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

Kool DJ Sheak One 8:38 PM 15 September 2006

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

Thundercat 8:44 PM 15 September 2006

It's my birthday, come dance with me...

DeezNotes 8:48 PM 15 September 2006

Can you play (insert song here that doesn't go with whatever it is you're currently playing)? I'm about to leave and I want to hear it before we go.

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

djaction 8:50 PM 15 September 2006

"Play that NEW song about my grills!" (this was like 2 weeks ago)

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

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

I gotta start writing this ish down.

birdbrain 8:50 PM 15 September 2006

the best is when i'm with people making these requests to other people and i just haveto hang my head.

scotty B 9:13 PM 15 September 2006

I was Djing a house party about a month ago. Was spinning mostly underground hip hop/ golden era ish.. there were a lot of cats breaking, and they were damn good. Every five minutes the same 3 girls would walk right through the middle of the circle, come up to me, and ask me to play Sexyback! the first two times I told them I would play that stuff later. after they asked 6 times in a half hour ....I never played it! Something about that song bugs me ever since!

Kool DJ Sheak One 9:20 PM 15 September 2006

We need to make t-shirts with some of these quotes. Shit is comedy.

concorde_pilot 9:21 PM 15 September 2006

i think this will become a very funny thread :D

tig ol' bitties 9:45 PM 15 September 2006

At a Harvard Party I DJ'd:

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

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

tit ol >> classic aswell, but over here in europe it's the opposite. i'm doing a house music party and some girls got pretty upset coz i said i don't play r'n'b ... nasty ..

tig ol' bitties 9:56 PM 15 September 2006

LOL!
yeah man, its one thing if ya know i came prepared and had it, and the dude wasnt trying to like front on me, i would have been glad to play it.
But like when ya get all up in my grill and cop a tude you sure as hell aint getting your way.

Dj Ryme 10:21 PM 15 September 2006

Last night I got "can you play that new song by little joc"

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

And that was just last night!

Freedom 11:29 PM 15 September 2006

Best one is when girl comes request song, you play the song into the mix. 5 min later , Hey did you play my song yet?

they go smoke and mingle and dont even listen.

DJ Evil One 11:34 PM 15 September 2006

Richierollz 12:03 AM 16 September 2006

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

DJ Sheak One, I want in on that T shirt deal.
My best request... "Can you play something decent"
My Reply ........"Yeah I dont think I have that, Who's it by or how does it go" While I'm playing Usher Yeah. WTF

joerockets 12:37 AM 16 September 2006

"Can you play some E-40?" while "I Hope I Don't Go Back" is blaring over the speakers

DJ_Mike_Coquilla 12:38 AM 16 September 2006

^^ that'd be funny if that dude had ssl and handed u a thumb drive with that song, or better yet, forced you to prove it by searching/finding that song by keyword... and you did have it :)

seriously though, i too hate aggressive people and their requests. if people were nice and friendly and just politely asked, i would play it, but if they were hella irate...

m0rph! 12:42 AM 16 September 2006

If anyone wants a good t-shirt, my boy sent me this link the other day:

Personally, I would sew the "moveable button" permanently to the second checkbox (in case some smart-@$$ tried to move it during the middle of my set). LMAO!

Kool DJ Sheak One 12:43 AM 16 September 2006

" No You fucking have that song i know it... now play it, "

cool crowd everybody happy when this girl comes up and says '' could you do a big favour my friend over there is feeling a bit ill and has a terrible headache could you turn the music down a little bit please''
i just looked at her in amazement and smiled when she went down to her friend i cranked it up another notch.
crazy people out there!

TelosHedge 1:50 PM 17 September 2006

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

people were coming up asking for dance music and i told them i wasnt allowed. the bride and groom were so mortified they didnt even come up to us.

CMS 3:35 PM 17 September 2006

@ Telos,

That's why I hate DJing weddings. They may pay more than my residency at the local club, but I don't have to deal with shit like that.

Julls 3:38 PM 17 September 2006

Telos,

I would have done the same thing. Good on you bro!

Kool DJ Sheak One 5:20 PM 17 September 2006

Weddings suck! You got two sides of the family telling you different things.
My favorite wedding quote"Do you like this shit?...Well nobody here likes this shit!"(comin from an 80 year old).

Dj Ace 6:06 PM 17 September 2006

'while standing behind the turntables setting a blend'- Hey are you the DJ?

Dj Ace 6:09 PM 17 September 2006

The funniest thing is I told him I wasn't the DJ and to ask the bartender to show him were the music was coming from!

DJ Nevoc 11:06 PM 17 September 2006

I did a wedding a couple weeks ago and as Im standing there mixing, there girl comes up...

girl: "You the DJ?"

me: "Ya."

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

me: "I'm positive."

girl: "Ok here is your money."

Whigger: "Can you play GOLD DIGGER?" - this happend like two months ago...

Julls 1:14 AM 18 September 2006

LOL @ Gold Digger. That shits funny.

Lando 1:15 AM 18 September 2006

While spinning last weekend, full of old school go-go/house/hip hop heads, one of the waiters asks me if I could play some Johnny Cash or Dolly Parton (mind you, the floor is packed). When I told him "no", he asked where were my CD's and CD player (right when I'm blending "treat em right instrumental" and "knee deep"....didn't know older folks could get hyped like THAT), c'mon man, ?????????????

TelosHedge 1:24 PM 18 September 2006

oh, i love it when people come up to me while i'm mixing. it's my favorite.

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

i think i'm gonna get a big red neon MIXING light and tape it to my head so people know to leave me alone.

ral 3:17 PM 18 September 2006

you still use turntables???

dcquik 3:36 PM 18 September 2006

can you play that one song? umm i forgot what it was called.

DjEmmTee 3:48 PM 18 September 2006

the best one is at 9pm, you get some chick that comes up and says your playing all the old shit, can you play sexy back and then promiscuous girl?

DJ_Mike_Coquilla 5:14 PM 18 September 2006

(10minutes after request....) how about when they be EYEBALLING you across the dance floor giving hand signals and sign language, trying to communicate with you "so like r u gonna play that song or what?"

djaction 5:24 PM 18 September 2006

"Can you play some dance music?"

(in the middle of THE PERCULATOR; people going bananas all over the place too)

dj solomon 5:54 PM 18 September 2006

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

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

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

or my favorite:

wiil you play some GOOD music!

DJ MAC com au 12:09 AM 19 September 2006

This thread is cracking me up! It seems that club patrons all around the world have the same dumb ass questions . . . lol

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

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

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

Mac

dj trends 12:44 AM 19 September 2006

When people ask for shit i dont want to play i always say i dont have it... strangely when they ask for shit that i dont have i always say i have it.. My favorite is after a couple "i dont have that's" they respond with "what do you have?" like i have 45 minutes to list off the 4,000 songs in my computer.

DJ_Mike_Coquilla 1:01 AM 19 September 2006

necessity is the mother of invention.

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

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

i told her come home with me and ill play bachata all night for you at the crib. :-)

DJ Daffy 4:50 AM 19 September 2006

These are 3 of my favorites....

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

or...

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

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

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

Of course if the girl is hot I might humor her through some of these answers and actually try and play what she wants. Unless it's too much work and she's that dumb then I just give up and go back to mixing. HaHa...

MusicMeister 2:34 PM 19 September 2006

Drunk patron: Can you play <insert artist here>?
(note: the artist is CURRENTLY playing)
DJ: Uh, that's what I'm playing...
Drunk patron: Yea, but not this song.

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

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

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

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

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

I say ya give me a bit..All while thinking to myself this track is produced by DJ Premier!!! It doesnt get much better! Maybe he was thinking Lil Jon!

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

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

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

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

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???

myspace.com

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.

S, what exactly were u playin (or whas it complete silence n homie was trippin...hearin wack beats outta thin air)

DJ Bombjack 8:08 PM 19 September 2006

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

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

I get this all the time down in Alabama, because of the way Im setup I can play CDs with a couple button presses, however I don't let them know that and simply tell them I can't play regular CDs, only Serato CDs.

drunk girls: can you play it next?

drunk girls: you suck
me: that's not helping you get your song played any faster
drunk girls: yeah but we love you

song playing: sexyback

girl: can you play something we can dance to
me: (confused, pointing to the floor) I think I am, looks like a lot of people are dancing
girl: yeah, badly

girl: when are you going to play Don't Cha, I've been asking all night
me: soon
girl: (won't go away) (won't go away) (won't go away) (just standing there)
me: mix in next song, beat is playing, I fold my arms and look her dead in the eye, lyrics come in (move bitch get out the way, get out the way bitch get out the way)

dj trends 11:13 PM 19 September 2006

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

Back when i was still on vinyl the new Game CD got leaked on one particular day. The next night some asked me to play "dreams". 1. its slow as hell, 2. the song comes out in 2 weeks.

dj trends 11:55 PM 19 September 2006

I got 2 much too say... The worst shit ever is when you are doing your warm up set. throwings back drinks, auto-pilot, talkin to the female bartender, etc... The some loser ass who parties once a year comes out at 10:09 while the club gets packed at 11:45. Then they come to the booth and say, can you play "shakira, justin timberlake, beyonce, young joc.. etc... right now!!"

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

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

WTF - why didn't she just leave and take her a$$ to a dance club??? *shakes head*

Dj Ace 6:06 AM 20 September 2006

This thread is too funny and real...but fellow DJ's we need to do something about this. How about we all carry around a please read this before you talk to the DJ sign?

It could be sort of like...

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

Rules for requesting songs:

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

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

sincerly,
DJ ACE

djfourmoney 7:37 AM 20 September 2006

I joined just to get my cracks in -

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

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

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

Here some of my favorites -

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

Me: "Like?"

SWG: "Pantera?"

Me: "You can't be serious?"

SWG: "Why not?"

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

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

Me and the crew - LAUGHIN

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

"Do you have somethin other than this?"

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

Here's the best one -

"Can you play Doo-Doo Brown?"

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

They come runnin back

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

Me - "Its playing..."

Girl - "Not this one!"

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

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

I usually ignore most of it now.

DJTonyC 12:22 PM 20 September 2006

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

DJ Nevoc 2:47 PM 20 September 2006

A couple months ago I was still using headphones, and this girl comes up and starts talking...

Girl: blah blah blah,

Me: Security!!

Sexor 4:07 AM 21 September 2006

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.

Yeah, that track is some rubbish "mashup" some idiot did, which sounds awfull from the beginning to the end. Plus you jerk downloaded this from some p2p crap now you wanna front?!

KONUPE 12:12 PM 21 September 2006

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Priceless.

JSoul556 4:42 PM 21 September 2006

Here are my two stories...

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

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

Me: Hi, how ya doin.

Owner: Who do you work for?

Me: Caroll Higgins.

Owner: What kind of music do you play?

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

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

Me: Yes sir!

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

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

I saved the best for last...

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

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

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

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

Hick: Anything but this.

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

....5 minutes later...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Dj Ryme 6:01 PM 21 September 2006

Shit was crazy last week at the club 2 times these girls came to request a song (kiss you back by digital underground and i forgot the other one) and I already had them loaded about to play them, I think im psychic or some shit, my girl was trippin like how the fuck did you know they were gonna request that.

DJ Nevoc 9:51 PM 21 September 2006

The market needs some fresh shirts!
So, we need like a top 5 illest phrases.

"Dj at work, Stay back 10 feet"
"I dont have that song"
"I can make you dance (If I want you to)"
"Sexy Crack"

DJ FLATLINE 3:06 AM 22 September 2006

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

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

-me- Oh, trance!?, ya sure...

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

So, I drop the well known 4 big-floor trance tunes and the little fucker appears again. I have a language barrier to deal with and the fact that he doesn't know what he is asking for...

this reminds me of my very first gig ever (80's house party) a gal rolls up and requests "McDonald's", in my head i was like "huh?"

There's always some stupid bitch with 3 CD singles in her collection trying to decide the music for everyone else...
She usually asks for 'some Hip Hop like Pussy Cat Dolls' - it would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

2.
<4/4 House music playing>
Punter: 'How do you dance to this? (points up to 'the music')
Me: I'm give the 'fuck off' look thinking they're being a wise-ass but no...
Me: 'oh shit, you're serious. um, just dance to what's happening in the music?'
Punter: (thinking) (thinking) (thinking)... "Ok!" (proceeds to take pills and dance like a twat for the next three years of their lives)

3.
<Gangstarr playing>
'Yo, let me see the mic - let me buss a freestyle'
Me: No problems MC No-name, I'm sure your closet flow will blend seamlessly into Guru.

4.
'Can I have a scratch / mix?'
...and then act all surprised and shit when I say nah.

SUBSTANCE 5:20 AM 24 September 2006

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

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

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

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

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

Pioneers.

Me: Awsome I love CDJs

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

Keep in mind the manager is standing there.

Me: That really limits your DJing skill

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

Me: So what are you playing on?

Him: CDXs....

Me: ok Im gonna setup my gear.

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

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

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

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

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

She was quick to turn on her heels and head back to her table where a few other finely dressed ladies were sitting. I didn't get a chance to say anything.

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.

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

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

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

I was playing Buddy when she asked that

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

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

4-
Club Manager in Vegas in 2000 (won't say what club)

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

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

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

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

wtf, will someone explain her logic???

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

Girl: Hey play something we can dance to.

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

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

Me: Girl Dont Cop an attitude with me.

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

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

Same Girl: Hey DJ You Suck!

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

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

and never come back

u got paid??

DJUnknown 3:59 PM 16 October 2006

^^^Why let one bad apple spoil the whole bunch, was she the manager or something? Honestly, you gave her too much play, all that explanation and ishhhhh is not deserving. What I do is play with them, nod my head like "sure" then continue doing my thing. If the same person comes back, I repeat process, I might add a couple words like "coming right up" and act extremely busy, then continue doing my thing. As long as people are dancing, I could give two cents about that one person complaining.

DJ Uncle Needle Drop 4:05 PM 16 October 2006

??? Should lose your job for that one. It's different if the manager @ a New Years party is stupid enough to say that to a name dj, but leaving because some skank in a small club on a slow night talks shit to you?

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

djaction 8:43 PM 16 October 2006

If I played that song, people around here would look at me like "whatchu gonna do next play Milli Vanilli"!!?? That might just get m e boo'd outa the place if I came back like that.

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

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

I dunno about yall, but I'm an absolute dick in the booth. I don't like being approached by randoms, trying to scream their request into my ear. I usually just turn the booth monitor as loud as it can go to drown them out. Some are persistent tho and still try to ask me to play a song, so I just cut them off and say I don't have it before they even get a chance.

Uncle Needle Drop, I'm glad I'mnot the only one who sees through a lot of peoples bullshit on this forum. Nevoc is one of the biggest storytellers on here.

last nite, around 9pm to 9:30, slow weds nite, playing classic rnb 90-95bpm, then this couple approach me, how come the song is not changing? still the same beat? play something danceable! (means house music)

DJ AM 5:40 PM 19 October 2006

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

djivanlopez.com 3:45 AM 23 October 2006

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

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

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

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

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

4. EVERYBODY WANTS TO HEAR IT!

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

5. EVERYBODY WILL DANCE, IF YOU PLAY IT!

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

6. I CAN GET SOME IF YOU PLAY IT!

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

7. I WANT TO HEAR IT NEXT!

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

8. WHAT DO YOU HAVE?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Dj KaGeN 5:47 PM 3 November 2006

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

I didn't play it, cuz she dancing all supa dirty in front of me for a couple hours with some 'other' dude... had she rubbed the goods on me, I woulda considered.

scotty B 6:28 PM 3 November 2006

LOL... Naw homey was just telling how and what to play all night. It was getting old. The drunker he got the worse he was...Obviously. I played quite a few other songs for him as well. trust me I normally would not do some ish like this....I played "it's like that" later that night anyway

DJ_Mike_Coquilla 8:10 PM 3 November 2006

wait a minute... so, you mean there was a guy dressed in fishnet stockings? i'm confused and slightly turned off now :(

Marc D 10:58 PM 4 November 2006

This just happened last night...

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

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

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

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

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

Kool DJ Sheak One 10:34 PM 5 November 2006

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

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

Something about sereto just Fu##s up Drunks, When they see you djing with a computer they flip out, I dj a gig where Im at the same level as the crowd and about 3 feet from the mens restroom, sucks in a major way, you can imagine what I go through

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

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

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

Kool DJ Sheak One 4:46 AM 7 November 2006

Thats that new song that K-fed put out. Guapango on ma mango yo!
People try to show off by requesting some old off the wall genre that is only known to three villages in the heart of the east Colombian jungles.

DJ Unique 7:49 AM 7 November 2006

Guapango???
Maybe Huapango???

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

djrocket 5:08 PM 7 November 2006

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

djrocket 5:09 PM 7 November 2006

However I look into Huapango also.

DJ Unique 7:57 PM 7 November 2006

May be Guapango.
The friend that asked if I knew is Peruvian.
He said that genre was very popular in Peru in his youth.

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

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

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

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

lol happens a lot ;)

@ Telos,

That's why I hate DJing weddings. They may pay more than my residency at the local club, but I don't have to deal with shit like that.

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.

Dj Shamann 3:49 AM 14 November 2006

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

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

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

Anyway a couple of funny ones.

"can you play that song Beenie Man by Romie"

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

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

Her: "No some dancehall"

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

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

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

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

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

Me: yes it is my dear.

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

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

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

*woodbridge is an italian suburb outside of Toronto*

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Okay I'm done now, sorry for the essay but this thread is like much needed therapy.

Kool DJ Sheak One 4:33 AM 14 November 2006

^^ Its good to vent. Those booth flies are the worst. Even if you do play a request, its like giving a little tiny boulder of crack to a crack whore, it just makes it worse.
Because 99% of the time, that person will come back and be like "O.K., now you know what would really be good now is..."
And no matter what Sean Paul song you play, it wont be the one they were thinking of. Fuck em' if they ain't cuttin' the check.

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

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

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

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

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

So if you (wack) DJ want to go that simple route - please do it. But dont tell me how I should play, unless you are paying me and I am not doing a good job. If both is true I might consider your objections. If not, then please shut up and take care about your nights.

nik39 10:03 AM 14 November 2006

.. I remember this one DJ who was always laughing at me cause I came to my gigs with 4 big crates and another bag. He decided it was not necessary, because the crowd only listens to the same shit all the time. He rarely doesnt change the records in his club crates. I prefer spinning a wider range of music and to be able not to be f*cked if the DJ who played before me has played half of the song which I would have in my 2 bags. Well,.. anyway that cat was one of the old and bitter DJs who was only in the game for the money.

omega 11:35 AM 14 November 2006

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 :)

Diamond Duckets 8:51 AM 15 November 2006

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

Newbie DJ: Yo man! Where's your mic?
Me: I don't have one, I use these for djing (show him my hands and turnaround to mix)
Newbie DJ: (Pokes me repeatedly in the ribs) Yo, lemme plug my comp in and rip some reggae.
Me: No man. I'm sorry. (Turnaround again to get back into my rhythm)
Newbie DJ: (Pokes me again in the ribs)
Me: Dude, what?

I saw a flier that said"The best in Reggaetown" So thats what I call it now.
Wont you take me to... Reggaetown?!

DJBlisk 11:24 PM 15 November 2006

I got one!

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

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

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

What the fuck is happy hiphop?

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

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

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

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

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

hahahaha.

Kool DJ Sheak One 11:41 PM 15 November 2006

Happy Hip-Hop=Britney Spears^^

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

Never ever ever play a song if someone says they will give you money after you play it. Demand money up front. They will never give you money after the fact.
Only accept cash in hand before. And then you can decide whether or not to play it.
I had some fuck for brains say he would give me a twenty if I played michael jackson. I said sure, played a jacko track, then had to hunt dude down and he was like "well I didnt like the song you played after that".
Fuckin rich fucks are the tightest liars there are.

ok, so i saw this black dry eraser board at this one restuarant and they used this glow in the dark marker to list their evening's specials....under a blacklight, it looked tight.

so, maybe if there are those who are a lil shy/emarrassed to mentions prices..... at least you can list the songs that you know fo show that you'll get requests (like sexybrokeback, and laffy, and snoop, ditty, debbie gibson, bee gees, villiage people, vanilla, milli) at least they'll take a glance before poking you in the rib to say the obvious 'hey, r u gonna play (fill in obvious song here)?'

DJ_Mike_Coquilla 7:38 PM 18 November 2006

or, if you gots tha clams to fork out for a large flat panel monitor to display your prepare crate, or windows explorer of the obvious tunes you be planning to play/mix/cut/mash-up anyways....i dunno, now im feelin like some human jukebox.

It would turn into a massive "requestathon". But it might be good for weddings tho.
What if you play all the songs on the black board, would the music stop because you had to think of something to play on your own?

sixxx 8:35 PM 18 November 2006

I stopped taking requests in person a long time ago. I just direct them to a nice little note pad because
a) If they don't know the song, they can't hum it, sing it or whatever.
b) If I don't want to play it, I just won't.
c) Some mofos have bad breath! I hate that shit.. brush your teeth before you request shit. hahahaha
d) Gives the girls the opportunity to write their number down, etc if they want to. lol

Trying the same here.

Its so funny how *bad* the spelling of some people is. Even if english (mostly) is not their 1st language, its still a bit embarrassing... however, still funny for the DJ. Running around in "hiphop" clothes - then knowing nothing about it or the language of the songs they are mostly listening to.

Idlemind1999 8:44 PM 18 November 2006

At an office Holiday Party, a co-worker who often engaged in email wars with me decided to send his Stepford wife (en.wikipedia.org) to tell me that her husband thinks the music is too loud. I said," I know there are no rockets or or high-level physics involved, but tell your husband that rocket scientist or not, he should be smart enough to not complain about the volume when he's standing in front of a speaker."

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

Like 2Pac said, "...I don't want it if its that easy..."

DJ_Mike_Coquilla 9:23 PM 18 November 2006

i love a good email war with co-workers!

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

yup,exact same thing happened to me like 2 weeks ago only the girl got sooo pissed off when I wouldn't play it. By the end of the night she was completly hammered, she came up to me to request it again and couldn't even say what she wanted to hear....thank god.

So last night, this dude comes up and says "so where's the other dj?" (Mind you I have been djing this place every Tuesday, for the past year and a half.) I said "well, he is famous now, part of a rock group."
Dude:So you gonna play old school?
Me:Im gonna play everything.
Dude:Is this old school?
Me:Sure!

I gotta relay this story my friend told me. He was djing about a month ago in Hollywood and he played a Lupe Fiasco track. A few minutes later, this dude came up and was like "Oh shit!, you took me back with that Lupe man.Thats an old jam!" wtf? My friend just nodded and said "Yah, its like a month old already, old school"
And by the way:
Pm Dawn records make great frisbees.

DJ A-NAK 5:09 AM 4 December 2006

this sums it up....

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

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

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

2. WOULD YOU PLAY SOMETHING WITH A "BEAT"

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

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

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

4. EVERYBODY WANTS TO HEAR IT!

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

5. EVERYBODY WILL DANCE IF YOU PLAY IT!

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

6. I CAN GET LAID IF YOU PLAY IT!

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

7. I WANT TO HEAR IT NEXT!

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

8. WHAT DO YOU HAVE?

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

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

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

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

If your gonna leave after he plays it, why shouldn't he wait till the very last song so you stay all night?!

matt212 5:21 AM 4 December 2006

Girl: Do you have that song called "Ballin'"

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

then as she walks off i drop "Concrete Schoolyard" and grin smugly at her red little spoon shaped face...

Actually, after a quick mix it doesn't sound horrible. With time to work with it and proper filters & time stretching it would probably make a neat little mash. How's about a little "Take 2 Strokes" mash-up contest?

matt212 9:58 PM 4 December 2006

So that is how mashups are born.

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

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

i swear, i played em both (at this one gig...her sister's wedding) and she said 'naw, that ain't it'.... whatever.... there must be some hidden easter egg of a track on her cd then :)

So that is how mashups are born.

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

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

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

I can't wait for the Mashups to phase out... I don't know how many more times I can stand to hear an Eminem or Black Eye Pea accapella set to some 80's beat.

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

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

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

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

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

Dustin Fields 3:39 PM 5 December 2006

My story pales in comparison...

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

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

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

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

DJenerate 4:04 AM 6 December 2006

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

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

So, am playing, drunk girls stumbles into kitchen/booth

DG - "I've lost my shoes."
DJB- [And this becomes my problem when, exactly?]
DG - "Can I borrow yours?"
DJB- [Aside from the fact that they wouldn't fit, in fact . . . why am I even thinking about this] . . . "No."
DG - "Please, all you have to do is stand there all night . . ."
DJB- [Which I will continue to do wearing my own damn shoes] . . ."No."
DG - You've got red shoes . . .
DJB- [Well, golly gosh, I hadn't noticed] . . . "Uh huh"
DG - "Where did you get them?"

DG - "Huh."

im surprised no one has mentioned this. i get a request for some song i've never heard before. i politely tell the ho i dont have the song and she gives me this look like ive said the most ridiculous statement ever. looks me in the eyes and yells, "isn't that a fucking computer, download it!"

allenbina 6:04 AM 7 December 2006

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.

allenbina 6:06 AM 7 December 2006

by the way, this thread is brilliant! the next best line i like is "can i help you dj" with a jerking forward motion as though the alcohol she has consumed can help her dj.

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

Floss B 3:25 AM 16 December 2006

Some Stan who was standing by me all night kept requesting that I play Ante Up during my Reggae set. I told him I would put it on when I switch back over to Hip Hop. 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.

Xfade 8:34 PM 16 December 2006

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

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

gucca69 4:56 AM 17 December 2006

yeah i hear you xfade i often get people who hand me cds of mainly mixed stuff and the want me to play a track on it it may be a good track and i may not have it but how do you mix a fucking track that has no intro and just drops on the chorus some times i try my best to do a mix with the tracks they ask for.
then i tell them bring an unmixed cd next time and i will play the entire track, big mistake now i get handed 3 or 4 cds every night and you cant say you havent got hte track!
so now im the grumpy old dj who gives you the death ray eyes when i get handed a cd dont do it learn by my mistake.
luckily its only the place i play 1 a week on fridays but other than that it rocks.....

So in the middle of dipset, lil jon & lil scrappy he wants me to play an asian cd for his girl friends. So i usually use the "oh im on turntables i can't play cds" story. But he somehow knew their were cds players in there, dude stayed there constantly asking me after each song to play the cd. I had to play cool cuz he seemed like he really wanted to stab me if i didnt play the cd.

Did a private party last night, which means I HAD to take requests from the girl throwing the party, which was cool, because I go into those things knowing I'm not gonna really get to mix the way I want to...but this bitch decided that she needed to cup her hand around my ear and speak directly into my ear for me to hear her. When she did it and I backed my head up, she followed me, so nomatter what she was shouting into my ear. After the third time, I made a beckoning motion and proceeded to do the same thing to her...only I really shouted...you should have the face she made...after that, she just spoke to me like a normal human being for the rest of the night, which my ear appreciated.

some girl comes up and asks for a "new" song. she doesn't know the name or artist. only that it's new...and the radio plays it...

so i had to pry a little...

and found out that it has a guy rapping on it....with a female mixed in.

where's a taser when u need it?

B1G 9:48 PM 29 December 2006

wuhaha, got a new one...

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

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

umm, I am so tired of people requesting, complaining, explaining, asking... it is like "guys, enjoy the night, have some fun, do a little dance and hopefully get laid"!

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

Stay safe y'all!

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

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

some requests from this New years eve

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

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

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

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

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

When your a DJ, You cant please everyone.

Audio1 1:27 AM 3 January 2007

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.

tdcamp 1:50 AM 3 January 2007

The shit that bothers me is when someone takes for ever to tell you what they want..

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

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

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

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

Anyway.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

End result: Guy apologized as bouncer carried him out by his neck.......

service minded as I am ofcourse I did it. but I tell you, it wasnt easy. its difficult to hold them just right for writing and I am left handed aswell which didn't make it go any faster :D

I need a trap door setup right outside the booth and a button to activate it on my mixer.

FATTY FAT FAT 5:50 PM 16 January 2007

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

DJUnknown 6:29 PM 16 January 2007

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

Moral dillema... If they hand you a $20 and you dont have "Shakira" on your serato (cuz you dont like her shit), DO you hand the $20 back or keep it? hahhaha

If I don't have it, I'll tell them. They will usually have a back-up request.

That way you could supervise your interface so it doesn't get f*cked up, be there to help her out, get her a couple of drinks during the night, show that your a gentleman and be "interface(in-her-face)" after her gig at your place......

brett rock 6:54 AM 18 January 2007

i find that a simple: "i'll see what i can do" works nicely. its polite and you can just keep saying it over and over repetitivley to any request that comes your way. after a while it doesn't matter what they say.

over loud music-

brainless club goer: " R U EVENING LISTENING TO ME ?!?!?! "

Chick That Has Requested "Walk It Out" about 12x already: "Can you play something that won't make me puke??? This song makes me want to puke its horrible!!"

here's why- i played a new years party at my friends house, no big deal... but i play dnb and hip hop (underground shit not top charts) peeps at the party were 90% european, my friend lived with like 4 polish dudes. so i was like... shit i'm straight, put together a TIGHT ass chillin ragga jungle mix. my friend's roommate came up to me after like 20 minutes and said...

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

the dude was not drunk, i was completely bemused.

this was in my ragga set... possibly the only tune that the polish dudes liked... til a fat polish chick asked me if i had any trance. nah bitch. have a good night.

Mr. Goodkat 9:07 PM 21 January 2007

I got my most ridiculous one last week.

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

TheMightyThor 9:27 PM 21 January 2007

i would have told that dumb bitch that its not the music that makes her want to puke, its her flabby stomach and fat ass!! (hopefully she was skinny)

Richierollz 11:58 PM 21 January 2007

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

haha

I love this thread!!!

"CAN I PUCH YOU IN THE FACE"
whoever wrote this , you are a genius!

dj nick dean 12:33 AM 22 January 2007

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.

This is hillarious. It's so true at every club. I posted in a different forum where some drunk ass chic pucked all over my coffin. I was really stoked on that.

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

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

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.

SpinThis! 5:25 PM 22 January 2007

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

DJ Autograph 7:50 PM 22 January 2007

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???"

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!

- While the Secret Service version of "I'm Coming Out" was playing.

Dj Spox 10:01 PM 28 January 2007

HA - incredible topic
now My few cents

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

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

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

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

4 - Funny (it's true !!)
I'm playing Mashup party (thanks SSL)
track: another one bites the dust vs bille jean vs riders of the storm
this older dude: could You play something I know ?
me Like what:
dude: queen, or Michael Jackson

dude Your rude Young man
me: sorry (hahaahahahaha)

5 & 6 - funny
I was playin with My friend in some small local club - good 70's Funk Afro party after BBoy battle.

girl: do you have (insert something from MTVtopten)
me: (damn girl) NO, sorry
girl: oh please find it or ask this another dj
me: (turninback from her to ask my friend) yo move your head like NO

Me: (insert this title from MTVtopten)
He: HELL NO !!

sexy girl: Hey, I got you this drink (gin and tonic, my drink of choice)
me: wow....thanks
sexy girl: could you play anything by biggie?
me:.....(dumb look on my face while sort of nodding yes)
sexy girl: thanks (and walks away)
me:/......

I would have asked her to marry me.

DJ Jinnai 9:07 PM 29 January 2007

"Man I'm leaving the party! He's spinning on NUMARKS!"

He'd rather hear me DJ on my dead Tech12? Wow.

haha... I think I would have taken a sip of the drink.... and been like... "there's not enough gin in here..." with a ridiculous look on my face so she doesn't know if I was serious or not... if she gets pissed or otherwise doesn't get it, you can fall back to "oh thanks mode" but I usually make them work for the request...

i hate when people flash that "cut" signal to any song you like playing. eff them. especially if you've rocked a party for 4 hours straight.

4 - Funny (it's true !!)
I'm playing Mashup party (thanks SSL)
track: another one bites the dust vs bille jean vs riders of the storm
this older dude: could You play something I know ?
me Like what:
dude: queen, or Michael Jackson
me: you're kiddin right
dude Your rude Young man
me: sorry (hahaahahahaha)

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

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

On friday, this girl came up to me while everyone was dancing to rap and said, "Can we get some Elvis?"
"NO"
"Whynot?"
"Elvis was a hero to most, but he never meant shit, to me you see, Straight up racist that sucka was simple and plain, Muthafuck him and John Wayne!"

CMS 1:04 AM 30 January 2007

Why do people ask for shit they know is going to get played. This girl comes up this weekend and asks me, "Do you have any Eminem up there?"

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

Dj Spox 2:14 AM 30 January 2007

imagine that:
dude/girl gets up listenin "hisfavouritetrack" on the mp3 alarm clock
then s/he singing it in the shower
s/he listen it in radio in breakfast
s/he puts it out in cd in his car on way to/from work
then he humming it when s/he's gettin dressed for the party
AND THEN..
of course he want YOU to play it in the club...
remember those beatifull times when people Just dance to the good music whatever it was ?

I didn't get the digits of my dream request girl...i prefer not to taint my minds impression of the dream girl...if i had talked to her, inevitably i'd have gotten with her taken her out for a nice seafood dinner and never call her again.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

usually get the same drunk ass regular ho's getting up on stage to dance.
last wednesday i saw this dumb ass russian ho getting up, she's allways wasted and allways buggin me and throwing me napkins with "akon"written on it, so this time i pre empted her and smacked on smack that! so i wouldnt have to listen to her drunken dribble!
she suddenly turned around,, gave two big thumbs up, spun around again,, buckled in a sideways fashion, with arms flying everywhere, hit the floor trying to grab everything she could on the way down, and managed to knock over the monitor to my left, which was on a tripod..to me it was priceless, something i had been praying for!!
everyone around her looked pissed! i thaught she was about to get a beatdown from everyone in the club! i was hoping...
thankfully the bitch wont get on the stage now!

