i had a guy tip me too play a song and when i played it he had left the club an came back like an hour later asking when was i going to play his song i told him i all ready had played it at wich point he called me a liar. i told him to take his money back. i work in a top forty club and i take requests all the time if it’s innapropriate or just doesn’t feel the vibe i tell them i don’t have it period end of discussion. smile and move on. what i hate is the girl who says when ya going to play something to dance too. then when i ask what they want to hear they say what ya got. i got no time for that, thats what i got. i smile turn around an go back to work they usually get the message.
my friend Cory came up with a pretty straight forward solution to that problem… photographed below
ha yea, maybe not exactly the way most of us would like to come of, but it worked for him. good times. - S
haha nice one! I dig the whole “when you gonna play some music” from some top40 girl. I play a mixture of underground gigs, where they love anything that theyv never heard before; right through to mobile disco type events, when friends who know I’m a DJ think, “ah, you could DJ at my wedding” type thing - thus I freak out when I look at my library and find no summer of '69 etc..
I did a school prom recently, parents and teachers included, with my new laptop, which i’d only had a chance to put about 150 new songs on. There was Summer of 69, Livin on a prayer, and a lot of michael jackson + about 50 hard dubstep tracks, and a ska album. That wasn’t a fun 2 hours for me… but I still got £100 at the end of the night, and free food and drink 
who gives a shit about those events anyway.. no1s gna built you’r rep as a DJ on them unless you really wanna do weddings!
hahaha nice 
my mate was asked to do an indian wedding 
haha he has no idea what to play as they have requested that indian songs be played heh i wonder if he will go through with it 
thts a bit scary.. 
Once I was at a pretty grimey drum n bass night in the proper cellar of a bar. Packed out, jump up, hard drum and bass etc, quality night. I was a bit fucked so I thought I’d mess about…
“You got any Pendulum mate? That Slam tune?”
Joke was * definitely * lost on that guy and his crew.
Oh well
haha I love it
That is hands down the funniest thing I’ve seen all day!
20 years ago I worked in a club that had a booth that was about 10 feet above the floor. People would write down their requests, complaints, and love notes and throw them up into the booth. It would piss me off to no end when there little piece of paper would land on the record playing. We finally put up some wire up to keep that crap out. I can’t complain to much though cause one of the chief note throwers is in the next room getting ready for bed. I found out a couple of years ago that she told all her friends back then she was going to marry me.
lucky for me most requests I get are for shit I don’t have. Unfortunately that doesn’t keep some people for repeatedly asking for the same song I don’t have and just standing there like it’s going to make a difference. One time I got a request for a song I didn’t have but the girl told me where I could download it for free. I took the 5 seconds, downloaded the song and played it.
Could use an FX transition, you know, the stuff that doesn’t require BPM’s.
What happened to the good old days you could kick someone in the dick and they went away. Chrimany, patrons these days.
EPIC thread res haha. I was like, wow, ean posted on something thats on the first page wat?
cough cough damn cobwebs
dont look at me, I wasnt the one who necroposted lol
very cute. I usually will either have them write it on a piece of paper or right then say I dont think I have it to be honest but Ill check in a few. The bad thing when you play what they request they will keep coming back and bothering you for more.
The very worst which is what I deal with a lot is when you are playing electro and someone will come up and ask for hiphop/top40s and when you switch other people will come up and asking what happened to the electro. Moral of the story is you cant please everyone, so ya gotta deal with it and keep your cool so you can stay focused.
I knew I would get crap for that.
don’t worry, this is actualy somewhat timeless thread and should be necroed every now and then..
great will use that one
