House Parties Suck

There was this houseparty the other day at a friends house. The event was huge you couldn't move anywhere; it was packed. In the corner there was a dj booth with 3 djs spinning. When I arrive at the party I am asked if I can to do a mix, so naturally I accept and go back home to get my stuff quickly. I get back to the party at 11:30 so this is the point where it's getting cracking and I am put on. I mix in the first song, a little shaky mix but I am getting used to the equipment, then I mix the next song and that turned out well. I mix in the third song and when I go to backspin some girl (friend) taps my arm and I bring down the wrong volume fader after the backspin; basically made me look like an idiot. Whatever, I think I got more songs to mix. Then when I go back to the other deck its all wet. The girl who hit my arm to say hi dropped her dring all over the cdj. This was a rather new cdj-1000mk2 and now its gone. When i tried loading a cd it gave me this memory card message. I was like are you kidding me!? first time i dj on 1000mk2s and I only get to mix 3 songs. It sucked and I feel so bad about the kid who owns the equipment. I couldn't even sleep. But yeah house parties suck.

learn the listen man, at a house party always make sure the booth is closed from around you to prevent drunk ppl touching the equipment and situations like that

+1. Drunk people at parties have no repect for the equipment or the dj usually.

I would say put the dj booth on the deck or something and make sure only the sobre people can go up there at most.

Shame / Disagreement

people are fuckwits.

i played a house party once and this guy ignored the nice big sign saying "no drinks" on the equipment table, and decided to start pouring himself one. i put my hand out to stop him, give him the "uh uh" fingerpoint, and for some reason he thinks its a good idea to then bang his glass on the table repeatedly. now, i was mid mix so naturally the needle skips. glass & drink end up all over the floor as i bash the shit out of his hands whilst correcting. stupid cvnt.
