Hey all!

Im wondering if anyone has any stories regarding times when a DJ has stormed off stage and the (possible) reasons why he/she did so.

I heard about Sasha and Digweed when Sasha dumped the equip in a swimming pool...and someone mentioned Tiesto storming off at one point.

Anyone want to elaborate on some stories???

Thanks

Sasha dumped the equipment in the pool because the guy that hosted the party wouldn't give him the minidiscs of the show. Sasha was pretty ..messed up.. and mixed really really really well as a result. He wanted the minidiscs so he could recreate some of the stuff for a GU release.

Tiësto was really, really close to picking up the turntables and throwing them at one of the Gatecrasher's last year; he said it himself.

Here's what Tijs said about it...

quote:

Yeah, the Gatecrasher NEC experience was quite rough for me. When I started playing a lot of things weren’t plugged in right. So the sound was really bad in the beginning and the turntable didn’t work and my two CD players didn’t work either. It took half an hour before it started to work. And even then I only had one CD player and one turntable, so I didn’t even have 2 turntables when I was playing. So I was a bit focusing on everything to keep going and of course a bit pissed off, but for the rest I played real good and I think everybody had a great time that night. It was such a shame, because I was really looking forward to it. That same night I played in Ireland as well in the beginning of the evening and my plane was delayed for two hours. I was supposed to play at 23.00h, but I only arrived at 01.30h at the venue, so I only had half an hour to get on stage again. It was all together one of those nights that everything that could go wrong went wrong, but yeah … shit happens.

Reports from people who work with Tiësto said that that the fireworks didn't go off at Traffic, and mentioned a couple of other things. Folks in the audience said that Tiësto looked extremely pissed.

I think Sasha threw the turntables into a lake/swamp at Homelands one year because they were absolute shite and were making his and Digweed's mixes trainwrecks... not exactly sure but I think I remember reading this somewhere.

When Tiesto was last in Sydney, he hit stop and stormed off stage right in the middle of Adagio for Strings

The local DJ playing after him unplugged Tiesto's headphones and plugged his own in, apparently this is enough of an affront to make him storm offstage

Don't even get started on that one
There was an argument for about 6 pages on inthemix about that.

We would've had that argument, but we were too busy arguing about Afterburn - Fratty Boy vs Afterburn - North Pole

Ditto.

Think it meant that the local DJ unplugged Tiesto's while Adagio For Strings was on.

Presumably to cue up his next track.

Maybe Tiesto has to unplug his own headphones.
