dealing with party guest

[tekki]

Or, if you're doing a Techno set: "Sprechen zie Deutsche? Yah, Ubercoolische!"

"Sprechen sie Deutsch? Yah? Supertoll!"
or
"Spriechst du Deutsch? Yah? Ganz geil!"
LOLz. One of the advantages of being dutch.


But... To get back on the requesting business. When I used to be an MC, I would cut off people that would try to herass the DJ.
(yeah yeah, I used to be an MC, and most important of all, I knew how to shut up and let the DJ shine in the spotlights!)
You could try to set that up.

You could always get one of these. It's tax-deductible, too.

Before I was a DJ I never understood why other DJs wouldn't play my requests, as I figured they were sure to get people on the floor.

The reality is, people don't even know what you're doing up there, and why you have a set a headphones.

There's no point in becoming frustrated with people, because I'm sure that if they understood your role as the DJ that they would leave you alone...

So I guess I would try to explain why I can't play the track or whatever, you know? Or if you don't have the time, just lie and say you don't have the song.

this is an good idea

orca: it really does depend on the scene you're in. In the scene I DJ in (goth/industrial) there are nights based entirely off of requests, and nights where the DJs refuse to take them. Both are hit and miss. Hell, I have a huge divide with the guys I work with because they have an 'open CD policy' of 'you bring it, we spin it'. So I started spinning on my laptop so I can say "Sorry, no CD requests." People aren't always happy, but, well, there are other DJs for things like that. I call them juke boxes. :-)

In America, if you are at somebody's party, I can almost guarantee at some point someone will ask for hiphop or rap no matter what you are playing.

DvlsAdvct:yes,juke box dj is the right name!hmmm i'm glad to play in the underground where people understand that an dj needs his workspace to bring the story that they enyoy!!!i love psytrance

I would go back and agree with the little lie, just to get them out of the way right away.
