DJing Discussion
This area is for discussion about DJing in general. Please remember the forum rules when posting and try to be polite and inclusive.
Most ridiculous comment/request ever made to you while djing?
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?

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!?

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!

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.

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.

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, ?????????????

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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...

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???

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

And started screaming at me about salsa music. I told her to just pump her brakes and I threw on "born to roll".

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???

^^^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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
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!

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!

Funny!
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"

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.

"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.

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.

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?

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...

girl: I dont know, just play some better music...

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.

^^ 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.

.. 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.

oh man, these are great! . . . so here are my two cents: I'm spinning at a 16th bday party for this one-dude. 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 :)

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.

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".

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)?'

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?

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

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.

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...

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?!

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?

So that is how mashups are born.
1. Take notes of what songs you were playing at the time.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

He had a hissy fit saying he doesn't like Reggae and I'm not going to play his song. The dance floor was packed with girls so I told him to go find one and back the f*ck up. Long story short my cousin knocked him out and the party went on.

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!

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..

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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

ha ha this one brought back memories! Was djin at this new club in town. These people are soo used to having djs that dont mix or attempt to wow the crowd. They hire our production company to make an appearence there with our 2 djs including me. We begin to rock the crowd, i like to do quick mixes with no more 2 minute tracks. 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..."
WTF??? ha ha ha.

^^^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.

Go Cowboys, Go Mavs (the Stars/Rangers really aren't our team)

Then "GET THE F*CK OUT FROM INFRONT OF MY BOOTH, or I'LL UNPLUG YOUR DIALYSIS MACHINE"

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"

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 the only way to avoid people going through your crates and cd cases would be to do what a dude at a wedding i went to did. i was like hey let me peep your cd's and he was like ok... they all said "wedding mix 1" or "mix 17" or "random 12" my friend was like... what did he have? i had to say "i have no idea"
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?

My favorite thing to say if they get too annoying or tell you how to play a song is "Do I come to your workplace and tell you how to do your job???"

^^My mixtapes would always get "borrowed" so I used to label my mixtapes "Best of Barbara" or "Yani at the Greek". Nobody took those tapes!
Last week, dude came up with a NOTEPAD! and was jocking and writing down songs. After a couple a songs I had to just turn off the screen when I saw him coming.
My friend uses a mac and we set his screen up so when peeps try to peep, he moves the mouse to the corner and they get album art instead.Down with the Lookie lous!

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. I love my ride or die chaldean chick...haha.

Most Annoying:
Wedding - "Can you turn the air up?, it's chilly in here!"
Club - "Can you play Creed or Metallica?" on Old School HH Night!
School Dance - "What song are you playing next?" after every song!
Any event - "Can you turn it down? we're trying to talk." Why sit near the dancefloor?
I still think it's funny that people request Kenny G, it's like requesting good root canal!

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

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?"

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'.

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...

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.

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.

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!

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!?
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?"

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...

(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.

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 !!!!!!

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.

Not Louisiana, Paris, France, New York, or Rome, but--

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!!!"

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!

But the door stayed locked. :D

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. I like going with an old school track that still hot to listen too..... but will make most of the floor go to the bar while still bobbing there heads and singing along

"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...

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

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.

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?

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.

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.

I did get (yo this DJ sucks) totally ignore that dickhead he was pissed off I didn't give him the mic to rhyme. I the only person I gave the mic is the person who paid me.
Well got my first gig out the way, more many adventure await me, lol
Next party I spin at, I will be straight up "Sorry I don't do requests!" When people throw request at you it does throw your set out of wack.

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.
i've done this for 16 years and with the range of events that i do, i cant count on my selection for a flawless set every time. an idea of what type of crowd i am performing for is priceless.

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 ;)

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'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.

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!

LOL you just never know who you could be talking to, what you got to do is make it look like you're trying to help and still get smart at the same time, this way they don't know if to be insulted or say thank you. I would have been like "yeah I know what you mean but sorry I can't, perhaps you should try not looking lights"

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)
6.) Do You have that song that goes la bla bla? ( WHAT? )
7.) Hey DJ, If you play my song, I can get this chicks Phone #! ( nope, but I'll get her # for you at breakfast tomorrow.)
I'll buy some t-shirts.......lol but X-MIX had it awhile back with big letters on a black t-shirt "NO REQUESTS" and "DJ at WORK"

they should make a poster or glow in the dark banner to hang behind you at your gig... kinda like a Starbucks menu... it'll say something like:Sexy Back.........$ 3.00
Laffy Taffy..........$ 4.00
Lean With It.......$ 5.00
YMCA...............$ 5.00
Macarena..........$ 50.00
Chicken Dance..$100.00
so if anyone has a request, just point at the menu while holding out the tip jar :)
I would have to add "The Cha Cha Slide..............$25.00

I'm not a wedding dj, but I happen to do 2 or 3 a year, quick easy money.
I told this chick I would dj her wedding for 700€ all included; then she asks me if I mix without any "blanks" between the tunes?!!? WTF!!?? I just started laughing out loud.
10 years ago nobody would have ask this question, but now it happens with all those Ipods djs fu#king up the business for 100 bucks a night.

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).

What makes you think that JUST B/C YOU ARE LEAVING that i'm going to play your wack ass request next. You are not spending any money at the bar if you are leaving and its only 11pm. 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?

EVERYONE will love it!"
Got this the other night too. End of the night, rocking some slow jams
Playing Next - Too Close
Guy: Play Jamelia Superstar next, I know it mixes, I'm a DJ you can do it without changing pitch!
Me: REALLY, Cus last time I checked this was 101 and thats 110, I'm no expert but that means they aint gonna go without pitching.
Guy: Nah it works. I know, I'm a DJ, Oh you got records, thats old bro, you need 88s. I use 88s They are better.
I just shook my head. What more can you say

that's cause the guys havent found someone to go home with, and they are the last to leave because they got tired of looking for a chick, and got too drunk so they have to wait for a taxi.

They are 4 MCs I'm Duct taping the snake outta the way and the female MC starts going off her tits at me "Turn me up, I can't hear me, I need too... OI Sound guy... TURN ME UP!"
I didn't even look up, "Turn the mic on"
Her: It is on
Me: Take the mute off
Her: What do you think I am.. Stupid? it is off, I can't hear me!
I walk upto the stage, and flick the power and mute switch on the bottom of the wireless 58 and walk away, don't even say a word
