt get it so I then did a quick juggle and told him to look at the laptop screen. He was kinda taken back, but still kept coming by giving me the eye all night like I was lying to him or some shit...

It was about 1:40 into the track and the whole club was singing along from the first word... That was last week!
Last night i got: "Can you play some dubstep" while i was toying around with Game Over by Datsik and Flux Pavillion and another track...
And the list goes on! Some ppl are just pure entertainment for me! Either too drunk or totally retarded!

What would you all do in this situation? Last night I did a corporate party on a yacht for about 200 people, a lot of them in their late 20's early 30's - but also the older CEO and Presidents, Vice Presidents, etc.

I'm playing more recent stuff at the beginning (throwing in some older stuff like Michael Jackson, Prince, etc., trying to avoid the typical Brick House, Play That Funky Music, Get Down On It stuff) - and this late 40-something guy rudely comes up and says "can you play some oldier funkier stuff that the older people can dance too? There are older people here too!".

Would you guys give in and start playing the typical wedding stuff? (I guess corporate parties are like weddings?)

At the same party, a young girl, I think she was a senior in high school, asks me to play Black and Yellow and I told her it might not fit the crowd considering I was told to play older music, and she tell me she's the CEO's daughter and she brought a few of her friends and they want to dance to Black and Yellow. Do you play it???

Worst part was I ended up playing Brick House (and a set of those cheesy songs) because I thought the guy who asked for older music was a big shot there (and then found out he was just some random dude in the IT department), and the crowd loved it - I don't get it because a lot of the younger people were still on the dance floor loving it.

And no, I didn't play Black and Yellow - that probably would have been a disaster.

Just wondering how you guys handle these requests and corporate parties like this. They seem to be just like weddings.

I also realized I play requests I like and mysteriously run out of time with requests that I don't like.

Corporate gigs are almost exactly like weddings. Mixed ages, playing older stuff, etc. Also, it's more customer service oriented, so you just have to smile and say "I'll fit that in soon!"

As for the really modern stuff, it's usually a bad idea - the 6 young chicks will dance to it while the older folks will grumble. I had this happen at a corporate christmas party, and when the young chick asked me for something modern, I said "everytime I play something like that, the floor clears except for you and your four friends." She nodded and walked off.

I think if you are a working dj, eventually you are going to be playing something you really don't care for. Some people dj for money, some for playing music they like, some for chicks, but some (like me) dj for thrill of rocking the crowd. So what, we play some britney (occasioanlly), Katy Perry, some random 80s songs, rock, whatever works. We're having fun and we get paid for this...

meh, almost all of Duck Sauce's stuff have been beefed up re-edits of old tunes so i wouldn't really expect any different.

oh yea, and just to actually add to the thread - doing a corporate party and it's at the dancing portion. Some asshole comes up and pulls the "your music sucks - play something to get the party started" which is pretty standard - and then ended it with "like the Doobie Brothers! That'll get people going"

I just sort of looked at him, said "you're right, the music does suck" (was playing Stereo Love - what a shit song) "but i guarantee doobie brothers is not going to appeal to this mainly 20-something crowd."

2 minutes later, he was dancing to Usher - go figure.

but yea, the only reason I play shitty music is for the money straight up.

very well said. i agree with him. although, i'll add this... you don't HAVE to check your artistry at the door. there are always creative ways to present music, even if it's not your favorite kind of music. also, there are gems hidden in almost any era and genre and the more time you spend preparing for your gigs and searching out new music, the less likely you are to have to play stereotypically awful music.

What you play represents you... I dont care what someone wants me to play, If the music choice is going to misrepresent me and make me look bad to the other 99% of people. Not happening. I dont care if the tip is large or the person paying the cash demands it. You build your image on what you play and how you play it. Make a fake request list add their choice and say I will try to get to your song. If they are drinking they will forget soon enough.

In an article with Los Angeles Times, he mentions that secrecy over the whereabouts of raves is what made raving special, and different from the mainstream.

I acutually ran into an interesting situation with this last weekend, long story short we were insanley packed at the time we normally close, the owner didnt want to shut it down just yet but didnt want the crowd to keep growing as a few problems were starting to pop up from having so many people in such a confined space, not to mention being kinda understaffed for that size corwd. so i get word from the top to literally start playing some "bad" music so that the crowd would thin out a bit, so im playing for a very urban crowd whos lovin all the under 80 BPM wayne\plies\gucci\jeezy that im playing so i make the obvious choice to tran up into some more top 40 ish to kill off some of the crowd.....didnt work, so then i moved into playing some house and breaks lol, crowd was PISSSED i had a line of people longer than the line to get in tring to request songs and tell me what i needed to be playing.

It was an EXTREMLEY awkward situation because I have all these people who are assuming that i just dont know what the hell im doing and their requesting all these songs that would work GREAT for that crowd and that i would love to be playing but it would have the opposite effect that the person paying me wants to happen at the moment, but i couldnt just out and tell them that im basically trying to make them leave lol, i cant just say yes I realise that how low or lose my mind would work alot better than the duck sauce - barbra striesand that im playing right now...but then youd stay and id be in trouble

Joshua Carl 9:15 PM - 20 December, 2010
one of the things I try to do is "side" with requst'ee

sometimes Ill get a request for a great song, but its not whats on the menu for that night...
perfect example.
I had a xmas party 2 weeks ago, corporate.... "dont worry...these people never dance"
the challenge was issued.

granted, i wont even attempt to take credit...this was the first time they had open bar..and when i asked why they got rid of the usual dj, they said he died in the off season....serious....I gathered he was like 60.

so, party in full swing (7pmto12am)
very cute polite girl comes asks for some 90s rock @ 1130.
at this point im in hammer mode dropping every top40 bomb from the last 10
years...and its one of those "u cant mess this up, no matter how hard u try" vibes
So, I said (regretable) what did u have in mind?
I dont know...The Cure, Pearl Jam, NIN, counting crows...?
rolling eyes.... you know this IS a Holiday party right?
we dont want people going home depressed...
<insert the typical...please, come one, everyone will love it ect ect>

cue the switch.
I bring her around the booth and open my rock crate (which has all that stuff from me personal collection) I basically told her how much i loved that music, I listen to it all the time (which is true) basically ending my position as the DJ in her eyes
and becoming a co-conspiritor WITH her...
I then said...well, what If i drop a big 90s pop track and a fun rock remix or something.....done & done.

granted it was alot easier to enjoy myself in this situation becuase i wasnt in
workhorse mode (like in the clubs) and she was easy on the eyes.
had it been a dude, i probably would have told his lame self to fuck right off with the grunge...
after dropping the cheesiest of the cheese...
and she promissed to "lobby" to have me back next year...which helped because
the next AM I booked the same patry again next year.

I ended dropping a like a prayer edit, and then a bon jovi edit....gangbusters.
dont judge me.... theres a good reason why we all get paid so much for mobile work!

What does a time of my life sample with auto tune vocals have to do with rave music besides the bpm range? :-)
Maybe he even likes it and is into but my point is, his musical output has more to do with commercial intentions than with artistic expression.
Joshua Carl 10:47 PM - 20 December, 2010
well.... we dont "KNOW" that for an undisputable fact.
and even if we did.... HE'D NEVER ADMIT TO IT!

BEP, always made their music on the "party", "fun loving" side of things...
back when they first dropped alot of the music that was bumpin everywhere
was in the 88-105 bpm range with a hiphop feel. alot of tracks about dancing and
part'ing and such....
enter estero and macy gray singing their hooks at the turn of the century.

now, gears have shifted, and party music is mostly in the 118-130 range.
and they are living there.

while I wont argue that they did or didnt "sell out"
they are selling out arenas, and selling albums....and they havent changed
that much....Its not like they went from Jurrasic5 to Flo-rida

I also don't really buy the BEP selling out idea but believe it was always their goal to sell a lot of records. Their production value has always been high--perhaps they were just playing a sound you were more of a fan of?

I was given an opportunity to be an IT Project Manager, and I took it. I'm 31 years old and am enjoying success in my new role.

I am married with one child, and my wife fully supports me in pursuing my passion, however this passion has high startup costs. With current student loans, mortgage, auto loans, and the holiday season, we have been unable to save up the necessary funds to get this passion going. I've been able to get a new laptop which I'll be using with my turntables, but I'm still short of some key equipment.

Is this some sort of Joke?

The quick answer: No.
I know how hard it is to secure a good DJ for events, and from my interactions with other DJ's, I also know how hard it is to get started DJing. Fortunately, I've been able to get plenty of practice from Dj's such as Sharpsound (Transit Lounge), DJ CAB (Sigefredo's, Karu & Y), so rather than wait any longer, I thought I'd try out a win-win promo and see where it gets me. Funds will be used to purchase the following:
1 - Serato SL1
2 - Technics Turntables
1 - Vestax Pro Mixer
2 - JBL Speakers with built in Amp
1 - JBL Subwoofer
2 - Shure Needles and carrying cases

If you have any of this equipment and would like to donate, That would be excellent too!!

Lol people really have a lot of nerve to be trying to raise money for a better setup than half of the people on these forums.

Hey guys I have a college degree and a job but my money is going towards what 98% of what everyone else has to pay for too, you know car, mortgage, all that stuff. Can you give me $25 $50 or $150 dollars so I can buy a better setup than most of you?

It's Christmas so I hope you're feeling generous because I really need it because I'm passionate about djing. The kids who don't have food on the table, and people who can't afford medical treatment can wait til after I raise my $2400.

1992–1997: Becoming the Black Eyed Peas
The Black Eyed Peas date back to 1988, when eighth-graders Rodrigo Mansilla (Mans.an.illa) and Allan Pineda (apl.de.ap) met and began rapping and performing together around Los Angeles. The pair signed to Ruthless Records (run by Eazy-E) in 1992 catching the attention of Eazy-E manager, Jerry Heller's, nephew. Along with another friend of theirs, Dante Santiago, they called their trio Atban Klann (ATBAN: A Tribe Beyond a Nation). Their debut album, Grass Roots, was never released because Ruthless did not consider the positive themes and peaceful lyrics to be attractive [no source cited for this claim].

After Eazy-E died in 1995, Atban Klann reformed and changed their name to Black Eyed Pods, and then Black Eyed Peas. Dante Santiago was replaced with Jaime Gomez (Taboo), Kim Hill became a steady background singer. Unlike many hip-hop acts, they chose to perform with a live band and adopted a musical and clothing style that differed wildly from the "Gangsta Rap" sounds of other Los Angeles-based hip-hop acts at the time. Through the mid-1990s, they performed in the local club circuit alongside fellow acts as Ozomatli and Jurassic 5

I was DJ'ing a winter formal for this charter high school here in Chicago last Friday. First thing I noticed as all the kids showed up is all the girls would go straight to the bathroom & change out of their regular jeans & t-shirts into super short mini-skirts (there was only two chaperons at this dance, no parents, no teachers). It almost seemed like they were having a contest to see who could have the shortest skirt or the sexiest outfit!
As the night goes on a bunch of the kids kept asking for juke/ghetto house music but since most of it is pretty raunchy I kept telling them "I'll play it later". After a few hours one of the chaperons (& the person actually paying me) asks me to play some juke, I ask her "are you sure? It's pretty raunchy & the kids are already kind of dancing freaky" (I was playing reggaeton at the time). She says "they are good kids, I'm sure they will behave themselves"...
Once I started playing it the dance floor looked like a skin-a-max flick! The same chaperon ran back to me a few minutes into it & asked me to change the music so she could break them up!
Kool DJ Sheak One 5:52 PM - 24 December, 2010

back at my old school dances, the teachers would put paper bags between the kids so they wouldn't touch each other. But when the dj played "Me So Horny" (the hit at the time)them bags didn't do shit!

dj Rasta Redge 11:41 PM - 29 December, 2010
Wow! This one takes the cake in my career so far!

We had 3 guest Dj's ,and 1 MC at my residency club last night, big show!
So we set up the whole thing on stage instead of having all that in the Dj booth witch is almost across the room from each other.
I'm sitting in the booth taking care of the sound, got a beer in hand and the whole booth is empty apart from the mixing board for the bar sound. This girl comes up to me and ask:
"Would you mind playing (didn't even ear what song) for me?"
I just looked at her and said in a really blunt way:
"Do you see turntables or a computer in front of me? I am not even playing tonight!"
She just looked at me, looked at the counter and said: " C'mon, please? can you play this song?"
Then i just asked: "What was the first thing you saw coming in?" (stage is in plain view of the door)
Girl :" 2 guys on stage"
Me" Exactly! its is a F@#$%^& show tonight! and if my tables are up there, how could i be playing your song?!"

The best part is that she walked to the stage to ask the guy to play her song... Dude looked at her and told her it is a label party, no top 40, Just breaks, electro, house, etc from their label. After her bitching and giving the classic "You are the worst Dj ever" She got told to fuck off and go home. 5 minutes later she's on the dance floor having the time of her life... Dumb bit#&!!!!

Oh man i had a night for the books last night, im playing dougie, then back it up and dump it and this dumb bitch comes up and goes "I dont know this this sucks can you play something I know" i inform her that im a DJ not a Physic so shell have to be more specific, so she kinda pushes past me and inspector gadget ducks the elbow meant to take her head off and she looks at my list and asks to see my top 10 list, i tell her im also not a radio station and begin to feel bad for not being more diverse in my talents as obviously other djs in my area are riding unicycles and breathing fire at their sets. Finally she gets pissy and says "Just play some new rap thats all i dance to.....do you have that new song that goes stummin he hair with her finnnngers"......I look at her like WTF you have to be kidding...FUGEES KILLING ME SOFTLY?? YA THATS IT


Ya she qualified killling me softly by the fugees as new rap you can dance to

So she grabs the mic and starts WAILING like she can sing, i snatch the mic back and let the song run then mix into drop it low i think, floor fills back up (theres only like 6 people in the club at this point) and she runs out and starts "dancing" and trying to dance battle people...only problem is the bitch cant fucking dance she just flailing about like shes having a seisure and a panic attack at once.

So im fighting the urge to call the paramedics and go on with my set, i play no hands, go short go, my own step and black and yellow.

While black and yellow is playing she comes back up to the dj booth (and im not playing or exagorating here) and says "I already know what your gonna say your gonna say you dont have it but can you play that song that goes black and yellow black and yellow black and yellow then go shorty go annnnnnnnnddddd girl the way you do it do it with no haaaaaannndddsss"

......I just looked at her in disbelief, not only do i have it ITS THE SONG PLAYING RIGHT NOW and you just names the last 3 songs I played.

So she looks pissy at me and goes well i didnt hear them, so i tell her "BULLSHIT you didnt hear them theres only 6 fucking people in here and you have been on the damn dance floor for the last 30 minutes you danced to each of these"

She just starred at me liek she was about to attack and mumbles that shes drunk and wandered off

Wow...do you realize "Real Love" came out in 1992? That's almost 20 years ago. Assuming the avg club-goer is 25, that puts them in kindergarten when that song hit. Amazing how time flies. Also amazing how well those songs (esp rap and R&B) hold up to this day.

real love is not that much better than the rnb being made now... there are plenty of songs made in the last few years that can hold up. there was a lot of crap music made then too... 15 years from now people will be saying the same thing.

I play at a Jamaican Bar/Rest on Friday nights. Regge, Dncehall, R&B and Hip Hop. It's about eleven and crowd is starting to get dancing. i"m starting to speed it up. Drunk woman, had to be pushing mid 50's says she has a cougar rush on Justin Bieber and asked me to play "Baby". I asked if she was really serious. She requested that song about 5 more times before the night was over.

early in the night, letting some groovy house tracks play through on auto while I mess with the lights (sound/light tech was off that night). Literally only two people in the bar, come RUNNING to the booth

her: since we're the only paying customers here, can you play some requests
me: sure, what would you like to hear
her & him: hmmmmmm, I don't know. do you have any Korean music
me: no. I'm really just letting songs play while I get the lights set up
her: yeah, but, it's like, house music
me: errr, ok , well I can play some hip-h...
her: NO!!!
me: Ooooo-K
him: well, what's hot right now
me: I'll wait till it's busy to play that stuff
him: well, you choose then, you know what your doing. What do you like to listen to.
me: well, I doubt management wants me to play funk and 80s RnB
him: sure, that would be fine
*leave booth to play with lights*

20 mins later...

her: can you play some Drake!

So much mind-numbing conversation. What gets me the most is the need to sprint to the dj booth and make a request, but then have NO CLUE as to what they wanna her. "why don't you choose" ??? wooowww

I did a wedding for my friends sister. Me DJ'n was a gift to her from him (she didnt know about it in advance). She had actually planned out most of the music, and i was pretty impresed.

i used like 50% of her songs and mixed them up a little, but for no experience I thought she did an ok job...

now using the reception centers house system and iTunes would have pretty much sucked.

I have a couple of regulars that can only make it to the club once a month and they turn up as the doors open with a list, and they will dance on their own as the club is slowly filling up. It saves me from thinking for the first 40 mins or so.

I think that people are use to having people do their best to be polite and kiss ass for tips and return business. What they dont realize is that a lot of DJ's get stupid requests and are sarcastic by nature... What a rude awakening some people get.

$1 for 15 songs? a jukebox costs more than that... can barely get a pack of gum for $1 I cant even get soda for $1, and they think you're going to play 15 songs? I dont have the paticience to sit through 15 songs. I may actually make them mad and play the chorus of each song... then when they come back i'd let them know that they got $10 worth so to not complain.

In all fairness, it wasn't just a song request, but the birthday girl wanted all the songs on here ipod playlist she made played at her party.

Mighty Dragon Sounds 6:47 PM - 23 January, 2011
Every now and then, tourists from St Thomas spill onto our island. Because tourism isn't part of our main economy, there isn't much in the Twin City for them to do. But when they come... the younger, braver ones venture out at night. Especially since our drinking age is 18. Now if you ever been to an island club versus say a club in the states that plays a few reggae songs..... its VERY different. But anyway....

So I am playing some BIG BIG Ganja and old school foundation Anthems.... My Mic Man was on point that night and people were going on SICK! Jumping around having a good time. Music so loud and so much vibrations I had to play internally that night. But I didn't care. Dropping song after song and everyone was having a good time.

Obvious pack of State Side women comes up to me.

Girl: Can you please play something I can dance to?
Me: (On my polite mode) What would you like to hear miss?
Girl: Something..... that song that goes "DAN DAN DAN DAAAAAH DAN DAN DAAAAAH!!!!!"

The bitch is singing the beat to me.....

Me: Do you know the words?
Girl: No.... I forgot....
Me: Well tell me what you want to hear?
Girl: Anything but this.....

At this point my Mic Man is looking at them shaking his head. But he is polite and I turn down the music for him to announce and big up the ladies from off island. I figure giving them some attention would at least cheer them up.

Mic Man: So these women say they want to dance.... we will show them how we dance.

It was mainly a Calypso night, and I don't know why some people think that just because you come to an island that all we play is Dancehall and Reggae and that every island uses the word "Bumboclaat" and uses the phrase "YEAH MAAAAN!!!!" and what not.... but either way...... Played some Krosfyah, Burning Flames.... all the Big Soca and Calypso anthems. People going on sick! Dancing having a good time.

State siders come up to me... this time about eight or nine of them.

Girl: We are not in Puerto Rico! We don't want to hear Salsa......
Me: Miss this is not Salsa..... You get Salsa in Mexico...
Girl: Well I don't care.... We are on vacation and we want to hear some Reggae
Me: I just got done playing Reggae..... Didn't you hear?
Girl: No No No ..... I mean something to Dance to....
Me: Miss, I understand.... you and your friend please enjoy yourselves.... This is dancing music.
Girl: My Dad's Jamaican!!!
Me: We are not in Jamaica....
Girl: I WANT TO HEAR SOME SEAN PAUL.... SOMETHING I CAN DANCE TO!!!

So I pull up a list of all my Sean Paul songs and she looks and see's the song "Temperature".... I can't even remember the last time I played this song..... Infact I don't even think it lasted more then like a few months here when it came out.

Girl: This song!!! This SONG!!!!!

At this point she is pounding my laptop screen with her finger. My Mic Man has lost it...

Mic Man: So these women want to hear a song..... they really really want to hear this song...... So.... Drop it for the ladies.

The State Siders are on center stage so all the attention is on them. You can't go from Calypso to a Dancehall song like Temperature but hell I did it anyway..... It was our regular crowd and just to prove a point. As soon as they hear the beat the whole crowd stops dancing. The State Siders on stage are like "WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!" With their arms flailing in the air and then I guess they notice the crowd just staring.... I'm not sure if embarrassment set in, or if they thought that they was about to get robbed..... I don't know.... They left the stage. Didn't see them for the rest of the night.

I love tourists.... Means more money in my pocket...... But some of them....... Grrrrrrrrr......

I have a shit load of stories, but more recently....

drunk girl: "can I charge my Iphone on your computer?"

daaaaaaaaaamn, shit was retarded.

another time, it was 9pm and I just finished setting up and this dude comes running over and yells immediately, "you got any instrumentals?"
me: "yeah"
him: "can i rap over them?"
me: "haha, no man"
him: "why not?"
me: "i can't put you on, i've never heard you and that's a desperate move. if you want to get booked come back during the day and talk to a manager or put your shit online and get some connections"
- - - the crazy thing is, after he left i remembered that dude has come to my other residencies in town and asked the same thing, i just forgot him because....well, he's a nobody obviously and a fucking retard.

and last Saturday I showed up to DJ and there was a dude passed out on the sidewalk in front of the club (8:15pm). Shit was crazy, ambulances came and everything.

If you are actually a DJ then you know I can't sit here and talk you, I have to keep mixing, fool. When I go out I never talk to the DJ, I only go up to give him props and only if he is dope and it's a simple "You kill it man!" or "Nice shit man, glad there's local talent!"
But, I hate getting a request and when I say "no" the dude looks at me and is like "I'm a DJ too, come on man" I just shake my head...GTFO man, go have a DJ circle jerk with your other microwave DJ friends and sit around bragging about DJing your own frat parties or some shit then.

I had a request that annoyed me on satyrday night... I was aroung 128-130 bpm and this fine latina chick comes up to me and requests "blame it on the alcohol, by jamie foxx"

I said thats a good song, but i can't play it right now cause it is too slow. she got all mad and saying something that sounded like blah blah blah to me... maybe thats what i heard cause IT WAS MY WIFE!!! and when she starts complaining it turns into blah blah blah...

Honey... Let me DJ, and you go get me drinks and shake your ass... Sounds like a great plan. I think she put a rufy in my drink, cause i didnt drink much but hit hard. slept till one the next day. usually dont sleep past 10

Love Love Love the passport for new laptop story! I think that would make a great short film as to what NOT to do when at a club or event. That is when idiot meets spoiled brat. Her friends HAVE to be ticked at her now because they are either going to have to put up with her "what do I do?" the rest of the trip... or try avoiding her until they can just leave without her. LOL

The state side girls on stage... again a great idea for a short film. That reminds me of the movie "baby mama" with Tina Fey and Amy Polher. Tina's character gets drunk at a club and tried something she always wanted to do... play a song in the DJ booth... what does she play? "Lady in Red" and people start throwing things at her.

I often find that people who all of a sudden have the responsibility, find it is not as "dope" and "easy" to please everyone or just anyone as they think.

another time, it was 9pm and I just finished setting up and this dude comes running over and yells immediately, "you got any instrumentals?"
me: "yeah"
him: "can i rap over them?"
me: "haha, no man"
him: "why not?"
me: "i can't put you on, i've never heard you and that's a desperate move. if you want to get booked come back during the day and talk to a manager or put your shit online and get some connections"
- - - the crazy thing is, after he left i remembered that dude has come to my other residencies in town and asked the same thing, i just forgot him because....well, he's a nobody obviously and a fucking retard.

and last Saturday I showed up to DJ and there was a dude passed out on the sidewalk in front of the club (8:15pm). Shit was crazy, ambulances came and everything.

I admit I'm guilty of standing next to the booth, but I'm new to DJ'ing and the dude was cool with it I was just trying to get a hang of how the whole big picture serato/Dj'ing process worked. He was chill and actually took time to explain to me some things while he was letting a track play out. No doubt I felt like a creep doin it though. haaaaa

I get this 'newbie's' at my booth from time to time, and it's no problem you want to learn and watch how other dj's perform. Just tell the dj you just started dj'ing, and if it's ok with him if u watch his moves for some time.

Just don't ask questions while he's mixing 2 tracks, if he has some spare time he will come to you.

I think it's kinda flattering when people come to me asking if they can watch for learning purposes. Makes me feel like Mr. Miyagi (wax on, wax off)

Word I thnk it's important to respect the fact that the DJ is doing a 'job' and distractions are inconvenient. But when they take the time to help you out a little and show you what's up it's always nice. I remember one time I was at a joint in brooklyn that my cousin runs an he knew I wanted to check the setup out so he was like go over next to the booth. an the dj was using CDJ's which I was still really really new to DJ'ing so I was just checkin it out and he kept looking at me an givin me a look like "what the hell do you want" and it was loud an I didn't want to bother him so i was like nothin nothin. I felt like a total ass but then my cousin introduced me to him after an I was like 'yo I didn't mean to freak you out or whatever I was just checkin your setup out and whatnot' he was like "oh shit no that's no problem at all" an was mad nice about it. everyones gotta learn somehow an I really give props to the DJ's who aren't too up their own asses to point a new kid in the right direction, granted they deal with a lot of b.s on a day to day (hence the thread)

I had most of them and just used it as a guide (some of the ones came as a surprise for a 17 yr old girls birthday party, that I wouldn't have expected to play).

Better than play it from a FB page.

She said she had the owners number and would call him to get me to send one to her. Seems like a huge length to go to rather than just spend about $18 on tracks.

One for the books last night.

I got a request and I wasn't even djing. I'm standing behind the dj both and this ugly drunk girl comes up and interrupts me and my friend talking. Me and my friend are standing next to each other I'm on the right he is on the left. The girl comes up to him on his left side so I can't hear the conversation but I see him just shake his head at her. She then comes over to me next.

Drunk: Hey do you know that song that goes doodoodoodoodoot etc? I wanna hear that. Can yall play that? Can you tell the dj to play it?

Now I couldn't even pick up what song this girl was talking about but I'm just looking at her standing in front of me with her eyes all glazed over and I glance over at my friend and just start busting out laughing in this girls face.

Me: Did I just get a request and I'm not even djing? (toward my friend) Sorry girl but I don't know what you're talking about.

Drunk: *Walks off disappointed*

Come to find out from someone else later she kept asking people and the song she was trying to sound out was sandstorm...

Good one from Friday...

Spot that Ive been doing for about 4 months twice a month had their first night with new promoters. They brought in a good crowd but they were less into the open format and pretty much all hip hop.. cool with me not a big deal.

Bout midnight this 225LB chick walks up to the booth and starts poking me repeadly to get my attention. Im in the middle of a mix so I ignore her and she pokes me the whole time. So now im a lil pissed so I give her the "give me one minute finger" and go back to ignoring her... the second I start mixing the bitch starts poking me again. So no shes lost all chance to talk to me so I mix in the DJ Class "im the ish" pella intro over Ghosts n Stuff and thankfully the bitch walks away.

5 minutes later chick comes back
Her: "I only walked away cuz you played my song, you should be so cocky your not even cute. (again this chick is about 225 with some shit horse hair braided extensions... think Queen Latifa in set it off).
Me: "If someone walked up and kept poking you would would like it either... your like my five your old sister and your ass should be on time out."
Her: "Your not even cute."
Me: "Wtf am I trying to be cute, I just said dont fucking poke me"
Her: "I dont like white boys like you I date black dudes." (Im half black half italian)
Me: "Wtf"

The kicker was the end of the night im packing up and I find a reciept on the table with a note scribbled on the back... definatly from that same girl:
"1. You shouldnt be so cocky your not even that cute.
2. Can you play DJ Class Im the shit and wish Shelly a happy birthday. "

asshole.

She came up and requested "Just Dance" by Lady Gaga. She tipped $5 and it was 930pm, so fuck it, to amuse her, I played it. She started doing all sorts fo crazy dancing that your average 18-30 year old girl does on the floor...

Not a ridiculous request, just a ridiculously old requester. LOL

I'm Dj'ing at this spot that makes it pretty hard for anyone to get in there, including the DJ's. You have to go through the bar that's next to the DJ booth, & then duck under a little door to squeeze in the tiny booth. The DJ booth is kind of elevated above the dance floor & on top of that there's glass to allow the DJ a partial view of the dance floor.
Chicks always come up and try to scream their requests. Unless your Superman there's no way you can hear them, although they do stand there for a long time trying to get you to read their lips. So lately some of them have gotten smart & began writing their requests down & putting against the glass...
This chick tried all of the above, but we were almost closing so I just gave her the thumbs up sign & she walked away.. A few minutes later I get a message on Facebook asking if I was going to play her request!? We were not FB friends, but this chick looked me up on there just to ask for her dam song!
Jesus Christ 11:27 PM - 31 January, 2011

Im laugin so im like sure fine, i play it he comes back up and pulls out 5 more $1 bills and asks for 2 more songs


At the end of the night i got home and pulled out my pocket and all these crumpled up ones fall out of my pocket and i felt like i had just got off work at the strip club or something
ta2423 3:44 PM - 3 February, 2011
Im all about making a quick buck on top of money already made. The 2 dollar sign does work. I wouldnt go higher because I think its the right amount to get rid of people that make requesting a habit yet actually pulling money from people that would appreciate you playing the request. Another good one is make a quick mix cd and put them out for $5. I always have someone asking for a cd. Which also gets rid of the can you put music on my thumbdrive.

Did think about that. I just think besides butt naked girls it would be boring just pushing play and stop. Not to mention every song is a request from the dancers.
If Im not mistaking dont the strip club dj's usually get a percentage of tips from the dancers? I also dont see myself on the mic saying in deep voice: and next on the stage is the lovely Fantasia.

The tips are good. The job is pretty much an itunes/atomix/winamp playlist keeping track of the girls and making sure you only play 2-3 mins of every song (so you don't have some 7 minute song lapdance). 10% or $10 per dancer whichever is more. I'm terrible at regular club mic hype because I have the strip club announcer voice. Its so hard when you're used to mixing everything and the auto-crossfader trainwrecks every song.

I might make a folder on my laptop that just has a few thousand of the same text files saying "Did you really think I'd give you all my music?" Whenever I get asked I'll just smile and load those onto it.

"Somethings wrong with those files you gave me..."

"Oh, really, what do you mean?"

"They start out fine but all of a sudden they go into this old 80's song..."

This would truly be epic, I'd love to see the look on someones face after they walk away with their ipod/iphone full of new music and it's all rickrolled!

What you should really do is have a folder of true school soulful hiphop. When they ask transfer this folder over. One of 2 things may happen from this, theyll learn a little about music, or theyll never ever ask you for music again. You win either way

I second that... Peeps are reacting to it at the club.
Dj.Mojo 1:48 PM - 15 February, 2011
Past saturday I had a funny one.
The club was packed. It was around 11:30. People were dancing, having a good time.
All of a sudden a biiig dude who has been dancing on the podium for a while jumped into the crowd to knock someone out. Within a second a bunch of guys just started to exchange punches. I changed the light to "bright", killed the music, got on the mic and used the code for our security. Security didn´t react AT ALL, the fight ended by itself, I started playing again. Five minutes later the same guys started to fight again.
Then I left the booth to look for those security douche bags. Then I found out the security wasn´t there tonight. There was literally no security because they had some changes and the new security would come at around 01 am.
Shortly after, the big dude who started it all walks up to me to request "something by cypress hill". I REALLY had a WTF look in my eyes and just shook my head (but ended up playing some of it anyways). I guess that was my most ridiculous request so far.
tcutt 1:52 PM - 15 February, 2011
just like to say that im in the UK and the same stupid shit seems to get said here as in the US - dumb mother fucker the same world over.. same requests... people asking for the song that is playing... girls touching the desk.. askin to hold head phones, have pictures... the only thing i dont get is stupid guys... guys never ask for songs when im playing... i have a doorman stood next to me to fliter the dicks :)

djbigboy 4:07 PM - 16 February, 2011
So one of the places I do some corporates for always has some after the holidays holiday parties. They are usually high end clients but with low end employees. I have been adjusting how I do these parties, so I kinda just play a bunch of recurrent while people mingle and cocktail. Then I play the hits everyone wants to hear.

So first party, this is a dress up event, most people are in at least collared shirts, nice jeans, and a lot of people are in suits and dresses. This girl walks up and says "Do you take requests". "Sure sure". Can you play Too Short "Blow Job Betty". I usually remain calm, but i was told her "Get the fuck outta here, are you insane?". "No really it would be so awesome". "No, this is a company party, there are grandma's here, your boss right there is 50 something.". "Everyone will like it". "No they won't, and I will get fired, probably on the spot, you need to leave". She wouldn't leave, and i had to have security walk her off. She just didn't understand why I couldn't play it. Really?

Second party, about a week later. High end restaurant, most of the people are cool. For whatever reason, everyone is dressed up except for a big group of guys and girls. They are the only ones requesting music. Can you play Too Short Blow The Whistle, Mac Dre, etc etc. The dance floor is FULL of ladies, and they are liking your typical Top 40 stuff. The group is harassing and harassing. Then two guys come up and say "Hey man, can you play some rap?". WTF. "What did you have in mind". "How about the new Ludarcris 'Pussy Poppin'?". "Are you serious?" "This is a company party.". The other guy "Well, this guy right here is a manager and you should be playing his song". "If I play anything hardcore, I am going to lose the majority of the people enjoying themselves". The "manager" then proceeds to rattle off a bunch of songs that were hot in 1999 (and this guy is a good 10 years younger then me). So, I kinda compromised and went into a lower BPM still playing hits. Then the same people beg for Mac Dre. I said fine, I am tired of fighting it. What happens? All the girls RUN off the dancefloor, all the guys who are not dressed like everyone else goes completely nuts for 30 seconds before realizing everyone is watching them make an ass out of themselves. One of the guys comes back up and says "Hey man, I hear what you were saying about the ladies, maybe you should just stick to what you were playing". One person gets it.

My daughter does cheerleading and the backspin is a common place use for switching up dance moves and patterns. This is not a strange request, by any means.

you can nip it in the butt 30 feet away by having them throat-punch themself.

Had a huge gig... I was elevated just slightly above a crowd of 10,000 people, people keep coming up to me sayin someone just hit them, or someone just hit their friend. The crowd was pretty dark (not skin color... not much light on them) finally I actually see the dude hit someone. I had one of those lights they put those little disk things in and do logos and stuff (forgot what they are called, I focused it really small and put it on the dude, flipped the mic on and said if you got hit tonight by a random douche bag, the guy with the spotlight on him is the guy who hit you. kept it on for 10 seconds and flipped it off... security was hired cops in uniform, and they had other cops doing other duty stuff around. they came running from every angle to break it up... only person to get taken away was the guy who was throwing the cheap shots.

Have to share this with you guys,,,:

I was dj'ing in my residency tonight, a girl came up to me and requested a song. I told her i played that song one hour ago, so i would'nt play it anytime soon again. She gave me the standard response: "yes, but i wasn't here then, so i haven't heard it..'. I said: "Well, then you should have gotten here on time eh?"

Then, when i expected to get in a long discussion with this girl leading nowhere, she just said:

"Your totally right, i was kinda late. But if you would be so kind to remember the song, and maybe later find some place to fit it in, it would make me very happy. Thankx in advance", and she smiled...

Honestly, that made me so happy, gave me back some confidence in my audience, there ARE understanding people out there!

I played her song within 5 mins.

Just for that, she totally would've gotten her request. It would've been much later, but I would play it before the night was over. Unless no one is there, I have a policy set in to - aside from distinct remixes or freestyling - not replay the same song.

Last night drunk chick and her slightly more sober friend plop down at the bar, I was spinning behind the bar instead of my usual place for some art sale, they're 2 seats over from being right in front of me.

They (the sluttier drunker one) start explaining that they are mad at their boyfriends since they went to a strip club, this, that, and the third, what do you have, do you have any new music, ba, bla, bla.

C: I want to hear some new Rihanna!
M: Like what?
C: Don't stop the music!
M: I thought you said new Rihanna?
C: Do you have new music?
M: Uh, yeah.
C: (screaming from the top of her lungs, and this is not a "loud" music place) I LIKE S&M!!!!!!
M: Sorry, I'm married, but the bartender here is always looking for a good time.

She didn't get it, while the rest of the joint just looked at her like she was a crazy nympho (You could kind of tell she was easy). Not soon after hearing their problems again, I told them to just go to the joint and find their boyfriends.

Last night I had a guy come up and put his phone right up to my speaker (shazam/soundhoud), I look at him and say "yo if you want to know the name of the song I'll tell you man"

In the moment that was like one of the funniest moments I've had in the booth...

can you play that one Lil Wayne song that says "Weezy" in it?
zebedee 8:44 AM - 28 February, 2011
played my friends wedding last weekend.
typically mixed crowd,loads of girls,some old uncles and aunt's,you guys know the drill.
so after the speeches,dinner and stuff i get the nod to start doing my thing.
im playing old mo-town classics,some 80's,oldies tunes and lots of stuff that is lovey dovey.
everyone was feelin it and havin a good time.
booze was flowin like crazy and there was a considerable amount of coke going round so everyone was getting well into party mode.
i started playing some hiphop,dancehall etc with the intention of takin it to more of a dancey vibe with some uk funky stuff,house,etc.people were havin a great time

then it all turned to custard.....

my girlfriend started buggin out on some of the girls that i knew there and threw her drink on me when i told her to stop being a dick about it.
the bridesmaids would not stop asking me to play abba even after i showed them i didnt have any and despite the fact i said i would've gladly(but reluctantly)played it if i had.
the father of the bride kept requesting fleetwood mac even though we played the entire greatest hits throughout dinner and then half of it again throughout the previous 6 hours.
everyone at the party with a fuckin i-phone wanted to plug in to my laptop to charge it.(which was basically everyone)
drunk fuckhead from the bride and grooms engagement party which i also played months prior returned to the wedding party way more wasted and wanted to continue where we left off with
him-"yafuggginn.....yahahafucggin..shouldaaafuggincarararazzzyyeeeeee.
."
me- "what? i cant understand you"
him "....i usedto dj fuggin.. back in the fuggin dayyyy maaaannn....."

on top of all that there was the usual ridiculous requests for stuff i didnt have or didnt know existed.
the next wedding i play is not gonna be for free and im gonna have abba's greatest hits......

Really don't want to go off topic on this, but formulating that sentence like you did really says a lot about your friends and thus about you ... If you don't see the problem in the whole story you typed out ... well ... I feel truely sorry for you ...

Oh yeah ... when you do a wedding ... come prepared and have some ABBA ready ... just saying ...

I feel for zebedee nothing wrong with what he said except the Part Where he said
PLAY FOR FREE!! Are you insane my man !! a set of dishes cost 20$ @ Kmart
and even the Lowlyiest DJ makes 800 for a Weddding!! Come Correct M8

This is Why that drunk Eff Said I "USED" to DJ the Last Half of that sentence is
But then all my friends got Married I DJ'ed thier Partys for Free and I had
to Pawn my Gear to Pay the Car Note !! For Christ sake never DJ for free

I'm sorry. I'd still charge.

Yeah my buddys a doctor hes gonna swing by and give me surgery on thursday. He wont charge cause hes my friend.
RAYSH 7:54 PM - 28 February, 2011
man, this is why i never EVER do weddings - too much of a mixed crowd, too many people telling you to play completely different styles. it's easilly got to be the hardest type of DJing when it comes to crowd pleasing.

This is why i prefer clubs
RAYSH 7:58 PM - 28 February, 2011
i also want to get this off my chest - I hate HATE it when people come up and start chatting to you. For some reason, everyone thinks they are the DJ's best friend, and they come at the worst times just when your running out of a track. it's like, don't you realise that i have a job to do.
Kool DJ Sheak One 8:11 PM - 28 February, 2011

You're doing your friend a huge favor if you're talented and charge them $500 for a wedding. Free is just ridiculous.

I think the least amount Ive done fro a friend is 500.00
Kool DJ Sheak One 9:10 PM - 28 February, 2011
I think it has to do with how close you are to that person.
Who knows, maybe zebedees life was saved by this guy?
And if zebedee is just starting out djing too, that could be a factor in the freeness.
I try to steer clear of weddings all together for friends or family because of all the and crazy things that can happen when different families and substances get together...

But the money is good.

lol... imagine a Dr saying how about we do a trade... you DJ my ____ for free and i'll ____ for you...

I had a friend who worked for a plastic surgon's office. Every year for christmas he'd offer any service to his employees (free)

So, it could happen...

I did tell someone once that i'd DJ for free, but they had to pay me $600 to show up.

So saturday night a hott latina chick comes up to me and goes on and on for like 30 seconds in spanish... I stare at her for about 10 seconds while she is looking at me for a response. finally i say... "i don't speak spanish" and tried not to laugh...
zebedee 5:47 PM - 1 March, 2011
the groom is a really good friend and has done many favours for me in the past.
also down here in nz we do nice things for our friends that are getting married.
but saying that,yeah im pretty sure now that weddings are the ultimate test in a dj's patience and im probably not gonna do one again.

what kind of favors? Im intrigued...I've got some good friends but the value of a wedding DJ is $800-$2500. I don't have many friends that if I said hey man I need a TTM57 (comparable to the price of hiring a wedding dj) Ive done a lot of favors for you! Can you buy it for me?

ta2423 6:57 AM - 2 March, 2011
Why do people say it isnt about the money.
Is it because they cant get money for spinning?
or is it because they are millionaires that literally dj to write it off as charity?

Dude, there is this Behemoth who is always at my Saturday night spot nagging me to play Wifey & anything by Keyshia Cole on the regular. She'll make it her mission in life to annoy the hell outta me until I play her songs too. She's there all the time, but she always requests the same songs. Then she'll send her Not Hot But Way Hotter Than Her Friend up to see when I'm gonna play her songs .

Some braud was doing a motion with her finger to signal next song and kept doing it right in front of the booth so I turned up my monitors volume pointed it right at her and let the song play from start to finish, when I prob would have mixed out of it after one verse otherwise.

A while ago i found a sollution for this. If a girl requests a song, and sends her friend over to request the same, i always tell their friend:

"Whow what a coincidence! Another girl just came here requesting the exact same song!". Then they are like "uhh really eehhh". Then i say; "I didn't wanna play it because she was so damn ugly, really i'm not kidding she looked like she ran into a bus or something. But for you i will play the song no problem!".

Then i play the requested song immidiatly. The best part is watching the friend walking to the first girl, bringing her the bad news. The look on her face is priceless and i'm sure she cries afterwards in bed. She will never bother you again.

There's a sollution for this problem too.

Wait until she starts dancing, then grab her attention, point to her feet, shake your head and make the same movement with your finger like she did. If possible, grab mic and tell her to please do another dance because this one sucks. She will never dance again in front of you.

I said but I'm playing it right now.. She says I know but can U start it over. I just hit the cue button and started the song over

Probably because she was requesting it for her daughter who was not drunk enough to request it herself. That's why mom didn't know that was the song that was playing I betcha!

Sweet 16 party. Girl asks if I can hook her IPOD up and play her Christian Rock song that "everyone wants to here". Funny thing is this girl has the shortest mini skirt on, tightest shirt and danced like a stripper the whole night. Luckily I didn't play it, who knows what she might have done if I played a song she liked.

Im starting to think this is some kind of running inside joke, when i showed up saturday i walk in the door, LITERALLY 2 steps and i see the bartender point and say "Theres the DJ ask him" a guy walks over from the bar and says "when are you going to play some good music this SUCKS" (the radio was playing), Im literally standing there with my backpack ON and laptop case still slung over my shoulder, records in hand.

This has been going on for about a month tnow, 1st it was someone bitching as i was doing a soundcheck, then 2 girls bitching as i was setting up the TTs, then it was a guy and 2 girls bitching as i was getting the coffin on the stand....im dreading what happens next because since theyve no bitched about it as soon as i walked in the door the only thing left is for them to call me on my cell on my off days to bitch about what music im either A) playing in my house or B) playing on the radio at the club durring restraunt hours

playing rihanna's "only girl in the world"

dude - shows me beetrootz on his iphone
me - "sorry, don't have it"; besides, it's a wedding, i ain't gonna play something that deep
dude - "well, can you play something fast....like 360"
me - "360?"
dude - "yea...360...like...360 bpm...like some house"
me - "i'm playing rihanna. (point to my screen) i'm already going around 128. do you know how fast 360 bpm is?"
dude - "yea, just play something fast...like 360...house"

This has been going on for about a month tnow, 1st it was someone bitching as i was doing a soundcheck, then 2 girls bitching as i was setting up the TTs, then it was a guy and 2 girls bitching as i was getting the coffin on the stand....im dreading what happens next because since theyve no bitched about it as soon as i walked in the door the only thing left is for them to call me on my cell on my off days to bitch about what music im either A) playing in my house or B) playing on the radio at the club durring restraunt hours

I have a running joke on one of my guys. I have a group that every weekend I have them request justin b and far east movement like 10 times a night. Its hella funny to see him clench his teeth and shake his head when the walk away. Im actually impressed that after 3 months of this he hasnt yanked a turntable and thrown it at them yet. I should start recording him and make a compilation of his expressions after multiple requests.

Earlier in the night at my regular residency.. Guy comes up on our hip hop night (hood hip hop, barely anything top 40 or uptempo). Do you have any Calvin Harris? I look at my computer (i do multi genre) and say "Yes I do but the promoter wants all hip hop.". The promoter comes up, he listens to the song, and he says, "Great song, but (pointing out to a crowd jamming to 72 BPM dirty south hip hop) the crowd won't like that.".

Later last night, DJ'ing at the after hours bar, 3am-7am, filling in for another DJ. Been playing top 40, dance and hip hop mixed. Lady (probably 40) comes up right after I played 20 mins of hip hop, I played some uptempo dance and she says "Are you going to play techno all night?".. I said, what would you like to hear (assuming she wanted to hear some older music)... she says "I want to hear hip hop".


On to stranger things, the night before I was ending out the night after Spring Break (usually they clear out right after the wet t-shirt contest) trying to get the last few people to make their way out (since I've worked 11 nights straight already). Had a typical hip hop night crowd who were still jamming to the R&B at the end of the night. I played Deadmau5 / Kaskade "Move For Me" and had the total opposite effect, more people started dancing. That was strange. That track would clear the floor if not clear the entire club if I played it any other time on a hip hop night.

First time I used vinyl at a spot I use to do regularly at the end of the night when I was looking under the table getting something out of my bag, someone grabbed the vinyl and broke the needle. Even his friends told him he was an idiot.

i had just bought my ttx-1s and had a gig the same night...big foam party in omaha....the dj booth was on the second level overlooking the hole crowd, foam pit and all...so i guess i didnt notice that i never took the counterweights out of the box....put the first record on and errrrrrrrrrp worst sounds ever, switch to the other side...same thing.....im panicking....no cquarters in my pockets, nothing....had to put my keys on the tonearm and rock out that way. random party goer says can you do some more of that scratching you did earlier? total confusion comes over me...i say yeah ill try to squeeze it in there. guy just sands there watching, waiting for this "scratching" to happen...i'm like "guy theres girls in bikinis on the first floor you sure you want to be up here with me???" he stands there with the that makes sense face and leaves shortly after that...

can i try? no


Why? I'll punch you in the face


they laughed a little, I kept a straight face, they look at my friend that is off to the side. he says, "he's serious, don't try... your hand wont even get close"

dude took off, 10 minutes later I see him with a beer in his hand and the look that he is going to do something stupid, I go around to the front of the equpt ready to kick some ass if he gets closer. it is amazing how people are tough if they can get in a cheap shot or get away with something. he started taking one more step, got the i pissed my pants look (buddy who is a ufc fighter stood up too)

lol, i have girls ask me if they can scratch the record all the time, what i like to do is make sure the song playing is on the opposite side that they are on and have the fader on that track 100%, then when they ask say...i dont think so, when they ask again say ok just once, they get all excited and move the record and since that record isnt on a playing channel nothing happens and they get confused. Then I tell em see DJing isnt as easy as it looks lol

I usually DJ in raised booths, but the other night I had that happen when I was on a floor level table, a girl leaned over (the non-playing side) and knocked the needle off the record. I loaded a song, switched my headphone cue and had a puzzled look on my face why the song wasn't playing. Then I looked down and the needle is on the record label.

So here she is again...you've had her at your spot...she must be on vacation in Florida...

Early on shes there with some older guy, its a reggae night with some top 40...
she comes up early while I have a mix running and Im still getting comfortable and fully hooked up...
1st request...Can you turn it down it really loud??? (I stayed calm while thinking oh shit not you...anybody but you)...told her it was a night club but while it was early Id see what I could do...she then begins to ask whos in charge...I point to the black promoter in the corner her exact next statement was... "Him he CANT possibly be the one who owns this place!"...after walking to him and every other person in the place and obviously complaining the promoter comes up and goes you can tune it back and play some latin for her... I obliged and she comes running to the booth after 20 mins or so as we started to pick up and people were ready for some reggae she then starts complaining about thats not what she wanted (even though they danced none stop) and is too loud again and they dont like this...
I apologized and told her this is what the night is design for Id play another set for them in a few if she could narrow down what she wanted but she then said...

LATIN BALLROOM and something they could WALTZ too!!!!

I told her I probably could go that far at almost 11 but if she could name a song or two she really wanted and the owner (who I thought was her friend) said it was cool that Id hook her up..she instead kept going on and on about she would need to see my library to tell me and what other nights I was there...I told her tomorow night is a straight latin night you should try that ... as if this 10 min convo wasnt enough she then goes on to how if she spoke to the owner that he wouldnt be happy that I wasnt catering to the clientele!!!

I responded as softly and calmly as I could..."Mam but your not really tonights target audience but tomorrow would be perfect for her..."
She then said something about she was her first and was there now!!!...LOL...
I told her that unfortunately that I had to cater to keeping the night up...she jumped in with...
"ARE YOU DENSE...YOU CANT BE THAT..."
I grabbed the mic and asked her loudly and clearly..."did you just call me dense???"
she kept trying to explain...I stopped the music and asked again......

needles to say when security, the owner and promoter came over...it was time for her and her guest to leave...rather forcibly!!!!

I heard somehow in the ensuing argument outside they towed her car! lol





I know I should have cut her sooner... but I really thought Id seen her and the owner kicking it in the past...


DROP THE BACHATA.... honestly.. not gonna front, I've dropped bachata, merengue, salsa, cumbia... IF it were a predom latin crowd.... but reggae night? damn... sorry homes

ok last night i just loose it , remember my previous post about getting my laptop broke by some crazy bitch request

last night some dude was asking for some hiphop , when hes actually on the house music room , i told him politely you can go upstairs there is a hiphop room upstairs , he said no i wanna listen to hiphop here now , all his friends are here , then i said i cant play hiphop coz its not the room music policy , he suddenly snaps , start F-in me and press all shit on my cdjs and the music stops , thats it , i took a beer bottle next to me , bash his head in with it ( not like the movies beer bottle actually dont brake when u hit it to some dude head ) then the bottle slips out of my hand , so i use a hardcase cover for the cdjs to continue to bash his face in while kickin him

the security broke it up threw the dude out , and continue my set , by the end of the night the dude report me to the police but one phone call to my management boss gets me off the hook ( my management is head by the grandson of the former indonesian president)

Dude procedes to sing me Snow's informer, and is begging for the artist.

"His name is Snow"

Patience has a limit indeed. I'll take a "this dj sucks" or "f you" everyonce in a while and keep on going. No shame in my game. I'm not changing the music genre the night was set on. That's like asking for Reggae in a Hip-Hop club (Watchwww.youtube.com).

But putting your hands on my equipment or on me? You crossed the line right there. I don't know what I would've done in your situation though. I may have been prone to go absolutely insane. It is good, though, that you were able to get off. Gotta be careful of that, though. Don't know who has a knife or a gun these days and who doesn't. People fight dirty.

Here's an exchange between me and a very young female coworker while I was spinning at a work party. If it wasn't someone I worked with, I may not have been as nice lol.

HER: I didn't know you DJ too.
ME: Yep. 10 years.
HER: I love music.
ME: Yeah. A lot of people do. It's a good thing to love.
HER: Hey, do you have [such-and-such]?
ME: No, actually I don't. Anything else you wanna hear?
HER: What do you have?
ME: Uh...a whole laptop filled with a million songs. That, by the way, is the worst thing you can ask a DJ. <UNCOMFORTABLE LAUGHTER>
HER: Oh. Do you have Girl Talk?
ME: Yeah, but I'm not gonna play someone else's mix CD. I can play some mashups though.
HER: Hmm. Nah. Do you have [such-and-such]?
ME: No. Never heard of her. How about this -- email me the song and I'll play it. I'm hooked up to the internet.
HER: Okay. <STARTS TO WALK AWAY, MY HEADPHONES GO BACK ON> Wait-- it's on my home computer.
ME: Okay. Email it to me later and I'll play it next time.
HER: <GETTING IRATE> No, I want you to play it now!
ME: Look, I'm busy. I'm trying to beatmatch right now. Just email me the song.
HER: Can I give you the YouTube link?
ME: And then what, you want me to rip while I'm spinning and then play it?
HER: Yeah.
ME: No.

Friday I had a bunch of bad requests but the top was when some random just came up and asked "Do you have access to itunes?". <blank stare>. Excuse me? "Do you have access to itunes?". No actual request, no "do you have" or "would you play". I kinda just put my head down and she walked away knowing I felt ashamed for her...same night, some guy says "hey man, I know I am not the greatest dancer but do you think you could play something I could dance to" WTF? The whole dance floor is packed behind him and he can hardly stand up...

I consider it a Jock Jam request. Here is the states they use Sandstorm, Zombie Nation, and other "techno" classics at sporting events. ESPN put out a series of CD's back in the late 90's/early 2k's called "Jock Jams."

These are the tunes that sports teams and stadiums use to work up the crowd. You see it at these events and everyone acts like they are at a rave or dance club, but in a mockumentary sort of way.

So to hear people request it sorta makes me feel like they are mocking the entire set by wanting me to throw that 1 song in there. Like they think it would be humorous if I played it.

Sorta stupid to think that I know... but that is what has worked its way in my mind.

2:00am, guy asks for six foot seven. i play it about ten mintes later.

2:58am, same guy asks for six foot seven.

- no, i played it earlier - plus we're shutting in two mintes, this is the last song.
- PLAY IT.
- no, it's too late for any requests now.
- PLAY IT
- um, i told you, i'm not playing it.
- PLAY IT NOW
- i'm curious: why would i do what YOU tell me?
- BECAUSE I'LL COME UP THERE AND PUNCH FUCK OUT OF YOU

i'm doing a ol skool blue light basement event for a Black Arts Fest thing and the floor is packed i just blended in from The Time "The Bird" to George Clinton "Atomic Dog"...(now I'm only 25 but these ol skool gigs are my bread & butter) the event coordinator a 72 year old man walks up and asks for the mic (he is paying, so whatever) before i turn it on for him i ask "are u sure you dont want to let em have another ten minutes at?" he says "no this is a timed event. i want you to stop the music"...i scratch fade out the record...the audience is looking back at me like WTF! people are yelling "DJ COME ON PUMP IT UP" this poor man is repeating "excuse me excuse me its time to dance." the expressions are like "really" lol and he turns around and ask me "hey put on some salsa. now i am going to need ppl to join in for my dance" i drop some old Gloria Estfon join or however to spell and he proceeds to start some lame cha cha move with a few of the old ladies

needless to say ppl started leaving and the rest of the night was a wash...ppl were walking up to me saying "we had a great time but.." point back to the event coordinator "next time hide the mic"

I know how you feel on the old stuff. I'm pretty young my self but I have fun with the old school. But I digress... you know what they say: the only person who can get away with making a bad request is the person who's paying you, especially for $950 for 4 hours. He probably thought he was awesome with his salsa chacha. Sometimes, you need to educate people but obviously they're not going to all listen so you need to sometimes let people fall on their face. I don't know how I would've handled that situation so I can't give you any advice outside of that.

aside from the inauspicious end, that sounds like a wicked gig. I have more fun playing classic funk, disco, and soul nowadays (partially cause it's way more challenging to mix, but mostly cause the music is just so much better than today's shit).

$950 for 4 hours? get that money son - and shit, playing good music on top of that sounds like a dream...
Laz219 9:48 AM - 3 April, 2011
In that situation there is nothing to it but to let them do their thing, at least in that scenario it's obvious you haven't suddenly decided to switch up the music to something nobody is feeling. It's all on him.

I've had a few were the organiser has made me change the music when everybody is happy with what I'm playing. Same deal- since they are paying me I do it. Usually if it's something I'm sure won't work I'll brake out of the playing track, grab the mic and say something like "__________ asked me to switch it up" and slam in the next track.
They then get the WTF look rather than me.

a random one came out the other night... I was doing a fashion event with a few media folk there... during 1 of the tv interviews that I was doing, the host straight up asked if I could teach her how to rock (in the middle of the party).... good TV I hope...hilarious and playful...but completely killed it that I had to keep on hitting the cue point on the track that was playing so she could at least attempt to mix.

I wanted to stab the guy with my tonearm that walked up like the Watchwww.youtube.com comercial :20 ga shh ga shh ga shh for like a minute.
Then a guy walks up as Im mixing in a song/vid. Are you playing a mix cd. Train wreck... You know when the needle slides across the record. I smirk then say look at the screen then look at the video as I slowly pull back the vinyl and move it forward. Back and forth, back and forth until he gets recognition of whats going on. Continue song. I had to do it, stopped the whole gig for that one. Blew me away.
SOB wasnt even drunk.
Also got the can you play the mix by such and such dj...
Then got the idiot that has to walk by and stick his hand over the t.t. and act like he is scratching. All in a nights work.

Last night I and a friend of mine were DJing a high school party. You know what that means...dirty south music and lots of it. Mostly everyone visible from what my friend and I could see was enjoying what we were playing (I on my NS7 using ITCH and he on two turntables using SSL).

Half an hour in, a girl comes over with a salty look on her face and I immediately knew what kind of person she was going to be all night. I've got "Get Low" playing (a radio edit with clean vocals of course) and she comes up (while the entire dance floor is enjoying it) and ask if I can change the song. So I switch over to Nicki Minaj - I Get Crazy (also clean. You'll note we're at a high school). Her face becomes immediately filled with a dejected look and she goes "This is worse!" and I respond by pointing to the packed dance floor which is filled with kids enjoying themselves.

One thing I know is high school kids are VERY impatient and don't dance to the same song for very long. You've gotta keep it moving and move fast so if I've got them enjoying themselves and even singing along to the lyrics, I'm doing my job right.

The night goes on... She keeps coming back and forth to the table every once in a while and just standing there. No request, just standing there.

Some more time passes. I was in the middle of the last hour deep in dirty south music and had been for the past half hour. I'm at roughly ~144 BPM playing "Hard in the Paint". The dance floor is going nuckin' futs. Guess who comes right on back? Same girl. The request was so damn stupid that I could barely stifle my laughter. My friend asked me what she wanted. I told him. He asked, "isn't that R&B?". I answered, "Yes"; "and she wants to hear that?". "Yes". "Right now"? "Yep". He and I both laughed our asses off right then and there with her standing there. She walked away looking very annoyed. We enjoyed ourselves and played the rest of the party. For the record, the request was, "Can you play some Jagged Edge?".

8:15pm, can you play too short, top down, we are at a wedding NO
830pm, can you... NO the bride said NO, NO TOO SHORT...
every 15 minutes this continues until 11 when he was kicked out the place for spinning a girl, super hard, letting her go and she went flying into a table and almost through a giant window... every time he would come up he told me the story about how him in the groom use to bump this back in the 90's, i was like didn't this come out a few years ago? he was sure it was around back in the day...

Oh, btw...totally forgot about Friday.

Had my first library scroller since I got my i7.

this guy had balls...I now see the 1 flaw of having your laptop way to the side.
while the bouncer was in my left ear asking if this guy in the booth with me was kool
(so all my attention was to the bouncer)

I look back to the right and he's trying to find the mouse location and scroll my crates.

I grabbed his wrist like a crying 6yr old getting dragged out of chucky cheese.
dragged him right out of the booth....

the bouncer just laughed, and took out the trash.

i agree, the restaurant running the reception really screwed up, it started raining, so everyone showed up 30 min early, then the bridal party got there 45 min early, so it took them somehow 3 hours to serve dinner, to 45 people... the reception was suppose to end at 10, the last dinner plate came out of the kitchen at 850ish, so everyone was completely wasted by the time dinner got out, and then after rushing though the garter toss and cake cutting it was already 945, then rushed into a few slow songs for the old people, one or two faster songs (played sir mix alot, and some girl was like, god this song is so old, why would he play it?(brides must play btw)) then by that time all the guys were either over at the bar on the other side of the restaurant or outside smoking. the drunk ass's little stunt pretty much stopped it from running any bit over and we were all out by 10:45ish. i got a drunken hug by the groom and a high five from the bride so i did good on my side of things even though the battery went dead on the mic mid bestman speach... lesson learned there...

exactly, people kept coming up to me asking to switch it up and every time my response was the bride wants jazz throughout dinner.... and the reception hall messed up and set everything up backwards, so the head table was about 3 feet in front of me the entire night, so you could say i was getting constant feedback..

Hey hey hey.... dont hate on my peeps. LOL

However, the first time I ever went to a Gay Circuit party it was simply overwhelming. I had been to gay bars before, but never a club that had a max capacity of nearly 10,000. It felt very liberating, but it was simply overwhelming to me.

That said I can imagine how that experience can be overwhelming to anyone non-gay. I have had many uncomfortable experiences DJing mixed events, some mentioned earlier in this very thread. But it was uncomfortable when I had a partner and would come with me to these events and he would play with fire sometimes showing affection to me. I would have to say, "you are going to get us shot and my music stolen!" LOL

Those mixed crowd parties (back in the day) were something - I remember going to the WAREHOUSE to hear Frankie Knuckles for the first time. One of the memories was 2 gay guys dancing near a pole/pillar in center of dancefloor. When ever dude heard a song he liked he would climb the pole and swing around the pole.

(nm nh)
The club was open all night and the one thing I do remember is they danced from the time I got there til we left at 7am daylight - never left the dancefloor. And I finally saw the definition of jackin' - ewwwww - no offense Chad : )

and DJ Art, no offense taken at all. I dont care the sex, opposite or the same, the phrase "Get a Room!" ALWAYS applies! I am sure you got to see what Jacked Up looks like too. We gays do love our club cardio but most tend to take supplements to help go the extra mile! :)

You should do a REVERSE REQUEST LIST...

Let whoever it is give you their list, and at the end of their rambling, tell them you're doing a special promotion going forward, where you will EXPLICITLY NOT PLAY the particular songs that they just requested.

You can't do it every night, only when they feel the need to micromanage the DJ.

Not hating on the Monkees, in fact I used to love watching the reruns on Nick @ Night when I was growing up, but I've never played them at a party. I'll look into that them a little more though. To me they were always associated with the TV show. I liked some of the songs they sung, but not enough to rock at a party.

sometimes i feel like us turntable djs are like the GOP of the disc jockey world and cdj users are Dems and i'm guessing laptop users are like hard core liberials...we sound like a bunch of politicians...

although i'm TT user for life my biggest concern is that along with the mass spread of technology that makes it easier for us professionals.... also makes it easier for anyone to DJ...???...i think not

i don't mind it all because EQUIPMENT DOESNT MAKE U A GOOD (OR BAD) DJ...but your setup in a indirect way reflects upon you the same way as wearing a suit to a job interview or showing up in sweat pants...what you wear doesnt speak anything about your level of skill or talent but it speaks volumes about your level respect or attitude in regard to your craft.

Lol it fits in.

However what I tell those asses that can't deal with laptop dj's is this: if it can be automated, then that was the part of DJing that was artistic. All the automation in the world can't replace song choice and creative ways to energize the dance floor.

They are just jealous because they are either broke from their CDJ's or can barely sent 1 line emails, let alone install and configure DJ software. =)

him: "Yo can you play something more upbeat?"
me: "what you want some hardcore or something?" "This is pretty upbeat already dude."
him: waves arms to the melody of the track
me: pumps fist to the kick drum of the track
him: "You know like Pandora top 25, lil wayne or eminem."
me: "Oh I understand" :back to mixing:

A lot of people seem to think this is okay now, especially at College's and generally 18+ events, I'm noticing. I don't see this much in the 21+ or 30+ crowds but the younger crowds will walk up with iPods and cellphones asking you to throw everything down and play some music off their iPod.

This happens 95% of the time, rap over their own vocals, even some of the big name rappers doing club shows. Some of the better ones at least lower the main vocals in the show mix at least. Most small time unsigned rappers don't have multitrack studio recordings that allow them to do this, make show mixes.

I CANNOT STAND CDs. I don't mind CDs for promo purposes, but I can't stand being given a CD during a performance. They cause many problems and can bring performances to a standstill and people look at you like you're stupid. I remember being given a CD by a guest performer while DJing a fashion show about 3 weeks ago. They didn't even tell me their name. They just dropped off their CD and left. Next thing I know, I've got 5 cds sitting on my table, no itinerary and I'm going fucking insane at the extreme lack of communication I'm having and literally about two seconds away from packing up and walking out.

One thing I cannot stand is disorganization. When I come to DJ a show, I want the correct information right then and there (There was no situation worse than when I did my FIRST major opening as one of the events for the "Shaquille O'Neal All-Star Comedy Jam" standup special live for a college homecoming and they gave me the wrong song list so I introduce one of the comedians to the wrong song. You can't imagine how pissed I was that night, but I digress).

You especially can't hand me a CD that has more scratches on it than DJ Jazzy Jeff's first ever CV02 and then have unreasonable expectations that it'll actually play without error. By some sheer dumb luck, it did. I think I'm going to insert a clause into my contract that says "If another guest artist requires their own music and I don't have the music ten minutes before the show starts, it will not get played".

At least you guys have had "rappers" bring their own CDs - what about Uncle Bubbas son who raps at the family reunion and everybody thinks its "cute" or he has "skillz". The whole family is at the bar/gig and wants you to stop everything so he can rap.

I had to deal with that a few years ago....

Me: You got your music....

Lil Nephew: Naw - I know you got some beats bro - just give me something HYPE!!!!

Me: like what - I got hundreds and hundreds of Instrumentals on here

Lil Nephew: Cool just drop something hype!!

Me: Ok - name a song similar to what U gonna rap...

Lil Nephew: Huh???

Me; What is your rap style - What is the tempo- fast like like Twista, Dirty south, west coast gansta, or what - Is your flow like Pac??? - I got some Pac instrumentals...

Lil Nephew: Yeah play some Pac...

We go back and forth - with headphones - too fast, too slow.... Arrrggg,hhh!

And after all that he still sounded like shit - choking and chewing the Mic - all muffled...

Take a good minute just to actually get a lyric out so by this time the crowds dead and they tend to choke.

I hear you, vtyme, lol. But hey, man. Those local artist are good for us to sometimes. They can put your name out there and get you more gigs. It's like if someone needs a party and they're looking for a DJ, they come to one of the guys you may have done a show with and you recommends you. It's just funny how it works that way sometimes.

lol yup I had this EXACT same thing happen at a show i did, it was a variety show for this website (ill try and get the link they posted) and they were showing all kinds of different artists from mobile, so i did my interview then they interviewed these rappers, so then they say the rappers are gonna perform a "freestyle" (there was NO WAY IN HELL what they did was a freestyle) so im like cool this should be good......well they all walk up to me like ok you ready?? I was NOT told in advance i was gonna be doing anything like this so i ask for their music...NONE, so they tell me to just put on a beat so i go through like 10 before dude starts rappin, im doin a lil extra on the beats to make em sound better and the 1st dude gets it and i cut the beat and he starts spittin like crazy and sounds AWSOME, the next dude starts and i mix to the next beat and he just stops like i cut him off so i had to pull him aside and explain to him to just keep goin with it, he did what i told him to do and it sounded dope, so the next guy gets up there he was prob the weaker out of all of em and going last it didnt sound right do i doubled up the snares to make him sound like he was rapping faster and dude starts dissin ME for "fukin his beat up", like its my fault they are a "professional" rap group with no name, no beats, no single, who cant rap over a fucking instrumental. I was PIISSED and was about to have words with him after the set but the 1st 2 rappers came up to me as soon as it was over and thanked me for makin em sound better

Even more so are the ones who use DJ's who really don't do anything. Kinda like Ray Parker Jr. on Solid Gold, where he lip sync'ed his song, "The Other Woman" and air-played an unplugged electric guitar, but only after he sang "makes me wanna grab my guitar, and play with it all night long".

Take Phone and walk away. Open Facebook. Status Update: "At my first gay club tonight. Text me or Comment if you already knew I was gay." Change profile to "seeking men." Return home screen.

Take phone back. Say, "I am sorry I let a friend DJ borrow my sync cable specially designed for my DJ software to read from cell phones or iPODs." Give phone back, and smile.

By The time he realized, he will be too drunk to put 2+2 together. He will just see it in the morning and wonder how drunk he got last night.

Rap groups who don't use/have Djs are already suspect IMO.


but what's almost worse is when their 'DJ' all of a sudden wants to use my equipment without prior arrangement, and then gets upset when I politely refuse...


People that do this are the worst, if I don't know the person they aren't touching my gear.
Best I had for that was a guy that showed up at one of my regular nights with a huge CD wallet, then looked all pissed that I was using vinyl and expected me to rig up some CDJs for him to use (in between mixing, and with not even an inch of space left on the table my coffin was on) and came back every half hour to see if I'd done it yet.
Nobody had told me anyone else was supposed to be DJing, and the promoters/owners didn't even seem to know who he was.

lol i like this idea. I just said no.

This happened before, I was asked to DJ at a charity event. Even though I explained specifically explained that I was a house DJ and would not have a single song anyone asked for, it turned out to be a spanish/latin thing. I start DJ'ing, and people start coming up asking me for stuff I've never heard of. Someone came up with their iPHone and did not like my "no" response, so they got the event organizer. He said "can you play just one song?" I said sure, hooked up the iphone to the mixer, pressed play (they actually were using Pandora), adjusted the levels a little and said "it appears that you will be DJ'ing for the next hour."

I went and redeemed my free drinks, packed up my equipment, etc.

The new DJ was having a great time for about 2 minutes, turning knobs, and other BS, then the next song came up. Dead air. Dead air. Finally the song played. for about 1 minute, then it buffered. they did this for a bit but I was off in another room.

The DJ that was scheduled to play after me didn't even unpack. Just picked up his gear and left.

friday night, written on a coaster and passed to me early in my set:
"there are only 12 black people in this town, why are you playing this?"
as I'm playing some Bob Marley, Parliament, Kool and the Gang etc. pre-warm up type stuff...
-this is after handing me a coaster earlier that said "Stones Allman Bros"
and later handing me a coaster that read "we don't care about the videos, just play the songs we want!"
needless to say it was a long night... it got better though as the younger crowd showed up.

Then on sat. at a different spot this older group kept yelling "classic rock" and it was still early so I figured I'd humor them, with a few classic rock re-drums (including some of my own)
They kept complaining to me and the bar staff that the bass was too loud, "turn the treble up"
Then proceed to give me a thumbs down and stink face whenever the beat dropped in over the tune.
Then two of the dudes came up to my booth and one told me I was doing a great job, they just want to hear more classic rock the whole time other dude was just looking SUPER pissed off at me.
Finally the youger crowd filled up the place and I got into the newer type stuff and rocked it.

that's what I get for living in a backwoods, one horse tiny-town...

If you think there are some crappy unprofessional djs, youll be really shaking your head if you peak your head into the rap scene.

I have a general policy regarding CDs now. If I didn't have it before the show started, and get a chance to test it, or if it is visibly scratched to the point that there's no chance in hell it's not playing, don't even bother handing it to me. Had one CD which was so scratched, it stalled a live performance during a fashion show from one guest group back in March that no one even told me was coming in the first place.

Even if the CD F's one player up, I can still mix both decks with the other one. I like having options...

Then they trickled out and a young crowd came in and im playing new ish and this HOOOOT chick comes up and requests some of my prime time tracks, it was a slow night so i obliged.....then she proceeded to thumbs up and thumbs down/stick face every track for the rest of the night.....after 2 thumbs up and a thums down i saw her turn her thumb down and she shook her head no, i cut the music and yelled.."look every track isnt for you there ARE other people here" lol her face was priceless

PRICELESS.

last night:

some random dude: hey, can you play (some song i've never heard of) the name he gave me was seriously in Russian

me: I've never heard of that, thats Russian right? i don't really have any Russian music.

him: and you call yourself a DJ?
me: yeah... i do.
him: *shocked that i replied
seriously it was hilarious.

at the club i DJ at, if people are too shy to talk to me, (i can be intimidating sometimes i will admit) theres also a notebook at the bottom of the DJ booth that i HARDLY if EVER look at, cause nobody ever uses it. All the regulars know to talk to me if they want a song played. So I get a facebook message last night from a pretty hot girl that says "hey, so i used to be a regular at the club, but now i'm not going to come back, because you never play my requests"

I replied "what requests did you make? i'm sure that they got played, or I didn't have the song"

her" I wrote them down in the notebook, they were all the justin bieber songs"

didn't even reply.... keep in mind this chicks 19.

Doing a high school cookout today at a swim club:

For the record, this is a direct quote:
"YO PLAY SOME YO GOTTI"

I stared at him dead in the face while he's trying to train-spot my screen (I had Anti-Trainspotting Mode enabled because I hate when the kids come around and try to look at my screen to see what I have playing) as a Yo Gotti "song" was playing and had been for the past 2 minutes...

