this is kinda funny. it was my buddies set but whatever. i was there with him.

his first track was off cd and Talla 2xlc (whose set was just before) pressed pause or eject? i can't remember. it was funny though!


i've had the normal stuff happen.

but the worst though that really pisses me off but still makes me laugh to this day was playing at an outdoor stage during the day... and well i was lucky enough to have the sun beating down on the decks the for most of my set. many of my records were unplayable after taking them off the decks. they bent noticably in my hands it was funny in a really pissed off sorta way.

This is proabably the mous embarissing thing I ever have done while playing.

So it was this one night, I was out to have a good time with my friends, at my neighbours house, and I had been drinking a lot(!). Suddenly I was called up by the main DJ on a big club down town, he asked me to come over and play there, as drunk I was, I souldent do it, but I love to play, so I said yes, and answered no to the "have you been drinking Very much?"-question he asked me. He asked me to bring my Disk Man, and I did. (I have a very old labour one).

The night before, in the club, both of the CD players had gone in the floor and therefor one of them didnt work, and the other didnt have a display any more. So I had to bring my Disk Man as a distress-solution.
So there I stod with one CD player without display and one old Disk Man.

Later that night while I was playing, and it was very crowded, I was going to change the CD in one of the players, but I didnt remember if I was playing from the CD player or the Disk Man at the moment, so I just guessed I was playing from the CD-players...but that was wrong... So in middle of a song, and when the dance floor was very full, I pushed the stop button on the Disk Man. And you could hear the beeep sound from the Disk Man on the speakers when I pushed the stop button.

The other DJ in the club who stand by my side at the moment, was just rolling on the floor while laughing, and there I stod like a jackass, trying to put the music back on. But in my condition I didnt thinking of just cross fade to the other CD player, or mute the sound while I was trying to find the song I just played, so everytime I changed the track number, you could hear the beeep sound, and when I finally got the right track, I started to do a fast forward on the song to where the song stopped...

And when I finally did find the right spottin the song, the other DJ was still lying on the floor, laughing..

That is the last time I am going ro drink while mixing with Disk Man, even though I dont think I will get the offer to do it so offen any more

how do you dj with a discman?

some have pitch eggs or hacks

or

burn all the tracks at one bpm and hope to hell you start it at the correct time

It is almoust impossible, you always haft to pitch the song that is playing on the CD player, and you cant cue or anything - so it is like A83 said - boody hell hard...it will never be any good DJing when you do it, but that was our only option.