DJ IzzyRock 6:29 PM 19 February 2007

hmmm..I get a few of the above at well.. but one day - i was really tight.
Towards the end of the party - the last announcement was -
"ok we have 30 more minutes to party- so DJ take it away."

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

Reggeatton is playing.

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

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

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

and i let that play for a full minute

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

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

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

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

i just looked at her in amazement and smiled when she went down to her friend i cranked it up another notch.
crazy people out there!

i almost did the exact thing. but this chic said "its too loud", i said sorry i cant hear you... she came back and said can you turn it down, i have a head ache.
I actually turned it down a little, but cranked the up the BASS

DJ-A 7:55 PM 19 February 2007

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

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

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

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

This just happened last night...

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

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

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

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

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

(COOL STORY)

I felt like a coat check one night...

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

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

brother: who the fuck are you
kid: Im Aphrodite
brother: fuck off your 15!!

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

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

John Nasty 11:09 PM 20 February 2007

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 !!!!!!

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

Me : When you come up to me and ask me for a song ?

Me : And you are suposed to suck every guys dick , if he asks you, aren´t you. But you don´t do that when someone asks you, it has to be on your terms and conditions ? Same here , i play song where ever i want to, and not when you ask me.

Here's another one for yall.

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

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

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

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

9 Gary, IN

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

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

It sounds like sucha happy place...

grrillatactics 2:35 PM 23 February 2007

Hmmmmm. I wonder why my italics didn't work for those song lyrics...

XSV 4:00 PM 23 February 2007

This happened twice now....I used to hold down a residency on Saturdays at a local college spot....Tons of girls, tons of drink and tons of debauchery....anyways story goes like this...

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

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

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

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

Last Night
(playing rap)
"Can you play some 80's?"

(playing 80's)
"Are you gonna play some more hip hop?"(its never refered to as rap for some reason,stinkin radio stations)

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

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

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

Well at least at the end of the night some drunk broad said I was the best dj she has ever heard in her life!
I bet she tells all the djs that.

matt212 12:19 AM 26 February 2007

Somebody must have opened the flood gates with the ridiculous comments.

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

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

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

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

Ok. Better

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

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

"Okay"

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

But the door stayed locked. :D

two chicks come to the dj booth and one of them says to me(not ask but tells me) "i think you should play this is why im hot!"...

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

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

some women are just nuts!....

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

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

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

dj fluffylumpkins 8:56 PM 12 March 2007

this weekend i had this girl come up to me say hi and "do you remember me", well i must have looked blankly at her as she followed up with "i danced on the boxes all night on halloween"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I don't know if some of you are just acting cool, but being straight up rude to people isn't doing you any favours. Saying 'Sorry, I don't have that' is way less drama for everyone than 'fuck off you stooooopid biatch'.
Morons piss me off too, but I don't want to encourage a conversation/argument with them!

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.

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

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

bartenders / servers... i've had them all yell at me for not flipping

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

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

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

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

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

Hot Chic: "Can you play a song for my friend, she's from out of town?"
ME: "Really, Where from?"
Hot Chic: (she says a city that's about 2 hours away)

Needless to say - I went off saying a bit about that's not REALLY out of town, different state, I'd play it, but trying to pull a fast one over me.... Buh-bye. Just cuz you are hot, doesn't mean I'm falling for that kind of bullshit.

krown 5:44 PM 13 April 2007

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

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

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

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

Audio1 5:28 PM 17 April 2007

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

Examples:

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

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

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

DJ-A 5:39 PM 17 April 2007

heres a comment that made me want to knock a guy out... i played a few songs in a row that he liked. he comes over to me and says "feels good to finally be doing your job huh" i only played a few songs he liked because i can only stand so much ghetto southern rap.

Dj KaGeN 7:12 PM 17 April 2007

people do not understand flow and groove because the radio interjects commercials in there...

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

CMS 7:24 PM 17 April 2007

I like the emergency brake analogy.

DJ Lagos 7:57 PM 17 April 2007

dj_soo 9:19 PM 17 April 2007

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

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

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

Thundercat 9:25 PM 17 April 2007

I'm going to do that.

Can you turn the music down?
Can you/I get on the mic? Im trying to find my friend.
Can I see what songs you have?

eder 12:01 AM 20 April 2007

The best happened last night at a frat party:

Drunk Girl: "Hey DJ play that song they played on the top 4 at 4 (power 106 if y'all don't know that). I think it was the third one they played."
Me: "I don't listen to Power."
Girl: "The fuck? What kind of DJ are you?"
*I hit the break on the song playing and grab the mic*
Me (on the mic): IF YOU'RE HAVING A GOOD TIME TONIGHT MAKE SOME FUCKING NOOOOOOISE!!!"
*crowd goes fucking wild*
*hit the start/stop button, bringing the track back in*
Me: "That's what fucking kind of a DJ I am. Now get the fuck out of my sight."

Work mate- "Hows the holiday?"
Me - "Class, Eddie Halliwell blew up cream"
WM - "But all he does is play one song after the other, whats hard about that?"
Me - "No mate, its about the journey you go on. The way the dj can make you feel. Hightening your senses by knowing when to hit you with a breakdown or slam a big beat at you."
WM - "But he is just playing songs..., i dont get it"

Why cant these people be reached? They need educating dammit!! :)

Spinning a hip hop/ r&b set, people asking for House music??? Pussy Cat Dolls, Reggaeton (not my cup of tea) got so distracted I'd switched and picking the needle by mistake, I'm glad in a sense it's only like a few people I cater to which was cool. Still learning.

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.

damn you were a DJ thats awesome! what was it like to dj with 8-tracks? or me and my buddy were talking about the old school not too long ago, was it hard to get use to records when they FIRST CAME OUT?

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 ;)

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.

Put a different song on!" i was only planning to play the song for 10 seconds anyway! hey freaking out like that made me pause to figure out what the hell was going on... i was thinking is she yelling fire?

Ha true, maybe that was her favorite chow down joint and you were causing her to have a craving.

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

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

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

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

my mouth dropped when some chick came up to me today and asked.... Does that thing play songs??? Enough said....

m0rph! 11:31 AM 12 May 2007

girl: Can I make a request?
me: Sure. What do you want to hear?
girl: *hands me a folded sheet of paper* THANK YOU!!

I open up the paper, and it's a frickin PLAYLIST of 30 TRACKS!!

I played 3 of her songs in a row (Top40 shiznit), and her whole crew of 15 people didn't even dance (heck, I couldn't even get a shoulder lean!). You can guess what kind of priority the remaining 27 tracks received...

IsaacJordan 9:55 PM 12 May 2007

nice thread...

a couple come to mind....
a few years ago, whenever Hey Ya was the hot shit and everyone is on the floor dancin' their asses off this guy comes up with the whole
'can you play something we can dance to' bit. i look at him... look at the dancefloor... look back at him... look back at the dancefloor... then look at him and ask
'Like what?'
'some old school jodeci'
!?!?!?!?

my favorite request ever from a meathead jocky dude
'put on jock jams 4'
i acted like i didnt hear him just so he'd say it again.

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

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

i had a pretty irksome one last night.

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

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

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

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

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"

I left out the racist comment she made about the genre of music I was playing prior to her telling me to kill the lights. Thats why I called her an idiot.

My dad loves that shit(kind of music im not refering to it as shit) so I kinda have a soft spot for it as it reminds me of days gone by & of course of my dear old dad! I love you pops!

So I can see a reason for it! However asking in a bar/club is kinda suspect!

Dude: "Haha, no I mean some latino"
Me: * Looks at him *
Dude: "You know some stuff that the girls can dance to, like 2Pac"
Me: * Looks at him, looks at packed dance floor with ratio of 2:1 girls to guys, and looks back at him
Dude: "What songs have you got?"
Me: "You've asked me to play RnB, latino, hip-hop, something for the girls and then want me to run through the 4,500 songs I have with me, you obviously don't know what you want, why don't you go back to your mates, have a drink and think of a particular song you want to hear and then come back!"

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

Customer comes up and asks for some Bob Marley. Ok, fifteen minutes later i put 'I shot the sheriff'.

After 10 minutes she comes and asks for Bob Marley again. I say i just played one of his songs. Girl: "yea, but that one is originally from Eric Clapton, don't you know, so could you play another Bob Marley song?!".

Didn't bother saying anything after that. :)

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.

Sunday night at the spot...

Chick: It's my birthday, and I'm sad.

Me: Why?

Chick: Because I'm 35. Could you play a Happy B-day song for me, (in the middle of a freshly started House set).

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

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

Me: (Puts headphones back on)...

Chick: So you're not gonna play Celeberation by Kool and the Gang....

Me: Hey, I'll see what I can do...you have to step back because you might get shocked by all the wires on the floor...

I was doing a corporate gig and I was playing "Could You Be Loved" by Bob Marley and a 40 something black woman comes up and says "What? You don't play reggae?!" WTF?! So I point to the speakers and say "This IS reggae." Then she proceeds to wave her hand at me and storms off. WTFx2?!

dizzyrocks2001 3:17 AM 1 June 2007

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

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

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

DJ-A 4:58 AM 1 June 2007

here's one from last night. "i know you just played it... but that last song from Diddy, can you play it again? It's my birthday"

I hate it when someone comes up and says.. "can you play such and such.... I'm leaving in a few mins so can you play it next"

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?

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

She gave me a really dirty look and walked away. Me and the other DJ were laughing our asses off.

Did u play her song?

DJ Michael Basic 4:34 PM 15 June 2007

Nah. I only do one "Throwback set" per night, and that night I did like the 110-115 bpm one that I do, Poison, Motown Philly, At the playground, my prerogative, etc.

Can I Scratch?

tekniq 1:28 PM 16 June 2007

I always have one old shitty turntable on the side of the booth and let the chicks scratch with that. No that it is connected to a mixer or something but it usually does the trick. Women...

Buzhi 9:34 PM 16 June 2007

I've been reading this thread for some time and it always feel good to read painfull stuff others experience. I play at two universities partys so all the stuff happens there.

Uni1

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

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

Uni2

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

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

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

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

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

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

sixxx 9:42 PM 16 June 2007

Tuesday Night:

Blonde-"Do you know the bar Hyde?"

Me-"Yes, I am aware of that location"

Blonde-"Do you wanna dj there?, cuz you're great and I can get you a gig there"

Me-"Are you the owner, manager?"

Blonde-"No, I am the Bartender!"

DOH!!

Has anyone ever gotten a gig from a bartender from another club/bar?
I dont think so.
Why do 19 out of 20 offers turn out to be bullshit?

Alcohol... most likely..

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

DJ Michael Basic 8:32 PM 22 June 2007

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

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

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

djbriguy 7:19 PM 27 June 2007

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the "Can you play *this song* and dedicate it to *this person* by *this person* because he/she is *insert one of the most horrible things to announce in a club* "

djbriguy 7:22 PM 27 June 2007

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

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

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

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

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

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

DJ-A 8:32 PM 27 June 2007

SWEET^^^

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

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

requester says "play that. Im trying to bang a virgin!"

DJ Michael Basic 11:23 PM 5 July 2007

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I was asked NOT TO PLAY the Electric Slide, Cha-Cha slide, or ANY LINE DANCE songs for a Wedding Reception by the Bride. Needless to say, it didn't go over well.

DJ Starrbuck 4:57 AM 16 July 2007

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

TO ALL DJS, IF YOU DON'T BRING YOUR OWN SH*T LIKE SLIPMATS, NEEDLES ETC, YOUR SH*T OUT OF LUCK WITH ME OR REST OF THE RESPONSIBLE DJS, NOT GETTING MINE, :-D

DJ K-otik 5:43 AM 16 July 2007

I bring my own headphones and cartridges, but I've never brought my own slipmats - is that a standard thing? In the venues I've played, the DJ setup already has slipmats for the decks. Is it really faux pas to not bring your own mats?

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

SloDeck 8:40 AM 16 July 2007

Ive always rocked my own mats Carts and cans as a minimum.

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

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

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

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

but the real question is.... WERE you playing the same song for that 30 min or did he just think it was the same song b/c it was well mixed

DJOJ 9:31 AM 16 July 2007

You DJ so bad, that 3 hours into your set, people ask you if you have more than that one song you've been playing all night.

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

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

Ridiculous comment coming from the owners!

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

Song: Justin Timberlake/ Like I Love U

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

Me: This is atleast Top 40 maybe even Top 1

Owner: On what chart?

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

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

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

ontime1269 4:51 PM 20 July 2007

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

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

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

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

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

djbriguy 7:55 PM 20 July 2007

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

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

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

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

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

Her = "
Me = '

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

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

I was enjoying a lovely Saturday not spinning while at my friends Gig. Its kind of a grimy underground spot in an upscale area in the city. We were jammin out to everyones favorite hard-core hip hop, I mean like 2am, Henny and blunt smoke kinda nite...A somewhat dwarfish drunk guy comes up with a wad of $100s and starts peeling them off (into his other hand) and wants all the music stopped and a microphone so he can propose to his girlfriend. After collecting everything that he managed to drop, we had him removed...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ME: theres more...

HER: ???

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

djcrono_ 2:58 PM 15 August 2007

I hope this isn't too dirty for the forum but this happened to me back when I first started DJ'ing for a classic rock bar. I was 19 at the time.

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

Encounter #1

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

Woman: Do you want to see my tattoo?

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

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

Encounter #2

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

Woman: I did the greatest thing ever today!

Me: Ok...

Woman: I peirced my nipples.

Me: Oh, that's nice.

Woman: Do you want to see?

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

Woman: C'mon have a look!

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

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

Encounter #3

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

Woman: Do you know what that sounds like?

Me: No...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Comment from another DJ: "Them bitches look like they got a rig parked out front!"

LOL! They did too... and they wound up showing their big trucker titties to play some song.

DJenerate 6:09 PM 15 August 2007

"trucker titties", that, in and of itself is hysterical!

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

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

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

Girl makes a weird face and turns her head sideways

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

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

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

KaGeN 9:01 PM 15 August 2007

context: i work at a country themed bar that plays modern and classic rock and occasionally top 40 pop / hip hop set.

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

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

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

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

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

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

girl: what britney spears songs do you have?
me: lots, but im not going to play any
girl: why?
me: because i like my job

Fishr Pryce 2:57 PM 2 September 2007

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

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

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

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

me: its a computerized system, i dont use cds.
her: oh.... well do you have the cd cases at least?
me: no, what do you want to hear?
her: how am i supposed to know without knowing what you have?
me: i have everything, you're working the system the wrong way. tell me what you want to hear, and i'll play it.
her: you dont even have a list of some sort?
me: this isnt karaoke. do you have a request or not?
her: D12

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

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

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

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

I was playing Buddy when she asked that

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

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

4-
Club Manager in Vegas in 2000 (won't say what club)

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

You are my new hero!!!!

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

djnvs 8:04 AM 4 September 2007

and the owner of the spot i was most recently, was telling me to change up what i play... so i did... it worked... then the next week 3 of his regulars complained and this was the conversation over the phone at 3am...

me "hello", whats up?

owner- "youre gonna have to come with a better mix than that brotha"

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

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

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

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

me- "i do, you can tell me to play whatever i want and that you wont ever bitch about the music again"

and he hasnt since...

SUBSTANCE 11:36 PM 4 September 2007

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

Me: Hey Whats up

Her: Nothing much, can I request a song?

Me: What do you want to hear?

Her: Rosa Parks

(Keep in mind it's around 2pm and i'm in the middle of 115bpm set, mostly new shit)

Me: I played that stuff already, sorry

Her: Oh come on!! Can you please play it?

Me: How badly do you want to hear it? (Pointing to the right box on the shirt)

Her: Eww. I'm so disgusted right now *walks away*

Did this a couple more times and worked like a charm. Me thinks I found a new shirt for my Friday night gig.....

dj luis 4:13 PM 16 September 2007

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

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

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

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

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

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

40-y-o lady calls me again:

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

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

you just can't please them all...

Caramac 1:06 PM 27 September 2007

Lol these are brilliant.

Most random request/night ever.

Warming up at my old local friday night spot a couple of years ago this white girl comes up to me and is like

Girl- You're cute.
Me - Thanks You're alright to.
Girl - My friend likes you
Me - Which one (i'm pretty blunt when I want to be)
Girl - That one there (points to the butters one of the bunch)
Me - She's not my type
Girl - She really likes you though.
Me - Er cheers. But She's not my type.

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

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

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

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

Girl storms off. Lol and every time I see the ugly mate now she gives me the worls biggest evil. Lol. Whatever get mad. Lol.

Caramac 10:15 AM 28 September 2007

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

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

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

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

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

Caramac 10:16 AM 28 September 2007

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

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

Last night, we had 800+ people going crazy to Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit. Some girls walks up...

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

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

Him - Ayo, play that Soulja Boy.
Me - I don't think so...
Him - Why not?
Me - Because it sucks!
Him - Ok, how about Ay Bay Bay?
Me - I'm not playing any retarded music.
Him - Alright man, I understand. (Leaves).

What is with this stupid shit? Why do the club crowds love it so much?

"there some whores in this house" - would been my next selection....

allenbina 5:03 PM 8 October 2007

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

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

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

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

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

i took a piece of paper and wrote on it

fuck you and carl cox

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

I love that, i would have asked her if she's such good friend with Carl Cox. then why arent you with him polishing HIS knob.

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

DJ-A 5:13 PM 8 October 2007

OHHHHH! You know Carl Cox... so do you do favors for all the DJ's and Club owners? I could put on a long song and you could do a couple requests for me... how does that sound?

Caramac 7:59 AM 9 October 2007

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

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

I told security to throw her out. Lol.

She was not impressed. Lol.

me: i played it 3 (!!) minutes ago !!!

idiot no.2: can you play that Sean Paul song with a girl dancing in the video?
me: huh?!
idiot no.2: you know, with that girl dancing..
(played "give it to me")
idiot no.2: no no not that one.

DJ Young Herrera 6:24 PM 10 October 2007

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

a little later...

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

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

SUBSTANCE 11:16 PM 10 October 2007

On Friday night I had a bouncer follow me back on stage during soundcheck to tell me to take off my hoodie and cap. Like, I'm literally running back and forwards between the front of house and the stage and the dude appears in front of my tables like he's more important. SO WHY DID YOU BOOK AN UNDERGROUND RAP LABEL TO PERFORM AT YOUR VENUE?
... as a performer I usually get a pass on all that dress code shit... fuck a dress code.

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

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

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

Why in the hell wouldn't you have them - especially when you're running serato?

DJ Young Herrera 1:14 AM 19 October 2007

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

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

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

She did not.

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

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

I actually learned a few things that night although nobody else knew it (or cared).

DJ Young Herrera 2:43 PM 19 October 2007

Payne-san,

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

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

Dj_KaGeN 4:41 PM 19 October 2007

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Idlemind1999 3:41 PM 26 October 2007

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

Some of the best Sample medleys out there are:

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

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

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

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

Tonight...

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

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

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

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

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

This one tops it all for me!

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

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

ntmoney 3:33 AM 29 October 2007

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

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

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

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

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

WG (white girl) - R u going to play any house music.
ME - I just finished a 30 minute set
WG - U didn't play house. what songs did you play
ME - Dajae - Brighter days, Strings of life, Perculator (listed a few)
WG - Perculator's not house music..
ME - (with a WTF FACE) - Perculator's not house music? What is it then?
WG - (turned around with a Laguna beach, blonde white girl disgusted look)ugh..

Mind you I was rocking the crowd and said if you love house music make some noise. Crowd went crazy...
Maybe she was just another blonde...

Idlemind1999 7:52 PM 29 October 2007

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

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

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

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

i usually get into a 3 or 4 song groove then get a request and it fucks up the flow....i guess its alright though i try to turn over the floor alot so the bar gets busy...plus the requesters usually have big titties

Yo, I didn't make it in last night. Good lookin tho. Was it a good night?

djtripp 7:45 PM 31 October 2007

I DJ an 80's night and a woman comes in every week with a 30 SONG List!

Stuff like:

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

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

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

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

So I tried to smooth it out by saying,

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

"I would play it"

"Every time?"

"Well, no, but I would be a good host and try."

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

She walked away.

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

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

House was just house before it was divided into its multiple current subgenres. To say Percolator isn't house is like saying Marvin Gaye's "What's Goin' On" isn't R&B just 'cause it doesn't have the current R&B sound.

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

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

now, back to your regularly scheduled thread.

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

Please explain.

You didn't go to The New Dance Show for an example. That is a "Ugly side of Detroit" that we don't talk about ....

Actually that show was hated on by my crowd more than Soulja boy here but deep, deep, deep down EVERYBODY loved it. It was our local version of Soul Train!

wow allenbina.. like I said no diss.. to each his own.. But I have to defend myself so... Here we go!!!
By reading your little bio I never had to pretend like I was flipping through records to make it seem like I was doing something.... in your words and I quote

"I had 4 virtual dj records that had a different sticker on each face giving me what looked like 8 different records. id take crates of records and dig through them, shuffle them around putting the original records back on my tables on the other side just to make it look like i was doing something"

nice work..

If you have to "make it look like you're doing something", what does that say about what you're actually doing? ;).

Stakato 8:02 PM 3 November 2007

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

Drunk Girl: "OK. We need to change it up" (Entire dance floor packed)
Me: "WE don't have to do anything"
Drunk Girl: "Well what else do you have?"
Me: "Was there something in particular you wanted to hear?"
Drunk Girl: "Oh.. Uh... I hadn't really thought about it"
Me: "So you're saying, you came up here to ask me to change the music, without knowing what you want to hear?"
Drunk Girl: "Lemme go ask my friends"

ntmoney 8:01 PM 4 November 2007

yo frost thats a classic one....

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

DJ Young Herrera 2:34 AM 5 November 2007

After telling a group of girls 6 straight times that I would not play cupid shuffle. They got so pissed and thought that I would diss their request for any other song and came at me with a twenty to put on soulja boy.

Next time I see soulja boy I'll have to tell him, "Thank YOUUU for breakfast!" Haha

DJ Young Herrera 1:39 PM 5 November 2007

I've started fucking with the drunk chicks that make dumb requests? I got the obligatory, can you play something good? on saturday night at like 10PM. I was like, nah, I think I'm just gonna play stuff without words all night.

i got a dumb look for it. then I busted out with "come on you dumbass, there's no one here. I'm not gonna burn the heaters just for you". then she begged a little bit, then I said, "ok ok ok, if i play some britney spears will you chill out"? She laughed, and I felt good for belittling her.

Caramac 5:08 PM 6 November 2007

To be honest if its literally just one group of people and its early then I'll play anything they want within reason just so I can get some peace and quiet. When its early I usually just play random tunes anyway and sit there with a magazine till it starts to pick up.

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

Caramac 5:12 PM 6 November 2007

But anyway I got this new residency and already within one weekend I've got some classics.

Girl - What you playing next?
Me - I don't know yet
Girl - But you're the dj?!?!
Me - I know this
Girl - SO what are you playing next (drink hovering dangerously close to my laptop)
Me - (moves her glass hand back out of the booth) I don't know what tune would you like?
Girl - I don't know. How can you not know what's next?
Me - I make it up as I go along.
Girl - Oh? (walks off)

Friday at a Harvard Party: almost killed someone.

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

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

then best part and i wish I had a video camera seeing this was in front of EVERYONE...
My girl grabs the drink she was about to dump on my shit out of my hand, goes up to her, throws it in her face and tells her if she comes near my shit again she'll beat her ass.

hahaha, it was the best thing I have ever seen.

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

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

Wednesday Night - 7 World Trade Center - Fund Raising Gala - 850 Guests - 200 Staff
The place is about 10,000 square feet. I had 4 pairs of Powered EONs on a board so I could control each pair. There were two dance floors on the ends, 1 large dining area and 3 quieter rooms in the center.

Some (obviously) important guy comes up to me and says:

HIM: Can you lower the music some, I'm over there and can't even hear myself talk.

ME: Where are you standing, I can lower it in that area.

HIM: I'm standing over there, in front of those two speakers...

ME: (Holding back the laughter and sarcasm) Sure no problem.

After playing a half hour set consisting of T-Pain, Neyo, Justin, other shit like that and ending with Watch Out Now by the Beatnuts, the manager or whatever comes up and says I don't want you to play so much gangster stuff, keep it more commercial like Justin and 50 Cent.

Quote:

so what did you do?

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

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

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

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

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

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

certainly not my intent. just stating some unfortunate realities. If you can really sit there and enjoy yourself while playing Soulja Boy... more power to you.. ignorance in music must truly be blissful. I started thinking it'd be a lot easier to be stupid and carefree out on the dance floor having fun then up in the booth pissed off and thinking about the other places you'd rather be..

Idlemind1999 9:55 PM 12 November 2007

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

I know we all hate it, but it continues to happen. Someone will ask to hear the same crap that they heard on the radio on the way to the place where they will ask you to hear it again... and maybe even hear it again on the radio on the way home right before they rear-end the minivan in front of them while talking on the phone.

Caramac 10:03 PM 12 November 2007

@ Frost - Jokes aside I hear you. Funnily enough some girl asked me for that Souljah Boy tune (she'd been dancing all night) so I thought why not she's not given me any grief and she was polite. So I dropped it and her and her mates cleared off the dancefloor.

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

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

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

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

she says i'm talking about the song... you know... apple bottom jeans. i give her a stupid look and say thats the dumbest name for a song and i bet there is not a song called apple bottom jeans..

while i'm being a dick i loaded "Low" and told her the next song is called "low" just in case she wants to hear a song that says something about apple bottom jeans...

That would actually go into "the most ridiculous comment you have got from a dj while requesting a song" thread. Geesh, what a jerk.

I have no problem telling rude people where they can go, or if they're overbearing while I'm trying to mix, how terrible and pointless their request was. I.E.

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

Time: 10:30

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

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

Got a good one last night at Avalon...

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

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

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

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

He just sulked off down the stairs.

DVDjHardy 8:02 PM 28 November 2007

LOL @ its not the music that's gay!

DJ Young Herrera 8:49 PM 28 November 2007

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

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

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

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

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

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

DJCheLu 8:49 PM 28 November 2007

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

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

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

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

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

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

So I answer back, "Its a tool, same as any other tool. Show up at work on Monday without your broom, and you'd be nothing too...right?"

After playing bs all night I decided to drop some actual hip hop (Pete Rock & CL Smooth - T.R.O.Y.) and this girl comes up and remarks "This song sucks, and you were doing so well before, can you play something that we might like?" I ask a question back "what year were you born?". She replies "1985". I smile and sarcastically say "that explains it, do you want me to play like something from MTV?". She gets a huge smile on her face and says "yeah". So I throw up the double thumbs up and continue to play golden era classics for the last 15 minutes of the night. I can only play to the crowd for so long, eventually I need to hear something with some soul.

Peace.

frost-9 4:57 AM 7 December 2007

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

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

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

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

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

Bah.. so sick of explaining myself to idiots.

Caramac 3:03 PM 7 December 2007

Lol I felt bad and threw the tune on as soon as I clicked onto what she was talking about.

That same night some girl came up and slurred in my ear for 5 mins straight about work parties and dancing.

She might have been telling me something interesting but I doubt it. I just kept nodding my head and saying no problems.

Nicky Blunt 3:07 PM 7 December 2007

ha haha yeah the classic no problems line!!!

I use that all the time!

After playing bs all night I decided to drop some actual hip hop (Pete Rock & CL Smooth - T.R.O.Y.) and this girl comes up and remarks "This song sucks, and you were doing so well before, can you play something that we might like?" I ask a question back "what year were you born?". She replies "1985". I smile and sarcastically say "that explains it, do you want me to play like something from MTV?". She gets a huge smile on her face and says "yeah". So I throw up the double thumbs up and continue to play golden era classics for the last 15 minutes of the night. I can only play to the crowd for so long, eventually I need to hear something with some soul.

Peace.

Awesome.

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

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

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

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

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

Bah.. so sick of explaining myself to idiots.

Ummm... you're right about asian girls.

DJUnknown 6:45 PM 7 December 2007

Quote:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"can you play some MEGADETH?" while playing Gimme More.

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

AMEN!

Idlemind1999 8:38 PM 7 December 2007

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

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

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

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

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

Weird shit.

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

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

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

they might not be b-more house in the sense that they are not originaly from b-more... but they realy started the b-more house sound that the b-more artist played off of. and just because something is labeled b-more, or house, or techno does not mean that they were MADE in b-more or chicago, or detroit.

They do something like that in stores in NY. They take pictures of Shoplifters and post them by the door. Damn, my booth would be littered with pictures of crazy people...

Speaking of which, I got a call from a friend Saturday afternoon. He's an old-school hip hop guy and they asked him to do a sweet 16. So I told him I would help. It turns out MTV had a camera there (I think shooting for that show they do about parties) I was thinking to myself, theres nothing special about this place (other then the mountain of speakers and soundguys they had) then I hear someone doing a sound check. The voice was a little familiar but I couldnt place it. I poke my head up from the booth and theres a band set up on the stage. I still had no idea who it was... Then they went into "Hay Que Bueno" and i was like... NO F^%#$% WAY.. it was Notch. He did about a 4 song medley and signed some autographs and bounced...

I was able to catch a few pics before the MTV people swept him away...

Here's one that is that get you guys laughing your ass off. I'm doing a wedding and almost immediatly this woman with real pointy tits and a very low cut dress starts with "hey you gotta play some hip hop" while she's rubbing them against me. I told her and showed her the info sheet from the bride stating (No Rap-hip hop) but of course that didn't mean anything to her. She kept it up all night maybe 6-7 times (including the tit rubbing) so near the end of the night while I've got a huge bunch of people out there singing Paradise by the Dashboard Lights (Not my selection) she rubs me again with the tits and of course the hip hop request. This time I've reached the end of my rope and I turn around and see this really big guy standing nest to her but I don't really give a shit at this point so I open up my Big Mouth. " Gee lady you really don't like to hear no for an answer- do you? But I bet you can give it out real well, right? The Guy looks at me and say "Holy shit you know my wife" well I almost pissed my pants when he said that, it made up for her behavior all evening. A little while later he came up to me and stated that after 14 years of marriage he had never seen anyone put her in her place-she usually is so persistant everyone gives in, including him. I'm now his hero- go figure

DJ LTIZZZLE 1:21 PM 18 December 2007

I got all yall beat.. So, you all know i dj out here for the troops in Iraq. I'm doing a Large unit Xmas party. Mine you the Head man (Col) is white and loves Hip hop. His Second in charge (sergeant Major) is black. So, i'm playing Xmas music like i was asked for the 1st hour. I mean i'm playing classics like Temptations-silent night, Jackson five - saw mama kissin santa clause, Tlc sleigh right. YOu know the songs right, so i'm getting (so i thought). The soldier that hired me came on stage and asked me if i had some other music. I was like yeah, but you wanted xmas music for the 1st hour right. She was like yeah. That's when the SGM came on stage and said to me this.. "Hey Dj you're doing your thing and all, but do you have some OTHER xmas music?" "I'm like excuse me. I'm not following". Mind you He is black. So he comes out his mouth with this "Do you have any other xmas music not performed by Blacks.. WTF. Yall i had to catch myself cause i almost lost my mind. I mean everyone was jammin and really having a good time. So, I smile and i say I might a Kenny G song. Then i said you strike me as the Bing Crosby type (F'n Uncle tom)

I mean really.. I thought Xmas music was xmas music. why does race have to matter on xmas too.

Dude, that Bing Crosby "White Christmas" is the shit. Don't Sleep! That smooth 50's crooner shit and then that fucker starts Whistling - that is sweet.

LOL.

Actually peoples perception of Christmas Music is very different . My all time favorite Christmas Song is This Christmas by Donny Hathaway with a Top 5 of that Bing White Christmas, Kurtis Blow, Wham - Last Christmas, a 50's type version of Jingle Bells(sounds like Andrews Sisters).

Pretty fucked up list huh.

djaction 2:35 PM 18 December 2007

but seriously.. now it seems every week I get a different person that comes up to me and says "I know you don't take requests BUT.."

wtf? first off that's pretty cool that they assume I don't take requests (theres no sign or nothing).. but if you 'know I don't take requests' don't ASK!

The best requests come out at the big parties/events (halloween/thanksgiving eye/new years eve).. etc..

serious... i thought "i'm dreaming of a white christmas" was refering to snow...

I did an all white christmas party and played alot of soulful (all black) christmas music in the beginning and I also played a few songs from the new Michael Bolton cd. They loved it, they even danced when the Ojays christmas song came on.
I purposely did it because when I was a kid all I heard was white people singing christmas songs and wanted them to know we have music out there also.

I think he just wants logical arguments to convince the pinhead of how stupid he is for banning SSL.

Explain how it's just a way to conveniently bring more music. Ask him would he ban bringing more than 1 crate of vinyl or 1 CD book.

techjitsu 9:07 PM 18 December 2007

Any club owner that actually understand the IMPORTANCE of the DJ will already know about software\hardware like Serato and either have it pre-installed, or do their best to accommodate it. It means that they don't have to spend the money on maintaining a vinyl\CD library in their club!

Unless I had some kick ass crowd really eating up everything I was playing.. I would have done it for $50.. even if that song couldn't have been asked for at a more inappropriate time.

If i was in a crazy mood.. or even not, I would have done it.. Just pitchlock and make it fit... most times they will get pissed that it doesnt sound the same... but thats not what they gave you $50 for tho is it??

I just ignored him... There was no need to converse with him after an idiot question like that...

The 1st classic quote for 2008.

I'm playing 1 thing by Amerie and some woman asks me to stop playing the hip hop and play some rnb.

Me - Amerie is rnb???
G - Year but she sounds like shes trying to rap.
Me - Wow you're great.
G - Really?? Aww you're sweet.