He disappears.

Comes back 5 minutes later after I'd moved on to another song:
"YO PLAY SOME YO GOTTI, MAN; THESE PEOPLE WANNA HEAR IT!"

I swear the visage of DJ Michael Toast flashed before me as "10 Things You Never Say To A DJ" ran through my head. But oh well, 10 minutes later I played another "Yo Gotti song" - not because he requested but because I have a workflow keep up with. He's looking at me with what had to be a mixture of disdain and sadness at the same time (It's a funny but weird, look to be honest) and I look dead at him and say, "Keep It Movin'" which was actually a double statement, meaning 'Sod off' and 'I've gotta keep it moving' - or, more accurately, 'there are other people here aside from you that I have to play for'.

Of course I transition to the next song after 2 minutes (ironically rather long considering the audience) and he's back in less than 10 seconds asking why I didn't let the song run. I had half the mind to run



Same day, same event:
Some other male kid: "YO PLAY [Some Song that I can't remember but I know I don't have]"
Me: "I don't have it"
Him: "But I know you have it, I just saw it in yo library, yo"
Me: "You're seeing things which are not there".
End of that conversation right there. I didn't think he heard me so I ordered by song (Alpha-Numerical) and showed where said "song" would be if I did have it. Either way, he walked away.

Literally he was saying racks on racks, while the song was saying racks on racks... I was baffled

Also Im not sure if you guys are getting request for the "hit the bernie" song? I refuse to play it. I had to pull a customer to the side and have a heart to heart with him about it.

I'm not a dick, and I actually played ever other song requested that night, but I will never play that damned Bernie song!

I have had the most amazingly ridiculous comments made to me almost on a weekly basis,Like: "Do you have anything funky?"
(while im playing James Brown). Or "Do you have something I can dance to?"(while everyone is dancing). Or the classic "Do have any Hip-Hop?(while your playing Jay-Z etc.)
Just when I think I have heard it all, some genius comes at me with some crazy statements.
And now with serato, I get the two guys: the know it all, who says"this guy has every song ever recorded on his computer!"
And the other guy who cant handle the concept of serato and asks questions like"is that like an ipod player?"
Anybody else have some classic drunk people phrases?

I've heard something close to that before. Some girl came up while I'm DJing and in the middle of mixing a 4 bar intro to the next song over the chorus of the playing song (and for all intents and purposes, this sounds GREAT) and she goes, "Pick which song to play".

as mentioned many times in the past, there's a major difference between headlining dj that crowds paid money to see to their thing (like jazzy jeff) and the average club dj whom are there to provide the soundtrack to the punter's party.

when you get to jazzy's level, you get to do what you want for the most part.

I was DJing an older couple's wedding last weekend and a little girl asks me to play some Eminem. I told her no - the party is for the older crowd. :) About 15 minutes later her dad shows up and asks me to play some Eminem for his daughter. I told him that I did not have anything by Eminem that didn't have swear words in it. He looks at me funny and then realizes that his 8 year old daughter listens to Eminem CDs... swears and all. Hell, he probably bought her the CD for her 5th birthday! He never came back to request songs for his daughter.

I play at a rather large club with a big dancefloor (ab 600 ppl just on the floor, 2000 capacity) and we had a massive fight break out on the floor (2 guys decided it would be a good idea to fight a bouncer). So as the entire floor is watching this guy's face being used to open the door by the security staff, I kill the music and drop in a scratch sample (it's from one of Scene's scratch tracks available on his site) from Casino.....

"And don't forget to tell your friends what happens if they fuck in here. You understand? You're fuckin' right you made a bad mistake. 'Cause if you come back here, if we catch either one of ya, we're gonna break your fuckin' heads and you won't walk out of here. We don't fuck around in this place. You got it?"

And immediately dropped the first chorus to "Hit the road Jack" and blended back into my set from that. Place went nuts.

Got asked for "The Hangover" song once. Private party for some rich folks kid who was getting married. Numerous requests, please play it, etc etc.

Had to google, apparently The Hangover song is Right Round by Flo Rida. I feel kinda bad for dude, no one ever remembers the name to his songs.

"Can you play the remix of the Willy Wonka theme song?" (which was Ford - Pure Imagination, by the way)

"Do you have Unforgettable?"
I do, but I only have the original by Nat King Cole, I don't have a dance remix of it.
No, I mean, I want to hear the original.

"Can you play Small Town Boy by Bronski Beat?"

"Do you have Cher, One by One?"

"Can you play some dubstep?"

i guess he posted in the right thread "most ridiculous comment" haha i mean, of course this isnt 2004 when you had to play reggaeton all night but if you drop the right songs (si no le contesto, hasta abajo), you can get a crazy crowd reaction! here in NY the dominican dembow gets everyone crazy, for those who dont know here are few links...

personally not my cup of tea but if the crowds like it...hey! who doesnt like to see the girls getting freaky lol

Was DJing the other night and it was pretty early while I was playing some old school hip hop and 90s stuff. Girl and her bf come up to the booth and she says its her bf's bday can I play some dubstep? I tell her sure ill try to work some in through the night when its appropriate. After that it's like the floodgates opened.

She just stood there namin off all these new dubstep artists, and glitch rap acts, then asked me to make it a genre night between those two and hyphy... I told her I have dubstep and hyphy, I don't know the artists your talking about, and I dont have any glitch rap... She got offended and was like, "WTF you dont got no love for the BAY? Where are we right now?" I just looked at her and shook my head before saying, "ummm TEXAS..." she walked away and didnt really bother me much after that but her bf would come around occasionally actin drunk and dissapointed.

Talking to people is where the good stories come from, also its way to much fun to embarrass people with there own stupid request, things i have done a few times to get people to leave me alone- a)when they keep rambling on, let the song run out or mute it and when everyone looks at you, just give a glance over to the chick still rambling and shrug your shoulders... or b) (my Fav) trainwreck in mid song her HORRIBLE request and get on the mike and be like, yo, (if your have her name use it) That chick right there (point) keeps requesting this song and wolnt leave me alone... so don't blame me and enjoy!

i do lots of weekday weddings (destination weddings). when you're on vacation, any day is a good day to get married.

anyways, kinda back on topic...

not really a request, but more of a reaction to their request...

groom asked for justin bieber (crowd is mostly 20s-30s)...so i drop "baby".....and all the crowd goes off..and they're singing along. wow.

this wedding was on a saturday, btw..

Joshua Carl 9:22 PM - 17 June, 2011
thing is... as much he's a teen-heart throb boy band thingy... its not a far stretch to think he will follow
in the path of Justin Timberlake or something.

I have an 8yr old daughter, so we see our fair share of JB.
he doesent lip sync, he can dance and play a handful of instruments, can make fun of himself.

so much like timberlake had his lil white-fro...he cut it, and grew up, tagged a few smokin pop
stars now he's great on SNL and still carry a tune.

or He'll end up like Lief Garrett
ta2423 9:26 PM - 17 June, 2011
All about the benjamins baby... Parents wont buy the new luda cd for kids but even the preachers daughter gets the JB cd.
Actually think it was very well done on the marketing side of it.
My 10 year old daughter was all over it at first then I guess the kids around here changed their tastes all of a sudden and JB is now a no no. Which is good for me. I dont have to hear it blaring out of her room.

a bieber tune with usher isn't surprising.... I mean he is usher's little protege, so it makes sense that he'd pimp him by doing some vocals on a few tracks.... luda is a different story lol. on the plus side, he can actually sing. I think he'll be around for quite awhile...when his sack drops I think he'll put out some good music (nh) in the meantime though, right now he's a teeny bopper heartthrob... 20 and 30 yr old girls being obsessed with him a more than a little creepy

when i dj down at the rink, i have a strick no bieber or rebecca policy, bieber i'll loosen up on if its a young kids b-day request, but its gonna be a song of my choice, but no rebecca at all...

Some pop radio would never touch songs like My Chick Bad or All I Do is Win but they bang the shit out of Beiber or Tiao Cruz - remember Luda also did verses on Break My Heart and Dynamite - little suburban kidz that are NEVER allow to listen to a station "where Hip Hop Lives" now know who he is and may check out some of his other stuff now. Plus the Soccer Moms who listen in the car know him now too.

He still has the raw talent to "stay hood" and come back with some hood hits (no sell out) - but he is picking up new fans by flowing on the pop shit.

Genius if you ask me.

In a business sense I agree with you 100%.
As a fan of his music it disgusts me.
& thats where my statement came from. My heart & not my business head. U kno?

As for reakwon! There is no excuse this dude goes hard as hell, & is a straight up hood artist. U were sayng about how soccer moms dont know who luda is shit i know rap fans that dont know who reakwon is. I really dont see beiber fans listening to 36 chambers. Or Immobillarity.

& Again im not knocking beiber, Luda or Reakwon. I'd just rather they all stayed in they lane.

last night...

old man.

foxtrot plesase?
>Im sorry they have a very strict playlist, and they didnt want any old timey music
towards the end of the night...when I slow it down Ill slip in some Sinatra.

slow song break. drop Summer Wind.
he stands there looking at me arms folded.

after that song ends I went into a few of the must plays contemporary
(Hey baby, give me everything, dirty bit, s&m ect ect)
he comes up

foxtrot.
>what?
FOXTROT!
Im sorry sir, I really cant, maybe when the dancefloor clears you can ask the bride or groom
if they'll allow me to deviate from their plans.
(I had no intention of letting the dance floor clear, and it was quite agreeable)

so, sure as the sun rises.
the last 2 songs of the night are slow songs.
bot must plays.
he's on the other side of my table dancing with his wife, at this point drooling drunk.
FOX TROT!!!
So, I did the "look the djs busy with his headphones on looking at things" trick
no dice.
at this point the whole dancefloor was just looking at him,...like, whats he yelling?

he finally stopped.

this is why i DONT DO WEDDINGS.
I through a semi-rediculous $$$ at them as deterent #1
then I tell them, this is what i do, i understand if thats not what you want.

but it was like having a thumb tack in your shoe, every time you move, its like fuck my life!

redeeming moment was the fat tip and flying out the door 10 minutes after the last song
to spin the Katy Perry & Robyn afterparty :-)
Papa Midnight 5:39 PM - 19 June, 2011
Last night as I'm doing an 8-12 high school aged party. Most of you already know the hell to be expected from these "Radio Top 40 Robots" so I'll post just a few. You can use your imagination for the rest.

"Can you play some Lil' Wayne?"
I shot her the dirtiest look on the planet (as 6 Foot 7 Foot is playing).

"You have anything new?"
As I'm playing Bring it Back

"Can you play something we can dance too?"
...I kid you not...

Dj-M.Bezzle 1:43 PM - 20 June, 2011
lol had a great request weekend but best one went like this (no lie no exageration)

girl comes up while im playing pitbul and jlo on the floor and asks
girl: can you play that new pitbul on the floor
me: you mean the song playing?
girl: no the new one with jlo
me: thats jlo singing right now
girl: no its not
me: yes it is, look theres the video thats jlo
girl: then the one witout jlo, its called on the floor
me: ohhhh ok your talking about hey baby (drop it to the floor)
girl: no that has jlo in it im talking about on the floor
me: this IS on the floor and THIS one has Jlo in it your talking about
girl NO NOOOOOO JLOOO ....I WANT ON THE FLOOR
me: THIS IS>.....

at this point my homeboy walks up to see whats goin on because the girls obviously on my nerves at this point so i turn her around and told her to explain what she wants (while im cueing up hey baby). So while im cueing up im hearing the same argument i just had about wether or not thats Jlos big asses self on the screen or not. (this is where it gets good). She turns back around and kinda leans over the TT and says "look noooooo jloooooooo i want.......look tell your friend to stop griinding on my........oooohhhhh my god hes rubbing his dick on me......ITS GETTING HARD TELL HIM TO STOP HES TOUCHING ME WITH HIS DICK....NOOOOO JLOOOOOOO"

then i drop hey baby and she starts hopping up and down saying thank you pushes my boy off and runs to the dancefloor.

Teen party last night.

Him: Can you play Lil Boosie?
Me: ...sure thing, no problem.
Me: Played "Zoom" (clean version).

Him: Can you play some different Lil Boosie?
Me: ...sure.
Me: Played "Wipe me Down" (clean version).

Him: Don't you have that new song by Lil Boosie?
Me: I played all the clean Lil Boosie songs that I have.
Him: I don't care if its clean or not!
Me: Well I care if it's clean and so does management.

Gotta LOL at teen parties, I played "We Steady Mobbin" (clean version) and as the song comes on it starts out .."man f* these n*..."... so the clean version of course doesn't have that part, as the music comes on without the lyrics, all 400 or so of these kids are singing the dirty lyrics anyways.

I know this in 6 years my daughter will be 13. There is no way in HELL shes going to one of these things. At the same time it scares to me to think what kids do at school.

had a similar one to bezzle..

doing a youth dance last friday, girl asks for j.lo "on the floor" right as i was crossing over into it...so i ask her "what song?" and of course she keeps asking for j.lo's "on the floor" as it's playing....so i reply "sorry, never heard of it."

then as she walks away she notices it's playing and she's happy..

Fast forward 15 years later and the same kid is in the club requesting songs and shout outs because it's always been that way for him. The DJ gets irritated and goes home that night to rant on this same thread about stupid people in the club requesting songs and shout outs.

It's a crazy cycle.

When I was young (my 20's & 30's) I used to get annoyed with the BS and stupidity but somewhere along the way I came to realize that what I do on the turntables and the mic are only part of the skill set that this job requires. Allowing the guest to leave their interaction with you feeling important is also a skill.

My standard response to most any request is "Thanks, just give me a little time to put it in the right place". A skilled DJ can find the right place for any song. Hell if you have too, (when the timing is right) use it to clear the floor send the dancers to the bar, follow it with a slow song or two then build your floor again. If you can't, you should not put your self in a position where the guest has access to you.

For those occasions where the request is just totally unreasonable (i.e your in a country bar, everyone is line dancing and you get a request for some Pink Floyd) educate the guest. Help them understand WHY their request is inappropriate and GIVE them an opportunity to choose a song that fits the moment.

It is indeed MORE WORK to take the time but you have an opportunity to gain a fan in these situations (and avoid an unwarranted complaint to the client). I found that I feel better knowing that the guest leaves thinking good things about me (and themselves if you do it right) rather than having them go back to their table telling their friends, "That DJ is an A** Hole".

Wouldn't that be a Red Stripe bottle??

Nope not at this bar, Heineken out sells Red Strip by far!!


B Roger, it should be a shared responsibility, that is like going to a Pizza Place and asking for curried goat! You really think the store manager should sit with this person and explain why this item is not on the menu?? No way, that is just plain- lemme see what I can get away with/the entier world does/should/and always will revolve around ME!!!

Sorry no dice, YOU should be aware what's going on around you! This place has been a Reggae spot since it opened...

You are right, in a perfect world everyone SHOULD be aware of what is going on around them. Unfortunately, we all know that this is simply not the case in the real world (especially where alcohol is involved). So the question becomes who's responsibility is it to control the situation. Most of the time, I can say "NO" to a request in such a way as to still have the guest leave feeling good about it.

Your 80% rule will work to a point, just never give up trying to improve that number. If you are working a room with 100 people that means that only 2 guests leave disappointed, acceptable. If you are working a room with 1000, that is 200 disappointed. In a stadium with 30,000 that number becomes 6000!

I guess it all depends how you look at it. 80% is not good enough for me.

^ this!!!

I dont know if anyone else does this but in these situations you can always resort to the bezzle mind trick.

requestor: Hey do you have rebeca black friday, its my 18th birthday so im not drinking and im only in town for a weight watchers convention so ill never be back so please piss off your regulars to cater to me....plleeeesssseeee its my BIIIIRRTYHHHHDAYY

This is where skill and experience come into play. It is HARD WORK dealing with these situations. Most DJ's don't want to have to add this component to their work process. I'll be the first one to admit that it is a pain in the a**. It is far easier to dismiss the morons as a joke and think of yourself as superior.

It is hard to say having not been there however, If they are not wasted, I usually try to get them to see the room from my point of view (educate them). I might even let them behind the mixer to look out from my perspective and ask, "what do you think those people would do if I played that song". Then I might encourage her to help me choose a song that fits. I might show her a list (the Prepare window in Scratch is great for this) to pick from, if she makes a selection from your list (the stuff you already have in the que) then she walks away thinking that she got her way and you are the hero.

The downside to this approach is the time it takes to deal with the situation. The trick here is not to let them distract you so much that you make a mistake. A simple "let me get out of this song" is usually enough to keep them happy and waiting while you work and it engages their interest in the "why".

If they ARE wasted. Then I might have a little fun with them. "I DID play your song! Where were you? Did did you go to the bathroom/outside for a smoke/too busy hitting on that girl to pay attention.....LOL. Bezzel's mind trick is a good one too!

Thast not the only downside, what youll run into alot of times is theyll pick a song from your list, and of course it being YOUR list, the song works great.....now they think their good and want to pick another song, and another, then they want to add songs to your list because their last 3 picks did so well....never feed the pigeons

B roger is on to something that I came to terms with a few years back.

its almost an epiphany if you will.
you have to make a decision, or in the very least acknowledge the fact that there are different
DJs for different occasions/situations and forcing things down peoples throats, or being the dickhead guy in the booth telling people to fuck off with their lame ass requests...there IS certainly a place for that... but chances are, in those rooms people know better to NOT approach the booth with requests.

you can certainly, for lack of better terms..."keep it real"
Only take the gigs where you are the focal point, your not just brought in to read the crowd
and party rock... you are going in to do your thing, just the way you want to do it.

on the other side of the coin you can accept cheese-jesus into your life.
(now look, there I go... putting down top40...)
this IS an important DJ!
is it the most illustrious gig? no
but it can certainly be alot of fun... and you def can get a room in a franzy.
but alot of people cant let go of "the educator" mentality, or the idea that they need to let
everyone in the room know who they are every 5 minutes via Mic or drop...
rather than concentrating on on pulling the crowd in tighter with some more intimate mic work.

me, personally I Voldemorted that shit. (GEEK CARD)
I fractured my dj persona into 2, even 3 parts.
so much so that I almost pulled a kool keith and came up with an alias just for EDM Gigs.
(for whatever reason, as soon as you go open format you often get cast aside from a niche
genre community)

but at the end of the day, you HAVE TO step back and remember where YOU ARE.
just like the girl Bigga mentioned... she had no clue about her environment.
Ive walked into many of Bar turned club @ 930 pm and the DJ was playing straight dubby electro.
I know alot of us here pay heed, we are in this community to give and take experiences with
our peers... but theres ALOT...AND I MEAN ALOOOOOOOT of people in the booth that are
just plain cluesless to what their job REALLY is in that particular room!

Ya feeding the pigeons too quickly can really backfire. Although you want to keep the customers happy it can really bring a barrage of new requests since you played thier request within a song or two.
I am seeing a lot more pigeons that want their requests NOW and will give you the look or stand there until their request is played.

LOL! Yeah, that's always a personal favorite. I move and setup my own equipment. I don't have any assistants who come with me (usually. There might be a friend or two every once in a while who I let come with me so long as they makes their self useful). Nope... obviously I just pulled up. Obviously I'm setting up my equipment and getting ready to go. "[Am I] the DJ?" Nah, he's on his way though.

I had a variant of this recently. The day before the event, a full 24 hours. Just starting sound check, flight cases still everywhere it is OBVIOUS that we are still working on the set up. One of the volunteer decorators, wife to one of the organizers says in a tone as though I am one of the help, "I hope you guys are planning on doing something with all those wires running everywhere! We can't have those here!"

I don't really know why but she really pissed me off. Right then, I didn't even WANT to do the show anymore! But, I just smiled and promised she would be happy at showtime.

Cut to the next day, 3 hours before the doors open, same broad announces that the volume level (one of the ancillary rooms) was "just perfect" and we need to leave it right there. I kindly suggested that we might have to rethink that once there are actually bodies in the room. Deer in the headlights blank stare...........?????

lol the most common annoyance that gets on my nerves more than ANY other and has the ability to ruin the night before it even starts is (and this has happened ALOT) when ill walk into my venue and theyll have some kinda ambient music on or mabye the radio. Ill set my coffin down and start to set up my stand and ill have people walk up and say are you the dj, can you play ____ cause the music your playing sucks. Ill tell them sure ill play that for you as soon as i set up but dont judge what im playing before i even play my first song. Ive had people get PISSED and still not get it liek no play it now i hate this music. Ive even gone as far as to write down a # on a piece of paper and hand it to the dude and when they give me a confused look ill tell them its the # for the radio station thats offending them and they should give them a call because not only can they make a request they could win some concert tickets.

I gave up on trying to convince people that their request is good or not good. If it fits the format, I pretty much find a place to fit it in. If it's a peak hour song that I would play anyways and the request is in by 11:30 (normal crowd comes in around 12:30, peak time is 1-2:30) I'll play it. I generally don't get a lot of requests anyways, but there's no point in trying to convince someone who has no idea about DJing in general what the deal is.

80% of the time I'll just be friendly and say "I'll try and get it in" and they walk away no problem.
If they come back "still have it in mind and we'll see how we go"

Keep it general and they seem to think it's possible.
If there is not a chance I'll play it at all, a lot of the time I'll just go straight to "I don't have it" or say "the file isn't working"
With some people it works to say the file is broken- then it's the computers fault and you tried for them so they are still happy.

Hell naw....but she was cute.

^^^ you're still technically a virgin if you didn't actually "plug it in" (no glade)

LOL @ the 70 yr old virgin!

-j/k JOHNNYM, but props for not succumbing to the plug, I have been a victim of "the plug" and it turns out to be lame more often than not...

semi-related and back on topic:
this last hip-hop show I ran sound and lights for and DJ'ed between acts was a week ago,
(about once a month)
- and all these nationally touring mc's had all their $#!+ on frikken ipods, (after I sent the memo about a digital file ahead of time) and acted like I was crazy for thinking that was less than ideal... long story short and a Y cable later, "the show must go on" of course,
- but varying gain levels, poorly unmastered tracks, and watching them fumble through their playlists, etc.
led to a merely half decent show regardless of some actual charismatic lyrical talent... [/rant]
Papa Midnight 5:34 AM - 3 July, 2011
OB1: As mentioned before, even the big national acts can be some of the worst offenders when it comes to that crap. I think the worst "mastered audio" (I use that term very loosely) I had was some CD I was given by a sorority when DJing a college step show (and contest) and it sounded horrendous - and I don't mean 32kbps mp3 horrendous, I mean frakin' bad. I asked the representative of the sorority (who and which (respectively) will go unnamed for their own sake) where the songs came from that were on the CD. Loosely quoted, she said, 'we recorded them off the radio with the microphone while we was (sic) practicing'. I had nothing more to say....

Havent posted in a while, this was friday before last.

Was doing an awards ceremony "after party" for a bunch young Drs doing their residencies. Not gonna lie, and you may have figured, they are also mostly Indian. I started off slow for all the rich white people in the room. they didn't dance, no bother, it was pretty much picture time etc.

Then a nun (an actual nun, and don't talk shit my aunt is a nun) comes up to get things rolling. She asks for 60's music while "Brown Eyed Girl" is playing

HER: "Let's play some 60's stuff like "Celebration, We Are Family!"

ME: "SURE!" (I'm not going to clown on a fucking nun, I'd like to see if heaven is real, and if it is, if it's really made up of perfect bewbies everywhere, plus like I said, my aunt is a nun, and she kicks ass)

I go thru a few Disco songs, noticing that MJ goes over particularly well.

Then one of the students or one of their spouses come up and asks for......................................
I have no clue, I didn't understand a word she said, I gave her the "I'm not so sure about that" face, but really it was an "I don't understand a fucking word you just said face", but I'm able to cover that shit up really good right, so she then asks for some "Rock N Roll" After about 2 seconds, I realize her first request was for "The Beatles"

SURE! (thinking to myself, why the hell didn't you dance to Twist and Shout then?)

So I played Saw Her Standing There and Lets Twist Again since I already burned Twist and Shout and The Twist. I also threw in Oh Pretty Woman for good measure. I start to notice the floor dying, and "Play some Rock N Roll/Beatles lady" isn't really dancing, so fuck her, I go back to Disco stuff.

Floor full, God Bless Disco.


Pretty much the whole while this is going on, I have a few people coming up and making dumb requests, actually more comments about what type of music they think they want, but can't name a song, except for the portly young white dude, who keeps on asking for Im Alright (since it's at a country club) and other assorted movie songs.

Blah Blah, playing some more MJ, a chick who had been up before with her I want to hear/I don't know which song I like requests asks for the dumbest thing I've ever heard...

HER: "How about a nice little dance number?"

Thinking to myself, wtf?????????? but for some reason I'm in a decent mood and I just smile and say
ME: Sure, like what?

HER: Well I don't know

ME: What would you like to hear

HER: Something all ages and generations can dance to, like Lady Gaga or Katy Perry

Thinking to myself again, facepalm.

ME: What Lady Gaga song would you like to hear?

HER: I don't know, how about some Michael Jackson

Keep in mind, I said I was playing MJ at the time she came up, and I'm pretty sure it was Wannabe Startin Somethin, and that shit is like 6 minutes long

ME: This IS Micahel Jackson (still being pretty nice, even though I would like to rabbit punch her

HER: (astounded look, but good recovery) Well it's not one of my favorites.

After this the man who I'm assuming is her husband drags her away and out the door, I don;t think she is one of the doctors, and I'm glad, because I wouldn't want her to have to do any type of procedure on me.

Nun leaves happy, movie song requester dude comes up and asks for some Marc Anthony (no prob), and I was into newer stuff for a few more minutes.

The whole thing lasted about 45 minutes, easy $250.

OB1: As mentioned before, even the big national acts can be some of the worst offenders when it comes to that crap.

I asked the representative of the sorority (who and which (respectively) will go unnamed for their own sake) where the songs came from that were on the CD. Loosely quoted, she said, 'we recorded them off the radio with the microphone while we was (sic) practicing'. I had nothing more to say....


We had 2 rappers (both very popular in the south) last night. One of the DJs had Virtual DJ from the 1/8" headphone jack, the other guy had an Instant Replay... I don't know why these guys just don't make a show CD instead of hooking up all this bullshit 5 minutes before they get there and wonder why there's always technical issues...

Couldn't tell him that though. He requested it no less than 3 times every 20 minutes for 2 hours straight. -.-
Laz219 11:42 AM - 6 July, 2011
The name dropping thing always amuses me, on more than one occasion when I've been DJing for my parents company (usually doing backpacker/uni parties)

On more than one occasion had people walk up and say "I want you to _________, I know the owner and he said you have to play it" - Pretty sure if you know him, you'd have to know me too.
Plus it's always songs he'd never have even heard of, let alone say I must play it.
DJ DisGrace 1:10 PM - 6 July, 2011
There's name-dropping and then there is:

guy: play LMFAO
me: it's retro night, sorry
guy: come on, I'm the manager at the club across the street (same company/management)
me: then you should know it's retro night
guy: well I'm going to talk to ____________ (general manager)
me: really? you're gonna go that far out of your way and have them subpoena me to play the song?

Customer: r u gonna play it.

Me: yes, just not now, doesnt fit into the mix right now.

Customer: ??rude??

Me: yeah, dont tell me to play anything this instant, I'm not a juke box or your ipod and I don't even have to take requests at this venue!!!

Customer: I wasn't telling you to play it this instant, I was requesting the song "This Instant" by Sophia Fresh.

Ugh, this one made my soul cry out for a large meteor to strike the planet and leave nothing to live.

Sunday night I'm djin a private party for some girls 21st. No request all night and everyone dancing. Then this one dude 23 years old comes up and asks

Retard - "Hey can you play some old school?"

Me - "Sure. Anything specific in mind"

Retard - "Yeah! Can you play some N'Sync?"

Me - "I'm not sure. Let me check to see if I have any testicles. *Pause* Yup, I have some so I can't play any N'Sync."

I don't know if I would've done it for a 21st bday party, but N-Sync can make girls go nuts in the right environment (30s crowds). Seems like some of you guys forget who your core audience is. Make the girls happy, the guys stay. Doesn't really work the other way around, usually.

Eric N 7:59 PM - 12 July, 2011
Haha, say what you want. I will continue to get the "OH MY GOD YOU ARE THE BEST DJ EVER" reactions out of the girls in the crowd. These happen often when I drop that cheeseball track that every other DJ is "too cool" or "too hood" to even consider.

It's all about formatting though. You can't just drop N-Sync and have it work. It has to be sandwiched in between 2 other cuts that are gonna work for everybody, or led up to with other corny pop tunes. My point is that it's possible to play stuff like this from time to time and still have testes.

In fact, I would argue that it TAKES more balls to try something like that than it does to play it safe with the stuff that works every week.

I still won't play Bieber, usually won't play most Kesha tracks... we all have our limits. :)

However, I used to be a lot more "keep it real", and wouldn't play anything that I hated. "Return of the Mack" and Kevin Lyttle "Turn Me On" come to mind immediately. I have learned to say fuckit and do what's best for the ladies in attendance, and my shows have gotten better and better since. Maybe not from a musical standpoint, but certainly from a crowd-appreciation perspective.

HA! I fucking HATE the Cha-Cha slide AND the Cupid Shuffle, but those are two more that I have had to set aside my personal distaste for. It truly amazes me not only how many people KNOW the Cupid Shuffle, but also how many people there are that get up and dance to it even if they haven't danced to ANYTHING else all night.

The 'hood hokey-pokey.

When I started out DJing, it was the Electric Slide, the Macarena, and the Boot Scoot Boogie, and retarded stuff like that (I did high schools before I ever did clubs). Pretty much left me hating any kind of organized line dance. Especially because I had to TEACH these dumb dances to people... that was part of the "service" that the company I was working for sold itself on.

So yeah, traumatic memories = I HATE THE FUCKING CUPID SHUFFLE. lol.
Joshua Carl 9:53 PM - 12 July, 2011
I personally put those in the bag with my mobile stuff.
and while alot of stuff transcends mobile to open format club set I viw as the thin line
of what lil integrity i have left from cheesing it up on the regular.

its sort of the last line between me and the 56yr old dj down the street in the back of applebees
working for a cheesemelt and a strawberry lemonade in the realm of keeping it "real"
generally speaking I know no bounds and have no shame... but even i have to have some kinda limit.

at a private event though... im dropping that shit like like fireballs.

Girl: You're adorable!!!

the going def dj joke...


About "going there" with some ol nostalgic guilty pleasure, is all about the art of what we do.
To invoke a certain emotion in the collective crowd and get that "oh shit, he went there" reaction is priceless.
It is also dangerous and can get an opposite reaction like, "Why the fuck is he playing this shit?"
You can have a whole crowd singing in unison to the cheesiest track ever, if the mood and crowd are read correctly.
Of course I liked the aged cheese better than current fromage, ala "Friday" *shudder*.

And "Return of the Mack" can go down big, but only on some grown-ass folk!

Chicks like dubstep?
Eric N 9:04 PM - 13 July, 2011

At places where I know the crowd, it's a lot easier to know what is and isn't gonna work. But yeah, you can definitely alienate some people if you drop one of these cheese tracks at the wrong time, or for the wrong group!

I just wanna slap one and say i think youll appreciate that because your obviously into inflicting pain on yourself, you obviously hate yourself to come to a place where noone wants you, your on your friends nerves with you bitching to leave as soon as you saw your comp, and at best all your gonna accomplish is being some drunk fuckers awkward morning.

So I just DJ'ed my OWN family reunion in North Carolina...

My nephew had a "Rap" he was gonna do "about the family", and I was like OK, no problem.

He asked if my laptop was connected to the Internet. I said it CAN BE, but not while DJ'ing...why? Do you need me to download the song?

He said "No", just go to Youtube and PLAY IT while he MC's over the instrumental..

When I told him I can't "Play" something via the internet while Serato is enabled, he had absolutely NO backup...

No CD, iPod, download site, nothing...

How do you MC across an Instrumental PLAYING via Youtube?

the worst are the ones that go to the club with their friends & brag about how "oh tonite girl i'm going to run things, that dj is going to play what i say. or else" so while her girls obviously are most interested in being personal cum buckets for hire. she is busy making it her personal mission to live up to her promise. as her friends are leaving in their drunken bliss she is still blapping in their ear about "oh girl i made that dj work. fuck that i run shit" mean while her girls arent paying attn (in their mind they're thinking about what pharmacy is still open to buy plan b)....anyway

DJ Shady Lady 6:00 PM - 19 July, 2011
hes freakin terrible. i cant find anything i like about drake. his voice is imho the most annoying voice on the planet and his "music" is terrible. and some chicks love it. i dont get it. idprob do the discount too lol
jbnyc 6:01 PM - 19 July, 2011
This is a breath of fresh air!! I thought i was the only one who hated drake! (Read hate him,not hate on him) everyone around here seems to love him and nicky SMH but im not gonna front,i liked the aston martin music joint! XD

I cant play the original, at least with the remix i got i can pretend its really JJ Fad.



Also i dont get why yall get so freaked out about the ipod thing. I can understand in the middle of a set, that shit would get thrown across the room, but if its a rapper or someone performing and they are unprofessional enough to want you to rock a youtube vid or their phone.........ima put yall on.........ready, ready, ready???

You know what? I didn't even THINK of using the AUX input, but I don't own an iPhone, so you're telling me it uses a 1/8 inch jack?
CMOS 8:14 PM - 19 July, 2011
I use my iphone, that cable, and the aux in to switch DJs every friday. This way i dont have to bring the SSL power cord, the aux doesnt drop out when you unplug the box.

Yeah all consumer headphone jacks are 1/8th or 3.5mm.
DJ Dac 8:22 PM - 19 July, 2011
my blackberry and now my epic uses the 1/8th jack and both sound fine over the speakers

EWW, you plug it into the AUX of the SL1/3/4 box?

I'd never take that chance....

I was talking about plugging it into the AUX IN of the 56S.

But as for headphone jacks, my Blackberry has a MIC also, so it has 3 separators on the actual jack....

So that's why I was asking if you're saying that they're ALL UNIVERSAL now...

which I doubt....but I'll ask anyway...

i have used a stereo 1/8th with my blackberry and it always comes out in stereo with no problem, and i would never plug that into the serato box, directly into channel 1 on my 4 channel. its always plugged in ready to go, never know when the computer is going to crash... also its nice to plug into the external out on the lappy quickly for who knows what... and D:raf, its happened to me once a few years ago, gotta put it on airplane mode...

Nooooooo, it goes into the 56. I meant i can unplug my serato box and the aux keeps going, if i want to use a vinyl to swap DJs i have to bring the SSL power cord which i can never find before a gig lol.

I did a sweet 16 for a black girl. She came in with friends and family... When they saw me (being a white guy) they all rolled their eyes like oh boy, this is going to suck. Her grandpa came up to me after 30 minutes and said that it was too bad that I wouldnt be able to do a real hip hop set. Said that he use to carry crates for Grand Master Flash when he was younger.

I smiled and said that I'd do my best... went straight into white lines and that era. Did a bunch of scratching and tricks. Grandpa went nuts and stood next to me the rest of the night watching me and dancing. after that set I had all of the aunts/uncles up dancing and transitioned to newer stuff. I'm surprised the walls didnt collapse with how much energy we brought out.

I love gettin the white guy that kicks ass compliments from black people. When I lived in black neighborhoods when i was younger, I came in with no respect, then when i got to know everyone we all had great times.

no they all rapped differently, the thing was none of them really had the whole package it was all the pieces together that made it something.b The only reason he hit it like he did was all the other members left so he was left with full focus and full monetary resources behind him.

hot lil mynx: Play the limbo!!!
-->the limbo? like get a stick and go under it limbo?
YEAH!!!! PLAY IT PLAY IT...

everyone will make a conga line and go around the club... dont u have a mop or a broom
--> you cant be serious... this isnt a Jim Carey movie.
well, play something fun...
(enter shake shake senora beetlejuice/pitbull edit)

2.
while doing a very pedestrian juggle of Peter Piper, I catch this person walking up to the booth.
(mind you, this means they are kind of coming up behind me sorta)
Usually i put up the classic "1second" finger... but in the midst of everything, he saw i was working.
he walks rigth up when i shift my body to the right deck and grabs the left deck and starts
"scratching"
I was in shock for about 2 seconds.
then once i got my bearings I gave him the Ryu Hadouken and shoved him back about 10 feet.
he was just giggling and laughing.
staff was no where!
usually i have a booth bouncer....
I pointed him out about an hour later....and had him tossed.

*******FACEPALM*******

Last couple of years? You give them quite a bit more credit than I would. I've dropped N.W.A., B.I.G., 2Pac, etc. on a 30 and over crowd during the warm-up period and gotten damn good responses. Hell, even a 21+ crowd (amazing what 3 years difference makes). Those crowds will eat it up if you play some Aaliyah during opening warm-up. I dare you to try that on an 18+ crowd.

There's a reason I call them "Radio Top 40 Machines". If it isn't on the radio, they don't want to hear it. I opened up a set the other week with some stuff from 2010 and got told, "This is too old, can you play some Travis Porter 'Make it Rain'?" Damn, no one's even here yet and you want nothing but bangers? I tried to explain that to them. I even gave them the "DJing is like sex" speech. Pfft, they don't want to hear it. I might as well have set up a Serato playlist, set the deck mode to continuous, and let it ride because that's ALL they want to hear.

There's no opportunity for creativity with these kids. I remember going out to support one DJ I knew who was doing a high school cookout. He's had the crowd eating out the palm of of his hands - but he's only been playing radio Top 40 Hip-Hop and says he wants to try something a bit different. He mixes in "Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)" and the crowd dies. When the song gets to "Lift 6 Foot, 7 Foot, 8 Foot Bunch!", he begins to loop it over and over, speeding up each time as he cuts back and forth between each deck - and has my full, undivided attention. Dead crowd. He drops in the intro of "Lil' Wayne - 6 Foot, 7 Foot" (crowd still dead, by the way, though the sample has clearly changed in pitch and key) till the Lyrics actually start and there's something I can only describe as a delayed explosion. Kids are happy again. Now what I watched him do took skill and timing (especially to not fuck up during manual looping and dropping another song) - even the adults doing supervision in the audience were visibly intrigued. Crowd: Dead. No appreciation.

funny u said that! i had an 18 year old ask me for some "OLD SHIT" . I was like ok cool, I dropped some classics like RUN DMC. he comes back to the booth and tells me

Na man!!!! old school like Lil wayne and juvenile!!!!!


*******FACEPALM*******

Last couple of years? You give them quite a bit more credit than I would. I've dropped N.W.A., B.I.G., 2Pac, etc. on a 30 and over crowd during the warm-up period and gotten damn good responses. Hell, even a 21+ crowd (amazing what 3 years difference makes). Those crowds will eat it up if you play some Aaliyah during opening warm-up. I dare you to try that on an 18+ crowd.

There's a reason I call them "Radio Top 40 Machines". If it isn't on the radio, they don't want to hear it. I opened up a set the other week with some stuff from 2010 and got told, "This is too old, can you play some Travis Porter 'Make it Rain'?"

THIS!!!!! Its the same thing when you play a song with a 4 on the floor 128 BPM beat that they dont know and they say they cant dance to it but then you mix in something like party rock anthem they know and they start dancin...ITS THE SAME BEAT YOU WERE JUST BITCHIN ABOUT

The worst part about this is (at least in my area) is that 99% of the white people are terrified of black people ....but all they want to hear is Travis Porter, Rick Ross 2011, waka flocka, and lil wayne. I acutually went off on a girl who was on my facebook bitching that there was no where left to party in mobile cause everywhere is to ghetto....and on her page in the last 48 hours had posted links to about 3 new hood lil wayne songs and is a notorious requester of waka flocka and travis porter songs. Im like bitch you people are doing this to yourselves, you bitch at me for playing corney "pussy" music like britney spears and wanna hear something hard but when I play hard shit and hard muthafuckas show up you turn pussy, you dont go to a steak house, order a prime rib then bitch about the restraunt because cause your a vegitarian.

Back on topic though, was playing britney spears i wanna go and had a guy come up and bitch at me telling me to stop playing the techno remixs and play the originals because they are better.......when i WAS playing the original versions, i hadnt played a remix all night lol

thewevel 5:18 PM - 25 July, 2011
this is my most ridiculous comment while setting up saturday night:

i finished setting up all of my gear and was about to plug in my laptop when the bar manager comes over and says "oh yeah, you're not supposed to be here tonight." i look at her and go "but nobody told me that, also your marketing person said i would be here on the facebook page." at this point i was just trying to stay so i wouldn't have to load all of my shit back into my car. bar manager goes "yeah we're having a private party and they brought their own dj, i don't know why i didn't think about that when you walked in". i say to myself "fuck, really?" and call the marketing person who goes "i thought i emailed y--no wait, i put you on the facebook page today, damn it. yeah you're not supposed to be there. oops." thanks.

so i broke down all of my gear, found the valet who returned my car (which took 20 minutes), loaded all of my shit and went home. this was only my 3rd time there so i'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, but christ that sucked. thankfully they're paying me extra this saturday to make up for it but still, really annoying.

So, I'm at the spot waiting for the band to finish, they're supposed to be done by 11:00, me set up by 11:30ish..

So, they break into another song at 11:03, and go until about 11:17, talking about they went a "little" overtime...

Meanwhile I'm sitting next to moose of a chick at the bar, who I recognize as someone who's harrassed me in the past for some song, I couldn't remember the name, but I THOUGHT I remembered her...

So I say, "Hey, weren't you here before when I was DJ'ing?", and lord, she must have thought I was tryin' to kick it to her or sumphin... - She was like "Who ME? Nah, you must be mistaken"....

So, no biggie, mistaken identity...

Finally, band finishes, I get start setting up and she comes over batting them big MOOSE EYES, talkin' bout "Why didn't you tell me YOU was the DJ? Can you play "Spotlight"?

And then it hits me that this IS THE SAME MOOSE with the SAME REQUEST....

Deja Vu like a mug...

Glad she was too full of herself to realize she could have been feeding me a PRE-SETUP-PLAYLIST....

Thank gawd.

Me, i do the huh?!? look and say i'll see what i can do, thinking never heard of "Coconut Joe"....

Looking through the crates about 30 mins later looking for a different song after spending 5-7 mins looking for this "Coconut Joe", lo and behold what do i see......"Cotton Eye Joe". Get it cued up and ready to go next song, they skate away to it then leave. Couldn't even tell them the correct name, oh well...

no, i play around 120 ish but i never play the same shit, if you know what reading a crowd means,you would know that 500 songs wont cut it,specially if you are LATINO! if i play a dominican party its completely the opposite as if im playing a salvadoran party and the list goes on from mexico to chile lol and same goes for different clubs or ethnicities,but hey, if your 500 songs are enough for you,good luck!! :)

Dj-M.Bezzle 3:37 PM - 3 August, 2011
I have a new annoyance that has moved up to the #1 spot of things people are doing that get on my damn nerves in the club. Just so the situations clear heres the setting, as you all know the club i spin at is connected to the top floor of another club, you can walk back and forth for free but you have to pay to go downstairs in that club which is where all the action is but its free to sit upstairs and watch. Well I start spinning at my spot at 10pm and if its not busy we usually end at 3am, 4 if its busy and through out the night people will cut through to the other side to chill because their friends who are downstairs can come up there and hang out without them paying anything, so basically its an upstairs full of people who want to be in the big club everyones at.

Well for the last 3 weeks downtown has been super slow, pretty much spinnin to empty rooms until school kicks back in. Well at about 2 mabye 2:30 if the club next door is slow they will close the upstairs portion so they can save money, get cleaned up and force all the non broke people downstairs, so at this point ill get a wave of these broke whiny fuckers pooring into my spot and they all immediatley begin bitching because im not playing the tracks they want.

NO SHIT YOU ASSHOLES, how about you come in BEFORE we are pretty much closing and hear it when im playing them. They will literally come inand be like why are you playing slow shit i wanna get crunk play racks or no hands or ect ect, BECAUSE ITS THE LAST SONG AND WE CLOSE IN 5 MINUTES YALL AINT BOUGHT A DRINK SINCE YOU BEEN HERE AND IM READY TO GO THE FUCK HOME lol.

Can you play racks
No
WHY NOT
Because I already played it 3 times
I DIDNT HEAR IT
thats because you didnt bother to show up until 3:55 am, try showing up around 12,1m or 2 and theres a pretty good chance youll here all the songs you want to hear.

I had some chick (mind you a girl) who stalked me at the end of the night because I did not play her request.
I was doing mashups, buildups, mixing and blending different genres house, tech, hip-hop, reggae-ton, electro and this chick comes up to my stage and sits on the floor right next to me where I am standing in the middle of closing my performance and leans over and says "I love your music" followed by "I have a request can you mix some Soca with Reggae" Keep in mind I already bugged by the fact security did not notice her in the first place and second the fact he is sitting on the floor where I am will make her also continue to make her unnoticeable to them. So I told her politely "I am ending the show in less than a minute perhaps I will do that the next time."
She stated OK and walked off the stage and disappears amongst the crowd.

On leaving the club and walking out the door the chick pops out of no where standing directly 2 feet front of me saying " I am mad at you, you didn't play what I requested"
Typically this would not bother me but the fact she was starting to display all the symptoms of a psychotic stalker was not a good thing. She followed me through the parking lot even after I decided would go back to the club and wait inside for almost 2 hours before leaving.

Instead of going home I went to Denny's (where she again popped up at) then Walmart (where she popped up too)

What made my story even worse was it conected back to my fat bitch theory, th eonly thing i hate more than requests are people with shitty attitudes, the group that came in was a group of about 4 UBER FAT UGLY bitches, who of course on entering complain that im not playing motivation, so i play thaty for them, then this group of asian kids come in wanting to breakdance so i think hhmmm play slow bulshit for the bitchy fat hoes or good shit for the break dancers....BREAKS IT IS so after about 5 minutes a ton of people come in to see these guys, so these guys are breaking it up and these fat cow whores are givin me the death stare, i just smiled at them like fuck off so these fat cows graze into the middle of the break circle bumpin into these guys on purpose and trying to slow waddle dance to the break music. So eventually the breakdancers get pissed and leave so to save the crowd i played some dance with a chick shit, all the guys get on a girl and EVERYONE in there was dancing with someone EXCEPT for the fat bitches who of course race to the booth and bitch that the music sucks and i need to change it, after i told them to fuck off they slink back to their table, then a few hot chicks come in drunk as hell makin out so i started playin some stripper shit for them....these girls are p-poppin booty shakin puttin on a SHOW with everyone gettin into it and you can hear the fat bitches pointing and loudly making rude comments because noone was paying them attn....and of course i was getting the usual death stares and cutthroat hand signals. To give you an idea how bad it was one of them came running up durring look at me now and says "YOU SUCK PLAY LIL WAYNE" i asked what song, she says "I DONT KNOW WHAT SONGS HE HAS I JUST NEED TO HEAR LIL WAYNE"m so my boys crackin up and he loves that new lil wayne song john so he goes "ya dude she wants to hear john play john" and she starts screaming at him "No WAYNE not JOHN", which led to the most hillarious 10 minutes of back and forth i had ever seen

NO WAYNE
John is wayne
NO JUST WAYNE
lol.....johns waynes song
NO I WANT TO HEAR JUST WAYNE NO JOHN
no no no lil wayne does john
LIL WAYNES NOT GAY
no no no no no no johns his new song

Ok—in the 9 years since I got it done I’ve had 2 chicks try to pull the pregnancy trip on me. Before the Vas I used to have a lot more (even though I wear condoms FAITHFULLY). All those scares actually helped me make the decision to get it. From personal experience the only time a chick has pulled the “I’m pregnant” card was when she felt like she got played or used for sex. (go figure) They love to fall back on that because they know it will drive most guys insane.

Ok—here’s my 2 stories:

1) This one is pretty bland in the fact that I met this girl at a club (that I wasn’t dj’ing at) and we hit it off. We’re both on booty call status for a couple of weeks with each other. One night she calls me to come over and I tell her that I can’t because I’m heading out to the club again. She starts in with the “I thought we were more than just a booty call---I’m starting to fall for you---I could see myself dating you”, yada yada bullshit. So I simply remind her that it’s not like that for me, and that I’m just having fun and not wanting to get serious with anyone. That turns into an argument and I hang up on her about 15 minutes in. So… she calls back 3 days later and leaves a Voice Mail that went like this…

“I don’t know if you knew but I just wanted to tell you that I’m pregnant and you’re the only one I’ve been with. I hope you can be a man about it (fucking balls on her) and call me back to discuss what we’re going to do.” (this is code for “I’m keeping it”)

So I call her back and ask her if she was just bullshitting. She says no and continues to tell me that now I’m a part of her life and we’ll be connected forever etc. Then I tell her really calm… “well that’s funny that you’re pregnant because I got a vasectomy about 2 years ago…so I know that baby isn’t mine”. Stupid ass then tells me “you didn’t get a vasectomy because you still have your balls!” I let her know that she’s referring to castration and not a vasectomy. Then I have to sit there for 5 minutes explaining what a vasectomy is. Finally she asks...”so that means you can’t get girls pregnant?!?!” I say “Yup” and then she promptly hangs up!!! I knew where she worked and I made a sneak visit 6 months later and there she was…flat stomach and all. I didn’t have the heart to walk up to her.


#2 is much better!

This was about 5 years ago and I had won a free 4-day cruise through some work contest. I take one of my homeboys with me and we spend 4 days drinking, gambling and hanging out on the deck. First night, we’re at the little club they have and I meet this girl. We bullshit for a while and go back to her cabin and hook up. She was there with her family but she had her own cabin. My homie meets his own chick and all is good. Her and I head back to her cabin—fuck—and basically keep up that up each night for the whole trip.

Now—let me fill you in with this girl…. I used to have fake business cards made up so when I would meet a girl that was into “rich guys” or had that attitude…I would break out one of these cards. I had a fake company, fake title, (I think I called myself a VP of corporate relations) fake name, fake number (it was a pre-paid cell phone # that I would always seem to pick up—lol), fake address—the works. You’d be amazed what a business card does to people. It’s like handing them your birth certificate—lol.

Anyway… so when we were getting off the boat and picking up our luggage she kept hanging around me asking when we were going to hook up again. I was feeling like an asshole and told her “well—I thought what we did was just like a boat thing”. She got pissed and started telling me that I used her, that I’m just a player—etc etc. It started getting pretty heated so I told my homie to go get the car. After he pulled up I literally ran off—jumped in the car and headed home. So 2 days later I get the call….(I remember the conversation like it was yesterday)

Me: hello?

Her: yeah motherfucker is XXX (my fake name) there??

Me: Ummm—this is him.

Her: well this is XXX--- you forget about me asshole???

Me: (annoyed at this point) “Were you the girl I fucked each night on the ship?”

Her: FUCK YOU—yeah this is her!!

Me: Yeah… so whats up??

Her: Well guess what asshole—you wont have any problems forgetting me from now on because I’m pregnant with your fucking kid”

Me: (playing along) Ummm- we had sex like less than a week ago—how is that even possible?!

Her: ohh trust me—it’s yours and that little BMW you have is going to be mine soon along with everything else(I told her I drove a BMW)

#2 is much better!

This was about 5 years ago and I had won a free 4-day cruise through some work contest. I take one of my homeboys with me and we spend 4 days drinking, gambling and hanging out on the deck. First night, we’re at the little club they have and I meet this girl. We bullshit for a while and go back to her cabin and hook up. She was there with her family but she had her own cabin. My homie meets his own chick and all is good. Her and I head back to her cabin—fuck—and basically keep up that up each night for the whole trip.

Now—let me fill you in with this girl…. I used to have fake business cards made up so when I would meet a girl that was into “rich guys” or had that attitude…I would break out one of these cards. I had a fake company, fake title, (I think I called myself a VP of corporate relations) fake name, fake number (it was a pre-paid cell phone # that I would always seem to pick up—lol), fake address—the works. You’d be amazed what a business card does to people. It’s like handing them your birth certificate—lol.

Anyway… so when we were getting off the boat and picking up our luggage she kept hanging around me asking when we were going to hook up again. I was feeling like an asshole and told her “well—I thought what we did was just like a boat thing”. She got pissed and started telling me that I used her, that I’m just a player—etc etc. It started getting pretty heated so I told my homie to go get the car. After he pulled up I literally ran off—jumped in the car and headed home. So 2 days later I get the call….(I remember the conversation like it was yesterday)

Me: hello?

Her: yeah motherfucker is XXX (my fake name) there??

Me: Ummm—this is him.

Her: well this is XXX--- you forget about me asshole???

Me: (annoyed at this point) “Were you the girl I fucked each night on the ship?”

Her: FUCK YOU—yeah this is her!!

Me: Yeah… so whats up??

Her: Well guess what asshole—you wont have any problems forgetting me from now on because I’m pregnant with your fucking kid”

Me: (playing along) Ummm- we had sex like less than a week ago—how is that even possible?!

Her: ohh trust me—it’s yours and that little BMW you have is going to be mine soon along with everything else(I told her I drove a BMW)

You think you can just fuck me over like that??!?!! Fucking think again!!

Me: Trust me—it’s not mine so you go have your fake baby and hit up some other guy to give you money

Her” (She’s getting REALLY bitchy at this point) Well guess what….I want YOUR money motherfucker;

Yep, feeding the pigeons is the HARD WORK part that I referred to in the previous post. Personally, I have learned to enjoy this challenge. I don't mind feeding the "pigeons" so much anymore, in fact sometimes it is fun and keeps the night interesting.


What type of venues do you work? The approach you laid out would get you replaced in a large popular club. If you are speaking of bars or private parties this makes sense but other than that this seems like a good way to be looking for another gig. Plus if you are really working the crowd with live mixing, build ups, and working the mike it seems unlikely that the time would exist to have those type of conversations.

I had some old bint the other night moaning because I didn't have any wedding songs like "going to the chapel"

She said that there were hen parties in the bar every night. I respectfully said that hers was the first I'd come across in the 8 nights I've done there.

She then proceeded to ask for "dance music" when I was playing Duck Sauce & Martin Solveig...

They don't dance no mo
'They don't dance no mo'(what we doin is sittin around chillin)
They don't dance no mo'
They don't dance no mo'
Verse One:
Big GippYeah, uh, yeah
Did it, done it, run it, sayin "How you want it?" Leave it
when you finished let me dress it up and made it seem sweet
Like a beach in Martinique, Goodie back up on they feet
Set it straight for the nine-eight, license plate with the triple A
Callin all them cars, because the club be goin left and right
Throwin blows like them pros, runnin lows up in the night
Feelin numb from the cup I drank, holla at them thugs in the back
Baby what you lookin fo', Shawty I ain't showin no slack
Chorus: repeat 2X
People don't dance no mo'All they do is diss/this (3X)
Verse Two:
Khujo
They get off on holdin folks hostage
They good, fo' casin malls and leavin broken glass
where you park, those two inch white walls that was lit by cat eyes
Fools calm, triggers fourth and long, zone three
Deep coverage, man underWe used to break doin eighty-three
2 Live dropped, and we was Throwin That D
They don't fight with fists
They bring they piece
Pat everybody down, before they leave this piece
ChorusVerse Three:
T-Mo
Educate themselves, and went to jail, that filthy morgue
with the core, and high-powered restrainin mechanisms
Why is it? They slayin this last nigga, ready to sic em
but I stay cool,and observe them fool and let's just thank, and drank
and clear the way you think, actin out and about
that gat he pulled, that my partna sawed
And he worked quickly, was it worth it? He didn't deserve it
Predestined weapons for lessons that we learnedHOT, bullets burned
ChorusVerse Four:
Cee-Lo
Wellllll, my name is Sugar Low, and this is my trade
For years we been some players, what more can I say?
Saturday night at my dance, throw on a few clothes, uhh
Hit Atlanta live, and break a few rolls
Get some drinks, and stroll the halls, hold the walls
Just in case security can't control the brawls
I still roll the ball, but I done got a little too old
to get all sweaty dancin round wit y'alls
Chorus

LMAO @Dj-M.Bezzle
I had some chick (mind you a girl) who stalked me at the end of the night because I did not play her request.
I was doing mashups, buildups, mixing and blending different genres house, tech, hip-hop, reggae-ton, electro and this chick comes up to my stage and sits on the floor right next to me where I am standing in the middle of closing my performance and leans over and says "I love your music" followed by "I have a request can you mix some Soca with Reggae" Keep in mind I already bugged by the fact security did not notice her in the first place and second the fact he is sitting on the floor where I am will make her also continue to make her unnoticeable to them. So I told her politely "I am ending the show in less than a minute perhaps I will do that the next time."
She stated OK and walked off the stage and disappears amongst the crowd.

On leaving the club and walking out the door the chick pops out of no where standing directly 2 feet front of me saying " I am mad at you, you didn't play what I requested"
Typically this would not bother me but the fact she was starting to display all the symptoms of a psychotic stalker was not a good thing. She followed me through the parking lot even after I decided would go back to the club and wait inside for almost 2 hours before leaving.

Instead of going home I went to Denny's (where she again popped up at) then Walmart (where she popped up too)

WTF????

Lost opportunity for groupie sex.

I may have posted this before...my favourite of other (questionable) DJs asking to play...

Using turntables a guys walked up with a thick CD case and said "I'm supposed to DJ tonight as well" I've just said well, I've only got turntables so unless you've got your own CDJs I can't help you because I was not told about this whatsoever.
He came back every hour or so to ask if I'd set something up for him (far from my responsibility) and I was told later he'd basically just asked the promoters once if maybe he could play some tracks, not really organised anything, yet just turned up expecting he was playing.

Punter asked for Swagger Jagger.
(People outside of the UK won't know it - look it up, it's the worst song for years.)
Told her I don't have it.
Ten minutes later, I'm playing Turn My Swag On.
She comes back and says "thought you didn't have it, this IS Swagger Jagger."
Told her it wasn't.
"Aye it is. By Cher Lloyd."
I Told her it was Keri Hilson.
She argued with me for 10 minutes.

I wish I'd thought of this earlier - I should have told her, "okay, sing along to it"

I'm a white DJ. The club I'm resident at is very popular with the historically black university here, we have all kinds of Frat parties and stuff (we literally bus people in from the college dorms). Every new semester, incoming freshman (pretty much all black) swarm the DJ booth asking if I can play some Tampa (Florida) music, or Miami, or wherever they're from. It's pretty funny because I see the black DJ's don't get that problem, it's obviously just reverse racism, the assumption that a white DJ is going to play all radio dance music. Almost all the local guys and upperclassmen know what I do so it's kinda funny because they know the parties gonna be live.

The last group got on my nerves, these girls kept asking me for all these hot songs like 5 minutes after we opened. (these are not your typical dance club hot songs, or even radio, it's almost all underground mixtape music).

Girl: Can you play Buss it wide open
Another girl: can you play something we can shake our ass to
Another girl: (holds up her cell phone) Alyric - Bounce Dhat Azz (this was some really underground hood shit I never even heard of!!)
(this list goes on and on and on)

Finally, I said,
"Listen, I've been doing this for years now. Don't worry, I'm going to play all the songs you want to hear. I GOT THIS."

I played a few songs to kinda let everyone know what page I was on and the party went great.

I got the whole dancefloor bouncin. Not 1 person is on the wall. I thought I wouldn't be gettin ANY requests. Then, this dude requested this song from an artist I've never even heard of (I don't even remember his name). So I told him I don't have it and if he wants me to have it, write it down in my notebook and I'll have it next week. He goes "Why I gotta do that? You got a computer right there. Just go on the internet and download it." I go sorry, I'm DJing. He goes "Okay then, I'll even find it for you on your computer." and he tries to get on my computer. I said "My computer was custom built for DJing, so all that runs is this DJ program. I can't do anything but use this DJ program." He said it's not possible to do something like that. So I step back and say "Okay, go ahead. You'll see." Like I expected, he couldn't even figure out how to get out of SL.

Security has tear gas ready, so if anything starts to pop off, they bomb the place with tear gas. FUNK DAT.
Joshua Carl 12:12 AM - 22 August, 2011
serious... it starts with everyone thinking they are VIP.... becuase the club sold them a booth for 250.00
and they wont spend a dime more...
but they are vip... so they act a fool.

on the next level, everyone thinks they are a dj..
Ive had people walk up request a song, and if i dont say "yessir, its coming up right now, lemme just kill this song mid-chorus..."
they have some shit to say or do.

its one of the things I miss about vinyl..
"this is what I got, and thats it...theres no cd players, no where to plug your sony walkman into...deal with it"

now people are walking right up to your computer like they are your personal IT-guru...
Im gonna start tazing bitches....
Joshua Carl 12:24 AM - 22 August, 2011
shit... I guess the forums wanted me to STFU..I didnt even hit enter...

so, perfect example.
admittedly I am riding the open format train... I always have.
one of the good things about that is that alot of venues are so terrified of the crips & bloods
having a full-blown shoot out if you drop some hiphop...
so, playing everything... im able to use the argument:
"we cant say we play everything... then not play party-hop to a bunch of 21-31 yr olds in this room"

given that, its kinda fun to drop some motown, disco, 80s, ... I mean literally everything thats
dancable...

sure enough I had the bitch from hell last night.
place went from 10 peeps to 500 from 10-1045...
it was nice though, i didnt have a request until about midnight.
I think I was playing Kat Deluna drop it low...and this skinny lil straight off the hipster bus
chick comes into the booth... while Im mixing into Rain over me.
"can you play something new..."
>>>how about you pick a song rather a release date
(Admittedly, throwing the dickhead card when she presents the bitch card was a bad idea)
"well, play something good"
>>>> whats good?
"not this"
>>>(so rubbed me the wrong way at that moment...)
can I just point out one quick thing....look around....do you realize that you, me and the bouncers are the only people not dancing right now.... even the people at the bar are dancing.
that means you and I are 2 out of about 600 people that arent dancing...I think I got this.
walks away....stops mid tracks, turns around..
"how about Usher - Yeah"

Papa Midnight 12:32 AM - 22 August, 2011
So she ask for something new, then throws out a song from 2004? Get the hell out.

It's not. Younger crowds - especially Freshman and High School kids do that crap ALL THE TIME, especially inner city students + HBCU students (I'm black and DJ a lot of these crowds and deal with the same bs and more).

Well i just got a new thursday/friday residency and i have a couple FUNNY stories

1) Chick comes up and says play no hands. I'm like sorry. already played it. she says play it again, I say no, i do not play songs again, My Promoter picks her up from behind and puts her in the middle of the dance floor. She comes back 15 minutes later and says play no hands. and i'm like hold on..

I cue it up in headphones and slam them onto her head. she rolls her eyes, walks away, and doesn't come back the rest of the night!


2) Guy comes up to me last friday (keep in mind i'm SICK as HELL) Hey if you need someone to take over for a minute i can grab my laptop and plug in. I'm like oh man this could be a blessing but hold on.. So i ask him Do you have a mixtape? he says no. I said do you have a mixtape recorded? he says no. I reply if you don't have any type of mixtape your obviously not good enough to Dj here. so no thank you.
DJGeorgeT 4:27 AM - 23 August, 2011

I had to laugh playing at a private 40th bash a few weeks ago. Can you play Carl Douglas - Kung Fu Fighting? I have a "party" Crate for such requests.. Cue the girl in the pencil skirt trying to high kick and landing flat on her back. It's the only time you ever here Serato jump in relative mode. The thud was so loud I heard it over the music!

Hott? have to admid "me and my friend" would have got my attention... have to see the chick and her friend though cause 1 hott chick and 1 not so much chick are not even equal to one hott chick. It's like if you have one that is a 10, and one that is a 4, they average out to a 4.5 because IMO you're going to be thinking about how to get rid of the 4.

Hmmm but if there's ever a chance of threesome two 5s would easily equal one 10
Free Man 3:13 PM - 28 August, 2011
This isnt simple math... remember a 4 and a 10 doesnt equal 14... it equals a 4.5.
two 5's only = 10 if you are really drunk and they are identical twins. with good features. otherwise two 5's = a 6 or 7 because the threesome bumps it up a few points

I was DJaying at this one bachelor party and they brought in some strippers.... 4 of them and one plus size one.... and guess who surprisingly was the most expensive to book? Yes the big one....


lol.. they charge per pound...

i was just sayin that people have their ideal weight... once you go above it, points get taken off...

I dunno, I can find plenty of things for the 4 to do while the 10 entertains. If the 4 is cleaning my house she becomes a 9 and if she cooks breakfeast for me and the 10 I may just bump her up a notch.

I had it a while ago at a party...girl just walked directly up
"hey, me and my friend (both hot) we're wondering if you'd wanna have a threesome tonight?"
That basically caught me off guard and all I really came up with was "ah, well....yeah."

She hung around for a few minutes after that while I mixed the next track in, talked for another couple of seconds then went to the bar.

Didn't really think too much of it, seemed like it didn't make sense and figured there was some story to it. Talking to a bunch of other people throughout the night and apparently the same girls had been approaching nearly every guy asking the same question as a joke.

"uh, okay" *trying to mix in the next track*

"you should play beat dat beat"

"yeah, maybe later, I'll see what I can do"

Later that day....
"man, why don't you do that thing like Pauly D Where you scratch over the song?"

"Because I'm not very good at that yet, but unlike him, I understand that and don't do it when I'm playin for a crowd!"

Listen, when you're in an area where there's 50 people on every block that claim they're a DJ and will undercut you at a heartbeat you have live up to the expectations and show the owners and managers why they are paying you alot more than they pay the other guys and being careful about what you play and what you don't play is a big part of that.

Everybody always talks about the bad things that happen and don't really shine light on the good. I learned that a long time ago

i think i understand what Dynamite means , some people doesnt grasp the context that each DJ is unique , i got a few request for popular songs tonight and i have to politely refuse even if one of em offer me money to play it , its about idealism, i played mostly tech and progressive house , would be funny if suddenly taio cruz comes out on my set LOL , not that i hate em , i listen to top 4o music , its just ive built a reputation and style from long ago that i play a certain kind of music and to deviate from that , i dont think i can , people see my name on a promo they know what are they gonna listen to


















thats why i have another name when i play dubstep LOL

Haha! Fuck that! I was at a spot in LA a couple of years ago and a guy walked up and requested Green Light for $100. The DJ I was there with dropped it gladly with a shoutout. He came back 5 more times and for $500 more, he got his song played 5 MORE TIMES within the same hour. Easiest $600 I've ever seen made and I would have done it too!

Last night. I made the mistake of letting someone use my phone charger. This chick came up to the booth 10 times to plug in and unplug her phone. and of course. Every time she was up their. she had to make a request for some wackass song i hadn't ever heard of... THEN

and this takes the cake. Shes ATLEAST 50, and she comes up and says "whats the hottest strip song?" I say this is a hookah lounge, not a strip club LOL

The other thing that happened last night, was this chick came up and requested no hands, I say ill play it later in the night, she says why can't you play it next. And i gave her a 5 minute lecture on beatmatching! lmfao
DJ Dub Cowboy 11:38 PM - 3 September, 2011
last night I had a "fan" up in my space. I didn't mind her at first. She came up to me after watching a few mixes and told me she thought I was good. Then she asked me to teach her how to mix. 10 seconds later she reaches out the playing deck and scratches the record.

I said, "here is your first lesson, don't do that"

later she comes back and starts asking "what I will play next"

"2nd lesson, don't ask that just enjoy the ride"

finally she comes back right as I am about to drop a mix and start talking in my ear. Right as I held up the '1 second' finger she accidentally hit a button on my Dicer and started the track over. I was playing Toot it and Boot It so no one cared but I gave her the look of death for a second.

She apologized profusely and it was all good.

Then 20 minutes later I dropped Be Faithful and her and her friends jumped up in joy, throwing a towel in the process that landed directly on my deck stopping the track. By this time I just laughed about it.

overall it was a banging night and little things like that didn't stop the fun.

One guy was nice enough to even spell skrillex out for me, just in case I didn't get the point from the last 6 people...

I didn't spazz because It was a pretty big group and I didn't want them to leave, but I've never wanted to slap a group more than the people last night...

True Story! This hot Concierge breaks up with her man at a hotel staff holiday party and walks up to my booth on a platform where everyone can see her and grabs my cock and kisses me in the mouth and says, can I S*** ur D*** in the bathroom when you take a break??

She ended up going home with me that night and I dated her for a couple of months till she got back with her man ... (they have a kid together and she wanted to try and work it out) but that was the bravest move I've ever seen from a girl.

Can anyone top my story??

PS she found out her man was cheating on her at that party and that's what gave her the motivation to come up to me like that ... I was just in the right place at the right time I guess

I didn't say it would end my career. Read it again. "probably lose any chance of being booked there in the future"

Also, there are a few dubstep tracks I like but I'm not feelin anything by Skrillex. If I don't like it then why should I play it? Just because someone offers me $100 isn't gonna make me change my mind about it.

I've heard about weddings where the bride eloped with the best man after the wedding ceremony and before the reception... then I heard another one about the groom having sex with one of the bridesmaids in the bathroom during the reception, then there was one where the father of the bride died after the salad and before the main entree...they took him out the back door and asked the DJ to create a distraction so his death would not ruin the reception...

More of a stupid thing. Saturday night, the booth is on a kind of wooden stage, with tables either side of the booth. Had a couple of lads on the right occasionally getting up to go to the main room and back, but stomping down hard on the stage trying to make my needles jump. Did this 2/3 times during the night. SSL antiskip seemed to cope well though, just a little glitch in the sound. Don't know if they were upset about my DJing.

This girl comes up to me on an 80's and 90's oldskool night and asks for Rihanna. So i told her it's 80's and 90's night, so she starts banging on about how her mate is a DJ and I should play Rihanna because she knows what shes's talking about blah blah blah.
So she eventually leaves me alone but comes back another two times and is really giving me a hard time! She was quite attractive and had obviously spent a lot of time grooming (lol) herself before she came out. So she comes up for the final time and says
"are you going to let me choose the music now?" So i replied "pheewwww" and quickly move my head away from her. she says "why did you just do that?" I replied "it's your breath!!!"
She didn't say another word, looked all embarrassed and left!

Yeah that's the beauty of it, her breath didn't smell at all but it worked!

Gonna get me some Altoids.

I've decided the next time someone comes up and starts giving me a hard time i'm going to calmly ask them their name then drop the music and say on the mic either "-------- has just asked me to announce" and either "they have just come out as gay" or "is celebrating tonight because they lost their virginity!"

wonder how that would go down?

The other week this girl comes up and pops her head over the dj box and says "this song is shit" so i reply "yeah! so is your hair!"

I get a call from a girl I used to talk to but NEVER did anything with her cause I was married at the time. I think the thought of me being married is what got her more horny or something. She used to tease me a lot and I swear if I ever was tempted this was the worst.

Anyway, she tells me she's getting married and she wants me to DJ. So, I agree, the date is set and that's where it ends... for now.

The day comes and I'm single now. She knows this too. She's getting married at this hotel with the reception soon after. Mind you, I haven't seen her since we last talked in prior years. She tells me I need to set up early because she wants me to go over the details of the wedding. I get to the banquet room 3 hours prior to the event and the door is locked, no one in sight. I give her a call and she tells me she'll meet me there. She's got the keys.

She arrives and she's already wearing her wedding dress. She looks fucken' hot. It was an immediate turn on. lol. She even had the veil on and everything saying that she just loves it... blah blah blah. Girl stuff I guess. We go inside so I can check out where I'm setting up.

I tell her, "Too bad you're getting married and I'm finally single.. you definitely look hot!.. bad timing I guess.". ... and that was it. It's on. She locks the door and tells me, "Well, I'm not married yet." and grabs my dick. She goes down on me and right there and then gives me one of the best blowjobs ever. I'm thinking to myself... fuck this, I'm going all the way with this one before she's gone forever. lol

So, I have her stand up, prop her on the DJ table, and I start eating her like I haven't had lunch in years. lol. Fucked her right after that and even came inside her while doing her doggy style. lol - No way I would have ever done that if she hadn't told me she was on the shot.... and std's I wasn't worried about. So, fuck it. Why not.

Well, the wedding went as planned and blah blah blah... who cares. No one suspected a thing and I had one of the best memories ever. She hits me up from time to time but we don't even talk about it. We're just cool friends and that's it.

.... idiot me had my digital camera with me and never occurred to me to take pics... Yeah. I hate myself for that one.

I knew a chick that was like that. She swore up and down to me that she was single until one of her boys told me that she was engaged. I made sure I smashed it before she got married LOL

basically i had a thread detailing my journey as a DJ and i posted how shit can go bad in the club world cause i found some innappropriate communications between someone i work with and the girl i was datting\employee of mine. Johnny took the story and ran with it and by the time johnny was done spinning the tale the story i was married to her and was also the cameraman while she filmed bukake porn with a major NFL franchise.

Yeah I actually trust my girlfriend %100 percent. If I didn't trust her I wouldn't stay with her. If she does something shady then its her loss. The hard part is getting them to trust you... Which you pretty much give up on after the first few months

Everyone in the club was dancin except for 3 chicks just on the wall in the back. So I got up on the mic and called them out for it. They came up angry.

