best way to recover from this is to let it play a few beats slowly.. on a crash do some cool scrathing.. and then BOOM let it go at the proper speed :) |

i guess mine is the worst then...
i was in the middle of my set... i was talking to some girl for about 15 minutes or so, and i just mixed in a really loooooong track cuz i wanted to talk with the girl a bit more... so anyway, i take the the old record off, put on a new one and find the first beat and leave it there to beatmatch it, however as i was talking to this girl, i completely forgot i didn't beatmatch the track cuz the needle was still sitting on the first beat, all the time i was thinking it was ready to be mixed in... soooo, LOL, you can imagine what happened when i started mixing in the track... :stongue: :stongue: :stongue: |

| I saw Mauro Picotto in a video once and he ed up a mix pretty bad, then hit some kind of safety record or some . It was a pretty sweet mix up until that point tho. I'll post the name of it friday, i'm not at home right now tho to look it up. |

heh, gotta learn from DJ Tiesto: business before pleasure.
he told Rolling Stone that he shagged a girl once during a set, and still managed to put on a new record every 4 minutes or so. how the could he do that?
"uhh, uhh, ahhh, uhh. wait honey, gotta put on another track and beatmatch it."

| basically Mauro just played two records at once, it was really shocking to hear something like that come out of the video. It looked like a pretty big production, w/ cameras floating around n . |

i think it was anne savage (someone from toronto verify this...they were with hybrid earlier this year at the warehouse)
anyways she was about 1/2 way through her set and this song is playing at 33rpm
i don't know what she was thinking but i guess she bumped the TT and knocked the 45 button so the track starts playing at like 190bpm hahahah
she fixed it maybe 2 seconds later...but needless to say it really ruined the flow of the set ;) |

heh, did she apologize afterward or just kept mixing like nothing happened?
here's from the lass herself --

I was djing in this club where the decks were suspended by steel wires. I had stupidly high stiletto boots on and lost my balance so I tried to balance myself by grabbing onto the decks, but they swung right out and I fell about 5 feet off the stage onto the dancefloor. I was mortified and had a flashback to 1978 when my brother pushed me in a packed swimming pool with all my clothes on. To make matters worse when I got back on stage, whilst removing the boots I knocked one of the plugs out the socket and all the music went off. I didn't realise what I had done and it seemed like an eternity till someone saw the plug and got the music back on.
