What do you put into your live sets that has made you a dancefloor favorite for the past decade?

"I’m a dance floor favorite? Great! I would say the passion that I feel for the music I buy and the honesty with how I play it. I play the records I love not the ones that simply work. I’ve never taken the easy music option (which would make me a lot more money by the way) but chosen to push people a little. I try to draw people in a new direction slightly and expand their taste a little more than other DJ’s." - Lee Burridge

Originally posted by dj mccord it goes to show that this can happen to anyone. I have a good friend, he is a bartender at several locations in the south bay. Friday night, he had a house party. I brought all my gear over and rocked progressive tunes all night long. It was good fun, and everyone sort of relaxed and enjoyed it. On saturday night, my same buddy called me up to ask me if I wanted to come play at one of his bars. Said that they had no 'entertainment' for the night and that it would be cool to bring my stuff by. I was a little sketch about the crowd and atmosphere, but then thought, how many times will I get this chance? Low and behold, after about the first hour, this girl walks up to me. Mind you, she was blonde. "Do you have music with words in it? Is this all you have, 'techno'? - Can you play something we can dance too. Maybe something like the BLACK EYED PEAS?" I was like, ohh no. I know you didn't just say that? Are you serious? I told her if she wanted to hear the black eyed peas that she needed to go find herself a wedding DJ. As I've heard, they play the songs you request. She got mad and stormed out. I was like, "Good, I didn't want her here anyways."

It was so classic - I immediately went up to the doorman and mentioned this thread. I was like, wow - did this blonde think she was Paris Hilton?

Did anyone see yesterday's commercial for Talk Soup on E?

Pretty funny, talked about reason's why Paris Hilton's boyfriend had a busted lip... (since the DJ denied hitting him)

Tell that bitch that 'techno' IS DANCE MUSIC...

It irritates me how people just don't get how EDM works, it's called E-D-M for a reason, Electronic DANCE Music... and honestly you dance however u like in dance music.. it bores the hell out of me how hiphop can only do 1 move: grinding (ok i'm exaggerated a little bit), but in techno/trance/house u can actually DANCE whatever

so the next time you encounter someone pulling a Paris, tell her to f*** off or else

That was my feelings on the whole thing. I was pissed off at her calling Prog - 'Techno'. When she asked me about 'playing music people can dance too.' I really replied with - "Have you gone to san francisco? I see people in the clubs up there dance to this music every weekend. I find it hard to believe YOU can't dance to it."

Its funny, how as a DJ, I took it offensively that she didn't like my music, and asked me to change it up to something completely different. Thats why I told her I would play her requests, if she was the one paying me to play. Otherwise, I will play the music I'm being paid to play.

that is how most djs feel. it's not cool when someone who has no experience or knowledge related to djing comes up to you and tells you they think you should play what they hear on the radio every day and sing in the shower. it's ridiculous. By the 2nd time it happens, you say... "Here we go again."

Sometimes I will tell the dolt I will play their song "pretty soon" just to get them to leave the booth. That's what you do when you are sick of all the arguing, bitching, and complaining you're going to hear if you don't tell them that.