Girl: "Can you stop playing this whack music?"
Me: "Everyone's dancing, so I think the music is fun, but I need a laugh, so what do YOU want? I've played every type so far and you haven't danced once. Want some country? I'll throw on some country."
Girl: "We want something we can shake our butts to."
Me: (I was doing a routine with all butt shaking songs) "Okay, I've got an idea.. You need to learn how to dance." and I turned around, ignored her, and kept DJing

I can't stand the Reggaeton requests,

what they really mean is "can you play Gasolina"
anytime I play anything newer they look like lost sheep.

the other one I get too often is: (and this is for sure a regional thing)

"can you play some Mac Dre?'

which really means "can you play one of the 3 songs I know by him" (Get Stupid, Thizzle Dance, or Feeling Myself)
anytime I dig deeper into the guy's (RIP) prolific discography I get more lost sheep.

also I didn't get the latest script update but I have had a few people ask exactly this:
"can you play some afrojack or benassi"

twice it was via the text on a phone method. 2 different people, 2 different venues, same text

I had an HOSTILE request for Walking on Sunshine by the Pretenders this Saturday.

one of my newer peeves are the people that instantly HOSTILE as soon as u clue that u might not play it....

it went something like this.. (keep in mind im a big 80s fan and love The Pretenders & Chrissy Hynde)

--we are all here from new jersey for my friends birthday party....can u play a song for the birthday girls older sister?

Oh, really... what about the birthday girl....
--Nah.... you have to play this song for her sister....
oh, ok... What song?
--Walking on Sunshine...
the Pretenders???
--yeah
Im sorry... i cant, not here anyways..but I do love that song.
--Then fucking play it.
I really cant... not here... its all newer stuff here.
--what the fuck, we paid alot of money to have this party here....
ok... well for the last 3 hours nothing seem to be amist....
--you fucking suck, play the fucking song asshole...
(heres when I get to twist the blade....)
[pretending I didnt hear that ...I goto my computer...and cue up the video so its visable]
Im sorry... i didnt hear you... what?
----you fucking suck, play the fucking song asshole, this blows, no one likes this...
I point to my screen.... she squints and goes....

--"oh.... well...ok"

[Then I proceed to hit eject....]
I was already to play the song for you. had it loaded and ready to, no matter how much shit
the owner was gonna give me....
but then you said THAT... so you no what... next time come with sugar, not vinagar and maybe you'll get further....When your asking someone to help you it might work better if you dont sandwich
the requests with a sailor mouth insults...

didnt see her again.

Ok Joshua, gonna be the music nerd and help you re-tag "Walking On Sunshine".
It's by Katrina and the Waves.
I don't think the Pretenders covered that joint, cuz I'm a big Chrisse Hynde fan too.
Although Katrina does kinda sound like Chrisse,
not as gangsta though!

I have had more than one occasion where I am playing the Blacksheep video, and some fresh21 tard comes up and says "aw man, you should be playing the one with the hamsters!"

Why you guys hating on Black Sheep for their song being used in a Khia commercial. It's business. They got bills to pay too. If you had a 15+ year old hit song and someone came to you offering you money to use it in a commercial you know you'd do it. That's good money right there.

and then taking notice that the SAME COMMERICIAL represents the WATERING DOWN

H: Ya know improv music, where they do the drums and stuff?
M: Oh, you me acapella?
H: Yeah, that's it, I love that stuff.
M: Nope, sorry, I don't have any.
H: Yeah I really love it, it's all I listen to, I have a cd out in my car.
M: Really? Yeah, I'm sorry I don't have any.
H: Yeah, it's really good.
I then gave him the polite smile/smirk/getthefuckouttahere look.

I hardly get any requests at this joint, but when I do, I really want to kill people, because it's the most out there shit, mostly due to the location. Even the decent requests like Kaskade, come from some neo-new age snotty, hot bitch.

Djed for black people are always shitty.

It was for my friend, and I was playing New Orleans Bounce, everyone was dancing but they wanted to play sex songs and then everyone would stop. I had no power, then they kept hitting my speakers and complaining. Then complained music was to loud, when everyone was having a blast.

Play something fast

They kept begging to play all the good music first, fucking bastards.

Everyone does that, not just black people. It's more of a young crowd thing.

Hell, bonus points if you play the song again because their "friend just got here"

Here's the thing. I already have filed away that he may be a closet racist, but am willing to see if his behavior changes going forth. Some people are IGNORANT vs. RACIST, and IGNORANCE can be unlearned...so giving the benefit of the doubt...for the moment, there's no need to dwell...

Why don't you take out Lil Wayne, Drake, Jay-Z, Kanye, Beyonce, Fat man scoop, Black Eyed Peas, etc. Out of your playlist and see how much non-back music you could play before having to complain about DJin for the race that made it.

I think this got blown out a little by his accent that may have translated to sound a lot worse than he meant. It can be frustrating playing for a crowd from a different walk of life than you (a whole different culture) and not seem to be able to please them no matter what then it almost seems like they don't like you because your a different race. What was said was obviously very stupid. "Djed for black people are always shitty." You can tell he doesn't speak very good English and probably meant "I really don't like DJing for a more soulful people because I can't seem to please them." But I have no clue I just wanna see more ridiculous comments/requests!

This is what's wrong with society in general...this is the everyone gets a trophy society.

First he never apologized nor did he feel he did anything wrong.
Second he's got 15 DJs in here making excuses for him from his grasp of the language to ___
Third, I'm from ____ so I can't be racist. My wife is _____ so I can't be racist. Is this 1980?
Next, we have the ignorance vs racism debate; just for clarification you can be both ignorant and racist, which IMO he is.
Lastly, he did this in New Orleans? If that isn't a "Come On Man!", I don't know what is....

Or is that racist because I generalized New Orleans?

Oh yea, it can't be racist because I'm Mexican and we are a downtrodden race just like all of the other "minorities". I guess I'll just mash some beans and make some babies and go cut some grass...<Not racist because I'm Mexican.

Apples and Oranges. By the definition presented to Bill, head did not count, and, under that "[he] did not have sexual relations with that woman".

What was said above was flatly wrong and the response was the typical "justification" of "How can I be racist? I (have (a) black friend(s) / girlfriend / wife / [____] / ????") / ("(Live) / (Was born) in _____").

The further apology is a classic "Non-apology apology" which might as well have said (en.wikipedia.org). So... because you don't think anyone was offended, that makes it ok?

I can acknowledge that but it can really be annoying when something is said that is so blatantly wrong on a public forum and it's just swept under the carpet like it never happened with a simple "lol man I messed up". There are times when certain mentalities should be kept to ones-self; that's especially if you would never say such things behind the veil of anonymity known as The Internet.

LOL! Y'all act like it wasn't addressed. I have to assume he didn't think there were black people on this forum. I let him know he was wrong.

MOST RACISTS wouldn't even let the words "I'm sorry" come from betwixt their teeth.

He at least mouthed the words, and MAYBE he didn't realize how charged his words were, but it SEEMED like he was at least going in the right direction of an apology, so I have to give the benefit of the doubt.

The cloak of the internet puffs up a few chests, but they can easily be deflated. Even though the internet may provide a fake veil of being "untraceable", that same internet can provide a Street View of where you live.

Hate to say I Told you so... But...

In the interest of keeping this thread moving along, I took my problem w/ what Ramping said behind the scenes. If you love Hip-Hop so much, then respect the culture and the race that started it. If it wasn't for black people your Pakistani family would've been slaves off the boat. #RealTalk

I'm all for getting back on the discussion topic.... But before we do I gotta say this: As a whole we as a forum need to monitor this type of behavior and NOT turn a blind eye to any racism. Everyone is ready to express their feelings to someone with wack, mixes, videos, websites, presskits, remixes, or scratches, but when a forum member says something derogatory about a whole race of people only a handful of people stand for whats right. #ComeOn

If he didn't say Blacks but said Jews, Asians, Latinos, Mormons, Muslims, or something else and you were that, you would've taken the same offense. If we address these issues when they happen, people will think twice about posting these kind of comments.

I know a lot of people who feel that way... They have some songs I can't stand, but I actually like a handful of their songs a lot and like throwing them in to spice up a set. You can't deny their ability to consistently write hits. More annoying than them though is the million copycat bands who try to sound just like them that are all over commercial rock stations. I blame Nickelback clones (Theory of a Deadman, etc...) for the the current stagnant state of commercial rock music. Kinda like Lil' Wayne and Drake on the commercial rap side of things.

They are gar-bauge'. If you google "Nickelback sucks" there is a ton of supporting evidence on this subject.

One time at a bar gig, I got a request for Nickelback. I knew the dude requesting the song, He was like: "Play some Nickelback Nin!"
I replied: "Nah man. Can't do it"
Him: "Why Not???"
Me: "Because they're God awful"

We both laughed.

Straight up, you can blame Chad Kreoger for that one, he produced several bands, first one, theory, they had a really good sound to start off with, once chad was involved, down hill just like nickleback. and i just feel bad, 1) they're a Canadian band, 2) they're from alberta, which is where i live in Calgary, them- hometown Hanna....at this point, too close for comfort.

Worst wedding of my career. (none of it my fault tho) Booked on a FRIDAY for SUNDAY! That was my first clue. It was at a no-name restaurant in mid-town NYC (second clue)

Arrived 2 hours early. Restaurant was setting up. Manager did not know where I was to set up. 2nd manager arrived and said she "thinks" I'm upstairs. I would really need to know before lugging all my gear up 2 flights only to move it again. Anyhow, I setup upstairs and soundchecked by 300pm (4:30pm start, 4hr gig). For some reason, my wireless mic was giving interference (Subways? UFOs?) and I switched to the wired.
The couple arrived about an hour late. Dinner was held until then. at 8:15, the Bride and Groom came to me to ask about more time. I gave them the policy ($120/hr) and the Bride was about to reach into her purse. The Groom stopped her and said, "That steak you just ate was about $120, how about we call it even?" I saw the horrified look on the Brides face, so instead of just walking out, I told him, I'm not in a position to baragin. He said, "I'll give 80bucks." I told him again, "I'm not in a position to bargain". He said, "What if you get nothing?"

I told him, "When you look back at your wedding day years from now, there are a few things that you dont want to be in memory; haggling at your reception, the look on your brides face when she realizes you have no class, or being arrested for theft of services. The choice is yours." He walked away, and the bride apologized and gave the OK.

The only reason I didnt just leave at the contract time was the look on her face when the Groom started in on the rates. She's in for a rough ride. During the cake cutting, he grabbed her and put her in a headlock and smashed cake in her face.

Part of me wanted to take this fool out in the alley for a "talk"

my contract has a clause giving me rights to use any pictures taken at the event. So if i see something on FB, i can download and use it if i want. I can talk to the photographer and if they give me a pic i dont have to ask for any written permission because i got it when they signed the contract =)

If everyone is all good with it, then cool... but this was one of those situations where you would never think it was going to happen... He was drunk, I'm sure... and she was not.

I was doin a wedding at a country club. before the cake cutting they put down a little tarp kind of thing on the carpet around the cake. covered the cake plus about 3 feet. the funny part is the bride/groom got crazy! to the point where they were grabbing handfulls of cake and making balls like it was snow and throwing it. anyone within 25 ft got cake on them...

so looking back the fact that they put that little thing on the carpet still makes me laugh a little.
2nd thought is how expensive those cakes are... and they threw it everywhere. guess thats better than left overs... lol
Idlemind1999 4:25 PM - 24 October, 2011
I noticed that (as expensive as they are) few people even eat it. Sometimes they dont even take it in the back to cut it until the end.. and while I'm packing up my gear... They ask if I want some... and I usually have a cooler full of cake slices...

DJing at a wedding about a month ago, bridesmaid comes up to me with a HUGE slice of cake "Here, have some cake" she said. And I'm not really big on sweets, so I politely say "No thanks" but she insists so I say "ok' just to get her to leave and just when I'm about to grab the plate, she lets go of it and "SPLAT" right on my spinning turntable!
She just turned around and walked off, without an apology or offering even a napkin (cunt)
I've been cleaning bits of frosting off my tonearm and needles and CV ever since...

DAMN!!

That reminds me of this catering hall in Jersey. They do a "Fire Show" before dessert. Basically a guy throwing handfulls of cinnamon into an open flame. I got a warning from the previous DJ and had a tablecloth covering my gear... but when the thing was over, I couldnt see... couldnt breathe and the tablecloth was covered in this fine powder.. so small it even went into the fabric. Luckily no damage..

just to clarify... was it on purpose? any kind of reaction "whoopes"?
O.B.1 6:03 PM - 24 October, 2011
I'm sure it was not on purpose, and she may have not even noticed because she turned around as she was passing it, and she was probably 3 sheets to the wind (drunk) - maybe "cunt" was a little harsh but I was mad!

I actually had some good requests the other day, no thread for that though. lol

Well, I played a new club in a new town but was familiar with the promoters so they know they are booking me for me not for the jukebox factor. I had 2 people come up and ask " excuse me but do you ake requests"? I went into instant jerk mode but caught myself before my mouth opened. These people didn't just shout and tell me what to play, they asked if the could suggest something.

I was a bit taken back and really liked that.... Can't say it's played out that way. I said Not really but what are you looking for and I honestly checked the library for any songs by that artist. No dice but they didn't care, they kept dancing.

skinnyguy 1:46 AM - 25 October, 2011
not a ridiculous request, but dunno where else to put it...

haven't done a club gig in a while, but i just covered for a friend this past weekend. it's a small club, maybe the size of a garage. seriously. 20 people in there makes it look kinda busy.

format is top 40-ish, electro-whatever...the guy i'm covering for basically tells me to have a good time. while playing for the top 40 crowd, one lady comes up and asks me to stop playin the top-40 crap and PLAY WHAT I WANT. she says she understands about mixing, blending, layering, and all that and doesn't wanna hear top-40 crap (and does the "nobody wants to hear top 40 either" comment). crowd is enjoying the top-40 stuff, btw. i decide, "f**k it", since i hardly do clubs nowadays and start leading the crowd in. start with some electro remix stuff before i go into some deeper stuff. crowd starts thinning towards the end of the set (a quick 15-20 min set) but it was quite refreshing. lady comes back and practically forces a tip on me of $20. and yes, she was dancing for that set.

About this time is when anything else preceding and succeeding that statement is typically rendered moot to me. But...

Quote:

This probably makes her better than most. Not sure if I would've gotten to this point though. Typically, when a place has a specific format, it's for a reason; i.e.: if I go into an "urban" hip-hop only club and start playing dubstep, it probably would not end well...
DjayRage 3:41 AM - 27 October, 2011
So for years this promoter has been trying to get me to come out to this spot to possibly take a night over. After sort of getting burned out lately with mobile gigs I figure let me go check it out (thinking about doing more clubs now that I'm done with school & don't need the extra $ that mobile gigs was bringing).
Walk in and have to get patted down by the bouncer!?! -2 points
Then get greeted by tipsy promoter & she's like "what do you think?".
Me: it's empty?
Her: Yeah it's slow tonight
Me: it's a Friday night!
Her: See the bar (introduces me to all the half nekkid bartenders & waitresses) you can have anything you want when you work here
Me: I'm married & don't drink when I'm working
Her: So when do you want to start working here?
Me: When you actually get people in here!

I don't mind promoting a place & getting people in there, but my primary job is to make people dance. I can't f*ck with promoters that expect me to do their job for them.

Thats what it is coming too. We are doing the promoters/club owners work! thats ass backwards!
djbigboy 7:53 PM - 27 October, 2011
You guys act like this is new. RE: the line between dj/promoter has always been blurred. Yes, owners DO expect djs to promote their events. Some have OVERLY high expectations that just because they booked dj so and so, they should get XXX amount of people through the club. You have to take an honest look at the industry, and think about the things that really matter to a club owner. I don't know how you could think skills matter more than people getting through the door. The whole celebrity dj thing would be dead of skills mattered. You have to market and promote in order to survive, especially if you are in a big market.

Now, promoters thinking that its a dj's job to get people through the door. That's different. But overall, it has to be a team effort. The club owners have to put some money down on the marketing and branding, the promoters gotta promote, they gotta get mini promoters that bring their friends in, and quite simply, the dj has to promote their event. If you are a young dj, coming up, you gotta work harder but you have so much to gain. If you are an older cat like me, you know, the looks fade, the skills don't. But you gotta get your peeps out there....it's so rare that a club owner/promoter will hire you based on the fact you are a good dj alone....

Joshua Carl 8:55 PM - 27 October, 2011
my job of getting people through the door rests in my DJ reputation, and my work as a DJ.
getting mixes to people, being a professional. playing a proper set.

all the things we do right as djs are promoting....
people see ____ on a flyer and say... oh, yeah, he's dope/sucks

whats not my job, to do the actual LEGWORK of the promoters and compile a list
and spam/txt the fuck out of all my friends to try to get them to come out.
I tell promoters all the time when WACK djs wanna spin, and the promoters let them
because they "bring a list of 50 people" (and of course work for $50 and a few drinks)
my response is always, some brings 50 people to a club, and cant dj,,,thats a promoter.
why fool yourself, hang up the wavie-goggles and stick to promoting.

but its seriously come to this:
Start facebook page or 2, or 3, or 4
get everyone on it... blast it tues-friday.
book 5 djs who all will bring 15-40 people each)
collect money at door.
underpants.
repeat.

so the leg work consists of sitting at a computer for 3 hours a week.
why the hell should I do it.... Im going annoy everyone with invites
(knowing damn well 50%+ of DJs friends lists are industy folk who are working)
so 40 of them can show up and now YOU make another $400 for doing absolutely NOTHING.
then turn around and try to pay me less on top of that.

SCREW.

My post wasn't really aimed at you Josh in general, but it still makes me laugh that djs are in shock that djs with no skills can make wayy more money than your avg unhyped but skilled club dj...its been like this for a long time...

You hit the nail on the head though...we should be promoting our events but not to the point where you are putting in the legwork as described by Josh...if you are doing legwork, you should be getting paid as a promoter as well....
DjayRage 1:31 AM - 28 October, 2011
Yeah I guess I should have been more specific.
I don't mind helping to get people in the door. I think it's a group effort for a successful night. From the bouncers not being dicks to everyone, to the bartenders being polite, everyone that works in the venue plays a role. But I don't feel I should be doing someone else's job, I've been there and done that. I've been there and done that over the years. There was one night when the Fire Department shut the place I had a residency at during peak time and I helped the valet's bring back people's car because they couldn't keep up! Buuuuuut unless I'm getting a cut from the bar/door it's really not worth it for me to go out of my way to do a promoters job.

The trend I have seen the last few years has been promoters getting cute girls (and sometimes guys) to promote for them in return for free drinks/bottles and entrance to the club. Sadly I'm starting to see even some of these DJ's doing gigs and promoting for pretty much the same "payments".
If you don't see your see yourself as business, and treat it as such, then people will just take advantage of you.
DjayRage 1:39 AM - 28 October, 2011
That reminds me of another "trend" I've seen a few times the last year or so. Mofo's asking if they could put on my headphones and take a picture as if they are DJ'aying!? GTFOH..

Ridiculous Request? Not so much but a lesson learned on my part....

About :30 min to close I go into a 10-12 min mix of 90s and then last call and then Cumbias. At closing a drunk chick comes up and offers $100 if I go back to 90s for another set. I'm in a hick town and they close at 1am. No if's, ands or buts!

So I look towards the owner and he is closing the bar down so I say the obligatory sorry...can't. She walks off and I see them put down six more beers at a table so I jump into that 90s set....8-10 minutes. Owner's wife comes by and give me the high sign and I fade out. I look around and the drunk $100 chick is gone; she had her hand in her purse when she offered and I turned her down.

So I go to settle up this afternoon and tell him the story and he said "SHIT, I woulda took it". So now I know..but I doubt another offer like that will come along anytime soon. Salt in the wound - He adds, she's loaded and owns a salon down the street!!!! FML...

Yep - $35,000 less 20,000 in expenses is different than "getting" $35,000
TheMasterOfCeremony 2:42 PM - 24 November, 2011
So this was a few years back, I was booked from 10pm til 1am something like that.

So I start off playing some warm up tunes (hip hop/ r&b night) and at around 10:30 there are about 25 people in the club (club has a capacity of 500, so you get it, still pretty empty)

This other DJ who's supposed to play at 1am comes to me with an attitude:

Other DJ : "Man I'm going to take over mixing now"
Me : "I'm booked til 1am"
Other DJ : "you're killing the party, nobody's dancing"
Me : "It's 10:30, i've been mixing for only half an hour, only 25 peeps in here, they'll dance when some more people arrive, relax man (being super polite, although he was a total ass)"
Other DJ : "at least play some club bangers, not this old shit"

(I was playing typical old school r&b everyone was vibing to, I could tell by the heads nodding to the beat, the smiles towards me, people yelling out like "oooh that's a nice track" and all that)

Me : "Man don't worry I'll get there real soon, it's just the beginning of the night, go get yourself a couple of drinks, enjoy and you'll see, your turn is at 1am so you'll play all the club bangers you want and I haven't played yet"

Other DJ walks away, goes talking to the party promoter and came back just like a spoiled kid:

"He said I could play for an hour now, so I can get this party started"

So I let this guy take over, like OK whatever, if you really feel the urge to play now, no problem, I can wait an hour and see what he's going to play, maybe I'd be so surprised of his incredible skills and talent. Maybe he can read into the crowd even better than I do. Maybe he'd become my DJ superhero from that day on... But that didn't happen.

So he started playing all the club bangers you could think of (it's 10:45 more or less, 40 people in the club) DMX - Party Up / Fatman Scoop - Love like this (Put your hands up party break, that kind of songs)

NOBODY danced, worst thing is people came to him and started requesting ...

the first person who came to talk to him asked him to play some more warm up like the first dj who was here cuz it was too early for those tracks since nobody was there yet. DJ told him to go away and let him do his job.

Second person who came 5min later: "Man, I love those tracks but ... NOT NOW, please, we liked the other DJ's music, don't you have anything like that?"

I had to hide my smile :p

He didn't give a shit, played 1hour like that until around midnight, and tells me I can take over "This crowd really sucks man, good luck, (with the ugliest grim ever on his face)"

(I didn't mention he's so short he had to stand on a freaking flight case to be able to mix)

So I take over and from the first song on, everybody stood up and started dancing... (by midnight the club was nicely packed but nobody was dancing until that moment)

There are days like that, you feel the crowd, you know exactly what to play to make em go crazy, that night was exactly like that for me, but not for him.

He didn't say a word to me anymore from that moment on, started packing his stuff and 15mins later left the club, didn't say bye, NADA !

I LOL'd

twice

Actually (I'm from Brussels, Belgium) and they paid a LOT for him to come all the way over from Paris just because he's a family member of a French rapper (who did one hit single and disappeared).

He probably promoted himself the right way I guess...

Funny thing is that if he had waited until 1am and played his club bangers at that moment, he would've probably rocked the place.

That's why I LOL'd

DJ Lewshis 12:48 AM - 25 November, 2011
There was this one annoying chick requesting off the wall songs to me that didn't make sense, so finally, after the 5th request, I tell her "None of your songs make sense to play! EVERYONE is dancing to what I'm playing. Every time I HINT towards your direction, people start leaving the dancefloor." She's like "I'm trying to get people dancing, cause obviously what you're doing isn't working." The dancefloor was packed, so I just ignored her.
Then I leave to take a piss. I come back a few mins later and that bitch was up in the DJ booth, on my computer, messing with the turntables.
I go "Bitch what in the FUCK do you think you're doing? Get the fuck out!" She gets thrown out by security and gets blacklisted from the club for life.

I thought I had to change musical genres to make it clear to people that there was a change in DJ's. So since he had been playing only hip hop bangers for an hour, I just dropped some ragga/dancehall music, first song was "Duty Wine" from "Tony Matterhorn". Instantly changed their mood !

He left earlier but still played his 1hour set... So, no, they paid him. I think he was paid in advance and it might be because of that that he wanted to play earlier than planned. He still had to drive back to paris. Which is a 3 - 4 hour drive from Brussels.

It was pretty ridiculous when this guy who begged me to let him apprentice until I finally did punched some chick I was banging on the regular in the DJ booth at the club I had a residency at in those days. I had his ass thrown out and barred then banged his wife in that same booth during one of next weeks sets. Having a booth I could sneak off and bang in DURING a set was SOOOOO NICE! : )

This past Saturday at the start of the night I was at the bar getting a drink, and this guy approached me.

He was just making small talk, and then asked me If I knew this other dj guy in the area. I told him yes, and he told me that this other dj dude has sex w/ men NH NM?!?! I tell him that's really not my business, and to each their own etc...

He then asked where I was from, and I told him I was born in D.C, he responds that he was from D.C too blah blah... I get my drink, and go back to the dj booth.

End of conversation.

At the end of the night one of the doormen asks me If I had a friend in here from D.C. I tell him I met this dude at the bar, but I don't know him at all. Apparently he walked in on the dude in the bathroom telling a story about how me knew me back in the day in D.C, and used to beat up all of my friends?!? The doorman looked at the dude, and he just put his head down and left the bathroom.

Not sure what he was hoping to accomplish about lying to a bunch of dudes in the bathroom about knowing the DJ, and beating up his friends "back in the day".

Also it's kinda odd to talk about another dude's orientation to a stranger. I think something else may have been going on w/ that guy...


Definitely a first.
MonStar67 1:30 AM - 13 December, 2011
In the next version of his storytelling he will be saying that you are the one having sex with men (NH/NM)...lol Unless I know a person or i'm in a business setting I always LIE about where I am from etc... Not their business anyway. Just be glad he wasn't telling a story about how he had just busted one in you (NH/NM) ...lol

There is a lot to be said in the word practically, or maybe i should say a lot that "practically" doesnt live up to.

If i was single still... there are ways to turn that into a positive night... Here's what i would have done...
Ya know, I love Indian culture. The food, the music, and wow indian women are beautiful... but i have absolutely no clue when it comes to finding good music. I like it but, i dont know where to find it or even names of artists. I am really busy right now, but how about if we get together after i'm done here and you can help me out.

Girls do this crap all the time. They like to brush up on you thinking that you're going to cave in just because they have tits like we're new to this or they're the only ones who've done that (like we're dumb enough to think they're actually going to put out). Looking good, writing hearts and xo's and crap on notes, or brushing up on me won't get you a request.

At the end of the night throw in that Punjabi MC joint from like 8 years ago, mix out after the first verse, and tap that @$$!!! I played that in a club a few times back when it was new, it's got HOVA on it. It's worth it for a little variety in exotic trim. Don't ya think?

Any other time I would encourage such nonsense, but, Dynamite has shown a bit of class. He also has a logo without a silly picture of someone else who actually does work out wearing a goofy gimp mask. And although Dynamite may not be the most original handle, it's lightyears ahead of "latindj". Furthermore, if you're trolling for someone to wear a gimp mask and share your flute with, you're in the WRONG forum here.

I'm a mobile and my wife is usually with me and it's kind of awkward when they do come up "linger". A lot of times I'll get her to run interference so the back of my head don't get burned by her laser eyes!!!

I am mildly attractive guy, and somewhat middle aged (lol) and its funny to see chicks try so hard for their dumbass request...in my mind I am thinking "I have seen girls way hotter and younger than you, with less clothes on (i have done playboy parties, lingerie shows, dj'd in hot ghetto clubs to hot upperscale clubs, I have seen it all)...you can't impress me by putting your tits on me." And out in the real world, I just can't be impressed (especially when non Dj friends are going crazy)...impress me by being able to speak clearly and have a nice demeanor about you...

I'll agree to disagree. I'm going to say that desensitized is the wrong word to use. I'd prefer "saturated". I hope I speak for at least most of us when I say DJ'ing heavily expanded my... access to... attractive women. It's not nearly as distracting when it's so much easier to get a hold of!

New to the forums, read the last 200 or so posts. Some comedy gems in here. Somehow I found this thread while searching for whether or not I can use a DJM-800 and x1 at the same time with VSL but anyway...

Not sure if this will translate well in text but here goes. I was dj'ing at my usual Saturday night place earlier this year. This girl comes up to me and the following conversation ensues:

Her: Can you play Super Bass? (she pronounces it like the fish)
Me: You mean Super Bass? (I pronounce it the way she meant)
Her: No, that new Nicki Minaj song, you know...*proceeds to sing it horribly*
Me: Yeah it's called Super BASS, like the frequency, not bass like the fish.
Her: Oh. Well can you play it anyway?

Another good one, not really a comment but funny nonetheless. At the same place these two girls come up to request a song. They're regulars, there every weekend, and pretty hot but also a bit snooty.

They come up to me from the side and ask for their song. I can't hear them too well so one of them tries to get closer. As she does this she trips over the surge protector cable running from my coffin to the receptacle and pulls it straight out. Of course it's one of those receptacles that's set into the floor so I couldn't tape down the one part of my cable that she tripped over.

Everything loses power, except my laptop (fully charged battery FTW), and there's no music. The place starts booing but not everyone could see what happened. I straighten out the prongs as best as I can, plug the cable back in and power my mixer and turntables back on. As soon as the mixer starts up I get on the mic and say...

"Hey, if you all are wondering why the music stopped you can blame these two girls right here."

The place starts booing at them and then I started up the song I had cued up. The girls walked away in complete shock, probably because they had never been blamed for anything in their lives.

I think it was DJBigBoy who mentioned how great it is when attractive women realize they have no influence over you and they can get thrown under the bus just like the rest of them. Amen to that!

I had a request to play polka music in the middle of a club-oriented college event with 1000+ people. I was like GTFO. At the same event I had a drunk idiot stumble his way toward the stage around midnight screaming that I should let him "guest DJ" because he was a DJ too. I said no and proceeded to ignore him and let security take care of him.

When i got onto sat afts at the rink, had a guy (handicapped) always asked for sandstorm, i usually didn't have a problem playing it. then i started to ask him if i could play something else that i think that he might like. I started playing various other dance and club hits, had him come up and he would ask the title, tell him. Then the following weekend he'd come back and started to counter what i was playing and he was staring to ask for more modern songs, and asking for specific remixes. And every now and then i do a sat aft, and he gets a list together and so do i, we trade up the lists and we do the research and do it all over again. It truly is amazing what he finds, some really odd ball stuff, and some truly good classics along with numerous recent hits as well. It is and will be a good friendship that i look forward to continuing, even when the day comes that i do have to call it quits at the rink.

so you have a collection of polka? I wouldnt have any idea of where to go find some... hard to consider paying $30 for a few cd's of stuff i really will hardly ever use, or enjoy listening to. Wonder how they'd like some mexican music fill of accordions
DjayRage 3:33 PM - 10 January, 2012
There's one called "Beer Barrel Polka" that usually works, I have a couple of other ones that I looked up as being popular and got those also. Usually if someone asks (at weddings and such) I don't mind playing 1-3 polkas, anything more than that and you might get lynched lol..

There was a collection I brought many years ago that I forgot which online record store was selling. It was several MP3 CD's and the collection was called 500 most requested songs or something like that. I was just starting to use CD's/MP3's at the time and to this day I still play a ton of the songs off that list. There's been plenty of times where I'm playing an event and I have no idea what to play next so I'll bring up that list and find a classic gem..

C'mon guys, there's perfectly acceptable Polkas that aren't The Chicken Dance. Yes I've dropped them in bars.

In Heaven There Is No Beer
She's Too Fat For Me (or sometimes Too Fat Polka)
Beer Barrel Polka (or Roll Out The Barrel)

I'm sure the ability to play/requests are more regional, but it can be done, usually with drunk crowds who grew up with grandparents playing it. Think of it more along the lines of dropping Ice Ice Baby, but cheesy in a different way.

My agent taught me this for mobile gigs, hire a roadie. And tell everyone to forward requests to him and that he is the music genius...you only know how to use the equipment. Then tell your roadie to write everything down just to make them happy. You don't completely disregard the requests of course, but you can blame it on the roadie and have a good laugh with him.

She answered
"Anything by Enrique Inglesias, Pitbull, you know something good"
I looked at the dance floor and noticed it was packed....then I listened to what was playing and said
"You know this is a pitbull song right now right? I also played Enrique literally 2 songs ago...."
she said

Chick came up to my table once and was like
"Take no offense, but YOU SUCKKKK WHY AREN'T YOU PLAYING ANYTHING GOOD??"
so I asked
"What do you think is good?"
She answered
"Anything by Enrique Inglesias, Pitbull, you know something good"
I looked at the dance floor and noticed it was packed....then I listened to what was playing and said
"You know this is a pitbull song right now right? I also played Enrique literally 2 songs ago...."
she said
"I'm from new york....and this music sucksssssssss"
Her boyfriend comes over and grabs her and walks away
Made my day because there was a kid sitting in the lounge with me and he was just like
"Wow....what a bitch hahahaha"

hahahahahahaha, yo at my job. First F'in (can't swear on work computer...they got me on lockdown) day I walked into my office and some guy was like, so what are you doing this weekend? I told him I was going down to Boston (in Hartford now) to DJ at a club. Then he was like wtf....you DJ too?

Found out later that day that apparently there's about 5 DJs in my office, there's about 30 people in this room. I think I'm the only one that's not a closet DJ though
DjayRage 4:18 PM - 13 January, 2012
Lmao^ that was my last job. There was a ton of people there (office building with about 2,000 employees). There were so many rappers, DJ's and producers.. But none of them had an album out, owned DJ equipment or owned a studio. Just because I took some pictures doesn't make me a plus sized model!
DJ Garebear 4:24 PM - 13 January, 2012
lol can't stand that especially considering how cheap it is nowadays to actually have a solid setup. Hell to even have an "album" out only requires you to make a soundcloud account and upload the tracks lol

OR... chick comes up and says the dude over there wants me to ask you to play _______



When this happens i usually play just one verse and then transition to another song. So as soon as they go out to start dancing i am already on to the next song.They get all pissed off. Priceless
Ya they usually come up and bitch about it and want me to play it again which i wont but its fun to fuck with them like that.

I agree with her.... David Bowie, well i guess im jaded, and assume that everyone on here plays in a night club. The owners of any club here would shoot me if i played David Bowie.

hummmm...... well that would be a cool mix. I wont hide the fact that im not super knowledgeable on music pre 1995. I spend all my time keeping modern music, not that i hate older music, i personally don't have time to listen to all the older music that has come out. In a night club where modern music is the dominant format I would still agree with her, david bowie comes under the cheese category. Now 3 blocks away at the oldies bar (called Flashbacks) i would not consider it cheese music if it was played there. The idea of cheesy music, i think, is subjective to the venue its being played at.

Of course she runs back saying, "NO, THE NEW ONE"....lol..

And I'm like "I KNOW, I KNOW, I was just playing THAT one because these 2 "older" white chicks requested R&B....

Knowing full well I DIDN'T HAVE THE SLIGHTEST IDEA what song she was talking about -

But did a 2nd search and "Take Care" was recently added so I figured that must be it...

Never played it before in my life....

Heres something that has been amazing for the past 3 weeks. I started at a new residency (well old one, but i left them for a while). Well they have a pretty complicated lighting and visuals rig now. Takes 2 laptops to run it. So the DJ booth is center stage, 1 watt lazer above the dj fireing down on them to light them up, and a bunch of other lights focused on them. Its pretty obvious theres the dj booth. So on show nights, wheres theres some headliner brought in, I run the lighting rig. The lighting (and sound booth) is half way up a stair case like 50 feet from the dj and 15 feet away from the dance floor (great view). For 6 shows now i have had a constant stream of people walking up to me well running the lights trying to make song request. Sometime i fuck with them and take the request, other time i point out the simple fact, "do you see me wearing headphones?", "do you see that guy, who's the center of attention, wearing head phones?", "ya him, go talk to him"

Sounds like you haven't been DJing long--a real homie would look out for the headliner and not point the requester in the right direction, heh.
Code:E 8:58 AM - 17 January, 2012
If by not long you mean 10 years 7 of which (the last 7) include 2 nights a week club residency's, sure not long. Me personally i like requests, they help me to confirm that im reading my crowed correctly. If you been djing for a while and no how to read a crowed im sure you have had someone come up to you to request track which you already have loaded in and are about to play. though usally at that point i change to another track so people dont get the idea that they can request a song and you will play it next.

Some DJ's cant handle taking requests and i might get a sick pleasure from watching them sweat a little.

Though if we are talking a "real" headliner (eg Benny, Avicii, Calvin Harris, Kaskade) and not just some other local guy who is being sponsored by a local promoter, I do tell them they dont take request.

Oh word?? I used to spin all over the place until my car recently got out of commission.

But I'm actually making my move to Boston so I'm progressively DJing there more often now than around here, plus my agent also books me from within Boston as well.

But let me know when your DJing, I'm always down to check out other places.

It's Old School - Baby Powder was a compliment.

It mean that the DJ is spinning so well that they want the floor to be slipperier so the can REALLY throw down to the tunes U are spinning. Sometimes if they have just refinished the dance floor it get "tacky". Baby powder helps (remember Gym class when U were a kid and they just did the Gym floor?)

Did a private party on Saturday. There was maybe 70 peeps. 2 people at the party came up and said there were djs too. So whats the ratio of normal people to djs nowdays? 35 to 1? more or less. Funny party was, the two people were working the party. One was a somewhat cute chick who says she uses serato, ns7 and ableton, but she's never dj'd a gig ever. And the other was a youngish dude who had never even heard of serato,,,,

I just say hi, hand over a business card, and let them work. I also would never approach them during the party. Opening hours (or, for mobile gigs) when they're setting up? Acceptable. During close out? Sure. But don't approach in the middle of the set. That's just disrespectful.

This should be a thread, and also to distinguish bedroom DJs from real ones


That Chick using Ableton, isnt the typical bedroom DJ. she'd get bonus points in my book just for knowing what Ableton is

If I ever approach anyone in the middle of their set, I always say great job then usually hand them a business card. But for the most part, yeah I keep it to before and after hours. I also try to see if guys organize any DJ related events or meetings. The scene is a bit week for those kinds of things in Hartford, but in Boston there's definitely a bunch including Costa's "meetings" and a few moombahton producers getting together at Good Life, etc

Add him on Facebook he usually posts times like once a month where they "meet" at Red Lantern or something. I've never attended one, but its cool to know that guys organize things like that in the area. Odds are it's just a "meet the guys that keep inviting you to random events" sort of thing.

Again like 10 times last night, i was running lights, and people couldnt figure why they couldn't request a song from me. (Im no where near the stage)
I just started being rude, i know its unprofessional. but really people use your heads.
I told this one stuck up bitch, "ya you can request a song to me, but it wont get played" it was great to see the look on her face.

gotta confess i had a breakdown last night, a girl came up talking about how amasing i was and how she could get me gigs in near cities because she lives there, then 10 minutes later she came back saying i need to play west coast ish because shes from there, then east coast cause....you guessed it shes FROM there, plus her boyfriend who came in with a jamacian accent that quickly dissolved durring the course of an hour kept requesting wutang and mobb deep, i even played 1 verse from mobb and he bitched i ddint play the whole song. Finally i said fuck it and switched to EDM JUST to get them to leave, not only did they leave but i got an AMASSING EDM crowd to come in who partied HARD, well half way into my EDM (my fave) a girl walks up and asks when im playing hiphop or something she can dance to......instead of being cute or political i just cut her off at dance and pointed at the door and told her to get the hell out. lol. It was sooo cute she thought i was joking.

Saturday night... Photographer is at the event i was doing, admitted that it was his 2nd event ever, and has only done stills before...

seems like a nice guy, then starts looking at my equiptment with the look that says "i wonder how much that gear costs" and says to me. Seems like you have yourself a pretty easy gig going on there.

I look at him with the "WTF face" and ask what makes him think that.

He says "yeah, its a lot of gear that you have to set up and stuff, but don't you just pick a big list of songs and let them play?"

This happened yesterday, u cant make this up.

A middle school (6th-8th grade) calls me to ask about a dance they want to do on the last day of school. One of the requests she had was that I "dont make the songs sound like they run together"...I said "you mean mix them?"...she said yes. I said I would gladly give 10 seconds of silence between each song..LOL

I assume they had some ass clown train wrecking the shit out of the tracks the last time they had a dj......SMH=P

Oddly, I get the same request once in a while. I'm guessing the same thing... the last DJ messed it all up or something. I just go in and do my thing. Seems to get me some repeat business. :)
willythekidd 8:37 AM - 1 February, 2012
I saw two stories this weekend of perhaps the most ridiculous things I've every heard in long time while working/kicking it. They are so wacky I can't even complain...but I have to share them.

Friday night I was opening at a venue downtown. The place had just opened and there was one group of about 10 people. A dude came up to me and nicely requested dubstep. Being that there was nobody around and the guy was chill about his request, I obliged and played three dubstep tracks and then I played a MC lyte track that has a 2-step feel and mixed out after right away so I could transition out of dubstep. A few girls started to come into the club so I started to play some hip hop and top 40 opening tracks. The dude comes up to me and yells "This isn't dubstep!" I informed him I would play some later as other people were coming in. He threw a tissy fit and then proceded to walk towards his group of friends and then talked to them for a minute. He then then came back directly in front of the dj booth, tried to get my attention, once I looked up he pulled out his iphone, a pair of earbuds, and started dancing to his own music; he gave up after a few minutes, there's no way the house PA didn't drown out his earbuds. Boom, that was the start of my friday night. He looked so stupid I couldn't even be mad.

Saturday night I had just gotten off from a mobile gig and cruised downtown to visit my dj buddies. When in the booth, I typically take requests for fellow djs and relay them; i appreciate it when people do this for me when I'm spinning, so I try to return the favor. It was 12:30, so right at peak hour and this girl comes up to me and says that her friends want "something more dancable and more uptempo." The track in the background was a 130 bpm remix of Hangover and Sexy and I Know it was a few tracks before that. She may have been an idiot but she was nice enough so I began to talk to her and see what the hell was going through her brain. I asked her what specific song she wanted. She just said "you know more dancable and faster." Meanwhile my buddy had transition to We Found Love. I then asked her how much faster the songs should be. Again I got the same answer. I told her we were open to requests as long as she could come up with just one. I think she finally realized how stupid she was sounding as she couldn't think of one song she wanted to hear. I told her to come back with a certain request and we then she left.

I can't even be mad at either person...they were both just completely clueless. And I wasn't even being an asshole either...I was very nice and respectful to both.

Imagine if DJ's TODAY had to seek approval from the audience after EACH song?

Where they HAD to depend on SONG selection, Reading the CROWD, TIMING, and their own personal ability to captivate the crowd after EACH RECORD?

Man, there would be a LOT of hurt feelings if that was to ever come about again...

SO i got a request for "Beach music" the other day. SO naturally i think like jimmy buffet, bob marley, stuff like that. the guy goes no thats not beach music, he wanted to hear like 1950s beach music, which i had never heard of before.

im used to not knowing some songs, but not not knowing genres


Cool - Now I know a new genre! Thanks

Also, the drink on the speaker thing drives me nuts too. Always removing drinks form the top of my subwoofer. Even had to tell the groom at a wedding that my sub was not a beer coaster.

Just got to tell a story kinda related to the club. I wouldnt say me or my gf have a drinking "problem" but we both enjoy the sauce. (come on I'm a dj and she a party girl). and we all make stupid decisions when drinking. I also should not that i do hav ADD and pretty sure i have so sort of OCD (tolet paper roll must go on the dispenser rolling out). Anyway, i think of myself as a considerate human being and like to contribute to society, so last friday night i was feeling kinda sick and didnt drink at the bar, i was just running the lights that nigh too for a show that i wasnt into so i wasnt in a party mood, my GF was out of the town with some lady friends and came to my club for the last hour or so of the night. after the club closed she went outside and bought perogies from the street meat guy, and proceeded to much out on them on the drive home. well on the drive home she wasnt feeling so well and opened the window for some fresh air (never mind the fact that its -5 deg outside), but in her drunken wisdom she decided she didnt want to hold onto her Styrofoam bowl for her perogies anymore. and in true drunken bitch fashion throw the bowl out the window. I being upset at her for doing this though i cant stand for this. I turn the jeep around (she had no clue what was going on) and pulled over near where she threw the bowl out, and made her get out of the car (in he little bar outfit) and pick up not only her litter but all the other littler i could see from the jeep in sight......


I ask her the next morning if she feels bad for what she did, and i had to remind her of what happened. then she laughed called me an asshole then we did what all happy couples do after a fight that wasn't really a fight :) anyway just wanted to share this story cause i would get in shit for posting in on FB where all her friends could read it.

any other stories of punishing drunk people for making stupid mistakes.

Nope. There is no such feature, but a lot of people who do the above are not using equipment and running Virtual DJ straight out of the headphone-out ports of their laptops, hence they can just hop on over to YouTube and play the video.
DjayRage 9:00 PM - 14 March, 2012
Oh okay. I thought it had some kind of feature where if you didn't have a song in your library that you searched for, it would find it from the "cloud" and stream it. I thought that meant Youtube as well.
Code:E 9:34 PM - 14 March, 2012
there is service VDJ offeres where you can stream all of your music a and dj with it. Not sure if it can be done with videos. and not sure on the cost of it. But it can be done.

I know when V7 released it had a feature (can't remember the name of it) that would trawl the internet whenever you searched to try and find the song. Plus it also recommended what other DJs that used it would play after the currently playing track.

I recall that feature. You can even play 30 seconds of the song. But to play the entire song, you need a paid subscription and Virtual DJ Pro 7: something your average just-downloaded-a-copy-of-virtual-dj-home-or-cracked-copy-of-virtual-d

Dude gave me a song to play at a party once. He said he "remixed" it himself using some "new DJ software". It was a demo version of the program that wouldn't allow him to save it as .wav or .mp3 or anything! I just had to laugh when he asked my why my computer wouldn't recognize the file. Joker didn't want to buy the $29.95 software.

If you pay $70, you can play here! But wait, here's 20 tickets! You need to sell these tickets (for no less than $x-amount-of-dollars) to not only get on stage, even though you've already paid, but that's all the money you will make tonight!

That Shit's been going on since the 90's in the band scene.... Some places it was a 100 ticket minimum to play... i hated that shit and would hate to see it make it's way into the dj world, but it's not that far fetched...

Truth. I remember when I was gigging with my band years ago and certain venues would make us sell tickets to people in advance in order to play. I would liken it to trying to sell magazine subscriptions or girl scout cookies.

Always felt lame asking "do you want to come see my band play for $10 dollars".

Really hope this type of business model doesn't make its way into the dj scene.

It's already here. I know of places that tell DJ's they have to bring in a certain amount of people every night and then if they meet their quota they MIGHT get paid. "But come on man it's great exposure"..

That sucks. It annoys me when owners don't realize that the number of people who walk through the door from week to week can be cyclical and depends on a lot of other factors, especially weather. Of course this depends on the area too (ex. people in NY will always be out) but in general it applies.

Most Fridays would be packed, then we'd have one off night and no one would take into account that it was 20 degrees outside and people probably just wanted to stay home.

The owners of two places that I used to work at tried to pull the "how many people can you bring in" thing on me. Then once they realized more people were coming through the door than before and staying put because the DJ wasn't trainwrecking everything they eased up on that.

usually i leave a piece of paper and a pen next to my tip jar dedicated for requests, this way ppl dont feel the need to tap me on the shoulder and hover over me waiting for me to acknowledge their request. but on this particular night, i decided to put a "text me for requests @ (555) 555-5555" scroll on the bottom of my screens with MixEmergency.

i get a text from some kid who claims he was a dj @ coyote ugly in new orleans and that i needed to play a better selection of music (i.e. lil wayne and waka flocka). So the kid proceeds to text me that if he was up on stage, he would know what to play and he couild do a better job of it.

so about 30 mins goes by and a small group of ppl walk by the stage and some kid in a blue shirt waves his phone at me... i immediately told one of the bouncers to grab the kid up and bring him up to the stage. so the kid is on stage with me and i tell him since he's a dj he can spin for 20 mins and see if he can do a better job than me.

the kid walks up to my laptop and the first thing he says is "hey man, how do i pull up itunes?"...facepalm right??? keep reading, it gets better...

so i tell him there is no itunes, if he's a real dj he should know how to use serato, so i walk off stage and this kid is up there all by himself and looking scared as shit, the whole club sees me walk off the stage and is wondering what this skinny kid is doin up there.

so the kid places his hand on the turntable and attempts to scratch by stopping the record and draging it back and forth... at this point, everyone on the dance floor stops and looks up on stage... everyone start booing and yellin get the fuck off stage.

so i run up to the stage, before the kid has a chance to walk off and i grab the mic and announce: " everybody give it up for fisher price's DJ Speak N' Spell". everyone one starts laughin hard as hell, then i told him to get his retarded ass off stage.

he walked over to his little group and they left the club.

i'm all for requests and and making ppl happy when i can, hell, that's one of the things i love about Dj'in. but if you approach me actin stupid, you're gonna get embarrassed in front of the whole damn club.

it's really really bad here in Eastern North Carolina, ppl have no respect for a dj, they think we are some kind of life sized ipod, or jukebox.

I've had it happen to me too, some other "DJ" comes up to me while I'm spinning and either tries to have a full on conversation or tell me what I should and shouldn't play. I don't get it. When I'm out I'll give another DJ props if he's doing a good job but I know better than to invite myself up to the booth and talk his ear off just because we share the same hobby/profession.

Haha, yup this happened to me too. I was out at the place I used to DJ at on Fridays (before I worked there) and this guy was playing music from his iPod over the house system. I approached the manager and said I could do a much better job with real equipment. When I showed up the following Friday with my 1200's he was amazed and baffled at the same time. I believe his exact words were "people still use those things?".
DJ Reflex 3:09 AM - 23 March, 2012
I still use my 1200's for weddings as a mobile DJ. Only the old guys know what they are - the rest just think they are for show. Like I would carry a 60 lb DJ coffin around for show!!! lol

Got a story for ya'll. Actually inspiring.

I was at a club in Germany back in 2001 on military deployment. I went up to the DJ (who was from Florida) to request a song. I did mention that I was a DJ as well... expecting to hear the typical response that this whole thread is based on. Instead, he gives me the headphones, a glass of wine, and pulls a few records up for me as says "I gotta take a break anyway - you spin for a while." Nervous as hell, I pull up "Lady" by Modjo and mix into his house set. After about a half an hour, he returns and takes over again. I thanked him for the opportunity and he said that I did a good job with the crowd that night. Granted it was HIS music selection, but I felt I did fairly well with the mixes and kept the crowd moving. He gave me a few extra pointers (he was good at scratching - I wasn't) and eventually played my request.

I try to give people a shot as this guy did for me, but as this thread so often shows, most of them are posers! I was new to the DJ thing, but at least I knew the equipment and how to mix. The guy who asks for iTunes in a DJ booth has no clue and deserves the embarrassment.

Considering what kids hear these days and how they are with music (the turnover rate is practically 1-3 months), 50 Cent IS old school -_-


i know but i will never understand nor condone it XD

you guys gotta realize you keep getting older, the music gets older, and the crowd gets younger.

50 cents was dropping singles in 99/00 .. thats 12 years ago. First studio album in 2003.. still 9 years.

I know in 2003 if I dropped a 12 year old track.. it'd be considered oldshool/golden era.

That's not the point. We're referring to the ridiculous turn over time in music. Hell, to a lot of these young crowds, if it's more than a month old (And I'm being conservative with that one), it's old music and they don't want to hear it.

Shady, KDAY played a Chris Brown song the other day.
And they are supposed to/used to be an old school rap station.

Well, I got mad beef with KDAY because it sounds like it's just some 22 year olds 2 gig ipod on repeat over there.

Ha! I dubbed 50 Cent "In Da Club" with video footage of Three Stooges slapping each other on the down beat. I played it at a high school the other night (edited version of course) and they loved it! Most of the kids were glued to the screen cracking up at the Three Stooges video. Couldn't tell if they were dancing or laughing. Either way it was a riot.

I hate it when they have their hand out with cash in it and ask for a song i dont want to play...

I remember a chick who came up, handed me $20 and said something i couldnt even understand turned and walked away. I may or may not have been slightly distracted by something else she brought up with her... But then she came back 5 minutes later and said "so when are you going to play that song? " my first thought was to snap back at her and say (the truth) i didnt even hear you say anything... but she was nice enough to give me $20 so I turned the situation around...

I was at a club in Germany back in 2001 on military deployment. I went up to the DJ (who was from Florida) to request a song. I did mention that I was a DJ as well... expecting to hear the typical response that this whole thread is based on. Instead, he gives me the headphones, a glass of wine, and pulls a few records up for me as says "I gotta take a break anyway - you spin for a while." Nervous as hell, I pull up "Lady" by Modjo and mix into his house set. After about a half an hour, he returns and takes over again. I thanked him for the opportunity and he said that I did a good job with the crowd that night. Granted it was HIS music selection, but I felt I did fairly well with the mixes and kept the crowd moving. He gave me a few extra pointers (he was good at scratching - I wasn't) and eventually played my request.

I try to give people a shot as this guy did for me, but as this thread so often shows, most of them are posers! I was new to the DJ thing, but at least I knew the equipment and how to mix. The guy who asks for iTunes in a DJ booth has no clue and deserves the embarrassment.

i was djing an event last saturday for a carribean crowd. a woman came up to me and asked, "are you streaming music from the internet?" I had the WTF look on my face but told her that I've bought the music and downloaded it to my computer from dj pool. I was using serato with 2 turntables that night
skinnyguy 10:06 PM - 31 March, 2012
me and my friend had something similar...they thought we were streaming videos from youtube. on different nights. different people.

blew their minds that we had the actual video.

still kinda amusing when they ask me, "so how do you sync up the music with the video on the screen?"

Hey , at least these stories are testament that not everyone is clued in on the secret live (aka - skills) of a DJ. With all these knuckle-heads out there thinking that all we do is push play on youtube videos, it makes me smile knowing that I actually AM providing entertainment that is way beyond that. That's what they pay us for... right?!? Even so-called "DJs" not knowing about Serato is kinda cool in a way. We are still using cutting edge technology to push our DJ sets even further than before.

BTW - There is an interview with DJ Tiesto in the lasted Guitar Center mailer. He does not use Serato or Traktor - only CD players. "I feel that using DJ software on a laptop can make you lazy because you don't have to do much of anything anymore. You just push the play button and it's all good." Not hatin' on Tiesto - he's earned his props, but does he even know...?

Have you watched tiesto play? he's no lazy ass just mixing 1 track into another. Always has 4 cdj 2000's and a DJM900. I dont hate on DJ who prefer to not use a computer, with how advanced CDJ2k and the new pioneer mixers and RMX controller are there is a lot of things they can do thats far beyond just mixing track to track.

If you ever get the chance watch Roger Sanchez live, he does some amazing thing building tracks live out of loops well playing on 4 decks and no computer, its a joy to watch.

Saw a video of David Guetta DJ'n. He had 4 CDJ 2000's too... but none of them were turned on, or connected... no idea how the meter on the mixer was doing anything... think it was an 800... with only a power cord

I've seen Laidback Luke do a very similar thing as well. DJ's like that make me want to step my game up. They are pretty much creating tracks almost from scratch live.

I don't pay him much attention, but I imagine Tiesto has four CDJ2000s on his ryder is because it looks more impressive. He's never been know to get busy like Carl Cox for instance.

Most djs with 4 cdjs on there rider do it for 1 reason. 2 decks are needed to play on, 3rd deck is for samples, acapellas, one shots, ect.... 4 deck is backup incase one dies.... I have seen a lot of A list DJ's riders and asked them about it, most give something close to that answer as to why.

HYDRO MATIC 9:52 PM - 2 April, 2012
So it was one of those nights...I swapped nights with another DJ to pick up a differnet gig.

This group of four comes in and is requesting stuff that makes no since ALL night!

1st time The oldest one asks for something that isnt in 4/4...I give her the gas face and she tries to time it out while smelling like a box of smoke a bottle of Jack... I explain I know what she means but shes in a dance night club and 99% of what shell here on this side of the building is going to be that way... bu she can go next door...
She keeps coming back to explain she likes the vibe here but the music sucks...(the entire floor was filled)...old lady goes back to dancing and tries to keep eye contact while counting 1,2,3,4 on every song that is dropped.

2nd Same group but this time the younger chick...ask for CUPID SHUFFLE...I tell her I hadnt planned on playing it but ill see if I can get to it. Normally if I get a bunch of requests for it ill Let it fly this spot loves line dances and the staff Knows if they here it I need a drink and restroom break so it works out...So after every song she comes up and asks will I play it next and that everyone will dance...(again floor is filled)...She then asks or some uptempo stuff ...I give her the "hold on finger" she keeps tapping me as I drop some 130 BPM track...she asks for more uptemp I told her "cool just relax I got you, but if you ask me for Cupid Shuffle again I will not play it period!" She looks shock goes off and dances with her group again.

3rd and Final the lone Male from the group comes up and Im already on guard...he leans in and goes man can you...
HIM: "please drop any petey pablo even if its only the helicopter song?"
Me: shocked "you mean raise up? sure no problem, just give me a few to work it in"
Him starting to walk away: "thanks man that would be awesome"
So at this point Im feeling like an ass for stereotyping this guy with his group and im trying to find a good way to get to his request...when he starts trying to get my attention from the other side of VIP (booth is in VIP)...he makes the "cut throat sign while pointing to his ear"
So I call him over and he replies:
HIM: "yeah man please drop that if you can cause your good and all but this music sucks"...
ME: put on the headphones on mute, turned up the booth monitor to painfully loud levels...after he looked upset and started to ask why I was being a "DICK"
I told him " You and your nagging ass group have been requesting over and over all night...just chill out theyve been up here 10 times already now this music sucks? Look at the crowd they like it...tell your freinds to learn to dance before they make a request ever again"

He starts cursing and walking away...I cut the music and yelled out..."and you wont be getting any Petey Pablo either...I dont gotta do shit!"

He was so fire mad! lol
Security came and asked if it was another dumbass...we laughed took a shot and continued on....

In the city I play at and citys near by. There are country bars and then theres everything else... NO ONE dares play country at at normal bar. So this chick came up to me in the middle of an Hip-electro set (128bpm hiphop and electro tracks) and asks for country, I gave her the dear in headlights look. I was kinda drunk and didnt really feel like letting down easy. So I did the Sheldon cooper laugh (big band theory) and said no.... She was like what do you mean NO.... I explain to her that no DJ in this city would be caught dead play country music well not at the country bar. It just wont happen. Then she gets all pissy, yells at me tells me i can do whatever i want, I want to NOT play country music. I tell her to look around and really to think if anyone will like it. I put my headphones on and go back to mixing. She stands in my booth for a couple more songs and keeps trying to ask me for country everytime i take my phones off. After telling her no like 10 times she finally gets it and leaves the booth.

I almost tell every single person, ya i can play that song when they request shit, just so i dont have to listen to them wine when i say no.... But country music is just a straight up NO. Very few people actually come up and ask for something twice.

Also I make it a point when people ask for hit peek hour tracks to tell them yes i will play it, but not till after 12:30 (bar is open till 2), and if they really want to hear it to come and remind me after that time....

what you failed to realize is that he isn't a DJ, he's a producer so therefore he knows nothing about respect to other DJs.

I was doing an Army fund-raiser and this one hill billy was constantly coming to my partner all night requesting country or rock n roll while everyone was enjoying top 40 and hip hop. I never liked country or rock n roll so therefore I didn't even have any in my set. He comes back and forth asking for Irish music this time.... I told my partner to just ignore his requests... 12 am hit and I'm dropping the bangers and everyone is jumping around and enjoying it... THAT HILL BILLY HAD THE NERVE TO COME TO MY PARTNER AGAIN AND SAY TO GET RID OF THIS SHIT IM PLAYING BECAUSE HES NOT ENJOYING IT...TOLD HIM TO FUCK OFF

I DJ weddings primarily, but I am not a country DJ. I have a few hits and classics, but that's it. I will rarely play a country tune on my own unless it's requested. Anyway, I got this groomsman requesting all kinds of b-list country songs. I explain to him that the bride hired me because I am high-energy and dance orientated, not a country DJ. He gets all pissed and demands that I play some Dierks Bentley song. Dude keeps coming back with more country requests...
After the wedding, I see all the cars in the parking lot of the bride and her friends. Mostly sports cars and a few SUV's. There is only one beat up old pickup truck with a confederate flag and the number 8 pasted in the window... It's our good ol' boy groomsman. Only country one in the gang I guess. Hee-Haw

I met with a bride earlier this week. I know she'll like some country songs... but her dad came in (met at her house) and started to list a ton of old country... I kept thinking ummmmm fml... and then after a list of 8 or so he said Jonny Cash... at least i recognized one of them... This is after we had signed a contract a few months back... so i'm like ummmm you didnt say anything about this stuff when we first talked...

I would let them know that country is not a forum of music you are knowledgeable with and if they want you to play it they need to supply the tracks. and Not just a list of them. they need to download them burn them or put them on a thumb drive for you... I would be very upset as the DJ if they changed what they expected after contracts are signed.

The funniest thing ever happened last night while I was mixing with my homie at his wed's night gig... It's an urban spot, all hip hop mind you.

This old man with funny atire and a dew rag requests Kid Rock on his way to the bathroom. On his way out he stops again and I'm expecting to get a mouthful about how terrible the music is. Instead he says, "You know what, this music makes me walk funny (hillbilly twang accent)" then proceded to strut like a wannabe wigger-G-grand-daddy-pimp across the dancefloor.

I laughed about that for a good 5 minutes.

its funny seeing these old ppl coming to the club...especially the newly divorced cougars.

lol, they're in their mid to late 40's tryin to dress like they are 19... and stick out like a sore thumb...

the worst part is when they come up to request a song (which is something usually pretty old) that was hot the last time they were out clubbing (about 20 yrs ago)

Some memorable quotes:

Just got to the club, one of the bartenders was playing random old-school house, he got out of the booth when he saw me. I start playing Beatport top 100 stuff to get the place moving a little. Some random rich looking guy around my age comes up (I'm 21 fyi) and says:
"Do you have anything by Tiesto?"
"No, I don't think so, I don't play Trance"
"What the hell man? Tiesto is the best DJ in the world, you should know that since you are a DJ"
I just gave him this look:
static.fjcdn.com

Playing at a college-party. The host told me what to play in the beginning only and just go with the flow (requests included) later.
Two hot asian chicks come up to me while I'm playing some Fidget.
"Can you play some dance-music?"
"This is dance-music, it's called house"
"But we mean House like in Pitbull"
I put on the damn Pitbull song they asked for AFTER downloading it (which I shouldn't have done)
They dance for 20 seconds and then leave.

Party at a friend's house:
Playing weird House-music, when a very fat girl comes up, leans over my screen while showing 90% of her tits, and says:
"What the fuck are you doing? Is this Spotify?"
"No, I'm DJ:ing"
"Stop it, this sucks, I want something to dance to"
"Give me an example then"
"You know, like good music (she names some crappy Swedish hiphop/eurodance song)"

had 2 encounters this weekend....
Friday Night:
Girl: ($5 in her hand) Hey i wanna hear some Fuddrucker...
Me: Sorry never heard of it or them. wanna hear anything else?
girl: c'mon! dont be like that you played it before
me: umm no i havent sorry (i looked in my library anyways) asked her how she spelled it. Still didnt find it. and tell her i dont have it.
girl: gives me the stink face and says that i play it when she requests it and then proceedes to tell me that i was the worst dj and that i suck and blah blah blah
me: i politely tell her thank you and put my headphones back on
(girl is still standing there bitching to her friend that i wouldnt play it)
Me: look i dont have it!!
girl: whats your problem! its my cousins group and he lives in the area........ ok well play this (forgot the track title) its by them too.
as soon as i look for that in my library i remember the artist. she kept requesting Fuddrucker and the group was called Street Kreditors. totally different names
Me:is this the one you were asking for before!?!? (pointing to my library)
Her: gets happy and starts jumping around. Yes thats it! Play it! play it! heres $5
Me: FUUUUUUCK NOOOOOOOOOOO! you just called me the worst dj. Give me a reason why i should play your request!! keep your $5 and GTFO!!
Her; (priceless look on her face)

the artist she requested was a local rap "artist" that was her cousin and she expected me to have all his tracks in my library.
DjayRage 6:35 PM - 9 April, 2012
That reminds me of a night several years ago..
I'm mixing at this club, over 1,000 people there having a blast.
Some dude comes up to me, hands me his CD and shakes my hand. I had my headphones on the whole time and didn't even hear anything he says. Usually the lighting guy or bouncer stops anyone from going in the DJ booth or near the DJ but they had both taken a smoke break. I take the CD and just put it away.
About an hour later (at around peak time 12:30 or so) same dude comes up to the DJ booth with a bunch of other goon looking mofos. Lighting guy lets him in because CD guy told him he knew me or something..
CD guy; Which microphones are we using?
Me: What?
CD guy: Yeah we are ready to perform now, you got the track on the CD ready right?
Me: hell no, I will listen to the CD when I get a chance at home or in the car, not while I'm already working.
CD guy: Whhhhhhhhhhhhhat?
Me: do I go to your job at Burger King and expect you to make me a Big Mac right then and there??

Needless to say bouncers had to kick them out of the DJ booth..
Frankie Glasses 6:55 PM - 9 April, 2012
heres the other one
Saturday night:
Playing top 40 music for the past 45 min. a few girls dancing. (still early in the night)

older douchebag guy: hey dude do you have any tool?
me: i have a couple of tracks (should have said no)
odg: i wanna hear some now
(i may have played it within the next few songs, but the demanding request that i stop the current song to play his song that didnt fit was not acceptable )
me: sorry thats not going to really work right now. maybe in a liitle bit (still trying to build up the dancefloor)
10 minutes later
odb: dude c'mon play some tool! play it now!
me: not now
i see the guy leave about 15 min later. thinking to myself ok cool
about an hour later he comes back in and walks up to me.
odg: fuck man!! i wanna hear some tool!
me: you left!
odg: well im back now so you need to play it!!
me: so you left and then came back later to hear your song? sorry its too late in the night. look at the people on the dance floor!
odg: I wanna hear tool! (walks off pissed)
a little later the bartender comes up to me and says this idiot wants you to play tool and he is yelling at me! he wants to talk to the manager too. i say ok ill play his shit in 10 minutes so make sure you tell him that.
play a few tracks then i lower the music and announce drink specials. i put on tool at half volume and get some WTF looks. so i start doing shout outs and birthday wishes over the tool song. played about half of the track do a power down on the tuntable and go back to what i was playing before. I look at the old douchebag guy and he just walks out.

DJ JT Stevens 7:39 PM - 9 April, 2012
Haha, good stories Frankie. You probably got that guy's hopes up and then crushed them just as quickly. What Tool song did you end up playing by the way? I'm curious.

Reminds me of a similar story...

I'm playing at my old Saturday night spot. Place is packed with about 300 people. It's around peak hour and I'm doing a standard top-40/house set.

This lone wolf type comes up to request something:

Guy: Hey man do you have any Metallica?
Me: I do.
Guy: Can you play Unforgiven next?
Me: Sorry man, not next. Maybe a little later once it dies down.
Guy: Alright cool, thanks.

Not only does he want me to play Metallica during peak hour, he wants one of their slowest and most depressing songs. Hell no.

I see him go to the bar, get a shot of something, down it, and then get a drink. After another 15 minutes or so he comes back up.

Guy: So you going to play my Metallica or what?
Me: It's not the time for that right now, it'll clear my dance floor. I'll play it before last call.
Guy: I'm going to stay here until you play it.
Me: Okay. I'll get it on if I can.

At this point I have no intention of playing the song and I'm just trying to placate the guy and get him off my back. I can tell he's getting a little annoyed too so I point him out to the bouncer just in case he decides to be a nuisance.

Around 1AM he approaches me again, asking not nearly as politely this time. The floor is still jamming.

Guy: Why don't you turn this s^!* off and play my song?
Me: Sorry, it's not going to happen. Why don't you come back next Saturday around 10PM when no one's here yet and I'll play it for you.
Guy: F@#% you. You're an ass. I'm never coming back to this dump.

As he's walking out he's mean mugging me the entire time, mouthing "F you" to me over and over again, then he flips me off before he walks out the door.

Pretty sure he stayed true to his word and never came back.

1. The owners.
-"we want to cut all hiphop. we had a stabbing 2 months ago we switched to country" (which around here is I dont wanna be racist, but i am, slang for scare away anyone who isnt white)
New dress code, few more bouncers ect ect
2. The Management, Bouncer.
-we let in everyone, its a thursday... we have to or we wont fill up,
-The owners arent here... so play all that shit...
(so no dress code enforcement... or support on the format)
3. The old crowd.
lots of good natured city folk, who yes wanna hear some obscure reggae and meek millz,m rick ross, wocka flocka and of course JayZ (obscure JayZ, not Jiggy radio Jayz)
4. The new crowd.
young, scantily clad white girls and post college professionals wanting Avicii and Deadmau
even some dubstep.

put them all in the room at the same time... lets say, 100am
its a recipe for hanging yourself with your mic cord.

you have to rationalize to each 3 groups, when your not playing THEIR music.
I will say the hiphop Girls have the shortest tempers....they lost their damn minds
when I told them:
"I cant play reggaeton, Im hear becuase the guy before me did, and got fired on the spot"

"I dont give a f*** play that shit, this is fucking wack, wahh wahh wahh....

I DJed this one place that had a VERY strict policy on the music to be played (e.g. Absolutely no Hip-Hop/R&B/Reggae/House/Latin/etc.) This limited me to basically Radio Friendly Top-40, Rock, and Party Classics.

While playing In the Dark by Dev, some girl came up to me:

Girl: What is this? It sucks!
Me: It's actually a pretty popular song.
Girl: Well, that's why the place is empty.
Me: No, it's empty because it's early in the night. I'm still getting paid.
Girl: Well, if you get paid for doing this...that makes you a loser.
Me: Well saying that makes you a bitch and you can f*cking leave.

I felt bad afterwards, but that was done to send a message. She did end up leaving right after that and I got on the mic to say "Thanks for leaving" I knew if she had an attitude like that, it would have gotten worse throughout the night.

Other ridiculous comments:
Some guy: "Play something with bass in it"
Another guy: "Can I freestyle over this with the mic?"
Some really drunk girl: "I was in the bathroom on the toilet when you played the Cupid Shuffle, can you play it again?

I run into the problem of 1 kid ruining everyone's fun at school dances all the time. "No flashing lights - Little Jimmy might have a seizure." or "Could you not use the fog - Sally has asthma." I just ask them who they paid (good money) to have me entertain, Jimmy and Sally or 400 other screaming kinds who want flashing lights and fog? "I'll let you know when I'm going to use strobe lights and fog and you can escort Jimmy and Sally out of the gym for a couple minutes."

Do these people know what they get when they hire a DJ? I've heard chaperones ask me to turn it down so they can hear themselves talking in the corner. Or my favorite... The janitors getting on my case for launching off the confetti. They whine about having to clean it up afterward. I'm not here to entertain parents chaperones, teachers, the principal, or the janitors. School dances are all about the kids.

I edit swears, sexually explicit music, and any alcohol/drug references, so for Pete's sake, let the kids have fun and let loose.
Papa Midnight 2:57 AM - 8 May, 2012
My last school gig, before I even pulled out the lights, I asked "are there any kids here with epilepsy or who are photosensitive?". They told me no. I asked before hand to make sure I covered my ass.

makes me think of the reverse times when people come up and want to talk to me with head phones on...

I remember at toward the begining of an event. a chick came up to me to complain about it being too loud... <insert me rolling my eyes from being annoyed> I volunteered to change the sound to make it so that the main speakers wouldnt hurt her ears as much. she walked about 10 feet away and i turned the subs on... lol

had a drink on my table, you could see little ripples on the top... when the subs hit i thought the drink was going to jump out of the glass =)

She turned around and i smiled and waved...

When i used to mobile dj i used to spend the week leading up to the gig building play lists,getting all the latest chart stuff so theres a lil summin for everyone,setting cue points in serato and building a crate i can work through on the night and generally trying to do best for the person who hired me!!
When i get there,set up,get my spin on cutting and mixing through different genres you ALWAYS get the "one" who came up and asked for timberlake,gaga,rhianna......So i would play the tracks they asked and it would mess up the general flow of things!! Then they want me to play the track AGAIN?!!! I remember one night i must have played the same gaga tune 6 times!! ANY MOBILE OR CLUB DJ THESE DAYS EARNS THE CASH THEY GET!!!!
I gave up mobile djing 3 years ago nd now just do it for favours for friends and family!!

SL4eva - hear that too!

This Friday I have a gig for the local Special Olympics. Did their social event last fall as well. I tell you, no better crowd! Keep the volume at a reasonable level, no strobes here (just a few up lights set to color scroll), and play what they want to hear. You'll never find a more fun crowd who is not afraid to have a good time!
I don't do many charity functions, but this one is worth the effort.

Weddings and school gigs get hectic, but hey - I charge them for it.

here's a wedding story with a nice quote in it -

i'm doing a relatively classy wedding at one of the top rated catering halls in this area. i would have to guess i've got somewhere between 250-300 guests, which is fairly large for our area.

the father of the bride comes up and requests a doo wop song. sure, no problem. pop it on. everybody's happy.

10 minutes later, he asks for another. again, no problem.

so now we're done with some formalities and i get everybody up to dance. a little bit of disco and funk is what's happening. he SPRINTS over to the dj booth and asks me:

"what the fuck happened to the doo wop????"
"huh? i played both of your songs... i can play a few more later on if you'd like"
"fuck that. right now. i want doowop all night"
"but your daughter and her spouse have requests they want to hear, and i have 300 people that want to dance"
"fuck them, i'm paying for this shit. doowop. no more requests."
"uhh, alright sir"

as soon as i said sir he screamed at me - he thought i said 'son' and freaked out. took a swing at me and shit. my MC grabbed him and calmed him down. pretty fucked up right? so i decieded to ruin that wedding. 4 hours of fucking doowop. i played 16 candles at a wedding.

people were coming up asking for dance music and i told them i wasnt allowed. the bride and groom were so mortified they didnt even come up to us.
pdidy 8:02 PM - 9 May, 2012
I have a clause in my contract that states no request may be made by anyone during the event. All required music or requests must be submitted 7 days prior to said event. So when people ask for requests I have no issue with saying no in hundreds of polite ways......lol.
At times I will also build a mix using all of my clients favorite tracks an dedicate the special mix to them, yea they eat that shit up an feel special. So now the clients happy an I'm happy. All BS averted......

