    "What? what are you saying? I can't hear you. Talk to the hand!" Or maybe we could get like a sex-doll and say "hey talk to her!"

    I understand why you try to squeeze a music to make someone happy but let's be straight with it. A dj is an artist, otherwise you could just do a playlist and hit play. You should be taking attention to the dancefloor but still taking attention to yourself. You're playing your music not theirs, that's why you were called to play that exact night.
    If the request fits on what you're trying to do on your set, sure why not but if it doesn't it'll just ruin your experience. Djs are about public experiences right? Otherwise what is your difference from the other ones?

    Once I had a girl coming to me like 10 times and saying "hey, put this one" after saying 9 times that I don't have it or "just wait a little longer and i'll get it" I just said "look... do you want to take my place?" she left unhappy but I don't really care. 1 in 100.

    Other time a club manager asked me to change from minimal to brazilian music to which I replied "you asked me to come here and play my music if you don't want it well, just get someone else here no problems with that". He understood, later that night other guy went into to the booth but you shouldn't be mad about that. You were playing your music, it wasn't fit, that's all.

    disagree.

    i would call what ean says a white lie, for the sake of keeping everyone happy for the moment, because thats what its all about in the club when the booze is flowing. that exact moment, which the person who asked u for that song probably forgot about next morning.

    At a bar, i would ask for a 5 or a 10 from a guy but not from girls. You want to keep them happy for the most part.

    at a club you need 3 things:

    a) be left alone to focus
    b) them to be happy dancing on the floor
    c) the customer to leave happy


    so smile, give them my complete attention and say- yes, i will certainly try and work that in. or just give them the thumbs up and not say anything. Then return immediately to working. They go away happy, and if they return again I simply say. Sorry, i looked for it and i don't have that song. no matter what you have to try and get rid of them quickly and keep everyone happy. i find lying works really well for that.
    Or even better, say usually I'd charge a tenner but for you I'll do it for free

    If i ve played it, i say so. If i haven't got it, i say so. if it doesn't go with the style/genre, i say so. But i love it most whenever i've said: " No i won't play it cuz that song is s**t and i don't like it, im sure even the artist who released it hates it too"
