OMFG i am in the same situation!

a friend from school is doing the same thing. we r orginising a PARTY with about 400 and im headlining but here he is telling me what to do and he want to do a fucing set, so im going to let him.
i thought it would had been a good idea for him to warm up because he aint use decks (just computer , thinking hes the best fucing DJ)and he plays like ministry stuff and chem bros. so i thought yeah that would be good to get people in the groove for the first hour. then me with an intro and playing for the next 4 hours.
i could have been straight foreward and told him your not doing shite. but the people where i live are into alot of ministry which is good but havent heard to much trance but so far from other partys there lovin it even though they dont know it is trance.

well also sound is so important when it comes to DJ. Well the so called comp DJ wad telling me i only need 4, i told in a way you are MAD!! i said i need to monitiors so i can hear the fucing mix properly so i said i need 6 speakers 4 for the floor and two monitors facing out two the floor behind me.
the next day he tells me ooohhhh sound is every thing, and im like thank god he learnt something.

the set times were for him tellin me was:

me 2hrs
him 1hrs
me 2hrs

i thought it would be good for

him 1hrs (so everyone can get there on time without having to miss the start of my set)
me 4rhs till end

GOD give me strength as i still have alot more issues than this with this guy for our "THE GAS" night Party!!!!

give me advice on bloody self displine for me as i should be telin him what to do. but yo see this guy is pretty high in the food chain at school!!!!!!

although everyone likes my djing as they know me for being DJ FURBY PLAYING MY DOOFF DOOOF TECHERRRSSS!!!!
but im like fuck off my nick name is only FURBY not dj furby.
My dj name is MATT ZEE.

but i cant wait for this night it is going to be great!!!!!

man i could talk about this for eva!!!

cheers

but i still have to cut some slac for them as they are noobs when it comes to DJING AND EDM

Hmm no. 6 is pretty strange and i have seen a quite a few no. 8's in my area, they act like they are the shizat. Oh man and no. 4's...holly my area is filled with complete jackasses. As if i never knew it...but they are just kids...they will learn...right?

dude what made you bring this thread up!
im sure many can relate too?
r u in the same position?

m8 you are a champ im going to school to hang this up in my LOCKER

THANKS!

#7...eddie halliwell just chirps & such. No hardcore scratching like Micheal Conway

How about adding the one who plays "his own" brand of uber-specific tunes no matter whats happening on the dance floor or what anyone else wants to listen to? And forgets he's playing to a crowd (probebly not only not into say acid house but have no idea wtf it is), not to his technicly minded and musically informed ego.

Nah, i was doing the laundry and was really bored so i tried to think of something that made me laugh.

Dervish: That would be numer 10.
Remember, he is not a musically informed DJ, he is just... shite.

Its all so true!! Its funny where they have no clue that they mix hip-hop and hard trance together. When that happens its just plain sad. lol

Except he scratches the live record - completely cutting the tune up, fucking up the whole flow.
