My worst experience was when I was opening up for Jon the Dentist here in Buffalo. Everything was going well, the crowd was going nuts...it was packed...I was soooooo into the whole atmosphere. As I was cueing up my next record, I went to go pick the needle up off the record and bring it back to the beginning to wait to throw it in. I picked up the wrong needle, the sound cut...I looked up...said "oh shit" and then threw it back down and everyone just kept going. Hehehe....only those right up by the decks knew what happened so it was alright...haha.

I don't know if I'd rate it in the worst experiences but another thing I used to hate was when I would be playing somewhere and taping the evening and everything would be going real good....and right in the middle of a killer set, the owner or manager of the club would walk up and ask me to make an announcement....usualy something real stupid like "Would the owner of the white Toyota please move your car...you're blocking someone in." It always seem to happen when I was recording the evening, too. I don't know, some DJs seem to like to get on that old microphone and yak away.....I never really did like having to make announcements....even last call....but ya gotta do what ya gotta do, I guess.

ahh youre all rookies when it comes to worst experiences, check this out, my first set, cpl yrs back, small club, 30 ppl, all friends... anyhow, i dropped e 2 hrs before my set, and i felt nothing, i go up to start my set, first record, i start rushing like crazy, first 4-5 mixes, disasterous one train wreck after another lol, but it was cool after that, everyone there was fucked so they didn't mind... i still drop ocasionally when i spin... anyone else drop?

No, it totally fucks my concentration because I get carried away with other stuff, thus no paying attention to the task at hand. Drinking on the other hand....Red Bull and Vodka....

true, concentration is fucked, but i dunno, i get to enjoy my set more and i feel i have a better set than when im sober... and i rarely drink...

i dropped once while spinning

i was playing this new years party, and i dropped two hit a little bit b4 my set, by the time i came up to play, i was rolling hardcore
my set was all hard trance and house, and it kept getting deeper, b4 my second last mix, i was so into it, i was running around and huggin the speakers

anywho, the moral of the story is...
damn, i forgot

now i only drink REV when spinning

Mine was I was opening up at a small gig one time not many people it was ummer last year the floor filled as I dropped each record and things were going like a dream i played Dj Hitch Hiker Presents Lunatic Asylum Cabal Energy flow the tiesto remix and as soon as it hit the breakdown all was looking cool, so I got cocky and danced around, and as soon as the track kicks back in I went a little too crazy and ended up hitting the arm causing the record to skip badly! and I've never been so embrassed in my whole life! everybody turned to see me freze on the spot with a red face never agin will I jump around like a twat while playing!

I have had a really good laugh reading everybodys most embarrassing experience as a Dj he he he @ you guys.
I have only been DJing at a few private parties and one bigger out in the woods kinda party but I haven´t failed any yet *phuu* . People who´s not in to mixing music (like the crowd) usually never hear when the Dj plays wrong or make a bad mix

Hehehe. Try to top this one. hehehe.
At a party, I came up after a breakbeat DJ.
2 minutes into the first song, some dude raised up the sign "Say no to Trance." The promoter promptly dragged the kid out to the back. I, on the other hand, rocked the party. LoL
