Fellow DJs, I need your help discusing anouying requests.

I was playing a commercial club the other year, all danceable tempo stuff (as you do) and this girl repeatedly kept asking for shite. Stuff like Florence and the Machine or Adele. I said I cant play it as it isnt club type music, all the punters will leave and ill get sacked. This didnt stop her coming back with more songs she liked, but werent fit for a club. Her boyfriend was like "ignore her, shes got a shit taste in music!". Haha.

A bit later on in the night, (im up on a long stage) I notice a movement out the corner of my eye, as I turn around this girls arm is in the air, I quickly lift up my arm to stop whatever it is she is doing and feel wet all over me, my arm, face and quickly turn around to see its gone all over my laptop, club mixer and cdjs (industry standard). I kill the music, get on the mic saying "THIS GIRL HAS JUST TIPPED WATER ALL OVER THE MIXER AND CD DECKS AND THERE WILL BE NO MORE MU...PZZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTT", that it, the mixer started sparking! Doormen grab this girl. Police, ironically have turned up for something else (I think someone walked past and kicked a window of a door). Shes on the floor, 2 doormen holding her down. Police bend down to talk to her and she kicks him in the face on purpose!! Wrong move. Nicked! Turns out she was some manager working for the Council. Bit of a chav. Has to go go court, has to pay club for new mixer & 1 CDJ (hired anyway) and I got £150 compo for damages to my laptop (which I didnt even ask for) and my laptop was fine with some quick taking apart in the club and blue roll and much laying upside down for a few days.

To top it off, the cheque for the £150 was in full and not £1 a week for 150 weeks! HURRAH!

Turns out she'd gone to the bar and asked for a pint of water and walked straight up to the stage. The bar staff twigged on, but was way too far away before they realised what was going on.

Lovely people about eh.

A “Get Out Of Jail” Card

No, I don’t literally mean the card from Monopoly. What I’m actually talking about is a small pamphlet, brochure, or sheet which tells people what the night you’re playing is about and what kind of music to expect.

I love this idea.

Luckily for me, shit like this happens quite a lot in commercial clubs so there are ALWAYS bouncers on the stairs to the stages

Thats part of your job as the DJ, to politely deal with drunk people.

From the man himself:

lol i was doing a wedding this past weekend. (my last, I fuckin hate them, it was a favor for a friend)

And I have a packed floor, people are really dancing (20-40 yr olds). And this little kid comes up and says he wants to hear "freestyle", wtf that is, I have no idea. So I tell him "sorry I dont think I have that one" so he says "well your a crappy dj then".

I was like WTF???

Than more kids are asking for Harlem Shake, but I know if I play it I will kill the floor. So I told em I didn't have it. Then they got all pissed off. And started rallying others and talking shit. I couldn't believe it!!!

So like 30 mins before my set was over, I just jumped on the mic, and was like "ok guys, thanks for having me, hope you had fun". Played 1 more tune and got the freak out of there.

Needless to say, the Brides parents called me the next day, and thanked me for the awesome job I did, and that they gave my number out to like 4 other people. They even gave me a $50 tip on the final bill.

Well the client was happy and that's really all that matters.