Sometimes I think people over exaggerate or over worry. My godson has seizures and he has been my roadie since he was about 13 (he is 18 now). At first I was worried he might have won as well, but thankfully he has not. I have been teaching him the ropes and he loves it. I kind of feel bad for him sometimes because his school would not let him play sports because of his seizures (although with his meds he has not had one in over a year). He was on the football and track team before he had his first seizure.

Wow, so what brings them on? If they are completely random, that could be really dangerous if he was playing football, running full speed and had one.

Yeah it's random, but that was before he started taking his meds. With his meds he hasn't had one in over a year, probably close to two years now.
skinnyguy 7:21 PM - 10 May, 2012

Ingo B 9:09 PM - 10 May, 2012
Everything can be dangerous in some form or another. If they seize in an effect-heavy environment, they shouldn't be there. I believe in reasonable accommodation, but to kill the lights/bass for one person makes no sense. I have a pretty severe peanut allergy, but would never tell an entire restaurant to strike all forms from the menu. I just wouldn't eat it. Or not patronize that establishment.

DJ Reflex 2:55 AM - 11 May, 2012
I'm actually a middle school teacher. While it is my job in the classroom to make sure that all the kids get the education that they deserve, I do feel that at a certain age kids need to learn to advocate for themselves. This goes for academics as well as other life skills. All too often kids learn to be helpless (parents, teachers, counselors, media, etc) and rely on the support of others rather than take on any sort of personal responsibility. We can't just throw kids out into the world unprepared, but we also can't cushion every mistake or be an eternal safety net for their failures.
As far as the school dance vs. medical issues - this is NOT an academic area of school and does not fall under the same guidelines. This is one spot where parents and ESPECIALLY the individual kid needs to take action to protect themselves. It's unhealthy to teach a child that his/her impairment should hamper the freedoms and enjoyments of all others around them. There are ways to overcome just about every handicap. That is what we ought be teaching children!

I DJ'd a wedding tonight and the father of the bride comes up and asks for some fast music that he can line dance to - "You know... country!" I'm not a country DJ, but I figured I can find a song or two that he can step to. The next song I play is a faster country song and a bunch of people come out to dance. Not a line dancing song, but fast country none-the-less. The dad comes up and tells me to turn this crap off - now he wants a slow Frank Sinatra song... now!

I worked at a grocery store back in the day. I always remember this lady came in and asked if I could "guarantee" there was no peanuts in the bulk mixed nuts. I said no, you can read the ingredients, but there is no way I can guarantee that not one peanut fell into the mixed nuts bin, They come from the same company, and the bins are sitting here right next to each other when I fill them. I dont remember one falling in - but no, I can not guarantee it for you. maybe you shouldnt eat deez nuttz - she was pissed.

HaHaHa....
That's so awesome I had to quote.

Papa Midnight 9:44 PM - 13 June, 2012
To be clear, none of this is about race or being discriminatory, I just want to be clear on the situation.

Just his past Saturday night... Mobile DJing a Birthday party. Pretty much all black audience (relatively young. Maybe mid-20's). This is a private party in Baltimore City. The general genre of the night is Hip Hop (playlist available for those who are curious).

The building they'd chosen was a venue with 2 large rooms. 1 side was a bar, and the other side was a hall (roughly medium sized). The event I was DJing was in the hall. On the other side in the bar was a few older white people (ranging from maybe 35-60).

Now as mentioned, this is a private party. Short of any venue based administrative task, no one from either side should be venturing to the other. Yet, as the party was in the last hour, one of the girls from the bar side comes over. Had to be mid-30's. She was visibly drunk as hell.

You've all had THAT person at a club, bar, party, etc. - She was THAT person (Watchwww.youtube.com)... and she wasn't even a client. Hell, she wasn't even one of the venue owners. She was there at the bar with her boyfriend who comes over to find her and she starts dancing with him. Then when he's done, he goes back so she's coming up in front of my decks acting like an idiot. Then she comes behind the decks (NONONONONONO) and starts pulling on my arm and screaming "dance with me!" (alcohol on the breath too) while I'm in the middle of pulling off a live 128 to 84 BPM transition.

She finally leaves me alone and goes out onto the floor to try to dance with the others there. Even does an exaggerated hip shake which is honestly funny as hell. One of the birthday girl's guest comes over and literally pushes her off the dance floor and the entire dance floor stops and breaks out in laughter. This doesn't stop her though.

Skipping some more ridiculous antics including her coming up multiple times and screaming "PLAY SOMETHING A WHITE GIRL CAN DANCE TO!!!!!!!!!!!!!" (/facepalm)... it's cake cutting time. I've already got specific instructions for the birthday cutting song AND a song after that. In my face comes the SAME woman who starts shouting over Stevie Wonder to "PLAY SOME BEASTIE BOYS!". Now, I like the Beastie Boys. Hell, I have License to Ill on LP (Don't judge me, lol). I'm saying "Can't do it". I even try to be rational by explaining why I can't do it. She's like "BUT HE DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!" (though she couldn't tell me who "he" was (Adam Yauch). I said, "I like Beastie Boys. But, if I play Beastie Boys, I'm not getting paid." "BUT HE DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEED"... At this point, I'm getting annoyed, but party is almost over, so whatever... I drop the girls final request which was supposed to be for a soul train walk (and was pre-planned. This woman walks into the middle of it and starts "Dancing" right there. Her boyfriend comes in, picks her up by the waist, and carries her out.

Omfg so annoying the last party I did I saw him and I totally ignored him. he was standing by my side I didn't look so he felt stupid and walked away with his. Note pad and CDs !!!! People are going to think he's part of my service lol

Its always blown my mind how dense people are, especially after some drinks.

I can set my watch by how often I get someone at 1:55am
the lights are up, my computers in my bag, vinyl is gone, my mixer id in my case....

and im literally packing up my bag, putting on my coat...

ONE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE, COME ON MAN.... ONE MORE!!!!!
I look at the gear, and say something like... "all packed up, go find the after party"

but 1 out of 2 of them will continue on... COME ON... ONE MORE....
AND some get legit PISSSSSSSSSED, so much so I have to have them removed.

lights are on, theres 20 people left out of the 500 that just left... yet, you want one more.
there should be times when tazing people for stupidity isnt just legal, but encouraged.

the one annoying thing i still get to this day:

as soon as i transtion into the 125-130 bpm, i have some assclown come to me and ask for something in the 65-70 bpm range. then have the nerve to walk away with an attitude when i tell them no, because i just sped the beat up, it's gonna be a little bit before i slow it down again.

dat ish crayyy mane!!!

This happens to me all the time too, it drives me batty.

I just chalk it up to the fact that your typical club patron knows nothing about programming, setting the vibe, build ups and come downs, etc. Still drives me batty though.

the mic would still be on if it's a house mic. And you're nice at first. You're like "Naw I can't play anymore. It's 2:10AM. I'm trying to get to Ihop. Where the after party at?" turns into monotone with your hand covering the mic "GO. THE FUCK. HOME!!!!.....*drunk person yelling gibberish and you suck from the middle of the floor* I DON'T GIVE A FUCK. TAKE YOUR BITCH ASS HOME TO YOUR FAT WIFE!!! *drunk person still yelling saying I ain't even married so fuck you* GET MARRIED AND GO HOME... THERE'S A CHICK IN THE PARKING LOT WHO CAN'T FIND HER KEYS. GO MARRY HER" I literally had that convo before.

Any other DJs like that? I know I would rather be behind the decks than out on the dance floor... Maybe it's cuz I can't dance! :)

Anyway, I actually have a good story - I DJed a wedding out on a farm two weeks ago. It was supposed to end at midnight (after a long, hot day of ceremony set-up and moving equipment around). Midnight came, last song was being played, and some chick asks me to stay for another hour. I told her I charge $100/hour overcharge. Before the song was done, she had cash in hand and the bride was across the room nodding at me to stay. Heck, extra hundred added to the night wasn't bad. They partied like rock stars the whole time too!

Great way to get into huge events without having to schmooze or pay. Plus, the ones I do attend as a guest drive me nuts - I'm hyper-critical of the DJ. When my baby daughter finally gets married, hopefully old age will have mellowed me out. Otherwise, their DJ is gonna be in for a rough gig.

Hey! Maybe he'll be complaining about me on this very thread. Stay tuned in about 25-30 years!

I guess I gotta be different.

If the atmosphere and music is good, I would be there whether or not I was behind the decks. I am an explosive extrovert and love interacting with the crowd, whether I am behind the decks or not. I am not the world's most skilled dancer, but I have a few good moves.

I take this with me into the booth--I'm constantly moving and interacting with the crowd. And I feel having this perspective improves my ability to read the crowd. When all else fails I can imagine what I would feel if I were in the crowd myself and play accordingly.

Part of it also is that I lost about 15 years of my adult life to serious, chronic illness, so I'm finally doing now what I should've been doing in my mid-20s. ;)

When I told her no she then asked me to play "I made it" by Kevin Rudolf ft. Birdman. WTF?

i had a dude ask to sing one time while i was playing some salsa music... i was very reluctant... but i said what the hell... the dude seriously was good as hell and everybody applauded him when he was done...

i think i got lucky with that one though... i dont think im ever gonna take that kinda chance again, cuz the next one is surely gonna sound like one of those american idol audition rejects

i've gotten that before, but more often it's the dude coming up who wants to rap. i said yes one time and one time only. it was a slow night so i said fuck it, why not.... Dude was actually on point, so i lucked out too.


I get this once or twice too. Some dude wants to sing a song in the middle of a gig (mostly weddings). One guy brought his own instrumental version of the song and... nailed it! Again, he was good.

Had one lady a couple years ago sounded like a dying alley cat. She was awful! I had to cut the song about 45 sec into it. She looked at me like she was pissed, but the crowd looked at me with appreciation.

I was playing a raggae set and this dude came up begging to hype up the set. I was like I don't need a fucking hype man. I've been doing it all night. Plus the club owner was very strict. I told him he couldn't because of the club owner. He says he know the club owner so I said well go ask her and see what she says. He did and she came back with him and had him do a tryout in front of me, the other dj and her and we all felt he was good. This is going on while music is playing. So we let him grab the mic and I don't know what he was saying... but he said one thing and women started stripping and from that point forward, when i did raggae sets in that club, I always had him on the mic.ish I knew his name and could have him do gigs with me.

Always get this one guy who comes in the strip club and wants to hear "Ace of Spades" by Motorhead (old 70's rock music). I play all formats (rock, top 40, hip hop, whatever) there normally. Not too much 70s unless there's an older crowd.

I seen him sitting near the stage, he always tips the girls really good when his song is on, so I cued up the song. About 15 seconds later, he comes up, hands me $2 and asks for Ace of Spades. I smile, take the $2, and say, no problem...

A lot of people don't know the name of songs and will identify them by the verse or the chorus. I remember when the single came out for Jay-Z and Alicia Keyes - Empire State of Mind and I had nothing but request for "that NEW YORK". You know how many songs have that as the verse, chorus, or title? LOL. For all I know, they're asking for Ace Frehley.

What I seem to get often, mainly from 30-40 year old women from "Urban crowds" (hehe) is that some of them hate hearing 90's music or anything that is "old" to them early in the night.

A few weeks ago, I was at a Karaoke bar, and had only played 5-6 songs. I played some tracks like Selfish, Musiq Just friends, and was currently playing Keyshia Cole "Let it go" when one 35 yr old walked up and said "you know, you takin it waaaaaaaay waaaay back, I mean I'm old but you playin OLD stuff! Can you at least bring it up to like.....2009?" I guess a song from 2007 was too old for her, huh?

I always hear them mention years too...men RARELY do this. In 08, my boy was on, playing De La "Buddy" and one lady came and said "can you tell him to play some songs from 2008?" A few months before that, it was early and I was playing 90's, and a lady told my homeboy (who was an ass for telling me), "when is he gonna play something good? The 90's have been over for eight years!!"

You make a request, you need to be specific. Even when you know the specific name, you better say who the song is by. Especially in rap, a lot of songs end up having the same name.

I think the older ladies like to prove they are still hip and with it. So while you are warming it up, a lot of them are going home early. I made a fool out of one of them once. She says (40ish attractive) "When are you gonna play something good, like Goodies". I say "Later". She mean mugs. "I can play this song (Goodies, when it was new n hot) and no one else is gonna dance, and everyone is going to stare at you. " She says "Why?". I said "Because it's 9:30 and people are still arriving and enjoying their drink. You've been here for 2 hours and wrapping it up." Sure enough, i put the song on, she and her female friend danced, about 100 people stared and kinda laughed. She was pissed. But they left. But the story sticks.

Yea I've ALWAYS felt it's a thing about them trying to feel young, and older songs probably remind them of how old they are.

But my main problem is JUST as you said...they don't even know new songs! If I play the "hot" songs they only know the few that are on radio. So they really are asking for the same commercial songs from the past few years.

When I brought this up with some 35+ women on my alumni board, one said "we don't want to hear any 90's music...I don't want to hear Candy rain or anything like that at the club. I wanna hear new music like Keyshia Cole and Ne-Yo" and I'm thinking...even the 18-25 year olds would MUCH RATHER hear Candy rain than ANYTHING from Keyshia or Ne-Yo aside from when "Let it go" first dropped...barely and new R&B songs are even club hits anymore, especially if there's no Rap feature on it.
Laz219 12:03 AM - 12 July, 2012
All the previous posts about people reminded me of one...

Pretty sure it was a 30th birthday I was doing. A guy called the venue to "make sure the DJ has the karaoke version of dancing in the dark"
I hunted for a little and ended up getting the studio instrumental for it.

On the day the guy comes up to me and introduces himself, tell him I've got the instrumental and he wanted to have a quick listen to it.
After a minute of trying to sing along with it, he takes my headphones off and tells me it's not the right one.

I loaded up the original version and instrumental and started playing them together, flipping back and forth between the channels so he could see they were 100% the same (except of course no vocals)
He ended up asking to do it with the vocals slightly lowered in the original, and then refusing t6o do it altogether.

Seems like if you've gone to the trouble of making the call to get a track especially, you should at least be able to sing it without the vocals guiding you.

I haven't seen a karaoke night for years,but he reminded me of all the people that sing the chorus proudly, then do the awkward stare at the screen basically just reading the lyrics out like they never knew what they were even though "it's my favourite song!"

Wedding I did Saturday, I of course got a request for it before the main party part even started. So I got on the mic and said "so four people have asked me to play a song called "Wobble"...I've never heard of it before, so I don't know if I have it....let me see what y'all are talkin about...." and half the people knew I was being sarcastic, the other half looked like "wait.............HE AIN'T GOT THE WOBBLE??!??"

heard some classics this weekend:

playing early 90's hip hop at 8pm, guy asks "can you play sandstorm by darude"

a few minutes later, girl demands I play "dead-mau-five" RIGHT NOW

by this point, it's gotten to the stage where I'm just ignoring people... this drunk chick has been standing there at the booth as if she was at a mcdonald's counter for like 5 minutes - i just give her the cold shoulder. Then she yells "are you gay?" LOL

another weird one.

This worked a couple times though:

Audiowhores, "Sometimes" -> Etta James, "Something's Gotta Hold on Me" -> Avicii, "Levels" at main hook.

Serious high-risk, high reward though. But it's not going to automatically lose like "Levels" will.

I have people come up wit there phones and say can you hook it up ta tha mixer and play this song? I`m like, NO! ya know I hav to educate the requesterz and let them know a request is a request and it dose not mean they can dictate or demand and dose not mean i`ll play it. If i already have a set I`ll try ta consider it and if there nice there is a more 50/50 chance I`ll play there song at some point. when the people that make request think if they ask fa a song its going to be played A.S.A.P. ,That is where a problem can happen. I let em kno I`ll see wut I can do but I hav already hav a set or a playlist fa tha night.

Then I end it and say, Thank you fa ya request and I turn around and go back ta work.

> I have people come up wit there phones and say can you hook it up ta tha mixer and play this song?

I put up with this if requests are an expected part of the event, like a wedding or certain private parties. It's often the easiest way to play their request.

Not in a freaking club, though--no way, no how.

That is true ta a certain extent. The request of one dose not dictate the needs of many. But we all kno that as we are all DJ`s here.

But once in a while you have terrorist in tha mist who want ta drop a bomb and spoil tha fun with tha happy passengers. So wut ya do??? Ya take em out!!

It's risky playing stuff off of someone else's medium if you've never previewed it. It may be their garbage, but whatever's coming out of the speakers ultimately reflects upon you.

I usually tell them I don't have the correct cable, or am reeeeally bad with these computer things and don't want to wipe their phone.

The original performance is on DVD, so I ripped it in to vegas and pumped it out untouched.
I dont think Ive ever done the transition without someone saying.... wow, thats what thats from?

I should really do it properly and render it out as a video edit...rather than doing it live every damn time, the loop on her long note that i use to bridge into levels never seems to be absolutely perfect....

can do the same thing with The Original Tenderness into Otis.

You're a true saint. I wouldn't have the patience to mess with someone else's phone, preview the track, hook it up, etc. At most, I'll ask what the song is, and if I have it, and if she's hot, I'd consider playing my own version off my drive.

I appreciate the complement. Here's the full story on why I got so patient about this.

Before I got my foot in the door in the local club scene, I did a number of events that were combinations of things like amateur fashion/talent shows (and similar) and dance parties. In the former part of the party, it's just way easier for everyone to give me their damn iPhones than try to get media to me. I admonish them to make sure they have a high quality track, and frankly an iPhone/iPod is good enough for most of their purposes.

Another time when this comes in handy is for things like scifi convention dances, where bizarre requests are a big part of the culture, and once again it's just easier to borrow their devices.

If it were something actually expected to be totally professional in terms of sound quality, I'd want to make sure the media was played through a pro-grade soundcard. This is why I won't do it in a club or anything like that (except in emergencies). Because of the possibility of equipment failure, I always have a TRS/RCA balun and an iPod on hand anyway, so it's not a major burden. :P

Sometimes it doesn't matter what the people who hired you want. If the venue or the neighborhood has decibel level restrictions, they can ask you nicely to turn it down, and then they can unplug yo' shit if you don't comply.

I did a wedding not too long ago where the venue hag lady had one of those. She busted it out before I even started - while a traditional Hawaiian band was playing. I thought for sure she was gonna give me grief once I started, but I never saw it again... bride and groom put her in check maybe? But I have had shows where some really pissed off decibel gestapo is like "THIS IS YOUR FINAL WARNING" and basically forced me to turn it down or end the party.

I carry my own decibel meter and monitor the volume. Problem is that managers/owners want to take readings form an inch away from the speaker. Proper measurements have to be taken at a variety of locations and standard distances (usually 1 meter/3 ft away from sound source), but that will only give you a volume measurement for that location, not the whole room.

They played N.i.Paris 11 times in a row!!

Nik, it honestly took me about 2 minutes to see what you did there. Damn I'm slow today.

I did a pool party Saturday. There were plenty of kids there. A teenage girl, about 14 comes up to make a request. She asked if I could play "Makalotta". That's the best way I can spell what she said. I asked who sings it or how does the song go? Instead, she proceeds to do a certain dance, which ended up being the Macarena.

Had a girl come up and request some Pitbull, cool. I played a song or two (mind you, she's borderline obese and not attractive at all).

Obese girl: "Can u play that one Pitbull song? It goes like blah blah blah..." (starts singing)

Me: "Sorry I don't know that tune." (puts headphones back on)

Obese girl: (leans over the 1's and 2's and starts to stare at my macbook screen) "Pull up the pitbull section so I can see what you have."

Me: Mannnn get the f out of here I'm trying to work (drops into next mix)

I really hate these 'internet popular' tracks that people think they are awesome for knowing.

Did an under18s thing last week and had about 30 requests for it within the first hour and a half (of 4 hours) when I eventually gave up and played it- I mixed it back into itself so it played for something like 8 minutes just to shut them up.
DJ Reflex 10:53 PM - 7 October, 2012
30 requests for what? I assume Gangnum Style, but I could be wrong.
Laz219 11:13 PM - 7 October, 2012
Yep, didn't realise there were so many posts between Dynamites above about that track.
DJ Reflex 2:39 AM - 8 October, 2012
I hear ya on your point, but consider this... if it only takes a few current "one-hit-wonders?" to please a crowd for the next 8 minutes, doesn't that make our job just a little easier? I like to jam the obscure old-school tracks too, but if you can keep up on a few mainstream pop hits and rock a crowd, then you've done your job and the masses are happy. I hate stupid song requests as much as the next guy, but playing songs like Gangnum Style for a bunch of teenagers is what they are paying us for.
I do mostly weddings and school functions. I don't consider it a lowering of my dignity to play these types of songs. In fact, I pride myself on how I can mix them in with some oldies and twist them around a bit so I DON'T sound like the local Top-40 radio station. It seems from your post that you did the same thing. :)

i have some remixes in these crates that may seem to be a mashup with another song but it's way too much electro in it for me. those tracks i would only use for gigs where there is a lot of house music involved.

If that happened to me I would have demanded she turn over her credit card and have the bar debit the cost of a new laptop from her card and have them pay me out for it before she leaves the building.

Last night was the worst night of requests I've ever had. This is my first spot I've DJ'd at consistently since July of this year. First was this guy who came up and and requested 'I Don't Like.' Told him I most likely wouldn't play it cause that's too hood for our spot. When I checked my crates I didn't even have it (song is complete and utter trash, why would I). Kept coming up to me throughout the night pointing to his watch saying "it's that time man, time for that I Don't Like." Just started completely ignoring this fool after that.

Another chick came up and asked "can you play Cupid Shuffle, and this Portuguese song I don't know the name." I told her I'd try to fit in the Shuffle just to get her to go away and I did play Ai Si Eu Te Pego, so I thought I was in the clear. But 1/2 an hour later, 5 minutes before closing when I've starting mellowing things out she comes up and starts bugging me again to play Cupid Shuffle. Cmon girl we're trying to clear the bar out, not get everyone dancing.

It's crazy how some people don't understand how a night is supposed to flow, they just want to hear their music now. It also doesn't help that I spin in a bar with hispanic, black, white, and even some 35+ year olds. Sometimes the diversity is a little too much.
Esco... 8:28 PM - 14 October, 2012
Oh, and the funniest part of all. Some drunk dude comes up to me and says "I have a bet with someone, that if you play Cupid Shuffle in the next 2 or 3 songs they will give me 100 bucks, I'll give you 50 bucks man!" I tell him "put 50 bucks in my hand, and when I grab those 50, Cupid Shuffle will be coming out the speakers." His response "dude I'm gonna be busy dancing with chicks though." Be aware, Cupid Shuffle is an individual line dance, you dance with yourself. So I assume he's drunk and tell him again to give me 50 and then he can collect the 100 from this "person" he made a bet with. Dude says he'll be right back and never comes back. These drunk ass people thinking they're witty, when they just look stupid.

It's 6AM and I'm sitting at the airport heading home. I got flown interstate to do a job last night- 18th birthday, 140 people.
After about 10 minutes of starting the organiser walks up with a USB key, "oh theres a bunch of songs on here we want to be played....like, now...just let them all play"
I thought what the hell, gave me a chance to relax for a bit while everyone ate dinner.

So after getting through the dinner, speeches and strippers they had....I started actually DJing, halfway through the second song the organiser walks up "ummm, is this still off the USB stick?" When I said no she told me to put it back on play all the songs on it.
In the end, I got flown out and paid to do a job that was essentially sticking a USB stick in my laptop, turning autoplay on and sitting at the back of the room with a drink.

Happens to me all the time lately at private events, I get handed USB sticks that are just full of the standard LMFAO/rihanna/pitbull and all those. Not like they are bringing some strange requests they wouldn't expect a DJ to have.

Oh there is plenty of potential there, I'd come up with it except I haven't sleep for going on 27 hours now so thinking isn't really working.

I mainly find it amusing that they bring these along like they don't expect you to have them when they are just standard tracks.
Although to be fair, I have spoken to some people about it and the reason is that they've had previous events where the DJ has turned up and was that old he didn't have any idea what to play- guess they are just covering themselves in case that happens.

Yeah, it's only the second time I've done an 18th where they had strippers. I think the idea is mostly to embarass the person whos' birthday it is in front of everyone.
Last night they had a male and female stripper (it was a girls 18th) Male stripper first and the birthday girl just sat there with her head in her hands, about a minute into it her mum took over her position.

The female stripper I'm really not sure why she was there, but it was the worst I've ever seen. From the second she turned up the guys basically all ran to the place she'd be doing the show and would not back up to give her space. She ended up ending it early because they would not stop crowding in on her.

Hey money is money. Make my job easier...WHY NOT? Lol that's exactly why I love my cdj 900s for having a USB slot on top. If it happens the laptop is closed in my book bag and on my back for the night. SHOTS SHOTS lol sike

Had a couple oddball requests today. So I had a gig at a college, mind you it was disco night for the dining hall for dinner. Some dude requested gangnum style, and a girl requested pop that, which I had to tell her it was a disco night and not a club. Then, later on, another chick was requesting soft metal. I stated not only was it disco night but I don't normally carry that. She asks, "well don't you have YouTube. I told her I'm a professional and my computer can.only use serato scratch live. Of course she was one of the workers working there.

SMH...

At least she didnt reply, I have that same computer and I use youtube all the time...

to that i could have only replied, "cool, so you DJ and play songs off youtube. you'll have to show me how. I'm tired of paying for songs, it would nice to let youtube do all the work. So how do you get internet here?"
Free Man 9:19 PM - 17 November, 2012
I had one a few weeks ago.

Chick comes up to me and says, The birthday girl said that you can play songs off spotify. I said ok, how do you propose that I do that? She says play it off the playlist. I said ok, i need the internet to access that. She says...

You dont need the internet for spotify. I said, ok, so with out the internet, how am i going to use spotify to get the songs that I know i dont have because they are Russian, and I dont have any Russian music.

Perfect response from her... turn and walk away... idiot. earlier i heard her telling someone about how rude she is to her personal assistant.

Best one for me is chick grappling over Dj booth and managing to get my belt open and hands down my pants.... then as falling back to dance floor grabs turntable arm and totally bends the shit out of it and breaks the arm...then gets kicked out of the venue ....then im cueing up record moving it back n forth looking at serato and feel something wet on my finger and it's her again sucking my finger and then gets dragged back out of the club .... :D

Quote:
"You think your cool playing only red records tonight?"

Also had a guy get kicked out before i had even dropped a track ...cause he came up saying whats this shit ? looking at me setting up my turntables...and says you're not even a band....had to laugh then he says as im laughing at him "Mate" your freinds on facebook would be soo disappointed in you...i started to look around to see if a bouncer was around cause he started to get pretty nasty and i value my equipment ...he could see i was looking for someone then yells out at the top of his voice OH YEH NEED A FUCKING BOUNCER !!! WHERE'S THE FUCKING BOUNCER !!!! then bouncer comes over grabs him and as he's getting kicked out he's like YA RED RECORDS WON'T SAVE YOU NOW :D Laughed soo hard ......
Another one had footy heads ask for Lionel Ritchie dancing on the ceiling and i don't have that shit and they tried to jump me after the gig (three of em)...but to their mistake i had been doing some landscaping work that day and had a shovel in my car ..pulled it out and they were like chill mate chill ......no shit ! wtf?

here's a good one for those djs who spin hs parties.

I did a hs homecoming party a while back and some of the students came up to the booth to ask why was I playing the clean versions of the tracks being mixed. I just told them, "gotta keep it clean cuz i'm not at club (insert name of club here) tonight. They then started asking the chaperones the same question later on that night.

damn... where the hell do you work!

I had some good ones last week.
it was doomed before it even started.
The Who Concert down the street.
Who Cover Band 1030-1200
then me 12-2
and i was told do NOT cater to the rock crowd.... we want to cycle them out and bring in
our regular hip-pop top 40 dance... Of course I argued this... knowing damn well the antics
that were going to ensue.

Sure enough. even though I stuck to top 40 I had one guy who kept coming to the booth
RED FACED, 59 YEARS OLD AND BULLLLLSHIT!
Just screaming "ROCK AND ROLLLLLLLLLLL!" What is this shit!!!! shut it the fuck off.
I just smiled and did the "1 sec in my headphones move" in which i could feel his anger gowing...
I always try to deflate these peoples anger.... 3 strike rule.
so, i said .... whats up?
ROCK AND ROLL!
are you just making a general statement.... or is that a question?
PLAY SOME ROCK AND ROLL!!!
anything?
ANYTHING!!!
ok, Buddy...I got you.
so I dropped in 7 nation army
he stands in the middle of the floor screaming "what the fuck is this!" and bolts to my booth....

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS....
Do you have a request, other than a genre of 750 million songs.... ?
play some REAL ROCK AND ROLL !!!
** at this point as expected The Who crowd is not leaving, but are ok grooving to your typical top40 fluff....
So I drop Shook me all night long (a sublte redrum that most think is the original)
then as a lil bonus I drop a nice edit of Baba ORielly from 08 ((all video)
so the who fans erupt.... all excited, singing....clapping..
he bolts to the booth...
shut this bullshit off and play the original!!!!!!!
no.
WHAT?!!! (MOTIONS CLOSER AND sticks chest out)
I drop my headphones like Terry O'Reilly and start walking out of the booth.
i get with in about 5 feet, and he looks salty.

SECURITY!
by the time he realizes what i said he is being escorted out kicking and screaming, spitting on bouncers...

and the owner was right there (which i knew) and he goes jesus... these fucking rock and roll crowds are crazy....
(i bit my toungue.... but this is the same guy who breaks out in a sweat if i play DMX)

come on son... whens the last time we had someone act like that after a hiphop show!

Joshua Carl - why would the club manager listen to you? I mean, you're just a DJ. He's a manager. And, he just turned 28, so you know, he's all wise and stuff.

lol.. i did that... i didnt even let her get to what she was going to say... she was one of those people who stand there while you have your headphones on... She said "its my birthday" I said Happy birthday, gave her a hug and while she was smiling, i was in a hurry so i tosses my headphones back on. her jaw hit the floor.. pretty funny, i felt a little bad. but people who say that and it isnt their b-day ruin it for the others..

Unless they are asking for a shout out i assume that birthdays are all fake. I have called girls on it before and asked to see there ID and they run away. But i find if they are asking for a shout out its for real and i will even ask them if theres a song they want to hear if i'm in a good mood.

Saturday i played a prettty popular hiphop room... before i even stapped on stage (my first time there in 5 years)the sound guy says (nicely) "Hey man, easy on the mic tonight..."

I dont use the mic.
-at all
well, unless i feel its totally necessary...
-well thats good, some guys in the past get a lil crazy.
dont even put it in the booth
-perfect! (smiles)

so all night im thrawting off shouts and "can i see the mic"
and by midnight, girls, promoters all got the hint there was no mic tonight.
and it was great. (even though at some point he ran one to the booth anyways around 1230)
sure enough, promotter gets on the mic.
FLOOD GATES OPEN.

the stage is rushed by about 20 girls..so many I couldnt even see past them.
he looks at me.
"good job, pandoras box is now open..." i say.
it was a rough 10 minutes.

arguabably i could have handled it better, im not anti shoutout.... thats why people go out
on their birthday. but ive found when you have 8 cooks in the kitchen, you end up with 6 of them on the mic... which is a NO GO in my book.

ugh.... "the mic"

The worst "it's my birthday" girl I've seen was at a club I wasn't playing at. Girl got a shout-out from the DJ not long after I arrived. I was just hanging out by the bar most of the night and heard her every single time she came anywhere near the bar walk up to the nearest guy "It's my birthday!" - guy buys her a drink, turn to talk to her and she's already halfway across the club with the drink.
She actually tried it on me after I'd been there for a few hours and when I called her on it she tried to get security to kick me out....they just laughed at her.

I never buy girls drinks at the club. Seen that crap happen waaaaay to often from the booth. Even saw one give it to her boyfriend after a dude brought her a drink. I laughed so hard.

This got me in trouble once at a school. A couple kids asked me to announce a kid's birthday. I did, but it turns out it was not the kids' B-day and it was a joke played on him by some class bullies. We had to stop the dance, turn on the lights, and get everyone settled down after the embarrassment and disruption. The kids who requested the shout-out left after the chaperones came in to look for them. I felt bad, but now I don't announce anyone's birthday.

Last NYE, a drunk chick comes up to my DJ booth and asks for 4 or some odd number shots of Tequilla. I told her I was the DJ and the bar was to my left. She walks through the dance floor, gets turned around, comes back to the booth and again asks for shots of tequilla. I told her we are all out. She said OK and walked (staggered) away.

Had a couple oddball requests today. So I had a gig at a college, mind you it was disco night for the dining hall for dinner. Some dude requested gangnum style, and a girl requested pop that, which I had to tell her it was a disco night and not a club. Then, later on, another chick was requesting soft metal. I stated not only was it disco night but I don't normally carry that. She asks, "well don't you have YouTube. I told her I'm a professional and my computer can.only use serato scratch live. Of course she was one of the workers working there.


I had a gig last week where there were two people were scheduled to perform during the course of the night. I was first asked if I could just pull the song up on youtube, I gave the same response as you did. Then she got pissed, even though it was her personal responsibility to forward or request the music BEFORE the night of the event... They even asked if I could just play the song off of an Iphone smh

I want to punch people in the face who want to stare at my computer or ask to see what I have while I'm on deck.

Yeah, I really hate that, especially when they are right under my armpit and I need to access the deck on that side.

Yeah, the promoter decided to be a mic whore that night too, it was hard for a minute to build my set, because my volume was ducking out every time he jumped on...

It's time to get this thread going again. People are doing holiday parties so I am sure you are getting some funky requests...

The other night I got a normal request, so normal it was weird "Hey can you play Yolanda Be Cool". I was like WTF is that. After asking him the name of the song or artist several times, eh said it quite clearly. I gave up. Then the guy had to sing it for me and I was like "Oh ya, No Speak Americano". He gave me a funny ass look, and i told him "I can't remember anyone actually giving me the artist name for this song".

Sometimes people surprise me, they aren't always dumbasses...

Minutes later, I got the dumbass requests.....I am transitioning from doing mostly clubs to doing more mobile now, but musically, most people hire me to play club music at their events...but I had an older male, probably 50-60, get very upset that I hadn't play ANY classic rock...I started to argue and just shook my head...and then he said "You play these songs, everyone is gonna get out here and dance". I just shook my head. Drop "Old Time Rock N Roll" and it cleared the dance floor. Except for him and his wife, and I suspect two of his guests. The person that comes up and tells me "Man, that's my boss, he complained last year the dj (who was also me) didn't play any music he liked". He thanked me. After a few more "older people" songs, the dance floor was packed and I went back to the regular stuff...

Laz219 10:06 PM - 19 December, 2012
Not even as a DJ, I just personally hate the overnight obsessions with songs like that and the way people talk about it like it's their personal discovery.

I find it interesting, Psy is doing a music festival down here. The lineup was announced months ago and he's been on it since the start.
The festival is still 3 months away though. I figure by then everyone is going to be that sick of the whole thing.

That said, if the paying client asks for it, I play it. Because that's the job.

I think if you play mainstream music, there's always gonna be a few songs you don't like to play for whatever reason, but you play it because people respond....for me it started with Milli Vanilli "Girl YOu know It's true". But once ladies started asking for it, I had no problem playing it.

Friday res, Top40/EDM, usual stuff kind of place.


Chick with bad armpit smell "Do you have any Kurt Cobain, The Weeknd, or new rap?"


Mostly odd because of the wide array of music she asked for, uncomfortable because of the Italian hoagie smell permeating from under her shirt. Ridiculous because of a combination of the two.

Can I get a hell yeah.

The only person who tells me what to play is the club manager or the licensee. Everyone else get screw themselves.

I feel that because I'm such good friends with the bar staff (we continually have staff parties after the venue shuts) that they feel they can have input
wardie 2:56 AM - 7 January, 2013
Last night there was an older (40's) girl I know at the club. She started out (relatively sober) w/ some 80's requests, I played them, all good, or so I thought.

As the night went on, she became more drunk and more aggressive w/ her requests, which became more absurd (I was playing 128bpm dance tracks and she was incessantly requesting 90's alternative...).

Got to the point where she would drop off napkins at the booth w/ track 'suggestions' written on them and then follow up 30 secs later to find out when I'd be playing them.

Finally, after dropping off a napkin and telling me that I didn't know what a DJ was, she left me alone for a the rest of her time there, thought it was all good.

At the end of the night I looked at the napkins, the one on top read:

'Play Oasis or DIE'

Swear to God... Srsly, WTF happens to these people? Do they get possessed???
Laz219 5:27 AM - 7 January, 2013
Ah the progressively worse requester.
It really can work against you sometimes when you do be nice and play what they want early on. It seems to give them a sense of power that you'll be their bitch for the night and do whatever they want.

I generally take most requests with a "yep! If I can fit it in I'll try" 95% of people appreciate the positive reply and leave you to it. Yet then you'll get the person that comes back non-stop.
Using that as my generic reply, I had someone a few months back actually reply "Whoa! most other DJs are usually so angry and rude when I request anything" to which I did say "if you come up once, fine....if you come up repeatedly, I will be exactly the same"

I did a company xmas party recently, girl kept coming up and asking for (I forget what it was) but some really slow, obscure and basically acoustic track "because it's mine and my friends song"
After she came up for about the 3rd time I just said "I really don't care, you're two people that will like that song and everyone else will wonder what the hell I'm doing, if you've got a reasonable request fine"

I hate it when people think they own you whether they're the ones that pay you or not. I make it very clear with anyone that gets out of hand, if they're paying me, that they're paying for my services and not for me to be their slave. I've only had to tell one person once that if they didn't like it, I could pack up and go. Of course they said some shit about a refund and I said..... read the contract. No refunds. Take me to court if you don't like it. And, that was the end of it.

I take a quick pee break, and come back to the HORROR of her behind the DJ table, actually using my mouse to SCROLL through my music.....

I can't even remember what type of death grip I had her in, but it was a swift easy police take down motion, and proceeded to almost throw her on the floor...

Open format nights.

you are 4 songs out of 85-95 bpm range and deep in 125-132 someone requests something at 90.

I dont live by BPMS as a rule.
but it is a rule that as soon as you change gears expect someone to ask for something that has nothing to do with what your playing.
then get mad when you tell them, yes, but it will be a lil bit

Every fucking time i get a stupid request it happens to be at this point in time.

I agree with the not being super restricted to by your BPM's (or Keys at some points) But when you jut finish with a 90's hiphop set you get the feeling your dance floor is done with it transition back to your 128 dance floor fillers, then 4 songs in and your leaning more in to bangers and electro and some one asks you for "play some biggie smalls, everyone wants to hear it" It makes me want to punch a baby! Why couldnt you come give me your request 10 min ago. No i'm not play your request (well i'm smilling like sure i will play it right away for you, but i wont).

MAN, if I didn't know better I'd swear that broad flew cross-country and was at my show this last Saturday lol. Had this chick who was making requests here and there... she had asked for Pony (no problem), some top40 song that I was gonna play anyway, etc.

Towards the end of the night - like last 10 minutes, she comes back up, suuuuper drunk and slurry. First asking, then pleading, then damn near demanding I play "Footloose".

I had to tell her "first off, I'm winding down. They already gave me the 5-minute warning, and here at this bar I have to take it out chill so that people leave and don't get all hyped up and hang around."

"COME ON. I know you can do it."

I told her "that's not the point, this is a job, I have certain guidelines I have to follow, a high energy song right now of ANY kind is gonna piss the owner off. Besides the fact that there is a time and a place for Footloose, and this is not it."

(This is a super open format place, it actually might have worked earlier on, I do 80s nights there and will play it no problem on those nights - but at this point I was not gonna do ANYTHING for this chick.)

She then sends up the boyfriend, who pleads with me "Really man? You can't just do Footloose real quick to make her happy? She's super drunk and she's gonna bitch about it the whole way home bro." I LOLed and genuinely felt bad for the guy, but stuck to my guns. Finished out, and went to take a piss.

I come back, and this chick is behind my turntables about to mess with my Mac! Thankfully I had already exited Serato before I left the room and I'm sure she had no idea what to click on from my desktop. Her dude saw me come back in the room, looked and saw where she was, and pulled her out from behind the decks before I got over there lol. As they shuffled past me he was like "dude, I'm sorry, she's hella wasted" so I let him deal with her.

The nerve of some people. >.<

top 40, uptempo room.

Call me maybe & Gangnam style STILL create a dancefloor frenzy (2013)

Girl: Can you play something for me and my friends, its a birthday party
Me: what cha got?
G:(holding up phone) 1. Dont you worry child, 2. I Cry 3.Fade into Darkness 4. The Calling 5. Scream & Shout.
[there was actually like 8... but those i took mental note...I was probably gonna play em anyways]
me. I snatch the phone as I always do (Its my little effort to stop people from doing this... you can tell the girls who have dirty pictures, cause they freak as soon as you grab it)
truth be told i like the phone... nothing gets lost in translation...
"so, yeah Ill play those through out the night... they are all standards here"

G: no, the guy last week didnt have ANY of these songs....
m: come on... none of these? maybe he already played them?
G: no I stood there while he tried to download them off itunes but the internet was too slow.

wow.
wow.
wow.

This, (wack DJs like this) is one of the contributing factors to the BS we deal with.
I try to be as honest as i can with people and not blow sunshine, which pains me more when i get a ACTUAL good request, and the room really just not want that kinda track.
Ingo B 11:15 PM - 7 January, 2013
Wow, you guys are chatty with your requestors. I generally give them one word responses or a thumbs up, then proceed to ignore them (under the guise of focusing on my job).

If they persist, I just pretend I forgot who they are, even after the 4th or 5th time. Yes, that actually happened, and yes, they really believed I forgot who they were.

Had a girl come up at 11pm and wanted reggae... I just gave her the thumbs up. I had been playing uptempo stuff for the past 45 minutes. She comes up a little after midnight drunk and wants to know when the reggae she wanted was going to be played. I said mmm ill get it on later dont worry. She says what do i have to do get some reggae, STRIP for you? I came out around from my setup and looked at her up and down and told her "Ha! no thanks".
The look on her face was priceless.
I guess she thought she was some hot thing

Yeah its a total gamble.
sometimes it blows up in your face. [Ive certainly had more of those)
other times you end up with some people doing some nice social media promoting for you.
(which always looks good to people who are entertaining booking you, and your pages are full of praise from genuine customers)

when Im running The Twitter Feed at my gigs I tell people to tweet their request.
1. they get excited when they see their picture on the screen.
2. They usually follow it up with a "OMG He played this song for me thanks thanks ect ect"

cha-ching.

I swear, the last three weddings I did over the summer - the bride, a bridesmaid, or the bride's mom came up to me to request some obscure song that I had on deck! I try and throw in some odd-balls once in a while, but to have people actually request that stuff... at that exact moment... was pretty freaky. BTW, the mom gave me a hug and $50 tip at the end of the night.

I feel like the DJ world just got a little smaller.
sixxx 2:36 AM - 8 January, 2013
That's happened to me a bunch of times and also with stuff that isn't on the current top charts. So, I guess we're doing our jobs as far as reading the crowd.
O.B.1 12:31 PM - 8 January, 2013
^^^ that happens all too often... I just laugh, and show them the screen as I'm mixing it in, and point to my head with the crazy motion and say "ESPN!"
Code:E 10:21 PM - 8 January, 2013
What really sucks is when you have a track cue'd up and someone comes to give you a request and happens to request that song you are about to play. This itself isn't a problem, to me it proves that you are either fully intune with what the crowd wants so well that you are predicting there requests before they make them, and/or you have trained your crowd over a longer period of time that when they hear other types of songs you have played previously it triggers in there mind how awesome it is when you play this next song with it (they dont know this consciously).
The real problem comes in when you actually play there song 30 seconds after they requested it and they think you are playing it because of them, when really your not. Then they demand other songs later in the night and freak out that your not playing it right away. I hate this soooo much.

Does anybody else change there next song if they can just so people don't think that you are playing there song right away cause they asked?
slimmjimm 10:23 PM - 8 January, 2013
I have changed songs, but not as a rule. Their attitude has a large part in it.
DJ Dac 10:26 PM - 8 January, 2013
i have changed it right a way too, all based off of attitude though, once i played a few bars of the song they just requested and slammed it over into something completely different to just piss them off... come to think about i have done that many times...
Laz219 4:37 AM - 9 January, 2013
I've done the change when they've asked me really rudely, I'll probably still play it (seeing as I obviously wanted to) but I'll hold off for 45 minutes or so.

If they ask nicely, I'll just point at the deck.
I have had it a few times where I've been actively mixing the next song in, while they've come up I've got them to hold on.
So as we start talking the song is starts building up and they get really confused as to how they've asked for a song and 2 seconds later the hook is suddenly playing.
Pro1dgy 5:21 AM - 9 January, 2013
I normally would play a snippet of the track, teaser and move on until they are are about to leave that is if I feel generous or its one of those tracks.
skinnyguy 8:32 AM - 9 January, 2013
i like when they're coming up to request the song that i'm mixing in and when they ask me for it, i just shake my head and say "haven't heard of it....i have no idea who/what you're talking about". then they look at me like, "what kinda dj are you? you haven't heard of..." and then they notice the song that's playing...

=D
DjayRage 2:08 PM - 9 January, 2013
Not really mixing, but on NYE at my brothers house he had some friends and family over and I just had a playlist playing. Some little girl comes up to me and I'm like crap here comes the Bieber, Psy etc. requests
She asks me if I could play Kurtis Blow - The Breaks!
Faith in humanity restored...
slimmjimm 3:10 PM - 9 January, 2013
This is more of a comment one.

3 weeks ago, about 12:30-12:45 music and (small isn) crowd moving along, everything is going fine. All of the sudden, waveforms disappear, oh shit!, I try and load another track, beach ball, dammit!!!, a few seconds later, silence.

I go over to the clubs PC which has VDJ ready to go with a very long pre made mix. I hit play, and NOTHING!

Now my pressure is rising, and some dumb bitch from the crowd yells (over the normal ahhs and ohhs) WHY'D YOU DO THAT!?!!??!?

If I wasn't scurrying around looking for a CD or any other type of music source to get up and running again, I probably would have jumped out of the booth and banzai kicked her. Like I really planned that, or did it on purpose.

After about a 10-15 sec ordeal (which feels like 3 hours) my MBP started churning out music again. As far as the club PC, there is a Rane 2016 hooked up to the expander and some genius earlier in the week decided to turn down all the eq's and kill the frequencies.

At first I had chocked up the cutout to the new tagging in SSL, even though I know I had played that file the previous night, then I figured it might have been a bad .mp4, because I kind of seem to recall the same thing happening to the same file the same previous night( can't 100% remember though), and now, I'm betting on it being because I had my laptop just sitting on the countertop in the booth and the external drive just laying there as well getting punished with vibrations.

The last two weeks I've had my laptop and drive on a stand on the same area the CDJ's and 68 are. That part of the booth countertop is pretty well uncoupled and isolated from the rest of the booth. No problems with the same file.

I know, CSB. Just re-thinking and typing this makes me want to go have a beer.
Joshua Carl 5:17 PM - 9 January, 2013
External hd?
(The way you described it sounds like the HD is starting to go, or over heating)

I had the same thing at my Thursday
All summer it was fine(AC ON BLAST)

Now it's heat on blast.
So the room is 75
But the vent is next to the booth, so it's more like 85
On my drive (sea gate 1.5 Tb golfer pro fw800) it was actually the fw800 connector that was gettin too hot. A $20 pocket fan from brookstone fixed it
(But I'm moving to a caldigital av performance drive)
slimmjimm 6:26 PM - 9 January, 2013
It was an external, Seagate GoFlex using the FW800. I have a few backups, but switching to a LaCie rugged for my main.

Heat is a possible option as well, and it did cross my mind at the time, the drive seemed hotter than normal.

The booth has, for the most part, angled counter space, except for the table area for the CDJ's, 68, and the controller for the club PC. Since I wasn't using a stand, I had just flopped the HD in the back of the laptop so it would stop sliding, so it was right in the middle of exhaust vent city.

It's funny how people react to stress. I get drop outs now and then but in that 1/2 second, my mind races thru 10 different trouble shooting items!

I have my iphone plugged into the AUX on my mixer w/ a couple of pre-loads and only had to go to it once. Had to restart the MBP and in that 2 minutes....it felt like forever!!!
Joshua Carl 10:49 PM - 9 January, 2013
I carry that UDG Vinyl case in my bag.
2 sets of slipmats, 3 pair of CVs, and a copy of Xmix urban "OLD TO THE NEW SCHOOL HIP-HIP MEGAMIX" which will buy me 14+ minutes of trouble shooting.
the other record is Pump up the Volume-Marrs (which i occasionally switch out with Aly-us- Follow me) gig depending.

but it really makes me envy the CDJ guys.
becuase they can load 3 15 minute megamixes on track 2-3-4 if shit goes hoooey.

countless times Ive had the record out of the sleeve....
my hand reaches for the needle....
POW everything is back in action....phewwwww.
doesent happen often, but when it does its like a heart-attack moment.
DJ Reflex 2:27 AM - 10 January, 2013
Had this happen at a high-profile gig a few years back. I was using a desktop PC that I custom built for Searto. Fired it up during dinner and ... nothing. Not even a blue screen with all the error messages. I had the hall run dinner music through the house system for about 20 minutes while I tore apart the computer. I found that the battery on the motherboard popped out and reset the whole thing. I got some tape and a pen cap to hold it back in place while I rebooted. About 5 minutes before the dancing was supposed to begin, I get that familiar Windows Start-Up music! Ahh....

Worked the rest of the night. I guess desktop computers were not meant for road abuse no matter how well padded they are!

OK, I guess we did get off on a tangent, but to come full circle, the head cheese of the event just gave me a CD to play for the first half-an-hour so he could give his cooperate speech on upcoming sales projections after dinner.

I ended up playing it nearly twice through.

wardie 3:54 PM - 11 January, 2013
Slightly off topic here... I played my local bar on Wednesday, always a fun gig, even when not packed, ppl are still dancing till 4am. One of those people was a really nice young girl who must have spent 3 hours on the dance floor, rocking out the whole time. She actually yelled a cpl requests (beyonce & bone thugs I think) which I was happy to oblige.

However, at last call, she realized that her purse was missing. She had it w/ some of her friends stuff in some chairs by a table. I know this happens every night and it's dumb to leave ur valuables away from your person for any amount of time, but this case was really sad. She was crying, etc. And left w/o finding it.

I packed up and went home. Then randomly while in the shower an hour later, I recalled a memory from the night of this really shady looking dude hanging out around that table for a really long time. I actually remembered it b/c the he was dancing around a bit and I was thinking of it in terms of getting someone else to dance. Sadly, he was just trying to blend in for a minute while stealing people's stuff...

Felt pretty bad after that memory came thru, although I don't know what I could have done anyway b/c I certainly didn't witness any actual crime in progress. Tough to call someone out for appealing shady, esp when ur actually just trying to get that person to dance. Life of a DJ eh...

My bad for digression, had to get off my chest tho.

Horror story from my boy a few weeks ago in NYC.

"Im spinning and i smell a really nasty fart, look around and theres no one near me. The smell keeps getting stronger and stronger, people on the dancefloor are starting to smell it too. All of a sudden i see the middle of the dancefloor start to clear.

There was a puddle of diarhea with two high heeled shoes sticking out of it. Some chick shit the floor, left her shoes there, and bounced.

Took the staff a while to clean it up, but the smell never left, club stunk like shit for the rest of the night, the place was pretty much empty 15-20 min after this happened"

He said he woke up the next day still smelling it.

"Can you turn it up louder?"

Artists speaking in normal voice on mic: "Turn my mic up." Then when they start rapping they screaming and clipping amps and shit.

Female: "Can you slow it down and play something freaky?"
Ced: "But it's midnight though and the floor is packed."
Female: "And everybody is waiting for you to drop that."
Ced: *blank stare*
Like how the fuck you know this shit? Did you take a pshycic poll and collect the information?
yep
Papa Midnight 2:06 AM - 17 January, 2013
Of course.

Also, don't forget that it's not loud enough and everyone wants you to turn it up.

I was at a place a few weeks ago, and I realized that the sound there was utter shit.

I happened to "know" the "DJ" there and know that doesn't know how to level for shit so I went in the booth and leveled it right for him (what is it with people cranking up the highs and mids?) as he was clipping (bad) so the limiter was kicking in and cutting off the tweeters (aka: It sounded like shit).

So, he's now playing at a nominal volume. It's clearly audible throughout the entire club (and I'm wearing ear plugs as I always do). Apparently, this was not loud enough. I edged it up but just enough to keep it from clipping (aka, the dreaded red).

I shit you not, the resident mc went over and just jammed up the master on the outboard mixer (which was a piece of shit).

Limiter couldn't compensate in time.

Speakers blown.

NYE....like 90% girls, and it's 10:30, so super early. I play one 90's song, they go wild, so I do 3-4 more and they're still hype to it.

Before I did this, it's a couple here, and the guy asked if he could lay his jacket on my sub....I'm like....yeah iite, I can't watch it like that but yeah. So while I'm on the 90's, I see him go to my best friend who's standin next to me, but not to where I can hear...and from his facial expressions, i could tell it was some bullshit being said.

When he walked away, my boy says "Man...I don't like that dude's attitude at all. He came to me asking why are you playing all that 90's shit, asked if it's 90's night, and said he can't vibe to it. He said him and his girl want to stay, but that they might leave because they don't want to hear that 90's shit. I told him it's early and that you were gonna play all the new music, and he said that's cool, but that he still didn't wanna hear any other 90's music for the rest of the night."

The main thing I'm trippin on is that one, ALL the girls in there are singin along and hype over it, especially because it's a 25-32 type crowd. And two, I could give a mad ass f'k, as MC Eiht said, if y'all leave. And three...90's is >>>>> when it's Rap and R&B. It's not even that many brand new R&B songs that work on an early vibe that girls can sing along to.

When you cut out the "OPENED UP YOUR GAP" part of that lovely tune, take a gander, and you will see experienced females scream out in joy those words for you, without music.

and then theres the wanna be's who come up to you and say "hey man, im a dj too".

then i ask them what their setup consists of... and of course they say something along the lines of mixtrack, hercules, idj or they just have VDJ Lite on their laptop...

then they ask if they can bring a hard drive to the club next week and if i could "hook a fellow dj up" with some tunes. or ask if they can hook their phone up to my computer and i put some songs on it.

I had a cat a while back wanna throw in some "hot new mega-mix" he just produced. It was on his flash drive, so I tried to upload it to my computer. The file type was .fjq or something... computer didn't recognize it and it wouldn't play. I asked the dude about it and he said I had to play it with (some "DJ" production software). Turns out that he only had the free demo of the software and couldn't render it as .wav .mp3 or anything useful. I gave him his flash drive back, deleted the file, and told him to go away.

Guy comes back a few minutes later asking if I could just download the free version myself and play his track "live" from the computer??? Whaaaa?

Haha, although his humor was highly questionable he was joking w/ the badge.

I did consider throwing on the Dinosaur Jr. version of Just Like Heaven just to see what he would do but in the end I'm there to entertain the crowd and they def wanted r&b.


The fight thing left a bad taste in my mouth about pop rap/r&b. It's sort of sad & awkward that I can't play certain music for this crowd for fear of people getting out of control.

I'm going to focus on all classic (non-violent) r&b jams at tha gig from now on. It'll be a good opportunity to expand my set.

Live & learn.

The case i've encountered the most over my few years of deejaying is when you tone it down (when there's like less than half an hour left before the club/bar closes) for people to understand that the party is nearing it's end...

That's exactly when some random guy/girl appears saying shit like "man you totally gotta play *insert track here*, everybody will dance, i swear" !

And just sometimes they take it to a next level and go FULL RETARD.

That's when they do the exact same thing when you already stopped the music for a couple of minutes...

I still can't understand this behaviour. Talked to my boss about this on Saturday he DJ'ed at the club he now owns for 5 years. He left the business for 4 years than came back. And still this its crazy/counter productive/and just plain stupid to calm people down before the club closes. I call BS on the fact people say it cause fights after the lights come on. If you are having problems you need better doormen who can see situation forming and intervene before things get out of hand. Also fights went down drastically when all of the clubs introduces ID scanning systems that are linked to every pub,bar and club in the city. You start shit in one place your reported and could even be arrested to spend a night in the drunk tank and every venue will know when they scan your ID what shit you have started and can choose whether they want to let you in or not. Maybe its just the stupid people in your club and not the fact that the music was awesome right until the end. And top calm people down when you could have them peeking and buying more drinks. From the bars perspective they want you ordering a round of shots and a drink 2 min before the club closes. why wouldn't they. They only have so many hours of busy (usually 2.5 (11:30-2am)) so why tone it down and cause less drinks to be bought for that last 30 min.

They tried to introduce that in Australia and people went nuts over it saying it was an invasion of privacy and just a way for venues to track them.
It's a little off putting to think you could be blacklisted from many venues if you got on the wrong side of something. Seeing how over the top security can be at times I can imagine this giving some a little too much power and they'd be too quick to put an incident on your card that you may not have been directly involved in.
I've seen people that are just walking past when I fight breaks out end up being kicked out as the security just try to grab everyone in the center of it. That could cause problems for them later even if they had nothing to do with it.
DJ Dac 11:13 PM - 18 February, 2013
the scanning software is pretty genius, you get their address, names, ages, sex... you can do some pretty good market research with it.

On the down side I have been denied because my license wouldn't scan before, i was pretty salty since i clearly don't look like im under 21.. but it is what it is and i took my money elsewhere
DJ Reflex 11:17 PM - 18 February, 2013
If I remember right, Germany had something like that years ago when I was there on deployment. Couple of bros got into trouble at one hot-spot and got banned from several clubs in the area. They did scan your ID as you walked into the club.

They only have so many hours of busy (usually 2.5 (11:30-2am)) so why tone it down and cause less drinks to be bought for that last 30 min.


when people are the most drunk, they cause the most problems, it makes sense to me.

i don't do it, as you said, for the bar sales. thats all that matters for the people that i work for.

Explain counter productive?

How many Bouncers/Security does your club have? How long does it take for them to clear the club? I'm sure they repeat C'mon people let's go - over and over and over and over again trying to push partons to the door.

If it is a true club and it closes at 2am and you are still banging at 1:50 - people don't ALWAYS herd together like sheep and walk toward the exit as soon as you fade down your last beat. They linger, they talk, they finish drinks, they get coats, they hit the bathroom, they do EVERYTHING but make a orderly line for the door.

Also what time does your bar/club do Last Call/stop serving? If your Club closes at 2am and they are still serving at 1:50 - you are gonna have a club full of folks sipping drinks at 2:05 or some pissed patrons when they have to leave 1/2 their $10 drink and exit the club.

The club has already made maximum profit probably by 1:15 or 1:30 - the last 1/2 hour may bring in 10% more money but may result in more problems exponentially by trying to make a few extra dollars and you playing hard until the very end.

If you start programming for closing starting at 1:30 - people began to leave or think about leaving GRADUALLY. If you can lose 10% of the club every 10 minutes - it probably beats having 50% dump out at 2am and the other 50% sitting there or in the club until 2:15 or 2:30.

Anybody else play hard until last minute??? How does that work?

Last Call is At 2 the club has to be empty by 3, at least that's how it is here, that's why we play hard til 2 then wind down after the bar closes...every where around here has a slightly different shut off time all between 2:15 and 2:45 ish(it all depends on how fast they can get them out the door after the music is off)
DJ DisGrace 1:14 AM - 19 February, 2013
It was discussed to death in another thread, but in Code:E's neck of the woods it's last call at 2:00 and club shuts down at 2:00, everyone out. It's a province-wide rule so everyone seems to be used to it.

I know if people got asked to leave 1 minute after buying a drink in my area, it would not be pretty. However, also remember that BC is the ganj capitol of Canada....

that's what I'm used to. If people don't like the wind down after 2, the bar is closed so they're welcome to leave. Maybe not even a wind down, just switch it up. Back in the day we'd save all the reggae till after 2. People that didn't like it left, people that wanted reggae didn't care if they had drinks or not, they were too busy grinding up on some girls.

So are you still playing (any) music from 2a - 3a??? What are people doing from 2am-3am?

So theoretically if he were in mainstream America - he'd play hard until ONLY 1am/last call, then turn all music off at 1am and let people sit until 2am with no music???

That is even more fucked than the 1:30 wind down programming we do here in the US, Clubs I have worked at in the past had regulars (and employees friends) who hung out after 2am close and got pours plus the staff would do Bar shots, etc.

If the DJ is still banging hard - WITHOUT alcohol or drinks for the last hour - it is like the deep House or Techno parties that sometimes go 'til 4 or 5 in the AM - drinks stop at 2am so you lose 20-50% of the crowd but the true music lovers will still party off Red Bull and bottled water and of course the music.

This. The club clears out slowly as people finish their drinks. Depending on the crowd you can get into some house, old school, reggae, soca, and play some real tunes. Usually the bar stops serving at 2, and you play music until 2:30. Lights on and everyone out by 2:45.

And people definitely stock up on drinks at last call, so bar sales see a boost around 1:45 when people know it's their chance for some drinks.

i would love to see a blind double study to see how it might effect the behavior of boneheads.
if it actually worked (and meatheads were thwarted from doing stupid shit , by thinking to themselves..."damn they got a copy of my license, if i fuck up, theres no escaping jail time")

put a big enough sign up front when they scan the IDs WHY they are scaning them...

then eventually it might work like a placebo.... just seeing your ID scanned (even if it isnt) will make you think twice about starting some shit IN THE CLUB.... example:

I'm thinking Security cameras in the club + bouncer/security memory - they review the tapes/video and view the ids and note the offenders "account" or record.

Though wait a month yet before you show this to any owners you know. this system is common in my area but from what i have been told we are ripping it out to get the same system used in Alberta (next province over). Its suppose to be faster and cheaper and it wil be nice since we are a tourist town to be linked with a larger group of venues.

Also as a selling point to your owners. It cost up $5000 to install the system (computer and parts) and $2000 a year to keep it active. Our insurance went down $3000 a year by having it installed.

the scanning software is pretty genius, you get their address, names, ages, sex... you can do some pretty good market research with it.


Not in Canada. Privacy laws stat we are not allowed to keep or even view the info. It helps with some people who are worry about privacy, i know i was, when they where 1st installed.

It is a lot of work to find some asshole in the system and write a note on on them. It doesn't happen that often. But It makes people think twice. Also gangsters and people banned from the RED ZONE (bar district, downtown core) by law (parole and things like that get lots of people banned) don't even try to get in anymore.

17 on a capacity night. People in this area (and anywhere in Canada I have been) know the drill, ugly lights come you, you get the fuck out. If your waiting in line at coat check, your an idiot for not getting you jacked 10 min early) but you dont get hassled.

By law no one can have a drink in there hand 30min after close and no one can be in the venue 1 hour after close. 500 people usually take 25 min to clear. and when there's not 500 they still give them about that much time.

We pour (like every bar in BC) until 1:59. and then yes you only have 1 min to drink you drink. If your sipping at 2:05 in the morning something is wrong with you. but seriously, people understand the rules and they know.

Again every club owner in this city would fire you the 1st night for programming your night to get people to leave 1 min early. I played the new TJ track the other night as my last track and got a bad looks from everyone, owners and patrons, they want to party to the very last min.

When was the last time you went to a concert and the headlining act played there shitty slow tracks for there last 30 min of there set, to clear out the stadium quickly?

The bar dump at 2am is the city problem. its a big issue everywhere. But no bar owner is going to sacrifice $1 of profit to give the cops an easier time. All of the bars have been pushing for law changes. We all want to be able to play music until 3am but stop drinks at 2am to help thin out the crowd. But until that happens nothing will change.

And we play HARD until 1:59. Bonfire hard! almost always something heavy as fuck for the last track.

If people really want to keep partying they know at 2am get the fuck out quick and get to a house party, because there is nothing going on in any bar, or they are fine with it being the end. They can cool down on the cab ride home.

thats exactly how it works.

You need to piss us off to the point where we want to take the time to find you in the computer and write a note.

Also once in a while a good, common patron does something stupid, so we give them a 6 month ban. all done inside the computer and we can limit that info so it doesn't go out to other clubs. (happens to drug dealers all the time).

Good point! I do mostly mobile gigs, but this principle applies as well. Nobody wants to end on a down note, bu will at least be more responsive to the exit requests when they've just had a slammin' last dance song. Otherwise you get the "one more song..." chant.
Joshua Carl 12:15 AM - 20 February, 2013
thing to remember.
every gig is different.

its constant comparison of apples and oranges.

I like the wind-down for a open format residency.
last call at 130/145
when the bar stops serving (IE, there is NO MORE money to be made)
i try to ensure people are leaving singing a sing-a-long or something cheesy... or even
a very raunchy slow jam.... think: Just a Friend, Lean on me, or Flex

if its a guest spot, Ill go hard right until the lights are up and then drop a classic
(hiphop or dance)

you cannot apply the same rules to every single room because different places have different ways the night ends for what ever reasons.
when I used to play in Miami at 330 I HAD to switch to unmixed rock...and nothing too crazy... and not even pub-bangers... obscure, metal and music to drive people out.
Code:E 12:32 AM - 20 February, 2013
Just wanted to put it out there. I get in shit almost every week from one owner for playing past 2am Usually 2:06 I end at but that enough to piss of the cops and for them to come in the bar and try to start shit. He's not the guy i report to so he technically doesn't have any power over me. once the drinks stop pouring at 2am, most nights i like to drop some sing-a-long track or hot new slow jam, or just something I really love and don't really care if people like. I recent favourite it this one. Watchwww.youtube.com

When I first started doing video, some dude came and made three separate requests. All of them songs that had skits or terrible sound effects in them. Coincidence? I was convinced otherwise...

Bars closing at 2AM just seems so early, I usuually dont leave my house till at least midnight, then the whole house party thing afterwards, no afterhours spots out there?

I'm from belgium and here bars close usually at around 6am...

I'm guessing people just go eat earlier than here (the club usually is packed and going crazy only around 1am).

This wasn't even a request.
Did something last night that was basically just providing gear and running the system for a Jewish new year party, they were bringing an Ipod. The ipod had a 6.5 hour playlist for a 3 hour event, I was told just to put it on and let it run.

After a while some guy came up saying "oh we have to change the music, we want something happier" with his phone in hand. I told him to go speak to the organiser as I'd specifically been told to just let their playlist run. He went off to find them and never came back.
About an hour later, I was upstairs when I heard the screeching sound you get if you disconnect a cable on something that is turned up. I finally managed to get through all the people to find a completely different ipod hooked up. I was fairly pissed off that someone would just rip a cable out but let it go thinking it was probably just a simple mistake. Until I noticed the mixer was in the red, and the bass had been turned up.
So I stayed standing with the mixer when the guy from earlier came up and changed song, then tried reaching past me to get to the mixer. I pushed his hand out of the way and asked what he was doing. "It needs to be louder"
I told him not to touch the mixer again, plain and simple. Yet a few more times he kept trying to reach in front of me.

Stayed there for a bit and he didn't come back so I went to get a drink, the second I reached the bar I started hearing the bass dropping in and out and then suddenly the music was twice as loud. I ran up to the mixer, (which was completely in the red) and told him if he touched it again his ipod was going in the bin.

Didn't really have any issue after that but that really shouldn't have been so difficult. I'd hate to see the why hire companies gear would get used when there is nobody there to babysit it.

in regards to the ID scanning, most of the clubs here will scan your id and also take a picture of you. The database is shared between all the clubs that participate and if you're flagged for whatever the reason, you can be refused entry to the club.

I knew a dj who was flagged due to mistaken identity and he had a hell of a time trying to clear it.

The whole thing is a little too big brother to me and I would like to see data on how effective it is. I no longer do mainstream clubs in town (where most of the problems take place) so I can't really tell you if there are more or less problems than before...

at the same time... is any other city using scenetap.com or anything like it?

theres cameras and such set up at the doors. and while it doesent snap photos..
it uses face recognition to identify male vs female
(when u load the app it will tell you how many people are there, and the % break down)

places are already tricking it though...

Exactly why SceneTap is useless.

I stick to common knowledge:
If it says Lingerie Party, it's a sausage fest.
If it is Ladies night, the place is probably empty.
If it says 18+ to Party / 21+ to drink, do not go.

Canadian Liquor laws are way to strict to ever let anyone who could possibly be drinking be in the same area as underage people.

I would 30,000 person festival every summer in kelowna and the "beer garden" area (only place its legal to drink, is behind 2 rows of fence one 7 feet tall. On the side of the concert grounds. And you need to go though 2 rows of security every time you enter or exit. ID my be presented every time, even if you got your I'm +19 wrist band already. then you can't actually buy drinks, you can buy drink tickets which can be cashed in for drinks, you can only buy 2 at a time. The liquor board tells you how many lines you can have, which is never enough. and no drinks can be poured. They all must be pre mixed, So you buy rum and coke in a can. So its all beer or coolers and shitty jack and coke cans. All of this is mandated by law for us to even be able to operate a beer garden. And the garden capacity is only 10% of the venue capacity (the venue is a massive park that is fenced off, ticket are all sold out weeks or months in advance) Tickets start at $129.99 for the weekend and go up to $400 for ultra VIP.
This concept of underage people not drinking standing next to drinkers is awesome but would never happen in Canada.

um no I dont.

"come on your a dj! You should have every song ever. what kind of a dj are you"?

sorry I dont have all the while im thinking to myself that even if I did I still wouldn't play it but am trying to be nice

"thats bull shit. you cant just dj it from the juke box? I know you can"

me: long blank stare till until it became awkward

"your the worst fucking dj i ever meet, asshole"

me: security!

security: whats up bro?

me: you see that guy with the super tight hipster pants and cap from the 90s?

security: ok

me: well hes got to go. that guy just tried to grab my cock and ran off before I could do anything

What happens a lot too in those situations where you just have a few seconds because you're busy with a quick mix that needs a perfect timing a few songs in a row:

Just like at McDonald's, they wait until you lend them your ear and they ask you something but have no clue themselves what they want...

i think they come up to you when you're doing something major, like dropping a major song, switching genres, doing your signature routine - this gets thier attention. It's at this point they think it's a good idea to harass you while your in the middle of doing your shit. Did it not occur to them that it might not be the best time? For fucks sake, why do they have to do it when im in the middle of mixing niggas in paris to the harlem shake, when theres a thousand people on the DF. Can't they come at a more quiet time? When im obviously not so busy? These people are just selfish and ignorant.

NYE I got hired to DJ on a yacht for Commodore cruiselines. I was instructed by my client to play strictly top 40 with some hip-hop. I boarded in Alameda, set up all my equipment, and we made our way to San Francisco to pick up the guests (about 150 in all). Everyone got on, and everyone was already completely SH*TFACED. I must have had 2-3 people lined up to bug me for quite literally the entire night. Primarily people requesting Whitney Houston and Robyn (I played the Robyn). Then some heavy-set guy came up to me at the end of the night and asked me to play "Pursuit of Happiness" by Kid Cudi (super down-tempo and depressing). I told him I couldn't, he looked like he was about to kill himself. Felt terrible.

Got a lot of compliments and an awesome yelp review out of it (and 500 bucks). Funny thing was I got this gig 3 days after purchasing a whole new $7,000 setup after being out of the industry for three years. The days leading up to the event were nerve-wrecking.

He probably meant the steve aoki remix...which was on project x ...Dropped it peak hour many times

^ Same, I like to play the first verse and chorus of Day n Nite, then drop in the aoki remix of pursuit of happiness, theyre almost the same key so it sounds great

^^ Also remember NYE is amature night - there will normally be lot's of requests for stuff like Whitney, Prince, Madonna, etc...
Papa Midnight 2:54 PM - 11 March, 2013
Not necessarily. If I recall, Whitney had died not long prior; and for some reason, people who don't give a damn about an artist want to hear that artist every 5 minutes in the weeks after they die.

I myself got plenty of request for Beastie Boys after MCA (Adam Yauch) died. I actually had a challenge for this one: I told anyone who requested Beastie Boys to tell me the name of the guy who died. His real name? People couldn't even tell me his stage name. I only had to play it once.

I got request out the ass for Heavy D and the Boys. "Now that we found love" was pretty popular among request. It still never happened at any parties... though I did play it once during the opening to a college basketball game...

I lost count of the request for Whitney Houston to the point that I flat out told someone I was not going to stop a party to play "I'm every woman". To be honest, when he persisted even calling out from the floor "THIS IS NOT WHITNEY HOUSTON", I stopped just short of telling him to sod off.

Does that make me wrong? Frankly, I don't think so. Had I played "So What'cha Want?" a week before, I would've been clowned to hell. Now that someone has died, it's ok to play this? Hell, outside of last week, I can barely get a Biggie song in - especially with younger crowds.
DJ DisGrace 3:41 PM - 11 March, 2013
I would say Heavy D, Beastie Boys, and Whitney should all be in fairly regular rotation if you play any old school at all....

This last saturday at a rather popular place in the centre of Brussels, I got asked by a group of girls to play some Rihanna from her last album.

So I did and played:

- Nobody's Business
- Diamonds (a nice party remix)

Then another girl from that same group comes to me, and asks (with an annoyed voice and attitude):

"Can you please play some Rihanna like my friends asked earlier...?"

Me (amused by the fact she was a total dumbass for asking like that):

"Sure, any specific song?"

