i recently heard story about a friend's gig (back in chicago) in which. . .like many of these dj stories begin. . . some drunk girl bounces up to the dj booth begging/demanding for hip hop. . . he shakes his head like he don't know wtf she's talking about. . . she gets all pissed off and gives him the finger. . . danny motions her over back to the booth, about to say something nasty to her. . .instead, when she leans over the booth, her hair catches fire on one of the candles by the dj booth!

:dancepuff

story time!

Hmmm......let's see. I don't have anything to exciting, but one time a guy asked me for a smirnoff ice. I told him I wasn't the bar, but I guess he thought I was just messin with him, then he got really persistant, and luckily a couple of his buddies came and hauled him off.
Another time, I was havin a really good set. Still one of the best I've spun. Then is really little drunk guy comes up and set his beer right on the edge of the booth above my second deck, and asks me to play some hip-hop. I was feeling really good about my set at the moment and got really pissed at the guy and told him to go fuck himself. He tryed to grab his beer quite forcefully and knocked right onto the record that was playing. I pulled the tonearm up really quick so only a little got on the needle, but it sounded so bad, and totally messed up the whole vibe I had going. Just imagine some really deep and groovy progressive breaks flowing along nicely, then this crash and the sound of a needle dragging across a record. I picked up the now mostly empty can and threw at the guy and called him a fucking retard. He was really drunk so he just looked can confused and happy that he had fucked up my set since I wouldn't play his precious hip-hop. I then pulled off a bit soggy and sticky East by Rabbit in the Moon and Humat, and put on The story of the Heaviest Bass line by Zinger meets Spry, and had the place going again pretty quickly. But damn I was pissed. I was trippin when all this happened and that messed it all up too, so I was even more pissed. I think I could have crushed his head with my bare hands. Grrr......just thinkin about it makes me soooo mad!!

Aside from being asked for hip-hop all the time (as if these people even know what real hip-hop is) I have no crazy stories like that.

I feel you there, not only do they as for hip-hop, they don't even know what the fuck hip-hop is. They just want the new single by some knew gangster rapper. AHHHH. That stuff pisses me off so much. Hip-hop used to be a driving force that stopped a lot of violence in the neighborhoods where it was born, now it's an instigator of that violence. Absolute Shit.

I have had two great requests.

One girl asked me "to play dance music, but not like techno".

Then on night I played Chicane - Autumn Tactics (Thrillseekers mix) into PvD - For an Angel. I was playing at a more main stream club. Someone came into the booth and asked me when I was going to start playing trance.

Anything else was stupid shit I did. Like bumping the tone arm and sending the needle scratching across the record at 2am in front on 900 people. That was pretty cool.

Can we start a thread where you explain what hip-hop is? I've seen you post this a few times, but I've never seen any explaination.

(I'm being serious, because I'd really like to know.)

I have plenty of stories, but while we are on the subject of hip hop....

I was playing a club on West Coast (I am not going to mention it. but it was a big time thing). Some guy came over and asked me if he could spin a couple of tunes from his bag. I said what kind of music. He said Hip hop. I mean common - the crowd is jumping and dancing to hard house and trance and Progressive and you are going to ask to play hip hop. I basically told him to beat it. He was pissed. What was I supposed to do?

Another one, At another place some girl asked me to play some Guns'n'roses. ???????

I'm always asked to play Hip-HOp. One time at Spank this girl offered to do some crazy shit to me for some hip-hop music. I have also been offered drugs to play hip hop. But one time this dude gave me 100 so I dropped a biggie track for him( which I didn't mind because I love biggie). That was the only time I have submitted to a request.

A few times when I was dropping my shit off in the booth, I've been asked to play hip-hop as well. I told them that I'd drop some Ja Rule as soon as I was up. I don't even DJ.

I have nothing really out of the ordinary or anything different than whats been said here so far... the hip hop thing is always an issue, ive also gotten the occasional.. "can you play something i can dance to?", hmmmm... the past Happy Ending party before ruben showed up, a group of guys came and heard the cd that the bar was playing (it was really bad music, mostly it was terrible counrty music) and they came up to me and were like.. "are you gonna be spinning this all night?" lol i wasnt even spinning yet :p, they ended up staying all night and at one point halfway thru the night the same guy came up to me and appologized...

one funny thing that i remember that stuck out was playing at a place in upstate NY, must have been like 3-400 people and it was an outdoors party by the river with tiki torches everywhere... the vibe was awesome and some really really bangin tribal beats were being played. I dropped a track (cant remember the name) that had a spanish vocal in it... and some girl that had no idea about the music came up to me and was like... "can you play club music?" and i was like.. ummmm this is club music, then she was like.. "well can u please NOT play any spanish music?" lolol


Finally, at a club i was just done mixing, so i went to change records... but i lifted the tonearm from the record that was playing live lol... all you heard was a silence.. i was like.. WTF did i just do!! then i slowly put the needle back down, and i dont think anyone noticed :p lol