Phunktion 10:05 PM 8 January 2008

Just a few random incidents...

Drunk girl stumbles up to request a tune, leans over the booth and leans onto the record. Music stops responds, "what the fuck?" "why did you kill the music?"

Drunk girl stumbles up with her friends screaming "Buy you a drink?" I assume she wants a request and wanted to hook me up for it, I tell her what I'm drinking and she gives me that "You Asshole" look and clarifies that she wants the song "Buy you a Drank", it's loud in that bitch...my mistake haha.

Drunk girl stumbles up to request a tune, gives me that "i'm gonna hurl" face, bends over, and gets her hair under my needle. Lifts her head up dragging the needle causing that horrible sound serato makes when you do that, and starts yelling, "don't touch me"

Club owners tell me to try out some electronic stuff, see how the floor holds up, 15 seconds in to a tune, some dude gets three inches from my face and tells me he will kill me if I don't cut the music.

Ghetto bitch with her eyebrows drawn on looking perpetually surprised requests no less that 15 artists I've never heard of, proceeds to tell me I wouldn't have heard of it...because I don't play "real" hip hop.

Typical hip hop snob walks up and says, "Man, I don't know any of these songs, play some underground shit" (mixing from TC Izlam to Sage Francis.)

Last week at an old school grown & sexy party.........

Guy in his mid to late 40s: Can you play that Soulja Boy Song
Me: Naw I don't think so
Guy in his mid to late 40s: But my kids love that song
Me: First off this party is for the GROWN & SEXY. Soulja Boy is YOUNG & RETARDED. Second your kids aren't here!
Guy in his mid to late 40s: gets pissed off an leaves

I know I should've have been rude but as a DJ you gotta have some standards as a DJ! Nobody over 30 should be allowed to do the Soulja Boy or Chicken Noodle Soup or any of that shit.

DJUnknown 3:30 PM 9 January 2008

^^^ I usually just say something like not now but maybe I'll try to play it later. Just my opinion mind you...I see no point in being rude and disrepectful to his musical tastes. You never know who that could be but regardless no point in being disrespectful. That doesn't mean that you play the song though.

Nappa 3:50 PM 9 January 2008

^^^^ I agree that it was wrong to be rude and I might have damaged my reputation a little bit. But on the flipside it felt good to get that off my chest! I'm human! I've also slept with a couple of chubby chicks and never called them back. Yes, I know it's wrong, but it still felt good. Especially in the winter time. Chubby chicks keep the bed warm!!

Lady: "I don't know right now, I am just enjoying seeing you spin"
DJ Samurai: "okay cool, just let me know whenever."
Lady: "I am just afraid what you might think."

Dance floor packed.. dumb bitch walks up.. excuse me, stumbles up..

Girl "Ok, this sucks, no one is dancing, play something good"
Me: "Looks like it doesn't suck for those people" as I point to a PACKED floor.
Girl " No they are just drunk and don't know good music, come one this sucks play something that doesn't suck"
Me: " Lemme look for that song.. what was that, something that doesn't suck?
Girl" Yeah, that's it, play the Grease MegaMix!!"
Me" Are you kidding me? Ok, so I play the first 10 secs, and let the crowd realize what it was"
Crowd gives me deer in the headlights look. I turn it down, and say..

"Thanks to that great request from HER"... and pointed at her... crowd boos... "You asshole" comes out.. girl storms off.

Probably not the best way to handle that situation.. but I have played for a while, and I guess someone had to be made an example of.

Normally I smile, and try not to insult the requestee...

And YES, 30+ do not need to Superman that HO......

I had some of parents of some in-laws over the holidays who told me.."Those kids don't know what that superman song means."

Knowing, they had no idea what it meant, and that most kids.. do.

MY all time favorite one that happened to me a few months back....I was spinning some real jackin' jazzy latin style house and the dance floor was groovin' out and I was totally vibing with the crowd and all of a sudden this fake tan super steroid buff dude walks up to me.......

DUDE: "Hey guy. My girlfriend has a request for you."
ME: "Sure what is it?"
DUDE: "She wants to dance and she asked if you could play some house music?"
ME: "Uhhhhh...I AM playing house music. Was there a particular song she wanted to hear?"
DUDE: "Well this isn't house! This is hip hop! (mind you I was playing a track called "Sombrita" that has a real heavy Latin and deep house influence to it)"
ME: "Well sorry man, but this is house music....not hip hop."
DUDE: "You obviously don't know what real house music is then. How long have you been a DJ for? Cuz I think you need to get taught what real house music is"
ME: "....and what in your eyes is "real" house music dude?"
DUDE: "Techno and progressive. In Poland that's all they play and we didn't pay a $5 cover to hear you play this hip hop nonsense!"
ME: "SECURITY!!! LMAO"

Needless to say I told the dude to go back to Poland and rock his 1,000 BPM EURO TRASH! No offense to ANYONE who spins OR listens to progressive or techno, but apparently he didn't know that his house music came from the original soulful stylings of music just like what I was playing.

Much peace and respect from Chicago

Requests at clubs are funny to me.

First of all, I think it's more of a "feel good" thing. People can request a song politely, and most likely if it's good I'm already gonna throw it in my set somewhere. Nine times of out ten, the girls come up - request a song politely and that's it.

It's that one out of ten request from a douchebag dude of some really drunk bitch that really pisses me off. Luckily the way my club is designed the requester usually gets intercepted by the lighting tech, so I don't have to deal with it.

The disrespect really gets old, but it's part of our jobs and usually if I'm in a good mood I'll fuck with them pretending I've never heard of the track, or say I don't have it, or play something with a similar title and smile at them.

Last night some chick gives me the "thumbs down" for playing "Somebody's Watching Me" by Rockwell. Then she keeps saying but I love you!

So, why is it, when people play 1 song 1 person doesn't like, they feel the need to be rabid assholes about it. But if you play 50 songs all night that keeps the floor hopin, they don't come over every time giving you high fives, drinks, and BJ's???

You moron, I would have played the song anyhow.

That's my rant.

its more like...

actually i played 10 seconds of barbie girl and scratched with it to play enough of it to get you to leave me alone... no i will not play more, and i will get pissed if you say anything to me that starts with a b that doesnt end with job

MY all time favorite one that happened to me a few months back....I was spinning some real jackin' jazzy latin style house and the dance floor was groovin' out and I was totally vibing with the crowd and all of a sudden this fake tan super steroid buff dude walks up to me.......

DUDE: "Hey guy. My girlfriend has a request for you."
ME: "Sure what is it?"
DUDE: "She wants to dance and she asked if you could play some house music?"
ME: "Uhhhhh...I AM playing house music. Was there a particular song she wanted to hear?"
DUDE: "Well this isn't house! This is hip hop! (mind you I was playing a track called "Sombrita" that has a real heavy Latin and deep house influence to it)"
ME: "Well sorry man, but this is house music....not hip hop."
DUDE: "You obviously don't know what real house music is then. How long have you been a DJ for? Cuz I think you need to get taught what real house music is"
ME: "....and what in your eyes is "real" house music dude?"
DUDE: "Techno and progressive. In Poland that's all they play and we didn't pay a $5 cover to hear you play this hip hop nonsense!"
ME: "SECURITY!!! LMAO"

Needless to say I told the dude to go back to Poland and rock his 1,000 BPM EURO TRASH! No offense to ANYONE who spins OR listens to progressive or techno, but apparently he didn't know that his house music came from the original soulful stylings of music just like what I was playing.

I spin a very liberal mashup set on Thursdays at a club in Denver. The crowd is generally upscale 20s-40s so I play a more 70s-90s and Top 40, but generally stay away from anything down tempo or too gangsta.

About halfway through the night a homie pops up outta nowhere straight thuggin'. He's wearing dickies, a wife beater and a plad shirt with the top button buttoned....in the middle of a crowd of clean cut college kids...

Him: Yo Dawg, I need you to do me a favor
Me: Aight, as long as its not too kinky
Him: You, think you're funny bro? These people out here think you suck!
Me: Thats why they're dancing
Him: You ain't down if you don't play me a song
Me: Damn, can't let that happen (as I turn away to load a track)

At this point he backed off a bit with a cheezy look on his face (Like I'm ever gonna play someone like that a song). I dropped a mashup I had just made of The Macarina vs Ms. New Booty...then picked up the mic and said... "This is dedicated to all the playaz in the club from my homie right here in the RED plaid shirt, and now lets cheer him on to do the famous C-walk!

The crowd went started cheering and the homie left. Even more amazing is they actually danced to it!

That happened to me very recently also.

new years eve i had the place jumping when some guy came up asking for "some 80s" I told him i'd play some after midnight and he went away. 10 minutes later (approx 22:45) he shows up again telling me that he and his friends are going to leave the bar and go to a party at someone's house if i didn't play any 80s immediately. I killed the KRS 1 joint I was spinning and dropped a Kenny Loggins joint, and got my MC to point out the twat who'd asked for it. The dancefloor turned en masse and boo'd the guy out. As he and his friends left we got back to "MCs Act Like They Don't Know".

djmoneyd425 4:59 AM 21 January 2008

the only sticker that has any reason being left on the hat is the hologram. price tags and barcodes need to go. BUT...

another reason for leaving stickers on hats is, at least in the case of light colored hats, the stickers leave a residue behind and the second you touch it its dirty and its the same as scuffing your brand new jordans or bumping the table with your white tee. it just doesn't look fresh anymore.

djmoneyd425 5:14 AM 21 January 2008

Last night: (music style has a very broad range in this place)

Dude-"Hey bro can you like, play some really good dance music?(meanwhile everything I'd played was above 110 bpm)
Me-"You're gonna have to be more specific."
Dude-"You know, something really good that we can dance to."
Me-"You can dance to every single thing I've played tonight."
Dude <rolls his eyes, looks away slightly, then back at me>"Come on bro, you know what i mean."
Me-"No I don't. I need specific titles...I can't read your mind."
Dude-"Like something we'd hear on the radio in the last 6 months."
Me-"Like some Top 40/Hip Hop?"
Dude-"YEAH!"
Me-"Wouldn't it just have been easier to ask me for some Top 40/Hip Hop?"

a few songs later I dropped a tech n9ne track that I'm really into and dude runs back up, says "HELL YEAH!", goes to the bathroom, then sits back down. douchebag.

what's even worse is when they come up, ask you for a song that's 37 bpm away from where you're at, you tell them 'yeah, i'll work it in", then they expect you to play it immediately, but for every song that goes by that you don't play they make an increasingly more animated "WHAT THE FUCK!?" gesture at you until you play said song. Then, when you finally get to where you mix it in they STILL sit in their fucking chair and just gyrate around violently.

Caramac 12:10 PM 21 January 2008

In all fairness I can see to a point why some people don't understand the BPM thing. You have tunes with a fast BPM but a slow pace. Customers will ask you to speed things up and you play something else at the same BPM but with a faster pace and they give you the thumbs up in appreciation.

Unless of course it's something stupidly different like a slow crunk song when you're playing jungle.

I DJ with a 6 piece funk band, and last Friday played a bar that has a pretty big college crowd. Some dude was posted up with his friends in a booth near the stage, and starts yelling at me:

"Can we do karaoke?!?!?!"
I just look at him and don't reply
"Dude, seriously can we do karaoke?!?!?!"
I tell him to come back Wednesday night.

10 minutes later

"Hey can we do karaoke?!?!?"
Me "Are you fucking crazy?"
(keep in mind this is in the middle of a song...)

"Hey can we do karaoke? Artie (the owner) says its OK?!?!?!"
Me (sarcastically cause I'm tired of his shit) "Sure dude go for it"
Him "Really?"
Me "Fuck no."

Finally he backed off... what a douche. Later that night I had 2 people reach up onto the stage over my decks and try to scratch, and one absolutely retarted chick try to put her drink down ON MY TURNTABLE. WTF...

The club owner asked me if I could come back and DJ there Sunday night, sorry man... can't do it.

Hawk 4:55 PM 26 January 2008

I had the drinks-on-the-turntable thing many times. The stupidity of the person holding the drink never ceases to amaze.

Last time I did a private party in a huge apartment I moved a huge plant in front of my table. Man, did that plant take a beating from drunk idiots. Better the plant than my decks.

She said.... no some REAL bootie shaking music. I said sure ok whatever.... a little while later......
YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
And she ran for the dance floor (she never left the area around the booth untill then).... and all i could think was STUPID PEON!!!!!!!

"Can you play something with rythm" or "Can you play something I can dance to" are 2 favorites, makes me laugh my ass of.
I also have a cure for all requesting idiots. All reuests are disqualifed I tell them. This works, and should be practiced by all dj´s. Also I get people trying to say something when they see you are obviously mixing in full effect, but they still want you to talk to them.
One other solution is also to put up a request list and charging people for that shit, ex Shakira - 500 dollars and so on.

I had a bit of an argument with one boy last night. Every week he keeps asking me for Anonymous by Bobby Valentino and I usually play it because I like the tune.

Anyway this weekend matey is there early and he comes up and asks for Bobby V. I'm like cool. I'll play it later in my slow section. He's like cool.

10 mins later he comes up and says play Anonymous. I'm like later bruv. it's too slow for now. But I'll definitely spin it.

Bare in mine all he does is goes and stands in the middle of the dancefloor looking around waiting for this tune.

10 mins later he grabs me by the arm (I'm mixing) and he shouts ''play my fucking tune''.

This is where I start to lose it a little..

Me - Listen
Him - I want ...
Me - I'm talking so shoosh!
Him - (silence)
Me - I said I will play your tune and I will. I play it every week. I'm just not playing it now.

He then walks off.

20 mins later he's back.

Him - I've waited and now I want my fucking tune.
Me - Look. Listen. If I don't see you dance with one girl in the next 5 minutes you're not getting your fucking tune. Now go!!

He must have gone and told his boys because all I see is them listen to him for a minute then burst out laughing and pointing at him.

Thing is I didn't see him after that so I ended up not playing his tune. Lol.

i occasionally do live hip hop shows at one of my spots so I get a lot of people that come thru looking to get on gigs...sometimes they'll ask me to drop a track and slip me a $20. I got these two cats that will come in and hand me a cd case. inside will be a Nice crisp $50 and a CD-R with one track on it. I'll pop in into the house cd player, hand them the mic and let em rip it real quick. I'm usually real picky about who I'll actually let rock the mic, but these guys actually kill it everytime and the crowd loves 'em...unfortunatetly for them it's their only good track. the rest are pretty garbage. It's a great situation though because it actually allows me to avoid being hassled about "putting them on" without having to actually book them for a full set, and i get extra loot out of it.

They were playing off vinyl & an instant playback machine (no serato)

So I'm playing my first song off vinyl, sorting out my laptop & SL1.

Some random rolls up on stage, tells me how he's one of the best 'underground' ragga MC's from a not-very--populated area of the country and wants me to 'let him see the mic'. I explain that I have A) never heard of him & B) not even set up my own gear yet. Not to mention the sound engineer has started de-rigging the cordless mics 2 feet away from us.

Old lady who is ALWAYS there: "Don't you have any country in there?"
me: "No."
Old Lady: "You mean to tell me that with all that technology crap you're using you don't have any country in there?
me: "yes"
Old Lady: "Yes you have country?"
me: "No, Yes I mean to tell you that I have no country in my library. You know that I have no country. I didn't have any the last 12 times you asked me and I'm not gonna have any the next 12 times you ask."
Old Lady: "Well why not!?"
me: "Because I don't play country. I don't get paid to play country. This is a hip hop venue. I'm paid to play hip hop."
Old Lady: "Well aren't you supposed to cater to your customers?"
me: "Look around. What do you think the ratio of hip hop lovers to country lovers is? <long pause> I'd say I'm catering to my customers."
Old Lady: "Well there's country on the jukebox right? Could you turn your music off for a few minutes so we could play what we want to hear on the jukebox?"
me: "<chuckle> Who is 'we'?"
Old Lady: "Me and my sister."
me: "<chuckle> You're joking right? You want me to turn off my system so that you can turn the jukebox back on? I don't think Derek (the owner) would be real happy with that."
Old Lady: "Why would he not be happy with that? You're supposed to cater to the customers."
me: "Because I'm paid to keep the crowd happy. Look around lady, there's 200 people in here and 198 of them came here to hear hip hop. I'm here 1 night a week, you're here every single day. You know I start at 9 on Fridays. If you wanna hear country then you've got all week and up til 9pm on Fridays to play as much country as you want. While I'm here it's hip hop, because that's what the people came here to hear. Get over it."
Old Lady: "Well I'm gonna discuss this with Derek."
me: "Ha! Go for it. Do you really think he's gonna give a shit? It's 2 vs. 200 lady. Good luck!"

The same chick flipped a bird when she was walking out, because I'm not playing the same song twice no matter what you do! I will lie to see your perfect tits, though! ;)

DJNickPeters 11:48 PM 31 January 2008

I had a girl come up to me while spinning and she told me if I played her friends request that her friend would come home with me that night. I remember at the time thinking ha that's funny but I went ahead and played the song. Nothing happened her friend never came up to talk to me while I was spinning that night. At the end of the night I was chatting with the bartender and a girl came over (cute!) she said do you remember that request you had earlier? I said not off the top of my head, I get a lot of requests. She then told me I'm the one who said I would go home with you if you played my song. I have to admit I was a bit startled by that but sure enough she spent the night. Now that's the good part of the story, bad part is that happened in the early nineties and it hasn't happened ever since. :( Oh yeah the funny thing, I can't remember what song it was she requested.

I could go on forever in this thread about the 7 years I spent djing in Asia but the story above is definitely the most unique situation I ever encountered in my dj career.

Big line dance from 2001. If you ever play party cheese, try it.

There's a DJ Casper on here sometimes, and I think it's the same guy who made this song. He's probably still getting serious $$$ for it.

emmerse 6:35 PM 3 February 2008

Aside from the typical "play something I can dance to" and "do you have any hip hop?" (I'm a house DJ), I can finally add an original bullsh*t comment to this list:

First a little background: I live in South Dakota. You can imagine the club scene around here (see: none). A few of us local DJs managed to lock up a bi-monthly deal with a new martini bar. The bar wanted to bring something that no other bar in town has (actual DJs, not radio DJs moonlighting as club DJs).

Sooooo, it had been going real well for the first few weeks. People who had never heard real house music were bobbin their heads, closet house heads were freaking out because "their" music is finally getting played out and everyone is diggin the tunes all around.

One night, there was some sort of benefit in the hotel above this bar, and all these snooty middle aged asshats come shuffling down after the benefit ended. Most of them were hanging out having a good time, but there was a group off to the left of the DJ booth clearly not feeling the music.

I'm doing my thing, trying to ignore the icey glares from stage left. I hear "hey DJ, play some Skynnard". Ugh, here we go. "Play something else!" Finally a guy walks up as I'm drinking my beer between mixes. He goes "Hey buddy, are you going to play the same song all night?"

Without blinking and with a completely straight face I reply, "Yes, this is the only song I'm playing all night. I'm just looping it over and over." He looks at me like I just spoke in latin and turns away to sit back down. asshat.

allenbina 6:53 PM 3 February 2008

DJ-A 6:29 PM 4 February 2008

HERE IS SOMETHING I HATE...

someone comes up to you, requests a song... you just happen to have it ready to play next... so they keep coming up to you requesting more songs cause they think you'll play whatever they want. but the only song you played that they technically requested was the first one

DJ_Motion 6:36 PM 4 February 2008

I hate those peeps that request multiple songs at different times before it's even 10.

This happened to me thursday night... this dude asked for like 4 songs before 9:50.

He didn't get the point when I told him.. Let me see if I brought it tonight and then ignored him...

Also, those people that request a song.. then stand behind you waiting for it.

DJ-A 6:58 PM 4 February 2008

and ask you why you haven't played it yet...

then talk to you like an asshole because you arent playing it right now, even though they have reminded you 5 times... by this time youre thinking f-u i was going to play it before you even requested it, now you dont want to play it anymore cause dude is a dick, but you know everyone in the club will start requesting it if you dont...

or the will you play _____ for me.

I just played it 2 minutes ago. and then they stand there with a blank look on their face as they wait for your response...

here's my new response...

them "Do you take requests"

me "well that depends... do you take requests *wink wink*"

DJ-A 6:59 PM 4 February 2008

Saturday Night

Guy: Yo man you think I could here some DJ Kwik?
Me: Yeah no problem!
Guy: Hey thanks man. Any way you'd be able to throw a Spice 1 joint in there?
Me: Lemme check on that one 'cause I'm not sure what I got.
Guy: Word, thanks bro...

about 10 minutes later I drop 'Bitch better have my money', then the other DJ jumps on for a while. about a half hour later while I'm waiting for a drink 'GUY' comes back up to me:

Guy: Yo you gonna be able to drop a Spice 1 track?
Me: Oh shit, yeah my bad man, I'll see what I got when I get back on the tables.
Guy: I'm just asking for one song yo...
Me: You actually asked my for two songs, and one of them I already played. Like I said before I'll be more than happy to drop that Spice joint for you when I get back on the tables if I have any. I just honestly don't know what I've got for him, if anything.
Guy: It's like that huh? Don't even worry about it if it's that big of a deal yo. All I asked for was one track.
Me: You're not hearing me bro. I said I'll play it if I got it.
Guy: Nah man don't even don't even trip. I just don't see why you can't even drop 1 track.
Me: DUDE! LISTEN! I'm not bullshitting you. I seriously don't know if I even have any Spice 1 and haven't even had a chance to look.

Guy walks away all butthurt.

dj_penguin 12:56 AM 5 February 2008

Probably the strangest thing I ever encountered happened while doing a bar gig at a hotel bar right near the UC Berkeley campus. One of my friends worked there as a bartender, and he had gotten a gig set up for our entire DJ crew, spinning house music. The first night they paid us for our performance with free drinks, and they never made that mistake again. They switched us to cash, and we were on a much tighter leash; it was made clear that we would lose the gig if any of us created a traffic menace, drunkenly hollered insults at the security guards, attracted the attention of the local police, did any of the other stuff that happened the first night, or deviated from the contract in any way. Fast forward a few weeks, and it's a relatively slow Tuesday night. There's a much smaller crowd than usual, but still a good group of drunken college kids getting their groove thang on. It's about 10, and there's this table full of older guys that've been giving me the stink-eye the whole evening, and one of the guys gets up and starts walking over.

Old Guy: Hey, can you play something else?

djp: What did you have in mind?

Old Guy: Maybe the Beatles, or some Eagles or something. (points at my turntables) I mean, you have record players, right?

djp: Sorry dude, I don't have anything like that.

Old Guy: But my friends and I are in town for our 30-year class reunion, and we're staying at this hotel, and we don't like this music.

djp: I'm sorry to hear that. The manager of this bar hired me and my friends to play house music in here two nights a week, and this is one of those nights.

Old Guy: (somewhat stunned that his mighty arguments and vast chronological superiority have failed to sway me) But we don't like this music!

djp: Look, I don't know what to tell you. The manager of this place wants house music to draw in the college crowd. That's why there's a special on well drinks tonight, and that's why we were hired to play house music. (I point at the people drinking/dancing) You see? Even if I had some Eagles records or Beatles records, which I don't, I couldn't play them tonight. This (I point at the 3-4 crates of house records on the bench behind me) is all we brought for the night.

Old Guy: (getting red-faced now) But my friends and I came here 30 years ago! And we're trying to celebrate our reunion without listening to this garbage!

djp: Umm, congratulations? I'm really sorry you don't like the tunes, but there's nothing I can do about that. There are at least a half-dozen good bars within three blocks' distance from here if you don't want to listen.

The dude sputtered for a minute and then stormed off, very agitated, and sat back down with his pals, where they all proceeded to give me the stink-eye for at least 20 more minutes before they finally left.

I guess some people are just severely unaccustomed to not getting their way all the time.

well played, and I'm sure you're right about the credits. I guess that's just the way it's listed in my library (Bitch better...-DJ Kwik). And that's actually the song that dude wanted to hear, but either way the point was that I was trying to explain to dude that I would be more than happy to play his request if my search determined that I had what he wanted (anything by Spice 1 in this instance) and he was pretty much accusing me of lying to him for no reason.

Im getting so annoyed by bitches asking for "Boots with the fur" or "apple bottom jeans" I actually (without thinking) rudely tell them "THE SONG IS CALLED LOW" and give them a glare. Probably not the best idea since most of them are hot but this is almost more annoying than soulja boy.

when stuff like that happens.. it makes you wonder how many people out on the floor actually get what you're doing, and how many people are just waiting for a song they know the words to. I think in the future, when I get someone like that, I'll take it as a cue to throw in a mix cd.

Funny thing here is that you just did exactly what you're complaining about...assuming that by 'Soulja Boy' you meant 'Crank Dat'.

I'm getting tired of 'Low' too, but it's an automatic floor-packer with immeasurable value right now...just like 'Crank Dat' unfortunately.

I think that for me, I just need to change up the way I use it. For instance, instead of playing the regular versions of 'Crank Dat' I've been playing the mash-up vs. Low RIder version (everybody likes 'Low Rider'). I've got this really dope transition track that goes from 'Get Low' (Lil Jon) up to 'Low' (Flo Rida), and another transition track that goes from 'It's Me Bitches' (Swizz Beats) up to 'Gimme More' (Britney Spears). I'm sure many of you have them too, but I just have a lot of fun using them and it's been a good way to keep new ideas in my performance.

Your logic is flawed. He isn't complaining that people are requesting the song by its artist (Flo-Rida -> Soulka Boy), he's complaining that they are requesting it by a stupid lyric from the song.

So, had he said 'this is almore more annoying than 'superman dat hoe' you would have a valid argument. Unfortunately for you, as the thread currently stands, you do not.

negative. i actually like the song. especially when a groupie hottie is in the booth grinding on me.

i just hate hearing requests gor it... i do like pitbull's go girl more though

Releaux 8:57 PM 6 February 2008

I admit to kind of liking Low, but like DJ-A, get really irritated when the requests start at 8:30 and continue every 5 minutes, even when I just finished playing it.

I'm considering posting a sign reading, "LOW WILL BE PLAYED AT 15 MINUTES PAST THE HOUR EVERY HOUR, FOLLOWED BY CRANK DAT , CYCLONE, TIMBALAND, FERGIE, NELLY FURTADO, SEXY BACK, AND GWEN STEFANI. THE CYCLE WILL THEN REPEAT ITSELF."

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

"Could you turn it down please?"

Quote:

this is almost more annoying than soulja boy.

Funny thing here is that you just did exactly what you're complaining about...assuming that by 'Soulja Boy' you meant 'Crank Dat'.

Your logic is flawed. He isn't complaining that people are requesting the song by its artist (Flo-Rida -> Soulka Boy), he's complaining that they are requesting it by a stupid lyric from the song.

So, had he said 'this is almore more annoying than 'superman dat hoe' you would have a valid argument. Unfortunately for you, as the thread currently stands, you do not.

I knew this was coming...and I understand what you're saying, but I meant simply that he was referring to the song directly without calling it by its correct name which is exactly, in essence, what djgeeth was complaining about.

but like I said earlier...

quote]...assuming that by 'Soulja Boy' you meant 'Crank Dat'.

maybe I'm the only one that has people asking me for 'the Soulja Boy song' in the same context as 'the apple bottom jeans song'.

and for the record, it's not about owning anybody...just pointing it out.

LOL.. that is true. i am lucky enough to have a security guard who intercepts all the useless people with requests so the amount of people I deal with personally has gone down. one thing i've noticed is when you make eye contact with them, they will come rushing up.... and assuming you play their request, they will come back for more and probably write out a whole essay for you

@djmoneyd425 I feel ya haha, they've just asked me for 'soulja boy' so many times its ingrained in my head which song they are referring to, not that I would ever play anything else by him anyway.

I say we have a National Day of Non-shitty Songs and we all band together and refuse to play them at the same time. Pandemonium would surely ensue :)

Just making sure that i didnt miss a song that came out recently thats called Superman... (well not really)

Releaux 7:41 PM 7 February 2008

DJ-A, she was probably talking about Crank Dat by Soulja Boy.

I've had it requested as "SouljaBoy" (hopefully this indicates one-hit wonder status for all time), "That song that goes, 'YOOOOUUUUUUU!'", "Superman," and a couple of other completely random things.

The only thing I've *never* had it requested as is its actual title.

Whenever we play it, all the bouncers flip off the booth on every "YOOOOUUUUUUUU!"

I have to give credit to Mr. Boy, though... it's pure marketing genius for him to create his own line dance to the song.

The messed up thing is that MONTHS later people are still requesting Soulja Boy. The worst is his new song where he's pretty much mumbling. Yaaaaa gibila ya gibila ya - trick. Git out mah way/face whatever.

At 77BPM I can double time it with some quick house/techno, but that pisses people off even more because the folks requesting shit like that do not want to hear it double timed.

Spinning at a top-40 college club it's pretty much a necessity to play this shit.

Next time someone ask you for a superman.. Educate them on What exactly Superman dat hoe really means. Here is the actually meaning as quoted from the Urban Dictonary

Superman Dat hoe: Superman
is when a guy cums/ejaculates on a girl's back and puts a sheet on her
back. When she wakes in the morning and stands up, the sheet is stuck to
her back (like a cape) , you have officially supermanned that hoe.Watch
Me crank dat Souljah boy now superman dat hoe.

so, getting my ass grabbed (by chicks) isn't anything new, especially in the club. last night it was a diff kind of ass grab, she slipped her hands down the back of my pants (not boxers) and grabbed my ass... i thought for a second and realized what she did, i turned and was pleasantly surprised that it was a HOTT chick, i looked at her and smiled, and said hi. she stared for a second and then kissed me.

later in the night (there were tons of people around me) i started to feel a bump, bump, bump on my left thigh i turn and boom boom boom another HOTT chick starts bumpin my junk with her fine ass...

wow, if every night was like that.. what a wonderful world. i think i got a pic with the ass bumper and her friends, i'll have to check

Management decided last night that they were going to try to get serious about getting Saturday nights back to being retro night. They didn't tell me this, though, until after I'd already played 3-4 newer rap songs around 11:30. So of course as soon as I drop back to retro everyone starts requesting rap since they know I'll play it. I hold my own with retro until about 1:05 when I drop a couple more of the most requested tracks because the crowd has been really cool and patient.

Around 1:15, assistant manager tells me not to play anything newer than 1992 for the rest of the night. Fine - no problem.

1:50 (Last call is at 2:15)... chick comes up to me after I've kept the place hopping with classic heaters.

Her: "Can you play Cyclone?"

Me: "Sorry, I'm not playing any more new hip hop or rap tonight."

Her: "Ok, well how about Low?"

Me: "I already played it, and I'm not playing any more new hip hop or rap tonight."

Her: "Do you have Lean Back?"

Me: "I have it, but I'm not playing any more new hip hop or rap tonight. Management wants me to keep it retro for the rest of the night, sorry."

Her: (pause...) "Can you play Soulja Boy then?"

Me: (deep breath) "No. No more rap tonight. Just retro."

Her: (longer pause.......) "So are you gonna play anything better than this?" (referring to Prince: 1999)

Me: (Deadpan) "Probably not."

The weird thing is that she didn't seem overly drunk or stupid. It was almost like she thought she could beat me down if she just kept asking for stuff.

In those situations I just send them to management. I'm all for changing the music policy sometimes but it needs to be planned out before hand not halfway through your set ''oh can you play this for the next two hours''.

Drunk Guy - Do you have a girlfriend

deejay barber 8:26 PM 18 February 2008

I just don't get it. Its like people need to request "something". On Saturday nights I do an all 80's 90's hip hop night at my residency. (the place has multiple floors). So a chick comes up, askes for some T-Pain. So I politely said, "I'm sorry, but its a 80's - 90's theme up here tonight, what else would like to hear?

So this chick says, oh well then play some Akon.

I'm looking at her like "WTF?!?!"

so Then she requests a song I don't have, so again I politley tell her sorry. Now she's standing there for a good 5 minutes. I wanted to just yell at her, "is making a request on your "to do list", because your missing out on having fun". She then said, Play Whitney Houston.

I swear people, just have to request something for the sake of requesting something.

Now dont get me wrong... i love some pac BUT its just these guys trying to look cool by requesting it. So I tell them, Name to first group big named that 2pac was in and I'll play it. So they always say thats not fair man, i dont know that. I tell them to come back in a few mins and I'll see if i can play some. As i see them come up i'll cue up Digital Undergrounds "Same Song". As they get to the booth i tell them see I'm playing some pac, and they ALWAYS say this shit aint no pac, this is that humpty guy, and I say yeah, The Humpty guys band is Digital Underground, wich is the group that pac was first with, and this is the first recorded song with that group that pac rapped in.

Ever since meeting my missus I've had a new found appreciation for Celine Dion and other artists like that. Jamaicans seem to love her off for some reason.

You could be in the middle of a dance and the selector will draw for some Celine and the crowd will go wild.

DJ-A 3:10 PM 20 February 2008

It was the same when I was in Barbados. I'm dancing with this local girl to some soca then the dj drops a chemical brother tune.

It's that old dilema of what works better. Mixing or tune selection.

Where alot of sound system selectors lack in mixing ability they make up for in vibe building and tune selection.

Although I draw the line at bloody chemical brothers. Lol.

I was DJing for the K-1 fights last night, playing entrance music & between rounds.
Had some kid come up asking me 'how many fights left' after EVERY fight. "um, one less than last time?"
Plus, I'm dealing with fighters CD-Rs, national anthems & a mad Sefu who wanted AC/DC 'Thunderstruck' between every round. (literally, it's the ONLY song he wanted to hear. All night)
What do you do when the dude running the event wants to hear the same song fifty times? (take into account he has a gym worth of fighters in the place, and he also used to hold the record for the world's fastest punch)
Maybe I won him over with the Black Sabbath & Led Zeppelin?