Her: "I don't know, just play some Rihanna, any song..."

Me: "Oooookay.... so you don't know which one you want to hear? Cuz, you know i've already played a few songs from Rihanna and..."

She interrupts me and gives me this look as if i had been mean to her and says "Just anything... I don't know... pffff"

So, for a change, instead of just ignoring the stupid request... I thought "WHY NOT ?"and just went for it and played a LOT of Rihanna songs... and after a few hours of mix I had played the following songs :

- Don't Stop The Music
- Only Girl
- Disturbia
- We found love
- Man Down
- Umbrella (some remix)
- Diamonds (Again)
- Right Now
- Where have you been
- S&M
- What's my name

(not in that specific order and not all one after another, I of course played a lot of other artists' music, other genres)

Good thing about this is that everybody in the place enjoyed it since she's rather popular and has music in many different genres

(at this point me and the other Dj were just cracking jokes about all the Rihanna songs I had played....)

And this is where the story gets interesting...

Same group, different girl walks up to me, and politely asks if she can request "a song"

Me: "maybe, depends on the song...?"

Her: "can you play some Rihanna...?"

Me (gazed at her for a few seconds with the biggest smile ever): "seriously?"

Her: "Yeah, my friends want to hear some Rihanna..."

Me: "name one song from Rihanna you want to hear AND that I have NOT played yet..."

Her: "what do you mean?"

Me: "never mind..."

Her: "are you going to play some Rihanna ?"

Me: "yeah sure"

Her: "thanks"

Didn't play any more Rihanna that night... and when she left she looked very disappointed.

I was thinking to myself, jesus christ, that group has been here since the beginning of the night, don't tell me they didn't hear all the songs I played, that's technically impossible...

Sometimes I wonder if it's the alcohol, or if people are just getting more retarded by the day...
Joshua Carl 4:53 PM - 11 March, 2013
its potentially playing with fire... so i dont do it all the time.

but occasionally ill pull up my history and show them the song and artist, what time i played it...

its a 50/50 chance they'll concede they are a dumbass.
on the other side of the coin, they might want to browse your computer, and you have just let them into the booth...

so, buyer beware on that method.
Ingo B 5:05 PM - 11 March, 2013
I never let anyone in the booth anymore. Few years ago, this very attractive chick was openly flirting. I let her in. She proceeded to hang all over me while I was spinning then knocked over my ext hard drive.

Take it from me, use your head (the one containing the brain) when it comes to these things.
Frankie Glasses 5:42 PM - 11 March, 2013

me: come back when you think of something
wardie 5:45 PM - 11 March, 2013
I actually semi-retired from DJing in 2010 b/c once I let this (really hot) girl into the booth.

After she left I went to pee. While I was in the bathroom there was literally a record scratch moment. I ran back to the decks and found the girl (who had come back into the booth on her own) pathetically attempting to change the record (on the same deck she had stopped...) I righted the situation w/ the music then asked her to leave the booth ASAP.

She pretty much refused and then got really loud and I had to escort her out. At which point she started screaming bloody murder like I was assaulting her or something. She was very drunk. It was a really bad situation.

Needless to say, I was a little shaken up by the experience and took a solid year off from DJing b/c of it.

PS I kno that I should have gotten management/security to escort her out but in the heat of the moment I wasn't thinking clearly/just wanted her gone ASAP.

Oh shit son..... Fuck geting security. I have booted a bitch out myself before.

You shouldn't let that get too you. The story's on this thread are proof it happens all the time. If i took a year off every time i got in a fight with some dump hoe i would not be DJing ever.

My story from this weekend: Copied from my facebook, but edited to give you DJ's more context.

Some bitch comes up to me tonight and requests a track I full intention on playing in about 15 min (ASAP Rocky - Fucking Problem(he's performing here in a couple of weeks). I tell her this and put my headphones back on. She then motions like she wants to say something again (I am just about to mix so I dont have a lot of time). And asks can you play it now, I say NO (its 96 bpm & I'm at 128)(my dance floor is packed and people are cheering). She then tell me "this music sucks, you are making it a shitty vibe, change it now" I promptly put my middle finger in her face(about 1/2 from her nose). I wish I had a camera out for her reaction. Fucking bitch, I don't tell you how to do your job, don't tell me. /endrant Hope everyone else had i great night besides that I had an amazing night


I am sick and tired of dumb people telling me how to do my job. Luckily and I'm not sure why this bitch didn't get under my skin as so many had before. I can only come to the conclusion that the release i got from giving her my own version of sign language allowed me to keep my head in the game and i went on to kill it the rest of the night.

I think I'm going to make that my goto response when this situation arises again.

I don't disagree. I'm just saying that if you're at a club where the typical audience is looking for Dirty South music, if you even try to play so much as The Notorious B.I.G., you'll get stared at unless it's in the range of March 9.
Jesus Christ 10:36 PM - 11 March, 2013
I've had the pushy girls trying to tell me what to play and when to play it 100s of times. One time back in 2009, I had a very bossy 20-something who thought her shit didn't stink come up and "tell" me to play (insert hot top-40 songe of the day here) "now!" I immeditely ignored her request and gave her a thumbs-up and a wink. She did this 4 times in the span of an hour, and the 4th time she grabbed my arm and said "Hey, I said play (song) now!!!!"

The look I gave her was the same look I gave the guy who raped my 16 year old niece. I hit the stop button on the playing deck, grabbed the mic and said "Yo! I'm the DJ. You're the customer! Stop coming to my booth and telling me what to play and when to play it! I don't fuck with you at your work! You don't see me kicking in a motel room door and telling you how and when to suck a dick! Now get the fuck outta here!" I then dropped Kick In the Door by Biggie! The place went apeshit and I never saw her again.

If they ask nicely, I will reply nicely and tell them that I will or can't play their request. There aren't a lot of songs that I won't play. But if they're a cockholster about it, I will treat them accordingly.

Pretty much the vibe that night! The place was packed and everyone but this chick was having a good time. After that episode, it seems like people were having even more fun. Sometimes you have to lay down the law!

I got a big fundraiser going on Sat night at a high school. Fashion show, chorus concert, laser show, DJ, and MC all rolled into one big bundle. The thing is so disorganized, it's not even funny. Everybody wants something different and nobody gave me any advanced notice. It was all last minute stuff.

So I'm trying to get a second mic up to the chorus director, hook up the lasers, and announce the sponsors for the night when this dude (don't know if he was in high school or just came out for the fundraiser) starts tapping me on the shoulder. "Sir" "Sir" " Can you play The Harlem Shake?

WTF? I asked him "Can't you see I'm busy? I don't even start the DJ set for another 30 minutes. " Dude just walks off..

About half way through the set, I throw in the damn Harlem Shake. This guy bolts out of the bathroom (I swear he pinched it off mid-stream for this) and goes crazy on the dance floor. He must have really wanted to act retarded for about 3 minutes of his life that night. He let loose!

secondly I'm not even DJing

I will generally try to play requests if I can make them work with the mix but there are just some people who get more obnoxious the nicer you try to be. Back in the day, I would keep some crappy record pool records in a special place in the bins. After the third or fourth time of someone coming up and being obnoxious I would say " OK, here is your song", take one of the record pool records, and snap it in half right in their face. The usual reaction was wide-eyed stunned silence, and them going away for the rest fo the night.

I got so sick of playing Eiffel 65 - I'm Blue back in the day that I put it in the oven and made a bowl shaped ashtray out it. Crimps on the side to hold butts and all. When someone requested it I'd hand them the stinky ashtray full of butts, and tell them I'd play it if they could fix the vinyl.

I'm playing at my resident gig last saturday to very mixed crowd. The owners do not want any hood music or 'electro.' It's a picky spot but we do like 300+ in this bar.

So I'm playing open format to start off the night and immediatly get requests for 2chainz, Lil Wayne, etc from an unattractive couple.. I explain that I can't play it here and I keep it moving. 2 minutes later the couple is back with "what can you play?" I tell them pop music from all eras.

Anyways to make a long story short they are nit picking every song, up making requests every 5 minutes... "If you can play that song (whatever I just played) then u can play my song." Blah, blah, blah...

This goes on for an hour with this odd couple who apparently thought they were the only people in the room.

Eventually the guy comes up and says, "Play some grateful dead... what about Bob Marley." Again, I blow him off because I'm in the middle of a Top 40 set. He says, "How long have you been doing this?" I reply a few years or so.... Get what this mofo says next...

"Well you need to step your game up. My cousin has been doing this for 6 months and has every song you can imagine."

I just shake my head and say "It's not about how many songs you have." The dude is like pfffft "The hell it ain't, he's better than you" as he's walking off.

If I had a beer bottle I would've hit him in the back of the head as he walked off lol

Not gonna lie, that would've made me heated, and probably fucked the rest of my night up.

You have to have a thick skin.

A few Saturdays ago at my res, a regular (has his own seat at the bar) starts complaining I'm not playing anything "everyone" can enjoy, while strangely, I see more of everyone bouncing in their seats that normal, all the while he's bitching over other customers heads while standing behind them.

After he stops, I have a couple people in front of me comment on how I took it, and I said it's not the first, nor will it be the last time it happens, but I was pretty pissed off, it also didn't help that I had a pretty bad head cold, blocked ears the whole nine.

Jump forward to 2 nights ago, I went and had dinner there, and of course he's there, surprisingly he apologized. That actually made the rest of my night.

A few weeks back I had a gem.
Playing a casino where they like us to Stick to clean version And top40/classic party tracks...

My spidery sense went bezerk
I saw them walk in (remember most casinos outside of Vegas are not "lets get dressed and go out" places

But in walks a Sam Elliot mustache having; Dirty Dale Earnhardt shirt wearing mountain man...
It's in full blown wedding mode at that moment... MJ, EW&F, BBD, Trchnotronic...
We all know "that set"

Him and his girl, whom I wish I could describe but I was in such a trance from the mustache and sun bleached face I was actually saying to myself..."yes...here it comes... This is goin to be great"

"Hey boy, you take requests" while dancing a Whiteman's overbite dance like no other"

"Of course partner, what cha'll got in mind?"

Stops dancing, comes up all serious.
How bout some Merle Haggard or Conway Twitty
(What's funny is I play Conway Twitty , usually to end a night...using that family guy sketch lead in)

I said I don't have any of that and ||STOP||

Mid sentence he put his middle finger about 8 inches from my nose and stands there.

We all know, you have 2 choices .
Knowing the place has good security I ignored his finger with a big shit eating grin right back at him.
Knowing that he'd get agitated and stay there or escalate it.
He decided to stay.
Which was 4 seconds too long as Michael Clarke Duncan's stunt double made his presence known and pointed to the door.

As he walked away finger still up, the people right there dancing started clapping an he yelled something. I'm sure it was well thought out and terrifically southern.
(I love my southern friends, but you guys have some real gems! I know I know, we got our own breed of Yankee asshole too! Lol)

I'm playing at my resident gig last saturday to very mixed crowd. The owners do not want any hood music or 'electro.' It's a picky spot but we do like 300+ in this bar.

So I'm playing open format to start off the night and immediatly get requests for 2chainz, Lil Wayne, etc from an unattractive couple.. I explain that I can't play it here and I keep it moving. 2 minutes later the couple is back with "what can you play?" I tell them pop music from all eras.

Anyways to yada yada yada....

"Well you need to step your game up. My cousin has been doing this for 6 months and has every song you can imagine."

I just shake my head and say "It's not about how many songs you have." The dude is like pfffft "The hell it ain't, he's better than you" as he's walking off.

If I had a beer bottle I would've hit him in the back of the head as he walked off lol



Not gonna lie, that would've made me heated, and probably fucked the rest of my night up.

You have to have a thick skin.

A few Saturdays ago at my res, a regular (has his own seat at the bar) starts complaining I'm not playing anything "everyone" can enjoy, while strangely, I see more of everyone bouncing in their seats that normal, all the while he's bitching over other customers heads while standing behind them.

After he stops, I have a couple people in front of me comment on how I took it, and I said it's not the first, nor will it be the last time it happens, but I was pretty pissed off, it also didn't help that I had a pretty bad head cold, blocked ears the whole nine.

Jump forward to 2 nights ago, I went and had dinner there, and of course he's there, surprisingly he apologized. That actually made the rest of my night.


Actually I have a very short fuse and have actually got into a few skirmishes with customers/hecklers.. This dude was complete trash and a waste of time.

The owners of this bar are the type that really know what they are doing so I don't want to mess the relationship for my whole crew.

Really, you just can't make everyone happy and there's always one douchebag in the crowd.... But you guys are right - compliments outweigh the heckling for me on the regular. That one compliment or extra $ tip makes it all worth the while.

Soooooo f'n true, i was doin a show a few weeks ago, really small spot(like 50 people) on a tues with like 5 other djs, im the only one on the list who isnt a regular for this group. So the first 2 or 3 djs play all underground trap and dub, great tunes but noones dancin everyones just sittn around or in the parkin lot. I get on and decide to switch it up and played alot more electro and old school funky breaks, by the end of my set 100% of the people are on the dancefloor. Im thinkin hell ya good job me! As we are switching over to the next dj i turn down the music and this chick who looks like shes waiting to see the clash screams out something along the lines of make it stop, i still dont know what she said exactly and it wouldnt have even registered if the dj setting up didnt yell back "bitch ya i bet he apprectiated that". So now im like wait what just happened, so im puttin my laptop up and the girl comes up to me and says "im sorry about that im sooooo fucked up i cant see straight" i just play it off like sorry for what im confused. I get off stage and all of the djs and allll of the crowd are telling me i rocked it, i have a couple people book me for future shows......but for the rest of the night into the next day the ONLY thing i could think of was what did that bitch yell and if everyone else was jus bein nice cause i suck lol

This past saturday, I'm next to the other Dj who's just about to finish his set as I'm about to take over, when this girl comes up to the booth and just screams her request:

"Merengueeeee"

The other DJ stopped moving, and just gave her this "eyes-wide-open-straight-face" stare and didn't say a word...

The reaction on the girls' face was just priceless...

She just stopped dancing after a few seconds, and seeing he was still not moving, she walked off the podium (which is right in front of the Dj booth) and never came back.

The same thing happened a few years at a birthday party where they wanted house/dance music from the 80s. The birthday girl was intoxicated/irrating and began to complain about the music I was playing while her guests were dancing and having a great time. I got many compliments that nite but none came from her.

Did a wedding for a mixed couple (black and white). Got their requests in weeks before the wedding but the the groom (white) didn't send any. I'm like aiight, that's cool. Doing the wedding and the groom literally looked like Pherb (from the cartoon). Nearing the end of the reception I see him walking over to me. I'm like, "ok, here we go". I was playing some country, top 40 and classic pop the entire night. He comes over and says, "yo you got any Hip-Hop". I'm like yeah, what you want? Jayz, Tupac, Big, Weezy, Drake? Dude busted out, "nah, not that $h*t. You got any Pharcyde, Nas, Black Moon, Group Home, De La, EPMD, dudes like that?" I almost busted a nut! I'm like wtf dude knows about these groups. I threw on a true school Hip-Hop set and dude knew ALL the words to most of the songs I played. Half the chicks threw off their heels and was forming cypheresque circles and $h*t. Even tried to throw him off with some Souls of Mischief, Lord Finesse, J-Dilla but dude was right there with me! One of the weirdest but best requests I've ever gotten

I had a calculator in front of me...

Songs per hour = 148
Max time each song could play for- 2.46 Seconds
Amount of confused guests = 100%

There's been a few times I've been handed lists in excess of 200 songs. It usually is 18th parties where the birthday girl (it's ALWAYS a girl) seems to think that I won't have all the music in her 'unique' taste.
List comes through featuring every pitbull, chris brown, guetta and rihanna song. Plus her 'adventurous' tracks with such crazy options like...the spice girls.

Sad but true that they really think they've got a unique taste in music.

Thing is, though, for those young girls - sitting around coming up with every song they can think of is part of the fun for them. I never try to play every song on a given list - I pick which ones would be the best for the event and keep the rest on standby in case there is that "must play" song.

That i think is the best way todo it. Or if you dont need to keep the tracks around and they only give you like 20 to play jI just add them to my prepared folder then once you play them they go away and you dont have to keep looking at them


On a side note how many of you guys clear your history at the start of each gig? I need love knowing what tracks i have played in a night, it helps me out a lot to ignore the green ones and only look for white ones. But i see a ton of DJ's who have EVERY track green, so they have never cleared there history.

And another one I had this last weekend, I was requested to play some Oriental music (it was towards the end of the night, and here in Belgium there are a few oriental songs that everybody likes, so I proceed and play like 3 or 4 of these tracks, everybody's happy.

So this girl (of oriental origin) walks to me and is all like : "fuck i missed all the oriental songs, can you play some more ?"

me: "I don't have a lot of those and I basically played all of them..."
her: "fuck it, play some more, I didn't hear them"
me (always a gentlemen, even with bitches like this one): "maybe I have one more I could play, but not directly, I'll play it in about 20-30 minutes (I had some requests pending and wanted to play those first)

Her: "Ok I'll wait here until you play it !"
Me: "I promise you that I won't play your request as long as you stay next to me..."
Her: "ok I'll wait over there then"

I turn back to my laptop and then she asks me my first name...

Me: "Chris"
Her: "I'm Myriam, pleased to meet you"
Me (without looking at her): "right, can you please go wait somewhere else please ?
Her: Ok

20 minutes later, I'm about to play her request and she comes to me

Her: "When are you going to play some oriental music?"
Me: "Right after this song actually, 1 minute left"
Her: "Oh shit, wait until i'm back, I gotta go pee"

I was like what the fuck ? But still, as the gentleman I am, I waited...

Then she finally comes out of the toilet, I play her request....

She stands next to this other oriental chick that dances really well, belly dance and all that, so all the guys were looking at her, and she was like really disapointed that she couldn't have her own 15 minutes of fame... (which would have been 4 minutes of shame actually)

and again, 15 minutes later she comes to me:

Her: "Why didn't you play oriental music yet?"
Me: "I did"
Her: "no you didn't"
Me: "yes I did, and I even saw you NOT dancing right next to this other girl that danced pretty well..."
Her: if you don't like oriental music, just tell me, you don't need to be mean to me
Me: (to get rid of the pointless discussion) : "that's it, i don't like oriental music"

Her: "Fuck this place, i'm so sick of racist people !"

To this point i'm hesitating between telling her the truth of my evil being, or just let it be and tell her to leave the place. But as racism isn't a nice thing, i told her the truth about me:

"Look, i've played your request, you didn't dance, now i'm not going to play more music you are not going to dance to, and that nobody will dance to, i've played many songs, and can't play anything else that's oriental, sorry. If that means i'm being racist towards oriental people, please know that my girlfriends name and origin are exactly the same as yours (which is the honest truth), so NO i'm not racist...

Her: "is she cute ?"
Me: "of course, she's my princess"
Her: "look at me, i'm cute too, right ?"
She then puts this ugliest grimm on her face to (probably) troll me

Me: "Can you please leave me alone, I'm trying to work here"
Her: "Right, i know i'm cute, screw you racist bastard"

Really, what in the world is wrong with people ?

This is politically correct. "oriental" means 'exotic' thing from the east in relation to Europe. "Asian" means a person(s) from an Asian country/lineage, or of said person(s).

This is politically correct. "oriental" means 'exotic' thing from the east in relation to Europe. "Asian" means a person(s) from an Asian country/lineage, or of said person(s).


Actually when we (here in western europe) say "oriental" we mean from the orient, which are actually the northern african countries, which mean, basically the arab countries like Morocco, Algeria, Tunesia, United Arab Emirates, ...

And as most arabs in Belgium are from Morocco, it's basically Moroccan music they mean when they speak of oriental music (some also come from Tunesia, but most oriental people in belgium come from Morocco)

That was your geography lesson of the day folks :)

and if you want to know what kind of music they mean, here are a few examples of the most played oriental songs here in belgium:

Watchwww.youtube.com

Watchwww.youtube.com

This one is also with some Gipsy musicians (Gipsy Kings), but as from the second verse it's sung in arab language:

I never get asked for "oriental" music. But I do get asked for "Brown Music". Pretty sure thats not politically correct, but when it comes from a guy who is "brown" I think its ok.

LOL....I had the same thing happen to me last weekend! I did a wedding and booked based off of a wedding I did last year. The couple was very hands off: no special dances, no special song, no formalities, just play music. What kind? Latin and old country. I asked what kind, "oh you know, some good rhythm".

We are in Tx and for me, it's more than likely Tejano or Cumbia Sonidero. Anyway, I'm playing mostly country, disco and then some guy asks for Salsa. Light goes on in my head, OK! Hardly any dancers to this point, but when I dropped Merengue.....IT GOT PACKED. So by the end of the night, I figured out they were Cuban! Salsa, merengue, fulanito, and bachata.

Believe me guys, I asked several times. I sent them helpful docs so they could list the stuff and got nothing back. Thank God, I finally hit the right "area!!!! Not all "Brown music" is the same, JA JA JA!!!

according to the bpm detector in my head, aka memory of the song and best guess for bpm, it's about 60-65 bpm. you could've pitched it a bit, thrown the hook over an instrumental electro track in the same key and cut it up a bit... win-win. or you could've just told him to gtfoohwtbs, what are you trying to kill my dancefloor? which is what i prob would've done lol

TheMasterOfCeremony 4:56 PM - 27 March, 2013
End of the night, music is now being played by the bartender, so I can unplug my gear (in this specific place I bring my own mixer & turntables).

Overly wasted guy walks up to me and asks:

"Are you the DJ ?"

Me being the only guy standing IN the deejay booth, point out my girlfriend who was sitting right OUTSIDE the booth and answer:

"Nah, i'm the roadie, i'm packing up her stuff, she's the DJ, if you have any requests it's too late though, we're packing..."

Guy walks to her and asks her to play some really good music NOW, because he needs to dance with this girl he's trying to bring home.

My GF tells him sorry, but the night is over, if he wants to request he's gotta come back another day...

The guy was really disappointed and never got to know how badly I brainfucked him...

I'm telling you, alcohol just kiils your braincells, seriously.

I did an opening and closing set with a dj band as a headliner. No one said a thing most of the night, just doing what I do.

The "headliner" group finishes up unexpectedly 45 mins early and I scramble back to my dj booth when a young lady appears and says "Hey, do you take requests". Yes sure. "Can you play a song from the group that just played?". I don't have any of their music. "Can you play it from my cloud". Sorry my equipment doesn't play from clouds.

One I got 2 weeks ago at the bar I was playing that night. Playing Top40, and all the recent stuff, keeping a good vibe going, and this young girl, freshly 21, still wet behind the ears, comes up," Can you play some cool music?" Me, "Okay, like what?" Her, "I don't know, something cool." Me, "Okay, got it" BOOM! The Chicken Dance. And I made damn sure EVERYONE knew that she had requested it...

I really really lost my cool for the first time on somebody last night, maybe it was more of not taking her shit, but I just really didn't give a shit what she thought of me. Kind of talked back at her shitty requests that I "PLAY REGGAE RIGHT NOW" at 10:15 because "BITCHES WANT TO HEAR SOME FUCK ME SHIT" I would've played some, and as a matter of fact, played a pretty killer reggae set(s) last night.

I'm not going to lie, it felt pretty good just to be like "How long have you been a DJ here?" and when she said: "I don't DJ" I said "Good, then shut the fuck up and leave me alone!"

I guess this is the complete opposite of what this thread is about, but I just got reminded of it by another thread.

My brother was DJing a high school formal (Australian version of prom I guess) while I was visiting, so I tagged along. In which case I usually field the requests so they don't bug him while he is working.
In this case as part of the intro he actually said "if you have a request, come see me.....but I will not play ANY dubstep requests, so if that's what you want, don't bother"

I was amazed to hear him offer requests, but couldn't stop laughing on hearing the second bit.

LOL. had a similar thing happen at a wedding. I was dog tired after being with bride/groom all day for their ceremony and moving equipment about 4 times. It was midnight and I was playing the "last song." Some chic comes up and asks how much I would charge to stay for another hour. I told her $100... thinking she would never go for it. Sure enough - by the end of the song she had cash in hand. CRAP - another hour it is. I was so beat after that one, but the money made it worth the effort. Still had a long drive home though. ;)

TheMasterOfCeremony 3:03 PM - 9 April, 2013
The worst thing is when they request a good song, but at a moment you can't play it (if you don't want the whole crowd to gaze at you in a very akward way that is).

You try to explain why you can't play it NOW, but will play it later, then they start arguing about how good the song is and why you should play it now (insert common reason here: "i'm leaving soon", "it's my/my friends' birthday", "you'll see, everybody will dance" while crowd is mad crazy on the dancefloor already)

People just don't understand that you can't play old school hip hop right in the middle of a electro-dance set, and vice-versa for instance...

I still don't understand how un-musical some people can be...

Worst case you could try to use a nice "transition remix" that would go from 130 BPM to 90 BPM or the other way around... but still, if the song doesn't work at that moment, you won't want to play it just to please one person and have everybody else on your back.

Still they keep on bitching about having it now.

I don't go harrassing them at their job, and mainly the reason they do it to us DJ's is because most people don't consider "Deejaying" as a JOB. They just consider you're their bitch... then say: "yeah but it's your passion, it's not a real job"...

This needs to stop ! We need to make them understand it IS a JOB, maybe they'll then understand a bit better why we can't just play anything at any given moment.

Maybe they'd start understanding how hard it can be sometimes to have to endure all their bitching for no valuable reason !

Ask them if they get paid $200 an hour at their job... If so then ask how many people bug them while they are working.

If they dont get paid that much, than ask them why you get paid more for your passion than they do at their job.

My x said that i could never make a living being a DJ because i like it too much. I said WTF, it pays the bills, food, and mortgage... so...

She said you cant enjoy your job as much as i like to DJ.

ummmmmmmm... I told her that most people would love to do what they love to do and get paid for it.

When I get the "do you take requests?' I'll just reply with a "possibly, what did you want?"....then if I don't want to play it just tell them I don't have it.

+ if I DJ 2 days in a weekend i more than doubled my weekly pay. That is what really sucks to think about...

What im saying is your asking people if they make $200 an hour....durring tje week while your BOTH at work neither are you...if you asked me if i made $200 an hour id ask u why you had to work two jobs lol

Sorry you lost me on that. I work 2 jobs because I dont have 2 or more gigs per week 52 weeks a year, and I have a family to support, so I need a steady income and insurance.

My wife is a stay at home mom.

I got it... but the thing though, is that when someone comes up and makes a request, I am getting paid at least $200 per hour. So that is the job that in my mind qualifies.

Yes but like you said you work two gigs a week, lets say you do that every week for a year (which you already said you dont) at the end of the year you made 43,000. People who make 43,000 in most jobs arent they highly trained ones making power moves,usually their deleverin mail or serving sandwiches lol

LOL. had a similar thing happen at a wedding. I was dog tired after being with bride/groom all day for their ceremony and moving equipment about 4 times. It was midnight and I was playing the "last song." Some chic comes up and asks how much I would charge to stay for another hour. I told her $100... thinking she would never go for it. Sure enough - by the end of the song she had cash in hand. CRAP - another hour it is. I was so beat after that one, but the money made it worth the effort. Still had a long drive home though. ;)

We don't always think these things through all the way.


I had a similar one except I was hungover from the night before and dog tired from carrying equipment upstairs. i played the extra hour and then they wanted another hour. I almost said no, but then I told myself to 'man the f#ck up'. I got lucky only ended up playing for 20 minutes on the second extra hour.

Pauly D makes a lot more than you do per hour... and he SUCKS as a DJ. How much you make means shit, IMHO. If you have more than 2-3 requests per night, you're not reading your crowd or the promoter hired the wrong format DJ for the gig. Simply thanking the guest for their request and letting them know that you will try to fit it in your set should do the trick. Having a paycheck pissing match with people making requests is a bad situation waiting to happen. At my job, I meet clients on a daily basis that make WELL over $200 an hour. You're just begging to meet one of them one day and have them buy the bar you're spinning at, just to fire you! (nm)

Ehhh i wouldnt go that far. U dont do gigs where requests are even an option anymore but when i was requests were more of a reflection of todays society, you have the people who walk in the door and head straaaaight to the booth to demand their song, you have the people who dont even belong there who want the entire atmosphere of the club to suit them, you have the people who only know 6 songs and are mad your not playin all 6 as soon as the club opens, theunderground kid who thinks yourwak for playing shit people know ectect.

wow... I actually agree here.

I've even been that guy. I won't make request of another DJ usually unless it fits into their format that they've been playing and even then it's rare. But I've been that guy who's been to clubs with friends and really just not felt it.

Likewise, I've watched where people have done this exact stuff but even worse:

The one girl who gets dragged with her friends or a friend to a party she doesn't want to go to so she gives the DJ hell, and/or every damn guy in the club who may want to dance with her friend. Cockblocker to the extreme as well.

The one girl where it's ALWAYS her birthday.

The one dude who wants you to give his boy a birthday shoutout.

The person who knows what EVERYONE wants to hear.

The person who thinks this shit is whack and you need to play some [insert song no one will dance to here]. Usually a dude.

The person who walks in the door, orders a bottle, grabs a table, and comes straight for you with a list of request (I shit you not).

You all know the rest.

I had some olllllld ass woman (would've been in her 60's when the average age at the club is 25) demand I play michael jackson. The problem, this was at 7.30 when I was playing the most chillout shit I could possibly play. It woulddve been fine later on.

Because I refused, she went and complained to the manager.
Man I hate that. I work at one of those venues where customer service is EVERYTHING and they HATE hearing complaints regardless. Its really annoying because im doing my job the best I can but I have people going to management and trying to bring me down, risking my job.

Me: cool, what song? (don't want to be a C-blocker).
Dude: man stays quite. just standing there, thinking.
Me: Wassup man, what you got......
Dude: 5 min later.
Dude: yeah just play any song, and walks away.

WTF i was cracking up for a good min, i guess he forgot the song he/she wanted . i didn't want to be a dick so i played some Flirts, danger. i kept the floor packed, and snuck some old school into the mix. made it work..

Eric N 5:42 PM - 12 April, 2013
Still... if you can move it all to the front seats and clear enough space for a mattress, doesn't that further prove the point (that you have more space than you need)?

Jussayin... if it's only every so often that you need to crash in the ride, would it not be more economical to drive a smaller vehicle that everything still fits in, and sleep in the seat if you have to? Gas in a van > gas in a small wagon/big hatchback etc.

To each his own though!

I usually do show them my Android phone as the reason I don't have one, I wouldn't bother making a comment like that because really...mid-set I don't exactly want an Iphone vs android debate.

As much as I hate running out of battery when I'm out (for calling cabs and such)...seems sad that people are out in a club and their main concern is their battery going flat.

I had to LOL at that one. The bar I used to spin at starts as a "Grown & Sexy" Steppers joint and then I shift to a 30 & up Urban format that "gets loose" as the night progressed.

My older bouncer dude (Black guy - late 40's) asks for stuff like Paranoid - Kanye West and Goyote - Someone I Used to Know - shit I wouldn't play even IF i was spinning that format - lol.

I did accommodate him sometimes coming out of a slow song, floor flip, or tempo change - played it for a brief minute. It flexed my DJ skills - playing that bullshit and trying to get the floor jumping again.

Whenever I get a request like that and decide to play it, I always have my mouse sitting over the track I'll play after it. Just so it can be on deck and mixed in seconds if the song I'm not sure about goes down badly. Although a lot of the time I do get surprised just how much a song I wouldn't expect any response from does go well and I end up letting it play a bit further.
TheMasterOfCeremony 12:40 PM - 17 April, 2013
Last weekend, right in the middle of a Dance/house set, strobe and lights going crazy, dancefloor packed and jumping.

Guy comes to me:

Him: Can you play some Miguel ?

Me: maybe later, which song?

Him: Adorn (for those who don't know it, it's like a really slow & chill kind of song)

Me: Sorry, but I can't play that here, it's too calm.

Him: ok I'll come with another request.

at this point i'm thinking, damn, please don't come back, and as promised a few mins later:

Him: how about Poney from Genuwine

Me; sure, but way later, like at the end of the night, it's too slow, again

Him: but it's a classic tune man

Me: so is Whitney Houston's "I will always love you", do you understand what i mean... ?

Him: (grimmy face, then smiles) ok

..
..

Comes back 20 minutes later, when i'm playing some new hip hop tunes, people still jumping on the floor...

Him: how bout my song now ?

Me: Eeeerrrr, nah

Him: dissapointed look and leaves the club


some people just don't understand

You could probably get away with pony if you mixed it right, even in that context, just quickly if you had the floor going well and were ready to change it up a bit.

+100, Pony almost always works. It's also a great track to use to get back down to 75 bpm, I usually mix it half time once I'm up at 140+bpm and want to rotate the floor.
Joshua Carl 3:53 PM - 17 April, 2013
I generally cringe going to the 66-74 BPM range.
Thank god a lot of those tracks hava acapellas
I flip a pony acapella-out edit over some trappy remixes, or that ranges hiphop to usually happy faces
Laz219 4:23 PM - 17 April, 2013
I'm a bit the same these days, feel almost trapped in certain BPMs because there is just nothing +/- 6-10bpm within the lower ranges that will work for excessively mainstream crowds, although with that crowd...they don't really notice when you slam- as long as it's whatever the radio trash at the time is.

There's also a cool uptempo booty remix (X-MIx, I think), uses samples from Moments in Love, that works really well.

My older bouncer dude (Black guy - late 40's) asks for stuff like Paranoid - Kanye West and Goyote - Someone I Used to Know - shit I wouldn't play even IF i was spinning that format - lol.


Hmm, those both seem like decent examples of what I'd call "danceable recurrent top-40 songs" that would appeal to an older crowd. I'm sick to death of the Gotye song (and it's too bad none of his other songs have taken off), but they're still playing it on radio and there's tons of playable remixes.

At one place I'm at regularly where they cater to an "adult" crowd, I just have to resign myself to the fact that most of the people there are "behind" on music and are still into songs a younger crowd might find "tired". They still like "American Boy" ferchrissake LOL.

This. I swear its like this everywhere in Cincinnati / Ohio. Normally, these are the same places that try to use dress codes to "keep out trouble".

These kats started fighting during earth, wind, and fire's "September". Come on - really? Hip hop playing and a fight breaks? Its the music. 129 bpm and one breaks? Nothing.

Oh I really came to share my moment last weekend - 1:10 am and I'm going T.I "ball" out of T-Pain "take your shirt off" - dude comes up while people are rocking hard

"Dude, can I make a request?!"

You can. But if it doesn't work with what I'm doing, it won't happen.

"Will you play it wasn't me by Shaggy?!"

I didn't have to tell him no -the surrounding group of people just died laughing at this guy - he looks at my face of "no" and just left into the crowd with the quickness.

I swear, people would fight to "All You Need Is Love" by The Beatles if they were drunk enough and someone stepped on a shoe (yes, people still fight over this crap).
Joshua Carl 5:00 PM - 18 April, 2013
the thing thats always rubbed me the wrong was is "open format but dont play any hiphop"

sometimes they only "mean" nothing too not familiar too mixed crowd.
IE, MC Ren's Kiss My black azz or perhaps some B-side Rick Ross might not go over well with Mgmt or Ownership.
but surely the current trend of crossover hip-POP is just dandy.

I have one spot, new owners.
night one with them, Pre-set meeting. OK, no hiphop. none. zero, zilch
-what about monell jordan, eve, usher? shit like that?
well, just in very small slices...
--
so its slow the entire night, and people are asking for not too deep hiphop (think Ayy Ladies, Faded, Whos Booty) and im getting the expected reaction.
the b-boys that usually pop in at 1 and fire up a circle and dance & I discuss the changes.
so not instead of having a core of impressive dancers, we have mean-muggers.
At 115 a Local Athlete comes in with 4 dudes (all under 25)...no VIp table or anything/
requests MGK, Meek, Ross,Cheif ect ect "Anything like that"
not knowing who he is, i treat him like any goofy white dude reeking of jameson and a backwards hat and tell him sorry, new owner switched format...
the owner LITERALLY runs up to me, remember this is only 3 hours after the initial conversation... and says play what ever he wants!
so I say he asked for every artist you told me NOT TO PLAY.
NEVERMIND... THATS ____ _______ JUST DO WHAT HE WANTS.

This is not terribly uncommon. (look at that Jazzy Jeff story)
but the part that pissed me off the most was the dancers who come everyweek, never start trouble, spend money (but "look hiphop") witnessed the entire 180 i had to pull for 1 guy who had 2 beers, realized there was no girls there, and left
i just looked at them and threw my hands up like "what can you do?"

WOW I'm blown away by all these stories of being told what you can and cant play. I try to brand myself as a" open format Video show". And being I'm a show they don't get to tell me what and can and cant do. One owner at my current spot tried to tell me how to play once. I told him off, My usual response is "You hired me to do a job, the job that I do my way, let me do that job and you can decide if you liked it at the end." Nothing throws me off my game more then some owner trying to micromanage me. I don't take kindly to it. It might be a character flaw, But it hasn't stopped me from getting any gigs yet. To note, In Canadian it doesn't seem we have the issues you guys are talking about. Black guys are no quicker to start a fight than a redneck. Its a good reminder to be on here so that I know if I ever get booked in the states what I need to look out for.

Being micromanaged as to what I can and can't play. Owners running into the booth 20 seconds into the first reggae-type track I've played all night. Being told to keep it uptempo, etc. I had a manager tell me to play less "thug music" once, at a multicultural university's campus bar of all places, so I quit on principle alone.

I cant really see Kelowna having an issue like this, there is not a big enough population...

We have certain promoters here that run reggae nights....THEY PACK A CLUB....but ultimately some one gets shot the other nights go to shit cause other crowds are scared to go to that venue on other nights because of the rep of this certain crowd on 1 night of the week...

Ultimately the venue closes or rebrands

because of these certain promoters and the clientele they bring it ultimately gets a stereotype put on certain genres of music....
djnak 10:33 PM - 18 April, 2013
In my opinion and from what I have witnessed its not so much about the type of music as it is how they play it.....

10 second rewind drop the next track....rinse and repeat.....it has the whole crowd standing around like tough guys cheering there favorite songs and mean mugging the guy next to them.....Now take that same crowd make them dance all night same music just played differently...and the outcome is a lot different...

Did you say that weddings are easy? They def. pay more, but you work 10 times are hard for your dollar. You deal with things you don't normally play (country, oldies, exc.) along with the 3-4 generations of disney loving, cowboy hat wearing, electric sliding pushy patrons who all want their genre, and now. I've actually had to break up more fights at weddings than at clubs and festivals!
Laz219 11:05 PM - 18 April, 2013
It seems pretty sad the way music gets blamed for everything that happens in a club. Some people just leave the house at night hoping they'll get in a fight, or after they've had a few drinks are just waiting for someone to give them reason to start something.

I know a club up north tried to change the music around from open format/rnb to house/electro to try and stop all the islanders and such coming in because they thought they caused too many problems. Once they stopped coming though, there was nobody to replace them and the place was empty.
I think they tried that little experiment for about 3 months before changing it back.

I refuse to play or not play a specific format or genre. Your spinning is what makes you you. If they tell you to play mostly country and that is not your style. Well the people will start saying oh he is a country dj etc etc. I specifically tell all gigs I read the crowd and react to what the majority of the people respond to... If the floor fills with boys 2 men and people are screaming ahhh damn every time you drop the next track. Im going with the ahhh damn.

Spanish people do always seem to be particularly demanding of their particular music getting played. From the requests I've had about it, and the few spanish friends I used to go out with that always seemed to be on the DJs case about playing Spanish music, regardless of the club we were at.

I work my butt off at weddings. Music selection is all over the place, peeps demanding their song NOW (especially bride's mother), kids running around pulling on cords and grabbing every light fixture they can reach, and building staff who try to shove you out the door the minute the reception is over. Uhh- excuse me, it took almost an hour to set this crap up. I tear down on MY time, not your "I gotta go pick up my kid at 12:08" schedule. And don't touch my stuff!

weddings are fucked. Much respect to wedding DJs. I couldn't do your job.

Before me, my joint played house ONLY.

My first set there, I started out with house, and then at prime time I started dropping hip hop bangers like be faithful, party up etc. The owner told me it was the first time he'd seen a dancefloor in years. They said, "what you did just then, can you do that every week?" Then my residency began. It evolved from a sit down, chit chat, house music in the background type of venue into a "lets go and get fucked up" type of place.

Yo, I'm Black-American (Jamaican parents) and playing for straight black Americans mixed with another crowd/culture is a very frustrating thing to do. Hate to say it, but these nowadays Black Americans really don't appreciate nor want to hear any other genre of music but Hip-pop, r&b, and 80's old school (not pop). You're gonna have both sides up in your ear. I will say though that the spanish are a little more open-minded when it comes to musical diversity at weddings because they understand that it's really all about the bride and groom.

Tip, keep your sets 10-15 minutes on each genre, that way each side gets a little break and time to sip their poisons until you hit 'em again

Did one Black American (down south) party last week and this chick gonna tell the host, " Hey, tell this n*gga to play something I can dance to! This n*gga playing bull$h*t." And she's yelling at me and him and at the time I was warming up with some Wifey, Just in Case, Meet me at The Alter( remix). I almost packed my $h*t up. Then she came bringing other people to tell me that I don't know what I'm doing. So, what I did was play some of that ignorant ratchetness and soon as they started getting into it I act like somebody stepped on the power cord and cut the music off gesturing, "yo, watch the f*cking wires!!!" That would be a 5-7 minute intermission each incident. I think they caught the hint because they left me alone...

i always start with a line dance record like wobble to get the floor going, (back then it was cha cha slide or cupid shuffle) BUT as soon as i do the spanish people start having panic attacks, bringing cds and standing next to me just mad faced the whole time till i play some of their music.



im just gonna stop here and clear my mind to get ready for this saturday


Yo, I'm Black-American (Jamaican parents) and playing for straight black Americans mixed with another crowd/culture is a very frustrating thing to do. Hate to say it, but these nowadays Black Americans really don't appreciate nor want to hear any other genre of music but Hip-pop, r&b, and 80's old school (not pop). You're gonna have both sides up in your ear. I will say though that the spanish are a little more open-minded when it comes to musical diversity at weddings because they understand that it's really all about the bride and groom.

Tip, keep your sets 10-15 minutes on each genre, that way each side gets a little break and time to sip their poisons until you hit 'em again

Did one Black American (down south) party last week and this chick gonna tell the host, " Hey, tell this n*gga to play something I can dance to! This n*gga playing bull$h*t." And she's yelling at me and him and at the time I was warming up with some Wifey, Just in Case, Meet me at The Alter( remix). I almost packed my $h*t up. Then she came bringing other people to tell me that I don't know what I'm doing. So, what I did was play some of that ignorant ratchetness and soon as they started getting into it I act like somebody stepped on the power cord and cut the music off gesturing, "yo, watch the f*cking wires!!!" That would be a 5-7 minute intermission each incident. I think they caught the hint because they left me alone...

I had a couple yesterday,
In the afternoon doing a small work party, got asked for some (very specific) 'islander music' ....usually these requests are just generic like that but then he started really off tracks that I "must play"- This was about 3 minutes before the event ended, and he was the only islander in the group.

At night, doing a 21st birthday got handed an Ipod at the start "I just thought I'd bring this if you want to play some stuff off it because I don't really listen to mainstream stuff" ... Apparently Aviici, Guetta, Justice and such are really underground.

I actually had a dream last night that I was doing a birthday party and somebody did pretty much everything that has been said in this thread.
I woke up in a bad mood.

I had a bad VJ dream last night, I dreamed i was doing visuals at a festival and I was at setup and arguing with the lead sound guy that my Visuals rig needed to be setup at FOH and not behind the stage. He couldn't understand I needed to see the screens.
I just bought Resolume and feel asleep reading the manual, I think that had something todo with the nature of my deal.

Speaking of DJ dreams,anyone ever had the dream where your at a gig and the records running out and you have to play a particular track next,you can't find it and you (in the dream) cannot just pull out another tune,your frantically trying to find this tune and times running out and you feel in a panic,its feels horrible,then you wake up. or is it just me?

I get pissed off when customers whistle at you to get your attention,I usually turn round and ask them if they've lost their dog!

i had plenty of ridiculous comments and requests from college students tonight as i was djing at a party. just wrapped up an hour ago...

let's start with one of them.....

This one was at the last song of the night as it was coming to a close, by the way i wrapped it up with a slow song called Wale- Bad:

Dude: Can you play Lil Wayne's Shit Stains Song?

Me: It's 2AM, party's over,

Dude: YOU BETTER PLAY THE DAMN SONG RIGHT NOW!!!!!!

Me: Sorry, it's 2AM, should have came a little earlier.

Dude: COME ON, STOP BEING A DICK

ME: @ 2AM, the party closes.

Eventually, the dude that was with him just escorted him out of there
jmlbrns45 7:30 AM - 21 April, 2013
Here's another, only this time from a chick:

Girl: Can you play Bandz a Make Her Dance?

Me: I played that song like an hour ago.

Girl: But me and my girls just came in and today is my birthday. Can you please play that song?

Me: My motto is when i mix, a song does not get played twice.... this is not a radio station, lol.

My MC had to escort her out of the booth.
ninos 7:51 AM - 21 April, 2013

I don't think this has happened to me before.

Beginning of the night. Dude comes up to me wearing a shirt like this:

www.absolutet-shirts.com

The conversation went like this:

How did you get to play here?

Me: I was asked to.

Him: How do I get gigs here? Who do I need to talk to?

(I was so taken back by how upfront he was) so I was like err... email the club or something

He said: I see your using vinyl. Do they have CDJ's here? (obviously doesn't know how to spin records)

At this point I was so fed up to him I just brushed him off.

It made me so angry. I've been DJing 7 years to get to this residency, ranging from some of the worst clubs in the beginning with the dodgiest promoters, to some of the best in the past few years. I busted my guts practicing and trying to rock parties week in, week out to prove myself to keep this 3 year residency. And this guy just thinks he can walk up and have it handed to him on a silver platter? Why the hell would I want to tell him how to take MY spot?

Very keen to hear others thoughts on this

Happened to me once, this guy comes to me and says his cousin is a newcomer DJ but has it all figured out, better than the big names around my city (who've been deejaying for 25 - 30 years now) so I should let him spin to show me.

So this cocky bastard comes to me and says, "yeah i'm the guy he told you about" (it really looked like it was all planned out, he knew his cousin put in a word for him and all, it's like they rehearsed the thing or somehting)

"so at what time do i take over?"

I just smiled at him, amazed of how cocky and arrogant he was...

him : "so ?"

me: "nice try bro, now please let me work, I have no time to do babysitting"

one of the bouncers asked him to not bother me again after that, never saw his face again...

Considering that the radio probably plays that song 4 times an hour, you should consider that he completely expects for you to do exactly just this; and based on the expectations he is not wrong.

Cinco De Mayo- Takes me about an hour to unload gear and set up from turntables, lights, speakers, video etc etc. Owner- Why does it take you so long to set up. It takes me 15 minutes to set up my gear. I just left it alone. I cannot even imagine what he thinks he is hooking up. Ipod with Pandora or something? It is actually getting to the point Im thinking why waste my time. Ipod to speakers done. Bad thing is I could actually get away with it and still take home the dough. Why even bother hiring someone.

I had a wedding this past weekend - got this request.

Them: Can you get on Youtube?

I say: NO but what do you want to hear?

Them: Uh ummmm, it's a rap song...

Me: ok.... what is it...

Them: U don't even no it...

Me: Try me - I probably got it - what is it....???

Them: it's by Rocko - that is the name... but it is spelled out - U,N.E.N.O.

Me: DOH... I had to laugh - Do you want the remix with Future or the Rick Ross original?

She looked surprised that I even knew it let alone had it....

I've admittedly gone to clubs with friends where I've not been a fan of the music or style or the DJ, but I'm not going to go ask them to change their entire performance style with a different genre when the dance floor is full and my friends are enjoying themselves. I just know no to expect to enjoy the music if I go back there - which is a very big if. If I pester the DJ because I don't like what he's playing but everyone else seems to be enjoying it, then I'm just an ass.

Two guys told my roadie he need to move his *bleeping* car as he pulled up to the front of a venue to load in my gear. He exchanged words with the drunk patrons and then one of them hit my guy as he was sitting in the drivers seat. When my friend gets out of the car, both guys jump on him...

Meantime I'm inside and the store manager, some older lady comes running in to tell security to break up the fight in the parking lot. Naturally when I hear this my first instinct is to get out there ASAP - I had a feeling it was my boy.

So I get out there lickity split and see my friends face bloody and I snap. The bartender/security breaks up the fight but the two guy were on top of my boy at this point. One of the guy pulls back as the bartender is trying to break it up. This guy and me square up and I say did you hit my brother? Did you hit him? He's like, "yeah" and swings at me. I slip his haymaker (I boxed for 3 years), swing back with all of that momentum stand up and come off of my back foot with a HEAVY straight right!! Blllaaauuuooowwww! He caught it square in his left jaw and drops like a sack of potatoes.

As my boy is being held back the other guy who jumped him squares up to me and without hesitation, I hit him first. This guy was 6'2" and took the punch like a man!! I was like oh shit, let me do that again, come on... The security finally breaks it all up.

After that, and as the first guy is still knock'd out, laying in the lot, I start to load in my gear. As I'm going in/out of the front door the manager lady says, you represent our business!!! I'm thinking, "this fat ass bitch has the nerve to say that!" I should be the one threatening you with a lawsuit for letting patrons get so wasted and not providing any security for the entertainment/staff!

Don't listen to bezzel on that one. I would have told the manager off for saying something like that to me. Not infront of her staff but i would have taken her to the back room and laid into her. I probably wouldn't stop until she #1 cries because she feels so bad for saying that and for not properly protecting her staff or #2 says I'm not playing, but then I wouldn't leave until I received full payment.


A little while ago I was playing my res and the club was packed full capacity peak hour. The owner and I where (and alwasy are) doing renovations.

But I always make sure to never spill anyones drinks, I have bought people a new one before after spilling theres. It was clear to everyone else it seemed I was working and had important things tod. Then theres that one drunk dick whos not paying attention or doesn't care. on my way there he gave me a little push, I didnt think nothing of it.

Hes pushed back so hard i rammed into 4-5 people and knocked them all off the stage. well I signaled for the door man as I tried to hit this guy. I didnt land anything and ended up locking up with him for a few seconds well doormen got there. In the mean time his GF decided she wanted a piece of me too. I really liked thi girl she had newly become a regular and a fan of mine coming out every night i played for the past couple months. Well I was 1 step higher than her BF on the stage I guess my nuts looked like a good target. She nailed me good a couple of time before I knew what happened. I may have fallen backwards at t he time and connected my foot to her chest, may have (stupid bitch) I signaled for the doormen to remove both of them the hard way, dragged by their necks I was happy to see them leave.

Don't listen to bezzel on that one. I would have told the manager off for saying something like that to me. Not infront of her staff but i would have taken her to the back room and laid into her. I probably wouldn't stop until she #1 cries because she feels so bad for saying that and for not properly protecting her staff or #2 says I'm not playing, but then I wouldn't leave until I received full payment.

[DAMN IT]

The first time i handled him with jokes about the place being empty and how NO ONE will care, becuase NO ONE IS HERE@
(WAAAAAHHHH EVERYOPNE WANTS TO HEAR IT RETORT)
Then he started screaming at me, ect ect
but becuase it was empty, everyone heard and staff flew up quick.
but BECAUSE he was friends with the head bartender, they just gave him a little talking to.
10 minutes later we hear this scuffle from the waitress station, and one of our cocktail waitresses is going in on him with the slap machine.
again, just pulled aside and sat down and told to chillout.
finally the staff is kicking out all the late-stayers.
on this call EVERYONE goes.... and he refused and it turned into a complete melee.

the second time, I completely lied right to his face
I told him the OWNER told me that if i thought he was too drunk i could have him kicked out and barred immediatly....
he bought it. crisis everted

Some chick comes up and requests Freaks. I was trying to get more ladies incolved so why not. I ended up playing it next. End of the.night comes and she says 'thanks for playing my song, oh wait you didnt.' Told this girl to put 50 on a bet because I recorded my set and would prove it. Shes says she doesnt have money, so I ask what she is doing at a bar drinking. Her response is 'i dont pay for my drinks.' So not only does she use her tits to mooch of people, but she gets upset because she didnt pay attention to the music. With that attitude and her not contributing a dime to our venue, why should I even consider playing what she wants to hear?

1) Why I don't buy girls drinks at bars.
2) Why I don't take request just because some girl drops her tits on my arm as she leans in, or intentionally pushes them up and leans in front, or tries to be sultry and what not. Don't bullshit me. I'm not playing your request. I don't care if it is your birthday (and it's likely not. Got id?)

Happens all the time, fun part is, if they could AT LEAST get their humming right by singing the right melody.

A few years back some drunk dude comes to me and asks me to play the song that goes

"na na na na"... (of course he sang it without any sense of melody)

it took me like half an hour to understand he wanted to hear Akon's - Right Now (na na na)

How do they expect us to always understand what they mean?

It's like asking the one song from Pitbul where he says "Dale" right before the chorus/verse

I just got done with two slow songs at a wedding. I picked the vibe back up and the dance floor is rockin'. This girl comes up to request another slow song, so I told her in a few minutes - not right now.

About 10 minutes later (dance floor still hopping), this Tony Soprano looking dude comes up and starts smoozing with me. He introduces himself as"The Family Problem Solver." I ask him what the "problem" was and he tells me that this girl requested her song 10 minutes ago and I haven't played it yet!

We all know where this goes, so I'll save you the gritty dialogue between me and Harvey Keitel (aka The Wolf). It ended with me telling him to buzz off and that the bride and groom hired me to run the show, not him. Long story short, never heard from him the rest of the night, groom apologized for him, and tipped me extra $50 for an awesome night.

Why the FUCK would I PAY to have MOTHERFUCKERS ANNOY ME all night?

Who are these sick asshats who think they can get away with this kind of bullshit?

What kind of twisted mind would come up with this satanic technology?

Inquiring minds want to know!


It's not that hard to understand...

And the audience for such a "feature" is probably very large...

From the n00b DJ, just starting out, who has NO IDEA what to play...

To the Bar/Club owner who wants to do a "Request Night", etc..etc.

Yeah, this could very well be a problem.....for some... :-)
Kool DJ Sheak One 6:20 PM - 27 June, 2013
I understand the concept Johnny.
But the sheer level of evil assholeness that it takes to even implement this is mind-boggling.

It goes against what I consider makes a good DJ to begin with.
If the DJ doesn't know what to play, WHY IS HE DJING?

Human juke-box at best.

It would be a problem for everyone involved.

No one wins when you would technically have to listen to peoples drunk, bad taste come through the sound system to make everyone else suffer!
Joshua Carl 6:35 PM - 27 June, 2013
There was a very similar app introduced a few years ago at my bar, that they try to sell. Basically there was no DJ, and people would vote on the next song, On their smartphones it would display the current percentage of votes for the next song, encouraging people to revote and revote again via text message to decide what the next song was going to be.

Actually, that IS and area of concern for "Older" people. For example, a LOT of older cats attend weddings or whatever with the frame of mind of dancin' to just a "FEW" songs if necessary, and if they know, for example, that the Cupid Shuffle comes on, they have a good idea of how long the song is, and what to "prepare" their body for, in terms of huffing and puffing on the dance floor.

If you a seemless mixer, and keep the energy of the dancefloor at a certain level, they can't judge when to COME OFF the dance floor....

LOL, that reminds me of a time that I put the "Electric Slide" on an endless loop, while doing something else, and almost FORGOT about the crowd, only to see them all stressed out on the floor looking at me like "MAN, WILL YOU LET THE SONG END SO I CAN SIT DOWN"...lmao....

It cuts out (buffering) about 40 sec in and the crowd is looking at me like WTF?!? I unplug the thing, toss it back to groom's buddy and say "No more of that, if I don't have it, it ain't getting played." The rest of the night, no one came to request some crappy slow country songs... oh, except for "Cruise."

So I got the flow goin' on the dance floor at a wedding last night and I'm doing a pretty tight mix/mash with Kid Rock "All Summer Long" and some country jam that the bride wanted...

People are digging the mix, dancing, and generally having a good time. All the sudden some Texas Lone Star looking country dude with a hub cap for a belt buckle comes up and grabs wireless the mic to announce his "family tradition". He interrupts the whole groove to talk about this T-shirt that he wants to give to the groom. People are looking at him like he's crazy and the dance floor clears. When he's finally done with his drunk cowboy speech, he adamantly requests that I play that "Smoking Funny Things" song by Kid Rock!

I was going to stop her but i though this could be funny. takes her 5 min to push though the PACKED (havent seen the D floor that packed in a long time, really busy night, official after party for a big festival this weekend) she finally makes it to the dj booth, stands there with the why arent you paying attention to me look on her face, Alvin see's her puts on his headphones (i assume to dampen the sound) then cranks his monitors to 11!

Oh you can imagine the look on my face.

I have a residency where I play to the public. When I play to the masses I have a free pass to do whatever I like. It's heaven.

My residency also takes functions in their classy upstairs area. Once the manager told me he was really short on DJs and I was the best open format DJ he knew, and he asked a special favour if I could do an 80's set at a private function just for 1 night. I was bored so I agreed... Biggest mistake... Worst night of my life. People in my ear all night long, telling me to play this and that. And the damn thing went on for 5 hours. In the mean time, the "substitute DJ" was playing DMX to 2000 people downstairs in the main bar which wouldve otherwise been my gig!

Lesson learned

And people were still cheering for more! After his set he was talking about how much he loved the energy and wanted us to find him an after party to go to. He still wanted to keep playing. And finally the crowd was so "rowdy" (right on the edge of being too much) they ripped the dj booth (redbull one) right out of the floor. 9 inch bolts held it in place. It was a pain to fix the next day. But nothing was broke that i couldn't be fixed by myself before the next night.

Wedding this passed Saturday.. Venue took about 2 hours to finish serving dinner. So between cocktail hour and 2 hours of dinner I played a ton of motown (along with other genres of slow jams).. Sure enough by the time the dancing finally started some chick asked if I could play some more motown!

Lol,for shits and giggles i dropped figures remix of this is halloween last weekend, best part was there was an MC and the dj who played before me in the booth and both looked at me like WFT, then about 30 secs into it they frantically say noone likes it and to change it. Then the bass dropped and the remixed part started and they were screaming at me just as frantically not to change it lol

i used to dj house parties and got the usual
"can you play _______?"while the song hasnt even oficially came out yet and is slow
then the annoying girl asks you to play it multiple times through the night and threatens to not leave me alone unless i play it.
Finally end up playing the song and she just sits down looking at me blankly...
ive also got asked to play a song and then they came up and said "not this one, the other one" wtf? lol..

Another one i get alot is "can i see what music you have"
me: "no."
them: "come on man let me look at your screen"
me: "...no"

At the club girls always ask me to hold there phones and cards, papers, other bullshit.
alot of my friends demand that i get them in for free.
i told one of my friends no and he said "ok well ill pay to get in and you pay me back"

Once, at a residency I used to have, annoying girl kept asking me that. I said no. Later in the night, I went to the restroom (put a prerecorded mix for potty breaks). When I came back, she was standing in front of my computer, scrolling through different folders and what not. I really wanted to choke her out. Instead, I had the manager kick her out for touching something that she wouldn't have been able to replace. I was PISSED!

Few years back, while doing a high school event (one of those pep-rally kind of things), I ended up in possession of an iPod Touch after a student left it plugged in to one of our surge protectors and completely forgot about. Even after it ended and we spent the hour during our breakdown asking if anyone knew the owner of the phone by name (it was unlocked - no password was set), but no one did. I ended up getting it back to the owner after a few weeks through the school.

I don't have backstreet boys either, and I do weddings once in a blue moon. Honestly, that was an incredibly sad era in music. The boy band craze. You listen to that shit now and you think what the hell were they thinking? I don't think anyone requests that stuff unless it's a joke.

It's funny I read some of the most "ridiculous" comments and request ...and sometimes I think....I woulda played that and I probably would have went over really well, especially if you are doing mobile gigs, small bars,lounges. Some of my entire set list would have to be in this thread, but the crowd wanted and thats what they got...those night are definitely not about feeding my "DJ Ego" but more about playing to the crowd...Hell I have finished night with the ducktales them song and had the floor still bumpin lol
Laz219 1:55 AM - 14 August, 2013
There seem to be two kinds of people that would request BSB:
1) People that grew up in that time, and consider it a fun throwback
2) People who want to try and be ironic and request the stupidest thing they can.

(while a playing "on the floor" to a full dance floor) but could not name a artist or title all night besides Beach Boys (which I accomodated her with the Stanton Warriors remix of "good vibrations") and then the Backstreet boys request which was denied.

The thing I don't like about playing Backstreet boys is that the whole boy band craze was a black eye in music. People should be ashamed of that shit. The music has aged horribly. I don't mind playing cheesy music, but stuff like that is really just awful. You would have to request it ahead of time, like before the gig it would have to be on the "must play list" in order for me to even have it and play it.

I've never figured out the exodus music must go into before it is alolowed to be played again.
It's hot for a few months, then if you play it after that- you're playing 'old music nobody wants to hear' ....yet wait a couple of years and suddenly everybody loses their mind when it comes on.

I guess with things being so heavily saturated now, it's inevitable when you hear it on every station every hour. I just find it funny how after that period, suddenly it becomes cool again.

I don't usually listen to the radio in the car, but I was doing a long trip recently in a borrowed car, so I had to keep station jumping as I drove. In the 8 or so hours I was driving, I probably heard about 15 different songs.
Plus heard a pitbull and flo-rida song I'd been consciously ignoring that was possibly the worst thing I've ever heard.

Terrestrial radio has been garbage for a long time now. Big corporations are homogenizing things - less local flavor. Used to be, driving from SF to LA (as an example), you could hear regional differences. Now it all sounds the same.

I liken a song's lifespan to wine. Grape juice is great fresh, tastes bad when old, but let it sit for x number of years, it becomes a fine complement to a juicy steak.

+1 I don't detect any sampling or complete hijacking of melody or bassline. While it is definitely in the same style though, big time, that doesn't warrant royalties or damages though.
If that were the case, there would be almost no modern music - almost everything out these days is either sampled, stolen, or greatly influenced by older tracks.
I am digging the new retro 70's sound that appears to be the next big thing - really a step back to actual music

as soon as i heard that song i thought the got to give it up song weeks ago. i have to genre swap for my wed night gig alot and it works perfectly together

While the idea of Robin Thicke filing a pre-emptive lawsuit sound weird, with some of the "copyright" lawsuits from the past and the massive success of "Blurred Lines" it's understandable.

There's been a lot of weird copyright-related lawsuits in the past (going back before sampling was even a factor), and that song being likely the #1 pop song for the whole year makes it an opportunistic target.
DJMark 2:13 AM - 23 August, 2013
Come to think of it, the first time I heard "Blurred Lines" it wasn't Marvin Gaye who stood out as a reference. It was Madonna "Give It To Me" from a few years ago, which actually does have a nearly-identical bassline and percussion (pitched down a half-step and put in a major key on "Blurred Lines").

It was just Pharrell recycling his own production from the Madonna song.

Kind of similar to how "Elevator" was just a variant of "4 Minutes".

Papa Midnight 9:04 AM - 31 August, 2013
Man, I think I just ran the textbook tonight...

Woman walks up to the side steps of the booth. I know what's coming so I disregard her and try to mix the next song in (with less than 30 seconds to go on the track. More on that in a minute.)

[...] (I'm actively ignoring her)

(She tries the whole touch-you-softly-on-the-hand-that-I'm-currently-frakking-mixing-with-o
n-a-half-ass-excuse-for-a-CDJ1000MK2-to-get-your-attentionshtick)

"Can you play that song that goes [bla bla frakking bla]" ( EYE-DEE-TEN-TEE ERROR!!!!!)

I don't have it anyway and clearly said I don't have it. She didn't get the message.

[...] <-- this is her standing there still trying the give-me-attention-because-I'm-a-woman-and-you're-the-dj shtick

"Can you give my girl a birthday shoutout?"

[...] <-- This is me staring at her waiting for the name.

"[REDACTED]." I give shoutout, she disappears doing that drunk girl at the club scream.

[...] Time elapsing...

Obviously I didn't play it; and I'm slightly agitated as it is as the DJ who was supposed to come in at 9 to take over for the usual club hours was running late... an hour and 30 minutes late. You better believe I charged extra. Money in hand. But I digress, this is why I had 30 seconds left on a track and was rushing to mix another one in - I had just had a discussion with the manager as to why their DJ was late and what they were going to do compensate me.

[...] Time elapsing...

(1 hour later. I was supposed to be done at 9, it's around 10.) "You didn't play my song!"
I don't have it.
"I know you have it"
Nope.
"You have to have it"
Nope.
"Well can you play Blurred Lines?"
Nope (The song was played 2 hours ago).
(I should preface this by pointing out that the significant majority of the lounge attendees right now are 21-24 and in college. They're there due to a college event.)
"Are you going to play this all night long? I'm 40."
My response was somewhere along the lines of 'You should've been here on-time when all the songs like what you're requesting were played' and a bit about my agitation that I was there an hour over my planned time.
She stalked off.

Anywho, next DJ finally showed up at 10:20, we did a switchover, and I called it.

Was at the club last weekend. Right in the middle of my set this hottie comes up to me and is trying to get my attention. I giver her the "just a sec" gesture. She comes closer and leans in over my equipment. She's smoking man. Face, body shes got all that.
After a sec I take the headphones off and say"Hey whats up?"
She moves in closer so I can hear her and starts to talk.
Right off the bat I get hit with the worst breath I have even smelled. Something just died in her mouth i'm pretty sure. I pulled back but she was persistent. I went in again trying not to breath it in. Finally I heard her request "Hey can you play something with some Guitar in it? Like some 50 cent or something......?
WTF...

Block party on Monday. I'm playing Tribe Called Quest "Award Tour". Dude comes up to me and asks me to play some Hip-Hop. I told him sternly, "this IS HIP-HOP!" and stared him down till he walked away.

Same party, dude comes up to me and asks if he can rock a few joints on my set and he's a VDJ guy. I told him I use Serato. He said that's cool he's coming right back. Dude comes back with his laptop and started arranging songs. He appeared to be a "I just got a laptop and downloaded a thousand something songs and I'm a DJ now" type of dude. Started getting my fingers dusty and dude had to walk away with his head down. Had to make him realize he wasn't built for this. Love seeing dudes close their laptops and walk off...

And I think I'm going to bring and extra mp3 player with some headphones so when someone wants to request a song I'm gonna hand them the headphones and let them listen to it right there. They can't say they ain't hear their song, right?
DJ Reflex 10:42 PM - 4 September, 2013
Still a classic...
Chick comes up to request a song that I'm CURRENTLY PLAYING!


Another - Lady comes up to request Wobble or Blurred Lines or some other top-40, overplayed, radio hash song. (I'm not complaining - heck, I'm a wedding DJ. That's what I specialize in!) Anyway, I tell her about 5-6 minutes while I mix it in...
Song eventually comes on and I realize that she stepped out for a smoke break. Now, to avoid the "Can you play it again? I wasn't hear." routine, I see her running back in during the last few seconds of the song so I drag it to the second deck, match up the beats of the first chorus and fade over during the last 8 measures. Crowd doesn't know what hit 'em, chick gets to hear the whole song (or most of it), and I don't have to go through the run-around of dealing with a pissed off bridesmaid! It's a win.
Laz219 11:34 PM - 4 September, 2013
I've done that by accident once, first track I was playing (while still setting up, so a bit distracted) - must of left highlighted in the library and loaded it to the second deck. Lucky it was a short edit anyway so I just played out the hook again and went to the next track.

When gangnam style was huge (thank god that's over!) I was playing to a group of 15-17 year olds and they went nuts the entire time, ran it back into itself...played for something like 8.5 minutes straight and they were still loving it. Was tempted to go a third time just to see when it got old.

Yeah SSD is pretty much a luxury for even HD media.

My main reason for going that route was concern over vibrations and jolts. The instant load times and lower operating temperatures were nice bonuses.

Maybe OWC/Macsales will get Crucial or Samsung to put out a SATA-2 variant of one of their big SSD's, the way they did with the new HGST 1.5tb hard drives.

So had 2 idiots in one night at my gig on Saturday.

Firstly, a drunk girl comes up and requests Avicii. No problem I was playing current EDM at the time anyway so I said I would fit it in soon. I was planning to play it anyway. 10 mins later, as Avicii was playing, she comes up again and slurrs "When are you going to play my song?". I point at the screen and tell her its playing now...... So she replies with "Well... What about my other request?" Yeah right love......

Secondly, a drunk bloke comes up and asks if I am taking requests. Yes I say, what do you want? He says "When will you play it though?" So I say, as I don't even know what he wants yet, I have a couple of other requests to fit in but if you tell me what it is I will play it in later on. So he gets in a strop and stomps off saying "Don't bother then!" OK, twat I won't, doesn't bother me....!

People like this are the worst. They think the club is their own private party. Thursday night at the end of a gig I had chick yell at me "Fuck you for not playing my song" So I kindly told her that when she gets in her car she can play her song on repeat until she gets sick of it

2 more things that happened the same night...

First, this girl comes up to me and is like "Can you go back and do some more scratching, because I NEVER see any DJ's do that today? I'd like to upload it to my phone"...

^^^That blew my mind, like DAMN, has DJ'ing REALLY lost the art like that?

And also, this dude comes up, and asks me to play "Such and Such", SO HE CAN MACK ON THIS GIRL AND GET THIS PARTY STARTED with her....lol...

So yeah, if you need THE DJ to play a particular SONG so you can get your MACK ON, (and it was some ridiculous *ish by Drake or Jay-Z anyway...lmao), then you sir, have to step up your game something SERIOUS....
DJ Reflex 9:36 PM - 14 October, 2013
^^ LOL with the guy trying to mack on his girl.

I get the "scratching" thing once in a while too, but it's especially bad because I'm very basic at best. It's sad that even what little I do is "amazing DJ skills" to the crowds I cater to. These peeps need to get out more...

Oh wait, then I'll actually have to learn to scratch and up my game... never mind then.

Wedding Saturday...drunk girl kept having pseudo intellectual rambles with me as I worked. After trying to pull me on the dance floor during "Bump & grind."

"You need to market yourself more. You look good, you dress nice, you're a great DJ. You had me groovin. But you need to be marketing yourself." As I'm DJ'n...and kept insisting this shit. And took 50 of my business cards, passed them out...I thanked her, and she said "no, don't thank me. You need to learn how this works. I'm 30, I am a make up stylist. You need to be talking to everyone, and you need to make sure everybody here has your card." And kept on with that nonsense. SMH.

I would have been tempted to either play the Neon Trees song "1983", or some off-the-wall thing from 1983 (no shortage of obscure yet really good alternative to pick from in that year).

What the guy probably wanted was "Beat It", "Flashdance" or "Every Breath You Take", of course...

Guy comes up (not one of the djs) and says "Hey can I charge my laptop?"

Another comes up and asks if I can make an announcement that Paintball Club will be meeting blah blah blah. Please meet at the trees near the cafeteria.. Yea, no sorry. The principal said I can't.

It just threw me off because he just said from "1983" not like hey can you play some "80"s" or something "early 80's". He wanted a song from 1983!! He was in his 50's and want born in 83....

Just did a high school senior luau party. I was shocked when all the typical line dances were going off, Chacha slide, cupid shuffle. Then I played Macarena and YMCA and those went off. Then, I played Caballo Dorado. For those non-Mexicans, it's the equivalent of the Electric Slide. Every single kid there knew the dance. Considering the majority were white, i knew it was a risk, but it worked! Twilight zone much? (no, I did not play the wobble. I still "forget" to get that track every single time. lol

I did get the "Hey, can we get some black music up in here? Some of that dirty ghetto stuff" She was white. Yes, I gave her the look. lol. We're at a high school function, in a private school, with all the teachers n staff around. WHYYYYYY????????? I am ashamed.. I still played it. lol
Can you play some at that twerking music? gah!!

And I do agree maybe the cattle prod should be brought to clubs.

For my wedding, I had some dj that was supposed to have it on lock. I'm Mexican. He didn't have any cumbias, merengue, caballo dorado.. anything.. I can't have that!! lol.. SO I had to literally go the day of, prepped with my usb and make sure he had those songs... I know I woulda hated it, but it was on my contract/list of songs he had to have. My family's Mexican, her family's half Mormon/ and other half is some conservatives, some crazy lol.

My family was feeling left out, so I had to instruct the dj on which spanish songs to mix and in what order. . . Would I have hated that? Yes. But it's my wedding and he shoulda been prepared lol. I did let him know which songs were supposed to be on the roster..

If my wife had let me, I literally woulda played at least a half hour set for my wedding ..lol.
oh well.


at the quinceneara i did recently, I had the Mom literally giving me the "cut the music"/What is this crap" signal every other song... Just a slap in the face to any dj.. lol..But the dance floor was packed.. why hate? lol

haha.. never gonna live that down am i?

The guy I had originally booked is a well known wedding dj around here that i had complete confidence in. He had a family emergency, but had his colleague to cover for him. I trusted his judgement on it, so we thought it was ok. He did great with all of the wedding music for her side of the family, so they typical wedding cheese.. But when it came to the spanish songs, he only had literally the 6or7 songs I had put as example on the list. Versus when I get a song list, I research and get similar songs etc to the songs on the list for the party time..

So in this instance, I had to lend a helping hand.

He did well for the rest of the night, I just needed to help for the spanish part.. thats all ..

