Tell the club/you to sort out some proper isolation so.

I sense an unseen metaphorical jab here even if you're not.

pff i've notice in a club a strange problem i guess is similar to what you complain, i believe it's because has a tall ceiling, the kick sounds like it had loads of reverb and you beatmatch on your headphones the track but when you throw it live sounds a little trainwrecking :S it's a bit annoying because only happens with the kicks that have a lot of low end, mainly in house tracks, with trance tracks happens less often.

And yes, i think everybody had had a request like that above, i've been requested the "happy birthday" song a few times, and don't try to explain that this track don't fits in the middle of a particularly energetic house set.

At least you have arms to DJ with!!! I have to use my nose...

lol

I hate when people roll up in the club and head straight to the dj booth and say "yo play this song and this song and this song". who do they think they are!

some responses:

i'm not a jukebox
go dance for a little and then i'll play some of your songs
i dont have it
ok (then dont play it) they come back up "i already played it didn't you hear it!!"
i just played it sorry

A fellow dj once told me some chick went up to him while he was playing, and asked for something really obscure like Britney or something. And he pretended he couldn't hear her, and said "Whaaat?". So she asked again, now slightly louder, and he replies "Whaaat?", slightly louder. And this goes back and forth a couple of times more, until she's practically yelling "CAN YOU PUT ON SOME BRITNEY SPEARS?!?!?" just as he cuts all the sound. Cue laughter.

Your mother?

Can't believe that hadn't come up by now.

chicks are so heavy... if a boy comes to ask for a song usually will ask for something related to what you are playing (eg. if you are playing trance they ask for Tiesto - Traffic for example) but chicks ask for a variety of shit that a dj simply can't have in his wallet or if they have can't play because yes, the girl will be so happy that you played his request but... the rest of the club will surely be so annoyed.

When i faced a particularly group of them who was suggesting that they could do better invited them to the booth stopped the music and let them show their talent.

I'd only ever do this if i lived in a small town where the 'night club' i was in was the only watering hole around, and knew the owner of the night club didn't mind me taking the piss

nah this was long time ago when i mixed in small clubs, in this particularly there was no need of a dj as they usually left a cd with pre-recorded music playing , often screwed due to some drink spilt on it, so people were quite used to this , in addition the booth wasn't really a booth, just a bit more than a high table where everyone can walk in and see what are you doing. I found this pretty annoying and i am happy that my period of beggar-dj ended.