Without fail, there are always a few people tripping on ___hallucinogens. So normally it's a pretty fun environment to play to. For some reason, every single time I play there, these 4 guys always show up, uninvited, and scream for me to play wu tang clan...while I'm in the middle of some dark/hard-step dnb, or something similar. I don't understand it. I wish I could double down quick enough to make them happy as they're being thrown out, but it always happens so quick. I wish i had an ain't nothing to fuck with/ dnb mashup.

I was dropping some reggae last night and the crowd are loving it. All of a sudden some Amy Whinehouse look alike runs in the booth looks at the mixer and says...

''I thought this was an 808 with the effects''

She then mumbles somthing and walks out.

About half an hour later. I'm dropping some bass heavy tunes and she runs back in and starts trying to mess with the eq's turning the bass on and off. The bouncer comes up and tells her to come out the booth and she's like tell him you know me and that I can stay.

I told her junkie arse to jog on.

Some of the old Ed Rush/Fierce/Nico tunes on No U Turn ("Damn Son" & "MDM" for starters) are loaded with Wu Tang samples/snippets. It'd be a nice compromise.

I'm playing the usual crap at this club and everyone is dancing. I ALWAYS push some good music. So, I get ready to throw some Tribe, Nas or whatever the fuck I'm feeling cause I need to clean myself of the evil spirits. :P

So, I drop some Tribe, people go nuts. Good call. I switch it up again. Later on, I drop some classic Biggie, love from the crowd again. Now I notice this girl doing the "kill it gesture to the neck" and I ignore her. I go back to playing crap. I got everyone under my control. 10 songs later or so, I drop Luniz - I Got 5 On it. Place goes wild. Same girl giving me the "kill it" hand gesture again.

Finally, she comes up to me for a request. I tell her, "You do this again" (while doing the "kill it motion") and I'm asking security to kick you out. Girl apologizes and leaves the booth embarrassed.... and KC Double just laughs her ass off. hahaha

sixxx 9:59 AM 3 March 2008

3 weeks ago. Sports bar.

I'm playing some cool shit. I go into a Bay Area freestyle session and they're going nuts. The other illegalalien (a-dub) follows with some Dirty South. Place goes nuts. They're loving it.

I take over. Switch it up again. They're loving it. NOW THIS GIRL DECIDES TO COME TO me and request more Dirty South... which I won't play since a-dub already did. She's rude. I tell her straight up that I'll have a-dub play it on his next turn. She straight gives me the evil eye and walks off. As I'm playing my next few songs, she keeps coming up and requesting the same damn song and rude as hell still. I ignore her.

Finally, as I play my next song I see the bitch get up and she's heading my way again. I give her the "stop" motion with my hand and tell her BEFORE SHE CAN SAY ANYTHING, "fuck off". She gets pissed, cusses me out or something and leaves.... and KC Double just laughs. lol

Caramac 2:39 PM 3 March 2008

@ Sixxx - Bruv sounds like you need a holiday or something. Lol.

I had to get some woman barred the other day. She kept hassling me to take her home whilst I was talking on the phone with my girl. She then threatened my girl (you don't threaten a yardie girl Lol). Security told her to sling her hook and not come back.

John Nasty 6:04 PM 7 March 2008

OK guys, this one is going to make you fall of your chairs :
2 years ago i was playing at this local club, and this happens :
Guy : " Hey, this music sucks , can you play something we can sing to " ( me , playing house music , him ; wants to hear some rock songs )
Me : Sorry , we don´t play any rock music , or anything like that. This is a house club.
Then he starts to yell at me , sayin i was a bad DJ , this and that, so i called security and they moved him away.
A half an hour later guys comes back ; and starts the same routine again. Only this time , he does not insult me, he starts telling me stuff about my mother , sister. At that point i lost it. I pushed the guy so hard i could , and he falls on the floor. Security comes and throw him out.
Last summer , i got call from police, and they ask me about that night what happened. I tell them what happened and they call me to police station. Over there i found out that he pressed charges against me for HITTING him. Apparently he visited the hospital afterwards and had some documentations over some injuries ( a swelling on the back of his head ). And they told me that i was charged for " physical abuse and assault ".
The whole thing goes to trial and there he had 2 friends as witnesses. When the judge started to question them , they started with some story, like " well , i didn´t see it all so clearly, but i saw my friend fall " Anyway, i had some witnesses as well. Security guy , and one guy that worked that night. 2 weeks later i find out that , not only did i won , but the guy and his friends were charged for false witness. The guy that pressed charges against me , had to pay for all trial costs ( around 10 000 $ ) and his friends ended up in jail ( doing 6 months each. In sweden, a false witness does get you in jail :). So, from now on , whenever someone comes and asks for the song, if they bother me , i just call security :).

Xfade 2:24 AM 8 March 2008

John Nasty, If people say Sweden in this forum, I'm waking up :P

sopranosupasta 4:07 PM 9 March 2008

OOOOOK. So last night. i killing it with a bomb house set....this dude comes up to me and says "play just a drum beat, trance, just a dark drum beat" babbling just like that.... Im getting ready to start playing hip hop so i say. "Im going to play some hip hop right now, ill get back into some house later in the night"......this is where it gets good.

He starts saying. "i dont care. play a crazy drum beat hip hop trance drum beat,dark drum beat, drum beat, drum beat drum beat" so i look at the dude, and he's obviously wacked outta his mind and i say "ok bro, your starting to bother me please go away". he looks at me and starts to reach for my turntable thats playing and says "I'LL STOP THIS RECORD"...so i look at him tell him "If you touch my equipment, i will punch you in the face" at this point my woman got security and they "escorted" him away......

frost-9 8:03 AM 10 March 2008

Last night...

drunk girl w/ friends: "Can you please play Rise Up?"

me: "I don't have any tracks by that name.."

drunks: pleeeeeeeeeeeease!!!

me: "I don't know what song you're talking about it, and I obviously don't have it"

drunks: "But it's her birthday... with you just play Rise Up pleeeeeeeeeeease"

me: "YOU'RE NOT LISTENING.. I DON'T FUCKING HAVE IT"

I hate thick people.

Caramac 8:45 AM 10 March 2008

Lol to the last two the best thing to say is...

''sure I'll play that in 5 mins''

If they're that thick or wasted you can lie and say I played it. You were dancing.

Hawk 11:52 AM 10 March 2008

Saturday night, just after playing Vernon Burch's 1980 tune "Get Up", I got a request to play "the Deelight song" (Groove is in the heart, heavily samples "Get Up"). I say I don't have it . Girl says "but you just played it!!" I say "well good, glad you enjoyed it".

Captain Funkwash 1:18 AM 11 March 2008

Playing at a bar with a crowd that varied a lot week to week, sometimes a great bunch some times a bunch of tossers. You can guest the group I put this next request into. Playing Hip hop/funk/breaks and varying style every 4 or 5 songs to try and keep crowd happy. Someone came up to me and said

"Have you got anything that isn't shit?"

What do you answer to that?

I've actually never heard of this track. I just did a google search and found a youtube video where somebody played with song with still pictures of Vernon's album cover. I kept listening and waiting to hear something familiar.

Then it came. Damn, I had no idea. All these years I thought Super DJ Dmitri & Towa Tei were playing that silly slide whistle sounds.

DJ ST 10:59 AM 20 March 2008

I'm not usually into making requests, as I know how irritating it can be.
But last weekend at this lame lounge/nightclub near my house,
DJ drops all of a sudden amidst all of that 5cent techno-remixes "Be Faithful".
We're all rushing to the floor, and I ask the DJ to turn it up.

Me: "Turn it up. Loud!"
DJ: "I can't."
Me: "Why? This is an anthem!"
DJ: "Cos there are apartments just above us, and the manangement said that the volume mustn't
go above this level."

I was just dumbstruck.
Why build a bar/nightclub to a place where you can't crank the volume up 'cos of the tenants?
I've never heard such a thing, at least not in Finland...

Caramac 12:35 PM 20 March 2008

It depends which came first. A similar thing happened at one bar in town. A hotel was built next to the bar. When it was finished they complained about the noise of the bar and the bar had to pay for a whole side of the club to be re-sound proofed.

DJ Autograph 7:35 AM 23 March 2008

Dude comes up to me in the middle of a crunk set and the convo goes:

Dude: Since you on Serato can you play make it rain next?

Me: Why? Not sure where I'm going with this

Dude: I'm about to go to the bar and change some 20's and make it rain. Can you play it in three songs?

Me: Ammmm, no, i'm not sure what i'm going to play next

Dude gives me the evil eye and walks away. I absolutely HATE posters ugh....

DJ_Motion 9:46 PM 23 March 2008

Be Faithful is a good party started. But i would never request it. Who the hell plays the whole thing ne way LOL... I couldn't tell you how the rest of that shit goes. I only us the part that Says Base drop and Black sheep LOL

kicko 5:08 PM 24 March 2008

^--- exactly :)

DJ ST 5:11 PM 24 March 2008

IMO Be Faithful is "played out", but definately NOT a POS.
BUT if you consider yourself a DJ, then when you play a party-break or a hype song of any kind, AV8, Crooklyn Clan or not, you're supposed to play it loud, yes?

And hearing Be Faithful amidst all that 5cent eurotechno garbage (NOT Justice, Steed Lord or any Ed Banger etc.), is kinda fresh. At that moment.

Three months ago, when I was playing at this party for exchange students at our University,
the theme of the party was to play music across the globe.
So in the middle of a latino-Brazilian-set, a dude from Spain walks up to the booth.

Spaniard: Do you know how to make a party crappy?
Me: Huh?
Spaniard: To play a lot of latin music!

That was kinda odd, but I guess he wasn't fan of that genre.

Last night's classics all come from the same bird.

''I'm a lyricist and a singer so play me some Rihanna.''

''Please play me some Rihanna. I dance just like a black girl.''

I was going to play her some for some jokes but then she hit one of the bouncers and he yelled at her and she then went off in a sulk for the rest of the night. Lol.

dj link 1:06 AM 27 March 2008

I spun a college party on St. Patrick's Day and there were about 150-200 people dancing for the 2 hours I had been on.

Punk 1 comes up to me and eyes my equipment (1200s, 56 mixer, SSL, and my green vinyl for the occasion).
Punk 1: Yo man, I really dig your equipment. This is some nice stuff. But I know you got some better music cause nobody's dancing (note like I said earlier, about 150-200 people were buggin out). Play some good shit man.
All this was in a condescending tone like he knew how to rock a party, let alone touch a record.

I put on my best Ari Gold impersonation matched with a beautiful shit eating grin and told him: See those people over there? Yeah, over there. Why don't you shut the fuck up and join them?

He walked over and started to dance. Go figure.

Punk 2: Hey man, can you play Kanye all night?
Me: Yeah after you leave.

djlenza 1:21 PM 31 March 2008

Drunk Chick: "do you have anything in there i could use to tie my hair back?"

d:raf 1:54 PM 31 March 2008

A girl last Friday; "Play something that will make me wanna bang my head against the wall" while I was playing a drum-n-bass set.

I talked to her later and found out she was asking me for some minimal Detroit techno.

Caramac 2:25 PM 31 March 2008

Lol @ the hair scrunchy one. There are some wierdos out there for sure.

On Friday I had a bit of a 80's moment and was playing some Michael, some Luther, Alexander all that sort of stuff and this bird was like..

''what are you playing?''
''Michael Jackson''
''Why?''
''I like this song''
''What are you going to play next?''
''Probably another MJ tune. Why what would you like to here?''
''Don't know''
''Ok then''
''You ever been to Ibiza?''
''No''
''You should go''
''Ok then''

She then got in a mood with me because I wouldn't let her leave her bag in the dj booth.

frost-9 9:39 PM 31 March 2008

Me: "Uh..?"

Ok, this technically doesn't fit in this thread, but it's related to the topic in spirit and I just have to share.

This past weekend I was hanging out at a club where I do fill-in spots from time to time. I headed home around 1am, but stopped outside the door to talk to the guy who runs the hot dog cart. We were laughing about how drunk people look very different when you're older and sober than when you're twenty-something and hip.

About that time a pretty buff guy comes out with his girl (both pretty tipsy) and they're heading to the sister club on the opposite corner. He smells the bratwurst cooking and obviously wants one...

"Oh man, I'm hungry. Hey babe, do you want a dog?"

"No. You don't need one... come on."

She drags him across the street. About halfway across the crosswalk, he turns and shouts back, "Hey! How much are those dogs?"

The girl slaps him. Kind of playfully, but it was definitely a real slap - we could hear it over the traffic and club noise from 100 feet away.

The hot dog guy shouts back, "Hey man, you just got bitch slapped!"

Without a pause, the guy shouts back...

"She's not a bitch... she's just kind of slutty!"

We lost it. One of the funniest things I've heard in a long time.

Dj Grimey 9:31 PM 6 April 2008

I still don't understand why **some** latin people insist on hearing latin music everywhere they go. My best friends are latin and don't do it, but I get hounded at least once a night, almost every night I DJ by someone wanting reggaeton, or something else sung completely in spanish. I wish this would stop, and those folks would realize the best place to hear a very ethnic specific genre is to go to a latin club, and not lounges, sports bars, or clubs that cater to top 40 crowds.

I then had some girl tell me she was part of a female rugby team and was going to rigby tackle me if I didn't play her song. She was actually alright so I called her bluff and didn't play her song. Lol. The girl was full of shit. I'm still walking woman!!! I'm still walking. Lol.

this hott chick kept coming up to me all night giving me 5-10 bucks a time... i had no problem playing her songs cause i liked all of them =) only once per song though

DJ Young Herrera 7:53 PM 8 April 2008

A couple times i've made a couple hundred in tips at the club. I find that Albanians and Arab kids do this a lot. I dunno...but it makes me feel like a stripper.

sopranosupasta 8:03 PM 8 April 2008

yeah. i get $20's all the time, usualy from the boyfriend of a pushy chick. the girl will make a request, but she wants to hear it RIGHT NOW, well i dont play that. and the bf will come up slap a $20 on me, and it gets played next.....i wish this happened all the time, but its only once and a while.

Dj_KaGeN 8:05 PM 8 April 2008

this past sat night:

dumb bitch: speaks to my headphone as I give her the 'hold-on' signal, I was mid-mix

me: "yes?" - as I take the headphone off my ear

dumb bitch: "Got something I can shake my ass too?"

me: "I'm fresh out of shake your ass"

dumb bitch: stands there like she didn't hear me

me: "I'm fresh out of shake your ass"

dumb bitch: stands there like she didn't hear me

me: "do you hear me?" [I lean in closer to her] "I'm fresh out of shake your ass"

mind you the floor is doing just fine....

dumb bitch: semi-stunned now, "You suck, you're, you're you're nothing but a record player."

I was playing on CDJ's, what a stupid bitch. I was standing in the hallway of the place, gather my peeps and she passed by me rolled my eyes, did the cunty "phsssh" thingy. My chic was right there, reading me & waiting for me to respond as if I could let her off the leash to go tear this bitch up... I smiled and laughed at her, and my buddy did 5 drunken "pshhs" back at her...

DJ-A 9:58 PM 8 April 2008

lol at your buddy... i pictured that as i was reading... too bad not every chick thats at a bar is as hott as your blond with the red thong...

i'd love a chance to get her rolling her eyes... and thats just from your discription of her...

they probably thought it was "The Anthem" which rapes (not samples) Calabria. For some reason, I can't stand when you get people whining about merenge, salsa, raggaeton.. The Anthem or a Shakira track is the most compromise I'll give them being that they're refusing to go to a latin club.

+1.

This one time, I had guy come and request that I play some Biggie. I said sure, no problem. He then proceeds to give me $2. I'm like, no thanks - just go buy yourself a drink. He insists that I take the money, and when said "No, its cool." he leaves on one of the turntables in the booth.

15 minutes later...

I'm on my way to the bathroom and the bar so I get a friend who's there to jump in for a song or two. This guy comes back and gets mad at me while I'm about to walk out of the booth that I'm not the DJ and I just tried to steal his money...LOL!

Caramac 12:32 PM 9 April 2008

It was only recently that this happpened where someone offered to tip me for playing a tune and giving a happy birthday shout out. It just never happens in the UK. She was from Eastern Europe. I just told her to keep her money.

DJNelson 1:38 PM 9 April 2008

I've only been tipped once, despite trying for ages to give him his money back. I had played Oasis and he was delighted, so he dropped me a tenner. I even tried giving it back to his friends but when they gave it back to him he came over to me and gave it back. The welsh, legends :D

It is hard to dance and DJ at the same time

she is determined so she starts dancing grinding on my leg rugging her boobs against me and puts my hand on her ass...

i kind of move a little to the music, but she was a little irritated i didnt get down and funky...

end of the night she comes up to chat, we say bye and she turns to leave, goes 5 feet and turns around comes back and says i should go home with her...

ShaneC 4:39 PM 10 April 2008

1. "Can you play (insert a song)?" While that EXACT song is playing - dim wits. Reading this thread I see lots of people like to do that.

2.
- "Can you play (insert a song)?"
- "no I just played it like two songs ago"
- "oh I know but I was outside having a smoke and missed it."

3.
It's like 11.30, club quiet as when some idiot comes up...
"can you play (insert some big song you want to hold off on till like 1:30 when the place is hoppin) now coz I'm about to leave."

4.
Someone comes up and asks for a track song by the spawn of Satin, but to spare their feelings instead of saying, "you have shit taste" you say "sorry, forgot to bring that record with me" (they're always too stupid to notice you're djing off a laptop). THEN they say... "oh ok, will you sing it so?" Am... NO.

Last month a girl came up while I was mixing,I asked her to wait a minute. She refused to wait and started clicking at me like some dog, bitch got kicked out of the club before she knew what was going on.

DJ_ioglyphics 5:01 AM 11 April 2008

Manager at the club told me...."we you see the "thugs" on the dance floor, play some rock or something they won't like so they can leave. If we play to much of what they like, they might tell their Homies to come back with them" Mind you he also said the owner told him to tell me this. I don't know who's worse. The old as biggit of an owner, or the fuckbucket of a manager who is to young and dumb to know any better. What they don't know is that they say they want to be a "Top 40" all inclusive club. They even call it "Fusion". They do have a Latin/World Music night, and now a L.G.B.T night (Lez,Gay,Bi,Tranny), but they have an issue with to many black people, that dress in "thug wear". They have no idea what is in the "Top 40", and that the 18-25 year old white kids (like the owners son who requested a Tupac song) want to hear what they think is "hardcore thuged out music". In other words, they want the DJ to make himself look lame, but trying to do crowd control with music. The owner admittedly hates "rap". Well most of the shit in the Top 40 and the radio I hate too, but it is what his guest want, along with the classic Biggy, and other club bangers. The occasional "Real HipHop" shit like Tribe, or Common fits in well too. I got know complaints from the crowd. I never had people come up and want to just shake my hand and give me props for what I played, to have the manager come and complaint to me about it. So now they have this cat spinning on what was my night (ladies night) for the L.G.B.T crowd, and they want me to come in and listen to what he plays so that I can let them know if I can and want to play that kind of music. I felt fuckin insulted. I suppose there is a "Gay" way to DJ, or there is "Gay" music I should hear and ask myself, can I put that on a deck and spin it? See this is in a area that has a conservative good old boy type mentality. But, times are changing, and they are struggling with it. They don't have a single black employee, and the only minority they have is a Hispanic bouncer. He is only there to translate and I suppose "bounce the beaners"(as the management might say). I think I am going to turn this into a hobby and start a podcast radio show, and hope to get on XM(I am close to DC) or serious. Maybe just the web with a good following, and some real world local talent showing that HipHop is alive and well, just no longer for the masses. Nothing logical or intellectual is popular these days....damn....I am getting old. I am still a better DJ than most of you young cats here that couldn't mix Kool Aid without SSL. Get some rhythm you fuckbucket bama!

DJ_ioglyphics 5:17 AM 11 April 2008

I posted this in "Help" because I am having trouble with tracks with in or my entire crate disappears....This might have been a better place to put it. This was a ridiculous statement made by a one of these "Microwave" DJ. (the article where I got the term "Microwave DJ" is in the recent issue of Remix, unlike what I said below)

I am noticing in the Help section of the forum that made me have to start this. Initially I was looking for help with what I put in the subject field. I found one cat asked for help about entire crates disappearing, but then went on to ask "how is it that other DJ's mix so good so fast?" It reminded me of an article I read in Remix Magazine (not the last one with Q-Tip but the one before). It was about these "Microwave DJ's". DJ's that have decided they were a DJ because they had the cash to go out and by SSL, or Traktor along with some other hardware interface that simulates decks. See if this cat was a real DJ and really knew how SSL gives a turntablist the ability to do what his is hearing, he would not be asking this stupid fuckin question. I am 37 and I started at 13 (yes 198fuckin3), long before some of you cats were born, and you are fuckin it up for the real DJ's. Try buying vinyl and spending all day and night, mixing a set long enough to rock a 4+ hour gig without labels marked with BPM or any mixers with a BPM feature of any kind and then you would know how SSL enables you to mix accurately and fast. If you had to been over and pull a 12' out of a sleeve sitting in a milk crate, you would know. What makes it easy for me, is that I can sort by BPM, so I know what songs match. Knowing the songs that "should" match well doesn't help you actually blend the track fuckbucket, you still have to have an ear for how to blend the track in cue with the one you and everyone else can hear. Yes, with HipHop/R&B/Reggaeton even fuckin country can be mixed with anything. Fast and Slow songs can be "mixed" when you know how to "mix". I will give you microwave test tube baby fucks a tip. Think of a band of musicians. The drummer keeps the tempo, and the keyboard players and everyone else knows when to come in "ON FUCKIN BEAT"! It is that simple! If you are good, you can count bars and listen to the song and know the best time to start blending the tracks. Oh and if you are real good that spot in a track called a "bridge", it's a great place to bring in the next song, so you aren't boring people do death with the entire fucking song, before you "try" to mix in the next one. These so called mixed tapes like DJ Clue, where they scream over the beginning of the track and title it "mixed tape vol bullshit" is not how we started this. It was real mixed tracks, not what a label wanted to make radio DJ(Dick Jerks) play. I am particularly pissed because this is what has been fucking up real HipHop, that is still "Alive" and well. It is underground like it was, and still progressive and positive, and sometimes yes Gangsta (nothing wrong with that).
Back to SSL though..... you can be fast as shit with SSL when you have your crates organized in a way that helps you. But, if you aren't a real DJ and you can't really mixed....learn how to mix. Stop hating and perpetuating lies and theories about "real DJs" thats right, like me, that can mix, and scratch I might add. But my issues with SSL (not you fake as DJ's) is that my fuckin tracks disappear. I know it is something I am doing wrong, but haven't found out what, not even in the instructions. "All" of my tracks are on external hard disk, and the last version never gave me this problem. I upgraded because I made the mistake of going to Vista. If you are reading "DON"T DO IT". I am a Systems Admin/Net Engineer and I have issues I could not resolve to make it stable. Vista isn't even stable yet.
I am on XP Pro, with a Dell XPS M1710 2.0 Dual Core Intel, with 2Gigs RAM. My drives are both USB. If you had this issue, and or you share the same feelings I do about these fake fucks that think they're DJ's please put it on blast below. I can't even get paid what I am worth for gigs for some of these posers. The fake ones will read this and say the obvious dumb shit to make themselves know....Can't Wait! I purposefully did not mention any names. I am betting the very idiots will join the band wagon, when they are one of the posers. Yes this also applies to House DJ's, where I think the microwave DJ's exist in greater numbers. You can't hide behind BPM Meters or yes, so other "DJ Tool" to perform your set when you spin HipHop and other genres where the BPMs are all over the place, and not just....thump....thump....thump....thump.
I know I know "enough already", and, "Damn tell us how you really feel" If no one here comments or offers help, it is because they think I am a hater. OK thats cool, but you have to look at yourself in the mirror and you know you can't mix, or cut. Get some rhythm.

DJ Art Pumpin Payne 8:09 AM 11 April 2008

Alex, I'll take PARAGRAPH for $100

DJ ST 10:16 AM 11 April 2008

Last night, remember I live in a city of approx. 150,000, in Finland, I had agreed to play for a second time in this event titled; "Bounce Around the World Pt. 2".
As its predecessor, which I killed with CDJ's last autumn, was a party for exchange students at our university,
where the emphasis would be on music around the world (read=not sung in English).
Nice idea, eh?

The guy who promoted the night, a student in my alumni, wanted that I'd play more R&B/Hip-Hop/"laid-back" in downstairs, while his german DJ-friend played some techno/electro/trance upstairs (where I, as I said, packed the floor last time).
He suggested before the event that the ratio of English/other languages would be 50/50,
said: "OK, I'll try, but won't guarantee it."

After some sound issues, I started.
Fifteen minutes after start:

Girl: Is this some world-music night?

Me: Yes. Didn't you see the posters? (Hard to miss, even for a blind person.)

Girl: Well, this sucks. I'm from Vantaa (equivalent to saying to an American DJ, that you're from NYC or LA, read= I'm richer and better than you), on my friends birthday, and I wanna party! Play some top40 stuff!

Me: OK, how about Low? (were on the early steps of becoming conquered by that.)

Girl: No, that's like a year old (???), I want something newer, play Rihanna's "Please Don't Stop the Music" (?!?).

Procedeed to play that in a blend, floor starts packing, then some Daft Punk, Stardust, few house tracks with Latin flavor, then Pitbull's Fuego remix.
Right after that, dancefloor half full:

Trio of Latin girls: SHAKIIIRAA! Play some SHAAAKIIRAAA!

Me: Don't have it (using search library function, showing that I really don't have it).

Trio: PLAY SOME LATIN MUSIIIIC!!!

Me: (Pointing to the speakers, in the middle of Don Omar's verse) LISTEN!

Trio: .......... (Running to the floor)

01.30
In the middle of 90's Rap/R&B set, playing Mariah's "Fantasy", Gin&Juice, California Love, French Rap, etc.

Girl: Play Basshunter's "Boten Anna"!

Me: No.

Girl: Why not? This is international party, the Swedes would like to hear that!

Me: NO! I won't play it, cos I hate it, and it's played out, and it will kill the floor.
(For those of you unfamiliar, its the Europe equivalet of Soulja Boy : www.youtube.com view)

01.45

The Girl returns, with friends:

Dynamic Duo: Now listen, we paid to get in (lowly 2€), and we WANT to hear Boten Anna!
Why don't you play it?

Me: I hate it, its played out, and I wouldn't play it for a million euros!

DD are really taken back, their reaction being, like I'd just said really blasphemic.
Then they heat up, start to argue, one of them bumps the needle,SKREEEEEECH!, crowd looks at me, I point to DD, bouncers throw them out, problem solved.

At 02.00, in the middle of D&B-set, Tarantula is playing, floor on fire,
German dude comes up to me:

GD: Hi! I'm a DJ in Germany and you're very good, but you should play (not: could you play) Nothing Else Matters.

Me: If I'd have it I wouldn't play it right now.

GD: Well, play something up-beat then. (Pendulum's "Tarantula" not up-beat enough?)

At the end of the night, when I'm lugging my stuff out, I see the German DJ who played upstairs, to a crowd of 5-15, according to my girlfriend who was there three times.
He and the promoter (who, by the way is a very mediocre backpack-deskdrawer-rapper), are heading home. "Promoter" asks: "What did you do back there? Weren't supposed to play international stuff?"

I could see, that he was disappointed, but my set was pure cross-genre FIRE, and I did drop non-english tunes where ever possible.
But I talked to the ticket vendors, and we had sold some 500+ tickets, on a Thursday night.
And the drink sales must have been quite good to the club itself. We even had some customers, who were a part of the start-up crew of a huge cruise ship, really enjoyed themselves.
One of them even tipped me,when I dropped Pitbull's "Get Freaky".

I'm just tired of all these jealous haters, wannabe DJs and dumb douches who really believe that every motherfucking request they make will get played INSTANTLY, just because they paid to get in.

I suppose these same dimwits go to Avril's gigs and ask her to play some Beatles and Slayer?

Caramac 10:39 AM 11 April 2008

^^ Lol Bruv. SOunds like you had a very testing night.

I just remebered one stupid comment from that. This girl looked like Avril Lavigne from memory.

Anyway I'm packing up at the end of the night and this Avril Lavigne lookalike comes up to me and starts talking to me saying she enjoyed my set etc, I'm like cool. Then...

AL - Have you heard of (insert some random mix CD)
Me - Nah is it good? (couldn't care less if it was or not but felt like being polite)
AL - Yeah it is (Stumbles on spot old frunk arse)
Me - Cool. I'll try and check it out
AL - You should he does this mix with (random tune) and (random tune)
Me - Really? That sounds cool.
AL - Yeah it is. You know what?
Me - Nah What?
AL - If you did that same mix here the crowd would love it.
Me - You think?
AL - Yeah. He mixes it for like half a minute and then bam in comes the bass and the place would go nuts.
Me - Yeah I'm going to try that next week. You back next week?
AL - Maybe. I don't know.
Me - Ok see you if you are (continues packing)

This was a while ago so I can't remember what the dj was or what tunes he mixed on this magical cd but the conversation was priceless. Lol.

DJ 2GooD 11:52 AM 11 April 2008

ok i got a one for ya...
started my new spot at the club dj`d for about 6 hours everything went ok, guy comes upto me at the end while i`m putting my stuff away and says
"hey! you the dj huh your pretty shit mate to be fair. are you retarded? you look it"
I was like WTF?!? he started getting rowdy so i just ignored him and carried on packing away, a couple of guys came over and dragged him away saying "come on mate lets go yeah, just leave it" turns out he was the DJ i replaced and got sacked for stealing drinks and he won`t be bothering me again as he is now barred! still keep an eye out for him after gigs incase he fancies a fight or something

Caramac 1:08 PM 11 April 2008

JimboJones 3:16 PM 11 April 2008

That's fucking hilarious, not that it was a pisser for you, but that he's blatantly looking for a fight. What a dick

Caramac 4:09 PM 11 April 2008

@ DJ 2GooD - You should have told him and tonight I'll be servicing your missus as well. Lol.

DJ Young Herrera 5:21 PM 11 April 2008

Recently, I was getting bothered by a really drunk guy who kept trying to reach over my decks to tap me to try and tell me his request. The "booth" is on the edge of the dance floor and there is no barrier between it and the crowd. And its floor level. He tried three times and each time i swiftly grabbed his arm and lifted it high so he wouldn't hit the tone arm.

He obviously didn't like it and started yelling, I couldn't hear him because the system was quite loud and I had my headphones.

When he noticed I was ignoring him he stumbled around the entrance of the booth and pushed me from the side. As soon as i regained my balance, I stomp kicked him and he fell over and some people I knew kinda held him down. The place started to get a little nuts and fearing a riot, I switched the input on my 57sl over to the control signal to make everyone shut up.

Then I yelled at the bouncer to do his god damn job and he came over and took care of the guy. I was pretty pumped up at that point and had to calm down. Either way, I didn't like it and it killed the mood.

DJ-A 5:36 PM 11 April 2008

i had something similar to that happen... but i turned on the mic singled the dude out and turned off the lights...

DJBlisk 6:24 PM 11 April 2008

Quote:

Last night, remember I live in a city of approx. 150,000, in Finland, I had agreed to play for a second time in this event titled; "Bounce Around the World Pt. 2".
As its predecessor, which I killed with CDJ's last autumn, was a party for exchange students at our university,
where the emphasis would be on music around the world (read=not sung in English).
Nice idea, eh?

The guy who promoted the night, a student in my alumni, wanted that I'd play more R&B/Hip-Hop/"laid-back" in downstairs, while his german DJ-friend played some techno/electro/trance upstairs (where I, as I said, packed the floor last time).
He suggested before the event that the ratio of English/other languages would be 50/50,
said: "OK, I'll try, but won't guarantee it."

After some sound issues, I started.
Fifteen minutes after start:

Girl: Is this some world-music night?

Me: Yes. Didn't you see the posters? (Hard to miss, even for a blind person.)

Girl: Well, this sucks. I'm from Vantaa (equivalent to saying to an American DJ, that you're from NYC or LA, read= I'm richer and better than you), on my friends birthday, and I wanna party! Play some top40 stuff!

Me: OK, how about Low? (were on the early steps of becoming conquered by that.)

Girl: No, that's like a year old (???), I want something newer, play Rihanna's "Please Don't Stop the Music" (?!?).

Procedeed to play that in a blend, floor starts packing, then some Daft Punk, Stardust, few house tracks with Latin flavor, then Pitbull's Fuego remix.
Right after that, dancefloor half full:

Trio of Latin girls: SHAKIIIRAA! Play some SHAAAKIIRAAA!

Me: Don't have it (using search library function, showing that I really don't have it).

Trio: PLAY SOME LATIN MUSIIIIC!!!

Me: (Pointing to the speakers, in the middle of Don Omar's verse) LISTEN!

Trio: .......... (Running to the floor)

01.30
In the middle of 90's Rap/R&B set, playing Mariah's "Fantasy", Gin&Juice, California Love, French Rap, etc.

Girl: Play Basshunter's "Boten Anna"!

Me: No.

Girl: Why not? This is international party, the Swedes would like to hear that!

Me: NO! I won't play it, cos I hate it, and it's played out, and it will kill the floor.
(For those of you unfamiliar, its the Europe equivalet of Soulja Boy : www.youtube.com view)

01.45

The Girl returns, with friends:

Dynamic Duo: Now listen, we paid to get in (lowly 2€), and we WANT to hear Boten Anna!
Why don't you play it?

Me: I hate it, its played out, and I wouldn't play it for a million euros!

DD are really taken back, their reaction being, like I'd just said really blasphemic.
Then they heat up, start to argue, one of them bumps the needle,SKREEEEEECH!, crowd looks at me, I point to DD, bouncers throw them out, problem solved.

