The Problem With Being A DJ and Being A Civilian

So this beautiful girl wants me to take her out “dancing”.

She says “Your A DJ. Take Me to a good House night at a club.” (trust me. I tried to use "well I’m a bedroom DJ already.)

I start searching and my head is spinning. What venue, DJ, ambience, etc. ughhhh.

Then I find this cool little venue. Not too big. Not too small. Nice vibes.

But their DJ list is off the wall. The venue is called Electric Pickle and next weekend they have Konrad Black.

I search Konrad Black and find these three videos. What the hell is he going to play next weekend ???

Minimal Tech, Deep House, Disco, … WTF ?

I shouldn’t worry, mate. If she doesn’t know of any “good house nights” whatever you show her will impress.

3

yeah but I would like to be impressed too. :slight_smile:

4

^ this, and some shots, and the club won’t matter.

5

I pity you bro…

Dancing…shiiit…only when I am shit faced!

um…go somewhere outta town…do it…and go home to close the deal.

:slight_smile:

Hmm, you’re interested in DJing, but don’t know where to go to party? Strange thought - how can you relate to the punter’s perspective if you don’t go out dancing yourself? In any case, Konrad Black sounds like a decent option, just go for it :wink:

7

A little from column A, a little from column B and column C as the ‘one more tune’.

Doesn’t seem odd at all to me, he’ll be that deep/tech sound by the looks of it.

8

Yeah, this. Dancer first, dj second.

Electric Pickle is awesome, I’m a big fan.

Can’t wait for the next Rebel Rave there

I shouldn’t worry, mate. If you don’t know of any “good house nights” wherever you go will impress you. :wink:

How can you be known as a DJ but not be at least familiar with the local club runners and event promoters? That’s like inherent information.

12

cute video. doesn’t prove anything except that the video editor can make a mix of his favorite tunes.

I’ve heard mixed reviews of Electric Pickle. Their calendar is wack.

I just hate planning a night and showing up for garbage. Miami is so volatile.

13

Cause they suck. And I go out all the time and hear the same garbage.

Anymore questions idiots?

14

You should show her that side of you, it’ll really impress her.

15

Why does this girls comment seem a little off to me? Wouldn’t it seem more right if she wanted to know more about why you DJ rather than the places you can take her because you’re a DJ?

16

even better, she said “I don’t understand house music. Can we go to a club and experience it?”

That’s why it’s a little difficult to find the right venue and DJ.

17

Maybe you suck, and every one else is good. Lolol

But for real, if these people are out dancing, DJing and generally enjoying ‘the scene’, while you are so far removed that you can’t even come up with a good date idea… Maybe it’s time to take a step back and ask why?

18

Dude this is Miami…there are tons of tight spots that play house music!! What vibe are you looking for. Electric Pickle wouldn’t be my first choice for a date night, unless i was into a techy/underground type of vibe and most girls that want to party to “house” music in this city are into Avicci first. Let me know what vibe you’re looking for.

Take her to the Space terrace at 6am on a night Chus and Ceballos are playing there.

She’ll get it. :expressionless::tada:

Hmmm…this is the father in me coming out, so if you don’t like what I have to say, just ignore it please…:stuck_out_tongue:

How does she know you are a DJ and expects you to know the house scene at Miami, if you are still only a “bedroom DJ” and actually don’t know the scene at all? Could it be you were less humble/ truthful than you should have been to her about your experience as a DJ? I’d say, you created the situation you are in…yourself… and you should find your way out…yourself. My words of advice though are…

Tell her the truth. Tell her that you are actually a DJ noob (maybe not use that exact word), before you go on that date. Tell her it is actually a new experience for you too and thank her for suggesting doing it and it will be a very interesting night. Cause, if you keep up the charade, either she will stay totally blonde and you will be in luck or she will notice you are not really who she expects. Not good!:slight_smile:
