Name a surprising skill you need to be a DJ

[DJ Abide]

In response, a bladder of steel. Nothing is more stressful, painful and distracting than going through a 4 hour mix with a bladder full of energy drinks.

Really? I'm always running to the pisser, the bar, or outside to rip a bowl. I remember my dad telling me everytime "Cat Scratch Fever" came on the radio that the DJ must be taking a shit. I haven't had to take a shit yet, but I'll gladly let The Nuge blare in the name of me taking a peaceful crap.

Irish Coffee perhaps ?

Legit.

Still…kinda *shiver*. But I don't like milk in coffee very much (Traditional Irish Coffee is coffee + irish cream…ideally made by shaking whole milk or cream with whiskey). I guess it'd be fun with just a shot in a cup of coffee.

Still…IDK why you'd do that as opposed to just double-fisting espresso and whiskey.
But I also haven't had many Irish Whiskeys that I liked…not the case with Scotch, Bourbon, or Rye, though. Still…"Kentucky Coffee" doesn't have the same ring…"Edinburgh Espresso" has a nice ring to it, though……too bad lowland scotch isn't better.

But I have seen JD + Redbull being served before *shiver*

I've also seen cosmopolitans and "appletinis". That doesn't make it a real thing.

Yeah. I spin varieties of house than can lead in a Sasha/Digweed-esque classic trancey deep direction. 10 minute tracks aren't hard to come by there.

Song selection and Flow...nothing worse than someone spinnin a Dirty dutch banger with high energy and massive drops to some trance track that seems to go on forever...

Being able to handle stress.

There's always something happening that fucks your mind up, such as equipment suddenly refusing to work or annoying and/or drunk people harassing you to play the Spice Girls while you try to make a decent mix. I've had beginner DJs at my side that at a certain point just bursted out in tears and started throwing with stuff because they couldn't handle it anymore...

HAHAHAHA....have had similar!

Usually its me being relentless and JUST CANING it....some survive...some don't.

Immunity to cocaine and other fun, I mean illegal, powders.

LOL...being "impervious to poison"
!

Song selection is a skill you were surprised that a DJ needed?

jaeger bomb!!!

I fail to understand the meaning of your statement.

[sarasin]

Does not compute huh?

Its a Jägermeister shot dropped into RedBull.

Sounds Nasty....and it is.
Works tho!

[mostapha]

No, I understand what it is. I have no idea why it came up as a result of that post.

And jagerbombs aren't disgusting. But I love red bull.

[sarasin]

I love Jager...but not Red Bull.

I posted the reply...as you were mentioning....Energizing drinks...and odd nasty coffee ones.

So I tossed that one in there.