At 02.00, in the middle of D&B-set, Tarantula is playing, floor on fire,
German dude comes up to me:

GD: Hi! I'm a DJ in Germany and you're very good, but you should play (not: could you play) Nothing Else Matters.

Me: If I'd have it I wouldn't play it right now.

GD: Well, play something up-beat then. (Pendulum's "Tarantula" not up-beat enough?)

At the end of the night, when I'm lugging my stuff out, I see the German DJ who played upstairs, to a crowd of 5-15, according to my girlfriend who was there three times.
He and the promoter (who, by the way is a very mediocre backpack-deskdrawer-rapper), are heading home. "Promoter" asks: "What did you do back there? Weren't supposed to play international stuff?"

I could see, that he was disappointed, but my set was pure cross-genre FIRE, and I did drop non-english tunes where ever possible.
But I talked to the ticket vendors, and we had sold some 500+ tickets, on a Thursday night.
And the drink sales must have been quite good to the club itself. We even had some customers, who were a part of the start-up crew of a huge cruise ship, really enjoyed themselves.
One of them even tipped me,when I dropped Pitbull's "Get Freaky".

I'm just tired of all these jealous haters, wannabe DJs and dumb douches who really believe that every motherfucking request they make will get played INSTANTLY, just because they paid to get in.

I suppose these same dimwits go to Avril's gigs and ask her to play some Beatles and Slayer?

there is latin people in Finland?

frost-9 8:12 PM 11 April 2008

that Boten Anna youtube vid is probably the funniest thing I've seen all week...

I mean.... it's a trance song about an IRC bot named "Anna" --- and she'll ban you... she'll ban you so hard.... LMFAO

I listened to that boten anna song...wow. That's all i have to say.

I see an old Denon 2500F dualie, which was originally released in 1996.

DJ ST 9:35 AM 12 April 2008

^Yes, there are Latin people in Finland. And this was a party for exchange students...

Boten Anna is the newborn of the "Most Horrific Tunes Ever"-family.
I mean its so horrific, that its not even corny enough, that'll I'd listen to it,
let alone play it. Lots of Eurodance, especially from the 90's is bad, but corny and stupid enough to get played as "a novelty", if you know what I mean. Like Snap "I Got The Power",
Scooter "Fire" and other songs that were "cool" when you were 10-15 years old.

And yes, Scandinavia and Germany are notable in a way that we have produced lots of bubblegum-poppy-so-catchy-that-they-haunt-you -pop songs. Anyone remembers E-Type?
"Angels Crying" anyone?www.youtube.com view
Or Ice MC? www.youtube.com view

And all you, who are from USA or UK, now you can join the Basshunter-family, by playing this:
www.youtube.com view
Or check out the guy's "talent":
www.youtube.com view

You see a pattern emerging?
And I think that the comparison to T-Pain is unfair. Teddy Penderazdoun is able to sing, rap and produce, and although he is on everyone's track, he has talent, unlike this douche with FruityLoops.

BUT. Back to topic. This happened a loooong ago, to another Finnish DJ, who has already retired. He was playing rap, KRS, Public Enemy etc at a club. This one guy walks to him, asks if he has a record by this Finnish Rock band.

The DJ says: "Yeah", then picks up the vinyl from his crate and breaks it in half.
Then he asks: "Which half do you want?"

Classic.

I got inspired by that at the end of last year. When I was DJing for my old High School's party (I'm not THAT old, my lil' sister is a senior, and C.R.E.A.M.=150€ for a 4 hour set), they asked for Umbrella. I played it for the chorus, over half of the crowd moaning, other half cheering slightly. At the end of the chorus, I dragged the needle across the record, then smashed it on the side of the table.

People stared amazed for a second, then more cheers.

Then I played the phrase: "Maaan, that was PLAYED OUT! Get out of here with that trash!"
Then scratching into "Like I Love You" (I know its played out too, but beats Umbrella 24/7/365) and they went nuts.

latinblood2k1 1:52 PM 12 April 2008

what language is he singing? Boten ana is the translation for "now your gone? or I`m guessing its the other way around? either way the song is pretty good if u listen to it in english I wouldn`t be surprised if it catches up here my girls went nuts when I first got them in to it so yea its bound to catch up lol

omiiiiii 3:25 PM 12 April 2008

i usually respond to any requests for rnb and hiphop (especially commercial mainstream b/s) by telling whoevers requesting it to repeat the following sentence several times in order for me to consider playing it:

"RnB and Hip/Hop is the lowest form of music known to man"

i figure just making them repeat it a few times i might be programming their subconscious or something

DJ ST 7:34 PM 12 April 2008

Swedish. The songs are in Swedish. Boten Anna stands for Bot Anna.
And since IRC isnät prolly as popular in rest of the Europe, as it is in the rest of the world, they had to come up with new topic/lyrics.

And yes, Scandinavian women are generally hot. DUH!

"isn't" and I meant that IRC is popular in Sweden and in Finland, but I don't know about the rest of the world...

Just print out a A4 poster with the following;

Song suggestions; $2.00

Song requests; $10.00

it's perfect, seriously, idiot's cant argue with a sign, you just point to it, they keep saying play 'this' or 'that'.

Just point to the sign and hold out your hand.

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:

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 :)

Girl - you know Simon and Garfunkel
Me - ya, think I've heard of them
Girl - will you play that song they have?
Me - which one?
Girl - if you call me Betty.

then she started singing it with the lyrics all mashed around. well it was funny at the time...

This happen friday night:

DJ jSon was on the tables and these two chicks come up to him demanding that he played "boots with the fur and apple bottom jeans" LOL. he said : "its too early". They come back 2 minutes later and demanded it again asking for "boots with the fur". And they continue to harass him.

Then for the 10th time they come back and this time they come up to me. Im sitting on the side of the DJ booth checking my email and chatting with the people in Global DJ Sessions on stickam and they demand that I play it "now". I look up at them and said "im sorry did you say something"

chick: "I want you to play boots with the fur NOW, i've been waiting all night."

me: "who are you talking to, me or Him *points to jSon".

chicks: "you, you fucking dumb ass".

Me: "Bitch look where I am, does it fucking look like Im in the damn DJ booth? Whos the 'fucking dumb ass' now? Fuck off".

Releaux 7:56 PM 22 April 2008

Given how many people on this board have studio production capabilities, I think we should write a song called "Apple Bottom Jeans (Boots With The Fur)." It should sound like a cross between Liberace and Sinatra. Announce and point out who requested it, play 15 seconds, then go back to your regularly scheduled program.

SloDeck 5:46 PM 4 May 2008

Been a while since the crowds have picked up new ways to annoy me, but...

Got the "It's my birthday, play me a song"
Me: Yeah, what you after?
Her: Something I can dance too
Me: Like?
Her: Track 15 of dance now 2000
Me: Nah, I need artist and song names
Her: How about if me and my friend hook up (Friend was bangin'!)
Me: How bout me and your friend hook up, nah, I need artists and names sweetheart
Her: We will both go home with you tonight and take turns sucking your c*%k if you play dance now 2000 track 15 next
me: heard it before mate, are you retarded, I need artist and song names
Her OK (Walks away)

10 mins later.
Her: here is dance now 2000, play track 15 and we will both go home with you tonight. Here's my cellphone (Not her number, her whole phone) as insurance.

Figured this would be a cool story even if I got no play. I mean I had to tell her 3 times I needed the song name. And she tried several tricks to get it. So I play her song on the spare CDJ, DJ Sammy heaven or something along those lines. Didn't see her or her hot friend for the rest of the night. At the end of the night gave the phone to the manager thinking she would come in and claim it the next day. Wrote it off as another chick trying to trick me into playing her song.

Bar manager called me about 3 in the afternoon, "Dude, thank fuck you didn't go home with the chick that left her phone with you. It rang not long ago, it was the clinic, her results are in, They wouldn't tell me the results, I'm only guessing, but it's safe to say the results arn't good".

Me: Again, are you serious?

Asian dude with a thick accent comes up to me. (i think some asian people talk soooo quiet, i wonder how they can even talk to eachother in clubs)

so i notice his mouth was moving a little bit so i give him the one second finger... looks pissed, keeps talking,

me: points to me ear, I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!! GIVE ME A SECOND!!!

round 10 pm some dude holding a wall up comes up to me and asks me to play juicy i give him the thumbs up and he's on his way. 20 mins goes buy he throws his arms up like where the hell is my song, i flash the 1 sec finger and get back to the mix...well he keeps doing this and i keep telling him to wait....fast forward to midnight, hes moved from the wall to about 10 feet from the booth, i see him talking to two cuties and dont think much of it, a few mins later one of the girls comes up and asks for juicy, i'm like what did that dude ask for it she says ya laughs and walks off, i get on the mic..." yo if you request a song, sending a hot girl over to ask for the same song isnt going to get it played any faster"...dude runs over "wow how did you know i told her to ask for that".....im a genius guy!

finally played is song as the last song of the night haha

Yesterday night bunch of teens in front dancing infront of the booth

chick- hey can you put lollipop?
me- Ok ill put it on later
chick- no put it now
me- why?
chick- cuz i love that song, oh and dont play the original do a remix with the
"chi gi gi ya"(pointed at the turntables and move her hands as if she was scratching while making the scratching sound)(then walk off)
me- (stare at her ass and boobies the whole time)

Dj Nicholas 8:30 PM 17 May 2008

Here's a story for you all, a couple weeks ago I had 2 girls come up to me and requested lollipop around 1:30. The lounge I play at is mostly uptempo stuff (commercial house, top 40, i usually dont go into the 95bpm and lower range). So I said ok and being that I was at around 130 bpm I figured id play one of the lollipop remixes that I had. Apparently that wasnt good enough because one of the girls came up to me 5 minutes later:
Her-"can you play lollipop?"
Me-"yeah I just played it."
Her-"no, you played the remix, I want to hear the original."
Me-"well I already played it"
So they proceeded to ask why I dont repeat songs and such, went on to ask "if the owner said its ok to play it then can you?" which I replied that they can ask him but I wont play it anyway (calling her bluff). Whether or not they asked him they came up and told me, "he said that if you dont play it your not getting paid." In which I immediately said back to them, "well it looks like im playing for free tonight."
So the night ends and the owner comes up to me and gives me a look like hes sorry I had to deal with such bullshit. The girl comes up AGAIN and asks me the SAME questions. After I tell her to go in her car and turn on the radio, she'll find that song on every station, she pulls a 180 and says the request was actually for her friend and not her, she doesnt even like the song. WTF? Proceeds then to apologize and try and pull me in for a kiss in front of my girlfriend (by the way I didnt). Crazy drunk women.

Haha, last night at Saddle Ranch...all night long literally the only song that was requested was Lollipop.

When I finally played it, I got on the mic and I said, "I'd like to thank all the people who came up here and requested this song over and over again...I'm such an incompetant DJ taht had you guys not told me, I would never have thought to play it. Thanks to you for making me job easy!

The crowd started cheering and laughing...it was great.

Hawk 1:06 AM 20 May 2008

At a gig last Friday night, I had way, way too many people yapping at me. It was a light gig at an art gallery and everybody that came in just had to know everything about either a) Serato ScratchLIVE and the whole freaky laptop-turntable thingy, b) How I've been doing, in great detail, c) How they've been doing in excruciating detail, or d) am I the person that gives them the free gift as part of the "gallery hop' in the city that evening.

I'm quick mixing people. 45 seconds per song give or take. Please keep your monologues to under 20 minutes while I'm mixing. I'm not even looking at you.

Jesus.

Last Friday night at the gig.... I actually got a lot of stupid requests that night but I'll just list this one..*During uptempo Hip Hop/House set*

Older Lady: "Hi, my friend over there say's she's gonna leave if you don't play either Prince, Kiss, or Abba"

Me: "Oh really, where is your friend?"

Lady: "She's right over there" *pointing to the bar at gal friend sitting smiling waving*

Me: "Make sure you tell her goodbye for me"

Even she thought that was funny...

this one got me giggling in my cube :)

SloDeck 3:40 PM 22 May 2008

It's not really along the lines of the usual in this thread, but I had to share it.
Playing a lil Bmore, not a huge floor, but it's only 11ish...

Young girl, no older than 19 I swear, walks up to the side of the booth, I look over, hold up my finger, "Just a min" she smiles and says "take your time, no rush" Drop my next track in...

Me: What can I do for you?
Her: Hi, I know you get this all night, and I'm sure you get sick of it, but is there any chance you could squeeze a request in at some point before close.
Me: Yea sure, If I have it and can mix my way round to it, What are you after?
Her: It's a long shot, and I don't actually know that name of the song, but I do know it's by Digable Planets, I think it's called Cool like that? Me and some of the girls were talking earlier and we haven't heard it for years
Me: Rebirth of Slick, Digable Planets, YEAH. HELL YEAH
Her: You know it, Great! If you can possibly fit that in sometime tonight me and that table over there will be most thankful. I can't garentee all of us will dance, but we would love to hear it.

I break outta mixing and drop it in next. Most of the table get up and dance, Afterwards I throw in Let's get naked - HPM, and Mr wendel and the same girl comes up to the booth. Here we go, I think, I'm gonna get bombarded with requests now that I played 1.

Her: Thankyou so much, this is another song we were talking about earler (Talking bout Highland Place Mobsters), All the girls at our table would like to buy you a drink, what do you drink?
Me: Oh, Cheers, thanks, A Pure Blonde would be great.

She disapears and comes back 5mins later with 4 Beers for me.

Me: Woah, thanks, you didn't have to get me 4
Her: Nah I said all the girls at our table wanted to buy you a drink, there is 4 of us over there. And you really made our night.

Rest of the night I dropped some more New Jack swing type stuff, played KRS-1 Get Wrecked, Ultramagnetic MCs - Give the Drummer some etc. At the end of the night as I made last call, the same girl comes up again.

Her: Hey, thanks for the great night, awesome music, What was your name?
Me: SloDeck, but Dave is fine.
Her: Cool, Thanks SloDeck. Great Job.

I know it's not 1 of the most retarded convosations in here, but it was cool to have someone a) thank me for my job, b) not be a total muppet, c) be into some cool music. Makes all the stupids seem worth it.

Or worse they come over & scream in your ear! & spit on you while doing so!

Damn thats gross!

DJ-A 3:05 PM 23 May 2008

definately an attention grabber though when you have a hott chick wrap her arms around you and talk nicely in your ear...

last week i was giggin and i see someone out of the corner of my eye... I assume its a chick because they are just standing there, and about 8 inches to my left and in back of me a little.

I turn (hoping to see boobs... and see a dude... not cool... he says "hey man, can you play something chill like some reggae.

dont people know there are invisable zones around people and those zones determine an appropiate distance to be away from someone. dudes can get 4-5 feet away from me if i'm not paying attention and i'll be cool with it...

unless you are a hott chick dont get any closer without warning and still 8 inches is way to close!

SloDeck 2:50 AM 28 May 2008

Reminds me of the "Oh me and some friends had a band when we were in high school, used to play alot of school dances. Lotsa blues, you like the blues?" Which turns into what apears to be a job interview for RadioShack or stereo depo sales "I see this is a direct drive turntable... (10 mins later) .. Shure bros made some good cartridges, they still in business? So you think a mac is better than a normal PC? your using a mac?

Soo, ex of mine gives me a call last week, She's always worked in hospo, has just changed jobs working a different venue, They are looking for a DJ, she mentioned she knew me, and that I might know someone if I can't help out myself. Frankly all they are going to get is a reheated iPod for what they are offering. So this week she calls and asks me if I can teach her how to work VDJ because she's managed to talk herself up and thinks she can do the job with a laptop and a numark mixer. Oh and she asked me if she can "Come over with some blank CD's some time"...

"What? WTF? 10Mill sperm and your the one that made it? I actually thought better of you than this, you just unknowingly devalued what I do to make ends meet twofold. You undercut to an alarming rate, and then assumed any mofo with the music could step up and do the job, Thus devaluing me in 2 ways, so $50 a night and any mofo could do the job? That's ironic, cus when we were together your skills were only worth 50bux a night and anyone could do that job too"

I'm temped to turn up on her first night "Spinning" just to help stress her out, is that childish? meh, I prolly won't I will be busy doing my own gig but the thought of it does make me smile

DJ/MC/CEO 7:02 AM 28 May 2008

Alright here it goes...

Was DJing an afterball one night and these boosed school girls kept hassling me to play a track:

Girls: They'll love it!
Me: I just said that
Girls They'll really love it!
Me: Look forward to when i play it then!
Girls: They'll really really love it!

*At this point i get scared so i politely continue DJing*

Girls: Are you gunna play it?
Me: Sure am, as soon as I find an entry to do it justice
Girls: WILL YOU JUST PHUKKIN PLAY IT!!! (Out of no where!!!)
Me: Woah! Chill! If you scream at me I wont play it
Girls: PHUK YOUR A SHIT DJ! PHUK YOU!

*Just as she says this the song is fading, instinctivly i pick up the mic*

skinnyguy 10:33 AM 28 May 2008

this might not belong in this thread cuz this happened after the gig but dj/mc/ceo's story kinda reminded me of this.

so i did this house party over the weekend (been ages since i did one) and it's in overtime. at this time, guys are getting to be obnoxious drunks and such and i'm already nearing the time where i have to cut off the music or the girl that's having the party would be past her budget. i announce last song and all the drunks start harassing me, sayin "one more" and all that ish. and u know even if u play that "one more" song, they ask again for "one more"...it never ends..

anyways, i finally cut the music after the song and guys are comin up and harassing me for one more. i keep sayin that it's done and they're all like, "aah, you suck" and "dj clueless" and such. the girl that's payin me makes her way thru the arrogant crowd and asks how much will she owe if i go another half hour (i haven't been paid yet). i tell her it would be $500. one of the main guys grumbling is next to her and hears that and is like, "ooh...shit..." and quiets down. she says, "ok. nevermind then. we'll end it here."

dude's face and reaction was priceless.

What i thought was said -"do you have anything harder??"...i said "dont worry ittl get more harder/banging-er as the night progresses and more folks hit the dancefloor"

reply- "not harder, do you have anything BETTER"....lol

room213 3:40 AM 30 May 2008

I've had that one too "do you have anything better" I normally reply with " nope, everything I have is shitty, hope you have a good night" ;)

DJ/MC/CEO 6:49 AM 30 May 2008

Q: Do you have anything better?

One person who works at our local Mcdonalds hassled me one night so I went to his work and done the same - he understod in the end.

With hardy ^^^ but I would throw a remix on...

bourbonstmc 8:03 PM 30 May 2008

Since U Been Gone" topped several U.S. Billboard charts, including the Pop 100, Hot Dance Airplay and the Mainstream Top 40. It peaked at number two on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and stayed in the top ten for 20 weeks, in the top forty for 43 weeks and on the chart for forty-six weeks...

...The Jason Nevins "Since U Been Gone" remixes have sold over 180,000 digital downloads...

en.wikipedia.org

djtripp 9:11 PM 30 May 2008

Don't forget the DJ Earworm mash-up "Since U Been Gahan" Kelly VS Depeche Mode actually ended up with some airplay!

On Topic: Last night...

Three girls requested the same song, 5 TIMES! In 1/2 an hour...it's 80's night, and they request Yeah by Usher...wow...I wish I had a gun.

skinnyguy 2:21 AM 31 May 2008

i bet those 3 girls are all friends...

djtripp 2:54 AM 31 May 2008

yeah, they were, just stupid...

DJ/MC/CEO 9:52 AM 1 June 2008

I Djd a club lastnight and this girl thought she had some sort of power over me cos she knows my friend.

I told her "If you request a song more than 5 times I won't play it". If I kept to it she wouldve done away with %80 of that chart bullshit due to her consistent nagging.

I then had her thrown out.

Then played all the songs in a row as she was forced to listen from outdoors.

Wasn't there to fuck around that night.

I HATE hearing ppl requesting Cumbias!!!

Yes I'm hispanic, but I just don't like playing it. I don't listen to it so I will not play it. Sure when you do a mobile gig it's all about what the ppl want to here, but when I book then I make sure I let the person know I don't play cumbias or reggaton.

2. I was setting up and plugin my system,so i plug in my ipod to have atleast some sound running,plus it was helping me test the set up(top 40/mainstreem)stuff that people know.. This guy came in and told me

guy: "it seems like you dont play this type of music" (i guess because i was hispanic,since thats the way i felt he ask me)
Me:what??i specialize in this type of music (laugh a little/suprise he told me that)
guy: naww man you have to play something with base, something with rhytim
me: dude im just testing out the system,ill put something better as soon as i set up.

tough night (i hate mobile)

I HATE hearing ppl requesting Cumbias!!!

Yes I'm hispanic, but I just don't like playing it. I don't listen to it so I will not play it. Sure when you do a mobile gig it's all about what the ppl want to here, but when I book then I make sure I let the person know I don't play cumbias or reggaton.

no, its not that. I can lay you cumbias in a second, i just felt kind of attack since the people where white, i guess they were just trying to point out that im hispanic

I sort of fell you there. ppl think all I know is "Latin" music given my skin color. I've even had good friends (white and black) tell me after hearing me play say stuff like "Oh, I thought all you played was "mexican" music".

not to be racist or anything, but thats why i rather do mexican party's,like 15's and weddings..they show me a bunch of love and no matter what song (anything dance-able or thats hot) they would jam to it. Ive had other latin gigs that dont compare to a mexican gig

DJ_Motion 2:27 AM 2 June 2008

I hate when another "so he said dj" requests something that (my dougie) doesn't fit with the music that is being played (planet 808 owner of a lonely heart) and then asks if i can drop it after the next song... ARE YOU SERIOUS! I just got into the 125-130 range... dumbass...

i get that a lot, they ask me for some country then lollipop come on. I understand a little since they have no idea how a DJ runs, they think we are just a jukebox/ipod. Im a DJ that mixes and keeps a steady flow (like i said before everything is dance-able) just because its new or havent herd it yet doesnt mean you cant dance to it. It makes me want to stop the music and explain in detailed how a DJ runs.

djchope 2:34 AM 2 June 2008

if you want a dj to play only your request, i would kindly escort you to a
$10 an hour Ipod dj in the yellow pages.

I think im pretty lucky in my howmetown, people usually get down to the new stuff and come afterwarsd and ask what it was - so its good to see an interest and helps you know what they respon to

DJ Young Herrera 2:19 PM 5 June 2008

That track is sooo old.

sG 6:09 PM 5 June 2008

I hate when people assume you don't know a style of music. I was rocking the beginning of a New Jack Swing set and this dude was giving me a thizz face saying how I "don't know any of this music" and that I'm too young to understand. So I rocked it out some more and he just kept hating. Maybe all the ladies in the club shut him down prior?

DJ Stuart (AR) 8:09 AM 6 June 2008

Church is old as fu*k. Its 160 BPM, you can mix it with something around 80 BPM. Just remember that the outro bars will we divided in half or the other way around.
Or...you can mix it with Outkast "Hey ya" or "B.O.B."

Cheerio.

Caramac 10:12 AM 6 June 2008

Lol. I'm not the biggest Outkast fan. I only really fuck with their first album. Although that Royal Flush tune with Raekwon is growing on me.

But really that Church tune is just too fast. I know I can mix it with tunes on the half BPM scale but I'm not really into that either. It's one of those songs geared to be mixed in with pop music as opposed to an rnb set.

That and I don't like it either.

Lol. I'm getting old I guess. I'm waiting for the 90bpm faze to come back round again.

DJ Young Herrera 1:43 PM 6 June 2008

i love the 90 bpm era!

DJ-A 4:28 PM 6 June 2008

I think i DJ at 2 speeds... 90-103 a few around 115 and 125-130 outside that it is hard to keep my interest.

jnovakane 7:17 PM 6 June 2008

how about the 60-80 range? i usually have to be tipsy to tolerate that slow tempo

bourbonstmc 7:28 PM 6 June 2008

If you got a real ghetto crowd or even ghetto-wannabe crowd that knows how to bounce, low BPM shit can get 'em hype. Otherwise, even when they beg for that shit, it'll bring the energy level down.

DJ-A 7:42 PM 6 June 2008

^^name a track or 2, i'd like to see exactly what you are talking about

bourbonstmc 7:48 PM 6 June 2008

Low-BPM bangers for a crowd that knows how to bounce: "Pop, Lock & Drop It" "Party Like A Rock Star", etc.

Caramac 2:42 PM 7 June 2008

I love that slow thug BPM shit and 90 up to about 115 ish BPM.

Getting back on topic. Last night I had a pretty good night. All the requests I got were stuff I wanted to hear and when I tried something new the crowd seemed to appreciate it.

(from years back - all below 90 BPM (if I remember right) - but Hype)

It's Going Down - Yung Joc
Snap Your Fingers - Lil Jon
Walk It Out - DJ Unk
White Tee or I Think they Like Me - Dem Fanchise Boyz

even something like Hood Nigga by Gorilla Zoe

You can say that again. Last night I'm in the middle of a house set and some blonde chick comes up and asks me "Can U play Lollipop next?"

MattVo 11:16 PM 8 June 2008

Soo i was playing a "Famalia Party" in the states for this Italian Culture Club, I had little kids, teens, and older women coming up to me asking to play "Cupid Shuffle". Soo im like sure why not. the only version i have is with the Rap in it. Soo i put it on and like a min and half into it some older guy comes up to me and calls me over, also the dance floor is packed with all the little kids in the place and parents all doing the dance or getting taught it.

Me: Can i help you sir
O G: What is this Song
Me: The Cupid Suffle
O G: Why are you playing it
Me: I hade like 10 people request it
O G: No one Requested it
Me: YA, those 5 little girls came up to me each requesting it (as there dancing to it)
O G: I don't belive you no one wants to hear this shit
Me: Sorry sir i just play what they wanted
OG: NO ONE WANTS TO HERE THIS!

And he walks away....... Sooo i got pissed and played Solja Boy after, though i hate that song some 5year old kid requested it, made him happy and the old guy more pissed

Then the rest of the night i played the Macarana, chicked dance. What can i say they paid very good for like a total of 3 hours mixing

i hate people like that... thinks that by being an asshole and using reverse phycology that he can get his way, just like when he was raising his kids (that are now in prison)

It's like yeah dude you're right, they don't want to hear this song... i don't know what i was thinking. i better go turn it off right now, and sorry about the 30 seconds of silence, but i dont want to contaminate my hard drive any longer, so i'm going to delete it too. please explain that to the bride for me.

DJ-A 2:15 PM 9 June 2008

I did a wedding this weekend too... it was funny this chick (in her 20's) walks up to me and says do you have _______ (forgot the name of the song)

I reply "yes"

she says, "I thought you'd have it... some dude told me that you only have songs that the bride gave you..."

hmmmmm... what an idiot...

Caramac 2:24 PM 9 June 2008

Lol.

I had a bit of a moment with one of the regulars on Friday at my residency. Every weekend Fri and Sat she comes and asks for the same tunes in the same order which I play because they're regular tunes that you would play anyway.

Well on Friday I said I'll see what I can do. I was in one of those bored of hearing the same song week in week out moods and decided to play similar stuff just a bit more rarer mixed up with the classics etc. All night she kept hassling me. I'm like aren't you bored of these songs cause I am. She was like no and kept running off and boucing around like a 3 year old.

This is one of those crowds where you literally stick to the script.

On the plus side I've been playing this one Collie Budd tune week in and out. During my 10 min pop reggae set some local asked for the Mamacita tune. I was kind of chuffed with that.

djmassi 2:26 PM 9 June 2008

I got berated by a chick this weekend for about an hour for not having or playing Vanessa Carlton - White Houses in the club....she actually called it "The Bomb"......that one might have to take the cake for me over the last year, although the following night when some girl came up and asked me to shout out her friends birthday. How she did it was ask me to shout out Kara's birthday, I replied, Kara, no problem, she then replied.....Kara......K - A - R - A....she spelled it out for me. What does it matter how the F$%* it's spelled!

DJ-A 6:22 PM 9 June 2008

^^^You'll love this one then.... I did a gig a few months ago.. there were 2 things going on that night. one side of the room was a band, and I was on the other side of the room, so after they were done i started to play... about 6 feet to my left was the sound booth.

so the promoted for the band comes over to me and asks for a mic... i say sorry man, dont have one...

he points to the sound booth and says whats that... i pause and look at him like he's stupid and say, a mic

he says well i asked if you have a mic

i say yeah i head ya... and i said no... that's not my mic.

he says well is it on

i give him a really stupid look and say dude, how the hell am i suppose to know it's not mine!

(if you can't tell i dont like this dude)

he says can you check

so i get the mic, turn the music down and say

onnnnne... twoooooooooooooo
dude has an anowwwwwwnce ----- ment

then i turn it half way down and give him the mic

Kool DJ Sheak One 8:36 PM 9 June 2008

mics and random people=bad idea^^

On Saturday I got these two chicks wanting to hear lollipop by aqua?
Is that the bad rock cover song of the bad rap song?
and swing by Savage?
And then wanted to hear tootsie roll, in a resturant. MMMMM...NO.

jnovakane 9:49 PM 9 June 2008

end of the night last friday ... was playing finer things as the last song. chic comes up ... can you play britney?! was annoyed, but my homie who was dj'ing with me asks the girl for $$ up front. gave me a 20 ... so got on the mic, says next song is the last song, and voila, played about one minute of it.

DJ Slade 1:44 AM 10 June 2008

Another one to add to the destruction of song titles............

Guest: Can you play Clutsy by Fergie

I swear, I want an international bitchslap the customers day!

dj_penguin 8:44 PM 29 June 2008

I got a whole new level of ridiculous request on Friday. I was getting towards the end of my set, people had been rocking out the whole time, things were generally going well. The promoter is standing in the booth next to my right shoulder, and some random dude walks up to the right of him. Random Dude says something to the promoter, and the promoter repeats it to me. I didn't really hear it because it was loud, so I assumed it was just another person coming up to tell me they were enjoying the tunes (there had been a number of people coming up to the booth throughout my set to say that sort of thing), so I absent-mindedly said "thanks" or something along those lines.

Then the promoter said "That's not what he said. He said he just wants to touch you."

Now I'm sure many a rock star has encountered this, and most of them probably have stock responses all ready to go, but I'm kind of freaked out by this request, and completely unprepared for it. I thought about it for a second while staring at the decks and trying to figure out what to do.

Finally, I decide on a course of action. I kind of hide behind the promoter and stick my hand out so Random Freaky Dude can slap me five. He does, and then I go back to mixing. I put on my last track, and then it's the promoter's turn to play, so I pick up one of my CVs to put it away, and then I notice Random Freaky Dude is still standing next to the promoter, so I'm going to have to walk past him in order to put the CV away. As soon as I start walking past him, he sticks his hand out for another "five." I slap him five again, put the CV away, then turn to go back and get my other CV.

Random Freaky Dude is just standing there, sweaty, shirtless, wearing sunglasses, and grinning real big. He puts his hands out wide like he's hoping for a hug.

Shit!

I really don't want a hug from Freaky Dude. Thinking quickly, I grab a business card out of my pocket and hand it to him. He holds it in both hands, stares at it like it's a million dollar bill, and just kind of wanders off basking in the awesomeness of his new prize.

Moral of the story: Always carry your business cards. You never know when they'll come in handy.

DJ Dynamite - NJ 9:09 PM 29 June 2008

dj_penguin 9:28 PM 29 June 2008

Nope, at a cafe that has music of various sorts on weekend nights.

djgeeth 4:51 AM 30 June 2008

Forget the exact conversation but this is the gist of it;

Girl comes in my booth pretty early, like 12:30, and I can tell she is going to be a pain in the ass. She says

"Play Cupid Shuffle". I say ok and dont pay attention to her (wasnt cute)

"Play it next".... I say, no, the floor is packed, and I want to wait a little bit so I dont get a barrage of people who just walk in the club and miss it. I have to play country/rock/line dance songs every once in a while so I generally save the cupid shuffle type shit for after those.

"No, you dont know what you're doing, play it next, then follow it up by a good rap song" (as the floor was packed and I was playing some hiphop)

The rest of her convo to me was basically her telling me how I dont know how to do my job at all, and she was going to teach me by telling me what to play and when to play it. After about 30 seconds of this I said sure Ill play it next, locked the door, then made sure not to play her damn song all night long.

I HATE dumb f*cking customers who try to tell me how to do a job im good at.

frost-9 7:01 AM 30 June 2008

pair of random drunk girls start talking to me last friday.. saying how much they love the music, then one of them starts staring at my laptop and says "Cool DJ setup you have here... that thing is crazy.. what is it? can I scratch? Is this like DJ'S 'R Us?"

kieranj007 9:21 AM 30 June 2008

I had this girl come up to me when i was MIXING and she kept talking blah blah blah, so i said hold on 1 minute i just need to get this song on. Then she said "Im one of the top Djs from up north so i no what your doing" (shittest town in the country and she said it with the most arrogant attitude). So i replied by saying, "well you must be amazing, because if you knew what i was doing you wouldnt be trying to speak".

I then got the next song in and asked what she wanted. She replied saying "could you please apple bottom jeans"? At that point i snapped and said "jump in your car and put im the radio, im sure they will play LOW!"

How dumb are some people, especially a "top dj"

Caramac 9:49 AM 30 June 2008

Lol Penguin. My saturday night was pretty similar to yours.

I'm warming up. It's 10pm and the cheap people are in. You know the ones who get to the club early so they don't have to pay. Well my motto is if you don't pay to get in you can hear something new. Lol. Anyway I'm bubbling I got some dwele, slum village, d angelo, ne yo etc. You know the easy going tunes. Nothing too hype. I'm building the pace up.