And no, he didn't hook up with my wife lmao..

Had this happen not too long ago..

I was djing at Cinespace.. It was supposed to be a big deal cuz I was spinning the "prime time" slot.. A younger cat was the promoter for the night/closing dj..he's been in the game 2 years.. me for 6..

I did my thing, went from the new school 100 bpm to the old school 100 bpm, get low, ain't no fun, hyphy, etc...not in that order, and with other tracks.. Got the floor packed and everyone was jamming.

So he's like "dawg what are you doing? "
I'm like what do you mean?
Why are you playing all this old stuff? You're the prime slot dj, you're supposed to play new bangers!
-What are you talking about? Is everyone dancing? It doesn't matter what I'm playing. As long as everyone's dancing, then my job is done..
-na.. it doesn't fly like that around here.. you are the headliner, you're supposed to bring new stuff...
we start going back n forth for a bit. .. he plays all the new whack tracks that the dance floor responds to, but doesn't really get wild to.

I got heated tho..

how you gonna talk about my song selection.. i understand if my mixing was off or something along those lines.. but who cares if i'm rocking old school or new school.. what I spun got everyone dancing and rocking out. I personally pride myself on being able to read a crowd, selecting good tracks, and playing what the crowd wants/likes... Hoiw you gonna tell me my song selection is off?

as a dj, should you criticize another dj's song selection? gtfoh. People dancing, buying drinks, and my mixing was clean..get outta my face with that bs. (It was an open format/hiphop club.. )

It depends if they book you for what you do.
If they didn't discuss the format with you before hand and knew you were gonna do you, then why did they put you as the headliner and then trip on your selection?

I'm at a bar gig a couple of months ago. There's roughly 30 people there.

Younger cat walks up. He's sitting at a table about 10 feet away from me with two of his boys. "Hey dude, can you play All Me by Drake."
Me: "Yeah, that's cool, just give me a few." I was in the hundo bpm range at the moment.

15-20 mins pass. Dude walks up again. "Hey man, I'm really trying not to be that dude. I don't wanna be that dude. But can you play All Me soon. I just really want to wyle out with my dudes."
Me: "Uh. Ok, sure."

A song or two later, I drop it and these 3 young dudes are jamming. They proceed to scream every word like it's the greatest song they've ever heard and they're all kinda bouncing in their seats.

It was entertaining to say the least. Kids these days.

15-20 mins pass. Dude walks up again. "Hey man, I'm really trying not to be that dude. I don't wanna be that dude. But can you play All Me soon. I just really want to wyle out with my dudes."
Me: "Uh. Ok, sure."

A song or two later, I drop it and these 3 young dudes are jamming. They proceed to scream every word like it's the greatest song they've ever heard and they're all kinda bouncing in their seats.

It was entertaining to say the least. Kids these days.

(PS - I know this is misquote gold. So, by the way, no misquote.)

at least the guy that asked for the song was jamming, worse is when some one ask for a song & when you put it on they act like there bored

Nah the worse is when you play it, they get crunk for 5 secs until they notice everyone else thinks its lame, then they try to act like theydudnt request it

Rihanna's "We Found Love" is the perfect example of this for me to this day. Grabbed it from the record pool a full 5-6 months before it actually hit radio the next year. People looked at me stupid when I played it so I stopped playing it. 5 months later... nothing but request, and by that point, I hated the song because it was getting requested so much that I didn't want to play it anymore; and I was admittedly salty about the stupidity of crowds Top-40-Radio-Robots.

Did a 50 year old Jamaican party. This lady guest keeps asking me to play some Vybz Kartel. I told her that I can't play his songs because it ain't that type of party. She keeps coming back and then sends some younger people to request it. After about 2 hours I played it and everyone clears the floor while mumbling and looking at me like I had a d*ck growing out of my eye and confused. Looked at the lady and saw she was trying to dissolve in the crowd. I stopped the music, got on the mic, pointed and called her out. I let everyone know that she is the one who is trying to ruin this precious night. Never saw her again and the party picked up where it left off. Sometimes you gotta do that....

Been there, done that (not the song). I can usually find the happy medium in some old Aphrodite like 5 On It. Not modern "EDM" but close enough I can tell the EDM requester I did the best I could do for them cause its not an EDM club. Usually satisfies the requester without pissing off the crowd.

Dj-M.Bezzle 3:29 PM - 7 November, 2013
I was playing an event last weekend (not a club gig where the dj is off in a booth, a stage event where the dj is front and center) i finish my set and go to stage right to chill and watch the next DJ. This girl comes up the stage steps and asks me where the dj is ( the dj is quite literally 6 feet to her left) i tell her there is no dj tonight but the bands getting ready, she calls my bluff and calls me an idiot because her "friend said there was a dj here". I laugh and holla at the dj asking if there was a dj here, he just laughs, then a call over 2 of the gogo dancers who were performing and wink and ask if theres a dj scheduled for tonight, they say no. So this girl leaves and comes back with the flyer. I tell her oooooooohhhh those djs, ya there over there by the pool table, and she walks off. I watch her walk around the pool tables searching for the Dj. The gogos are laughing and ask why im bein a dick, i tellem its cause i KNOW shes that dumb bitch who is going to ask for hiphop at an edm event (it was a paint rave with a daft punk tribute band as headliners hiphop was NOT gonna happen). Finally she comes back up PISSED because her friend finally pointed out that the guy on stage front and center in front if the crazy lights on turntables RIGHT NEXT TO HER was the dj. She goes in stage, says somethin to him and i see him barely tolerate her for like 5 minutes then kick her off stage. She storms over clearly upset and starts screaming YOU SUUUCK at the dj. One of the gogos asks her why shes mad, she says "noone likes techno your ruining the party he needs to play hiphop". Me and the gogos are like.....huh what and she comes back with noone likes this music. So i ask her why if noone likes this music why is literally EVERYONE packed in front of the stage goin apeshit. She tells me because its to packef and they have to (if its to packed there there for a reason) then she tells me that noone knows these songs and if they and everyones having a horrible time and almost on cue the mc (who must have heard her) does the if your having a good time scream and put your hands up. Almost 100% participation. Im like how do you explain that then. She looks puzzled and tells me noone knows this music and once again almost as ifon cue the dj drops "scumbag" cuts the volume and you could hear EVEEEERYONE scream the words then start jumpinh up and down like madmen. Once again im like explain that, shes goes see noones dancing......facepalm. So finally i ask here why feels so damn entitled to have her way she would demand everything about this event change just for her, why cant she just have fun like evvvveryone else. So goes on to expplain itd because shes hot and everyone else in the building is weird. At this point one of the dancers (whos easily 3 times hotter than this bitch) tells her that if everyone in the building is weird besides her, shes probably the weird one. I laugh and say ya it is really kinda weird to pay $30 to come to a clearly advertised "rave" and expect hiphop.

Ive never seen a girl look so defeated in her life.

She probably got dragged there by her friend and didn't really want to be there. As a result, she's going to be mad, sulk, and say she is better than everyone else. I also expect she spent the next few hours cockblocking any guy from dancing with her friend.

When you play a song that sounds like another song...
To use an example I dealt with recently ..
I Can almost guarantee if you play *Dustin Tavela "Everybody knows"
The floodgates will open and a line 10 deep to hear Genuine "Pony" will form.

Idk now maybe that's an edjucated ear? Confused about it now -)
I just drop them together atm. seems to always go well..

Still irritates me when I plan on dropping it next though and here comes the requests..

I actually don't mind this. Seems like a perfectly reasonable request to me.

DJ Serventi 7:58 PM - 19 November, 2013
Here's a good one:

I had a good looking girl keep asking me to play "Eye of the Tiger" and she got a bunch of her friends to jump on the dance floor to dance to it. OK, I thought because her and her friends were pretty cute. I started to play it, and she looked at me funny. Turns out she wanted me to play Roar, by Katy Perry. I can't tell you how many times I have had requests that have part of the lyrics, and not so much the actual title, and how upset people get when their "song they meant to ask for" isn't played!
Papa Midnight 8:57 PM - 19 November, 2013
See, I blame that on them. You want a song, know the damn title of the song and the artist. Don't request "THAT NEW SONG BY [Insert Artist Here]" (caps lock used to signify the fact that they're screaming it) or the "THAT SONG THAT GOES...", tell me the damn song.

Back in 2011, there was this ratchet song called "Bring it Back" from Travis Porter that got real popular. Before I knew about it though, we were still playing "Bring it Back" by 8Ball & MJG. The sheer number of DJ's in this area that were confused by that request was downright hilarious (and I was admittedly one of them).
Laz219 11:23 PM - 19 November, 2013
I do get the requests that are obviously thought of because of a similar song, if they come up and I'm about to play it anyway...I usually just point at it on the deck and say "one step ahead of you" or something.

People that say a song is their favourite, yet can't actually name it really frustrate me. Especially when it's not like we're all using CDs now and you only ever see a track number, between the computer, ipod, phone and car....the track title is right in front of you all the time.

That's called a tip. If the patrons start tipping his bartenders, is he going to cut off their pay? Not if he doesn't want a civil suit - which is why I only work DJ gigs via contract.

I missed the "I told you not to play that crap". If that was spelled out in the contract, then no manner of tips is going to get me to play it.

I'm reminded of the time I was contracted to do a fashion show and the organizer (who was paying me) quite explicitly specified "NO HIP-HOP". Of course, his crowd was entirely ratchet... so by 20 minutes into it, with the exception of the specific sets, all the intro and intermission music was hip-hop (He finally gave in when audience members wouldn't stop complaining to him that the music sucked. Anytime someone complained to me, I pulled up the contract that explicitly stated "no hip-hop" and pointed straight to him).

Kid comes up to me oh hey you're a dj....(ummm...really? )
yea.
What program are you using?
Traktor, but I'm normally a Serato user. More so than Traktor, this is my small set up for small gigs like this.
Oh.. have you heard of VirtualDJ?
yea.
It's pretty good.. I got it for free...................................
(shoot me now)

Oh you're playing hip hop(I was playing Royals-Lorde a redrum, I forget by whom)
yup.
Hey you know what would mix perfectly into this? Ice Cream Paint job.. Have you heard of it?
yup.
do you have it?
yup..
its a really good song
i have it
no but it'll mix
sure
Yea dude watch it'll mix.. start's singing it..."Yea buddy..rolling like a big shot.."
cool man.. thanks for the help....

That really depends on the establishment and location. In alot of the entertainment districts around here its bar after bar after bar and people walk in and out constantly so if you slow it people just walk next door and noone new comes in. In places like this your customers stay time is like an hour tops anyway so noones gonna notice the overall flow of a night anywat

That situation sux for the quality and i can see your point. I have respect for Djs that a) have to play at those joints

b) the management must be a total ass wipe

The issues are you have people owning bars that have NO fucking clue. They hire a friend or family member or some broad he/she wants to bang..... They dont want to pay someone that actually has experience and know how to run a bar... because it's expensive. now you have an owner making bad decisions, managers making bad decisions, putting on bad staff --- including DJ's------

it's a domino effect of ignorant shit......

if your fortunate to work somewhere with strong ownership .... hold on to that gig because there are not many around

And no Reggae means dude is just a fuckin' racist.

The issues are you have people owning bars that have NO fucking clue. They hire a friend or family member or some broad he/she wants to bang..... They dont want to pay someone that actually has experience and know how to run a bar... because it's expensive. now you have an owner making bad decisions, managers making bad decisions, putting on bad staff --- including DJ's------

it's a domino effect of ignorant shit......

if your fortunate to work somewhere with strong ownership .... hold on to that gig because there are not many around

LOL exactly. I know everyone remembers all the horror stories of my old residency. Short recap for new comers I worked in a small bar\club in an entertainment district that was in the same building as its competition which was about 3 times the size and quality of the one I worked in. The entire time I worked there I tried to explain that we couldn't compete with that club with the same music because that club was a bizzillion times better than ours so she needed to let me cater to the EDM crowd because NO other venue in our city played it and it was about to blow (this was like 2011). Over and over I got the no we dont need that and week in and out we're booking rappers and playing the EXACT same music as the club next door. Finally I get the OK to go EDM with it and the next week that owners fired and the guy who owns the building hires 2 friends of his who have "experience" running a club. They show up and its a 80 year old guy and his 49 year old wife and apparently their "experience" consisted of the 80 year old guy making a ton of money on a startup and buying his 49 year old wife a hole in the wall bar out in the country. They come in to my area the first night listen to about 10 minutes of my dubstep set and vanish. I get told that night that they dont understand what the hell it was I was playing, it was garbage and if i wanted to work there I needed to focus on music from the 50s and 60s. I threw up the deuces and hit the road.

Long story short that club closes about 3 months later. I get a call about a year and a half later (after EDMs been packaged and commercialized) and I get a FB message from the previous owner saying her friends dragged her to some paint party or EDM festival and she was amazed by how many people were there and starts telling me that thats the route we shoulda gone (IE the route I was saying the entire time). About 6 months later I get a call from the owner saying they are starting it back up and want it to be all EDM now......nope sorry not commin back HOLLLA
Joshua Carl 8:20 PM - 7 December, 2013
well, i sticked to the plan pretty well.
I even tweeted I was DJ Vegetable Lasagna playing radio Disney.

Ive never been so bored.
I got talking to a bouncer, and he was telling me the owner is literally crazy
and as hinted to, racist, controlling...

but I only got two comments all night:
playing "music sounds better with you" (bob sinclair mix)
"so, this is good.... but dont play anymore of this lounge stuff" [[note the time...people were eating]]

playing "Like a prayer"- Madonna, anthem kingz... pretty much a subtle redrum
"this is too clubby"
breaks into the chorus.... oh..... ok.... nevermind.

as promised, heres the playlist.
its probably one of the lamest to date for me.... but Im not one to sandbag the dude who booked me, and at the end of the night the manager said great job, when are you going to be back down here? (NJ)
the owner was ghost by this point.

This is a trend I see i upscale lounges and bars currently...

I was just in a lounge spot last night where the owners group have essentially the exact same format...but they have gone further and the dj's must play off their crates and their crates only....

The way the explained this to me is they want all their venues on the same page....They don't want dj's to come in and play an electro/dubstep/trap/hip hop/reggae set...They want to cater to the crowd that have careers/mortgages...you know real money

As much as I get It..I Don't get it...
Joshua Carl 9:43 PM - 7 December, 2013
Exactly nak.
These dudes own a bunch of places and it's the same at all of them...
To a certain extent

The print out, is new though.

Nope the whole set-up is in house Mac filled with their crates/1200's/57 ...

could you play an itunes playlist..probably but they want someone to beable to mix and read the crowd but "with their selection of appropriate music"

but at the same time ... this owners group have ran some of the biggest club nights in our city and have chosen the right people to select the music so the crates are filled with decent on point tracks for their direction...

All they need is someone to read the crowd and choose the "right" song at the time.

No equipment necessary....

This happened to me a long time ago at a wedding reception:

Drunk guy with unfastened bow tie: "Hey buddy, you played that song already." (I never play a song twice in a set.)

Me: "No way, man. This is the first time I've played this song tonight."

Drunk guy with unfastened bow tie: "You DID play this song earlier; you suck. Go out and buy some more music."

Me: "Let me get this straight. You don't know the difference between 'Jump Around' and 'Insane in the Brain', yet I'm the one who sucks?"

Drunk guy with unfastened bow tie: "Huh?"

Right, and the CONTEXT with which we were "joking" (at least I was) is that they would start selling 'PRE-MOUNTED" Trademarked "Ortofons" on Trademarked "Technics" headshells...

I knew they were premounted on their OWN headshells, but not on Ortofon branded ones.

Obviously the whole "Premounted" thing is crazy enough by itself, but I (and I thought DJ Disgrace ) was taking it a little further with the actual branding....

No, there is a configuration where OM's DO come premounted, but not on "Technics" headshells, but rather "Ortofon" headshells.

This is one of the main reasons I stopped working in Hoboken. Owners/Managers try to micromanage the music and say I couldn't play certain things. I don't like being stuck playing certain things. crowds are always different so the same crap isn't always gonna work. Have to be flexible to adapt to different crowds

Looks like it was written by a former DJ or someone who thinks they know everything about DJing & music selection. I can see both sides of the coin though. Can't count how many times I've seen a guest DJ get hired based on attitude, looks, promotion ability, or hype and then not be able to read a room and hold a dancefloor. They also often don't care about the club's equipment and cause more damage than what they were paid (usually found out after the fact). If most of us actually owned a club and were hiring unknown talent, we would probably be setting similar guidelines based on what you know the room likes and can handle, though nowhere as extreme as that flyer is.

Maybe its a NYC thing but ive NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER been to any party/wedding/company party/xmas party whatever, where the dj did not mix the music. They really just let the song end and play a new one after a tiny bit of dead air??????

I was at a high school prom last year with my girl (she's a teacher and had to work there for a couple of hours before we could go and do "grown" stuff) where the DJ was doing just that. He had 2 dual-rackmount CD players too (this was in NC).

Cincinnati here. If I do anything besides slam mix radio versions at corporate events the honkies freak out and run away. No culture, no taste, Cincinnati is lacking in a large number of characteristics. So short of the dead air part you pretty much nailed it.

So I point to the entire place jumping up and down and screaming, "I DON'T CARE, I LOVE IT!"

Manager while dance floor and bar is rammed - Hey your gonna have to turn the music down and switch up the music
me - why? whats the problem
Manager - Theres too many people dancing - guess he wasn't used to it.

2. I haven't even finished setting up my equipment, I'm half under the booth and someone grabs my ass and says fuck your hot. I almost smash my head but get up and turn around and theres a chick standing there with a great body but a face to protect it:S..I think she was on crack or something... I say thanks and go back to doing my thing and she says can I request a song - I say ya but Im not gonna be able to play it for a while she says ok but I really think your hot. I laugh and say thanks again. 2 seconds later she says can I s your d! (didn't know if you could swear in here but you can figure it out). It was hard for me to do but I turned it down, mostly because she was definitely on some crazy drugs, not that great, I had to dj and she was definitely a hoe lol.

Had been some time since it happened to me, but 3 weeks in a row I had that request everyone ever had as a DJ:

"Can I scratch ?"

Whenever I get this request, and I got to leave to booth (even if only for 1 minute), I put it in internal, just in case they get rebellious and want to do it while i'm gone.

It's just priceless to see their confused face when they play with the discs and nothing happens. Then I got to kick them the f*ck out.

Drunk people, they're funny and sad at the same time...

Only to do it on the wrong side

1 bent the styli completly backwards

2 rammed their hand right into the bend on the tone arm bending it horribly
Rendering the deck useless.

Only to do it on the wrong side

1 bent the styli completly backwards

2 rammed their hand right into the bend on the tone arm bending it horribly
Rendering the deck useless.



I've had that, very end of the night- turned away to put something in my bag. Looked up when I heard the song playing getting "scratched" looked around to find my needle destroyed and some guy trying to barge his way through the crowd to get away.

Last week I had a groom come up and request some old school funk. Alright, I'm dropping Newcleus, Parlament, Whodini, and James Brown - Funk On A Roll. Dude comes running up and tell me to turn this crap off. He doesn't want this stuff, he wants something - you know... funky!
AustinG 4:21 PM - 10 March, 2014
That's like saying play something I can dance too. He wanted that new funk.

This Saturday I'm at the club and this guy is lingering by the booth, peak hour - I messed up by asking him what he wanted. He says, "what's your name?" I tell him my name and he's like, "You're killing it bro. My best friend works for universal, I will pass him your name." Cool, thanks, I appreciate that (puts back on my serato face/headphones and get busy).. He's screams out, "Hey! Can I come back there and checkout your playlist?" I gave him the old GTFOH... They always try to butter you up then hit you with that bull.

So I haven't got this one in a while but a girl asked if she could use the mic after she saw it next to my turntable. I said no. She then come backs about 20 minutes later saying that she asked the owner and the manager and they said it was okay. I said, no again. She didn't get mad or anything. At the end of the night everyone had left and I caught her waiting for a cab. She asked me why I didn't let her use the mic and I told her that the mic is for my use only. At least she didn't trip.

She was polite the entire time

I haven't heard the "owner" or "manager" try in quite a bit.

Usually, I just get stink face from the ladies when I don't take their request. Then there's the odd one that starts raising a storm about how she can't dance to this.

Never had one politely walk away...

Did a last minute party Sat night in someone's backyard. Older type crowd. Some teen girl comes up to me with a sarcastic @ss attitude and a "Wtf" facial expression. I guess she was trynna show off in front of her young associates and said "Hey, I'm not sure if you're aware but it's like 2014. Can you play something from 2014?" After completing her neck roll I told her, "once ALL of those people out there stop dancing, I will play those future 2014 classics". She walked off.

Those people never stopped dancing....

Veteran Bay Area DJ Mind Motion says music became less organic once vinyl disappeared. By nature of the medium being analog and tangible, people had to hustle to get their stuff out. Now everything is 0's and 1's. It's so much easier to produce, share, and broadcast. When volume goes up like that, quality is sure to go down.

I totally agree with his sentiment. That's not to say there aren't good tracks out now, it's just, we have to sift through a bazillion gillion pounds of garbage first.

I've had that among many others, regardless of what they're asking for- always seem to act like it's crazy when you don't have it.


I may have posted this earlier in the thread but something reminded me of it today,
Doing a regular night that I always took my own turntables for because this is what the venue had as the installed 'system'
webshop.cashconverters.com.au
Guy walks up to me at the start of the night, drops a huge bag next to me and says "hey man, I'll be DJing tonight as well"
I'd been told nothing about this so just ignored it until I sought out the promoter to find out if this was a proper thing. He told me the guy had basically asked him if he could DJ so it was fine by him.
Got back to the booth and this guy is still there staring at my turntables..."where are your CD players? I only have CDs"
I told him I didn't have anything and the only thing that could play CDs was the venues piece of crap....had a bitch for a while about there not being CD players and then spent the rest of the night coming up like "when am I going to get a go?, plug that other thing in"

Loved the fact he was incredulous I didn't have the right gear for him to use.
And that he was trying to talk down to me,

I actually only had my turntables that night because another night I got a call last minute because the venue forgot to book someone for a private party. I got there quickly to find they'd replaced their old gear (CDJ100s, nothing special but manageable enough) with that thing I posted above.
Even with the channel faders all the way down on that thing, the track still leaked through so you could hear what was being cued faintly.

The bride filled out all the paperwork for her wedding last night and wrote down that she and her fiancé like 80's/90's music. "No problem" I thought, I got it covered.

Of course I mix it up a bit and throw in some old stuff for grandma, some current hits for the kiddies, but sick to mostly 80's/90's hits. All mixed, all beat-for-beat, the whole nine yards.

About half way through the night, the groom comes up and wants to hear more modern music. He tells me not to play anymore stuff that is not a current radio hit. He also wants to hear "Turn Down For What". Awesome, I mix it in.

Trouble is... everyone in his bridal party, parents, and tons of guests are requesting older stuff like MC Hammer, Salt N Pepa, Bob Seager, and the like. I work one in (mom's request) and immediately both bride and groom come running up to tell me to change it. Here's what the groom tells me...

Groom: "Dude, why are you playing stuff from the 80's yet? "
Bride (to her husband): "Well, we did write down 80's/90's hits on the contract."
Groom (to me): "If it's requested, fine, but no more old stuff. I want current hits... like Sweet Home Alabama and anything from Guns N Roses."

her: its michael jackson and no i want up-beat music
me: WOW....i really dont know what to tell you. (put headphones on)
a few older songs go by and her man comes up and says
him: hey boss can you play something me and my girl can dance to.
Me: really?? you guys cant dance to this??? really??
him: no we cant. We want you to play rihanna so we can dance. this is old stuff and we cant dance to it.
Me: wow! (puts headphones back on)

Sad thing was this couple did not look young at all so i cant blame that they were young and stupid.


You should have played "Don't Stop The Music" and mixed it into "Wanna Be Startin' Something". Wonder how they would have reacted to that. Haha.

there was a short period in the late 90s/Y2k time when Underground dance popped its head into the in top40 clubs.
post Vengaboys/Eiffell65 there was all that Darude, Ian Van Dahl, Alice Deejay, Aquagen stuff slipping into alot top 40 rooms.

and quite a few place would frown on me playing it,
although their concerns were people getting water (duh, charge $4 a bottle numb nuts, not free!)
and people potentially OD'ing and geeking out in the spot.

meanwhile... drunken 10+ melee's, people fucking and puking in bathrooms and more coke going around then Ive ever seen.
but sweet jesus, make sure you dont play zombie nation because all the candy ravers will show up and OD on the dance floor.
(this was a literal conversation back then)

this one happened to my friend yesterday....also an end of the school year gig at an intermediate school.

kid comes up next to him, looks at his console (he's using a simple controller). the kid asks, "so are you using cd's or turntables or what?"

but turns out the kid was just eager to get into dj-ing and just wanted as much info as he could get.

Been there before. A well, formally dressed woman asked for some Hip-Hop. So I said, reluctantly, "what do you want? Nas, Jay, Biggie or Pac?" She was like, "That's all cool but I wanna hear some Tribe, BootCamp, KRS, EPMD." I wanted to marry her as well but her husband was watching in the distance

Did a wedding Sat. night - groom was Hispanic. No prob, I had a few jams that he requested, but I don't know the music all that well (only a few classics). End of the night AFTER last song he comes up with his phone and wants to play one more Mexican tune. I ask if it's actually ON his phone or if he's streaming it from somewhere - you know, youtube? He assures me that it's legit. I told him that if it "buffers" even once I pull the plug and night's over.
I already had my computer off and all the lights taken down. About 6 seconds into the song, it stops... Buffering!
Pulled the plug, "Thank you - goodnight." and shut the system down. Damn Pandora.

No more streaming crap off the internet! That's twice this summer.

Nothing wrong with playing an good quality file off your phone (something you paid for on iTunes or Amazon), but yeah - playing crap off youtube should be forbidden. That's why I asked him first... Dude just didn't know. People these days have really no clue where their music actually is anymore.

It's getting worse and worse for us mobile guys. Many times for weddings and sweet 16s, they request these random cover band versions of these off the wall songs that the ONLY place to find them is on youtube. You tell them that, and they insist that it has to be that version by that particular cover band. Very annoying and happening more and more because people go to youtube for music and just assume that it is widely known everywhere and you can find legit copies of it.

I actually have written into my contract (be it i only do 5-10 mobile events per year) that no non-pre-approved 3rd party devices will be plugged into the dj rig for music playback.
anything that is rare, on cd, cassette or vinyl must be in my hands no later than seven days before the event starts. Also I that I am not "online" and able to play songs off of streaming sites.

do i bend that rule at mobile events, of course i do.....
its more club events where i have the "fuck that noise" attitude, im not going on youtube to play your friends fruity loops redrum of animals with his girlfriend rapping over it.

Last weekend the last mr bigg (of take it to trial and long hair fame) showed up unannounced to my spot, now considering I lean towards videos and dude hasnt had a hot single out since I was in Jr high, I didnt have any of his music on hand. He offered to email em to me but the club has no net access, then he asked to play a song through his phone. Knowing that woulda sounded like shit I told him I couldnt do it (also since I dont usually allow that, I didnt have a cable for it anyways) so no big deal right.....well, lile 5 minutes later my hype man gets on the mic and asks me to cut the music, he announces Mr Bigg is there, then Bigg gets in the mic and does a full accapella performance, like 4 songs worth, making sure to stop between each one to bitch about me not having his music (or a way to play it). He had tje crowd SUPER hype, which was supprising to me considering the general age of the crowd. When he was done he bashed me again and the crowd was pretty much booing me....luckily in 2014 people are sheep with 10 sec attention spans so I just smiled and dropped "cut her off" and the boos instantly turned to a roar of cheers and the whole thing was instantly forgotten lol.

That's nice! Venue the company I do work for is house DJs at, has a ramp but we have to carry the equipment in because they just put new floors down and they are afraid of the floor being messed up by the wheels. So we literally have to carry everything from the front door to the room we are setting up in. Yes, EVERYTHING must be carried.

But yeah, always good to get those kinds of gigs.
The problem is when people request something specific like that, yet have no idea what it is. I've had a few times where somebody has requested very specific genres, then the examples they give (or requests during) are nothing even close to what they 'strictly want'

I haven't played that track forever, but now that it's 'the birthday song' to everyone....do they all just sing the intro then lose interest in the rest of the song?

I've come across a few tracks like that over the years, where people just want to hear one very particular part (maybe 4-16 bars) and will just stand there like they hate the song the rest of the time.


for the most part yes.. but sometimes the crowd will let it roll a couple verses.

So I'm DJ'ing a fund raiser for special needs kids a few weeks ago (my 4th year in a row doing it). Every year I get complaints from one particular helicopter mom about "raunchy music", even though it's her kids asking for the tracks she's complaining about...



This year one of her kids comes up to me with a list of songs and says "don't worry about my mom this year, she's in rehab". First song on his list "Hella Hoes" by ASAP Mob.. facepalm

ROFLMAO...."Rehab"!

So this girl walks up at a wedding last night to request a song. She sees the computer, then looks down at the turntables (as I'm tweaking the spindle for a proper mix) and asks... "Do those things [TT's] actually do anything?"
I proceed to do some simple scratching and a spin back transition. She looked impressed and promptly left - without actually resisting any song! :)

Marcushhh 1:44 AM - 22 September, 2014
At my weekly residency at this lounge and as I just finished a transition a drunk girl comes up and starts doing those air scratches way to close to my turntable.

I tell her to not do that and she has the nerve to say the following...

In all fairness, she has a point. What does it say to customers when they go to festivals to see "DJs" (Producers) on stage behind $12,000 USD of Pioneer equipment that's not even turned on, let alone plugged in; and all they do is heart-hand, fist pump, jump, headbang, clap, knob twist, and "jesus pose"? As far as they know, we just recorded the set last night and are busy playing Solitaire while bragging about it on Twitter (See: deadmau5 - 27.media.tumblr.com).

So tonight I was DJing a wedding where I had to bring the tempo of the track up quite a bit after mixing into it (Land of 1000 Dances - Wilson Picket). As I'm hyping the crowd and sliding the pitch knob up, some girl comes up and stares at me working the turntables. She just smiled and said - "I've never seen a DJ actually do anything except hit play before."

After seeing the pics/videos above, I see where she's coming from. Too many posers out there.

From my experience, most females have little musical taste. They are the ones that will always come up with a disgusted look on their face, and say "can you please play something good?" or "can you not play something we can dance to?". ...this is perfectly "normal" behavior for them, so don't get your feelings hurt.

Doesn't matter how great the tracks you're playing, or how many people are already packed onto the dance floor... They didn't hear it on MTV last-night, or the radio this morning, so it's not "good". If you can actually get a real track title out of them as a request, they rarely know more than one.

Guys, on the other hand... will come up to you once they are feeling the alcohol, and request songs by (insert their favorite Metal band here), or maybe even Merle Haggard... Sometimes I will even loop a beat break section of a track I'm playing, and mix in some of what they want to hear so badly, if it's at all compatible. I've gotten some excellent tips that way.

But on the good side, you will meet some guys that will bring you great requests, and turn you on to tracks that you might never have known about otherwise.

Punter asked for AC/DC so I played "Back in Black" and "Shoot to Thrill" in rock set. He comes back after I revert back to dance music mad that I didn't play any! He wanted "You shook me all night long" which I would usually play but am getting a bit sick of. He refused to believe that the 2 tracks I played were AC/DC. And (this didn't dawn on me til later) they're all on the same album!

On the same night I had the classic drunk girl who is good looking but not as cute as she thinks. She's over after every song critiquing every track until I played a Killers melody Mr Brightside, Somebody Told Me and the "I got soul" bit off "All these things that I have done". Im on the last track when she loses it, in my face telling me I haven't a clue and how she'll make sure I don't get paid, when I lower the sound and point at the dance floor where the whole place is singing along. She goes off to berate her mates for joining in. Good times!

It is never about what I like to play, what I want to hear, or what I am sick of. It is all about what does the customer want. If the requester is nice, even if the song isn't all that hip for the crowd, I will let him know as I do all special request, you ask for it, you dance to it.

When I play it I will let the crowd know the song is a special request.

There are certain songs I won't play even if the requester is nice but I gotta say, if it will enhance the atmosphere of the joint, why not.

I DJ'd at this one place (a sports bar) for about six months, where this one lesbian girl would come in about 1:30 every Saturday night, and tip me $10 to play "what shall we do with a drunken sailor". Her and her lesbian buddies would all get out on the floor and dance to it every single time. It finally got to be sort of a ritual that everyone there expected.

If someone asks for a song that's danceable but I don't think will work and put on against my better judgement and then they sit on their arse. I'd have no problem in pulling it after 30 seconds if no one else is dancing. It's a "I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine".

Doing private parties, from particular people I'm much more likely to play random requests. (organisers, people that are paying me basically) Always interesting when you get a request from someone that you will listen to, only to see them shy away once it starts and they realise everybody else is hating it and they're embarrassed about it.
rayjthedj 2:17 PM - 9 January, 2015
I had an older couple request a song that I thought would kill the event on NYE, Elvira by the Oak Ridge Boys. I was shocked as over 40 people (it was a small event less than 100 people) got up and did a country line dance to it. The group that danced included people from 15-80 years old, including many races. In fact the couple that danced the best to the song was a black couple in their mid to late 20's.

I was using a single ETX15SP sub with a pair of ETX10P tops, I used both in the live mode, with the factory DSP crossover menu settings for the speakers (I think the tops get 120hz and up). I was shocked at how good the song sounded, especially the vocals, the bass singer stood out big time and I got all kinds of complements on the sound quality after the song.

It always amazes me when a request you think will kill the event actually goes over well. I did an all Country wedding last year and dropped in CC Music Factory late in the evening when the B&G had left and the hillbillies went nuts :)
Laz219 2:30 PM - 9 January, 2015
I had never heard that song until a (almost exactly) a year ago- I was on a cruise ship and they were actually teaching people the line dance to it. After that though- I heard it everywhere. Not sure if that was just coincidence or I was just noticing it because I recognised it.
Did you already have the track or?
rayjthedj 2:49 PM - 9 January, 2015
Yes I have a pretty good library from 1950 forward. I have several thousand CDs, and a bunch of Time Life Music Collections that are worth their weight in gold.

I like a lot of the musical content on modern music, I just wish they could clean up the lyric and content, so I can play it. My card says clean music only and I stick to it. The policy has brought me many school gigs and private parties and only lost me one wedding so far, the couple gave me a list of songs they wanted played after grandma left and they were to foul for my business.
Joshua Carl 3:16 PM - 9 January, 2015
I never knew there was a line dance with it!
What's funny is I play it all the time in my open format/rock sets for the comedic value (video set)
And it mixes well with some uptempo stuff for a nice wow factor
Laz219 3:18 PM - 9 January, 2015
I only ask for you to have such a good sounding version, either you had a HQ file already or just managed to find a good stream (I assumed the latter when you didn't actually know the song previously)
Your story actually makes a good point, I'm always in debate on having all files instantly accessible, versus having a smaller library I know well.
On initial listen, I'd have skipped over and deleted that track without thought, but felt fine about doing so because it's not another unknown track cluttering my library.
Yet I'll be the first to admit I've had the occasional request, I've typed into the SSL/SDJ search and realised I have. Sometimes it's only to fill a request but occasionally I end up wondering how I overlooked that track on first listen (which I'd usually think is because some things just sound better on a big system, when I usually preview on my HD25s)

I don't use CDs to play my shows, I have added most of them to my library, currently around 15,000 songs. I have hundreds of CDs I haven't even had time to add.

When I first went back into the business, three years ago, I added most of my library and went out and bought anything I thought I would need off the Top 200 Wedding and Top 50 of all time in most genres (probably spent about $400.00) to get my library where it needed to be. I also purchased a Prime Cuts subscription and bought all their back disc in stock, back to around 2008 (for $3.00 each). I rarely have a request that is not in my library.

The Time Life Collections really cover me for 50's-70's music, and the older country series covers me well. I do a lot of adult dances, people 50 years old and up. They have, by far the most expendable income to pay a DJ.

From my experience, girls rarely have any musical taste. So that sort of thing is just to be expected.

Back before ordinary people even knew what a sub-woofer was (I'm old.., okay...), I designed and built my own 4x12" back-loaded sub-bass horns. Maybe I just got lucky, but they were awesome! (and still are) We would take four of these out, and four Altec A-7 VOTs when we did what we called a "medium" sized show, for highschool dances, etc.

The sound would just be overwhelmingly good, and yet certain girls used to come up to the console complaining, almost every time. They'd say the volume was too loud, and/or the bass was taking their breath away so they couldn't breathe... making their heart stop beating... etcetera...

On the other hand, can't have much of a party without them......

Nope, no 90's music, never play 90's music ever. She got all pissey. I asked her name and she said "Paige". I told her my favourite Page was "Jimmy". She had know idea what I even meant lol.
Your right, guys no problem, even played a George Jones.Over all a great night!
DJ Demolition 2:39 PM - 21 January, 2015
Generally speaking, the only guy that will give you any static will be another DJ (or a wannabe), thinking they can do your job better than you can. Well... and then there are the would-be heros who are speaking for a girl for one reason or another. Of course, club managers (male or female) are another story....
djbigboy 6:42 PM - 21 January, 2015
In my mind, women's taste in music should be pretty much the only thing that matters in a nightclub environment...can a female make a request that's from leftfield occasionally, sure...can they be a little ridiculous? yes....but what would you rather see a full dancefloor full of? And what would mgmt ownership prefer to see?

But if your the hired gun for the night
(Meaning it's not about you, it's about doing the job at hand (and never the 2 shall meet, lol)

A great rule of thumb is keep the women drunk, dancing, happy and abundant.

Save your integrity for when YOUR the show... Some guys have no desire to ever be the show👍
And there's nothing wrong with that at all.

Another move is to pepper in integrity and cheese through out the night.
Kinda of a 2 for you, 1 for me rotation
(Which if done right will boost bar sales)

Certainly girls will come up and request some weird shit you HAVE to just be a dick and say fuck no, for the 8th time I am not playing "all by myself" because your mom had a crush on Eric Carmen and she came out on your sisters birthday (true story)

But some times they have some good ideas, and I'll flip it as best I can.
Examples that come to mind
Ironic- alanis morrisette
What I am- Edie brick ell
Criminal- Fiona apple
Stay- lisa loeb
You were meant for me- Jewel
What if god was one of us- Joan Osborne

Granted none of these tracks are remotely prolific, or a grand reveal to anyone dj'ing these days... Those are soft rock radio standards.
But im shocked how many guys won't play stuff like that in a no-dress code,on tap beer drinking, no dress code havin, meat-market hook-up bar gig.
No ine says you can redrum and tweak them out a bit ;-)

I'd have to disagree there. Guys come to clubs for the women, yes, and for the drinks ...and for the music. ...not spice girls music, though ...LOL

I only remember one time when a girl turned me on to something new and decent.

This black girl used to hang out out the booth all night when I was working, and buy me drinks. She kept on pestering me to play a particular Bob Marley track that I'd never heard. Well I HATE reggae, and the club had a 70's dance music theme, so I kept turning her down. But finally I felt so guilty after all her generosity, or maybe the scotch clouded my judgement ;), but I looked it up in the club's compilation CDs, and played it anyway. Turns out that it's not too bad, actually. Several people got up and danced to it, so I started playing it regularly there.

Of course I had to listen to her say "I told you so" for a while afterward...

I had the "do you have a phone charger" request. And i simply said "no". Put my headphones back on. After about 10 seconds i noticed she was still standing there, she had this certain look on her face as in i cant believe how rude you are. I just shooked my head and ignored her .

When I play it I will let the crowd know the song is a special request.

if it is early or a slow night, I will do that...but if it don't fit or I already played it...not gonna happen....unless you tip well. ;-)

I will say I get less stupid stuff from teenagers as I do from Yuppies. The mid 20-mid 30 year age group seems the most lost on the ability to dance or have any rhythm what so ever.

I continue to be shocked at how many different dance steps people in their 60's can do. They can ballroom dance all the way up to modern dance steps. I had a 80 year old lady, still in tremendous shape and looked more like a 50 year old, smoke all the teenagers and young people at the last wedding doing the Wobble and WOP.

Okay this is long and more for the dj side post (but feel free)...the place I played at tonight I really like the employees and the owner...these are people that deserve succeed...and I like the other djs I know that play there...but, it's not really a "new" music kind of place. So if I am lucky to program a new song in a way that makes sense. But I found a spot and a way to mix it so I can keep people on the floor. It worked, I was proud for like 2 seconds and the lady comes over and is completely annoying...she says "what is this?"...and I said its "Zhu Wasted"...she said something like "what's next" "what's this?" And before I could answer she says can you play R Kelly "Step in the Name of Love"...I said "sounds great"...and I turn around, and she yells "when?"...and then I said "that's a perfect kind of end of the nighter"...and she looks so puzzled, "what is this? play my song nex!t what is this? I go to gay bars in sf" <inside thinking WTH (censored)> and said "I will get around to it a bit towards the end"...and I turned around and I was so frustrated that I couldn't enjoy my song...the sound system at Grant Bar is nice...and I heard the song at NAMM on a really NICE NICE sound system and I was like "Oh I got to hear it there at Grant Bar"...that was a small sample of my night...I must have had 10-12 visits...on the bright side I had a killer 80s set, I sometimes laugh at myself...I love hearing "When I hear music" drops and people scream or when you play Whitney Houston "I wanna dance with somebody" and they all sing the words...anyway, people are entertaining to say the least and believe me, djs have stories...

It's usually best not to play a new track (that no one in the club has ever heard before) completely ...that is, if you want to play it safe...

Just tease them with the intro or the hook, in between a couple of tracks that you already know they will dance to, two or three times per night. Eventually (may take only one time, or a week or two) you will see them reacting favorably to it, and you can just continue playing out the song. They will all think they know it, by then.

The rare times I ever get anyone with that kind of attitude, my standard response is to look them dead in the eye and state "I take requests...not demands".

Actually anyone that demanding is someone I really never want to see in the place again (and if they treat the DJ that way, chances are they're not treating barstaff or anyone else very well...as well as just contributing needless negative vibes to the night), so I'm very unlikely to play anything they ask for.

Last saturday Im playing some early night upper 90s bpm stuff and this girl (it was senior bowl weekend so alot of new faces who have already been partying all day were there) comes up and requests nicki minaj "only". Thats a full left turn from where Im at PLUS its a highly requested song and its to early to play it but I tell her sure later, she proceeds to hastle me about it through my next 3 songs, to the point where shes just standing in front of the booth, hands on hips, mean mugging. She goes and gets her little group of 6 friends to stand with her doing the same thing. Well now im getting pissed so Im thinking theres no way Im caving in here. I just stop the record Im playing, mid song, and I dropped one of my no fail tracks (and for the life of me I cant remember which. ..back that ass up mabye) and all of her mean mugging friends start jumping up and down screaming in joy. The look on the main bitches face was EPIC as if all her friends just betrayed her andim just starrin at her like nah bitch this is MY dancefloor and I just destroyed your defenses with a button. ..all ur bazes belong to me!!!! Her friends drag her out to dance (yup, she inadvertently packed the floor she was protesting) then a few songs later I dropped "only" just to show I owned her to lol

One of the first all-jungle-DJs raves, Jungle Fever, went out of its way to scare off fans of happy rave and fluffy house, theming the venue with tombstones, coffins, and Gothic statuary. But the classic darkside moment in jungle mythology is an infamous inccident at a rave called Telepathy, where DJ Rap unwittingly played 4 Hero's "Mr. Kirk's Nightmare"---a song in which a father is informed about his son's fatal overdose--just seconds after a boy was knifed on the dancefloor.

Quote:
A few months into her DJing career, DJ Rap played at a Telepathy rave. Outside someone was stabbed to death, just as inside Rap dropped a darkcore anthem with the sample, "Mr Kirk, your son is dead". Ravers came up to her screaming, "How could you do that?" but Rap didn't know what they were talking about. The next day the police came round to her house and said, "So you're the DJ everyone hates". Overnight all her bookings disappeared. She left London and sent herself, quite literally, to Coventry. "I didn't come home for two years because I was not welcome," she remembers with little affection. "It took a lot of time for people to get over that."

I'm not sure why you feel that should matter to me..? I have a life outside this forum, and there are lots of threads here that I have not, nor ever will, get around to reading.

Are you (as it would appear) suggesting that my being too busy to read the entire forum, somehow translates to some sort of perceived negligence or irresponsibility on my part..?

As I stated before; especially when addressing someone you don't know, proper punctuation can go a long way toward reducing potential misunderstandings. Or, are you in disagreement with that premise also..?

Seems like a good approach to NOT, by default, presume one is being insulted. Saves a lot on mental strain and anguish. If more people would adopt that simple approach, there'd be a hell of a lot less fights and wars.

I don't exactly follow every forum thread here, and am not one of the most-frequent participants, but I can readily confirm that the "you DJ so bad..." meme has been going on in these forums for years.

As regarding my "presumptions" ...I actually went through the effort of performing a forum search before my initial reply, for (you guessed it) "you DJ so bad". ...turned up nada. Go ahead and try it yourself. Maybe you'll have better luck. :)

Meanwhile, just so we're clear... Apparently it is your own presumption that everyone participating on this board not familiar with any and all "memes", is automatically remiss? So then... the burden of clarification is on the receiver? (lol) Is that what you are saying?

Originally, I wasn't sure exactly what you meant by your remark, so I asked you a question designed to get a response. It worked. You replied, and I got my answer. So we're cool...

But... maybe you don't understand what's going on here... Don't you get it..? They are trying to say that you were totally in the right.

If you had been just big enough to admit that you made a little mistake there to begin with, your whole posse wouldn't have felt obligated to take up your slack and try to uphold your honor. Or more to the point.., this discussion would have been over a long time ago.

@DJ Demolition, I am genuinely curious as to why you have two 116 BPM tracks pitched up to 129 BPM in your profile avatar. Even with the improvements to the "Key Lock" algorithm I still wonder if it affects sound quality.

Also the "you DJ so bad" thread is really quite humorous if you can take it with a grain of salt.

I tell them i don't have it and they argue or complain to me. Halfway through the song they finally realize.

Me: Ummmm ya sure, itll be a few though, cool?

Guy1: Politely walks off to wait

Guy2: Hey play IDFWU

Me: Ummm ya sure, itll be a few though

Guy2: Ok cool

Im mixing into the next song

Guy2: hey when you gonna play it

Me: in a few

Mixing into the next song

Guy2: You gonna play it?

Me: In a few

this goes on every song for about an hour, then turns unto multiple requests for it durring a one song period. Guy is drunk and heated blah blah blah eventually I play the song to get him off my ass.


Me thinking to myself: Man that fucker was such a cunt, why cant people have fucking patience, he wasted his (and my) entire night on that bullshit. Why cant he just request a song wnd go wait like a fucking normal functioning member of fucking society, FUCK THAT GUY.

Hahaha.

They want their song on RIGHT NOW! Not when you are ready for it. What do you know about what to play next? Lol.

At a mobile gig I did a while back...

Going through a rock n roll set, Nob Seger is on...

Girl: Play Birthday Cake next!

Me: Hell no!

Girl: you HAVE to!

Me: Why?

Girl: Because that's what I want to hear. I don't like this kind of music.

Me: (pointing to a full dance floor), They do. I'll try to squeeze it in later. (She was not very happy).

Threw it way later on when I thought I could get away with it, did not go over well. Looked at her and shrugged my shoulders. Fade out of it as I made an announcement that there was still plenty if food left on the buffet tables. Slow song prepared just in case, bring people back out.

At a wedding a while back also...

Kid: (mid teens), Hey! You got any Dubstep?

Me: Yeah.

Kid: Ok, cool. (Whalks away)

Kid: (back after a while), I thought you said you had Dubstep.

Me: I do

Kid: Well? When are you gonna play some?

Me: Not tonight.

Kid: Why not?!? It's the best!

Me: Nope! Not that kind of a party.

He walked away all disappointed, lol. Wrong crowd for Dubstep at this one.
I could have said I don't have any, or didn't bring any 'cause it's a wedding or whatever.
He seemed to be one of those kids with an attitude. For some reason, my slightly mean side came out and I thought this would be more fun than an easy excuse to get out of it.

Dubstep was the worst for requests when it was having it's moment.
The people that requested it to me always seemed to think by listening to it they were music elitists. Even though they were only ever asking for the songs that were all over the radio.

While many people get into DJing as a way to finance their party lifestyle, I would suspect the majority of our readers are in it for the creative thrill and musical challenges that DJing presents. The average party-goer can afford to go overboard and then check out for a while to recover from a serious party binge.

However, if DJing is a life choice, then it’s critical to take the “long haul” approach and avoid toxic burnout at all costs. For some DJs that may mean a totally sober approach, while for others simple moderation could be enough to maintain balance. One thing is guaranteed, partying like you’re on the dance floor is not a sustainable path to a healthy career.

Dubstep was the worst for requests when it was having it's moment.

I agree.

Dubstep is one of those things in life that everyone feels strongly about, but necessarily in the same way. Either you love it or you hate it.

Regarding that genre: - I reckon I'm one of the haters... It's okay for punctuating a mix - but if I had to listen to it all night..... Nah.

I couldn't listen to Dubstep all night under any circumstance. That's for sure. What I also thought sucked for a while was when even a bearable, run I the mill, cranked out, you know exactly what to expect, this song was only put out so we can say we threw something out there suddenly switched over to subset right in the middle for a few bars and back to the original tempo. Just to go with the trend. Ruined the song for sure. WTF!

I don't mind some of the decent stuff, but I found a lot of it just seemed to be ...noise.
What more put me off was all the people coming up and asking for it, like it was some secret music only they knew about...after asking for skrillex.

I like some DUB, just like I enjoy just a little RAP, if you can find something clean. I do a lot of school and teen stuff, and at least most of the DUB artist keep it clean enough to play, wish the RAP artist would clean it up.

I always laugh when I have a teen come up at a dance and request a song that has the F bomb in the title, and they say I want that Drake song with the F word in it. I say how much chance do you think we have of that song coming out of my speakers, then they give me a big grin and say, well I don't really like that song anyway.

Of course I am old, and grew up on Parliment (Mothership Connection was great ,still play the entire vinyl album about once a month cranking in my studio), Earth Wind and Fire, George Duke, Commodores, Quincy Jones, Herrbie Hancock, Barry White and Marvin Gaye.

You're not old...

I clearly remember the debut of the Beatles and Rolling Stones. The first James Brown, Supremes, Sam & Dave, etc. hits... I remember sneaking into clubs when I was sixteen, where they had a live bass man and a drummer to add some kick and dance-ability to the recorded songs that were available back then.

I was already working in the clubs when the artists you mentioned hit the market. That would have been around '76-'77. We didn't call it mixing back then, we called it "changing songs" When we pulled off a good mix, we'd say "man! did you hear that great change I just made..?

I used to remix on a Sony reel-to-reel with a razor blade & scotch tape. ...would take me days, sometimes. Check this one out: soundcloud.com . Now I can do it live, on the fly... lol

"Hearing a new edit, the way it distorted time, was thrilling. Watching these edits play on a reel-to-reel machine, with the myriad of taped-together sections flying by one after the other over the tape heads, was spectacular."

Oh yeah... You'd get a mix just right, and it would raise chill bumps on your arms every time... The harder you have to work for something, the more you appreciate it. Those Latin guys they're talking about, though, they were some of the best... They were a few steps ahead of someone like myself.

I have all the original vinyls they spoke about and showed in the article. Those Shannon tracks are top-shelf cream IMO. I've heard them at least a thousand times, but the lyrics and the musical choreography is so elegantly beautiful that it still almost brings tears to my eyes...

I love a syncopated beat anyway, so I have most every freestyle track ever published, including from remixers like DJ Sharaz.

Thanks... brings back memories.

I used a 3'x5' white plexiglass board, hung on my easel. I'd draw out the whole remix with a wax pencil, by bars and measures, noting what I wanted and where I wanted it.

Then I'd have to lay all that out (audibly) on tape. Some parts, you'd have to do 16-32, maybe even 64 takes, along with a few extra, just in case. next I'd have to carefully isolate all those auditory components, mark and razor them out, one by one.

As I would cut them, I'd take a piece of tape and stick them on the board in the correct location. Some would be very short. Others would be veeeeery long. (lol) Once that was done, then came the painstaking process of taping the whole thing back together again.

You could get fancy and do overdubs, effects, etc... But once finished, you copied ("dubbed") the spliced tape over onto fresh tape. From there, you could use it as is, sell it to a record label, or have it cut onto a master if you had the bucks.

You're right about the off-topic posts, but this thread will never be completely "derailed". Why? Because the topic is so universal to the art. Every DJ has heard at least a few of the classics, and has related stories to share.

BTW, I listened to one of your mixes the other day. I think it was the Cobraconz gig. D&B is not my favorite genre, but if you don't mind me saying so, I really enjoyed your choice of music. Proof that D&B does not necessarily have to be monotonous and boring...

And yeah, I know this thread will "snap back" eventually; I'm thoroughly enjoying the tangent and the "tapestemonials". Only thing that could make it better is if that Latin Kings mix in JohnnyM's link was downloadable. I was vaguely familiar with them (mostly through seeing their names on production credits and this song: Watchwww.youtube.com ), but I had no idea they went that deep...

Yeah, I got it by using streampocket.com; I always prefer to get something better than 128kbps though (although in the case of a tape ripped from the 80's I shouldn't be too choosy).

Heh... looking more closely at the credits on that Nervous release it's not the same guys; it credits Todd Terry instead (who I used to have a slight musical obsession with back in the early-mid 90's which probably explains how I ended up with the song). Guess I should have noticed it was "Latin Kings" instead of "Latin Rascals"... doh!

Yes, good point.

Have you noticed that some tracks actually sound better at 128? At least that's what my ears tell me... I noticed that a long time ago when I was dubbing to tape. A lot of times, (I used the very best tape, BTW) the track would actually sound better than the original. Like a Kodachrome picture, I suppose...

Quote:

Oh yeah... well I guess the term is overused, but it does apply in this case... He is truly "legendary". I couldn't help noticing that all the cuts on that track are super precise, like they were done with computerized precision. Really, that's the worst thing about it, it sounds a little too "dry".

That's true enough. But for the record, I was speaking of 1/4" two track professional reel to reel tape. Even the best cassettes couldn't match that. The quality really was amazing.

lol, you can't fix stupid...

One of my stories:

I was resident at a (very nice) private club back around 1979. I came in one weekend and the manager/owner, pulled me to the side and warned me about some "nasty music" I'd been playing the past weekend. I said, "I'm sorry, I don't have any idea what you are talking about..." Anything that would offend you, would offend me first, so I would never play it. "Well, you did play it!", he said. So I asked what exactly it was, that offended him. He said, "that song where they keep saying 'ahhhh sh!t!'". I laughed, and said "look, no offense, but you obviously didn't hear me play that... you are mistaken. I don't have anything like that". "Well...", he says, " I know what I heard, and if you play it again you're fired!" So I'm like, okay whatever then...

So I'm watching this guy as the night wears on, and I'm noticing that he is still furious because I didn't get down on my knees before his all mighty majesty and beg forgiveness for something I didn't do. Then, later on in that evening, I played Watchwww.youtube.com GQ - Disco Nights. It was a classy song, plus it was on top of the dance charts and people loved it. ...certainly not something you'd expect to get in trouble over.

But never underestimate my ability... About halfway through the track, I see the owner coming up the stairs in a dead run. And I knew there was going to be a showdown for sure, but I didn't know why... Well it turns out that during the break in this song, they shout "ROCK!, FREAK!" several times, and with his hearing, he totally misinterpreted the words. Anyway, he wouldn't listen to reason, so I thought, why not go out in style?

...I laughed enthusiastically, and pointed out that he was clearly in the wrong! That it was his own tortured personal conscience, ...him being a homosexual pedophile, that was morphing the words into something "nasty" in his own "nasty" mind!

lol... Needless to say... from that moment forward, I was 'persona non grata', and he immediately made good on his earlier threat. Oh well...

Getting tired of the Uptown Funk requests?

"I'm not controlling that music and it will change soon as I am setup"...I fire it up, and I play some 70s/80s funk...then they come over and say "can you play that uptown funk you up song"...sure (not many peeps there other than them).... surprisingly they stayed for 3 hours and a couple almost all night, dancing with the young folks...this one gentleman in particular who had to be 70, would dance like crazy when the younger girls screamed to songs like IDFWU, Loyal, etc...I am the first to admit, the place I am at is a little weird...but its the only spot in town so it draws a little bit of every demo...

The conversation thats been killing me recently

GIrl: Play something I can tweak to

Me: Like what?

GIrl: I don't know, tweak music

Me: That means a lot of shit, do you mean tweak like EDM tweak, NOLA bounce tweak, drop and gimme 50 tweak, 2 chains tweak season type tweak, hands and knees not he ground or stand on the wall like an ass tweak

GIrl: I don't know...something I can tweak to

Me: I tell you what, give me a song as an example

GIrl: I doooont knoooow

Me: Seriously, you want to tweak, I'm assuming you've done it before, what song do you like to tweak to the most.

Girl: ummmmmmmmmi don't know

Me: Come on no, any song in the fucking world, name it and ill play it

Girl: I don't know tho, you put me on the spot, i can't think of one

Me: Which is what you JUST did to me and I can't either so keep it moving....NEEEXT

I feel that. One of residencies is right next to the Garden, they call me in in off nights to do post games and post concerts

I've just given up and come to terms with the fact that post concert gig means GREATEST HITS AND MISSES set.

Played this one spot in Palm Beach Sat where the majority of the patrons are white. Monitors blasting and this chick comes up to me yelling and all I could hear was " blahty blah blah n*gga!" and she said it a few times. I was like WTF? No she didn't! So I asked her again while giving her the benefit of the doubt. What she was asking was for me to play "Hot N*gga". I had to laugh because if I was one of those ignorant dumb @sses I would've taken her head off. LOL.

I played a teen event this weekend (boys 16th birthday party). It was all current top 40 stuff and of course all the line dance songs as most of my areas teens can't dance to anything else.

One of the parents comes up and said lets see what kind of response we get if you play a Hank Williams Senior or Jim Reeves song. I smiled and said while I do have a lot of music from those artist and like some of it, there is NO WAY we are messing up these kids party.

Most of my local teens do like some oldschool now and again, like Journey, Commodores, Whitney, Skynard, etc, but not old country.

Just having a clipboard with a request sheet on it hanging outside the booth eliminates most of the issues with irritating people. All you have to say is "Write it down" to anyone you don't want to talk to. It gives you the option of who you want to engage with.

That's what I do also. I put a note pad and a pen out and ask them to write it down. This also gives me an opportunity to compare the requests to the history of what I played. I also use that list to check if I am missing a song that was requested. I don't have to rely on my memory. I make sure I add the song to my library.

I did a bar gig a couple weeks ago (I rarely do bar gigs) and no matter what song I was playing, this dude came up and always asked for a different song by that same artist. If I played Billie Jean, he wanted PYT. If I played Sharp Dressed Man, he wanted Legs. About the only song we agreed on was Time For The Percolator! (I can't even remember the B-side track to that Cajmere record... and neither did he!)

I had a great time and got invited back, but this dude was driving me nuts.

I had a girl trying to look like Taylor Swift come up to request, you guessed it, Taylor Swift.
She said she wanted "Blank Spaces" and I asked her why she wanted me to put blank spaces between the songs and she was so wasted, it was like a "who's on first" routine.
She stood there for a few minutes, then asked if I was going to play it, because "the room would really like it" and she was leaving so she needed to hear it.
I said I would not be playing any of her music tonight and she can leave now!
Wouldn't be surprised if Taylor Swift starts DJing :/

I may have mentioned this earlier, but a good one I remembered recently...

Was doing some kind of engagement/anniversary event.
Guy comes up to me near the start and asks if I have the instrumental of bruce springstein- Dancin' In the dark because he wants to sing it for the couple.
After telling him I don't but I'll see what I can organise...I had a bit of a hunt around and found the studio original acapella.
Guy came back after a while to see how I went, gave him my headphones so he could have a listen. After a few minutes of him trying to sing along to it, he flatly stated 'that is not the right one'
I loaded up the original track and blended them together....it was 100% the same but he still wasn't convinced.
I swear he just had never tried to sing over an instrumental before and without the vocals to guide him he couldn't work it out.

Same as all the people who sing their 'favourite' song on karaoke...yet then have to mumble half the words when they figure out that besides the hook, they barely know it.

it's because the studio acapella has the wrong lyrics =P

The kids all know what it is
Surely some parents.
Maybe a few of the staff.

So what do you do?
Don't play it?
Or play the curse-free version
And when an adult calls you out act all appalled that would suggest such a thing and infer they are a perv porn but job!
"These are CHILDREN!
How dare u suggest such a thing.


That, is actually called "duck butter"
Truffle butter is what 5 star restaurants put on french fries"
D Jay Cee 6:55 AM - 7 April, 2015
Actually, the song is literally about truffle butter; an expensive spread that goes on filet made from truffles. Basically, it's more bragging about money. In the song, Drake mentions "filet with Truffle Butter," so he's obviously referencing the food. Even when Lil' Wayne mentions it later, he's talking about literally putting truffle butter on Nicki's vajayjay before giving oral because he's so rich.

I was thinking the same thing when I compared the two. I figured I'd just have to loop the beginning before the beat drops and release the loop a few bars after making the transition.
DJ Demolition 4:10 PM - 9 April, 2015
It wouldn't affect me, because I mix visually as much as auditorily. Just line up the grids, and you're good.

Looping works, but if you make a habit of it, people notice. When I encounter a track that has an unacceptable intro for one reason or another, if possible I find a portion of the song that I can mix in easily (in this case, the outro or the acapella break), and then hotcue back to the beginning at an appropriate opportunity. Then I make a note in the comment area, so that I don't have to remember what to do every time.

If it's a very popular track that I play regularly, I just run it trough an editor, and make my own permanent edit. That lessens the chances of me screwing up in a live situation.

I could more easily justify a "Clean Edit" of that song than "All Gold Everything" a few years back. I remember at one point, getting a request for it, and just playing the instrumental. Didn't stop people from singing the (dirty) lyrics on their own.

It used to be real bad with "We Be Steady Mobbin'". I can play as squeaky clean an edit I want. They know the lyrics, and will sing them. We would get many a side-eye for that one at high school events.

got a prom coming up next month...I pray I have no issues like these. I am scrambling for clean versions of all the songs I think they will want to hear as it is.

I DJ'd a roller rink LONG ago and I accidentally played the original of Back that ass up when it was still kinda new (about a year maybe)....the crowd went wild and the floor was absolutely packed....a mom came up to me and complained and I said "I played the edited version, not my fault if your kids sing out loud the dirty words"....the club owner backed me up on this one too.



lol! Im glad im not the only person whos used that defense!!! Early in my dj career I was DJing a sweet 16 (with a # of kids under that age) I wasnt originally booked for it but the dj they hired backed out and they were DESPERATE. I explained to the mother, in an attempt to get out of the gig, that im a 100% club dj, I only have club music, and I only have dirty versions ie: im not a role model lol. The mother was like ya I dont care we're cool parents. So I show up and play my normal club set. The kids LOVE it. Tbe mother tells me im amazing because no DJ theyve hired before ever actually got the kids to dance. Well im playing some garbage lil boosie song, which as a grown up I now know WAS very out of line lol, that contained a TON of swearing and someones mom showed up amd flipped her shit, ran up screaming at me to stop playing the song. I just smiled and said ooookkk, cut the music, and every kid at the party, including hers start singing the sing, curse words and all. I just looked at the mom and said "dont blame me, your kids clearly knew this before they got here" and played the next song. Luckily the mom kinda realused I was right and moved on. Looking back at it now, it's one of the very few, if not only, moment of djing I look back on and regret lol

Had a lady hit me up this weekend for a "party for old people". That's exactly what she said. I know she's around 60. I just gave the gig to another DJ since I really didn't want to do it.

It's nice to be able to be picky about gigs.

Getting a list like that from a customer for a unique event like this one is a blessing. You now know enough of what their expectations are. Not that you have to play every one of those songs but you know what exactly what genres & styles to play that will make them happy. A lot different than getting a list from someone full of Pitbull, Lil Wayne, etc...
I look at gigs like that as refreshing.

For that gig I'd also recommend the Hooked on Swing tracks as well as some of the Jive Bunny tracks. Seems a lot of the tracks listed are early 60's Motown & Atlantic tracks. Lots of great music from those eras. You can also throw in a bit of the newer swing music that was popular in the late 90's - Squirrel Nut Zippers, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Cherry Poppin' Daddies, etc...

From my experience I tend to disagree. Usually when a client hands me a list like that I spend days getting the tracks they requested, more time getting tracks of a similar vibe together, then 2 songs in either the person who made the list or someone close to them will complain about the music and its back to whatever I woulda played witjout the list
Logisticalstyles 8:58 PM - 13 April, 2015
That seems to happen every time I do an "Old School" party. I can usually get by the first hour and then I get requests for some modern music.

I did a sweet 16 where the girl was really in to "Civil War music". I'm not sure what that meant, but she used the Last of the Mohicans soundtrack as a reference point, and said she wanted lot's of music like that. Well, I listened to some of the soundtrack and knew immediately that I wasn't going to be playing more than 1 song from that soundtrack or genre. Sure enough the day of the party comes and all she and friends want to hear is top 40. So glad I didn't waste my money on that music.

I think this was part of the issue.

So I did the gig, and when she came up to me, she blatantly told me "I sent you all those songs because I figured you wouldn't know what to play for a 90 year old's birthday."

I can't say I was necessarily insulted. But here's what it is....for a 90th birthday, that NEVER means it's a room full of 90 year olds. That 90 year old is usually the last one standing!! She made it (Soulja Boy voice)...it means that her 70-85 year old friends may be there, but the majority of the crowd is always family, and that will range from age 0 up to her own age. So I knew I wasn't going to be catering solely to 90 year olds, and that it would be more family vibe.

I did like that they gave me some Blues songs to play, because the crowd had some Southern folks and they all enjoyed it during Dinner. But...I knew I wasn't gonna get away with playing that entire list, even just for dinner...so I picked and chose songs. And I hoped they wouldn't be mad that I skipped half the songs. But she told me she was stressed out before hand because I told her I couldn't find a few of the Gospel songs...and I'm like...you really want me to find ALL these songs??? You realize how much time that takes???

So yeah...my main issue was the time and her being inconsiderate about how much I would have to look up...and her just assuming I wouldn't know what to do. AND because I only took it due to it being Church folks, and an early Saturday where nothing else would come up.

I see it different, just because this was Church folks, and not just a random offer.

A lot of us are picky about gigs for sure, I know I can be. And all money isn't good, for sure. But for me, I'm a music head....I can enjoy playing for older folks who actually appreciate music much more than young heads who just want the same "TURN UP" songs all night. I like Mr. Groove and Roy Ayers "Searching" waaaaay more than "Trap Queen" so it's still a win to take a few older gigs every once in a while.

I think most of these people that hand over a library of music for us to play automatically assume that we ALREADY have all these songs somehow. Its like the requester that comes up that wants you to play track #9 off of the 3rd cd of a particular artist, and when you tell them you don't have it they give you the "really???" face.
 6 11:52 PM - 13 April, 2015
I've played a ton of gigs for every age group and just about every type of event there is. What I'm saying is that you gotta use your DJ radar when picking up or passing up on gigs.


Btw, whenever I'm given a list, I will make sure I get every single song that is on that list that I don't already have. This is why I require 2 weeks in advance if there is a list to be given to me so I have the time to get them. Lots of times I already have 80-90 percent of the songs.

Also, I will ask the client to label the songs that are must plays because they also do filler in their lists. I usually play all the slow(er) stuff that's on the list plus songs of my own during dinner then play danceable songs off their list plus songs of my choice. So far, this has worked so no reason to change what works.

Had a new one at a wedding this past weekend...I look to the side of my setup while playing and the woman who performed the ceremony was standing in front of my mic off to the side of my table. She just kind of gave me a dirty look but didn't say anything so I just went back about my business cueing up the next track while the whole wedding party was dancing to Dougie or something...

then I hear the woman scream at me "I AM HERE TO BLESS THE FOOD!" "you can stop this music so I can bless this food and then play again after, these songs go on forever" super holier than tho..just the complete ice grill, lookin at me like I was the scum of the slum..really had to bite my tongue, just crazy because the couple was super nice.

That is a new one. When I do a wedding I make sure they know that stopping the music ever for anything is thew best way to kill any vibe you might have built and very easily ends a party. All activities should be done and over with before music starts. Especially self entitled religious folks.

I hear that! I still do weddings primarily, but I guess I have the personality for it. My buddy, however, does not! He came with me to a wedding one time where the bride made a simple request - nothing out of the ordinary, but he got all bent out of shape and told her off. I had to do instant damage control and tell the bride that he was only part of the "road crew" and not to take him seriously. Got a bit hairy there for a bit, but needless to say my friend does not do weddings anymore.

So wait, you were getting the reception "turnt up" even BEFORE dinner was served??? I could see dropping a less popular line dance song to appease some of the restless or younger guests while playing dinner music or jazz but to start building a "party mode" before they sit eat???

Did they have a wedding coordinator or planner??? - she/he should have gave you cues or a timeline?

They did have a planner, she was actually one of the main ones gettin busy on the floor..she did give me a list and cues during the ceremony & throughout the day but the food wasn't ready when it was supposed to be and people were looking restless...I just went more off of instinct. When I gradually sped it up everyone seemed a lot happier so I just went with it. They ended up pushing dinner back even when it was ready because everyone was having fun.

I slowed it down for dinner only maybe a half hour before bringing it back up. Of the 6 hours I played I'd say over 2/3rds was party vibe. Maybe I was wrong for not asking the woman what she wanted (the planner had told me there would be a prayer) but I feel like she could have been cordial instead of just resentfully glaring at me, which made me not want to engage with her in the first place.

but at the end of the day both the couple and the wedding planner were very happy which was all I was really worried about.

Did a wedding Sat night that went well - over 400 people there. Primetime, a drunk bridesmaid comes up and requests a sappy country song. I tell her "not now, we're in the middle of a house set. Besides that, I'm not a country DJ." Repeatedly, she comes up and demands that I play her song. Finally I play it and guess what... clears the floor. When I finally get things rolling again, there she is with more country requests. As I'm mixing into the next hip-hop song and many guests get off their chairs and join the other 40 guests on the dance floor, she says... "See, you're loosing it. Nobody dances to this stuff." I just pointed to the dance floor with a smirk and put the headphones back on.

Some people won't take no for an answer.

I once befriended a DJ at a bar in a town we were passing through. We were having a great time swapping out on the tables etc., until a member of some small-time local gang appeared and wanted to hear a certain garbage hip-hop track that was apparently very important to him.

Requests turned into demands, and then threats. My guy wouldn't back down, so finally the little banger called in five more of his partners. They were flashing guns and the bouncers were either unwilling or unable to protect my new friend.

As it happened, I had eight of my crew with me, so I reckoned it fell on us to protect the the guy for the last couple of hours and get him out of there safely. We obviously had them outnumbered, and had a couple of weapons between us, enough to let them know we were armed. (luckily) we were able to get the job done without too much of an incident.

DJing can be a dangerous profession, depending on the venue and clientele.

As it happened, I had eight of my crew with me, so I reckoned it fell on us to protect the the guy for the last couple of hours and get him out of there safely. We obviously had them outnumbered, and had a couple of weapons between us, enough to let them know we were armed. (luckily) we were able to get the job done without too much of an incident.

DJing can be a dangerous profession, depending on the venue and clientele.

Man id someone made a post like this and where in canada the RCMP would be all over that shit. Getting warrents for your IP address fidning out who you are and who knows what charges they would find to press on you. We may have a ton of guns in canada, but gun culture is completely different.

I hate taking request from someone who doesn't know the artist/group and song they are requesting. This one lady awhile back came to my booth and says,"hey, I don't know who sings this song or how the song goes, but it goes like this." She is standing there humming it away. Hmmm... Hmmm... Hmmm... Hmmm..., I look at her while I shrug my shoulders and I politely say to her, " I don't know". Later that night she comes back and asked if I'd figured out the song she was humming too. I gave her a dumb look as she walked away pissed. Duhhhh!!!!

The club we were at (and the whole town, for that matter) was about 80% black. The DJ, and of course me and my crew, were all white. Luckily the crowd really liked the guy, because once he was sure he had adequate backup, he began to taunt the gangsters pretty heavily.

Actually it would have been a lot of fun, if it had not been quite such a tense situation, with all the danger and responsibility falling squarely on me... Me and five more of my crew were standing across the front of the stage preventing anyone from climbing up there, and I had another guy carrying hardware, incognito in the crowd just behind the bangers just in case someone actually did try to get a shot off.

Things got pretty intense before we finally got him packed up and out of there... and the whole time, I was thinking that if the DJ (who was already dancing on a razors edge), stepped just a little too far over the line, and accidentally caused the whole crowd to renege & side with the hoods... some of us were probably going to be leaving there in ambulances, if... we were even still alive.

On the other-hand, that pales by comparison with some of the situations I have found myself in. I think the most uncomfortable I've ever felt at any "gig" I've done over the years... was when I accepted a job at a local Klan rally (no joke!). I was about 25, and had never been to anything like that before. So, I thought, well why not... should be interesting and educational.

Lol... take it from me... the boys from the hood with their 9mms look very tame when compared to 500 drunk good ol' boys and lifelong hunters. Driving 4WDs chock full of all kinds of nasty weapons, running around whooping and hollering in the firelight from a burning cross, while drinking PGA straight from the bottle, and firing all kinds of guns into the air.

