The first time i changed songs and they all kept dancing like nothing happened.
WORST: I was doing a gig and was told it was a 2am finish. 2 am came, i played my last song and started to pack up. Everyone just stood and stared at me... The manager ran over and said "Karl, its 2:30 finish, play some fucking music"... i was mega embarrassed.
BEST: End of year gig at a big Student Union where i was resident. Last song of the nite was The Beatles - All You Need Is Love. At the end of the song the beatles chant "she loves you yeah yeah yeah, she loves you yeah yeah yeah"... the song ends and the house lights came up and a 1000 people sang it back to me but changed it to "We Love Karl yeah yeah yeah" i had tears in my eyes. I felt very blessed that nite.
ejecting the wrong cdj is always embarassing
isnt that what the "eject lock" function was designed for haha.. pressing CUE on the wrong track is as bad as ejecting too lol...
I once worked a new years eve in 2 bars, 1st bar i worked from 8.30pm till 1pm, then the other bar i worked in was having an after party for a gig somewhere else. It was a cosy affair, about maybe 500 people in the bar when full and it was full. I had probably only been Dj'ing in and around the town centre for maybe 6 months. I knew a few of the other Dj's from the other bars but not them all. Anyway they all seemed to be here in my bar as everywhere else was shut (it was many years ago b4 late license' where about) I played till 6am and after the last song had finished i received a round of applause from everyone in there but the thing that meant the most to me was the other Dj's from around the town centre all came up to me and said "good job Paul, wicked night" sort of felt like i had been accepted as a Dj by the others

notable moment: when a girl flashed me a few years back.
BEST: When I managed to save the day in a high school when the original planning of the director was ruined by a sudden rain. Everyone was really upset but I managed to move all my stuff (I was there just to have a playlist playing) indoors and rocked for 2 hours 1:00 till 3:00 in the afternoon without a single drin allowed. They even let the busses waiting to take the students because everybody was having such a great time and they booked me for all the following events of the high.
WORST: When I was starting out and my laptop crashed and we run out of music for almost 2 min. the good thing was the promoter helped keep the energy up and everyone was singing to the last song before the crash. So no one really bothered.