This girl comes up after 2 songs and says play Flo Rida. I'm like no worries. I'll play it when it gets a bit more packed. Probably an hour or so. But if there is anything else you want I can drop that now. She starts bawling how she wants to hear it now. She's then like who's this? I;m like Chris Brown. I don't know this one. Play me something I know. Sensing she's going to be like this all night I try and dead the conversation with. If you don't know this song, you're probably not going to know any of the other ones I play. But sit back relax you might here something you might like.

She goes off in a huff. Bare in mind I do this week in week out and the cheap regulars are cool. They come and ask what I'm playing or just relax till midnight when the rest of the punters turn up.

2 songs later and I'm working up to some J Lo, Cool J etc and the Bar Manager comes up and says the group of girls in the corner have complained that I'm putting them to sleep. I'm like wow. Oh I've also got the house dj with me at this point as his room opens at 12. He's laughing, she's trying not to laugh so the bollocking looks genuine and I'm putting on my pretend I'm sorry I'll change up right away massa face. Lol.

2 songs later there are now 5 of them infront and to the side of the booth. The fuck are they gremlins or something. Where did all these others come from. I think they have a pincher manouvre going on. One's asking about the vinyl. The others fluttering her eyelids and another 2 are trying to get into the dj booth. The house dj is about as helpful as a bucket with a hole in it. He thinks its hilarious. I then hear how they only come out every 6 months and the well known stinger line. We're leaving in 30 mins play our song now. Luckily one of the female bouncers comes to my rescue and tells them to leave me alone. The other dj keeps laughing and I tell him I'm sending them to his room when it opens. He stops laughing and I start laughing. Lol.

Then a group of GILFS come in. One of them walks straight up to me and says something. I don't really hear her for 3 reasons. She's got the body of a stacked mid 20's woman. Thick thighs nice breasts, big bum. She's close to about 70 and she has bright pink make up all over her teeth. Add to that she's drunk as fuck and slurring her words all over the place. I make out Jay Z, Hen Party and People Not Dancing. I put on Sunshine and send her packing.

For the next hour these two parties rotate and attack the booth from all angles asking for songs. I'm trying to keep my cool. Smiling, being polite promising them they will hear there songs just not while it's still empty.

One of the Guildford crew comes up and asks for some rare groove. I'm like cool. I can play that but I'll play it near the end. Why? Because no offense love but most people here are 20 ish. If I start busting out some mantronix and loose ends I could lose the floor. She's like so. She then just stands there for about 20 mins. No lie. I put on Foxy's Get You Home tonight as a compromise and she goes off and starts dancing really badly with this tall skinny 18 year old.

As the club starts to pack out a little the other room opens and the young come out twice a year crew go into the other room. Thank fuck. 2 mins later I see one of them in an arm lock being escorted out. The others walk past tell me I'm a shit dj and fuck this club. Lol. Some of the regulars look at me and ask what I've done. Fucked if I know. Lol.

Then the thick gilf comes up to me. I'm bubbling now people are moving and the party has started. Come on man. Play something topical. WTF. Lol. I'm like ok. Give her the 2 thumbs up and smile and carry on as normal.

10 mins later her mate is back. The one wanting the rare groove and asks for some earth wind and fire. I'm like ok but later. She then asks if she's annoying me. I tell her yes a little. She then says you're a shit dj and that's why I'm annoying you. The boucher laughs then tells her to move on.

And the night pretty much continues like this up untill 2am.

The promoter is standing in the booth next to my right shoulder, and some random dude walks up to the right of him. Random Dude says something to the promoter, and the promoter repeats it to me. I didn't really hear it because it was loud, so I assumed it was just another person coming up to tell me they were enjoying the tunes (there had been a number of people coming up to the booth throughout my set to say that sort of thing), so I absent-mindedly said "thanks" or something along those lines.

Then the promoter said "That's not what he said. He said he just wants to touch you."

Now I'm sure many a rock star has encountered this, and most of them probably have stock responses all ready to go, but I'm kind of freaked out by this request, and completely unprepared for it. I thought about it for a second while staring at the decks and trying to figure out what to do.

Finally, I decide on a course of action. I kind of hide behind the promoter and stick my hand out so Random Freaky Dude can slap me five. He does, and then I go back to mixing. I put on my last track, and then it's the promoter's turn to play, so I pick up one of my CVs to put it away, and then I notice Random Freaky Dude is still standing next to the promoter, so I'm going to have to walk past him in order to put the CV away. As soon as I start walking past him, he sticks his hand out for another "five." I slap him five again, put the CV away, then turn to go back and get my other CV.

Random Freaky Dude is just standing there, sweaty, shirtless, wearing sunglasses, and grinning real big. He puts his hands out wide like he's hoping for a hug.

Shit!

I really don't want a hug from Freaky Dude. Thinking quickly, I grab a business card out of my pocket and hand it to him. He holds it in both hands, stares at it like it's a million dollar bill, and just kind of wanders off basking in the awesomeness of his new prize.

Moral of the story: Always carry your business cards. You never know when they'll come in handy.

Yo that Sh*t was funny as hell!!! "Random Freaky Dude"
we see them every week in my city! I feel ya...

Sebtacular 5:17 PM 1 July 2008

I was playing a brand new Kid Sister track and a girl comes up to me and says, "Can you play something more recent?!"

Caramac 7:46 AM 2 July 2008

I had a funny comment last night. It wasn't really a conversation because the woman was drunk and I couldn't get a word in. I was dropping a little rare groove not really quick mixing just 2 verses and done. She comes up wine on her breath and a strong Bajan accent and tells me amongst other things.

''Young Boy. Tunes is like women. You can't (does this scratch noise and air scratches) and then cut it and done. You have to learn to let the music play.''

This was funny. The other 40 times she came up to say something were more annoying.

You DJ so bad, clubbers ask if they can use ur PC to charge their iPod

DJ Nuxx 6:43 PM 3 July 2008

all made by the same person. my response in my head in parentheses.

1. "Oh... you use SERATO?! I'm a house DJ and I use CDJs"
(Great, good for you biatch.. you want a cookie?)

2. "Can you play some Kaskade?"
(um, yeah.. it'll go great with Lil Jon and Paul Wall. Hold on.)

3. "Let me mix in the next song. Please? Come on let me jump in and throw on some good dirty house! Don't worry I'm a DJ from Japan.. I KNOW what i'm doing"
my response, because ignoring her isn't working: "Dude, seriously? NO!"

4. "Hiphop sucks man! Nobody is dancing so just let me DJ ONE SONG. If they don't dance, I will leave you alone"
me: "No one is dancing because it's still happy hour and there are 5 people here. I don't know what kind of DJ you are if you think it's ok to let anyone else, let alone strangers touch your equipment. If you're really a DJ you should know better than to be a pain in the ass when i'm trying to work. I've been here less than 3 minutes. You're going to leave me alone now, or i'm going to have the bouncer escort you out"

5. "Pleeeeeeeaasee?!"
me: BOUNCER!

Yeah, she also waited until I was mixing to talk to me.
I'm generally pretty nice to people. But I had to check this one. Couldn't deal.

razzamataz 7:12 AM 4 July 2008

i had a party about 3 months ago and from the moment i rocked up i knew it was gonna be trouble. When i got there i noticed there was about 5 Darth Vadars and 3 ninjas (a freakin costume party), costume parties do not normally bother me but this one was a 40th. I had 40 yr+ ladies dressed as hookers from the 1920s stumbling over to me asking me to play ABBA!. After the host come over to me and asked if i could play one ABBA track from her CD i reluctantly accepted only to be attacked for the rest of the night to play dancing queen and some track about a man after midnight!!! This one pain in my ass continued to sing me a track to see if i had it, i just ignored her and pumped up the music (it was Keep On Loving You - REO Speedwagon).

$500 was all that stopped me from leavin + some ladies trying to set me up with their daughters.

Caramac 7:39 AM 4 July 2008

Lol. Any nice daughters amongst the bunch?

Caramac 9:27 AM 9 July 2008

Last nights gems were.

Some random drunk bloke...

''You think you're hot shit on the decks. You're good but you can improve''

Shook my hand then stumbled off to stare at some girls chest.

and these young girls.

~You playing any Bashment?
~Nah it's just a hip hop night tonight but I can play some at this venue on friday you should come down.
~Ok. So what can you play?
~Anything hip hop. What do you want to hear?
~I don't know. What do you want to see us dance to?
~I'd like to see you dance to some hip hop...

Lol.

Oh and then some woman came up asking for some proper cheesy rubbish. I was like I can drop it for you when it packs out some more. She kept realing off a list of your typical rnb/rap top 40 and then when she saw it wasn't happening any time soon she asks for Gangstarr - Full Clip and You Know My Steez?!?!

DjFiasCo 2:54 PM 10 July 2008

When some chick makes a request, I say: 'Sure! if I first may tickle you!'
Most of them put very strange faces on and just leave. Others find it funny and only now and then you have girls that really allowing it! So of course I have to play their songs, so be careful when you use this trick ;)

not exactly song requests...but I think these qualify:

customer: can i put my purse/coat/etc. back here??? (in the dj booth)

me: it's $20 and I'm not responsible for it if anything happens.

or...

customer: can i sit here (where security sits, next to the booth)

me: no, that's for security.

customer: well they aren't here now!

me: (thinks,"well then why did you ask me?")

then the girl proceeds to take her shoes off and puts her feet up on the booth about 2 feet from me.

me: please don't do that.

then she gets up, walks around the club barefoot (there's broken glass bottles on the floor and the club is packed)

Caramac 3:36 PM 17 July 2008

Fuck em. Let her get her foot cut up. Like my mum used to say. If you can't hear you must feel.

But my best comment wasn't even at a club. I was showing a guy at work some photos of the previous nights party I played and his comment on seeing this one girl was....

''I'd really love to give her a hug''

Girl : Hi I'm Canadian and I can't dance to any of this, could you play some Canadian bands
Me: Erm, I'll have a look and see what I have.

Now, this isn't the first time this has happened over the years, it happend maybe once or twice a year, why is it only Canadians who do this? Can someone tell what it's all aboot ;)

have this ever happened to you?

I had a lady come up to me and asked me to please lower volume because she is having to scream to talk to her friends. I laugh because I thought she was playing but then she gave me the attitude. I told her that this is a club and people come here to dance and listen to music, not to talk. That if she wanted to talk to can go to the lounge. Then she asked to speak to the manager about this.... Stupid.... Later she came by and pulls out like three $20 bills and said, and I was going to give you a tip..... LOL

That shit was hilarious

As for requests. I've not had much out of the ordinary. A few weeks ago some woman asked me to play a song for her friend.

Cool what song would she like?
It's her birthday.
Cool What's her name how old is she and what song would she like?
What have you got?
Over 10k's worth.
Well play what you want.
Er ok.

Have you played her song yet?
Nah what did she want again?
What ever you want to play.
Ok her birthday song is now War Zone by Blackmoon. Tell her happy birthday from me.

DJ-A 8:45 PM 17 August 2008

This is my the best i've had in a long time... not ridiculous but funny

I was doing a gig at a club last night, and i was on the patio. it was great, out of the club smell/humidity/stuff... and out in the nice summer weather...

anyways, heres the funniest conversation....

Dude! you're awesome!!

Thanks

next time you do a gig out here like this you should have them move all the patio furniture...

what do you mean

the tables and chairs out here

ok, i got ya... what do you recommend?

shit... put them inside on the dance floor you kick ass, everyone is out here dancing anyways

dunkle 9:53 PM 25 August 2008

Yeah, so I was doing a gig at this spot downtown a couple of weeks ago. Girl and what I assume to be her boyfriend walk straight up to me and dude is all "What's the format tonight?" I tell him it's pretty much open and we play what we like. No boundaries, just keep the staff and us entertained. Kinda block party shit, you know. Classic rock, electro, french house, new wave, punk, garage rock, freestyle, funk, 80's, hip hop, breaks, just whatever. Just so it flows and no train wrecks. So dude says cool and walks away. Girl on the other hand looks me square in the eyes and says "This song sucks". (Electric Avenue) And I tell her "If you don't like this one then you're gonna hate the next one". (Your Kiss Is On My List) I went back to work and ignored her death stare. I figured they were ghost after that encounter. But when the lights came on about an hour and half later, he and her were still there. All smiles. Dude came over and said thanks for the good time. I guess she liked the one after next.

Caramac 1:45 PM 28 August 2008

It was bank holiday weekend this last weekend and I had a few more random conversations than normal.

9.30 doors are opened. I'm playing some new warm up tunes.

Can you play something more danceable.
Yeah what do you want to hear?
That new Ne Yo tune?
Which one? (because new to me is unknown to a punter usually)
The dancey one.
(I normally play dumb but wasn't in the mood)
Closer?
Yeah that's the one. Play it next.
Nah not next but it'll definitely get played tonight.
Why not?
Because it's a big tune that everyone wants to hear so for best effect I play it when the room is full.
When's that?
About 12ish.
I'm going to complain to the manager.
Lol. He's standing there. Go tell him and when he comes over I'll tell him no as well.
He'll sack you.
No he won't.
You're hired to play what I say?
Lol Nah I'm hired because I'm good and I know what I'm doing. You can hear the tune but later.
I have big boobs.
Lol. I've seen boobs before.
As nice as these.
(the real answer was plenty and better you fat slag) Nah I won't lie they are nice.
So you going to play my tune then?
Yeah but not now.
I'll go complain.
Be my guest.

Then later that night some other girls.

Can you play How Deep Is Your Love by Dru Hill?
(I hadn't heard this tune in ages and thought) Yeah no probs.

Put the tune on next as it mixed in with what I was playing thought nothing more of it.

About 10 mins later this other girl who was with them came over..

So do you like my mate then?
(Looked at her friend) She's alright
Well you must do because I ask you for Dru Hill every week and you say no and she asks the 1st time she's here and you play it for her. Why?!?!

I was confused and could see a woman argument coming that no man could win. Lol.

Groove45 7:51 PM 28 August 2008

The dumbest situation I recently experience at the club was this woman asked me to play reggae. I responded "sure I can!" She receaches into her pocket to tip me and pulls out a $5 bill. Im thinking, ok cool. whatever!! Then she hands me the bill and ask for $3's back. WTF... I threw the bill back at her and told her to keep. If your going tip a DJ don't ask for change!! That's rude..

Another situation the same nite! I'm in the middle of mixxing. This girl was waving her hands at me. I thought she wanted a request. The bitch asked me if I had change for a $20!! Do I look like I have a cash register. Huh! Yea, Let me push the cash out button on my laptop. Dumb Bitch no#2.

Never Heard of them" I didnt have any "Change", we were so confused, first time this happens to me, so we just sent the girl back and forth between to two of us telling her "Ask him (pointing to the other guy), he has all types of that shit."

The conversation goes like this:

girl: can you play some Spanish music like salsa or merenge?
me: um.. this really isn't that kind of place.
girl: what about some reggaeton?
me: nope, sorry.
girl: (defeated) -- what about Shakira?

Me: I just played some south music. I'll hit the south in a minute.
Girl: But i'm from the ATL PLEEEEEASE.
Me: (Grabs the mic and announces to the crowd) "Look everyone ain't from the South, so chill... Trust me i will make sure i hit your Area Code.. (Goes back and drop more East coast flavor just cause) I love my job!

LoL That's a good line... "Trust me i will make sure i hit your Area Code"

as i've confessed before... I live in Utah... which has the 801 area code... there are some local people who like to call themselves "Hip Hop Artists" I call most of their music shit... but that's another discussion...

anyways they always throw up "representin the 801" all i can think of is who the hell even knows where "The 801" is? Sometimes even I forget

A girl walked up while I was mixing with her boy friend..
G: Do you have band XXXX
Me: No
G: You sure?
Me: Yes
G: You didn't check
Me: I've never heard of them before.
G: Fine.... Do you have XXX
Me: No
G: So you have XXXX
Me: No
G: XXXX?
Me: No
G: What about the local band XXXX?
Me: Really no...
G: (REally annoyed at me now) Don't you have ANY FUTURE POP!
Me: Uhhhh what's future pop?
G: (Grabbing for my laptop) Let me see your music real quick!

What made this sepcial in my mind was the fact this was a 14 minute proceeding and somehow she thought it would be all right to grab the system I am mixing on us...

I have also had a patron actually "tattle" on me to a resident because I didn't play the right song from a band she wanted to hear... I didn't have the one she wanted so I played another one from a different CD I did have and she was so upset she went to him and insisted that he have me play the right one.

I had some white guys pretending to play basket ball on the dance floor(they're getn' laid for sure.

Every dance song is not Techno, that's like calling everything else Rap.

I've played an hour strait of Hip Hop & Top 40 and the first dance cut I play some one 100% of thetime will come up and ask if i'm going to play Techno all night?

I was asked "What time does the dancing start"? As if there is a specific time for the people to start dancing.

DJ Anywhere 4:45 AM 18 September 2008

just remembered another one, happened like 2 weeks ago. we got an MC that comes out and raps in between my electronic set and the hip-hop set the other DJ does. He's been rappin with his group for a few weeks now. he KNOWS I only do electronic so I dont cut into my buddy's set. I get a "hey man, can you play some rap???" I told him "YOU KNOW I DONT DO THAT." Fukn idiot.

DJ CISCO 4:25 PM 18 September 2008

Im doing my typical thing at a diverse night at my residency in Chicago. Last hour we usually play nothing but house music even tho we do throw in some spanish here and there but definitely not salsa cuz
1) only myself and maybe 2 people in a 500+ venue are actually gonna dance to it
2) definitely gonna be a floor clearer no matter what salsa song u play.

ME)- spinnin house bangers new and old
girl) - I'm from Miami can u play some salsa NOW (not hot at all!)
me) - I laugh and point at the crowd
MC/DJ friend - um, I dont think hes gonna play it
girl) - if he doesn't play it I'm gonna say Chicago sucks.
ME - grab mic.. Everyone from chicago make some noise...
crowd - screams like crazy
me - if your from Chicago and think Miami sucks, make some noise!
crowd - screams again..
Girl)- walks off in disgust and flips us off..
US) - shrug shoulders, I continue mixing..

Disclaimer: in no way shape or form do we dislike Miami or our Floridian bretheren. But being ugly and from Miami doesn't given you the right to threaten me with lame requests or threats at a venue thats full of people who don't give a sh!t about salsa. And I love salsa, but not more then house! And why are girls from Miami so bossy! Geez if she said it nicely or even looked somewhat hot I would have felt a little sympathy for her.

ND.M 5:12 AM 19 September 2008

(Only if she's hot) Tell her that you'll play 1 or 2 salsa tracks just before closing, switch to int-mode and grab her ;)

frost-9 6:05 AM 19 September 2008

Here's an old sign I had posted up in one of my booths:

REQUEST PRICE LIST

1) Miley Cyrus - See You Again - $250 (She's 15. You're not. Stop watching The Disney Channel.)

2) Any Top 10 song before I'm damn ready to play it - $100*
*($125 for Britney Spears Songs)

3) Asking for ANY of the following before 3:00 AM - $100
- Journey, The Outfield, Bon Jovi, etc.

4) Really bad old "hip-pop" tracks like 'Baby Got Back' - Your ATM card & corresponding PIN

Don't say "Play it next" ... Ever...

ABSOLUTELY NO REQUESTS ACCEPTED AFTER 3:40 AM EVER, EVER, EVER. I DON'T CARE IF IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY, YOU'RE LEAVING FOR EUROPE TOMORROW, OR THAT YOU WILL GET LAID IF I PLAY IT, ETC. ETC.

Ok, something REALLY weird happened!

This weekend I was dj'ng a 20 year wedding party... (not the best and most fun place to play music, but it pays well)

Later the night I was playing some rock music (cause they were nagging my ears off!), a middle aged guy (looks normal to me) comes to me, asking, "you have anything from The Stones?".

Cause I was in the middle of classic rock stuff, I asked him: "Sure! What do you want to hear?"
Then he looked back in panic, thinking something like 'holy shit! he really has them!'
he starts duddling with a lot of 'ummms' 'eeerss'...

I was thinking, 'what is wrong with that guy' and decides to be the nice guy asking him: "satisfaction?" honky tonk?" But he just runs of in terror, doing signs to me as in "nevermind, it's not important"

WTF?!!

I neverknew The Stones were THAT alien! LOL

However, there is a reggae cover of Creep done by Easy Star All Stars that I would have flipped on her.
But yeah, she was trippin.

I had a few Creep covers from other artists.. but not the Easy Star one.. Good lookin out.. I'll look for it.. And nothing against Radiohead, My iPod is loaded with it, and Rabbit in your headlights is like the coolest video I'd saeen in a long time... but you are right about the "ME" Bubble...

That reminds me, at an album release party I did for some unsigned act (?!?) I was in the middle of a heavy dance set (120BPMs +) and a chick runs the old, "Hey can you play 50Cent, I like the way you do it?... like NOW cause I'm about to leave."

I said "Really? like NOW??, in the middle of all this, just rip it off and play what you want??"

she smiled and said yes...

I made her wait, coat in hand for 2 more songs in my same speed range. Then I put on the instrumental to Planet Rock (crowd goes wild...STILL! i love it) she frowns... Then I take the 50cent track, pitch it down, down down.... and hit the 45RPM button and mash away.... she was PISSED... and told me, if 50 was here, he would cut your throat...

I told her... if he was here... I'd cut YOUR throat...

I had a similar deal with an owner here (3 other DJs from my town know about this place and AMF still spins there ocassionally) back in 2004. My first night I worked there, the owner came running to me when I played the first song that wasn't radio hip-hop. I kinda brushed it off and thought "he'll come around". Nope!

I walked out of there the 2nd week in the beginning of the night and said "Good luck with the music, I'm out..."

I agree with Dynamite - tell the owner to fuck off.

Not exactly rocket science there, yes I realize that ultra cheese like Girls Just Wanna Have Fun is going to get cheesy girls to dance around a pile of their discarded handbags, the same way Livin On A Prayer, or Journey will do, I completely understand the plight of the owner. He's probably been listening to that crap for 20 years, so when you work for him, use tracks like that as a last resort, NOT a staple of your set. He owns the place and pays you. Do what he says. You're not being stifled as an "artist" for not being allowed to play a cheesy 80's estrogen anthem.

Regarding the Britney thing, shit dude.. you think that's the first time a guy has bent the rules to make a girl happy? That's just like one of us playing soldier boy half a year ago for a couple hundred bucks. Sure the song is against your religion, but when you're getting something you want in return, it makes all the difference in the world.

You gotta set priorities. It is good if you decide to educate and not to (solely) do what the crowd wants.

I hear what you guys are saying, but lets say for a example you have a large group of girls that are dropping crazy money at the bar and are pretty much just out to have a good time and get smashed (A Bachellerete party) and they request the song, do you think the owner would get mad if you play something on the banned list then? especially if you tell him "The Bachellorete party that's dropping crazy money at your bar requested it" My whole point is that I don't see the point in an owner banning girly songs regardless of how cheesy they might be. I'm also not saying to play cheesy 80's girly songs all night. It's not about solely doing what the crowd wants or making the songs the staple of your set, It's more about having the freedom to play what you want when you want or when the majority of the patrons that are spending money at the venue want it.

We had a bar that I used to play at that wanted to ban dancehall music then they'd complain about the lack of door and bar sales. The owner just didn't seem to grasp that his crowd was like 90% Jamaican/Bajan.

Depends, I would say. Would you piss of your regular customers just for a few ladies who visit the club once in a year?

I think it would depend on how many times he plays the song. If it was a once every few months thing then your regulars aren't going to get pissed or shouldn't get pissed at that. Plus you may get those ladies to come back again if you give them a night to remember.

I dip into some cheesy music like that once in a blue moon. But it'll usually be when the night is slow and there have been fights and the vibe is messed up. I'll just dip into some cheesy music to switch the vibe around.

Who's better equipped to make that decision? The resident DJ or the owner? The DJ is the one who hears first hand from people at the club what they want to hear and what they don't want to hear (techno - anything that sounds like it has a stronger kick than the original in the background).

Again it would depend. I used to have a residency at this one bar that this rasta woman owned and I'll be honest her knowledge of reggae tunes was far greater than mine and would always get good responses from the club goers.

DJBlisk 4:19 PM 8 October 2008

whats the point of owners banning music?

Kool DJ Sheak One 4:39 PM 8 October 2008

The owner should only care about the bottom line, which is bar sales.
But some owners like to hear only a certain type of music, so its good to know what never to play if they are like that.
Although, if the crowd is feeling that new Osama Bin Laden Mixtape, and people are dropping stupid luchi at the bar, then the dj is doing his job..
However, the last two minutes of "Girls just wanna have Fun" is pretty rough to get through.
The last Dj I saw play that, played the whole song, and the crowd was done with it after the 30th "Just wanna, they just wannaaaa"
But if the crowd is lovin it, then roll with that vibe.
Banning songs is lame when the crowd is different on different nights.

Idlemind1999 5:53 PM 8 October 2008

The owner at Ripple in Brooklyn (now closed) told me when I started there 2 years or so ago, "You can play whatever you want as long as as the crowd is feelin' it... but NO NICE'N'Smooth"

I was like... wha???

He said.... I Hate those ^%#@#% Guys...

I usually do stuff like that when I'm flippin the floor anyway so that just lets the regulars know that it's time to get their asses to the bar for some alcoholic refreshments

frost-9 6:24 PM 8 October 2008

Bottom line guys. Owners OWN the place. They pay the bills. If they say NO, the answer is NO. If you think you're some kind of Sara Palin styled "maverick" and you're going to be defiant about playing really really crappy 80's pop cheese for batchelorete parties, by all means go ahead. Shit, if you're gonna stand up to the boss, I'd highly recommend what you're doing is really something you believe in, and you're willing to risk your cash to get your point across.

The owner cares more about the atmosphere and crowd he wants to attract rather than plain bar sales on a single night, I think a lot of you are neglecting to look at the big picture. Yes, banning songs can be an extreme measure, but if I owned a place, I'd certainly consider banning absolute crap like overplayed 80's cheese, Britney, oh.. and reggaeton too. Anything that sounds like nails on a chalkboard to me.. and why not if you own the place ;)

Bottom Line... Owners OWN, Mangager MANAGE and DJs CONTROL the MUSIC and the CROWD. If everyone does what they're supposed to do and nobody steps on anyone elses toes then everyone will be happy and succesful.

I've told a couple owners off myself. I've even gotten on the mic and called the owner out and had the crowd tell the owner "F*@K You" it was funny as hell. After that the owner realized who controlled the crowd and who made him his money

I guess this is where it depends on that delicate balance between money and pride...

I have a 9-5 that I love... and spinning has always been a love as well, and thankfully I dont need it to survive (financially) (Hell , maybe if i DID need it to survive, I would practice more intensely) Any how, I was in a situation where over time, the owner (very nice guy; fair and reasonable) grew sick and took less of a major role in running the place. His partner (only in it for the money and knew very little about the the day to day operations); used to make remarks that, eventually I had to call him on.

Friday night 1145pm or so. Hip hop (flipping back and forth between 90s and today ) crowd is digging it, drinks are flowing, floor is packed.

Straw that broke Idlemind's back...

Clueless Partner: Hey man, can you change the music? its getting a little too "dark" in here and we only have 2 bouncers on...

I got on the mic, and dictated what he said and pointed him out. Then told everyone I was going across the street to the other bar; 3/4 of the floor went with me and so did one of the bartenders.

This was, of course after weeks of double ended jokes singling out just about any group you can think of, belittling staff and patrons alike and just being an over all a*hole.

now if i needed that gig to eat, I suppose I would have had a tougher skin.

Last night I played Mtume-Juicy at this resturant and I'm up on a balcony overlooking my minions.
I see this old lady get up from her table and march up the staircase.
She was coming for me.
I readied my patience for a "can you turn it down" or "can you play Frank Sinatra"
To my suprise, old broad was geeking out on the track, like buggin had to have it.
I told her to get a paper and pen and I would write it down.
She said she had heard it before, and I said it was probably a sample from Biggie or Keysha Cole. But maybe she heard it when the song came out when she was only 40.
Broad was old and feeling the soul.

And then I saw a huge rat run behind me!
Not eating at that spot again!

I've actually had "dark" bouncers tell me to cool it cause it was getting too "dark" in the room.. I'm not sure it's racially charged. I'm all for everyone having a good time, but if a bouncer is getting spooked by people of his same origin.. I mean.. what do you say to that?

Alright, I feel semi responsible. Let's see... what kind of asshole requests did I get last night....

There was the "DOOOOD.. YOU GOT ZOMBIE NATION?"
/blank stare

Got a double tit flash for TI & Rihanna - Live Your Life
/that song will be gone in a month

Request for Robert Miles - Children, which was weird cause I heard it on the radio driving to work.. Still didn't play it.

The cliched "do you have anything we can dance to like.. Nelly - Its Getting Hot In Here?"
/get the fuck away from me.

Girl who MIGHT have been 21: Can you play Miley Cyrus?
Me: no
Girl: why?
Me: She's 15, stop watching the Disney Channel.
Girl: Have you heard her music? It's really good.
Me: that's great. don't have it.
Girl: you need to update your music.. (while I'm playing Chris Brown's Forever)
Me: K. bye.

later in the night same girl --
Girl: what happens if I press this button?
Me: That alerts the bouncer that someone is pissing me off.

Drunk guy: DUDE.. YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD KILL IT RIGHT NOW?
Me: You not yelling in my ear?
Drunk guy: NO DUDE.. PLAY THAT NEW KID ROCK
Me: Your trailer is showing.

and finally.... as I'm putting my laptop in my bag..
Girl: Can we just hear one more song? Please Please Please Please Please?
Me: Sure, what do you want to hear?
Girl: OMG!.. Um... Britney - Break The Ice
Me: how does that one go again?
Girl: (starts singing)
Me: cool.. sounds good. enjoy. /walks out

ME: after the dance music is done I'll switch to something... so maybe..

CC: what about NOW?

ME: Nah cant... you want me to just rip whats playing off and put on what you want??

I drag the needle across the record quick-like and fade to the next dance song. Everyone looks up at me and I point to her. Bouncer comes and escorts her OUT...

not to say im a "bpm nerd" but if your promoter likes you and the bartenders and security are your homies, you can just slam whatever you like. but its just incredible. last night, the owner of my club was chilling, and he threw me some extra paper to spin for another 45, so whatever, but he likes certain kind of music, so im doing that.

some random kept asking for the roots - the seed.

i was like ok cool. ill try, stay-up-homie.

he was cool. his bitch-of-a-girlfriend kept getting snarky, saying shit like, "your music sucks, you are the worst dj i've ever heard in my life"

man, its like 220 (most la clubs close 2am, BIG UPS to the NY homies with the 5-6 hour stretch)

im restless, irritable, and discontent. im gonna knock this bitch out. plus i gotta dj 6-9 then 10-2 all over again tomorrow, so i aint trying to hear this bullshit, god help me.

kid90nz 9:13 PM 12 October 2008

I was playing the Blackalicious after party (had been a freakin awesome night so far), and had two girls from their entourage (not part of the group, just hanging with them) come and ask me for "that new TI and Rihanna track". After trying to explain that I didn't have it, they get all shitty and stand right in front of the DJ booth sending out horrible vibes. A few minutes later one of looks at my gear and says " Oh, you've got Serato, how come you can't play the Rihanna song?"
By now, I'm pretty over these twos attitude, so I tell her that just because I'm using a laptop doesn't mean I have it full of crappy Top40 hits and if they want to hear shit like that they can go to Shooters or The Grumpy Mole (trashy drunk fucktard bars). I'm hear to play local hiphop and if they don't like it they can fuck off.

The saddest thing is, they managed to completely kill the vibe in the room, and it didn't recover even after they left.

This Saturday Night:
Drunk chick with dragon breath:"Do you have any gum?"
Me: "You must have mistaken me for the old lady in the bathroom handing out paper towels"

haha.. reminded me of something last week.

drunk indian chick: would you do the playing of theee "It's Getting Hot In Here?"
me: nope.
drunk indian chick: but why? I ask, you should play
me: for starters, I hate that song, second I don't have it.
drunk indian chick: I will not be leaving until you play the request for me
me: you're drunk and your breath fucking stinks, now get away from me before you get asked to leave

then she insisted that she would not be able to have the conversation she was having if she was drunk. luckily some dude came up wanting a track ID, I tell him "get this bitch out of the way and I'll tell you" (while trying to mix at the same time). Got the next song in and she was gone.

A bitch flipped me off on Saturday night for not playing Plies - Bust It Baby during primetime. She prefaced her request with "you're really a good DJ and stuff, but you need to play the stuff that really gets people dancing". That's never a good way to start a request.

Then I told her to take a look around at the packed floor full of people dancing: www.facebook.com

yeah, my eyes start rolling as well when I hear the words "you're really a good DJ", mostly it doesn't end there :o)

Btw, cool to see that there's other people rocking out on the Ikea Laptop stand :oD
Something I did with mine is, I flipped the top, I mounted it upside down so the edges would stand up, it is perfect to keep your laptop from sliding off for whatever reason that might ever happen.
Cheers!

DJ Young Herrera 1:07 PM 14 October 2008

Evil_banana, That's an excellent idea!

I shoulda bought like four of those things. I don't think they make it anymore.

