remember that in the uk the trance scene is very small these days. most do not like trance even tho they were buying system f - out of the blue a few years ago and loving it. im not gonna change my style (which i am proud of and have taken since 98 to build) to play shitty commercial music - this is all that the majority of 'university/college' parties are about. the majority are very un cultured and only care about getting drunk. most of the time the dj is just there for the fact that the organiser can say "we got a dj at our party" or for a wannabe dj to get his/her first set.

Believe me, I live in Finland - I know what small trance scene means.

I guess it's the fact that everyone at the parties I've been to are closer to 25 than 20 so they act accordingly as well...

I find this dificult to understand/believe.


When the floor is going up & down over an inch at 135 bpm I think that is too many Gs, it's happened at 2 diffrent house parties where I had my stuff. Mostly caused by a few excited people jumping up & down so the bumps are quite sharp. Lots of houses are not very solidly built in my area.

In clubs sometimes they buld a concrete footing anchored to the basement and the DJ table sits on that. So the table is rock solid while the dance floor bounces around.

Man, what kind of houses do you have around there?

LOL well these were old houses, I guess the joist wood in the floors was not too strong. Strong enough for the usual stuff but not partying.

Even in my modern house a man walkig quickly will cause the floor 10 feet away to move noticeably - they should have put extra beams underneath to support the joist boards better. Cheapskate builders.

I think people actually care about the music thats being played at houseparties because I have seen dj's clear dancefloors at houseparties. Also why are people idiots and decide to friggin touch the record while its playing and then scratch with it...wtf are you kidding me? I must have at least 15-20 records with huge scratch marks from idiots bumping the tonearm while trying to "scratch." I actually after this year am stopping house parties...I get paid way to little for the amount of stuff I bring

(In case you were wondering, I get about 100 dollars a night for house party)

Sounds like a law suit waiting to happen.

Yeah, when we threw house parties basically what we did was put a whole bunch of the "POLICE LINE DO NOT CROSS" yellow tape lines across the room a generous distance in front of the dj booth. So no one could get even close. Something like that is the way to do it...

There is a club here used to be called Proscenium, they have floor boards that would move when there was enough people in the room dancing.

Anything audio/visual is always technical complications/problem prone. DJing is a larg part of that, whether it be the house party or in teh club be prepared for tough conditions that someties seem possible.
