ever witness a dj perform while he was wacked out ?

on a illicit substance



i haven't but i have seen some videos of those vision quest guys

and it made me wonder

was it a pleasant experience ? were they able to hold it together ?


or was it a complete train wreck ?

I don't think Seth Troxler has ever had a sober night behind the decks.

add paul oakenfold to the list, although he has surely run out of seratonin by now


same with a lot of the older guys I'm sure

LOL, plenty of times. Sasha was hilariously mashed behind the decks when I saw him way back in 2000. And I mean MASHED Still managed to spin an awesome set though, I have to say.

Yea, I've seen Sasha drunk out of his mind both times I saw him.

And no, he didn't play a great set as a result

Oh, it was definitely drugs when I saw him. No question.

Also, relevant:

Drugs are the best!!

You da man, Sushi!

PS. Alcohol is a drug

From what I've heard around the forum, he's like the Oakenfold of alcoholics.

Alcohol is a drug? No...

Yeah, ok, but you know what I meant

I should also specify that the pic isn't mine, it was just something someone on the boards here posted years ago that I still find mega funny to this day. He just looks so terrified

Saw Prydz play mashed out of his mind. Think it was the booze. He kept playing this same fucking loop over and over for like 10 minutes. Didnt read the energy of the crowd at all either. But then again, it is also partly my fault because I was young dumb and naive to think a short set at a popular festival was going to be anywhere near good. You live and learn.

Someone post those Peter Hook vids from years back. He was definitely on something.

I'm not sure if he was on something inasmuch as he was just enthusiastically pretending to do far more than he actually was (not unlike a lot of DJ's, really, though Hook takes it to a whole other level of bullshit).

I like how in this video his actual attempts at DJ'ing do nothing more than kill the audio.

That hook video.

I always assumed not a single person was sober during this either.

Ya that Sven clip is the probably the most wrecked I've ever seen someone while dj'ing...except for that trance dj with the beer gut who is shirtless and mashed into an alternate universe.

What was his name? Woody van something?

Originally posted by Robotrance i remember this local dj so wacked on LSD thinking he could adjust pitch using psychokinesis/telekinesis. it was funny how he stared at the pitch and whenever the beats randomly hit each other (like it always will at times) he smiled probably thinking he managed it.

That's just our Woody van Eyden full throttle and probably totally sober. I think you'll need to go back to the 90's to find Dutch DJ's totally wacked. I know Mental Theo once threw up over his gear causing a power breakdown which lasted for two hours. After that it was only water for him while DJ-ing.

Here you go, Woody is awesome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbqM8eKepmQ

I was hoping he was on drugs bc if he's not he just looks like a fucking mess sober.

LOL it just drags on and on. Hilariously painful

Ooook there's that Troxler video, I couldn't find it.

It's just hot and he's not the youngest DJ around, now 51.
He's pretty good at air-drumming though