Evil_banana 2:26 PM 14 October 2008

They still make them, but I think they updated the design or something, went there a couple of weeks ago. The only problem with these things is that they bend very easily. I want to make some laptop stand myself, something that is stable, holds both my Macbook AND KaossPad3 and which I can attach/clamp to my TT-flightcases. And preferrably something that folds for transport (yes, I know, I'm being demanding :o)

Anyway, back on topic. Stupid requests...
A while ago I was spinning at the bar I started out (quite alternative, could hear Tiesto and Britney Spears as well as hardstep DrumnBass and deathmetal, all on the same night, even within the hour :oP)
Around 6 in the morning, a regular who got waaaaaay too drunk (good fella though but REALLY wasted), stumbled up to the booth, pulled out his portable CD-player and tried to hand me the CD and starts mumbling really slow (hardly understandable, guy couldn't even make a full sentence anymore)
HIM: "Number 9... Number 9... Number 9"
ME: "I can't play CD's"
HIM: "Number 9... Number 9... Number 9"
ME: "I repeat, I CAN'T play CD's!!!"
HIM: "Number 9... Number 9..."
ME: "What's the song, perhaps I have it on my laptop"
HIM: "Number 9... Number 9... Number 9"
ME: *eyerolling* snatches the CD, and see it's the Black Album from Metallia which I had with me. So I tell him that I have it with me and that I'm going to play it within a minute and I give him back his CD.
HIM: "Number 9... Number 9... Number 9"
ME: "IN A MINUTE! GODD*MNED!" ... and I put on Nr 9 (Of wolf and man)
...
He stands there wobbling for about a minute, trying not to fall over, no reaction at all, and then suddenly...
HIM: "Number 9... Number 9... Number 9"
ME: "I AM PLAYING THE SONG! IT'S THE SAME SONG!!!! IT'S OF WOLF AND MAN!"
HIM: "Number 9... Number 9... Number 9...Number 9... Number 9... Number 9...Number 9... Number 9... Number 9..." (meanwhile still hovering the CD over my stuff to hand me the CD)
ME: *getting pissed* I pull the CD from his hand again. I slide it underneath my mixer, pretending to load it into a non-existing CD-player and I reposition the needle back to the beginning of the track... As soon as the song starts the guy smiles of happiness and thanks me like 10 times and stumbles his way back to the bar, trips over his own feet, falls flat on his ass, crawls up again and sits his drunken ass on his barstool again trying to headbang.

Normally I wouldn't be this patient and smacked him halfway the "convseration", but it was early in the morning and I knew the guy pretty well. Had some pretty good laughs about it afterwards with the bartender :oD

Lol. I should start telling these idiots that. What about the time when they come up to you pretending they know you well "Hey bud, hows it goin? Wucha got there?" I have a MAC also." Then they try to start a convo with you about technology. I grab the mic and summon security. "we have a problem back here"

Playing at a wedding recently. During peak of the night, dance floor packed....old-ass lady comes up and says can you turn it down we cant hear each other talking! So i say sure and pretend that i am lowering the music and i say is that good and she says yes thank you and walks away! She did this one more time about 15 minutes later and then her and her old-ass group at the table left.

When I was still in Florida, I did a house party for my Chicago people one night, and it was a lot of typical Florida and Georgia people there. I was really playin songs more for people to dance to, such as Ying Yang, Lil Jon, etc.....and this dude came up to me and said "DAMN MAN, YOU NOT PLAYIN NOTHIN FOR THE THUGS!!!! YOU GOTTA PLAY SOMETHIN FOR THE THUGS!!!"

I was like you trippin...y'all "thugs" wanna fight and shoot. I mixed it up and played a few songs that were more on that Jeezy/Gucci Man tip, but only songs that females could dance to. Of course, every time I played anything with energy, they almost started fightin...so at one point, I made an announcement and I HAD TO play some Usher just so they would completely calm down or leave. When they left, I thought all was cool...until a minute later when people started runnin back inside and said "THEY ARE SHOOTIN!!!!" and everybody started hidin inside the house. While everybody else is scared for their lives, I'm scared for my equipment!

Audio1 5:20 PM 17 October 2008

recently, the owner of a small venue asked me to "stop playing rap music. play classic rock" and the entire crowd was into rap/top 40. i stopped the record and yelled "The owner wants to hear classic rock" and I played BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY! The look on the crowd was priceless and the owner pretty much ran out of the venue to hide behind the police officers. Hahah!

Mic Terror 5:38 PM 17 October 2008

Probably not as bad as some of the stories I heard here but a bar maid asked me to Play Baby Got back..I'm like are you kidding me? Somebody else asked me to Play Al Green. I mean I like Al Green but not at a club. The same night, I had some drunk guy give me a $20 dollar tip. I probably shouldn't had taken it, but hey...the economy is bad...Audio1 I had an owner tell me he didn't want me to play rap either (same place) turned out everyone there wanted to hear rap, so I played it anyway...just the clean edits

Idlemind1999 10:33 PM 20 October 2008

Just when I think that I have hit rock bottom with stupidity, someone comes along and lowers the bar more.

This friday past, I was hired to play 2 hrs before a band and 3 hrs after the band. It was a jam for a retiring police officer and most of the crowd were his friends, family and co-workers. To be safe, a week or 2 before, I asked for a list of a few songs that he liked (so i could get and idea where he wanted to head with it) So I got, Rick James, James Brown, Temptations, Stevie Wonder...

So at the gig, I'm playing them all and everything like it... People are dancing and yelling when they hear stuff that that remember...

So an older guy walks up and asks me to play some Indian music. So we know how this would play out in any of the choices that we as DJs could choose... and none of them are good.

So I tell him, ok... give me some time and I will see what i can find. (I know that the band is going on in 10 min)

So he comes back like 2 more times... each time drunker than the last. Finally the band is going on and I turn around to him pointing up at me (the was a short dude) telling me, "Hey! I told you INDIAN MUSIC...I'm Bramin and you have to listen to me..." I had heard the word before.. but i had no clue right then. I told him the band was on and he had to wait. He stumbles off and walks onto the stage right as the band it about to play, "Money Money Money" (You know the one with the funk Bass intro) and he happens to tap the bass player on the shoulder and says something... they all look up at me and I give the "NO WAY!" sign with my hand across my neck and they laugh and start with the Bassline and jam... it turns out he told them that they cant go on unless they are going to play some indian music. Someone lifted him off the stage by his belt loops and carried him outside like a small package.... I spent the rest of the night laughing with the band....

How about when 2 or more girls come up and request a song, but you noticed that they weren't dancing at all .. .. Then when you do play the song, they STILL don't dance?!?

At the spot I used to spin at we had to shut the music off at 1, after that they play videos and the audio can be heard throughout as if we are still playing music.

This one dumb blonde clearly sees me tearing down the gear, one tt put away another one sitting on the table plugged into nothing. She comes up and asks for some song. I don't remember, but I told her,"for you hell yeah I'll play it right away." Very sarcastically.

Still tearing down and 5 minutes later she comes and asks for another song as well, when there is nothing but dust on the table now. I say sure, of course I'll play it.

How dumb are people not to notice that the gear is torn down. Do they only see us as jukeboxes and get to request for free.

I've not had many real dumb requests or comments in ages.

The only one is this one girl who gives me shit each week about hearing the tunes she wants and leaves without fail as soon as the party starts jumping.

Anyway the saturday after Halloween she comes up and gives me the usual shit. When are you going to play my tunes. I'm leaving early etc. I reply when the party packs out you'll have to wait.

Now me and she joke a little so it's no real problem.

She then said you played them last night?
I didn't see you.
I felt like giving you the night off and leaving you to dj uninterupted.
And
You played my songs but you also played some right shit music
Ok. Lol.
So I want to hear just my songs and nothing else

I've about had it with people trying to offer me money to play songs. I don't know, maybe I should just take it and play them, but I'm really not a sellout. Maybe if they didn't demand that it was the next song if they give me money, I'd oblige. But I'm not going to risk making a poor mix so some GUY (that was the best part of it) can hear the new T.I. and Rihanna song because it's his "theme song".

i had some old chinese dude on stage last friday night going nuts.he was only up there trying to get amongst the girls who were already shaking their titaays on stage. so he then thaught he would try and impress them by turning towards me and trying to crank up the gain knobs on the mixer. he had been studying/looking at the mixer for a while trying to figure out which knob he should turn. dude got it right first time! almost blew the damn sound system and everyone in the club was like,, whoa,, wtf just happened to my ears ! i tried to remove his arm from its socket but dude was too fast for me as i was cueing a song at that moment.
security then moved on him,, but he started talking shit to them and they were too pussy to even take him off the stage, so he them stood there looking at me like he wanted to start something, he mouthed something at me and i just gave him the finger and jestured to him to fuck off and go somewhere else.
my set was going great up to that point. it didnt do any damage but it pissed me off and juts killed my vibe. and the fact that security didnt do shit about it just pissed me off even more.
fucking retards

Caramac 12:46 PM 10 November 2008

Lol he was probably a gunman and you were telling him to fuck off.

djaction 2:27 PM 10 November 2008

i had some dude offer me $5 to play the macarena on saturday night. he quickly escalated it to a $100 offer. no f'in way.

ok for $1,000 yeah i'd throw that shit on for 5 seconds.

Caramac 2:34 PM 10 November 2008

$5 for the Macarena. Lol.

Yeah ok.

I've only had a few times where i wanted someone out right then... I didnt wait for security to do anything. I cut the music so everyone looks.. I elther go into ass kicking mode or some big dude has happened to be there and asks if i want him to do something about it so i can get back to DJ'n.

(no misquote)

DJ-A 3:44 PM 10 November 2008

So saturday night there were 2 DJ's I went first for some reason... The other DJ sees me and says to some other dude "WTF? Why is he first??? I should be opening for him."

So with 40 minutes left he comes up to me with a blank look on his face and says, dude, you're going to save some songs for me right?

All I could think was yeah, you should be opening for me... especially if i'm just messing around and you're sweating cause because of all the songs i'm playing

Very Annoyed Drunk Girl: can you play madonna - 4 minutes?

me: played it way earlier.

me: sure, whatever.

Very Annoyed Drunk Girl w/ Guy Trying To Get Laid: Yo dude.. you're rad

me: yeah, thanks.

GTTGL: so, this very attractive lady here with me (she was 35 & flat) wants to flash you to hear her song..

me: <resisting the gut urge to say "no thanks"> uh huh.

VADG: (rolling eyes) -- I told you it wouldn't work

Guy Trying To Get Laid: so she wants to hear Tainted Love (while I'm playing 90's R&B)

me: uh yeah.. don't have that one (no I'm not kicking up to 136 bpm at 3:30 AM)

Very Annoyed Drunk Girl: what about Round and Round?

me: uh.. by who?

VADG: you have to be kidding me!! what kind of DJ are you? you don't have round and round?

me: no idea what song you're talking about (rolling eyes)

Guy Trying To Get Laid: yeah, who is that song by?

VADG: I JUST WANT TO HEAR ROUND AND ROUND!!!

me: <waves security over> ---- night folks!

Round and round by Tevin Campbell? I would've played it!

Kool DJ Sheak One 5:52 PM 10 November 2008

Well, Seeing that drunk broad wanted tainted love, her next drunk choice wouldn't be Tevin Campbell, but Rather Dead or Alives' timeless classic; "you spin me round (like a record)"

But no one should oblige to such ridiculous requests, it only makes things worse when you play a song for someone. They feel like they can just keep requesting... and they will.

DJ-A 5:58 PM 10 November 2008

^^^I hate that... play one song and they won't leave you alone... they always have another... just that thought starts putting me in a bad mood

Ah yes, how could I forget Ratts' "Round and Round"
That had to be the one old flatty wanted.
Yikes!

DJ Young Herrera 7:57 PM 10 November 2008

So how many of us actually don't take requests? I've never actually said "No, I don't" when people ask. I usually say, "If its a good one".

Does anyone here ever tell people that you don't do requests? If so, how do people usually react?

I always say "it depends". Its like a game of prisoner-dilemma with 4 outcomes:

a) girl requesting a song i like - yes
b) guy requesting a song i like - yes
c) guy requesting a song i don't like - hell no
d) girl requesting a song i don't like - may be

everyone knows "may be" means "no"!

I usually don't have problems with people and their requests. Its when I've already played a song and tell people I'm not going to play it again. That's when people become bitches. Actually, I've never had a guy get mad. Its always girls. They turn into bitches right before my eyes. Usually they start out smiling and rubbing on my arm or some shit, which I hate, cuz I know they are just being "strippers" when they do that.

How does everyone else deal with requests for tracks that you've already played? Maybe I'm strange but I make it a rule to never play a track twice in a night when there is a crowd there.

Standard customer question: Do you take requests?

My answer always: What did you have in mind?

If I think I'll play it: I'll work it in when I get a chance.

If I think I won't: I'll try to work it in, We'll see, etc.

bourbonstmc 9:36 PM 10 November 2008

Quote:

Typical exchange:

Will you play X?

I've already played it.

Can you play it again?

(If it played it really early) Maybe later. We'll see.

(If I've played it after most of the crowd arrived) Probably not gonna get a chance to play it again. Almost everybody was here when I played it. What else would you like to hear?

A little tact goes a long way with most people. For those for whom it doesn't, you can try to ignore them. Or, if neccessary, just say you need to get back to work and ask them to go mingle and let you have your space.

I'm the same way. I won't repeat a song unless it's a new track that I'm trying to break. Then I'll play it about 3 or 4 times in a night. Only because people need to be brainwashed like that.

And when it comes to taking requests, my answer is always the same "I'll see if I can work it in" even if i have no intention of playing it

I use to do that (i'll see if i can work it in) but then i got tired of the "When are you going to play it" and "you havent played it yet" ahhhhhh gives me a headache just thinking about it

It really depends on how they approach me. I've been flat out rude to the nicest person ever.

The funniest one was when this guy kept asking for anonymous by Bobby Valentino and he kept asking every 5 mins. I told him when I see him talking to a woman I'll play it and not a moment before that. Lol. The look on his face was priceless. Lol.

But I treat each person differently. I don't have any stock answers I use because everyone is different and will react a different way.

there was a chick that doesnt dance till she is way drunk, she'll come up and request a song.

I reply by asking her if she'll dance if i play it

she gets a shocked face gets pissed and takes 10 seconds to decide to play the flirty please, i'll be your best friend card...

I need to think of a good response to that... she's the chick that if i play one song she'll keep coming up and requesting more

DJ Doug Collins 6:35 PM 15 November 2008

I had the girls who walked in 8 seconds after we'd turned off the lights and started requesting songs last night. And I had the "I'm a DJ too" guy bugging me last night. Asking me for Lil Wayne. That automatically made me despise him, and believe he probably has never DJ'ed anywhere but his bedroom. And I'm pretty sure I'd played something with Lil Wayne like 3 songs before. I need to put my "don't ask me to play Lil Wayne" sign back up in the booth.

WACK DJ'S?! well where the fuck do you dj? your bedroom? a little ghetto-ass hole in the wall club where 85% of the crowd is dudes? i play music according to the crowd cuz thats what im paid to do... i dont just "play" the music either... im flippin acapellas over beats, i work in scratches and juggles here and there and most of all i keep the crowd rockin more than any of you "closed minded" WACK dj's. of course i hate all that souljah boy and lil wayne shit... but i love dj'ing and i love to see the crowd react to what i play. im always choppin up all that good'ol 90's hip-hop and old-skool shit when i first set up and the club just opens, but when the crowd poors in... its time for me to do my job. sure, i might be dissed by other dj's for playing that shit, but i get more gigs then them and im more paid and known... dj'ing to me isn't about impressing other dj's. so go ahead and call me a wack dj... im more well-rounded then you will ever be!

Damn, you got me beat. I don't even have a DJ setup in my bedroom, that's how inexperienced I am (it's in my studio). Yes, I'm a closed minded WACK DJ because I don't think that a DJ should play stuff in the club just because it's on the radio, regardless of how shitty the song is. I'm also a closed minded WACK DJ because I believe that a DJ should have the ability to break new records that aren't on the radio. Yes, I'm a closed minded WACK DJ that isn't well-rounded, but has musical knowledge of just about every genre of music. Yes, I'm a closed minded WACK DJ that probably has more experience and knowledge of the business than you'll ever have.

OH, one more thing... I'm more well-rounded THAN you will ever be! (learn proper grammar kid)

Don't take what I say to heart. You do what works for you, and I'll keep doing what works for me. I play some of that BS that's on the radio too. The difference is that I decide to draw the line somewhere. After all, I'm a DJ not a jukebox!!

Mobile DJ at a school dance and I had already emailed my playlist to the contracted party: got the OK! Spoke about restricted song play on curse words: understood! Set up and started the 1st song and they came up and asked me to play something a "little less rappy"!!! I wasn't ready for that. I managed to squeak it thru the night but all the kids were definitely not happy with the song choices. I don't know if this has been discussed but you have to ensure that you are on the same page as the person hiring you. Now I have 300+ kids who won't be calling me for any other gigs. I wouldn't have taken the job if I knew the road it was taking me down.

after the girl found the song she REALLY wanted me to play... i took a listen and it was a mixtape freestyle over the VIC beat!! she was mad at me when i played the real song and not the lil wayne version!! all i do is laugh at these dumb kids.

WOW, you actually admit to playing "mrs. officer" and "Get Silly"!!
I laugh at these wack DJs

LOL

WACK DJ'S?! well where the fuck do you dj? your bedroom? a little ghetto-ass hole in the wall club where 85% of the crowd is dudes? i play music according to the crowd cuz thats what im paid to do... i dont just "play" the music either... im flippin acapellas over beats, i work in scratches and juggles here and there and most of all i keep the crowd rockin more than any of you "closed minded" WACK dj's. of course i hate all that souljah boy and lil wayne shit... but i love dj'ing and i love to see the crowd react to what i play. im always choppin up all that good'ol 90's hip-hop and old-skool shit when i first set up and the club just opens, but when the crowd poors in... its time for me to do my job. sure, i might be dissed by other dj's for playing that shit, but i get more gigs then them and im more paid and known... dj'ing to me isn't about impressing other dj's. so go ahead and call me a wack dj... im more well-rounded then you will ever be!

Damn, you got me beat. I don't even have a DJ setup in my bedroom, that's how inexperienced I am (it's in my studio). Yes, I'm a closed minded WACK DJ because I don't think that a DJ should play stuff in the club just because it's on the radio, regardless of how shitty the song is. I'm also a closed minded WACK DJ because I believe that a DJ should have the ability to break new records that aren't on the radio. Yes, I'm a closed minded WACK DJ that isn't well-rounded, but has musical knowledge of just about every genre of music. Yes, I'm a closed minded WACK DJ that probably has more experience and knowledge of the business than you'll ever have.

OH, one more thing... I'm more well-rounded THAN you will ever be! (learn proper grammar kid)

Don't take what I say to heart. You do what works for you, and I'll keep doing what works for me. I play some of that BS that's on the radio too. The difference is that I decide to draw the line somewhere. After all, I'm a DJ not a jukebox!!

Alright... you got me on the grammer, i guess i was always more focused on music THAN school. Anyway, i just wanna say that i dont normally start shit with other dj's... i just got upset when i saw that someone in this furom was hatin' on me. this is a place where i feel welcome, us dj's gotta have eachother's backs. it's fucked up to hate on this forum, this is a place for us to share advice, stories, jokes ect. shit that "normal non-dj humans" wouldn't understand. But no, i try to share a funny story and i get dissed...wtf that ain't cool. We have both been doin' this for a long time, of course i brake records, and no im not just a jukebox (if i am, then im the first jukebox that can mix, scratch, and juggle lol) but i do play request... cuz after all, they did come to MY spot to have a good time, and i wanna keep them comin' back.

SO 2 EVERYONE READING THIS..... KEEP THAT HATIN' BULLSHIT OUTTA HERE CUZ WE ALL SHARE THE LOVE OF THIS ART!!! and 2 dynamite... i wish u the best.... sorry guys... no fight. im done PEACE!!!

heh.. dude was bugging me one night about how his friend was from NoLa and wanted to hear Lil Wayne.. after telling him no 5 separate times, he just breaks down and asks why.. I tell him Lil Wayne has no talent.. his a disgrace to hip hop, etc, etc, so the guy goes.. 'Well I noticed you played two Tribe Called Quest songs in the last couple hours.. I like them, but name one other rapper you like better then Lil Wayne.. I laugh and go.. "Vanilla Ice"

Jeremyrc 12:55 PM 19 November 2008

This is not a request about a song but one time I was DJing a house party and this girl came up and asked if she could put her purse and jacket somewhere behind the turntables where it would be safe. I said It's cool. then next thing you know everyone wanted me to watch there shit. I had every dam purse and jacket in room flooding the DJ booth. Lesson learned.

Caramac 3:46 PM 19 November 2008

I had to curb that shit quick time. Before you know it random people are coming up and down looking in bags and you never know if they're taking stuff or it belongs to them.

That and they end up getting in your way. I've gotten really millitant round my booth this last year. No drinks, bags nothing.

I would either charge her $5 or get her phone number and ask her if I could come to her job and drop some boxes off that I dont feel like storing in the basement.

All of y'all are lucky. The shit that y'all are getting away with saying to people would never happen at my ghetto club. If I were to say some of whats been posted here I would surely have to shoot somebody or get shot at after the club closes. Luckily for me nobody has ever said that i suck, maybe it's because they know i'm strapped or they are actually enjoying the music (hot garbage)

dj lad 8:07 PM 21 November 2008

Guh. So I was just asked to open for another DJ for 1.5 hours and get a couple hundred bucks. That's fine, I can still go out on Saturday night. But the promoter was like "Remember I was the first person to hire you in this city?" I had to break it to him that he wasn't... not even close. It was really weird... I sort of didn't know what to say. He's asking me to spin for 90 minutes and he's paying well for those 90 minutes. That's fine with me. It was just very odd... I've played at about 20 other clubs in this city since we first talked and... its weird.

djchrischip 10:37 PM 21 November 2008

dj lad and wait what was wierd having to tell him he didn't give u ur "big break"... He might of been saying that for a number of reasons
1. to make feel good and give him a price break.
2. to massage his ego as to being a promoter who got a good dj and now that dj is somewhere partially because of him somehow
3. to just say he was proud of you and happy to be the first promotor to break u in the biz in the city and well look now u r coming back to spin for him.

i guess it is whatever it is but what was wierd telling him that u dj'ed somewhere before he gave u a gig???

dj lad 1:01 AM 22 November 2008

It was weird because it wasn't a big break. It was a shitty lounge where I played three times because the place was always empty. The bouncers used to joke about how they would check 40 IDs a night.

He wanted a price break, and I didn't give it to him. He was very weird on the phone - almost like he was begging, and I think that's what was weird. I've been DJing for a long time and I've never had a promoter pull something like that. He didn't give me a "big break" - he basically called begging me to do 1.5 hours ... then he called back and asked for 3 at the same price. I told him that's not reasonable and he knows it. The place is going under and he doesn't want to pay talent what they deserve.

He wasn't even the first promoter to bring me into a club in this city. There were like four before him.

djchrischip 7:28 PM 22 November 2008

lol word there are plenty of people in the business like that

DJ Young Herrera 7:00 PM 24 November 2008

So this chick comes up to the booth and is like, "hey you're really cool, can you play some eighties music?"

I respond, "I'll see what I can do"

She responds by holding up a folded up ten dollar bill and asks, "where's your tip jar?" I waive her off and say, you don't have to tip me. She continues to just hold it up, so I take it from her and say again that she doesn't have to tip me. So it gets weird cuz she doesn't leave and I say, "thanks very much that's very nice of you".

I figure, whatever, just got ten. Sweet. I toss it in the coffin and continue on. Ten minutes later she's standing in front of the booth giving me the "What the hell" gesture and face. I yell down to her "you gotta give me some time".

this happens about two more times in the next twenty minutes. I ended up throwing on some track I forget what it was, but she's in my ear all of sudden screaming, "this is 90s not 80s!" So I tell her to chill out and she goes away. I throw on AC/DC 15 minutes later just to get her to stop f'in with me and she give me two thumbs up from the dancefloor. What a stupid whore.

DJ TOMMY COXX 8:13 PM 24 November 2008

OK, OK, OK
check it

Doing a top 40 night, i'd throw in some 80's and old skool 90's ala public enemy, mc breed..

killing it at the end of the night with some 120 bumping shit and this dumb blonde came up to me begging to play 4 non blondes WHATS GOING ON!!!!! absolute vibe killer.

I laughed thinking she was joking..oh no...this went on for like the last hour slapping me on the shoulder and shit "you havent played it yet!" until I finally gave her boyfriend a look like was gonna kill her.
Why do people exist?

Me "cool thanks. what can i help you with"

Troop "you going to be here next week"

Me "yep every saturday. I dj Hip Hop Ever Saturday"

Troop " Cool i'm new here, but Yo i'm going to bring my External next week"

WTF.. I almost bumped my Turntables... LOL

Me "umm what you bring your hard drive for"

Troop " I figured you would hook me up with some music"

Me "yeah probably not.. Look man first of all that's rude.. exit the stage now"

I really hate hearing that. I get people trying to throw hard drives, IPOD, IPHONEs... Have these fuckers heard of Itunes.. Damn!!!!

ntmoney 9:04 AM 30 November 2008

A week ago this chick wanted the MC to make a birthday shout out...I told her that he usually did that at 11:30...it was like 10:45 at the time. I continued to mix. I looked back and I swear she was staring at her watch like if she was tranced. She was stuck to the darn thing. Funny thing...at exactly 11:30 she walked towards the booth and signaled to her watch. The homie didnt announce the shout outs till after 12 tho..lol...

Chrisjin 9:08 AM 30 November 2008

I feel really bad for the dj's that get hate on by drunk idiots. I've been rockin a shirt that says Fuck off Im mixing and they been respecting that. I'm thinking about making a list for everyone to see when they approach the zone that reads, these are the following songs that get no spins. I'm not trying to be a dick but us dj's have to reclaim the scene where we control the crowd with our hand picked joints.

DJ Dynamite - NJ 4:39 PM 30 November 2008

So last night I'm doing my thing at a Monthly guest spot that I do. Mixed crowd, young and old and a slew of cougars in the spot. Chick comes up to me and asks for some Madonna. I'm like "No problem" cause i was about to drops some cheesy 80s joints anyway. I throw on "Holiday" by Madonna and this chick almost flips out at me, "Not that song, I want the new Madonna song. You know, the techno one" So I'm like "If you didn't specify before, did you expect me to read your mind?" I'm going back to my NO REQUESTS policy

Caramac 4:45 PM 30 November 2008

Lol @ Dynamite. I always ask which one so when they don't specify I have free reign to drop whatever tune by that artist I feel like.

Oh you want any Jay Z? Right So Ghetto it is.

DJ CON-STRUC 8:00 AM 4 December 2008

so tonight this girl asked if she could make a shout out to her friend... i was like "yeah no problem"... i didn't have my mic hooke up so i turned around to grab it but before i could do anything, the chick put her face close to my mixer and yelled her shout out, thinking that her vioce was being picked up! she turned around and said "thank you" and i was speechless.

whenever I get a drunk chic from a bridal party coming up to request a song & she is very demanding or wants a song that is completely out of the mix. I tell her as politely as I can that she should make sure that her wedding dj has the song because she will be paying him... not me! Unfortunately, I end up playing it:(

imperialenforcer 12:29 PM 5 December 2008

So, tonight I was setting everything up and these older women come up to booth and said, "Can you play some funk? Like that bow bow yeppie yow yeppie yea song?". Nothing wrong with that, except I hate requests, but they are clearing out the restaurant and tables and that's not really "funk" but boogie, and that isn't a bad place to start.
So, I start with a little boogie e.i. D Train, Unlimited Touch and then go into Parliment-Bop Gun, the husband comes up to the booth and says, "So these women are a little older and want to hear music from 70's and 80's."......
Basically I told him that this came out in '77 and the rest is in that era too. Then the wife came up and said can you play something I can dance to?....................... <- I hate that one.
"People dance to the waltz"
"You have a really bad aditude!"
"I'm sorry that's just a horrible request, I'm not sure what your tastes are. You tell me 'something that you can dance to' what does that mean?"
"it means something with a beat"
"Um... modern pop music has a beat. Most have a pronounced beat as well."
"Well, can you play that apple bottom jeans song?"
"This isn't a top 40 or hip hop night, this mainly an obscure/nu-disco night with soul influence."
"Oh can you play the bee gee's then?" (because she heard disco)
"No, I'm sorry, I need to get back to work."

UGHHH! I swear women are horrible! The worst is playing to a left over crowd that really doesn't know what the night is. They treat you like a juke box and expect that you will play whatever they want. I don't play for people coming off the street to expect me to play what is being played on MTV! I play music that might be different or new, fun never the less, but if you want to listen to usher please sit in your car and turn on the radio.

Caramac 1:56 PM 5 December 2008

Lol. I feel your pain. I had something like that. I just say yeah no problems and when they come up 40 mins later I'm like did you hear your song?

No did you play it?
Yeah about 10 mins ago. Where were you?
I must have been in the other room.
Oh so you're cheating on me with another dj then?
you're funny. (bats eyelids) Can you play it again.
I would but I get in trouble with management if I play songs twice. You want anything else.
umm you got any Beyonce?
yeah which one?
Umm I don't know the newest one?
Lol no problems coming right up.
Thank you mr dj.

DJ Young Herrera 2:11 PM 5 December 2008

Idiotchick: You have the computer right there, just download it.

Idiotchick: Yes you can. You need to play the cupid shuffle.

I said: "Do you see a coin slot somewhere in my face were you can simply put a quarter in? I am NOT a jukebox!"

Another dude:"Narcotik".
Me:"Whole sentence please!"
Dude:"Please play Narcotik"
Me: "I don´t have it!"

Many times claiming not to have a song is easier than explaining why not playing it!

"Can you play some funk? Like that bow bow yeppie yow yeppie yea song?". Nothing wrong with that, except I hate requests, but they are clearing out the restaurant and tables and that's not really "funk" but boogie, and that isn't a bad place to start.

You think Atomic Dog isn't Funk? Seriously?

I was in a nice classic Salsa set and I kept dropping out the bass and everyone was doing the "salsa clap" til I brought it back in.. it was fun... and standing out like a sore thumb was this angry chick with a wicked limp staring up at me. She comes over with a mean look on her face and asked for some "Real Spanish Music" I had no idea what she meant, but everyone else was dancing... she then leaves and comes back 10 minutes later with a LIST of about 5 artists and songs written on a moist length of toilet paper... (which I refused to touch)

ME: "Hey, I don't come to your job with a list of demands written on toilet paper do I?"

by another dj he asked me do I ever blankout and dont know what to play.I look at him and was like nope.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! by far that top my list never have I been asked that in 15 plus years

Laz219 1:05 AM 21 December 2008

A couple of nights ago, playing a place where the people can get right in front of me (think a few inches from my tables/laptop)so I'm playing some fairly mainstream electro and a guy comes up to ask what song was playing. I tryed to tell him but he couldn't hear my properly so I just pointed to the side it was on so he could read it for himself...so that was all good.

About half an hour later, same guy comes because he liked another song I was playing, this time he didn't ask..he just pulled out his phone, leant over my turntables (which made me nervous as) and took a photo of the name/artist. Was cueing up the next song so I just chose to ignore it (plus it was another really well known song/mix so I didn't really care) Aother half hour or so passed and I saw him making his way towards me again, phone ready. I quickly turned on trainspotter mode and put my headphones on. He came over, looked over the screen to get a picture, couldn't figure out where the names had gone...got a disappointed look and walked away.

I don't mind telling people what I'm playing, just didn't like that he wasn't even going to ask.

Laz219 1:08 AM 21 December 2008

I actually noticed one argument against the colored serato vinyl too, I was using 1 red one blue that night...The bright colors kept getting peoples attention so they'd come over to look. Had one drunk idiot come up...turn around to his friend and say "How cools this...a red record" while point at it...hit the tonearm, stylus flew all over the record and now is completely shattered. I've never seen a stylus so messed up. Luckily it was last song and that te organiser is paying to replace it.

Audio1 1:38 AM 21 December 2008

LAST NIGHT, a girl complained when I played Beyonce - Single ladies. She said "Its weird that a married woman is singing about Single ladies..." and then I burst her bubble like... "Well, This is one of the hottest tracks in the club right now, everyone is dancing and Beyonce/Jay-Z still claim they didnt get married so FUCK OFF YOU STUPID snowbunny CUNT!" hahhahahaha

Caramac 5:17 PM 21 December 2008

To be honest the first time it happened I didn't really have anything smart to say and again last night I was kind of dumbstruck. I know there are racists in this world some more extreme than others but why would you go up to a dj in a mixed crowd club on an rnb night and complain about hearing too much black music?!?! Just go home or better yet my venue has two rooms. One for rnb the other for pop cheesey stuff. It's not my fault all the girls are in my room!!

frost-9 4:57 AM 22 December 2008

That guy was probably out of line Caramac, and I have had people say that to me.. hell, I don't even like half the garbage I have to play. To someone that doesn't like hiphop, going out is probably pretty difficult these days, you either suffer through music you don't like, or you hang out in an old man bar. Hip Hop is to the the late 90's, and every year post 2000 as cheesy dance music was to the early to mid 90's. It's everywhere, and difficult to escape. Obviously saying "do you not know any white people" is just plain retarded, but I can sometimes understand the frustration people have. Luckily your venue has two rooms.

Audio1 7:27 AM 22 December 2008

telling people to fuck off is the right thing to say, given the situation. Last night (Novakane was a witness to this)... I play "Boyz N Da Hood" by Eazy-E. The crowd loves it but one girl was not having it. She walks up and yells "Hey, Can you play 2008 hiphop?" and I told her "FuCK OFF!" He walked away and next track I played was "Pop Champagne", and then I point at her and yell "2008, BITCH!" we were rolling.... Now, If she would have been courteous, I would have been like, Yes, I will get back to current music within 1-2 tracks, but the bitch was snirky and hella rude, so FUCK OFF is great from my standpoint. I dont bitch ass people (male/female/whatever) the benefit of the doubt. If a DJ is rocking the club, At least come up with a decent request or shut up and dance!

frost-9 8:55 AM 22 December 2008

yeah Audio, that happened to me a couple weeks ago.. I dropped bleeding love for a verse (was a request) and some girl runs up and says.. can't you play something new that's upbeat and not depressing, like Kanye - Heartless? ---- taken back by the fact that she considered 91 bpm upbeat and the subject matter in Heartless being less depressing than bleeding love, I just looked at her like she had recently suffered a severe head injury and went back to work..