Imagine trying to cue up Merle Haggard and David Allen Coe amid the cacophony of gunfire, 25 miles from any kind of civilization, out in the middle of a cow pasture. You're running off of a generator, with bird-shot raining down on your rig, and bullets falling from the night sky above, half the time.

There I was... with my long hair cut like a rock star, and clothes to match. I'm sort of a redneck myself, but I knew that to those guys, I probably just looked gay... I KNEW I was TOTALLY out of place there, and the looks that some of those inebriated psychos were giving me, were making me feel VERY ill at ease.

I was certainly glad when it was all over, and I think I definitely received all the "education" I wanted that night. Enough to last me the rest of my life, in fact!

(Just wanted to rant about my past gig)
I did a 50th B-day party over the weekend. The wife had informed me that her husband, whom the birthday was for, liked rock music from 60's 70's, 80's & 90's hair band music along with some 80's pop. Country was ok but No rap and no modern top 40 music. Ok sure. Pay was good since they wanted me for 7hrs!!

There was no place to dance as the place was small and the tables/chairs took up any area to dance. Took some requests as they pretty much fit the programming.

At about the 5th hour of playing all the above i decided to break up the programming monotony and play some Wild Cherry-Play That Funky Music. Saw some couples groovin' and few other couples singing to the song and having fun. I figured ok, i can get away with this and i planned to follow up with some K.C. & Sunshine Band and then return to the regular programming. I figured if they wanted more they would come up and ask for more.

As soon as i started with K.C. and sunshine band, The wife swiftly comes up and says can you cut this disco crap! its driving me crazy! I was stunned but I obliged since she was paying me.

After a minute i was like damn! I played 1 track that i guess she didnt like out of five hours and she flips out! Yeah, I could have pointed out to her that her guest liked it but decided not to. At the end of the night I didnt offer an apology for that track but she wasn't upset and she even tipped me $75. Crazy.....

I'm DJing a bar gig last night from 9-2 am. Around midnight these two heifers walk in and immediately barge their way up to me and say "We don't like this song, when are you going to play something else?" I reply - "After this song."

Same two chics about an hour later want anything by Usher. I play "More" and they come out and dance a bit. One of them keeps coming up to me all the way until closing and wants to know when I'm going to play an Usher song.

I doubt those guys are really in a lot of danger though. Contrary to popular belief, water is a very poor conductor of electricity, ...if... there are no metallic salts present in solution. In fact, distilled (pure) water will not conduct at all. If it did, all the exposed high tension electrical lines would short out to ground, every time it rained.

Even if the water did actually hold a lethal potential, the charge would be uniform, so like a bird sitting on a 5,000 volt electrical line, they'd be fine until they touched a conductor with the opposing charge.

From my experience, if you're going to have a problem with the clientele over music selection, 99 times out of 100, it'll be a female.

I used to do a lot of local proms, homecoming dances, etc., back in the eighties, and became very well known in the area as the guy who delivered the most, regardless of price.

One day a coordinator I didn't know, called me up and said she had heard a lot of great things about me, and that she wanted me to provide the entertainment for their town's folk festival.

I said, "look, I'm a dance DJ... mainly a club DJ with my own mobile nightclub entertainment setup. I don't think I'm really what you want. I have club dance music... not easy listening, or square dance music." Well, no matter... Nothing I could say, would dissuade her. Said she wanted ME because "I was the best", and that was that.

So my partner and I go down on the scheduled date, and set up the whole rig that they contracted for, ...4 CV subs, all the lights including strobes (and this was a mainly daytime gig), etc, center stage ...right on the courthouse porch. Comes time to start the music, and she gives me the go-ahead sign.

Now, I knew that most of the music I was carrying, was not going to be familiar to this crowd, so I figured I'd just get the fact established right from the git-go, that I'd be playing a different style of music from what they might have expected.

I fired up "Music" by Montreal Sound, ...and I guess the combination of the track I was playing, and the audio presence of the system itself, was just a little overwhelming for these first-timers, and they all just stopped what they were doing, and stared at us slack-jawed.

Immediately, the coordinator came running up the steps yelling "SHUT IT DOWN! - SHUT IT DOWN!" I laughed and said "it's just an intro"... "calm down and take it easy... we'll find something these people like". She said "NO... YOU- SHUT IT DOWN NOW! - IT"S AWFUL!". I said, "look, I have a contract for four hours, and I'm going to play until I get paid...!"

She snatched out her checkbook and said "anything - just turn it off!". So I cut the volume, and she paid me on the spot.

Crazy women... An easy 500 bucks though, and the shortest gig I've ever done.

Yeah, I get where your coming from, But I kind of like it, (it grows on you) and I think one of the reasons I do, IS the massive tape editing and sampling.

It was groundbreaking and radical for it's time, and that's why I chose that particular new track for the intro that evening. ...not because I expected anyone to actually dance to it, or even like it.. My intention was to mildly shock the crowd, and it worked beautifully.

I needed to establish the genre, introduce myself, and lay out the game plan. I wanted everyone's thoughts and eyes on me, and that's what I got ...100%! So it served it's intended purpose. Not my fault that "Miss coordinator" choose that exact same moment to loose her faith.

As far as I know, that's the only time I ever played that song at a live gig. It's just a little too avant-garde... I could never find an appropriate place to insert in in a program where I thought people would actually accept it.

I don't remember exactly what I had cued up on the other platter. Probably some light, danceable. top 40 rock track with a good hook. That's what I usually would lead off with back then.

But, you have to understand the psychology at play there... ANYTHING I played after that first track would have been a big RELIEF to those folks, so they would have gladly accepted it, with no problem.

Sure... I screw up sometimes. Anyone who ever does anything at all, will have a certain percentage of failure.

Mohammad Ali won a lot of fights, but he lost some too. The Beatles produced a lot of hit songs, but they had some bombs also. So, I reckon I'm in pretty good company.

I needed to establish the genre, introduce myself, and lay out the game plan. I wanted everyone's thoughts and eyes on me, and that's what I got ...100%! So it served it's intended purpose.

But, you have to understand the psychology at play there... ANYTHING I played after that first track would have been a big RELIEF to those folks, so they would have gladly accepted it, with no problem.

Yeah... I thought it seemed like a couple of you guys were not really clear on what I was saying. But I see you've got it now.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, but like I say, I've made my share of blunders.

I'll tell you how I learned that playing a certain kind of track will get you everyone's attention, and then you probably will want to retract that "respectful" part of your statement.

Remember a while back when I mentioned that I was fired from a great job for playing a new track? Some people here seemed to think that I was treated unfairly by the club. But... I never did say what the new track was, that I stupidly dropped on a packed dancefloor, right in the middle of prime-time, on a Saturday night.

Oh yeah... that song was a real "attention getter". Everyone in the entire club stopped what they were doing, and just GLARED at me. It could not have gotten a worse reception if I had played it to a church congregation on Sunday morning! Everyone was holding their hands out, and I could hear "MAN... WHAT THE *&^$!!!?" coming from all over the place.

See... I thought it was kind of ingenious (the new track) in it's own way, and that the folks there might get a kick out of it. But, I soon found out that those other people didn't share my twisted sense of humor... nor did they have the patience for that kind of chicanery during that phase of the night. So now if need be, you can put me in your "DJ so bad" hall of infamy, with some justification.

In my defense: I was still young and green. However... the name of that fresh new uber-offending track?

"Blowfly's Rap".

DJ Demolition 3:11 AM - 6 May, 2015
They will, if it's a regularly attending crowd. People on average (especially girls) are cautious of unfamiliar music. They're afraid they won't know how to move to it, and they'll be embarrassed on the floor.

You just have to tease them with short parts of the new tracks, until that sound becomes familiar. After that you can play the whole track, and they won't flinch, because they subliminally think they know it. When I was a regular club DJ, I used to do it all the time.

Another DJ taught me that trick.

Soooo, at a bar night playing some throwback hip hop joints, still kinda early on in the night. Already have 3 bachelorette parties on the floor dancing, so its a good start to the night. A lady walks up, hands me a $20, and requests Fireball by Pitbull. Sure, I'll play it in a few songs. I'll build up to it. 3 songs later, her roided out 60year old husband comes up trying to flex and starts yelling. "Do you know what tips are?" "Yes sir." "It means To Insure Preferred Service." "Ok" "A lady came and gave you a tip correct? And she requested a song?" "..." "So play the song" "Sir, I'm building up to it, and actually it's about 2 songs away" "This is ridiculous, you're a terrible dj, play the fucking song now" "Sir, the dance floor is packed, I'm building up to it, I'll play it in 2 songs." "That's bullshit, give me my fuckin money, we're leaving" Bouncers walk up, I gave him his money, and said "Thanks for leaving, have a safe night" Don't need that kinda shit in my spot :)

And at the end of the night, closing down and "Bohemian Rhapsody" is playing. Guy walks up dressed to the 9s. "Hey bro, can you play my song?" "I can't man, we're closing up for the night, and I can't do it." "How much to play my song" "I honestly can't sir, sorry Send it to me, and I can play it for you next week" " How much for right now my friend, $100?" At this point, I'm intrigued. "I can't man, even if I wanted to, I don't have my cable." "$150" "Dude. I wish I could" "$300" "Well, lets see it" ... ...Money is out. Cable is out. Not a bad song either :)

Very true. I won't take a tip that is thrown at me. I usually throw it back.

I have a story that I have posted here somewhere, worth repeating - short version anyway.

I personally wouldn't take a $20 tip from someone, unless I intended to play their request ASAP. Otherwise you could only expect trouble. Common sense should tell you that someone who drops that much change is not going to be very patient.

Thats fuck all and i disagree. Though i do usually tell people it wont be instantly.

My brake down
$5 - if it's a shit song I might not even play it.
$10 - sometime that night
$20 - Within the "set" (30 min easy)
$50 - Next (ish I might need to use a tool or transition track to make the switch)
$100 - Fuck it radio mix that shit, shout out the guy on the mic.

i do the same.

i dont mind taking a tip, Ive pulled a few hundred out of some rich white dudes looking to impress their women with their "DJ Hookup" and if its in my lane.... sure, Ill take your money.

but I always leave it right next to the deck.
if the person is normal and understand their song will come, becuase Ill tell them to keep their money if im REALLY not gonna play it, but if they come up thinking their $20 put them on the NEXT SONG list, Ill hand it right back.

quick story, which i might have told before....

a few years back Im at an ultra lounge during the height of Avicci and SHM.
these and what ever NIkki Minaj/BlackEyedPeas were standard practice on a Saturday.

a girl comes up and asks for The Pretenders, and explains its her friends 22 birthday party about 12 girls strong.
being an 80s fan, and Chrissy Hynde, I entertain it, suggesting maybe Middle of the Road or Chain Gang...

no no no
you have to play Brass in Pocket
excellent song.
but certainly does not fit.

I try to explain it, but in my own error, I say Ill slip in something like this when i do some 80s towards the end of the night.

the next 2 hours she cam up literally every 15 minutes. drunker everytime.
by the 3rd time I had put it in my prepare box.
each time drunker and drunker.... more and more rude.
"fuck these people, they dont care.... its MY friends birthday party, we bought a table!"

by this point I had shouted her out, and Scrolled a happy birthday message on the screens... TWICE! because no one thought to take a picture of it the first time i guess.

long story short, i know tables are important to the bar, and especially a table of girls drinking (which they were.... $$$$$)

they were also entitlted not ready for primetime brats... but of course this was the "not so hot" one.... you know the one Im talking about... goes out 1x a year and its a big deal.

so the final time she came it now peak hour.
I think i might have been playing No Antidote (if that gives you any idea of the Energy)
and she starts screaming at me, threatening me with calling the owners on monday ect ect.

so with that calm (thats so annoying to people freaking out) i tell her to come look at my screen and loaded the track in the right deck (its video, so she immediatly recognized it) and instead of flippin moods she continues to hammer me with insults.
I give her the "1 second, take another look"
and ejected it.
i dont think she knew what that meant until i loaded another track.
i said, you get further with sugar than you do with vinegar.... lesson learned

this was like throwing a match into a munitions dump.
she went literal batshit crazy.... so much so the bouncer came and removed

on the way out every girl in the party was super sweet on the way out thanking us.

I love it when they tip you for a song request and it's already loaded and ready to go - like you read their mind. That's what I call being able to read the crowd in such a perfect way that it defies explanation.

It happens a lot to me - not the tipping part but when they're coming to request a song and I'm about to play it next.

Same here, I get that a lot when playing Top 40/Open Format nights. Had a guy come into the club for almost two weeks straight, gave me $100-300/night because he liked the music, no specific requests ever made.

I swear I had a damn near EXACT same situation happen last Sat and Im trying to figure out how to handle it cause I know itll happen again this Sat. A few months ago this guy comes in and requests rich gang. I say mabye later and forget about it. Same guy comes in the next week, hands me $40 asking for the same thing. I say sure and play it. Dude comes back the next week and asks for the same thing, I play it EXPECTING to get tipped but i gets nada so when he comes back the next week I tell him I need a tip to play it, he says sure, I play the song and of course he dissappears without paying. Well last Sat dude shows up and requests the same songs, since he stiffed me on the last 2 (and I just don't like rich gang) I tell him mabye later, with no intention to play it. He proceeds to come to the booth after, literally, EVERY song with "when you gonna play it!". This goes on for 2 HOURS! Then he just starts standing in front of the booth/middle of the floor with his arms crossed. Whatever. Then we had some local artists come through and hang in the booth and im playing their tracks, trying to help break their records, and dude is flipping out yelling at them that their music is shit and everyone wants to hear rich gang. Then he graduates to waiting for me to begin mixing, walking up to the booth and slamming his hands down on the barrier repeatedly yelling for his song. Now at this point I WANT to have him thrown out but its peak hour, we're past capacity, and security def had their hands full. I cue up the song with a full intention of playing 6 secs, spinning out of it and dropping something else but think that may cause more problems then its worth so I just play the song and he happily walks off. Im trying to fig out how to handle it this sat cause I know itll happen again. Dude was literay blowing off girls trying to dance with him for 3 hours just to get on my nerves and bitch

Sounds like dude is your new boss... Don't you have any bouncers in that joint? I promise you that by this point, if no one else had volunteered, I would have already tripped, vacated the booth, and be on my way out the door, dragging him by his collar. Time for an attitude adjustment!

Right now, he thinks you're an easy target. The first thing you need to do, is remove all "Rich Gang" from your library, so you can't break weak and play it again.

Second, hopefully you have a manager and at least one decent bouncer there that will cooperate with you, so tell them what's up, and to keep an eye out for trouble.

Third, when your friend shows up again requesting... stay cool. Tell him to keep moving... he owes you money. (only I wouldn't say it quite so nicely) (If you can't avoid a problem, then at least make sure you are in control.)

So now you are in charge again. Next move is his. If he pays you, you're back in the saddle. If he bucks on you, have him thrown out, even if you have to do it yourself... Your rep is everything. There are worse things than getting bloody if it comes down to that.

Same here (6'4"- 240). The trick I use on girls when nothing else works, is to goad them into overreacting. Once they start acting crazy, the bouncers will toss them out.

lol, debatable. The way the booth is set up my equipment is in reach and all it would take is an angry dude with a chip on his shoulder to knock something over and set me back a few grand and a shit load of time so I have to pick my battles wisley.



just tell mgmt and security before hand. the first time he comes up say that the owners saw him on the cameras(whether you have cameras or not) and they requested that you not play any of his requests or he'll be removed. or something to that nature. gotta nip it in the bud, bud

Now at this point I WANT to have him thrown out

Sounds like dude is your new boss... Don't you have any bouncers in that joint? I promise you that by this point, if no one else had volunteered, I would have already tripped, vacated the booth, and be on my way out the door, dragging him by his collar. Time for an attitude adjustment!


Ya, we have some great bouncers but at them moment I had no way of really getting one, my MC had the mic and was running all over the place and the bouncers themselves were busy as fuck. We were super packed (think 500 people in a building built for 75 and 5 securitylol) and I felt that unless something REALLY started to pop off it would be shitty to pull em from what they were doin

It's awkward in a lot of ways. Hard to find (fashion) clothes that fit. Hit your head on low door frames. Hard to get in and out of Corvettes, especially the early models. But if you've always been that way, it's all you know.

It's nice at times also, but if I had a choice, I'd rather be about 2" shorter.

Ya, the booth in this place is dope but its right in the dance floor. I always stack a few chars by the entrance because if i don't people start coming in and loitering and drunk girls are harder to get out of the booth than bed bugs. It always amazes me because ill hear a commotion while mixing, turn around, and it'll either be some dude trying to move all the chairs to get in or a drunk girl climbing over them to request something. Its like dude clearly the stack of chairs locking in by a sideways stool with a note that says STAY OUR is a hint that you aren't supposed to be back there.

Something about that song bugs me ever since!


It's 'catchy' and definitely danceable, but has no artistic value and no 'soul'. It's hyped manufactured 'formula' music. Just like 98% of what passes for "Hip-Hop" these days, it's junk music, comparable to "junk" food...

OMG - last night - playing at a 30 & up older crowd Bar - it's early and empty - chick who's already on the way to drunk comes up...

Chick: do you take requests?

Me: sure - since it's early...

Chick: ok - I got a couple - play Lucky by Pharrell. Also play Rick Ross - Around the World. And there's another song - by that short rapper with dreads and the grill *she motions putting a grill in her mouth")

Me: I say who?

Chick: You know - short, darkskin - dreads - and he's got a grill (motions again), He's hot right now - name me some rappers that are hot right now and I'll let you know...

Me; Blank stare.... Ok - forget the rapper - how does the song go - sing some of the lyrics....

<All the time - I am playing a tune that is 130-ish and I slowing it down for the break so I can blend in Daft Punk - Get Lucky pitched up from 120>

Chick: mutters it's goes Dah, dah dah dum... It's hard 'cause you got music going! I can't....

Me: Ok - you think about it (as i blend in her "Lucky" song.... I ask her is this your Pharrell song - ???

Chick: she stops and listens... No that's not it???

Me: Ok??? I say: go sit down and think about the other song by the rapper - let me find your Rick Ross

I figured she wanted Lloyd - All Around the World so I drop it in (plus I hate that fuckin' Get Lucky song) and I see her run to the dance floor once she catches the lyrics on the Lloyd. She stays out there dancing for a few more songs and then comes up again...

Chick: Do you have Jocelyn Brown - Party???

Me: I don't think Jocelyn Brown ever made a song called Party - go back and think of the song by the rapper....

Luckily she didn't bother me again. On my way home - I figured she was talking about Lil Wayne <still laughing at the grill motion> so the Rick Ross aka Lloyd song covered that.

I also guess she wanted Happy by Pharrell but how can you fuck that up with Lucky? It was a HUGE and I hate that song MORE than the Daft Punk....

Thanks buddy, it gets the job done. When you are as old as me, you need those big screens. Also useful if you need to keep an eye on a particular part of the room; just bring along a remote controlled camera, and you can switch to the cam view when needed, or even watch a movie in between mixes if it's a really boring night.

Haha..! Yeah... that's assuming you actually have "decks".


I'm getting too old for this. Last night I really had to work for my money. Did a private party of around 80 people, mostly middle aged. But it was one of those nightmare affairs where everybody has different tastes, and you just can't seem to please anyone without making someone else mad. Then to make it worse, it seemed like half of them just wanted to talk, and would have been happy with quiet elevator music, while the other half wanted to party.

I was searching though the tracks all night, trying my best to keep something going, but I was lucky if I could keep a half dozen people on the floor at any one time. So there I am struggling along, and as if things aren't bad enough, up walks some 40YO guy wanting to hear Sweet Home Alabama... I said 'are you kidding?' He's like; "no man, that's what we want to hear." I said 'look, give me a break here... I'm having a hard enough time as it is.'

Well, he wouldn't take "no" for an answer, and just kept on at me about it, so I asked him what it was worth to him. I figured that would get rid of him, but he pulled out a twenty, and I thought what the heck... after all, it's twenty bucks, and no one is dancing anyway. So I told him to give me a few minutes and I'd get it on for him. Well I managed to get a rock genre established by mixing into Aerosmith - Train Kept a-Rollin, and picked up a couple more dancers off that, then I tied Skynnard on to it's tail, while explaining that it was a special request... and lo and behold... would you believe before the song was over, I probably had 30 people on the floor... the most I had all night. I stayed in that genre for a while with good results, and the next time dude came back by the booth, I just gave him his money back... probably should have given him an extra twenty...

Then a couple of hours later, some girls came in late. I was playing Sound Factory - Good Time, which although dated, I consider to be a pretty good track. Anyway, the 'leader' of the pack came up and wanted to know 'what was that "garbage" I was playing'... and 'did I not have something "good" that they could dance to'? I thought oh-no! Here we go again...

I said; well, what do you want to hear? She says: "I don't know... just something good!" I thought: yep. this deja-vu is definitely on the road to nowhere...

But then I had an idea... I thought, why not have fun with this? So I said, 'I don't know if I have "something good".., let me check...' I did a quick search of my database for "something good", and one track in particular stood out to me: Utah Saints - Something Good (Van She remix). I was like, yeah, well at least I'll play something that I like, because I didn't figure I could ever please her anyway. I wink, and tell her 'yeah sugar.., I gotcha covered, okay?'

Well the BPM was perfect and the two tracks mixed pretty well. So now she's asking:"what is that..? I say: '"something good"... what you asked for...' lol Well, she's standing there looking at me stupidly (as I had expected), but then, when the vocals started, apparently she was familiar with the original track! Now she's suddenly all smiley, exited, and yelling; "oh, I love this song!" I couldn't help losing my composure and laughing out loud, when her and her buddies ran out on the floor and started hopping around like rabbits to the track..! Lol. What a life...

DJ Reflex 3:29 AM - 8 July, 2015
iTunes probably tagged her favorite Barbra Srteisand song as "classic rock" when she downloaded it. People know just about as little on genres these days as they do what decade a song came out. They just go with what the popular label shows. I get songs all the time that are labeled "rock" or "electronic" that have no business being in that category.

I'm not saying the girl wasn't an idiot, but if she didn't know, it could be because of the improper labeling.
 6 4:00 AM - 8 July, 2015
She was at least 50 years old I'm guessing (more like an old lady vs a girl). You'd think she would know what classic rock is and what isn't.

Can't imagine too many self respecting DJs carrying around Streisand tracks with them. Did Streisand ever record anything worth listening to? I don't personally remember anything at all...

Okay, well I suppose that does qualify, even though she had to have help from Donna Summer.

You obviously couldn't call that "Classic Rock" though. It's the kind of thing you might have heard in a gay bar. lol

I remember them playing this when I was partying at the Limelight Disco in Atlanta. It wasn't strictly "gay", but the owner (Peter Gatien) and many of the customers were certainly of that persuasion.

So starting up a Sunday Funday, at a pretty popular area out in Huntington Beach. Told by managers to keep the music clean enough because during the day it's still an open restaurant where plenty of families still come in, with kids obviously. Kinda expected the "Let it go" requests... nope.. Mom's coming up to me asking me to play Ain't No Fun, and all the new stuff like Fetty Wap, Tyga, etc. I played clean versions of the not so popular songs from today, some I'll admit were borderline obscene, but again, the MOMS wanted those tracks.

Make sure you keep a request sheet and make them write all requests down. This way you have some ammunition when talking to Mgmt. about the music selection, let them see what is being requested.

I've found a way to get (some) people to stop annoying the crap out of me with their requests. You know the type, they come up and want you to play a song but they have no idea of the name of the artist, the name of the song, or the correct lyrics. They say "the song that goes blah blah blah". I say to them "you have a smart phone, right? Then go Google the lyrics until you find the correct artist and song title and come back once you've figured it out." They either don't come back, or if they do come back they actually have the correct artist and song title and I don't have to spend 5 minutes trying to help them figure out their so-called favourite song. Btw, if it's your "favourite song" then you should at least know the name of it and who sings it!

Well some people see the DJ almost as a kind of god, and they tend to get tongue-tied when they approach you.

They probably knew what they wanted to say, but when they're standing before you, their mind goes blank, and the words just come out wrong. I always try to give that kind a break, when I can.

Of course, then there are the jerks that just waste your time...

Sir, if thats true you and I play for completely different crowds

I've no doubt that this is true.

You have mentioned something similar in the past, and in response, I can only say that If you aren't getting the respect that you feel you deserve, you are at minimum catering to the wrong clientele, and/or you're in over your head in one respect or another.

Another thing that grinds some DJs down into obscurity, is being totally dependent upon their gigs for income. If you work four days a week as a DJ, within a reasonably short period of time, you will inevitably become burned out and out of touch with your crowd regarding the music itself.

Too much of a good thing, is a bad thing... Even at my peak, I purposely only worked six months out of the year, so as to give myself time to get re-acclimated to the average partyer's taste. Now days, I only do about 15-20 gigs per year. I pick the ones that I want, and yes I get plenty of respect - as a rule.

None of my business, but maybe you should consider breaking out of the rut you seem to be in. No one I know has ever gotten rich working as a DJ. If you're not having lot's of fun, and gleaning satisfaction from your gigs, I'd consider another more lucrative and rewarding line of work as my main occupation and primary source of income.

I was looking for a "Whack DJ" thread, but this one will have to do I guess. Friday/Sat night I set up lights and lasers for an EDM show here in town. Headliners were Bad Boy Bill, Mixin' Marc, and Porn n' Chicken. The opening DJ shows up wearing a homemade mask of strung together beads. Looks like something he made in 3rd grade art class. He throws in his flash drives and starts jamming. It quickly became clear that he had no clue how to mix. He just waited for one lengthy trance song to end before fading into the next one. He did quite a bit of jumping around, arm waiving, heart hands, and Jesus poses though. At least his priorities are set right!

Thats begining to become common place. Im going to piggy back a story on to yours. They just staters a new EDM Sunday weekly in my city, decent turnout for EDM (I live in a hiphop\live music demographic). One of the regulars was a pretty legit glove show artist. Well one night he goes to the after party with some DJs and one of the DJs shows him the BASICS of how to DJ, just basic this track goes here and this track goes here and heres the crossfader kinda stuff. By wednesday of that week he's blowing up the even website asking to be placed on next weeks lineup. No response. That Sunday he shows up and piggy backs on the DJ who taught hims set. Crowd goes nuts cause everyone thinks its cute. That Monday he runs down to guitar center and picks up a new controller and starts flooding Facebook with pics of him on it. Then he's advertising for some hotel party thats he's spinning. By the next week he is on the events Facebook page demanding that he gets booked for an hour long solo spot on the next event. He's told that he's welcome to show up at 7pm (the party goes from 7pm to 3 am with 7-9 being open tables for anyone who wants to try out or just goof off). Dude gets ENRAGED and throws a temper tantrum saying that he refuses to play that early because none will be there and that would be a "discredit to all the hours he put into learning". He's casually ignored. Next week goes by and he makes a Facebook petition demanding that all of his friends sign it so that he can play a headliner spot. He's quickly told by the event organizers, as well as other DJs, that he simply is not ready for that position and, once again, that he is welcome to play the open tables slot like every other DJ did to get into the rotation. He then goes on a huge Facebook rant about how is a natural at DJing and the only reason he is not being booked is because all of the older DJs are hating on him and jealous. He then goes on to explain that no other DJs are as passionate about this as he is and that he refuses to open because he did not get into DJing to play to an empty room....he got into this to play for people (mind you this is week 4 since the day he touched his first table). Finally he plays the opener slot and gets on Facebook posting about how he needs to remember to beatmatch and also not accidentally his the pitch control. A few DJs point out that these are little reasons why he is not ready to headline....argument ensues....and finally everyone, dis, friends, promoters, all tell him that he fucking sucks and he's being a total dick. Dudes still doing hotel partys I think. I feel this shit show will go on for a while.

One of my favorite lines of his had to do with the payment plan of the show. The way it works is 3 of the 4 Sundays there is no cover and everyone plays for free, the on the 4th they find a headliner and let the people who did the best open and they get to split the door, They do it like this because most of my city does not even like EDM and none comes out on a sunday so to have a crowd they can't really use a cover and no cover means no pay. Well on week 2 this kid decided to hop up on his soapbox and boycott the show (coincidently after he was told he couldn't be a headliner) because they would not pay him. Now Im thinking, way to go buddy we need more noobs like you! Then he proceeds to say that is all of the attendees were charged a dollar then every DJ could walk out of there with $10!!!...................sigh. I may post this kids sound cloud later.

Another thing that grinds some DJs down into obscurity, is being totally dependent upon their gigs for income. If you work four days a week as a DJ, within a reasonably short period of time, you will inevitably become burned out and out of touch with your crowd regarding the music itself.

Too much of a good thing, is a bad thing... Even at my peak, I purposely only worked six months out of the year, so as to give myself time to get re-acclimated to the average partyer's taste. Now days, I only do about 15-20 gigs per year. I pick the ones that I want, and yes I get plenty of respect - as a rule.

None of my business, but maybe you should consider breaking out of the rut you seem to be in. No one I know has ever gotten rich working as a DJ. If you're not having lot's of fun, and gleaning satisfaction from your gigs, I'd consider another more lucrative and rewarding line of work as my main occupation and primary source of income.


Ehhhh, I have a day job but as far as leaving a gig to take a break....thats not an option in my area. Theres only a handful of spots and they do not rotate DJs, if one spot closes the next one just hires on the one from the last one. The DJ who I replaced had been spinning in this city (at the same 2 spots) for like 20 years. He quit to go try to do something different and he hasn't gigged on about 2 years while Ive been working 4 to 5 days a week straight since the day I replaced him. Other that me the same DJs have been playing the same spots for about the last 10 years or so.

I was looking for a "Whack DJ" thread, but this one will have to do I guess. Friday/Sat night I set up lights and lasers for an EDM show here in town. Headliners were Bad Boy Bill, Mixin' Marc, and Porn n' Chicken. The opening DJ shows up wearing a homemade mask of strung together beads. Looks like something he made in 3rd grade art class. He throws in his flash drives and starts jamming. It quickly became clear that he had no clue how to mix. He just waited for one lengthy trance song to end before fading into the next one. He did quite a bit of jumping around, arm waiving, heart hands, and Jesus poses though. At least his priorities are set right!



Thats begining to become common place. Im going to piggy back a story on to yours. They just staters a new EDM Sunday weekly in my city, decent turnout for EDM (I live in a hiphop\live music demographic). One of the regulars was a pretty legit glove show artist. Well one night he goes to the after party with some DJs and one of the DJs shows him the BASICS of how to DJ, just basic this track goes here and this track goes here and heres the crossfader kinda stuff. By wednesday of that week he's blowing up the even website asking to be placed on next weeks lineup. No response. That Sunday he shows up and piggy backs on the DJ who taught hims set. Crowd goes nuts cause everyone thinks its cute. That Monday he runs down to guitar center and picks up a new controller and starts flooding Facebook with pics of him on it. Then he's advertising for some hotel party thats he's spinning. By the next week he is on the events Facebook page demanding that he gets booked for an hour long solo spot on the next event. He's told that he's welcome to show up at 7pm (the party goes from 7pm to 3 am with 7-9 being open tables for anyone who wants to try out or just goof off). Dude gets ENRAGED and throws a temper tantrum saying that he refuses to play that early because none will be there and that would be a "discredit to all the hours he put into learning". He's casually ignored. Next week goes by and he makes a Facebook petition demanding that all of his friends sign it so that he can play a headliner spot. He's quickly told by the event organizers, as well as other DJs, that he simply is not ready for that position and, once again, that he is welcome to play the open tables slot like every other DJ did to get into the rotation. He then goes on a huge Facebook rant about how is a natural at DJing and the only reason he is not being booked is because all of the older DJs are hating on him and jealous. He then goes on to explain that no other DJs are as passionate about this as he is and that he refuses to open because he did not get into DJing to play to an empty room....he got into this to play for people (mind you this is week 4 since the day he touched his first table). Finally he plays the opener slot and gets on Facebook posting about how he needs to remember to beatmatch and also not accidentally his the pitch control. A few DJs point out that these are little reasons why he is not ready to headline....argument ensues....and finally everyone, dis, friends, promoters, all tell him that he fucking sucks and he's being a total dick. Dudes still doing hotel partys I think. I feel this shit show will go on for a while.

One of my favorite lines of his had to do with the payment plan of the show. The way it works is 3 of the 4 Sundays there is no cover and everyone plays for free, the on the 4th they find a headliner and let the people who did the best open and they get to split the door, They do it like this because most of my city does not even like EDM and none comes out on a sunday so to have a crowd they can't really use a cover and no cover means no pay. Well on week 2 this kid decided to hop up on his soapbox and boycott the show (coincidently after he was told he couldn't be a headliner) because they would not pay him. Now Im thinking, way to go buddy we need more noobs like you! Then he proceeds to say that is all of the attendees were charged a dollar then every DJ could walk out of there with $10!!!...................sigh. I may post this kids sound cloud later.

There is so much awesome in this post!!!! I wish this kid tired shit lik that in m area.... He would have had everyone of is social pages just destroyed. Kid would have been drive out of province if he ever wanted another gig ever again.

Oh this kids a gem. he hit me up about an hour ago asking why I didnt like him. That confused me since ive never really spoken to him and have avoided adding my 2 cents to the circus. He then posts a screen shot of a DJ railing on him (and by railing I mean simply being honest) and where I liked the comment. I tell him I have no prob with him I just appreciate someone being so honest, and he replys with "Oh ok. I thought you were agreeing with him. We both know nothing he said was true"

.....sigh...didnt have the heart to correct him

I find it hard to beleive yet beleiveable at the same time. Sometimes you just dont want to get into the middle of a car crash asbad as that.

And of course he assumed you didnt like him, I'm sure he sent that same message to every dj in town trying to figure out who really hates him. We have someone like this locally. But she has a dedicated fan base, and some how always has the most epic drama going on at least once a month that requires 5 page long FB posts to clarify her position.

This same event went through several sound technicians before the owner of the club settled on the absolute lowest bidder for the show. Two days, national headliners (Bad Boy Bill being one of them), and promoted to the hilt. Needless to say, the sound system was not up to par for what this event called for. Not necessarily the sound guy's fault, as there were some serious power issues (circuit overloads, generator problems, and the like).

Now back to another prima donna DJ... One of the bigger acts (not saying' who) comes in 10 minutes before his set and wants to talk to me - the lighting guy. "Are these your projectors and lasers?" he asks. "Yup." Well, they need to be moved for my set and you'll have to run my visuals on a larger screen. I want the crowd to see my logo." I tell the dude that the lasers are set and calibrated for the area (outdoor events need FAA clearance) and the projector screens aren't going anywhere either. I ask him what format his videos are on... DVD, MP4, what?!? He has no clue. I open his flash drive that he hands me to find some random file extension that neither Mac or PC recognizes. Now 3 minutes before his set and he is demanding that we rearrange the entire stage for him and get his logo in lasers!
I politely tell him that he needed to get me these file weeks ago - not 10 minutes before his set. He is pissed!!! With all the power issues we had and voltage cut-outs, I had to turn off the projectors and lasers anyway... just for an hour or so! ;)

Yeah... well naturally you'll have to follow your own course. Back when I was heavy in the game, I had a partner. Whenever I would take off, he would take my place, and vice versa. But whenever we felt like it, we would team up together, sort of like you and your "MC" I suppose.

We did a lot of mobile work too, and with the bigger shows we always had to work together, due to the massive amount of equipment that had to be dealt with. I know most DJs are loners, but working with a partner gave me a lot more freedom and versatility than I would have ever had trying to do it all on my own. And always having someone to share the good times with, I think I had a lot more fun as well.

kfc and reality porn chicks? get real. you can go to any teeny bopper after hours and get that every weekend.

pornstars, actualy good looking women, pro athletes, hi quality food, and 400$ bottles of champagne is a regular thing over the last 10 years. step your game up man.

i'd gladly give all that up for a crowd that liked house and danced though. all that stuff is empty. i guess there was a time i really cut for it though.

Mr. Goodkat 1:34 AM - 15 July, 2015
i just dont understand why you would care about chicken and porn stars. arent you supposed to want high quality music, high quality sound, and a great club. and if your crowd dances to what ever you play you dont have a very discerning crowd.

dont you do weddings? and like open format club djing? you play classics that anyone gets and can dance around too?

thats not the end of where many people came to dj. i came from the mind set and era that someone is playing the best music at the dopest space with great sound. which really isnt for everyone but still. i get you guys, but being mcdonalds is what i became because of the money, not becuase thats what i wanted or respected. at least i wasnt dreaming about playing at the best places with hot chicks and free everything.

The chick with the angle grinder scared me a little. The first thing I was concerned about was the electrical requirements for such power tools. We already had enough problems with the generator - I didn't need the whole show to zap out when she fired this thing up. Second, I was legitimately concerned for her eye safety! She had sparks blasting in her face with no eye protection whatsoever. One stray metal shard and it's all over. Third, she was shooting sparks all over the sheer screens we set up for video projection. I was worried a bit that they would burst into flames and set the whole stage on fire.

I guess "performance acts" like this really don't need to concern themselves with safety details. As long as everyone is drunk, horny, and pumping their fists in the air on every bass beat, it's all good.

DJ Demolition 6:13 PM - 20 July, 2015
I can only speak for myself, but I think everyone has experienced this. You will usually get it from the females, because unlike males, whose attention is usually focused on the girls and the music, the females are busy chatting with their friends about something totally unrelated to what is currently going on around them at the moment, least of all the music.

What happens is that while they are talking, you are playing tracks by a given artist, and although they are consciously oblivious, this is being faithfully picked up by their subconscious. Subsequently, it slowly filters up into the conscious mind as a feeling of something they missed -- like a 'hunger' of sorts.

They are then motivated to make their way to the source of the music (the DJ), who they hope will act on their requests, and satisfy their perceived 'need'.

I've been aware of this phenomenon for a long time, and I've learned to use it to my advantage.
Dj-M.Bezzle 6:37 PM - 20 July, 2015
I had a Doosey this weekend. Playing to my sausage party of a crowd doing my best to get some females to do something other than look totally uninterested. They were all acting like their parents forced them to be in the club and were waiting to be picked up, standing there arms crossed actin booszy. So I run through my pop rnb ish, nothing, then some classic sure fire get en on the floor tunes, nothing, threw about a half hour of new ratchet twerk....nothin, just a floor full of females starrin at me like I just got theor lunch order wring. So finally im like aight im wasting my time on the females let me get the dudes into this. So I go in on my ultra hood turn up shit and about half an hour in all the dudes are singin along and bouncin and whatnot. So one by one girls are commin up bitchin saying to play something for them. Finally I have a group of like 8 females bitchin (small venue so this is a sizable population of the girls in attendance) and im like look ive been trying to get yall off the wall for like 2 hours, what do yall wanna hear?! They proceed to list off songs, almost in order, of EVERY song I played in the first two hours. I tell em I already played those and they go on to tell me that they know they loved all the songs.....they just didnt wanna dance then and noone else was dancing but they wanna dance now so just play all the songs over again......

As entertainers we are in a position of influence. You can pick up a lot of bad karma if you knowingly participate in steering innocent or impressionable people in the wrong direction.

People don't like to hear it, and I don't want to sound too prudish here, (Lol, I'm certainly no angel ...not by any means). But I have my own standards, and I'm not about to sell my soul for the petty money or other little perks that we receive as a DJ.

There's a lot of music that I just refuse to play, either because it's plainly subversive. or it's just garbage, absent of any intellectual or artistic value. Same with the video. There are tracks that I'll play, but I won't play the video that came with them. I just make my own.

Nope. No such thing.

Either way, just teach those you come in contact with the right way to do things. They'll appreciate you in the future.... maybe. lol

I try to play censor only when it's a young crowd (high school/college) where you generally have to exercise discretion anyways.

For 21+ clubs I try to to keep it tastefully dirty (room depending) videos like Brazil and bounce that are literally 3 minutes of tits and ass. I'm not going to live there.

High School kids, I absolutely Agree, College kids can drink here. Most provinces at 18. Video's like those 2 you posted got lots of play from me when they came out. Especially early in the night when theirs just a few people standing around and wondering if they are going to leave or not. Sexy video's will keep dude those 2 or 3 songs longer and help build a base.

Moment For Life wasn't bad, but as far as any recent Beyonce... nothing worth playing. Just my opinion on two pop stars that I personally can't stand. It's their music, their videos, their entire vibe that smells like last week's moldy leftovers.

As I say, there is just some garbage I personally won't play. On the other hand, the tactic you are describing here, is certainly good when viewed from a strategic standpoint. A good DJ is always above his crowd on a psychological footing. I.e., ideally, they follow your lead - not, vice versa.

Right. A good example of what I mean when I say 'no artistic value'.

You can't write music, yet you'll sing anything at all, but even so, the producers have to prop up your vocals with a vocoder. Then you have to take off your clothes in the video just to sell the track...

Obviously you're no artist.
DJ Two Words 8:46 PM - 29 July, 2015
Okay, so I have been laughing my ass at this forum thread for awhile now, but have never posted on the forums before. (Hey btw I'm DJ Two Words)

I needed to post this because I didn't even know how to react... Man oh man.

So last night I went to a meetup in Philly for incoming freshman to this college I am going to. It's in North Carolina, so they try and get people to meet up with people near them before they go down.

All the guys there are just talking and introducing themselves in a circle. Meanwhile I ate 40 pieces of shrimp because I was hungry as fuck and people were too shy to eat them.

So I ask, "Do any of you have any cool talents or sports, etc.?" And a few of us say the casual responses, one guy is a singer and a few things. I was about to say that I DJ hip hop, make mixes and have interest in school radio just so I could see who else was on the same page, but then it was getting late and people started leaving...

I'm gonna name this dude FTB for Fratstar To Be. Classic rich white kid staple. I know a lot of those kids that are cool but this one fit the stereotype.

FTB: *comes up to me after the group dissipates"
FTB: You know... I'm a DJ. I get gigs all the time man. Parties, any age man.
Me: Ah nice, I DJ hip hop. *trying not to smirk at the I'm a DJ comment*
FTB: Word. I do all the time in the area man. And Im gonna do the parties at school."
Me: *thinking its testing time* Ah gotcha what do you use?
FTB: My laptop and speakers.
Me: just your laptop? *not even gonna try with the speakers*
FTB: yeah
Me: OH! Virtual DJ?
FTB: YEAH.
Me: Ah I use Serato.
FTB: What's that? (Strike 1)
Me: It's a... *explains program*... and I use a controller. I used to use CDJ's but I do mobile gigs. Ever thought about getting gear?
FTB: Nah.
Me: Oh... Okay okay. Well, if you do, I would look to pioneer. *thinking he should get a controller to start*
FTB: Who's that? (Strike 2)
Me: A... pretty... well-known... DJ company... So what do you do at parties?
FTB: Well I do chill adult parties to drunk ones too. All different kinds of genres.
Me: Ah okay. Flexibility. Mixing must be hard thogh.
FTB: Nah I just go back and forth. (Strike 3 IM TF OUT)

I am very okay with people using whatever equipment they want (though VDJ still isn't my favorite), but do not say that you are a DJ if... well he sold himself on this one. Idk what do you guys think?

I'm not sure what Bezzle's trying to get at (his grammar is atrocious), but I think he is saying that fools like this get paid all the time because the college crowd seemingly does not care anymore about good DJs. I saw this happen back in the 90's... There was this dude (FTB) who used the crappiest equipment, no talent, and was always a hassle to work with, BUT he got gigs. I was doing fine, but how he managed to stay in business all those years - I'll never know.

Funny, to this day I would love to meet up with him at a show and just blow him away! I guess I need to let go of the past. I feel like Uncle Rico! :)

Pretty much. The 2 things I saw a lot of in college were guys with no skills or equipment getting booked at EVERY frat party because, of course, they were in the frat. The other being ultra nerdy guys with no equipment\skill playing all of the campus non-frat partys because they were on some committee or council and volunteered for everything so they just book themselves.

This^. Both of you are saying what I think will happen. Luckily, I plan on joining a Frat, but not do the whole flamboyant boat shoes and salmon short shorts routine. If I have to plan along with it for a little then oh well, but they're accepting from the parties I've been too so we will see.

I just want to tell them the price of a CDJ 2000 NXS setup, tell them thats a cheap setup compared to most (lie) and see what they say lol

I used to have this problem with the radio jocks who moonlighted on the side doing parties, etc. They'd advertise on the radio for free, and if you didn't know any better you'd think they really were awesome, after hearing the commercials. But it was all bluff. These guys would show up with two cheap speakers, one turntable, and a cassette deck. Some would have a small truss with three or four lights too.

I got tired of being beat out by those guys, so I sent spies in to videotape and photograph each and every one of them and their setups while they were on the set. Then whenever l was quoting my customers, I'd show them a direct comparison of what they were getting for their money. It didn't completely fix the problem (the power of hype, is amazing) but it did help tremendously.

Getting around the issue of highschool/college cliches that Bezzle mentioned, is pretty easy. Just make up some good posters, get to someone on the inside, supply them with posters, pamphlets, flyers, and give them a percentage of the contract for every show. They'll make sure you get the hookups.

Ultimately, what music you play, and when you play it, is a lot more important than how you mix it. However... a good DJ should be able to do all that, and more.

On the other-hand, a lot of the kids in your school audiences just don't have a clue... They will accept just about anything or anyone, provided there;s enough hype behind it/them.

^ That was me, circa '91-'93 :D. I was in a couple of organizations that had NO budget, and I was the only one who had a shit-ton of new music (on cassette... I played house parties too. lol). I moved on from that setup pretty quickly though, and had my first turntable setup by late '94 or so.

RonDu 1:22 PM - 30 July, 2015
Although my tables were home up in NY, my first college parties in the dorms were on a dual cassette deck and a CD Player. Had an extra portable tape deck to cue the songs up before putting them in the dual player for play. No one gave a $h*t what I played on/with nor that I was slamming tracks and not mixing. As long as there was alcohol, music and chicks, I was the best DJ in the world to them. I was playing joints from Doo Wop, S&S, & Craig G mixtapes and they thought I had exclusives. LOL

My humble beginnings
DJ Reflex 5:06 PM - 30 July, 2015
^^ I hear that with the cassette decks! LoL ^^

College was a goofy time back in the 90's. I do remember mixing being fairly important though when I worked with Chicago guys like Markski, Julian Perez, and Too Kool Chris. They always drew in a crowd a cut above the rest of the chump DJs in the area. I hope that mentality is still prevalent in some of the college venues.

Agreed. Sadly, if the guy is popular, good looking, connected, whatever; people will think he is awesome, even if there is no mixing, decent programming, etc... Most (not all) people are really clueless, even more so when partying. If there's a lot of people at this guy's parties having a great time most will think he's a great DJ, because they had a great time at the party.

Yup, one of my most humbling moments was after I graduated college and moved to mobile. I got a "residency" at this little hole in the wall spot that I was thrilled with. I had an ok little crowd and thought I was killin it. One day I walk in and theres a crowd and a guy setting up on stage. Im thinking WTF. I go find the manager who tells me a frat rented out the place and insisted in their own dj (im in salary though so I get paid to just chill). So I grab a seat at the bar and check out the guys setup. JUST a macbook with an 1/8 inch to rca to link into the house mixer. Im thinking oh great, virtual dj autosync in the house. NOPE, ITUNES! Now im sitting at the bar thinking "sweet, theyll regret not booking me. Im a REAL dj and this clowns a joke." I watched as this guy sat in a chair with a beer and played his playlist on what appeared to be random. No thought to tempo or vibe or genre. He would play a death metal song followed by some afroman into some kids bop.....and the crowd danced their assess off and cheered as if jay z himself had walked on stage on every song.

It was that night that I realised most people A) dont have a clue B) didnt give a shit. I was the only one who gave two shits about the art.

^^ Sad story for real, but I'm here to bring a glimmer of hope... ^^

A few years back I got hired to do a frat party in a local pub. The pub already had a house DJ who usually took care of the gigs - "DJ Dave". I show up that night next to a white van parked outside with DJ Dave unloading his gear. I asked what he was doing and he said "I'm DJing the frat party." I told him that I had the contract.
We went inside to talk to the manager and look at the contract papers... Sure enough - Frat party, DJ Reflex... (in caps) NO DJ DAVE!

Come to find out, the frat paid an extra $100 on top of my fee not to have DJ Dave. I'm not saying I was all that good, but DJ Dave obviously sucked!

I think beyond a certain point, the only people you're going to impress with fancy DJ skills, are other DJs, or those who aspire to be DJs.

Even worse, if you're too good, other DJs will hate on you...

However, there's always that small percentage that sort of makes it all worthwhile. I used to do a LOT of high school dances in the early '80s. At most of them, we'd just stick somewhere close to top forty and find clever ways to keep everyone's attention. We'd finally make it though the night, get paid, load the truck, and be thankful it was over.

But there was one school we contracted that really appreciated good music, programming, mixing, and our high dollar sound system. The kids were all well-to-do, knew how to dance, and included some of the best looking girls that I've ever seen anywhere. We always had a good time doing those gigs, they paid nearly double what we could get elsewhere, and I actually ended up marrying one of those little honeys...

Takin shots at deejdave? Yall need to have a battle now


Well... we both put ads in the local college paper for parties (back when people actually read the paper). It turns out that my ad spot was directly underneath his that week. He had his prices and promo and such and then mine read "When you need a real DJ, call Reflex". I had no clue that he even posted an ad, but when he read it, he took it as a personal attack and challenged me to a DJ battle the following week. Turns out that as much as I looked forward to it, he got canned form the local pub and "lost half his gear" in the process.

Kinda shifty, but I think the gear belonged to the bar all along and he trashed most of it during his residency there. When the bar finally threw him out, they kept what little equipment still worked and he had to pay off all the damage done to the rest of it (blow speakers, busted light fixtures, overheated amps, etc). I still hear about him once in a while - yup over 10 years later - and none of the stories are good.

Like I said, if I had the chance to meet up with him again, I'd love to throw down and show him what I can do. It's not just the DJ part either, it's the whole package - lights, equipment, sound, stage presence, performance, video, lasers... the works. We both ran mobile businesses, so it would have to be a showdown of the entire mobile experience.

Im beginning to wonder if these people even listen to the songs they request. I had this one happen Sat night and im still confused.

Girl: can I request a song

me: sure (already knowing its gonna be future because her entire group has been bugging me for it)

Girl: thick hoe by future

Me: uummmm do you mean Freak hoe?

Girl: no thick hoe

Me: is it on the new album?

Girl: YA

Me: ya.....its freak hoe

Girl: nah its definitely thick hoe

Me: ok whatever

Me: plays song...sees girls who have been requesting it just stand there starring at the ceiling.


2 songs later

Girl: When you gonna play my song

Me: I just did, and no I wont play it again and no you cant request something else because you didnt even react to the one I already played.


Girl: but you didnt play it

Me: Yes I did! Freak hoe from the new album right

Girl: NO thick hoe from the new album



At this point im starting to dout myself and I look on google and youtube and the song shes talking about def dosent exist. I can only assume she bought her cd from walmart and its the censored title or pirated it and its mislabeled but even then she should recognize the beat.

...tough evening last night.

I was subbing for a friend of mine, doing a private business party of about 40 people. Everything was going fine. They were asking for mostly late '80s rock/dance tracks, and it was so easy I should have known something was bound to go terribly wrong.

With about an hour to go, they wanted the music stopped to make some positive announcements. Okay, fine. That lasted about 30 minutes, after which everyone was pretty drunk and ready to dance again.

Great ... but to crank things up, they want me to play a specific track - "Shout"... Well, that just happens to be a song that really grates on my nerves, so I don't carry it with me. But unfortunately, it evidently is also their party theme song. One they always play at their celebrations, and worse, it's the owner's favorite song...

Well, now... as I'm being berated by the owner and about a half dozen of the planners, etc, I got fed up, and made the mistake of opening my big mouth and revealing my disdain, by telling them the reason I don't have that track with me, and further that I wouldn't play it even if I did have it... I said they (or my friend) should have mentioned that beforehand, and I would have just turned down the gig altogether.

So... to make a long story short, there followed somewhat of a scene... and about a third of the partiers left early due to the commotion and change in the vibe. And yeah... Although I did get (reluctantly) paid, I don't see me ever working one of their parties again. Oh well...

I was doing a wedding tonight out in Timbuktu near a large pond and the caterer was late. Bride and family are panicking with no food and dinner about ready to start. The food service truck finally pulls in as I'm making a few jokes with the family to lighten the mood. I say "We might have to bust out the fishing poles and catch our own dinner." Apparently the food guy heard that and started to lay into me about my rude comments. (He did not know I was the DJ.) I tell him to hold the phone buddy, I was just making a joke. He tells me - in front of the guests - that he sick of my godamn jokes and that he was not late. He then pulls out the contract and starts arguing with the bride's family.

During dinner he comes up and asked the table I was sitting at how the food was. I spoke up and said - "about as good as pond fish!"

Guys... with all due respect, does anyone on this forum still have a spine..? Maybe I should follow your lead, and change my name to "DJ Jellyfish"..? LOL...

No, seriously friends, I've been doing this for a long time, and everyone who knows me understands that I do a good job, but I do it my way. I've never had a problem getting work, and I don't want to gig more than two nights a month anymore, anyway.

My friend is covered up (reason why he asked me to sub), and if those people don't call him back, it's just one less worry for him. Please don't get the idea that I sweat that kind of thing. I only posted it here for your entertainment.

Before the little fiasco kicked off, two people had already come up and asked for one of my cards. And one guy came up and talked with me for ten minutes or so afterward, and confided that he "hated that song more than I did", and was so glad he didn't have to hear it again that night. So, you never know, I might actually pick up some business there. It has happened before. But honestly, one way or the other... I don't care.

I hate those kinds of gigs, anyway, as basically you are just functioning as a kind of human jukebox. But taking requests is one thing, as I aim to please if possible... But when people want to approach me as if they own me... No... You guys are welcome to do whatever you like... but I'm just not going for that.
 6 7:26 PM - 30 August, 2015
When you're working for someone else privately, it's not about having a spine. If this was a club gig or a radio gig I would understand. BUT A PRIVATE PARTY? Yes. YOU WERE A HUMAN JUKEBOX regardless if you played that one song or not.

On the other hand, you can put as much money into a jukebox as you like, but it will only allow you to play what is on the menu.

If they want to hear if off a phone, they can do that all by themselves. They don't need me. I told them I'd played that song for the last time, and that's just what I meant. I might stoop to the level of a jukebox on occasion ...but never a prostitute.

Last time I checked, a jukebox is now connected to an Internet connection where it can play anything you like.

See. I understand not selling yourself out, and I understand not letting someone act like they own you... But you know you were in the wrong here or you would have walked out and not worry about the money.

Oh, but wait. You wanted to get paid. So yeah. They owned you for that time - otherwise you wouldn't have taken the gig regardless if that song was going to be requested or not.

I'm not hating though. I've given people too much info about the inside of my DJ mind too.

"Billy Jean is not really appropriate for this event (a wedding), how about I play 'the way you make me feel' or maybe 'ABC'?"

"Billy Jean is a classic, what are you talking about?"

"Billy Jean is not my lover, she's just a girl that thinks that I am the one, but the kid is not my son"

"Oh"

Walks away happy vibe deflated.

Probly woulda been a better to just play the song.

There are many kinds of prostitutes. The type you are thinking of, is a "sexual prostitute". The word "prostitution" means to sell out your spiritual convictions, for money or other worldly goods. So that could be a person who makes love to someone they may actually despise, a politician who sells out his countrymen for personal power, or an artist (DJ) who plays music that he hates, just for a buck.

Then again, there are some people who have no morals or convictions, so it's a little hard to apply that term to them with accuracy...

Not to jump in the middle of a heated argument... but the "backfire" here was only instigated by 6.

But darn it - I agree with him! LoL
I would never play an entire country set. I'm not a country DJ. But, playing the Boot Scootin' Boogie at a wedding because the bride and her friends want to line dance is a different story. For about 4 minutes I have to suffer through the most annoying song ever (yup, worse than Shout) BECAUSE she is paying me to. The rest of the night, however, is mostly mine. I play the most obscure mix of tracks ever at weddings and get away with pretty much anything I want. To play one song that rubs you the wrong way is a fair trade for commanding the dance floor and the vide for 99% of the event. I never feel like a human jukebox... and I too get plenty of repeat business and hand out cards like candy.

Oh, and I'm not from Africa. :) That was funny!

I agree with 6 on all points... Bottom line, is a mobile gig is night and day to a club/bar gig. To use your analogy, if you don't want to be prostituted out, then don't take a mobile gig. Because in true essence, you are being hired by a specific person to deliver a specific service... sooooo, while they may not own you, they did rent you out for the evening! LOL And that is exactly your job for that kind of gig... play what they want. As a professional, if you are one, you need to act accordingly and discuss any and all limitations of your playlist PRIOR to the actual event, not in the middle of it. Bottom line in my opinion is that what you described was anything but professional and not only reflects on you and your friend who you were covering for, but also for the entire industry. But then again... that's just my $0.025.
DJ Super Mario 9:01 PM - 31 August, 2015
Also... that's why I hardly ever do any mobile gigs... And if I do, I definitely discuss what I play, how I play it and what I don't want to have to do. The very few mobile gigs I do are for very close friends or family that know what I'm about already.

There's always that DJ demographic in every city that considers themselves above playing certain songs. Lots of people have dealt with them, and that experience can make one's ability/willingness to play whatever the client wants into a marketable skill that's worth extra $$$.

So by all means... get up, stand up! Stand up for your rights! </bobmarley>

But, playing the Boot Scootin' Boogie at a wedding because the bride and her friends want to line dance is a different story. For about 4 minutes I have to suffer through the most annoying song ever (yup, worse than Shout) BECAUSE she is paying me to.

Lol, I'm certainly no County DJ either, but I wouldn't have an issue with playing that track in the right setting. I mean... it's a legitimate song, with a proper intro, and real musical structure. Unlike Shout, which is about as pleasant to my ears as three minutes of air-horn blasts... I've even been known to work a little Big & Rich into my house mix, just because I like a little variety, and it usually gets a good reaction.

But since you brought it up, I'll just mention that I despise line dancing for some reason. I always refuse to play The Electric Slide, or The Cha-Cha Slide. I tell them that if they absolutely must do their line dance, that there are plenty of other choices to choose from. IE, if they really know how to dance, then they don't need someone telling them the steps everytime...

But even though I may have a prior agreement, there are very often guests that weren't there when the decision was made, that will make a scene, and try their best to coerce me into playing one or the other, anyway.

To play one song that rubs you the wrong way is a fair trade for commanding the dance floor and the vide for 99% of the event.

Not knowing you personally, I couldn't say with absolute certainty... however I'm pretty sure there are at least one or two tracks that you would refuse to play, regardless. I'm also pretty sure you just don't quite realize how completely and thoroughly I hate "Shout".

you guys and "i wont play this track"


i will play any track no matter how corny it is, i could have 100 people on a dance floor & every body going crazy having fun


it's real simple ……i pick up the mic & say ….and now buy special request from ***insert name of person that requested the song & point @ them***


it could be a dance floor clearing song ……now they look @ the person that requested it like AWWWWW…..than just go back to doing what you do…..play a banger & get everyone back on the floor


but there is a flip side to playing these corny songs, the people might go crazy...

The "funniest" thing about this whole thing is that it's a song that they all wanted. It wasn't going to be a floor killer by any means. It wasn't a song that didn't fit the venue or had lyrics that just wouldn't be proper, etc. This was all about this guy being a premadonna. Nothing more. What a diva. lol

Funny you'd mentioned that. I've actually ripped money that has been thrown at me and have thrown it back at them. But, this really never (or has never) happened at a private event. That's the club/bar scene.

Again, two different animals.

And, a request vs a demand are two different things. I'm really doubtful it was a demand until you gave them attitude and gave them the whole diva attitude - but hey, I wasn't there so you could tell your story however suits your needs. lol

Oh, and believe me. I have not played plenty of songs from guests because they also gave me an attitude at a private event. But again, this was an anthem to the party (sort of).

You're right when you said that people don't own you. With that I agree. BUT.... seems to me this was just a silly thing because again, you hate that song with a passion NOT because of their behavior. Yeah. You can mask it and write the story anyway you like here... but I can see through the bullshit. lol

Let me give you a little hint here; putting me down, is not only like pouring water on a duck's back, it won't ultimately make you feel any better, nor will it save you from your own conscience. I've deliberately avoided responding to you latest dilettantish digs, trying to save you the indignity of further embarrassing yourself. Yet rather than accepting the opportunity to escape with most of your poise still intact, no... you just continue to "squeal" ever louder...

You are reminding me of the story that we've all heard about the "whore in church"... No one would have ever suspected her, had she not given her own self away via her uncontrolled sweating & nervous twitching.

Don't pay me any mind though... Go ahead, keep on wading deeper into the quicksand...

Here's another quote. "Better to be thought fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt"

You wrote your post with your chest all puffed out thinking that everyone would give you props for telling them off and showing your dj integrity witch quite frankly is laughable. Instead everyone told you that you came across as an unprofessional, immature diva of a dj. I don't really care if your feathers aren't ruffled as that is not my intention and instead of thinking that everyone here is trying to ruffle them you might want to listen to what EVERYONE is telling you. YOU WERE WRONG IN THE WAY YOU HANDLED THAT SITUATION!!!!! Not one person agrees with you. Maybe were all cowards with no integrity or maybe you just made a big deal out of nothing.

Hey, DJ Demolition... I'm on your side... Oh wait... No I'm not. I don't do many mobiles but when I do I know enough to discuss essential songs with the client ahead of time. Even when I do mobiles where I'm subbing for another DJ I make sure to get that kind of essential information. I'm pretty sure you just made your friend lose a client because of your attitude. But hey, what do you care. You stood up for yourself by refusing to be a mobile DJ at a mobile gig... hahaha!!

I don't know if you've just bought in to what he's saying, or if you came up with this idea on your own, but either way you've shown me that you aren't very good at reading a situation.

In case you didn't already know, I'm 60 years old, and I've been at this for 45 years now. I'm pretty sure you haven't even been alive that long. I'm set in my ways, and they've always worked out great for me in general. Do you honestly believe that I need the approval of anyone here on this forum, as to whether or not I might play a certain request, or how I conduct any of my business, for that matter?

Just sitting back and listening, some of you guys really do amaze me sometimes at how desperate you can be. I've always done things my way. If i couldn't manage that, I'd rather be dead. That's just the way I feel about it.

Anyway, before too many other impressionable, wet behind the ears DJs start to believe the same as you... here's the truth:

I get a certain amount of entertainment by reading the posts here while I'm listening to whatever educational program on YouTube, or practicing my mixing at night. However, this whole forum had been completely dead as far as I could tell for at least a week, and and I suppose I was Jonesing a little, so I thought, well, I have a fresh controvertible story to tell which fits within the subject matter of this thread, so I'll just post it and see if that will get the ball rolling again.

Now if you think that I believed for even a minute, that anymore than a couple of people might want to pat me on the back for standing my ground, well, I pity you, as your powers of perception are pathetic. After 45 years of competing with other DJs, don't you think I know by now that first, most DJs like and play that song? And secondly, that many of them are backstabbing sellouts that will play (or do) anything for a dollar, drugs, or even just a pat on the back from a customer?

No genius... I knew very well, it would likely raise some controversy (posts), and that's why I posted it to begin with

6 really thought it was a fail, because he himself (like you?), is always looking for someones else's approval. Therefore. it's natural for him to assume that everyone one else also has the same needy approach toward life. I, on the other hand, knew that some people would try to come down on me for that, but guess what...? I don't care! When they are my age, many of them will have a different outlook also. LOL

Personally, I feel it was a resounding success, because as you can see, it actually produced much more than I'd expected. I've had fun with it, and the posts continue to come. That said; you are still welcome to believe whatever you like...

I get a certain amount of entertainment by reading the posts here while I'm listening to whatever educational program on YouTube, or practicing my mixing at night. However, this whole forum had been completely dead as far as I could tell for at least a week, and and I suppose I was Jonesing a little, so I thought, well, I have a fresh controvertible story to tell which fits within the subject matter of this thread, so I'll just post it and see if that will get the ball rolling again.


I agree with you on this. It had gotten a bit quiet before your controvertible post with the exception of DJ Kidds love affair with Hardwell. Im glad I could help you with your goal and help you get the ball rolling again. The fact that your trolling at age 60 is a little pathetic how ever. Go spend some time with your grand kids and teach them how to mix. No request of course.

Now if you think that I believed for even a minute, that anymore than a couple of people might want to pat me on the back for standing my ground, well, I pity you, as your powers of perception are pathetic. After 45 years of competing with other DJs, don't you think I know by now that first, most DJs like and play that song? And secondly, that many of them are backstabbing sellouts that will play (or do) anything for a dollar, drugs, or even just a pat on the back from a customer?


No need to pity me. You should pity your self. At age 60 your still selfish, cantankerous and immature. You probably relate to Old Blue Eyes... you do it your way. Blah Blah Blah.


No genius... I knew very well, it would likely raise some controversy (posts), and that's why I posted it to begin with


Trolling at 60. Awesome. And I fell for it. So stupid..So so stupid. I keep falling for these post. Dang it.



6 really thought it was a fail, because he himself (like you?), is always looking for someones else's approval. Therefore. it's natural for him to assume that everyone one else also has the same needy approach toward life. I, on the other hand, knew that some people would try to come down on me for that, but guess what...? I don't care! When they are my age, many of them will have a different outlook also. LOL


Not looking for approval. My approach toward life is not needy and guess what? I don't give a fuck if you care or don't care. I have learned as I have gotten older that you don't need to fight every battle. Just the ones that matter. Your battle was about playing "Shout" Your outlook is sad.



Personally, I feel it was a resounding success, because as you can see, it actually produced much more than I'd expected. I've had fun with it, and the posts continue to come. That said; you are still welcome to believe whatever you like...



Thanks! Im glad I had something to do with making you feel successful. Im guessing you don't feel that way often as a dj.

I feel like doing a mobile gig, you have all your music in a hard drive anyways. How do you not have it? I mean, I have plenty of songs I don't use in mine. I have doubles I still haven't deleted lol.

Or does he not have the original vinyl of Shout? Parts 1 & 2? A little bit softer now?

I've played Shout at the Bar/Club I spin at. Shit goes off. I almost wish I was kidding, but I did it, as one of the last song type of track, and people loved it lol
DJ Super Mario 3:11 PM - 2 September, 2015
And yet again... "I don't care how any of you feel about me or my post, and I'm going to write a novel about it to prove it!!!" LOL

And 6 needs approval??? I've seen him piss off more people than most on here. Well along with Johnny... heh

What's awesome is saying I've been doing it for 45 years my way only, with this same attitude! I highly doubt that... I would have thought you would have learned by now that you wouldn't get much repeat service if that's how you conducted yourself for the past 45 years. I'm actually curious as to what the set list of songs you DID play were. I can guarantee there were WAY worse songs in there than 'Shout'...

But again... that's just my $0.025.
 6 3:55 PM - 2 September, 2015
I agree. Post that playlist grandpa. Let's see what kind of morals you have. lol

@ DJ Mozo, he absolutely hates that song hence he doesn't carry it. But he refused to play it (off his phone if he wanted to) even though it was the anthem of the party. lol


Wait. Then again, I don't think rotary phones allow for streaming on the spot. :-P

For the record also, I'm not mocking his age... I'm somewhat considered an old-timer myself, especially for a club DJ at the age of 43, however, I'm surprised a 60 year old hates "Shout" that much. I guess I'm just as guilty of hating certain tracks with that much passion as well, but if the party called for it and it was the anthem for the group, I'd play it and tune out for a few minutes until I mixed in the next track... (At a mobile gig... don't get me wrong... I'd definitely probably have the same response at a club gig that he had. And I definitely did respond as such recently when I got t the request for the "Macarena"... **groan** But I digress...)
DJ Mozo 4:27 PM - 2 September, 2015
That's what I'm saying. I hate Fetty Wap, but damn that song gets the crowd rockin.

The point is, for mobile gigs, it's not about ego. That's the only point to the argument. You're providing a service to a client. Like a wedding, if a bride requests some out of left field track the day of, you'll do what you can to play it. Always provide the best customer service. I mean, that's what a good dj does right? sometimes lol

Anyways... back to our scheduled programming. I did a ballroom event this past weekend for a big ballroom dancer. Got the request for Watch Me and Fetty Wap. Watch me, I can get away with, since it's kinda a line dance... but not so much on the fetty wap.. lol

Like I said before, I've rejected or ignored certain requests at a club or bar gig. You know, maybe it wasn't the right format, or they were demanding, or whatever. But, at a private event? An anthem to the party? Slap! lol

Wait... that's the best you can come up with??? Trying to get a rise out of me because of my DJ moniker??? LOL What's funny about that is that I tried going with a different name early on in my career, but since my real first name is Mario, my friends decided it was a better fit and they gave me that name. And to be honest, I was ok with that... easy to market and for others to remember since it was my real name. Most DJ names are ridiculous anyway... that's when you let your mixing and DJ skills be the factor in whether people take you seriously or not, (and that includes how you act towards people as well). I've seen dope DJs with cornier names using cornier songs tear it up and get everyone in a frenzy. I'm willing to be that they take me way more seriously than you, "Demolition", LOL. Looks like the only thing you seem to be demolishing little by little is the respect others have for you.

I wasn't trying to "come up with anything" clever. I just spoke my mind. I've been wondering for a while now, why anyone would adopt such a corny handle, although I figured it might possibly be connected to your name. Oh... and while we're on the subject, what's up with that logo of yours? Am I missing something there?

Yes, that's true. But if you're going with "ridiculous" then you have to go all the way... with something like Skrillex, or deadmau5. However, you chose to pick something lukewarm and in the middle. It's neither sensible nor shocking, just sounds kind of silly... like some kid that has just started DJing, but is still fascinated with video games.

Maybe if you just left out the "Super", it wouldn't conjure up images of some little fat guy jumping around in people's heads. But by all means, do whatever you like, as you are the one who has to live with it. Unless you're like 6, I'm sure you don't require someone else's approval. Especially mine... LOL.

I have a little exercise for you: Go back in the thread, and count all my posts starting with my little story. And while you are going down the list, count 6's posts also. When you are done, get back to me with the figures, then maybe we can figure out who (if anyone) is really at fault here.

This happened many years ago.

DJing at a club and I've been mixing mostly rap & r&b because that's what the vibe called for that night. Guy comes up to the DJ booth.

Guy: Do you have any gay music?

Me: (Making sure I heard right) I say, gay music?

Guy: Yeah. House & disco music.

Me: Yes. I do have house and disco music but I didn't know anyone actually called it gay music.

Guy: Can you play some next?

Me: Sure.

Guy: Thanks! (Walks away happy)

Now, I know the LGBT community loves EDM stuff and disco but I've never ever had anyone request it like that before or since then.

LOL... well no, of course not... it's just your immature naivety which causes you to perceive it that way.

Don't let that concern you though, it's simply a natural transition that we all (well... most of us anyway) must go through. After your your testes drop, you should be able to also handle your business like a man.

I realize that it's a little hard for you to imagine this right now, and please don't let this scare you..., but your voice will actually get a lot deeper and hair will grow on your chest. LOL... it's true! You'll begin to see women in a whole new way, and you'll notice them looking at you very differently also. Trust me, you'll like it once you've tried it.

You'll soon learn to give orders, rather than following them. It's amazing what a little testosterone can do. A wonderful world awaits you my friend.

Don't let that concern you though, it's simply a natural transition that we all (well... most of us anyway) must go through. After your your testes drop, you should be able to also handle your business like a man.

Girl: Can you please play shout for me and all my friends. We love that song.

Me: NO I HATE THAT SONG. NOW GO FUCK YOUR SELF BEFORE I LEAVE EARLY AND GET PAID ANYWAYS

Girl: Please play that song. It would mean a lot to me.

Me: NO BITCH NOW GO FUCK OFF

wife: Why the fuck are you talking to your daughter like that. Whats wrong with you. Shes 6.

OK - So I got a wedding tomorrow and the bride gives me her "playlist" - ALL COUNTRY!

And not specific songs that I can download... just vague sub genres and a few artists. "We like Luke Bryan type stuff." What am I supposed to do with that? It's not like Luke Bryan has a Greatest Hits CD out or anything? Even if I download the top 5 songs off iTunes, they're probably not the ones she's into anyway.

I make it a point to tell clients that I am not a country DJ. They all agree until they come up with their favorite songs that all happen to be (wait for it...) country!

Reflex, there's a real art to avoiding certain kinds of requests. I don't usually have a total standoff anymore like I did the other night... That caught me off guard. I'm usually pretty handy at playing pretty much what I want to, and making them like it.

I'm not trying to school you though. Everyone has to do things in their own way, and I'm sure that you'll figure out how to handle all that in an efficient manner before too long. What I will offer though, is that like Rick Nelson said: soundcloud.com you'll find out soon enough that you can't please everyone no matter how hard you try. You just have to do (within reason of course) what makes you happy.

I found Denolitions little manhood rant amusing to say the least. God help me if that's the way I act by the time I'm 60.

Surely it's more manly to demonstrate the maturity in being able to realise that you acted like an idiot. Surely it's more manly to be magnanimous and understand the type of gig you're playing at. Demolition 60 going on 16.

