    Default punters

    ok so i had my first club gig on friday nite, it was awesome apart from the amount of obnoxious punters asking for pendulum. in these situations i am torn between being polite so as not to be a buzzkill, and telling them to fuck off and die. anyone got any advice about how to politely suggest that said punters go eat a bag of dicks? all ive come up with so far is a stickers for my laptop that says "pendulum is shit"

    Look real grumpy and wear the cheesy t-shirt:

    "F#@k off, I'm mixing"

    yeah like in schoolbusses...the signs in the front saying "do not talk to the driver" u could make a sticker for your laptop saying "do not talk to the dj" something like that.

    It's give and take.

    Tell them you already played it and they should get there earlier. Tell them you'll try to get to it. Tell them you're not taking requests right now but to check back later.

    Put your headphones on and pretend you're trying :-)
    It's the FAQ. Read it.

    good advice, but only gets rid of them one at a time. this was my approach on friday, but it wasnt enough to keep the horde at bay. i guess wat i really should be doing is playing my music to people who want to hear it, not boozed up morons

    I would tell them I would see if I can get it in by the end of my set, if they come back, I would tell them that it really doesn't go with what I'm mixing, if they come back a 3rd time I would tell them to go "F@#K OFF" in a nice way