Caramac 10:31 AM 22 December 2008

Oh I can understand that not everyone likes rap music etc it's just an out and out bad minded thing to say. I mean what response do you expect from a comment like that?

I had a few other random ones that night as well but that one took the biscuit. Lol one girl came in and you can just tell that within the next 5 minutes she's going to be up and asking for Miss Independent at 10pm. She's got that look on her face lol.

Sure enough within the next 5 minutes she's up saying that she wants to hear something different.

Like what?
Um Ne Yo's new one?
Mad?
No the other one?
Miss Independent?
Yeah next?
No not next but soon?
Why not next because it's a top club tune I'm not playing it at 10pm. Don't worry you'll hear it.
But we're leaving in ten minutes
Then you'll miss the song then won't you.
I'm going to have a word with the owner.
Go on then. Be my guest he's over there.

She didn't do shit.

The worst part about the whole request was that it fit. BPM was on, gener was on, crowd was on, everything was on. I just don't like MGMT. And I did play it but only because of who asked for it.

My Saturday nights are a mix of dance and top 40 stuff all night. So there's a good amount of EVERYTHING mixed in. I think it was around 11:15 and the dancefloor was fully packed.

I was playing an uptempo remix of Drop It Like Its Hot with a bunch of other high-energy top40ish stuff. And this chick keeps yelling "aye Deejay" from the side of the booth. So I finally go over on that side and ask her what's up.

Girl: Can you play some rap?
Me: Is there specific song you wanna hear?
Girl: I don't know...like real rap...like Soulja B (gets cut off)
Me: No, Soulja Boy sucks. What else?
Girl: Can you play ANY rap?
Me: I've been playing a lot of it, its just not being played right now. You'll hear it again at some point, but I'm not play any one genre all night.
Girl: Can you play "Drop It Like Its Hot"?
Me: Can you not hear what's being played right now?
Girl: But this is different, can you play the original.
Me: I would have, but you just wasted the time I could've used to play the original. I gotta go...

dunkle 10:44 PM 29 December 2008

So, the spot was hot. The two other djs and I were going record for record. We had four turntables going and the shit was bananas. Everybody was dancing. The place where we were at is known for house music and we were definitely NOT playing house music. It was a free for all of music. Every mix was straight off the cuff since I no idea what song was going to be playing when it was my turn again. The people were bugging out! At some point these two girls come up and ask when we were going to start playing house. One of the other djs, who is known to play house at this spot that is known for house, told them in no uncertain terms "If you want house music tonight, you better take your ass somewhere else!". The irony of the situation just killed me. Maybe you have to know him to see the comedy in the statement but I about hit the floor with laughter.

On another note, I had a short encounter with one of the most ignorant people I think I've ever encountered while djing. Oh, by the way, it was the same night mentioned above. I had just dropped "Rich Girl" by Hall & Oats when....

Randumb Dude: Hey, I like what you guys are doing but could you not play anymore Rick James.
Me: What, when did Rick James get played?
Randumb Dude: You're playing Rick James right now. Could you not play him anymore? But I love what you're doing.
Me: What the fuck are you talking about!?!
Randumb Dude: Rick James, please don't play anymore Rick James.
Me: Seriously, you think this is Rick James? WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU! You don't know the difference between Hall & Oats & Rick James! GO AWAY! (More expletives were thrown about but I can't remember them all.)
Randumb Dude scurries away in shame.

Normally I just blow that kinda thing off with a shrug and a "sure man, whatever you want". But for whatever reason dude hit a nerve and I wasn't having it.

nah man, I just wasn't in love with the "fight the power" attitude you seem to have regarding stomping on an established house night, which, from my understanding are quite rare these days. listening to a segment of one of your myspace mixes it sounds like you're knee deep in the hipster sound. I personally would rather listen to a good house set then hear Blue Monday butchered for an eternity, but to each their own. If you rocked the crowd, you rocked the crowd. Whatever.

dunkle 10:48 PM 30 December 2008

Dear Frost-9,

"Fight the power attitude". I don't even know what that means. Let me try to explain this to you so you understand the point.

First, the other dj who made the statement is a very well known dj in the world of house music. Since you're from the house scene (or have a deep appreciation for house music) I will assume you know something about Florida Breaks from the mid 90's. This guy was a resident at both the Orlando and Miami (or was it Ft. Lauderdale) "Edge" (known for house and pretty much the birth place of Florida Breaks). He toured extensively through out Europe and America. Hell, he even went on tour with Motley Crew. Dude has put out house records and even ran his own label at one point. He is one of the reasons that the spot is known for house and it's his night that, as you so nicely put it, "I kicked in the nuts". So to hear him, him of all people, tell someone that no house music will be played that night stuck me as one of the most ridiculous comments I had ever heard while djing. The point of this thread.

In no way was the story meant to attack house music or a house music night. I'm sorry your panties got all twisted because you read more into it than what was written.

Second, thanks for checking out my myspace page. I'm glad to see you're picking apart a mix that was done live on the air of the radio show almost a year ago. That's cool, I aint mad at cha'. I never claimed to be the greatest dj. Did you download the mix tape? That one is all live and in one take as well. You probably won't like because its "knee deep in the hipster sound". Sorry for branching out and playing something new and or different. Here I thought the idea of being a dj was to expose people to music (both new and old) in ways they had never heard it before. Maybe if ever song I played had a 16 bar intro then every mix would be perfect. I was really hoping to see what you had to offer but, alas, no links to anything from your profile. So I can't make any witty comments about what you do since whatever it is you do you keep to yourself.

But seriously, if you were going to pick apart anything on my myspace page you should have gone with how my name was misspelled on the Christmas Party flyer. Now that's some funny shit. You could have gotten a whole thread of "you dj so bad jokes" from that alone.

Idlemind1999 3:27 PM 31 December 2008

About a week or two ago, some chick was asking for a song, it fit in with the direction i was going, so I played it... then maybe an hour later while in some old school reggae, she asked me if i had a card, so I gave it to her. Then about 10 min after that, I get a Text:

"Thanks for playing my song...See you next week."

We are rarely appreciated for our efforts, so I glad that someone thought to say thanks.

about 2 weeks later I was an a totally different club and doing the "dumb radio hits" to get them out of the way, and I get a text... You're doing a great job, thanks...

I txt back THANKS...

I didnt realize it was from the same chick, since I didnt save the number.. but I was in a different city and theres no way she could have known where i was..

Later that night I was packing up (one of those places that closes earlier than in the city) and I get another text:

"Thanks for the CD, Can you play my song again? I'll see you next week"

It all started to make sense, She must have a bunch of DJs in her phone, and thats her way to get her songs played. She wasnt sending me messages on purpose, they were meant for whoever was spinning where ever she was.

I wonder how they are all listed in there... :

oh and saturday.. after rocking Sister Nancy, General Echo, and Barrington Levy this dude comes up to me and asks for 'Oldschool Reggae'

wtf.

Caramac 6:27 PM 31 December 2008

I just had a chat with one girl on facebook and she was saying how she's getting used to hearing tunes at my residency and then about a month later or more on the radio.

That was kind of nice.

Odyssey92 11:44 AM 1 January 2009

indeed on boxing day! my mate was playing on my night half and way through playing dance version of rage against the machine guy at the bar says to me."you cant play this!And i turned round to hiom and said he already is!The chheek of it tghe place is going bloody mental and he says that!....Proper jockey who obviously cannot handle anything that isant house orientated.

I was playing at my resident club New Years Eve and around 1:00 am this chic comes up to and says to me " Hey Do you have a mic? " I said yes and then she tells me " Hey I lost my brother can you turn down the music and tell him to meet me up at the dj booth"

I just laughed straight to her face.

What nerve some drunk chics got

agentorange 1:12 AM 3 January 2009

i was spinning in a lounge/club in L.E.S. and some girl grabbed me out of the booth without me looking and pulled me into the bathroom (which was 10 feet away) i still had my headphones on. the cord stretched all the way out. hahah that shit was funny.

i think she was requesting to give me a blowjob.

Jesus Christ 1:19 AM 3 January 2009

This is a great read. Thanks for all the input guys.

So, New Year's Eve in Hollywood and some girl comes up at 11:30 and asks, "how do you get back there?" There's an Employee Only entrance to the back hallway that leads to the DJ booth. I told her "Practice a lot!" She looks confused and asks "can you give a shoutout to my friends? They're newlyweds." I said "No. I don't have a mic." I really didn't. Thank goodness I had the countdown pre-recorded. She says "Please? Just a quick shoutout. They're nice people." So I turned down the monitor in the booth and yelled "I donnn'tttt haaaaave aaaaaa miiicrophoooone!!!" I thought she got it when she walked away.

10 minutes goes by and I feel a pat on the back. I turn and see one of the bouncers. I said what's up and we exchanged pleasantries. He leans back and points behind the curtain and says "Hey man, this is a really good friend of mine and she wanted to give a quick shoutout to her peeps." Halfway through his sentence I saw who it was and my smile quickly faded. I said "Bro, I already told her that I don't have a microphone. Unless she wants me to stop the music and let her yell her shoutout, we're fucked! Happy New Year."

I turned around and put my headphones back on. I didn't wait for a response.

DJ CON-STRUC 7:41 AM 3 January 2009

I dont really know where this story belongs but.....

this nye my parents were in the building, and my mom got TRASHED. she was so funny... she was running around and screaming "IM THE DJ'S MOM!!!! IM SUCH A MILF, IM SO FUCKIN' HOT!!!!"

she even got on the mic and started talkin' shit!

i have never seen her like that before. i went to visit her in the morning and she was like "fuck you... dont talk to me, im so hung over!" good times!

DVDjHardy 8:47 AM 3 January 2009

Tonight was full of numbnuts running rampant at the bar.

Keep in mind that this is my 4th (out of 5) night in a row spinning, and add in the stress of a hard drive failure before NYE (which was sort of resolved), a round trip flight for 2 of the gigs, stress of making it to my parents for my mom's birthday and finding a gift in between this stuff, and then being asked to show up an hour early tonight for the gig by the owner, only to wait later than the usual start time to be able to play anything...all I had to give up was my only chance to go have dinner over this holiday break with my close friends.

It was a really packed night (which is why I was called in earlier) because the DJ on Saturday nights is moving to LA and this was his going away party. His name is ChrisCo - pretty cool guy. He had a ton of people out and a few of them were cool, but most were just annoying as fuck. 3 requests stood out the most:

1. 1st random guy walks up to me.

RG1: Yo gimme your mic, I wanna hype up the crowd.
Me: I don't think so.
RG!: I've been doing it all night, "When I say Chris, you say (Co)"
Me: Nobody besides me or Chris gets to talk on the mic.
RG1: Come on man, it'll be sweet.
Me: Sorry, its not gonna happen.

2. Another Random guy walks up to me.

RG2: Yo Hardy, play Gin n' Juice for ChrisCo.
Me: (Looking to see if I know this guy...Nope). Umm...sure. (I love the song)
RG2: Play it next, alright?
Me: No, it won't be next.
RG2: Why?
Me: Because I have to make it sound good...I'm not a juke box.
RG2: (Has this weird-looking smirk on his face) You don't know me, do you?
Me: No
RG2: Whatever man...just play my song like I said.
Me: (Headphones back on...thinking to myself how it sucks that I'm gonna get to play this song now...)

3. I'm playing "Music Sounds Better With You". 2 relatively hot chicks who've been dancing (I'm way above the floor) sort of below me come up to me.

Chicks: (Without me even making eye contact) NO MORE TECHNO, WE CAN'T DANCE TO THIS!
Me: (Not saying a WORD, just look at them like they're retarded.)
Chicks: There are some hot bitches down there who really want to hear that Jamie Foxx song...
Me: (Still not saying anything, its not gonna make things any easier if I get involved in this conversation)
Chicks: Play it next!
Me: May be later, its a slow song and it won't work right now.
Chicks: Just do it, we will dance to it!
Me: (Ignore, Ignore, Ignore...)

A few minutes later their friend (I think her name was Mini Van) came up to request the same song.

MiniVan: Can you play that song "I love her because..." I'm too drunk to know the artist. But its a remix of "Miss Independent".
Me: I just told your friends, I'll try to work it in later.
MiniVan: Just play it NOW, I'll pay you.
Me: No thanks, I don't need your money.
MiniVan: Whatever, I'll pay you $100.
Me: OK, let's see the $100.
MiniVan: (Tries to act like she's gonna pull it out of her purse while I calmly watch it all go down)
Me: (About to put my headphones back on and get to mixing)
MiniVan: Do you want me to run to the ATM across the street just to get your $100? I'll pay you...just play my song!
Me: I didn't ask for $100, you offered it.
MiniVan: Mumbles something dumb under her stinky breath and walks away all pissed off.

I thought that would be it...but they send their guy friend this time, who was as polite as possible and asked if I'd play it. I said sure, later on. He said "thanks" and walked back to the bitches....

Amazing, no retards were harmed while this evening went down.

Caramac 4:03 PM 3 January 2009

Lol Hardy. You had it bad.

Elronz 4:19 PM 3 January 2009

LOL sorry Hardy sounds like you could have used someone to stop the stupidity.

Caramac 5:03 PM 3 January 2009

Saying that I had one request yesterday for some girls aloud. It's not really the request it was just that she was so rude. She kept saying the night was shit and that she only wanted one song. I told her I didn't have it did she want anything else but no she kept moaning and moaning. I got bored and told her to go over the other side of the room as she was getting on my nerves.

sopranosupasta 5:45 PM 3 January 2009

I had one of the Boston Celtics offer me a $100 bill to play "my dougie" and i didnt have it.....what a shit!

Showbiz09 9:21 PM 4 January 2009

Long thread - funny. Defitnely on the T-shirt bit. It is no mystery that a DJ will never please every person that comes into the club, especially as they become incrfeasingly inebriated. I have found that support from the manager is key to taking and responding to requests - in those situations where you are not lucky enough to be in a closed or suspended booth. Idea for T-shirt 1) ALL REQUESTS BEING TAKEN AT THE BAR.

Annoying commonalities: ANYONE RELATE HERE?

1) Can you play that song that goes like this!? (attemtping to provide personal version)
2) What was the name of that song you played earlier?
3) I'm leaving soon; can you hurry up and play my request (already mentioned but TRUE)
4) Requesting techno during rap sets and vice versa.
5) Do you have that song where it says (add anything here)
6) Can you play something with a beat (any opera or all acapella DJ's out there?)
7) Play something I can dance to (already mentioned but again TRUE)
8) Asking to play a song that was played within the past 15 minutes because they were in the bathroom and wanted to dance to it.
9) Everybody wants to hear (no polls taken)
10) Can you play one more song (lights are on and you are putting away your gear)

Who the F is chris co.? He spins at necto? On saturdays? I've never seen him.

DVDjHardy 9:17 PM 5 January 2009

Yo, that was Friday night @ The Hills...

DJ Young Herrera 9:49 PM 5 January 2009

Oh. Got it. The owner dude right? So who was the weirdo who thought you should know who he is?

DVDjHardy 9:58 PM 5 January 2009

No, the guy who owns that place stopped spinning on Saturdays because it was too busy for him to handle that + managing everything by himself. So this guy who normally played on Thurs nights started playing on Sat nights. I think Andy might be playing Saturdays from now on...

No idea who that guy was...I kinda asked myself if I was supposed to know him. Found him on some of the facebook pics from that night..definitely don't know who he is. I'm guessing he knows the owner and thinks he's VIP. I was in the guy's wedding...LOL. Oh well.

Me: "Thank you, I try to do my best to achieve that goal, just doing my job ma'am"

latindj 4:31 PM 9 January 2009

I wanted to smack the shit outta her

dj lad 8:45 AM 10 January 2009

We don't have a thread for when things go great (we should, though). I just had maybe the best night of my life in terms of spinning. Every single song hit the crowd hard, they were lovin it. The best looking girl in the bar asked me to go home with her (I have a longterm girlfriend I care about so I had to decline) and she was requesting great tunes. That was difficult to turn down.

I gave out about 30 cards to people, had only great requests, the owner were texted to me to tell me how great a job I did, the promoter was loving what I did. It was just a really perfect night. Plus I got asked to DJ a Playboy party next week!

mastermind 10:44 AM 10 January 2009

I hate when people ask to se what you got!!!! What do you have?????

I tell them. " i have over 50,000 songs in my computer"

Caramac 12:57 PM 10 January 2009

Why is it when you think you're having the shittest night ever people think you're the greatest.

For some reason I couldn't find a load of tunes. I had to manually find them on my external drive then drag them back over to get them to play. It wasn't so bad. I just had to be a bit more creative and think of other stuff to play.

Anyway went to the toilet and I over heard one guy talking saying the DJ is wicked. I think of a song I really want to hear and 2 mins later its on. Lol.

Just woke up now and am on FaceBook and this girl is telling me how her mates went down to my club for the 1st time and were loving the music.

I thought I was having a pretty awful night lol.

sopranosupasta 2:37 PM 10 January 2009

monkeybiz 9:09 PM 10 January 2009

A year ago, I was asked to spin a cast & crew party for a movie that was close to wrapping. One of the Production Assitants kept asking to use the microphone, acting very blonde and very drunk. There was a microphone in the booth, but it wasn't mine, and the resident sound guy wasn't even there to get it up and patched through. She grabbed the microphone and started trying to karaoke and give shouts to her friends, but she was so tanked I don't think she even noticed it wasn't coming through the soundsystem. I could hear her, but the rest of the room couldn't. Those that could see her had this "what's SHE on?"- look. After a couple of minutes, I looked closer at the soundboard behind the booth and found a "mic" rotary and brought it up, and her voice shook the entire room and she stepped off in embarrassment. She dropped the mic on my mixer, and I swear there was drool on it.

Later on, she tried to come back and reached for the turntables and tried her idea of "scratching". Her co-workers dragged her away at that point, and the party was about over anyway.

Get Money?

New 50 cent?!?
Yeah you know go shorty it's your birthday!
You serious?

Isn't it?
Nah what fucking rock have you been living under for the past 5 years or so?
Oh. I don't get out much.
(lol. Realising I probably hurt her feelings) I said no worries go over there and dance.

I then played in the club for her as I was shocked and stunned and shocked some more. She looked well happy when it had finished.

Lol.

Last night was weird....

Some chick wrote down her sister's number for me on a napkin relatively early in the night...LOL. She said this is from the "blonde girl over there". An hour or two later the blonde chick comes over and introduces herself.

Her: Hi, I'm Beth..
MeL What up...I know, your friend over there wrote down your number for me...LOL
Her: How old are you?
Me: 27
Her: Ooooh, see I'm 36.
Me: Cool (But thinking, not really...LOL)
Her: We should party after you're finished spinning here!
Me: Um, yeah....see I gotta drive like 60 miles back to my place and I've had a pretty long day. Some other time though!
Her: (frowns) Its because I'm too old isn't it....(goes on forever..then proceeds to basically be my private go-go dancer for a few minutes)

I'm drinking coffee (because I really was tired and had a long drive ahead of me) and this chick spilled some of it on the 57 because she bumped into me. So I wiped it off with the napkin that her # was written on. The chick gets piseed about that and says, "That is soooo mean, why'd you do that? I just laughed it off and got back to spinning while she continued to be a ho and kept dancing around me...LOL.

Later on, my friend who owns this place told me that she owns a day care across the street and that she's married....WTF!

LOL...I think I forgot to mention the part about her husband being AT the bar with her. And the other part where I live 60 miles away...if she was 10 years younger, I would've risked it though...ahaha! I've never slept with a chick older than 30 and it'll probably be that way until I turn 30.

And they go right home. I never had to ask my last fling to leave. She cleaned up, made me a drink, got dressed and left. Didn't even have to walk her out. And she was at my club every Saturday. Oh... and if I didn't go home with her, she didn't flip out and bust out my car window.

After i'm done he say's yo i need a favor. I'm like what.(mind you this is the same guy that wants to copy my hard drive). So, he says that is Internet is down and wants me to download some music for him. I told him NOPE sorry ain't going to happen. Then he wanted to pay me to copy the new stuff i got.

WTF!!!! How is this my problem?

Serious... What would you need the internet for right before a gig anyways... Arent you prepared? Or maybe he was going to download Audio 1's latest mix and let that play...

So, what ended up happening?

I've had a few people ask if they could use my gear after i was done with my set... if its a dude i ask if they have a girlfriend... if yes then i ask where she is so she can give me a BJ when i'm done... if no then i ask well who is going to give me a BJ?

the couple times it was a chick i ask if i can fondle her boobs while she DJ's... that one actually worked.

In Vegas a couple of weeks ago...."Can you play some hip hop so I can dance on the pole"? Asked while EVERYONE in the club is going bonkers, dancing to the tech house and tech trance I was spinning. How can someone be that self absorbed to think that you're going to stop, in the middle of a 2 hour set, to change to another genre so SHE can dance? Insane.

Lol couples in a club and alcohol can be a dangerous combination. I had a similar thing where this one guy asked for Ne Yo - Mad. I was like I'll see. This girl comes up and asks me what the guy had asked for. I said Mad by Ne Yo and she flipped out... I KNEW IT I FUCKING KNEW IT and then stormed off to find the guy. Lol.

djchrischip 9:08 AM 20 January 2009

How about this ridiculous story (me not djing but ridiculous). Last sat was my freinds bday limo party to a club. We get there and every couple is fighting with eachother guys in the limo fighting amongst ourselves fighting with others in the club i think like all but me and like 4 girls we were with were the only ones not thrown out (multiple times)... btw this has to do with djing because I wanted to dj that club BAD and well there go my chances.

DJ JAMES E 9:42 AM 20 January 2009

Had a huge house-party this weekend. I did hip hop, my friend did electro / house, another friend did nothing but pure 80s hits. When I did my set, one of the first 5 songs was single ladies because I instantly got requests for it as soon as I started with the hiphop / RNB. I figured I'd "Get it out of the WAY." So about 30 minutes later this girl comes up to me and asks....
Girl "Do you take any requests?"
ME: Depends, what were you thinking of?
Girl: Beyonce - Single Ladies
ME: I literally just played that half an hour ago, sorry you got here late.
Girl: Oh yeah I heard it, I just wanted to hear it again!!
ME: I doubt that'll happen
Girl: Pleaaaaaaaase?
ME: How about another song? (trying to be nice)
Girl: The cupid shuffle?
ME: Sorry you definitely won't be hearing either of those two songs the rest of the night.
Then about 2 minutes later she comes up with a hot girl and has the hot girl try to tell me that "EVERYONE" wants to hear Single Ladies.
ME: Sorry I can't play the same song tonight, I have a lot of songs I need to play.
Hot Girl: (To her friend) See I told you....

I know it's not an exciting story and this has been repeated 100x's but it happened to me this weekend.

Oh and I forgot this one....

I'm doing this upbeat 100-125bpm hip hop set and this random guy walks up to me WHILE I'm mixing and starts tapping me.

Him: Hey bro can you play this track...
-- He starts typing on his phone (an older flip phone)
Him: Here listen to this... (puts the phone up to my ear)
-- I'm listening and it's some super slow beat that I've NEVER heard of before and the sound quality was so bad that I couldn't even make out what (if anything) was being said PLUS I had my music loud on my speakers so Speakers vs Cell phone.
ME: Dude, I have no idea what this is. I've never heard it before.
Him: Are you serious?? You don't have this track??
ME: I don't think so, who is it by? (Thinking it might be in one of my promo only folders)
Him: Oh, I don't know. I found it on a mixtape online and uploaded the track to my phone. Can you try to play it?
ME: Sorry bro, I don't have time for this right now.
Him: *sigh* ok.

I don't get people!? If you are going to make a request, at least make it something you know the name of the artist/song. I have a lot of obscure tracks on my laptop so I'm willing to listen to requests but asking for a song off an ONLINE MIXTAPE????

Proper response here is to point to the hot girl and say, "Is she a bribe for me? If I play it are you giving her to me to do with what I want? If that's the case, I'll play it...(turn to the hot girl and say, "but then you and I are going upstairs."

Caramac 9:21 AM 22 January 2009

Lol one guy always asks me 5 mins to close to play some inappropiate house song. Anyway last weekend he's asking me for some song that I reply with the usual never heard of it. I have some rnb/rap/reggae if you want to hear anything like that.

He asks do you have (insert song name here)
Nah never even heard of it (I know a few house songs but this one I honestly didn't know)
What do you mean?
Never heard of it. Bruv we do this each week. I don't play house come on.
Ok can I have Snap?
We close in 5 mins and you want Snap?
Yeah ride on time
Lol come ask me earlier next week and I'll play you a snap set.

2 mins later he's back shoving his iPhone in my face. I take a second to focus and realise he's got google on the screen.

Thats the song and theres the artist.
Oh okay. I'll try and check it in the week.
You going to play it then?
nah I don't have it.
You haven't looked in your laptop
Is it house?
No not really.
is it rap
no
is it rnb
no
is it reggae
no it's like (makes house drum programme with mouth)
sounds like house plus I know I don't have that artist in my crates.
Ok

30 seconds later

You can download it
Don't have interconnection

10 seconds later

ARRRRHH I can download it and then send it to you.
Nah mate I'm not plugging anything into my laptop
Come on everyone will love it
(Shudders) This is the last song now. Come and ask me early next week and I'll play something for you.
Cool see you next week.
Cool next week bruv.

I had some fine girl walk up to me last friday while I was playing. The typical dressed up south beach girl who looks like shes way too fine to be in the bar I play at... So she comes up and hands me a folded napkin... Im thinking, great, probably a Britney request. So shes waiting for me to open it, so I do:

"Will you marry me? - Sophia"

Im stunned, and shes still staring at me, and finally asks me "So???"

All I can reply with, is what probably came off as a very sarcastic 'Yes, yes I will.'

She giggled and walked off when I didnt ask for a # or initiate any further conversation... after all, I was DJing..

oops!

This is while there's a full bar of people dancing. I told him that it wasn't his job. He stormed off and I saw him talking to my manager.

The manager comes up and said, "So I'm going to lay off (his name) I think. He's an idiot." Ahh, fun.

hahaha the same thing happen to me too. They hired a new bouncer who was a huge metal freak. So one night I was doing my thing and he storms the gate waving his hands to get my attention. I'm in the middle of the mix and he invades the booth. Dude says man this music is for "slur" and I looked at him like damn you serious?? Fuck outta my face with that nonsense. Do you not see this is a mix of young and grown people of all ethnicities? He says to me dude please play some Pantera or Slipknot. Just shook my head and threw the headphones back on. Dude went and told the manager and he came to me asked what happen. He said no worries, this his last night anyways, he getting canned!!!!

Had 6 people in one night ask to connect their phones to play music off them in one night. One of which argued with me for 10 minutes that "of course it can hook up, it's an Iphone, it can do anything" When my first reason no was how did she even expect me to connect it.

I know it's possible with the phone, but if you turn up to a party would you really expect the DJ to have the cables to connect a phone. Even if by some chance I did, still....No.

The power of alcohol really hit my crowd last night.....I know we all have gotten it but its been awhile since I've gotten a redonk request.

Drunk Girl: You are so awesome!
Me: Thanks. What you want to hear sweetie?
Drunk Girl: Do you have Spanish music?
Me: Of Course
Drunk Girl: Macarena NOW! Please!!!!!!!!!
Me: Have 20 more drinks and drive home

Then while I'm in the middle of mixing some Pitbull heaters....
Dude: I want to hear some shit I can dance to.
Me:(Pointing to the two dance floors I have packed) Well you can join them. What you want to hear?
Dude: Can you please play some Coldplay Viva La Vida or Human by The Killers? (Mind you Im mixing between Shake and The Anthem)
Me: Ummmm That would be a NO. I played them about 2 hours ago.
Dude: Well can you play American music?
Me: Have 20 more drinks and drive home

Needless to say I needed a fresh Crown and Coke after they both came over.

Caramac 6:59 PM 25 January 2009

Lol at have 20 more drinks.

Has anyone noticed that the more they hear these dumb universal comments and questions the more it irritates them? I find myself shuddering and seeing red mist when I hear.....

''call yourself a dj''
''everyone will dance''

this wasn't while djing per se but still funny as hell. quick background, i've been roommate with this dude for about A YEAR while going to college at the point this convo happens (i had the same turntables the entire time).

i can't rem if i was messing with the turntable or we were just sitting around, but roomie asks me why i need the tonearm/needle on the turntable i give him the obvious wtf look and explain how a turntable works. apparently he thought the platter light was a laser that was reading the records! i asked him how he thought the laser was able to track where it's supposed to be on the record and he really didn't have an answer. i was pretty much too stunned to laugh.

the tables are pdx2000's. i can almost see it on 1200's since they pop up (not really but trying to empathize), but the pdx light's are just little pop on types into an rca connector. crazyness

this is what happens when you download your music, kids.

So she comes up and hands me a folded napkin... Im thinking, great, probably a Britney request. So shes waiting for me to open it, so I do:

"Will you marry me? - Sophia"

Im stunned, and shes still staring at me, and finally asks me "So???"

All I can reply with, is what probably came off as a very sarcastic 'Yes, yes I will.'

She giggled and walked off when I didnt ask for a # or initiate any further conversation... after all, I was DJing..

oops!

dude if she was THAT hot i would have left the booth and went on to live a very happy 24 hours there after lmao.

So now I get to add to the iPhone trend...

Last night I'm rockin a club and these two idiots come up to me and ask me for "FLOOR RIDER - WHITE ROUND" LOL

I knew what song they were talking about (Flo Rida - Right Round) but I didn't wanna play it (because it sucks) so I told them I didn't have. Wouldn't you know it, they come back 5 minutes later with an iPhone asking me to plug it into my laptop and saying "It's 2009, just play it off my iPhone, you can plug it into your laptop"
So I had to tell them, "Yeah it's 2009, but I don't know you and I don't know what you have on your phone and the last thing I need is a virus on my computer"

So I played the other stupid Flo-Rida song instead and that kept them satisfied...LOL

Well, I was out in town one night while off work, OK a Tuesday haha. And I went back to this sheilas place. Did the deed, had a drink then went home.

WHAT A MISTAKE!!!

For about 1month after she kept harrasing me while I was spinning, and I could not get her to F*%^ off... (I wasnt going to go there again as she had showed me she cut herself etc... I got myself into a real situation) Anyway after a month I was sick of her, so I got her banned from the nightclub for 6 months. Thank god. Anyway she came back about 6 months later and said she was sorry and what not and told me she got engaged.

Hmmph!!!

I usually play @ a bar in the hood, but last night I did a guest spot at a Private party at someones (very nice) House and got my first Phone request. I think it was a Instinct, and dude had the little pic with ALBUM ART and everything - asked for a obscure MC Breed track called Seven???

Crowd was lite, and I was lazy and instead of plugging in my Mac, the other DJ said you can just play off my laptop (Windows and I am a mac guy). I do a couple searches, and nope no MC Breed except "Ain't No Future".

Guy then asks - "Well can I plug my phone into your laptop??" I say "it's his laptop and I don't have a cord but you can ask him". I watch dude walk over to the other DJ and dude gets the "get the fuck outta here conversation - LOL.

On a side note, I now know why I spend time tagging and working on my library - dude had more pink tracks in his library than playable ones - crazy.

Lol I had the iPhone request a few weeks ago. Not had one since luckily.

Anyway this weekend. I had some good compliments (shock horror). One girl came upto me with the I want to hear some Britney look on her face so I brace myself for 2 mins of explaining why I don't have her tune why I'm still a dj etc etc. So she goes I just wanted to say I've been married to a dj for 13 years and apart from going to his nights this is the 1st time I've been out in years and liked the way the dj is playing. I was like er ok cheers. She then smiled and walked off.

Shortly after some drunk girl came up to ask me something and poked me in the eye. The ying and yang in the universe was restored.

DJ Michael Basic 8:58 PM 1 February 2009

Girl comes up the other night and says something unintelligible that ended with the word "girls" and the word Nelly. I said, "Huh?" Same thing...I asked, "Promiscuous girl?"

"No no, by Nelly!"

"Um, ok, you're gonna have to speak english."

"Let me see your girls by Nelly"

"Yeah um...I'm pretty sure there's no such song. I'm gonna assume you mean Grillz...which I probably won't play, but if I do, it'll be in about 20 minutes."

She walks over to 2 or 3 of her friends who are not more than 5 feet away from the DJ Booth. Less than 30 seconds later, one of her friends comes over and says (perfectly clearly) "Um...can you play Let Me See Your Girls by Nelly?"

I said, "If you can come back to me and tell me the correct name of the song, I'll play it."

"Let me see your girls."

"I don't have any girls, and Nelly doesn't have a song called let me see your girls."

That was the last I saw of her.

Caramac 9:14 PM 1 February 2009

Lol Basic. I Feel your pain. I had someone yesterday asking for the song called girlfriend. Lol I'm like you're going to have to work with me and give me artist. There are hundreds of songs with the word girlfriend in. Lol.

room213 10:32 PM 1 February 2009

I get that all the time Basic, it's almost as if they think we can't see them standing in groups and coming up one after the other.

Socross 10:56 PM 1 February 2009

I like how people think they can trick us into thinking the whole floor wants to hear a song by sending their friends over to request it. I had that happen last weekend and I kept telling them "tell your friend I will play her song, just not right now." Do they think we're blind or something?

My friend was playing a dubstep set at a house party the other day, we just rolled up at 5AM. Some girls asked for that Lady Gaga track and he laughed and explained all he had were couple dubstep vinyl he still had in the bag. The power was turned off bout half hour later and we found out the girls were the ones who lived in a house- should have satisfied their request..