DJ Reflex 5:25 AM - 6 September, 2015
DJ Art Pumpin Payne - Thanks for the link, but the fact is that I don't want to get that much into country music. Personally, I just don't like it. I also figure I've been doing this for 22 years without diving into country too hard and have done fine. I keep up on what I hear on the radio and iTunes, but no way am I joining a pool just to have the latest Kenny Chesney track. In fact, some girl came up and asked for a Miranda Lambert song that I didn't have. She wasn't mad or anything, but I told her that I didn't have that one. She politely walked away and at the end of the night said she had a good time. I can live with that.
 6 5:39 AM - 6 September, 2015
Exactly. I have enough country music and videos to get me through most gigs - definitely not an all country gig though. lol

Now I just keep organizing my library to have those songs that are played often and the ones that are very odd requests I can just play through my phone. Forget having to carry tunes that I may never get a request for in a party atmosphere.

AM is sharper than a razorblade! I could never learn to cut that quick, even if I had another 60 years to practice, but I love to watch others who can. He's not only a great scratch artist, but has has good taste in the tracks he plays. And, he understands when, and where to fit the next track, and what that track should be. That's something you can't say for everyone.

Seeing him paired with Travis Barker (the drummer) reminds of of the first club I ever attended. When I was fifteen, (1970) my biker friends used to sneak me into a downtown club that had semi-live entertainment. The DJ was accompanied by a bass player and a drummer. That made it the hottest dance club in town at the time, because the songs back then didn't have a strong backbeat as recorded. and the drum and bass accompaniment really helped to increase their energy and danceability.

Great DJ, by the way, and although we competed for the same jobs later on, we became good friends over time. Last time I ran into him though, he was delivering pizzas for a living. Said he was just totally burned out... :(

It's just funny to see people post here who may have been here for YEARS and not said the word "Boo", all of a sudden telling cats how they've acted over the years...and they can't say they've had any interaction with you...

Unless of course, said new person is an Alias of an old board member...

Serato Forums has pretty much a cult following to be honest...

The only thing I see poppin' pretty much are the Off Topic Threads, inclusive of the infamous "Need Help, DRUG TEST", thread which always brings a new crop of onlookers and participants...

Hell you can't even really post a real time HELP REQUEST anymore related to any Serato software other than an unmanned Email Inbox...

Yes... probably. Personally, I think this sort of (PC based) software is nearing the end of it's usefulness. I think you'll see that everything will be hardware based before too long. I.e., software built-in to the hardware. Pioneer has Rekordbox now, and Numark has Avid. Even Stanton has their own proprietary built-in software.

Demolition - just curious - what area are you from?

You speak about Clubs and DJing in the early 70's - I am a few years older than Johnny M and I can't remember the DJ scene poppin' like that until the mid 70's?

I know a few DJ's that were around or started back then but I don't remember DJs really doing anything significant or exploding until near the mid 70's - even hip hop DJs were around mid to late 70's.

I'm sure it just depends on where you are from, or how well you were connected to the underground. I was spinning records on stolen turntables in a biker gang clubhouse for beer and other favors when I was 15, and we had some great dance parties. I can't remember the name of that club I mentioned off the top of my head, but it'll come back to me.

I was already a club DJ a couple of years before Hip Hop hit the scene. The first Rap track I remember, was King Tim III.

...was just thinking about what you said. I believe what you are thinking of is when it all went mainstream. There was the underground/club scene going on long before that, and then the big promoters, and jewish opportunists got in on the act toward the mid seventies. As usual, they saturated the market, by commercializing everything and trying to make as much money off of it as possible, in the least amount of time. That's why everyone was hating on it so hard by 1982.

People who didn't have the opportunity to experience the beginning of all this, really don't understand what it is/was all about. They're all trying to play catch-up. I've been involved from the very start, and have personally visited every noteworthy club on the east coast, that I am aware of. That includes the Paradise Garage, Limelight, Xenon's, Studio 54, etc... People who have never experienced that, will never really "get it". It's like missing the Woodstock concert.

I started in the early 80's but got involved in the Techno and House scene in the mid to late 80's so I knew some of the (then older) club DJs that were around or started in the mid to late 70's.

ATL - kinda makes sense I guess.

I know Florida had a scene in the late 70's and early 80's as well as the DJ scene in California also round that time (pre Dre and Snoop - Egyptian Lover, Uncle Jamm, etc).

Friday I'm doing a gig... This venue does 2 DJs during the summer, 1 inside and 1 outside. I was the outside DJ, which means i start an hour earlier than the inside DJ but I also end an hour and a half earlier due to a neighbor lady that always complains about the noise.

Anyways, being that it's outside and it's at a restaurant there's a slightly older crowd outside and I'm pretty much playing cheesy fluff and older stuff most of the night. The owner doesn't like too much current hip-hop being played so I'll play some early 2000's and 90's hip-hop and house mixed in with some 80's dance and pop.

So I'm playing Dennis Ferrer - "Hey Hey" then this track Watchwww.youtube.com which is pretty much a club classic for those that know house music. Had a bunch of people dancing and having a good time, then I drop Aly Us - "Follow Me" and even more people are dancing... then it happens... The one dumb girl that has no filter comes up to me and says "Can you play some white people music, I don't know any of these songs" I point her to the dance area and say to her "Look, a bunch of white people dancing. Go learn something about good music"

It amazes me the amount of ignorance some people have. I guess it's just me and the way grew up listening to such a variety of music, but I don't see music as black music or white music. I tend to categorize music as either good music or bad music and feel that good music can get any crowd jamming whether black, white, hispanic or other

Did a Caribbean party Sat. Lots of people attended. Now normally with Caribbean parties the people stand around till about 2:30 - 3:00am and then start dancing (I guess it's when the liquid courage kicks in) . 5am, still no one is/was dancing but a handful. For the first time I left the wireless on so I can download any request that I may not have to play and get the people moving (must say SL worked flawlessly with the wireless on). Nothing. So, I figured I flopped. When the party done the people almost literally form a line on their way out to tell me how great I was and the music. I'm like "damn". You know how sometimes you just wanna hear your girl/wife say "I love you?". Well, I just wanna see you guys dancing, that's all.

I've had this happen to me before. This small bar I used to DJ at had a kick ass sound system.... but they had a 19" rane mixer and CD players. So, I would bring my turntables and 57 (mixer I had at the time) and connect to his Rane mixer. Oh yeah, they weren't even CDJ's... they were actual CD players. You know. The old school kind. lol

It took me about ten years to figure out that your success is not necessarily measured by the number of people on the dancefloor. It all comes back to being able to read your audience accurately.

In a bar, the pressure is always on you (from management) to keep the people dancing ...so they will get thirsty and buy more drinks. But even in a club situation, wearing out your customers on the floor is not always a good idea. I like to remind myself of the old adage: "If it don't fit, don't force it." If people are drinking, smiling, and at least patting their feet, then you're doing your job right.

I know it was a Jersey (and somewhat of a NYC) anthem - I thought and knew that as i was posting but I assumed the girl was young and it "pushed her to make the request" - lol

I was also gonna point that out to Demolition - he spoke about "losing energy" - local favorites or "anthems" trump regular programing - if you are building or taking them on a journey - the local "anthem" is a peak.... Give the people what they want!!!!

But seriously... if you are from Detroit, you should be more familiar with the underground scene of that era than myself. Much of the music we were playing in the early seventies was coming out of the Motor City.


I seriously can't remember any HOT Dance music from Detroit in the EARLY 70's except Parliament Funkadelic, Bootsy, maybe Was Not Was? It was all about Motown WAY back in 60's and the origins of Techno in early/mid 80's.

whats funny is the re-release in 02 with the Full Intention and Chris Lum remix got an instant mainline into big sets everywhere, so 10 years after its initial release a entire (and more global) group of DJs and club goers were exposed to it...
I remember Carl Cox, Fatboy Slim and all those big radio 1 guys having it on their playlists

here we are almost 25 years later and the track still works like gang busters.
but you will hardly ever hear it on the radio, or in many contemporary "top 100" djs mixes

when its good, its good. end of story.

See, now that is what I don't understand... Around here, that all kicked off around 1969 - '70 - '71. So for you to have been involved from the start, you would have to have been DJing at the tender age of 10, 11, 12, maybe?

The tracks we were playing then, weren't "dance tracks" per-se, at least not for the most part. And not like the tracks we were getting toward the mid seventies, at any rate. But a lot of what I had was on the Motown label.

And this goes even further back, really. There were TV shows like American Bandstand all the way back into the sixties, and I'm sure you remember Soul Train... People (like me) were playing this music off of the records, at private parties, and then some clubs started picking up the idea. That's how it originally took off.

Well yeah... I wouldn't argue with that at all. It's very easy to get bogged down in the semantics when you start discussing different genres.

When I said "deep house", I didn't mean "deep house" the sub genre, proper... but rather that the track was very "deep" into the "house" category. Similarly, when I said "disco", I was referring to quality club dance tracks, not mid to late seventies "disco" proper. I guess I should have made myself more clear, but it was late (like tonight), and I was in a hurry.

Love that Peniston recording, BTW. That's real music.

Quote:
If you payed attention to my post you would see that the more of those tracks I played the more the floor got packed.

I did (unlike you,and some others here) pay attention, and I just put it down to the location you were in. It's like you said: some people have no taste in music.

Quote:
Only 1 girl complained because she didn't know the music, while everyone else was having a good time.

Haha... I guess no one had bothered to tell her that she was supposed to like it. Lol. Usually though, when you have one or two saying something out loud, there is a much larger percentage just thinking the same, yet holding their tongue.

Quote:
Unlike your situation where everyone complained.

Well, you see, my situation wasn't like that at all, and this is where you need to pay more attention: Only the planning committee was complaining. It was a great party until they elected to make a scene. You know the type of stuffed shirts that hold the executive positions which allow them to make everyone in their corporate environment's lives miserable? They are used to giving orders, and always getting exactly what they want. It was the perfect opportunity to back them down in front of everyone. I wasn't about to play that wretched track anyway, uh-uh... but I would probably still have found a way to cut those execs down to size. I just didn't like their attitude...

Nope - your timeline is all screwed up - it all started in the 80's. I aspired to be a DJ in 82 after seeing how bad the DJs sucked when I attended my 1st semester of college in Fall of 81.

Alleys of Your Mind - Cybotron or Sharivari - A Number of Names were 1981 or so and were essentially the first Techno Records - same year that I graduated high school. Cybotron got signed to Fantasy Records in 83 or so and released Clear. Juan made his first solo record under Model 500 in 85 and Derrick May asked me to bring him a record to sample in Juan's upstairs bedroom studio in the Summer of 86 to make XRay - Let's Go - his 1st Record on Transmat.

That Fall I went back to school up at Eastern Michigan University - Eddie Fowlkes would hang out at my apartment and spin - he made his 1st record on Juan's Metroplex label in also 86 which inspired Kevin Saunderson, a DJ that was my next door neighbor to make his 1st record in 87 or so.

Still don't know what records you were listening to from Detroit in the 70's tho?

I did throw in some Digable Planets and Positive K for a second too. I think he was just drunk and had no clue what was going on around him - at his own wedding no less!

Last night a chick comes up and wants to hear "Suave". I asked her who sang it as all I have was Rico Suave and Suavemente. She comes up about 5 minutes later with her phone set to Elvis Crespo - Suavemente. "OK, I'll play it." I said. I mix it in and the crowd loves it. About an hour later she comes back up and asks when I'm going to play that suave song???
 6 9:52 PM - 20 September, 2015
That happens a lot too though. People not knowing what's going on around them. They zero in on their request without thinking their song might be playing. That's happened to me with the actual song requested being played at the time.

Uh... my timeline is fine Pumpkin. Maybe it all started for YOU in the eighties, but it began way before that, for those of us old enough to remember. LOL... next there will be some 90yo DJ pipe up here, and tell us all about how it actually began in the 40s, and how they were tearing it up on their gramophones with 78 RPM records...

I watched the "Scratch" documentary again the other night, and all these guys were saying how that the DJ on Herbie Hancock's "Rockit" was the first to ever scratch a record, and that they all heard what he did there, and developed "turntablism" from that beginning. They were saying that no one had ever thought to do that before.

I thought; I know that's not right, because I had been DJing for a long while when that track was released, and many of the DJs I worked and competed with, were scratching, dropping doubles, phasing, etc, many years before then. Like DJ Hollywood (a real MC) said in 1980: "It's not '78. but it's not too late...".

What is this... the third, or is this the fourth time you've had it "all figured out"? Well don't take your thinking cap off yet... At this rate, this is bound to go on repeating for quite a while longer.

Anyway, as it happens, I don't have to worry about getting "fired", as I am an independent contractor, with a host of people like you, working for me. They have to worry about getting fired, but I actually only work now, just to keep the company going so they will have an income. I am very comfortable, and could retire anytime I want.

I got the "hey this music sucks, is this 80's night?? What other music do you have" from this dude that wanted to change up the music. (I was playing literally the 2nd 80's track of the night and i was into the 2nd hour of the gig) I tell him that I am mixing all different types of music and this is only the second 80's song of the night.

Of course not wanting to show him all of the songs in my library and him spending 20 minutes trying to find a song that he liked, i typed in Hall & Oates and showed him all of the 5-6 H&O songs i had (him not knowing it was just H&O songs) and he just looked at my computer like wtf that's all the music you have?!?! I said yeah and he just walked away.

Soooo, at a bar night playing some throwback hip hop joints, still kinda early on in the night. Already have 3 bachelorette parties on the floor dancing, so its a good start to the night. A lady walks up, hands me a $20, and requests Fireball by Pitbull. Sure, I'll play it in a few songs. I'll build up to it. 3 songs later, her roided out 60year old husband comes up trying to flex and starts yelling. "Do you know what tips are?" "Yes sir." "It means To Insure Preferred Service." "Ok" "A lady came and gave you a tip correct? And she requested a song?" "..." "So play the song" "Sir, I'm building up to it, and actually it's about 2 songs away" "This is ridiculous, you're a terrible dj, play the fucking song now" "Sir, the dance floor is packed, I'm building up to it, I'll play it in 2 songs." "That's bullshit, give me my fuckin money, we're leaving" Bouncers walk up, I gave him his money, and said "Thanks for leaving, have a safe night" Don't need that kinda shit in my spot :)

And at the end of the night, closing down and "Bohemian Rhapsody" is playing. Guy walks up dressed to the 9s. "Hey bro, can you play my song?" "I can't man, we're closing up for the night, and I can't do it." "How much to play my song" "I honestly can't sir, sorry Send it to me, and I can play it for you next week" " How much for right now my friend, $100?" At this point, I'm intrigued. "I can't man, even if I wanted to, I don't have my cable." "$150" "Dude. I wish I could" "$300" "Well, lets see it" ... ...Money is out. Cable is out. Not a bad song either :)

She then said "'cos if I have an epileptic fit, I'm going to sue you".

WTF?


Oh snap! I gotta come up with a come back for that one. lol

Some people are just weird. They know they situation they're placing themselves in and still want to be there with disregard to their own safety.


Long ago I was DJing at a bowling alley. I had set up 4 speakers, they weren't too loud, just enough for everyone to have a good time. I have a dude come up and turn down one of my speakers. Like he didn't ask. He just came and turned down the speaker gain. So, I taped the back of every speaker after I re-adjusted the gain so he couldn't touch it. He comes and tells me to turn it down. I'm like. No. It's your choice to be here. You can leave if you want. This is a private event. Go talk to whoever is in charge of the event. So, he went and bitched and they moved him to the very last lane. hahaha. He was pissed that they didn't ask me to turn it down. So, he left.

I was spinning for over 9 straight hours at a wedding Sat night. Throughout the night, the bride's grandma, aunts, and other assorted old ladies kept coming up and requesting songs by Daft Punk, Chromeo, M83 and other electronic/house tracks. I was having a blast... until this younger looking chic came up and asked why I was playing all this "new stuff". She said "I'm in my early 40s and I want to hear some music from my era - you know Elvis 'n stuff."

WTF - Elvis??? I'm in my 40s and I don't listen to that. I listen to Daft Punk, Chromeo, and M83!!!

Besides that, the older ladies were tipping me all night and dancing their arses off.
 6 12:55 AM - 13 October, 2015
Yeah. No way Elvis is for a 40's crowd.

I know, it beggars belief; knowing you're at risk and then spending hours in a room full of flashing lights. Despite her being there (& dancing a lot?) the party rocked, and everyone had a great time.

Funny, I have a great Elvis remix/re-edit of 'I Got A Feeling In My Body' which I've been known to drop for an early 40s crowd ;)
R-Tistic 4:26 PM - 13 October, 2015
This past Saturday. DJing a huge twice a year party we do in Downtown L.A. Early on, the manager was panicking because certain amps weren't coming on, and he wasn't getting clear power. He wouldn't even let me plug in my wireless mic into his main mixer, claiming the power outlet there wasn't strong enough. Bad sign, right?

Club got POPPIN around 12:15...12:20, even more hype. And then....................*DARKNESS AND SILENCE* EVERYTHING blows out!!!!!! The club lights, the TV's, literally no electricity in the entire place! It was super hot that night, maybe 85 degrees at Midnight, and they had no AC already, but their fans cut off too...so it was a mess. Of course I can't announce what happened on the mic, but everyone knew that the power in the whole place was down.

15 minutes later, after everyone is still kinda standing around drunk, waiting for it to come back....this girl walks up to me................

"Um....excuse me, but............why did you cut the music off? Can you cut it back on?"

I'm setting up at this bar a few weeks ago and the jukebox is playing (save your DJ so bad jokes hahahaha). Anyway, I'm way early. Something I rarely do so I'm done setting up and now I'm having a few drinks. About 6 songs have played since I'm done setting up. Mind you, no mixing. Duh. It's the jukebox playing. Finally ol' girl comes up to me kinda pissed and says, "if you're going to play that garbage music all night long, I'm not staying". Wasn't even paying attention to what had played so I just responded. "it's polka night all night". She walks out all pissed. hahaha

Man, happens all the time. You get blamed for shit that's outta your control.

I rock up to the club to set up and some gay shit is playing on the iPod, very loud at about 8pm. I have my backpack on, haven't even begun to set up. Old lady comes up to me "TURN IT THE FUCK DOWN" (iPod is playing from other room and I've been here for 5 seconds)

Another time. I rock up to the club, set up, good to go. Give the signal to the manager to switch me over from the iPod to the mixer. He messes around for about 5 minutes and it sounds as if he's flicking through all the radio stations / sports channels - basically he's trying to find my mixer and he's playing anything and everything BUT my mixer. Club is pretty full. I'm getting filthy looks. Some chick yells "this is the worst DJ I've ever heard". Meh what can I do? Just shrug my shoulders and laugh at their ignorance. Anyway I killed it once I was finally switched over and all those people were on the dance floor

Lol, ive had the same thing happen. I walk into the venue and make my way to the stage where my closed coffin and table are on the floor in storage mode. I get to the stage with my backpack still on and 2 girls walk up and telle they dont like what im playing. I just look at them confused. Then they ask to make a request and i tell them sure once i start playing i would be glad to. Then they start demanding i play it now and tell me I suck as a dj. I ask if they still want a request and of course they say yes. I walk to the bar and get a pen and paper and write the # to the radio station. I give the number to the girls and tell em thats who they need to call to get a request until i actually set up and start playing music.

Worst is when you're hooking up your shit (especially during changeover as opposed to beginning of the night). You got about 45 seconds to go to connect your SL box. RCA cables everywhere. MacBook powering up. Some chick "hey, can you play..." You're like "just gimme 1 sec" they're like "but I wanna hear it now" and they stand over you while you are scrambling around for cords. Man I HATE that

So I'm at work...listening to the radio. It's 'classic RnB day'

So after a run of a few songs, they take one of the (pointless chat) phone calls from a listener. Chat for a second, then
Host: 'any requests we can play for you?'
Caller: 'Play some TLC!'
Host: "um, we just played three TLC songs back to back...so....no"
Caller: "ohhh....then, anything"

Five minutes later...another call..
Caller "hey. what is that song that goes dun dun dun dun (etc etc)
Host: umm...how did that go?
Caller: "I'm not doing it again. what song is it?"

People are actually bothering to call up with their stupidity now.

Lol you just don't get it do you? Responses mean nothing. Leaving that thread up for people to see the corruption of DMC is all that matters, maybe for this sole reason it should stay up. Thank you too and have a better day.

Here's a thought. If you want to argue back and forth with Johnny M why don't you just send him a Private Message so the two of you can argue all you want without messing up the threads for everyone else.

There's no way this dude can be 60 and act in such a manner both at his gig and on the forum. Are we all being trolled?

LOL... well no, of course not... it's just your immature naivety which causes you to perceive it that way.

Don't let that concern you though, it's simply a natural transition that we all (well... most of us anyway) must go through. After your your testes drop, you should be able to also handle your business like a man.

I realize that it's a little hard for you to imagine this right now, and please don't let this scare you..., but your voice will actually get a lot deeper and hair will grow on your chest. LOL... it's true! You'll begin to see women in a whole new way, and you'll notice them looking at you very differently also. Trust me, you'll like it once you've tried it.

You'll soon learn to give orders, rather than following them. It's amazing what a little testosterone can do. A wonderful world awaits you my friend.


At 60 you don't even know how to be a dj and now your giving advice on how to be a man. Really???

This happened to me yesterday while djing and I tried to handle things the demolition way.

Girl comes over to my booth.

Girl: Do you take request.

Me: NO GO FUCK YOURSELF

Girl: Can you please play shout for me and all my friends. We love that song.

Me: NO I HATE THAT SONG. NOW GO FUCK YOUR SELF BEFORE I LEAVE EARLY AND GET PAID ANYWAYS

Girl: Please play that song. It would mean a lot to me.

Me: NO BITCH NOW GO FUCK OFF

wife: Why the fuck are you talking to your daughter like that. Whats wrong with you. Shes 6.

Me: FUCK OFF BITCH. IM A MAN, SEE.. CHEST HAIR AND I DONT TAKE ORDERS. I GIVE ORDERS. NOW GET ME A FUCKING BEER AND STAY OUT OF MY WAY. IM GROWING CHEST HAIR.

PUH FUCKING THETIC!!!!! MAN? REALLY?



Everyone except for this guy, to the imbecile who wrote this one if your a man tell me where you work and I'll fly anywhere on the planet to see you.

If anyone knows where this guy works I'll offer you a VERY generous cash reward. Thank you.

Girl: Can you play some house music?
Me: with a you just gave me down syndrome look on my face. I am playing house music
Girl: (nearly falling over into my gear) This isn't house music
Me:(Waving for someone to get her away from me) What kinda house music would you like me to play?
Girl: Ariana Grande
Me: I don't have any of her music
Girl: Upset that I don't have her request is getting ready to throw her drink on me, trips and falls backwards and passes the fuck out.
Me: Is their anything else I can play for you?

Here's one for you, true story...

So I flew down to Canada to do a charity event in Toronto one of my least favorite places and worst for sadistic narcissistic dj's...anyways...

Organizer comes over with a priest while a huge crowd is in front of me waiting to make the first needle drop (they were eating schmoozing waiting for the music to begin and all staring at me the organizer and the priest)

Organizer: We like to do a little prayer before we start music etc...

Me: Wow, ok, sure...

(Myself, priest, organizer and 1000 people all put our hands together and pray)

Organizer: Ok, now, we like to do the national anthem, did you bring the O Canada?

Me: Whaaaat???

LOL

I just did a wedding last night where a guy I was sitting with was telling me about these great "DJ lights" he found on-line for $25. "Free shipping and everything..." I tell him how much mine cost (Couple ADJ Inno Rolls and Blizzard strobes to start). He laughs and tells me I paid too much.

Then... I turned them on!

End of the night the same guy and his girl come up, thank me for a fun night, and apologize for being a turd earlier. He realized that you get what you pay for - and how extensive the set up was with DMX, cables, trussing, clamps, etc.

I'm not bashing the guy, but he quickly discovered the difference between living room effects and professional products.

This past weekend, Halloween parties Friday & Saturday, place is rocking.
I had three, THREE!!! dudes come up me telling me that they either have, or were going to talk to Mgmt. about playing there for free. Of course these would be the same two nights I work, lol. Good thing Mgmt. appreciates & values my skills. Besides those guys, had another 4 take the time to tell me that they used to DJ, but only on vinyl, and are thinking about getting back into it. SMH...

this is always the worst. you and they know they dont still have it, dont go out more than once a month but they USED to dj.

i know some of those guys could play classics but if you think you're gonna just start back up to 10 years prior, nah.
Joshua Carl 6:52 PM - 8 November, 2015
What even better when they goto the owner and try to swipe your gig..
And they laugh in their face.

Happened last night.
Dude came and POSTED on my booth for a good 20 minutes.
Room is at capacity +25%
All tables sold
Line of 50+
Crowd is a well behaved, casually dressed, money spending crowd... Vibe is open format (crowd reading)
4 years running at this rate.. After a shaky first year

It takes balls to go to the owner and be like, yeah I can bring a different vibe... You know damn well the rate was a joke.


I don't know about you guys.
But if a room is slammed and rocking
I'd probably goto the dj and develop a relationship and trybto get in.
Not just stand there, the 1 out of 550 people mean muggin on the wall.

It's like goin to the Patriots and telling them you can change the vibe of their passing game

yeah, i have a long time residency thats packed every week and people ask me to play. its really nothing against them but a. they generally dont have other gigs that we can swap b. the ownership knows what they are getting with me and trust me c. its a big nite so i cant have someone go up and bomb or even just go a different direction with the music even if they are a great dj. d. i have a 100 dj friends that are great djs that could play with me if i wanted and i dont know or have any idea of how this person djs.

i have one guy that always asks recently and he has a big gig. i was like book me for that and play with me, of course that never happened and i haven't seen him since. i guess it worked out.

If the DJ is killing it when I'm out somewhere, I might wander over when they aren't busy and just give them some credit, but usually won't hang around for more than a minute because I know how annoying it can be if someone hovers around trying to talk when you're busy.

Hollywood bar/club for Halloween. Got asked my 2 girls to play Taylor Swift. I said ok, I'll play it a little later, thinking I can sneak in a verse of Kendrick and Taylor Swift "Bad Blood"... Every 10 minutes, oh come on play it...we're going to leave..blah blah blah.
They proceeded to find my friend who was at my bottle service table, and asked him to ask me for Taylor Swift. I'm sitting there baffled by his request, and of course look back and see them at my table.. I almost knocked him out for making a bad request, then saw that he was doing it for them.. i almost knocked him out twice! lol

Saturday, Open Format so I try to be fairly accommodating for requests. Older guy comes up, asks for a song, it gets played. His woman asks for a song, don't have it but play another by the same artist. Told him I'd have that song next week but he says they'll never be back as they were only in town for a BBQ/Concert event in the area. Now he wants to hear Just Like Heaven by the Cure. Working my way through the Genres to fit that in (about 10 minutes), he comes up complaining about who would request the crap that was playing now (Depeche Mode, Enjoy The Silence), then storms out of the place, even though the Cure song was up next; but not before complaining to the bartender how much I suck. Some people are just assholes and you can never do enough to make them happy.

Dude trying to request straight outta Compton when I just got the floor going. Tells me he'll tip $5. Doesn't work so he offers 10 if I get it in 10 minutes. Then the owner of the club tells me to cater a bit to the wedding party that just came in (he wasn't part of the wedding). Guy comes back and offers me $20. I told him, "The guy that just came up before you signs my checks." All he does is still flash me the $20 with a look like "it's $20! Can you do it?"

I had a girl talk her way OUT OF getting her song played epically this weekend.

Night had been going super well, I'm in a great mood, nights winding down. Only a handful of people left. I see 2 girls make their way to the booth. In my head I'm already saying yes to their request.

Girl: Do you have a list of all the ke$ha songs you have so we can request on

Me: I can pull it up on the computer but it'd be easier to just ask for one

Girl: no we need a list

Me: why do you need a list

Girl: Do you have a list or not

Me: no I don't typically carry around a list of Ke $ha songs but

Girl 2: SO YOU WON'T PLAY IT

Me: play what? You never requested a song, you requested a list, I don't

Girl: WHY NOT

Me: wait, why not what? Why don't I carry a List?

Girl 2: so will you just not play Ke$ha or will you just not play any of our request

Me: I didn't say I wouldn't play anything I just dont have a

Girl: so you won't play any Ke$ha at all?

Me: I never even said that, where did you

Girl 2: oh cause there's sooooo many people here (sarcastically) who would give a shit, there's like no one here

Me: ....I know, that's why

Girl: you know what, Fuck you, your an ass and your not even very good

(Girl storms off and starts bitching to me to some guy)


Me: .......I just dont have a list, like I'm supposed to carry around a notebook of Ke $ha songs (mumbling to myself because they were gone)

Same thing happened to me except I kept the crowd happy and just catered to the kids. The parents got so pissed they complained to the venue (where in resident). The manager lost his shit at me, wrote a scathing email. Almost lost my residency. Modesty aside, thank god they knew I was good so I kept my job
DJ Matty Stiles 6:05 PM - 7 April, 2016
Was actually one of the most depressing and stressful gigs I've had. The aftermath of the PR girls trying to appease the client and the managers wrath (CCing the owner in the email for verisimilitude) made me question my choice as a DJ and I told them no more private functions, just the public
DJ Matty Stiles 6:09 PM - 7 April, 2016
Private functions at the club - you're a jukebox, the clients bitch

Playing to the public, you're a god on a pedestal who does what he wants, when he wants

Sorry for the rant, this was the worst gig I've ever played. I'm told the girl specifically asked for me because she heard me at the club and liked my style. Ok cool. I'm a hip hop DJ. Start of the night. I'm hitting them with RnB slow jams - mum comes up - it's a bit "rappy" don't you think? I knew it was gonna be a long night. Its coming along nicely and I'm playing a party starter, something like jagged edge, where's the party at, and mum loses it at me, demands I play her 80s shit, blondie or some shit, fuck I dunno. So basically they were this white family, the mum, may as well be in that meme: "can I speak to the manager haircut" white trash, thought what I was playing is rap, fuck I shoulda played some fucking 2Pac or DMX, but I didn't, I played the lamest, poppiest, gayest Miley and Rihanna shit I could find. Cleared the floor. The parents got so pissed they left the venue a few hours earlier then I started party rocking and the DF magically filled with kids. The parents made me out to be the most disrespectful, rudest, passive aggressive cocks, I wasn't that fucking bad. The way the manager was speaking in the email you would be forgiven for thinking I banged the birthday girl in the middle of the dance floor. I wrote a fucking essay back to him explaining everything from reading the crowd to integrity to my near perfect track record and everything in between. Also - the duty manager reported to his senior (operations manager) that if I played her 80s shit, I would tarnish the reputation of the club (an institution in my city) I was lambasted for having the audacity to assume such discretion. This actually wasn't true at all. After my email. I shook hands with the big boss, apologised, explained myself and we moved on. Worst gig of my life
 6 6:43 PM - 7 April, 2016
You have to be so careful how you play and what you play when you're at a function that has so many different people who obviously have very different taste in music.

I recently played a private event that had requested the new stuff for the young generation, but they also wanted country music (old and new), classic rock and latin music.... plus they also wanted regional latin music which as we know, it tends to piss of the majority because it's too specific. --- oh, and then the old school requests starting pouring in. lol

Anyway, I pulled it off. Rotated about 3 so songs in each genre while paying attention to the crowd - not only the ones on the dance floor but also the ones not dancing and giving attitude. lol --- It was a challenging gig, but I was given props by just about everyone including those who paid me. Got a few gigs out of that too.

Some gigs , you welcome the challenge because the people are great and the vibe is great. And you can pull that shit off and you enjoy the open format thing. Mixing hip hop and funk with earth wind and fire and Michael Jackson etc etc.

Then, sometimes and, I pray, rarely - you have the gigs where you know it's gonna be a shitstorm with those functions

Problem was, this is a very expensive venue and they forked out a lot of cash to rent out our VIP area and asked for the club resident and payed full rate for everything. They got pissed because they payed so much. Well you get what you pay for. You asked for the club resident and a specific style, then you get that style. Don't complain. They would've been better off going on Craigslist and getting the cheapest mobile DJ they could find.

Biggest DJ company in my area (friendly competitor) is setting up for a gig at a local hot-spot. All I'm doing is running lasers. Two seconds after the party starts, I got a whole crew of old guys coming up and telling me to "turn this sh*t off, it's the gawd awfulest music they've ever heard." I just laughed at them and told them they were out of luck and the old folks bar was down the street. They got pissed and left. The DJ came up to me later and asked what went down. After I told him, he thanked me! :)

You need ID to get into the club. It was a 21st. No kids :/ everyone was over 18

And yeah they should've asked for a mobile DJ. You don't go to a Mac store buy a Mac and complain how it can't run windows. Request for a sushi chef and expect KFC. I don't play weird 80s music, I never have. They shouldn't have specifically asked for me.

the thing that haunts me is how this thing played out.

my meeting with the parents and the birthday girl 3 days before the gig.

parents:good evening and thank u for coming. the reason we asked to meet with u is becos we just want to make sure that everything is in place and sorted out before sat.

me:i totally undastand.no problem.

parents:our daughter(tiffany) insisted in having u as her dj cos she heard u playing at the club.

me:ok...wel maybe i should b paying her then for the recommendation(tiffany blushes n parents laugh)

parents:as u may know we r spending a lot of money to make this an unforgettable birthday for our princess.

me:i understand and i will do my utmost to help make it unforgettable.

parents:good.so we take it u know what type of music she wants?

me:well i know what the younger crowds like but if tiffany have any special requests it would b best if she tell me now so that i can put it in my playlist.

tiffany:no. i just want u to play the way u play at the club.

me:ok no problem.

parents:the reason we booked the club is becos we want our kids in a safe environment with no unwanted guests.

me:understandable and as the owner may have told u, we have very strict security and a controlled environment so the

safety of every1 is guaranteed.

parents:yes he told us.well thank u for ur time n see u sat then

me:my pleasure. before i go can u please tell me will the parents be attending the party as well?

tiffany comes up to the booth:donny wtf?wt shit is this.

me:uhm look ur parents requested this so let me just play 1 or 2 songs for them to make them happy n get them off my back n then we can get back to rocking this party.

tiffany:ok but i dont know y my fucking parents always have to spoil everything(clearly irritated)

weirdest part is that afterwards the parents write an essay to the club owner saying how unhappy they were wir my performance cos i spoilt their daughter's 21st n she is very unhappy n got ridiculed by all her friends cos her party sucked.

Sorry for the rant, this was the worst gig I've ever played. I'm told the girl specifically asked for me because she heard me at the club and liked my style. Ok cool. I'm a hip hop DJ. Start of the night. I'm hitting them with RnB slow jams - mum comes up - it's a bit "rappy" don't you think? I knew it was gonna be a long night. Its coming along nicely and I'm playing a party starter, something like jagged edge, where's the party at, and mum loses it at me, demands I play her 80s shit, blondie or some shit, fuck I dunno. So basically they were this white family, the mum, may as well be in that meme: "can I speak to the manager haircut" white trash, thought what I was playing is rap, fuck I shoulda played some fucking 2Pac or DMX, but I didn't, I played the lamest, poppiest, gayest Miley and Rihanna shit I could find. Cleared the floor. The parents got so pissed they left the venue a few hours earlier then I started party rocking and the DF magically filled with kids. The parents made me out to be the most disrespectful, rudest, passive aggressive cocks, I wasn't that fucking bad. The way the manager was speaking in the email you would be forgiven for thinking I banged the birthday girl in the middle of the dance floor. I wrote a fucking essay back to him explaining everything from reading the crowd to integrity to my near perfect track record and everything in between. Also - the duty manager reported to his senior (operations manager) that if I played her 80s shit, I would tarnish the reputation of the club (an institution in my city) I was lambasted for having the audacity to assume such discretion. This actually wasn't true at all. After my email. I shook hands with the big boss, apologised, explained myself and we moved on. Worst gig of my life



Lol @dj integrity while playing a child's Bday party

You need ID to get into the club. It was a 21st. No kids :/ everyone was over 18

And yeah they should've asked for a mobile DJ. You don't go to a Mac store buy a Mac and complain how it can't run Windows .

Yeah, relatable. I remember mentioning my "orange home improvement" store debacle party where the manager & maybe 8 employees were Hispanic/Latino and the remaining 93 or 94 employees were Black - and I mean southern HOOD BLACK. Dirty gold teefus and all. And the manager said, "NO RAP." How am I gonna play Spanish music all night for a crew of 9 and over 90% of the people want rap? Yo, I had to call for back up that night because I was sure I was going to get either snuffed, jumped, robbed, or my equipment destroyed. I made it out there unscatthed but not without a war of words and the "you're the worst DJ ever!" banter.

The kicker - the same store reached out AGAIN last week, 4 years later. Go figure. If i take it I am trippling my fee with a 65% deposit and a clause stating that if I feel that my well-being or equipment may be in harm's way I can pack up and leave. Also something to the effect that I will be the sole judge as to what music to play that will keep the majority content.

Not a request but still a customer interaction that fits in this thread. I'm djing and outdoors venue so customers are all up in my shit and this drunk college kid is hovering around me:

Kid: so question: what's the biggest stage you've played and for who?

Me: ehhh I'm a club dj so I don't really play "big stages" or open for people but I've literally played every big venue within about 2 hours of here

Kid: whoah. That's the coolest part about Djing. It all just happens overnight

Me: wait...say what

Kid: ya man. I mean one day your a nobody and the next day your playing for thousands of people

Me: Ummmm it dosent really work like that. I mean I've been doing this for 15 years working my ass off.

Kid: nah Bro....all it takes is 1 track

Me: ............ (thinking: fucking Zach effron and his bullshit)

Just finished setting up for a party this weekend. The common "Hey, I'm a DJ too" guy steps up to announce, "Hey, I'm a DJ too ", (but who the f*ck asked you?). He says, "don't worry, I'm not gonna touch anything." Then he goes on to say, "what is all this? All of this stuff is too complicated for me. I don't understand this mess".

But I thought you were a DJ, bro...

Then he walks off...
skinnyguy 9:48 PM - 18 April, 2016
guy walk into the booth and starts hawkin so i ask if he had a request. no, he just wanted to watch. i ask if he dj's too...he mentions he has a pioneer sb (i'm using a denon 4000).

then he prods me, "c'mon man, do some filters and fx remix that shit live". sorry, but i'm not the guy who twists knobs and filters throughout every single song. to me, that's not remixing, that's playing around. but i give him a simple filter twist. and he gets giddy. i give him a yay-but-meh reaction. he tries to get me to do more, but nope. interesting note....nowadays, kids want you to turn knobs instead of a skratch or juggle to impress them.

he watches me mix and i guess he notices i'm using xtendz (smashvidz) for my tracks. "oh, so all your stuff is pre-mixed?" at this moment, i think our definitions of "pre-mix" are a bit different, to which i reply "no". "but you just choose those tracks and everything is mixed in." and proceeds to storm out of the club, world shattered.

smashvidz stuff is quite straight to the point without fancy samples, fatman scoop, or re-drums. i'd like to be there when he sees the other dj's libraries in my area with crooklyn clan stuff.

I had a girl talk her way OUT OF getting her song played epically this weekend.

Night had been going super well, I'm in a great mood, nights winding down. Only a handful of people left. I see 2 girls make their way to the booth. In my head I'm already saying yes to their request.

Girl: Do you have a list of all the ke$ha songs you have so we can request on

Me: I can pull it up on the computer but it'd be easier to just ask for one

Girl: no we need a list

Me: why do you need a list

Girl: Do you have a list or not

Me: no I don't typically carry around a list of Ke $ha songs but

Girl 2: SO YOU WON'T PLAY IT

Me: play what? You never requested a song, you requested a list, I don't

Girl: WHY NOT

Me: wait, why not what? Why don't I carry a List?

Girl 2: so will you just not play Ke$ha or will you just not play any of our request

Me: I didn't say I wouldn't play anything I just dont have a

Girl: so you won't play any Ke$ha at all?

Me: I never even said that, where did you

Girl 2: oh cause there's sooooo many people here (sarcastically) who would give a shit, there's like no one here

Me: ....I know, that's why

Girl: you know what, Fuck you, your an ass and your not even very good

(Girl storms off and starts bitching to me to some guy)


Me: .......I just dont have a list, like I'm supposed to carry around a notebook of Ke $ha songs (mumbling to myself because they were gone)

Hahaha. No doubt. I always have an RCA to 1/8" cable ready for those pesky requests I don't want to have cluttering my library. I usually search the song on Apple Music, download it to my phone so it's not streaming and play it. I typically do this mostly for mobile gigs. For clubs or any other event, I've learned to just have my phone plugged in with a mix ready to go just in case something malfunctions.

Last Sunday I was DJing at a bowling tournament for the USPS and this drunk girl came up to me and asked if I could play a song off her phone. Of course I could but I wasn't going to because her songs were not clean. It was a family event. I thought she was throw a fit but she didn't. Kinda surprised me because she had that self entitled vibe. I offered to look for her songs and download the clean version or whatever but she said it was fine.

Probably the only drunk girl I've encounter in many years who isn't a lame ass. She even thanked me and said I was playing some good stuff.


Oh, btw, having your phone at the end of a mobile is great. I usually play music while I'm packing my stuff up. People love that because it's not silence. I turn the music way down so people can mellow down, chat and what not and pack up. It does help calm people especially when they're too drunk.

sometimes Ill use an extrended version out of the acapella of No Hands.
DJ Matty Stiles 5:05 PM - 7 June, 2016
yeah the aca in method would work well!

Yes, so right about the viral power.

I just downloaded it (and a karaoke version) off itunes. I was gonna use the original beats at the end of the song but there was a bit too much going on so thats why I got the karaoke version to get the pure drums and combine it with the synth and vocals at the beginning. Had to warp the synths and drums together but then when the drop comes the rest of the track is unwarped. If ya get what I mean. So the whole "boy you should know that..." has a bit of funkiness to it. Oh and I also made a "hook first" as well.

Me thinking maybe it's some kinda Hit The Quan record, checked on my phone on some pools couldn't find it, so went on Google. So I previewed it...i don't mind playing shyte but not this one.

Another girl comes and request Shabba - Mr loverman, she hasn't even left my side I just worked it in pronto

The other dude requesting the previous sing starts fuming that I took the girls request and not his, I told him because she made a wonderful request.

So will ya play hit the difference he asked, I said no.

Another one not a request per se.

Lately the bar manager always tell me to keep the dance floor packed which is no problem, but I'd like to to think that will reduce the amount of people buying drinks.

I don't like burning people out quickly and I try to dip out into something easy and build them up again.

Maybe not?

You are right for sure You dont want to burn people out. and cycling them off the dance floor too buy drinks makes sense.

But there's always an exception. My residency last night was crazy busy, It's bachelorette season. We had 20 of them show up. And they come early. Well the club only fits 450 people. And we are full by 11:15 (open until 2). Now that it's summer busy levels, we are packing the floor and burning people out on purpose to make room for more new fresh drinkers. We (I DJ as a duo on saturdays) play VERY mainstream top 40 until about 11pm then we move to more hip hop, then shit we like and are pretty dark and dirty trap, dubstep, future bass, future house, some big room. Anyway the music switch is helping us to clear people out and make room for fresh people.
DJ Marv the Maverick 6:58 PM - 12 June, 2016
Yeah, the Genre switches definitely help in cycling the dance floor.

You start with what you think will jump, crowd is nodding but not dancing, you switch till they are hopping and you go back to the same genre that they didn't dance to, and they now like it.

BTW I'm not getting decent reaction from Rihanna's Work despite it being requested by two Hen groups last night.

I like the OG, maybe will try the one of the 98/100 bpm refixes.

One Dance goes hard though.

Exactly. A good bar DJ will rotate the dance floor, keep people out there for 2-3 songs and then bring in another style/Genre that will have some leave and others run to the dance floor.

We're on the same page, I'm generally not a short mixer so 3 songs might be 10-15 minutes. My timeframes and play style varies with the crowd (and venue). The key is to watch the people on the floor and change it up when they start to lose their energy - or when the bartenders are just standing around.

had a stupid drunk girl lean over decks and hit the needle off the record....went from loud to no music, All you could hear was the girl yelling her request to me. I purposely asked her to repeat it during the silence and she said it again. I nod my head and she turns around and everyone is looking at her. Pretty funny IMO. :)

had a stupid drunk girl lean over decks and hit the needle off the record....went from loud to no music, All you could hear was the girl yelling her request to me. I purposely asked her to repeat it during the silence and she said it again. I nod my head and she turns around and everyone is looking at her. Pretty funny IMO. :)


lmao

DJ Marv the Maverick 10:34 AM - 17 July, 2016
Last nights bar gig.

Two floors

I'm djing the all weather garden area, dance floor is packed, guys walks up to me and asks for something different, i said asked what song....cant remember the title but i'm sure i didnt have it and politely responded sorry i dont have that track.

1 hour later

"Is this the best you can play" "The music is appalling"

Just as i was transitioning, not only did i miss the point where i wanted to cut in i was livid as hell.

I just told him

sir, these are your options tonight

Me on this floor
Band in the next room
Or any other establishment on this strip
If you come back to my booth i will have you thrown out

10 mins later i rotated genres and saw him dancing like he won the lotto

Whats it with folks request during transitions or when you try to do something on the decks/mixer

is it that they listen to the tune and decide before he plays the next one let me quickly get in my request...maybe

Bridesmaid comes up at a wedding to request a slow Beyonce song during a floor-filling dance mix. As she's telling me to "play it now", she leans over and bumps the needle off the record. Music stops, everyone's looking, and she just stands there with a baffled look as I explain to her (and all those who suddenly stopped dancing) that SHE is the reason the music is no longer playing.

Im setting up this last Saturday night (college night) and some duechenugget fratstar comes up and asks for "broccoli" i tell him im not even playing yet but mabye later. Of course he sends his friend up immediately afterwards (because ill never piece together that theyre in cahoots since there are literally 4 people in the building and they are all standing together)

Guy: hey man will you play broccoli?

Me: Ya, later

Guy: you mean later as i youll play it?

Me: ....no, later as in never. What do you think later means?

Guy: well why cant you play it now

Me: cause its a popular song and im not playing it until people are here

Guy: why not just play it twice

Me: im not gonna do that

Guy: but why not

My dj friend who happened to be there: look, hes not gonna say it because hes on the clock but im not so I'll tell you. Hes not going to play it twice because THE SONG IS FUCKING GARBAGE AND HE DOSENT EVEN WANT TO PLAY IT AT ALL.

Guy: your crazy. That song is HOT

My dj friend: No that songs fucking retarded. Are you going to sit there and seriously tell me its not a stupid song

Guy: well.....i mean....ya, its pretty dumb

My dj friend: SO WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU REQUESTING IT!!

Guy: ummmm....i dont know. Its new and everyone else likes it. What song do you like

My dj friend: probably nothing you like but i dont mind that jordan Belford song people request


Guy: jordan belford? That somg was good like 3 weeks ago......you probably wouldn't do good djing to a college crowd

Of course that started its own shitstorm but that pretty much sums up todays music culture perfectly

DJ Reflex 11:39 PM - 27 July, 2016
^^ Sad, but true! ^^

Another one...
So I'm DJing a city wide festival a while back that was specifically presented as a "Street Dance Party" and "Laser Show". First song rolls out (with the sun still out and barely 6 people in attendance) and these 4 morbidly overweight, sweatpants and flip-flops wearing girls come up and ask if I take requests. "Sure" I say, "What do you want?"

Heifers: "Play some good country music."
Me: "Sorry, not tonight, I'm not a country DJ and this isn't a country party. You want country
music, go down to the fairgrounds, they got country bands all day."
Their response: "You're a crappy DJ, you need to play what WE want, we're the only people
here anyway."
Me: Put the headphones on and ignore them.

After the event (which several hundred people attended and was very successful given it's first annual run) the coordinator comes up and asks if I talked to the original group of girls that came up. I told her about the country music requests. I was relieved to hear the coordinator's response... "Oh heck no, this isn't country night - they can go to the fairgrounds for that crap."

BTW - I found out recently that there were way more peeps at the street party in 3 hours than they had at the fairgrounds all day!

He was right, of course. You're obviously getting too old for that clientele. Takes a while for the stupid to start wearing off, but once it does, well, there's no going back.

"Broccoli" ...lol. And the track your partner suggested is just as bad.

RonDu 3:37 PM - 1 August, 2016
Played a Jamaican 35 Year wedding anniversary party Sat. Pure 60's-80's reggae and soca. Nice vibe. Some dude comes up to me and asks if his friend can get on my turntables for 10 mins. I look to see who the dude is and he couldn't be no older than 24 years old. It is rare that he would know any of the songs this crowd wants. So I look for his back back. Dude didn't have anything so he wanted to go through my laptop to play songs. I looked at the dude like he was stupid. Told his boy he needs to talk to the person throwing the party.

10 mins later the young man still hasn't spoken to me but he comes over to stare at my laptop to the point that I could feel the difference in temperature from the shadow he casted on me. Then he's staring at my turntables like it's a foreign object or something.Still hasn't said a word to me. I knew he had no idea how to operate them by the look of puzzlement on his face. Every song I loaded he looked at me like "WTF" then felt stupid when the people went crazy when it was played. I guess he realized he was far out of his lane when he bounced.

I mean seriously - you wanna play on my tables and you don't even have music? Go through my $h*t and I don't even know you?? F.O.H.. This is one of the reasons I bring my tables because most of these controller DJs have no clue how to use them.

Idiot.

Maybe this has been said over and over, but it happens to me... Over and over...

People just showing you their cellphone screen with a song written on it (either YouTube or their own music library), with the screen fully lit...

Every single time it jump-scares me as I almost have a seizure of the phenomenal intensity of light they just shoved right into my face, like the light of a thousand suns/ Tien Shinhan's "solar flare" (usually they believe that 1 inch from my face would be a good idea for me to be able to read it correctly).

I push their arm back and tell her, what's up with your phone? It's dark in here, dim the intensity before shoving it in my face. And secondly, don't shove it in my face, back up a bit, I can read like a regular human being...

Can't believe that they don't even understand what I mean, they usually have a very puzzled look on their face while looking back at their phone, wondering what my "tantrum" is about.

Is it just me?

For some, maybe. After all, whatever I express is only one man's opinion. I was able to pick out the essence of what you wanted to say, at least.

Embelishing is fine, to a point anyway, however, as they say, 'enough is enough... Anything beyond is too much'.
Robejz 1:14 PM - 17 August, 2016
I had a guy come up to the booth recently and, without saying a word, showed me the Notes app on his phone where he'd written, "Can you stop with the black music and play some dance/trance/house?" I just laughed at him and carried on.
 6 2:09 PM - 17 August, 2016
I have an app where I can just write a big NO and show it back to them. Works wonders.

I have to admit, I've used my cell to request songs before...

But I have an app that makes your phone screen a scrolling LED billboard. I just typed in the song and showed the DJ (from the dance floor) the request. He smiled, nodded and gave me the thumbs up.
Heard the song about 3 minutes later. :)

I've been leaving a note pad and pen for people to write requests for the longest. I also sometimes put my number up for people to text me their requests.

The problem with the notepad.... Drunk people's handwriting and some of the writing of sober people too is difficult to read. lol

The problem with the texting of requests, some people go crazy with it - but I just ignore them. I don't ever reply to anyone. I just either play the song or not. Sometimes they suggest some stuff that I would have not have played and I should have so that's good.

A note pad is good, also use to keep track of what people are asking for on the regular and what type of crowd was at the club on a particular night.
Don't care for the texting. Spend enough time on the phone as it is, looks bad appearance wise. Also, they haven't figured out how to text me $20 bills with those requests...

Great weekend.
Friday, club is packed, even though First Friday party was cancelled due to severe weather from Hurricane Hermine. Group of 30 somethings dancing, of the of the group in particular really getting into the music. She totally blows out her pants, ripped completely open, leaving her butt totally exposed (thong or na). Dances another hour and a half because she likes the music so much, constantly coming up to the stage giving me hugs and hi fives, LOL.
Saturday, place is rocking, get a $20 tip to play a song, fairly common. A little while later, a guy from a group that has been dancing for a while comes up and drops a fifty - no requests, just enjoying the music. Those are my favorite kind of tips. I'd say around a third of the tips I get are that, rather than somebody wanting something specific.
Also did a couple of sets of Freestyle, Bass & Breaks - it is great to watch some people get so excited, like taking a time machine back to their youth, music they haven't heard in years. I get a lot of people who get pretty emotional about the mix I play, though it's probably more the alcohol, LOL.

Not so long ago I had a chick hum the melody of a song for me to find it.

Problem is, she was humming the "melody" of the rapping part, not the actual melody of the song, chorus or even just the music (wouldn't that make more sense?).

Anyways, in the end she came back to me and showed what song she wanted on youtube...
"Wu-Tang Clan - Gravel Pit"

I would've never guessed. EVER.

Also when they request a song but have the title all messed up, like they don't know the title but they know one line from the lyrics (usually not even from the chorus), like "that's it, you're the pro, you should know which song I mean"

Sometimes it's still obvious which song they mean, but sometimes it just isn't, especially if the line they know are common as f*ck.

Sometimes, no matter what you do, you won't be able to get the request right.

I was DJing an event for senior citizens. Event is almost done and this little old lady comes up asking for a request. She starts humming the song. I think I got it. Play the song. It isn't it. So, she hums the song again. In an attempt to not get it wrong a second time, I point to the screen to see if that was her song I had selected. She tells me she can't see that well. Okay. So, give her my headphones so she can listen to the song before I play it. She tells me she can't hear that well. lmao!!!

So, I played the song. Wrong again. lol

The odds were stacked against me. lmao

that would be genius or just make it to where they can request with an app and it takes other songs with similar names for a time period. like it gives them 10 or 100 and it takes like 1-5 mins so they get frustrated and give up

Got a few of the classics last night, playing at a relatively small rooftop bar (maybe 60-80 people I think) where the space provided to set up was right in amongst all the people.

Highlights were:
"nobody likes this, that's why nobody is dancing...you should play R Kelly"- while pointing to a full dancefloor. End of the night the same guy made a point to come up to me to thank me for playing such good music all night.

I got a 'can you play' request for the song that was playing at the time. It happened to be outhere brothers- boom boom boom. Pretty sure he just heard everyone singing along with it and decided he'd be a genius if he got me to actually play it.
Same guy also asked for 'we want some pussy' - one of the usual things where the whole group knew the hook and went nuts then looked all confused and awkward until it came up again. Ended up just quick mixing into 'fight for your right' to keep it going.

In the middle of playing some deep house stuff "can you play build me up buttercup for my mum?" - I likely could have got away with it for this particular crowd, but when she started demanding it be next song. I went with the easy "I actually don't have that song"(a lie) so naturally the phone/youtube came out. When I told her I didn't have a way to connect it (also a lie) she put her phone on the mixer just said 'you'll find a way'
Half an hour later her phone was still just sitting on the mixer.
DJ Matty Stiles 11:43 AM - 11 December, 2016
^^^ classic

Ahh the old "can you play the song that's currently playing"

Couple years ago I had someone demand I play LMFAO right now, as shots was blaring out the speakers

On your build me up buttercup song. I had someone demand I play the Beatles when I was opening with house to an empty venue

Man I swear this thread is golden. So much great material you could actually write a book

last nite, some 40+ women with 3000$ prada bags wallk up as im finishing setting up, still on the house computer that plays music.

"hey you want to know what we wanna hear?'

no

'you know what we want'

uh no

'dont be like that, look play-'

i havent even finished setting up, this is just the house music

ok this is what we want

who are you? i dont know you - :turns up booth monitor as loud as it goes:

they walk away


Best way to deal with them is to just blare them out with the booth 😂 I'll remember that for next time

Reminds me of this time I literally just arrived st the booth, had not even put my bag down.

These women in their 50s came up, face red with indignation. "Fucking turn it down" (the house system was playing, it wasn't even loud)

It actually surprises me how clueless everyone still is about how anything works.
Considering I'm sure we've all had the "oh I'm a DJ too" and everyone and their dog seems to have a controller these days, it would be nice to think that would mean people at least have a basic idea how things are.

Problem is that most people are ignorant and the biggest pros are the 1's who are NOT even dj's. They are usually the 1's who knows what are the best tracks to play and when it should be played. What i hate the most are those guys who comes to the club once every blue moon and then wanna use me as their wingman. Requesting that insane track that's gonna make them look cool cos they know every word to the song. I decided that i only do requests for regulars becos they have a better understanding of how the club environment works rather than those johnny come lately types who base their requests on the shit they listen to at home.

I had this grumpy chick at a cooperate Christmas party last week tell me to change the song every time a new one came on. After about 10 minutes of that, I just put on the longest 7 minute remix track I could find and took a bar break.

About half an hour later, she's back on the dance floor giving me the "fingers across the throat" routine to "cut it and play a new one." I got on the mic and asked her if she was requesting Vogue by Madonna... she keeps framing her face - Her friends went nuts! :)

I did a wedding 2 weekends ago. The owner of the house, who I've never met before, seemed bipolar to me. The bride's mom told me to just ignore her but how can you ignore the owner of the house? lol

Anyway, she was super nice for the most part, but the bipolar would come out for no reason and start acting just rude to everyone. So, nice, then rude, then nice. It was weird.

She was super happy that I played a song she asked for. She even asked for my card right after it played.

Luckily, every time she became rude and was heading my way for whatever reason, she was blocked by the bride's mom. I need to hire her as security. lol

Yeah, this is true.
It's actually one of my pet hates though about DJing with a laptop. People just seem to think you're working through something that is familiar to them. So it's always "jump on youtube" etc.
Even if they can see the screen with an entirely unfamiliar program and a big lump of hardware in front of it.

In this case I was actually playing on rekordbox, which I had hastily created smart crates in the same day to adjust my Serato library to suit when I found the venue had an XDJ-RX and nothing else (and taking my own turntables was useless as it was on a roof deck which bounced when people were dancing)
I'd had about 10 mins experience total mixing with rekordbox before I started that set and first time I've ever used a controller. Last thing I wanted to do was complicate the setup by hooking anything else up.
Although- in my 'cover all bases' because I was on unfamiliar hardware- I did have an aux cable hooked to my Ipad with spotify, my SL-3 connected to the mixer mixer channels so worst case I could run INT mode through Serato AND a bunch of CDs in my bag. I wasn't leaving anything to chance.
Really made me miss the effective simplicity of DVS pre-controller though. As long as it had RCA out, you could make it work.
I had a bag full of USBs with controller firmware, laptop drivers and manuals for the thing just so I could be sure of getting it working with RBDJ.

Did an early gig last Saturday at a mansion on the water. Started at 6, I had to leave early for my club gig so anoother DJ I know was coming to finish off the night. I couldn't use my SZ as I needed it for the club gig. He has a sweet Nexus2 setup but I didn't have time to set up enough Rekordbox crates for this type of party. I had to dig out my SL3 from a coffin and brought one of my Denon SH5500s and fired up Scratch Live, none of which I've used in a few years. Had a scare when he couldn't get his PC to see the CDJs (as he had no Serato library) but we got it sorted and instead of ending at 10 he finished up after 2am. The pay was good, always nice to double dip gigs on a weekend day.

Mr. Goodkat 11:06 PM - 20 December, 2016
ever notice when the 'insert next pop trend band' requests start, the pronunciation is always wrong?

ex. a girl wanted to hear the congos, which is a really cool request, except i was about 99.999% sure she wasn't a fan of 70s reggae. So i have about 3-4 congos songs and think maybe she got another famous group mixed up from the internet, but of course even that is far fetched. finally i figure out she means, 'Kungs' somehow. Its kinda of a dj 6th sense after 15+ years. apparently the song blew up in the spring but i had requests 2 nights in a row for it at pop/mainstream venues.

ex 2 is the obvious Florida request for FLO-Rida. that one never fails to get a mental lol

nothing special but I had this woman ask for a song called 'Young And Rich' she doesn't know who sings it....... I tell her that can be anybody and the only songs named that are not the one she wants. After about 30 minutes she comes back up with her phone of course with the song.....Blase by Ty Dollar Sign and Future.

it says "I'm Young And I'm Rich" ONE TIME in the whole song and thats what she thought the title was smdh.

Told her I played it already she begins to argue with me and wouldn't yield. I showed her my library, the song we blue and explained to her that anything blue is already played she did not believe me. I got thick and told her where to go.

Best one I hade which still brings a tear to my eyes,

Local residency spot, packed crowd.....I noticed one girl who was shy to approach me while I was getting the crowd going. I also noticed she was down syndrome (Isn't really relevant but makes me smile in the end)...I flagged her over because I knew she wanted to request a song....her request was Sean Paul - I'm still in love with you.

I echo'd out the current song and played this for her. Her face was priceless and she ran to the dancefloor and danced the whole song in the middle to herself.

Best DJ moment of my life in which it wasn't about the numbers or getting people into the room...but just giving someone the confidence to dance and not care who's there.

Good stuff and still to this day you still have a bunch of dumb ass clueless selfish self centered people out there especially when their butt ass drunk then all shit really goes out the window. I get it all the time where I play at but that's a club/bar for you your always going to get stupid ass restarted drunk fucks who think they know more than you do and make the dumbest requests and think they are the only ones up in there and the hell with everyone else. Just being real as they say the truth hurts sometimes.

Example female be up in there for an hour and I am playing EDM upbeat dance type music and she is like after an hour of being there can you play some rap? And I am like to myself you have been here all this time and when have you heard me play any rap during that whole time you have been here? I give the stupid look to her and say nope no rap in here tonight and go back to what I am doing. Some people are just totally clueless and the alcohol doesn't help with that whatsoever.
MRenegade 10:35 PM - 25 May, 2017

akaTRAP 12:49 AM - 26 May, 2017
I once had a girl come up to me, ask for a song, leave, then came back up and told me "I changed my mind, I want a different song". Unfortunately for you, I didn't change my mind. I didn't give a fuck about your request then, and I damn sure don't care about it now.

I've had people ask me about mixtapes. Like I'm really going to play your nobody friend's shitty ass music and ruin my reputation for someone I don't even know.........

I WISH PEOPLE WOULD STOP PUTTING THEIR PHONES IN MY FACE! Also, DON'T SING THE DAMN SONG YOU WANT! If you don't care enough to know the title and/or artist, why should I?

I have a deep hatred for people that ask me for Kodak Black.

I hate random white girls (are you seeing a common theme here?) that walk around the rope, stand in my DJ booth, not say anything for a good five minutes, just to ask me for some trash ass song. 1) I DON'T KNOW YOU. DON'T COME AROUND THE ROPE. 2) I DON'T KNOW YOU. DON'T COME AROUND THE ROPE. 3) revisit 1 and 2.

I wasn't DJ'ing, but I was with a buddy when some random girl (white) asked for some song. Mocking her, we also started asking for songs, only for her to be oblivious to us making fun of her and go "My song is first". THEN she turns to my friend, also white, and asks "Why are you up here? You're white"..........So, according to some random white girl, a white guy isn't allowed to be in a DJ booth with two black guys. I learn something new every weekend.

I'm not a fan of girls that press their tits against my arm to ask for a request. I'm a seasoned veteran to the game, sweetheart. It takes much more than your breasts in a padded bra to get my attention.

I once had a THOT say to a friend and I in the DJ booth, and I quote, "You should get us a free drink". So I made her drink the backwash of my champagne bottle. I was sick that night, so I killed two birds with one stone.

I've had a second-rate DJ (mind you, I play at a college bar, so there are a ton of shitty frat DJ's wanting my spot) come into my booth and attempt to steal a drink from me. He never came back after that.

Can I just point out how dumb you have to be to ask a black guy if he even knows Outkast?

I've had a group of white girls try to fight a friend of mine and his girlfriend because we wouldn't play their song after attempting to antagonize us. THEN came up to the booth to say I was the worst DJ the bar has ever had, while the bar is at capacity, the dancefloor is packed and moving, and everyone can barely move because of how many people are there. Mind you, capacity is about 600 people, and the line didn't die down until 2am. FUNNY ENOUGH, those same girls showed up the day after and were well-behaved. I wonder why.........

Just got done DJing a Christian Middle School dance... These three bozos keep coming up and requesting Chance the Rapper, Future, and Fetty Wap like they are cool for even knowing these artists. I asked them if they would listen to that with their parents around - as one of the boy's mom was right behind him! She looked rather dismayed at her son's choice of music. The look on his face when he turned around was priceless!

They never returned. They just sat in the corner the rest of the night and watched all their friends have a good time.

I'd forgotten about those types of requests- I haven't done a school gig for ages.
I do remember it always seeming like they were trying to outdo eachother by asking for the kinds of songs you'd just never get away with playing (even a clean edit)
Always done with a certain smugness too, like I'd be impressed by what they're asking for. Half the time I'm sure they don't even expect you to play it, they just want to ask and somehow think you'll be impressed. Half the time it's just a song title yelled.
I did always notice, you'd get the occasional kid that would come up and ask for some slightly obscure older track that would almost impress me that they even knew it- and almost every time I got that, they were the super polite ones when asking for it.

Same here. Especially Elementary School and Middle School gigs. Kids dancing for like the chorus and then standing around doing nothing, parents staring daggers at you for the entire event, song management to try to play something not too dirty, but not so clean that the kids get mad. Staff running around with tennis rackets (if you have to ask, lol)... the stress just wasn't worth it.

Heh. In my experience, I would be playing at urban schools whose audiences were expecting Hip-Hop and R&B (or, on the flip side, the suburban schools who want a mixture of Hip-Hop, R&B, EDM, and Pop), and that one guy (or small group) comes up and asks for Death Metal, then proceeds to sulk in the corner, and talk about how the DJ sucked.

Either the guy was looking for that gawd awful Tim McGraw/Nelly song or he was pulling your leg with the "crap" joke. I've heard it a few times over the years.

Also, I ran into another DJ at a large venue last weekend. He was bragging about how many speakers he blew up at his last event. (He was loading in some brand new Harbingers in the boxes when I was talking to him.) He claimed he owned "the club" in "the city" and had an EDM party last Sat. He couldn't understand why his speakers quit working halfway through the night... "Man, they said 800 watts, but when I cranked them up all the way, they cut out. I bought Alto speakers. I don't think they were 800 watts." Turns out the dude has no comprehension of clipping, gain, wattage or even the need for a subwoofer - at an EDM event!

Hows about you stay at the damn party like everyone else and you MIGHT get to hear your song if you leave me the hell alone!?

Last night this girl comes up at a wedding and requests a song. I play the song she wants. She gets on the dance floor and less than 30 seconds into the song SHE requested, comes over and tells me that this song sucks and I need to change it right now!

I'm from Belgium and I once DJ'd for a wedding where the bride was half Belgian, half African American and the husband was African American military stationed here in Belgium.

They had their respective families at the wedding, the two thirds were Americans who all flew over to Europe for the wedding.

I usually don't do weddings because you get all sorts of crazy requests of older French Music and I don't enjoy playing that too much, this time I accepted as I was assured that the requests would be exactly the same kind of music I listen to myself (Funk, R&B, Soul & Hip Hop + the occasional Cupid Shuffle & Space Jam m, which happened to be their family jam at every party ever).

I gladly accept and honestly it was the best wedding I've played Music at ever.

Here's the funny part, the husband comes over and asks to play some Hip Hop as I had been playing more funk, soul & R&B to please old and young, and requests "Tom Ford" by Jay-Z.

I proceed.

As the lyrics start, the husband is having a really good time and stays next to me:

"Clap for a nigga with his rapping ass
Blow a stack for your niggas with your trapping ass
Clap for a nigga with his rapping ass
Blow a stack for your niggas with your trapping ass"

I look across the room as I come to the epiphany that the people at this particular party are American born, hence, understand the lyrics (unlike most people here in Belgium who don't care or won't ever get offended over a dirty version instead of a clean version, not even at the radio) and I see this old black lady sitting at a table just few meters away from me that gives me a very mad look.

I turn to the groom (who's yelling the lyrics as they go), and ask, "are you sure the lyrics won't offend anyone in here?" He's like "what?" And stops to listen to the actual lyrics, then looks at me and doesn't seem to fully understand what I meant, then I added "he's yelling nigga all the time and I'm, well, white..."

He then looked around and saw that same grandma sitting at the table giving me the angry look, the look on his face changed in an instant and was like "oh shit you're right, please change that ASAP !"

We then started cracking up like dumbasses and had a really good night forth.

So kids, that was the night your daddy almost got his ass kicked by an angry old African American woman because he played music that talks about niggas.

At least you know you're in the clear when you've got the groom with you as it's playing.

Birthday parties used to always be the worst for me for the super left field requests and it's up to you to decipher whether it's some kind of tradition with that group of friends or just the particular person asking for it.

yeah very true, best case it gets everyone pumping, worst case you look like a fool. I was playing a party hosted by the football team a couple years ago, this dude asked me to play this weird ass song, I hestitantly played it, turns out it was the club anthem and it got everyone fired up
Laz219 12:45 PM - 3 September, 2017
Yeah,
I usually just don't put it on until I have something in mind to do a quick mix out if necessary. The other option is just slam it while the person is still next to you and if the response is bad....just point straight at them and move on.

In the middle of playing some deep house stuff "can you play build me up buttercup for my mum?" - I likely could have got away with it for this particular crowd, but when she started demanding it be next song. I went with the easy "I actually don't have that song"(a lie) so naturally the phone/youtube came out. When I told her I didn't have a way to connect it (also a lie) she put her phone on the mixer just said 'you'll find a way'
Half an hour later her phone was still just sitting on the mixer.


LMAOOOOO. Nahh

Personally, nothing irritates me more than the screen-on-full-brightness in my face with the song request.

Literally in my face, like 1 inch away.

A groomsman didnt show up and I was asked to BE IN the wedding ceremony.

Once I did a party for a nice Mexican family. They asked if I could go help carry a huge pot of "birria" or goat stew. That stuff was DELICIOUS!!!!

The groom was hanging out with me all night. Telling me how he used to DJ when he was young and how much does my mixer cost etc etc. I was like "dude this is your wedding go hang out with your wife"

Chicks AND guys have asked me for sex

Do I sell cocaine

What gang am I from



I have been doing this for 23 years here in L.A. I've seen A LOT of crazy stuff

Everything below occurred in the same night:

----

"Can you play a mourning song? A friend of mine had a close family member die and it's the anniversary of that." Proceeds to request some seriously sad songs.

^ same person. Came up repeatedly to request such. Finally stopped when a friend told them to stop and said I thought it was funny or something. 🤷🏾‍♂️

----

The following is all from the same guy:

"You took my fuckin' job." -- before I'd even started unpacking.

"Can you play some Michael Jackson P.Y.T. though" -- before I'm even in the door with gear in tow still on hand truck.

* Every five minutes (or less) from then on for the next hour: *

"when are you going to play P.Y.T.?"

"can I get some fuckin P.Y.T.?"

"should I just not stick around?" or something to that effect.

Some rant along the lines of how I'm terrible as a DJ, how they've been playing drums for years and could take my job, that they could easily do my job, etc., etc. Also, "fuck you", then offers to shake my hand. Calls me a "fuckin' bitch" when I tell them to get off my stage.

They then found my booking number (Google Voice) and now have called it and are also texting it. The most recent message (as of the time of this post) was "All I wanted was PYT lol" -- sent at 5:09 AM.

Whose mans is this?

from the looks of your pics youre tiny? can you?

but seriously nothing comes good from fighting and ive been in plenty.

its literally the worst attitude you can have in djing. You dont know who people are or who they are with. Lets say you do knock someone out, its assault, if they fall and hurt themselves, or you hurt them with a punch, its aggrivated assault. WHat if they have a gun or knife. Or they have homies that know where you work every week. Seriously, its just not bad, but a terrible business mindset.

YOu seem like a young dude and im just giving advice. im sure it sounds like im a pussy or whatever, but having a fight first attitude is dumb. If you're a tiny dude, it just looks stupid because even if your big and tough, theres always someone bigger an tougher.

No you dont sound like a pussy at all. Ive never been in a fight while working nor think it will ever happen ive done a good job of handling drunk/sober people requesting because they are both equally annoying in there own ways. How ever on nights when i dont spin and ive gone out i have been in a few brawls and they are not my proudest moments. Im not a big guy but im not a small guy either 5'9 150 ish llbs so I can hold my own. I dont like to fight but sometimes with some alcohol and some bs from chad and his gucci belt theres gonna be a scrap. But i see where your coming from and respect your opinion 100 percent. Theres always risk involved via legal trouble and health wise aswell
DJ JulioYEG 5:09 AM - 10 April, 2019
dont get the wrong idea lol that was all a joke. And i dont reccomend fighting while on th ejob for obious reasons. But they do happen alot more common now when going out as a patron side of things
Mr. Goodkat 5:18 AM - 10 April, 2019
yeah, its tough. i started pro djing when i was older, 25, really didn't get big gigs til i was around 29-30. Prob alot of it was insecurity and letting my ego get in the way once i got successful combined with 00s wild partying and playing 4-5 times a week.

taking little things like what happens in this thread too seriously. It was like a parody movie of what not to do at times. Like i got in a fight with a bouncer even, he was about 6'4'' 250 and i was about 5'10'' 180 at the time. Slapped a dude for a request. threw a candle at a dipshit and knocked his teeth out. A bunch of other dumb stuff that im not even gonna get into. I was just ego'ed out and drinking too much.

cost me a lot of gigs and connections to new gigs. i got a bad rep as being unapproachable, which i am pretty nice but its hard to explain that when they've heard some crazy story(thats generally been embellished) about you,

I later realized why some people wouldn't wanna deal with the potential for drama and really i was the one with the problem. Of course if someone attacks you, you have to defend yourself but being an aggressor or even talking like one is a dumb because it puts you in that mindset.

just some friendly advice for anybody reading. i'm like grandpa dj at this point.

But ive been there and i know how it is when you're coming up and ppl are kissing your ass, and you deal with some jealousy and hate. the drinking doesn't help either.
