Hi guys,
Had somewhat of an unsuccessful gig today.
Played at a friend's party at a banquet area for free as a present.
He wanted me to play a rave type set (Loads of Electro, Hardstyle, and Trance)
30 Minutes into the set, I him wanting to plug an iPod in and play 'grinding music' and some sort of classical ethnic music. He asked me to switch it in the middle of a hardstyle mix train. I had to oblige, ruining the atmosphere i tried to build completely.
This happened 10 times throughout the night- these short, 2-3 song intervals from an iPod. My mates had had it at the time, but this trend kept persisting.
I left early since I gave up at the time.
Went home and got an interesting opinion from the parents. I was supposed to play whatever he wanted and whenever regardless.
Yet I was knowingly hired with a clear definition of the music I should provide
Am I wrong here for standing up and saying I have a reputation to protect?
Have you guys faced something similar?
Discuss!
