see my point? :( |
This is too funny! I just had that happen to me last weekend. I was playing at a party and some hot chick walked up to the booth and said, " Could you play something that everyone could dance to". I thought she was going to shoot me a compliment or something. All I could think was, Look at the dance floor, everyone seems to be enjoying the music besides you. Yeah, it's too funny some of the stuff people ask you to play, or what not to play.

One time Clovis and I were playing at this really bar/club deal in Santa Barabara. We were playing for a little over an hour, closing out the night, when this girl comes up to the booth and says "do you have any Hip hop?". Now keep in mind she had been ther for quite a while, I saw her and her group of friends relatively early in the night so she saw the other 2 djs before us. Anyway I looked at her and just said, "What in the past 2 hours has led you to believe that anyone would be playing hip hop tonight? Was it the techno dj before us or the house dj before him?". ing moron :stongue:
Anyway, I liked that Paul Van Dook guy. He was rad, at least he had some idea of what kind of music we played :p |

| Sometimes you've got to whore yourself a little bit and put on a requested song if it would suit, or only slightly deviate away from the flow of a set. Playing a set exactly planned out on paper or in your head before you get started isn't much fun. The whole point of the Djing business is to get punters dancing while injecting some of your style into the music. |

I think I just wet myself I laughed so much at that. PLEASE tell me you meant 'cack' (instead of an ock) - it made it so much funnier.
Best I ever had was (while playing Sasha's Xpander - and this has to be read with a Glaswegian accent):
"Gonny play some S-Club 7 - this shyte's tae heavy fer me..."
(The 7 is pronounced 'suvun')
While the dance floor was packed with people all loving (I hope) the music I'd been playing - in a club known for playing progressive/trance stuff.
I mean, why do people even go to clubs like this without knowing what kind of music they play?
Rant over... |

Actually, yes!
I know you're from Germany, and maybe the way you pronounce DIK like we pronounce DOOK, however I have attached a link to a sample to an introduction of Paul van Dyk, spoken by a German before a set played at a Loveparade pre-party..... in Germany!
So listen to this...... this guy definately says "dook"

really dont get this one myself either. been studying german for a few months now... and i have NO IDEA why anyone would say 'Dyk' is pronounced 'Dook' in german. bleh. and yes, i've heard the commentator saying it like that.
then again, Markus Schulz mispronounces Armin van Buuren's name all the time. hell, the dude who does the VOCAL SAMPLE for ASOT mispronounces Armin's name. so i would not be surprised. |

| hrm. inconsequent however, when dealing with german pronunciation, as his name isn't really Paul van Dyk, therefore, he can basically pronounce it however the hell he wants. |

| what pisses me off more than people only calling it techno, is when people call it 'rave', like, 'let's leave they're playing rave tonight.' like you go to a hip hop club and say 'they're playing breakdance here tonight' in idiots i say. 'oh you dj?, what do you play?' 'house' '...oh..rave..' no nuts, not rave, house music. i would be happy with a simple techno to be honest. |
