Live djing mistakes?

[Mike_08]

Even the Top DJ's make mistakes

I've seen Eric Morillo forget to turn the bass knob back up on the track he just mixed in and I've seen Max Vangeli (in Amnesia, Ibiza) mess up a mix with not beatmatching a track properly. I don't actually mind the odd mistake like this because it goes to show no matter how big you are as a DJ there will always be room for a little mistake.

Haha, oh yes, forget about the "forgotten bass". Happened to me as well, took the bass out somewhen for a short break-down or whatever. Forgot to turn it back on for a minute

One time I played a Mariah Carey Christmas song. Of course it was during a set at a Christmas party, and it was a remix, but still... definitely an unacceptable mistake. Shit still haunts me...

Not a mistake, but the fire alarm went off in the club I was playing in and that instantly kills the power to the amps, then when they come back on the bass amps take a full minute longer than everything else to come back up. Everyone was shouting for their bass back haha.

Best part about it was the face he pulled. Imagine Eric Morillo with an expression like a sex doll... Or what I'd imagine a sex doll to look like. *Shifty eyes*

Talk about building tension before the drop

Like ya classic bass off mistake, I have left the filter knob slightly twisted on for a minute or two.

Lame... but super rushy when you notice it and fix it.... BOOOOM

Lol yeh, it can actually work in your favour if it's not too much of a cut, few people will consciously notice it and it makes for a nice BAM on the next drop.

Forgot I was playing the VIP of a song (recently got released) and it dropped 16 bars too early messed up the double drop!

There's plenty of videos of big DJ's messing up because they're caught in the moment or enjoying themselves/their music too much. It's not a bad thing in my opinion.
