...or not arriving at all...

...or arriving, but in such a fucked up state that you probably should have not arrived.

Brandon Block?

I don't think he's been in accepatable state for quite a few years now, but he still somehow turns up in most places he's booked at.

A few things DJs have pulled since I have been playing out that have really pissed me off...

another dj, and a friend, who was playing before me asking if he can play records out of my bag because he thought they'd fit in nice with what he was playing...

Once a kid playing before me just didn't recognize at all that his time was up and just kept pulling out records and playing into my set. I eventually pointed to my watch and the kid looks at me and says "ok, one more record," already 5 minutes into my set.I know when I am supposed to end a set and I end exactly when that time is.

I fucking hate when DJs don't bring all their own gear. I've had to let the same kid borrow my headphones two gigs in a row because his "broke." Like, dude, you're a fucking DJ, go buy a new pair.

I hate when I play early and after I'm done find out the kid after me didn't bring needles so now I have to hang around no matter what til the end of his set so he can actually play.

I've actually had other djs try to get dibs on playing certain tracks that they knew we both had before a night.

Perfect example of that being just CAKE and sounding sexy to mix.

Fischerspooner - Emerge (Junkie XL Remix)
into
Fischerspooner - Just Let Go (Thin White Duke Mix)

It sounded rediculously awesome.


But yea. Doing that normally is a no no.

what i was told very early when i got into mixing was that DJs do not share needles...they will share other things but not neddles...(now i'm not sure if this was excluded to only cartiges )

I've shared needles many times. Its not a big deal, most of the time I've shared because no one cared. but it annoys me when a DJ just doesn't bring them for whatever reason. Sharing headphones is the worst though. I've done that three times and all three times my headphones smelled like shit for like a week because the kids were so sweaty.

I don't mind sharing needles if I know who the other DJ is.

I refuse to share my headphones though. They're my babies. They're mine. If you don't come to a gig with headphones, you're not a DJ: you're a guy lugging records around.

Originally posted by Nemesis44 I can't believe this thread. Some guy asks about DJ taboos and all you people can argue about is photography and the Jesus pose... Who gives a toss if they do the Jesus pose or not. It's not like it will affect the overall performance. And besides, if it was such a gay thing then why do half the crowd respond by putting their hands up in the air? If people are having a good time what does it matter? Besides, I thought you were going to talk about DJ taboos not nit pick points you don't like. There are a ton of things that you should and shouldn't do with regards to other DJs that I have not seen anyone cover in this thread, which I guess would have been the point nes pas? Does anyone actually care to bring up some points that have any value? Nem

When I listed that I was merely joking. Sure, some people ran with it, but I think everyone else was joking about it as well.

You should see what an asshole I look like when I am DJing. At some points of the song I get an "O" face.
