  Best response to inane punter harrassment seems to be to say slowly

  Sorry, I'm not the DJ, he's gone off for a bit.

  Astonishingly this seems to satisfy people even if you're wearing

You get a friend to stand by you at the decks and look like your tough 
manager, and they ward off these fools. Works a treat. Or you put both
monitors over your ears and pretend you can't hear. ;)
I've actually been pretend manager for friends DJing too. ;)

 I was DJing with Clark Warner and we were supposed to be doing a
 downtempo tag team set, and both of us had been looking forward to this
 for a while.
 However, this was not going to be the case..as we had several girls
 come up to us repeatedly during the early hours of the night asking for
 us to play hip hop.

 After ignoring them for a good hour, one girl finally came up with a
 stack of CDs. She went to her car and brought them in for us to play.
 While this was a very thoughtful gesture on her part, the less than
 pleasant side of me wanted to torch her CDs with my lighter, or play
 them at extremely low pitches soaked in some Pioneer DJ EFX.

 Things only got better when the pack of banshees decided to start
 yelping the mantra hip hop! hip hop! over some record Clark was
 playing.

 i was playing a club one time mostly techno, and this girl came up to me, and
 told me that it ( i assume she ment the music) needed more scratching in it,
 and then asked me to step aside so she could show me how to do it when i
 asked her what records she planned to use ( i always like to let them think
 they might have a chance with their requests) she said oh it looks like you
 have enough for US to play all nightthen she got mad cause she actually
 thought i was gonna let her scratch my records.it was pretty funny

RE: (313) Best lines to the DJ

2003-07-16 Thread Langsman, Marc

I was asked to play 'tiffany - I think we're alone now' once - after
refusing I started receiving slips of paper with death threats and various
obscenities in the dj booth for the rest of the evening :/

... Clearly I'd rather die than play tiffany anyhoo so I didn't see it as
that much of a problem ;)

Peace,
marc

off course the playin is more important and thats what its all about
but when its part of your main income thats when it becomes a problem but
hey I got see and meet the technasia dj, Chrales form France, so it has its
unique moments and that's what I like.

You see I love playing but too see other DJ's @work and hear what they play
etc and how
they do things , its all about learning, you can never stop learning and
tha's aq precious thing.

The hippy side of my brain says well learnin is more precious than money and

 refusing I started receiving slips of paper with death threats and various

Sean:  re: #2:  Wow!

Another memorable experience, this one way back in
1987-ish (the days when my only knowledge of techno in
lil' ol' Halifax was a soley a compilation called
Techno: The New Dance Sound Of Detroit which was
available through Virgin Records and thus I found at my
local chain record store): I was living in residence at
University and had a Friday and Saturday night
residency (ie I played music all night for whoever
might show up, might be a rock music wanting crowd,
might be a dance music wanting crowd, might be a cheesy
music wanting crowd) at the University's bar, which
just happened to be, literally, right next door to my
residence. Thus I was able to bring over, again
literally, my entire record collection to choose from
(played about 5 hours a night for a varied crowd, so it
was good to have everything).  That was back when you
played a bit of *everything* in sets.  The most popular
request was that 'get down on your knees' song (yep,
that's how people requested it; they were referencing
the chorus to New Order's Bizarre Love Triangle). I
still remember buying the Steve Silk Hurley mixes of
their new single Fine Time and being super frustrated
when I couldn't break it to the crowd no matter how I
tried. Anyway, the story:  the booth was really big, I
mean really big, and I was set up with the turntables
(no 1200s for me back then, baby, we're talking
whatever could be scrounged) at the very front with my
records in crates on a couple of tables at the very
back of the booth.  The entrance to the booth was back
by the tables, and it was pretty dark at the back at
the booth (I had my records extremely well organized,
so it didn't really matter that it was dimly lit where
they were).  Anyway, I was playing out and kept getting
the eerie feeling that there was someone in the booth
with me; but quick glances around--nope, there was no
one standing next to me.  I had a good bunch of records
up at the front with me, but after a bit (maybe 20
minutes or so), I thought of a record that I wanted to
get that was in the crates at the back.  So I went back
to the back and there was a woman standing there, with
her back to me, hunched over my crates and going
through my records.  She had a big pile on one side of
her (like 30 records or so) and was adding to the pile.
 I said uh, can I help you? and she said Yeah, I'm
picking out some records for you to play. I kindly
thanked her (sarcasm on here) and she left the booth.
Had I not had to go back to the back of the booth
(again, it was BIG), I wonder how many records she
would have pulled? Anyway, after she left, I looked to
see what she had pulled, and it was all the more
accessible stuff I had for the more conservative crowds
when I was doing off-university things.  Not sure what
she was thinking; if it had been a restaurant, wouldn't
that have been the equivalent of her going back into
the kitchen to help the chef prepare her meal? Andrew

Good one Andrew! Here's one of my favs...which happened to me about a year or 
so ago...

In the middle of my set I drop the Jacksons Can You Feel It and the crowd 
goes wild. Funny thing is -- this girl comes up to me and says Can you play 
the original?! and i'm like Huh?

You heard me! Can you play the original of this?

Bewildered I reply, THIS IS THE ORIGINAL!

And she persists in an argumentive way and says No it's not...the original has 
a woman singing over it with a harder beat! What kind of DJ are you?

Later that night it dawned on me...she was referring to that god-awful cheese 
track by the Tamperer (circa 1996?) that SAMPLED the Jacksons!!! I was tickled 
silly by it all and still laugh to this day about it.

Now while that did make me laugh, I would have to say that it actually isn't 
funny, but depressing! I'm sure I've had situations like that before (people 
who have apparently transmigrated across from alternate timelines where, for 
example, Dr Dre preceded George Clinton, or Jam'n'Spoon preceded Underground 
Resistance) but have blocked them from my mind because it's just so... wrong...

Do you think these people really hear the strident trebles and excited 
musicianship of 1970s music and think it stylistically obvious that the hard 
909 kickdrum and joyless trance arrangements of the 1990s are a more vintage 
sound? Or has the word original become, for them, a euphemism for version 
most familiar to me?

I guess this hits the spot.
On the other hand, we are the purists and the people you're 
spinning/playing for are 'just' consumers. So you can't really blame them.

However, this was not going to be the case..as we had several girls
come up to us repeatedly during the early hours of the night asking for
us to play hip hop.

After ignoring them for a good hour, one girl finally came up with a
stack of CDs. She went to her car and brought them in for us to play.
While this was a very thoughtful gesture on her part, the less than
pleasant side of me wanted to torch her CDs with my lighter, or play
them at extremely low pitches soaked in some Pioneer DJ EFX.

Things only got better when the pack of banshees decided to start
yelping the mantra hip hop! hip hop! over some record Clark was
playing.

OK - Here's my story...

Playing a Deep House night, a girl comes up and makes a request for
something more danceable... like Shaggy! I had to aks her to repeat
that one more time cuz i wasn't sure if i heard that properly!?! My
response was of course.. no... and i doubt any of the other dj's would
play it either. 

The funny part about the story is... one of the promoter's came up, and
asked what all the hub bub was... i told him the story, and he asks me
to point out the culprit. He proceeds to walk over to her and after a
couple of words, proceeds to escort her out the door!!! 

I think every event needs promoters like that! :D

Cheers!

The best line I got was while I was playing straight up hard techno:

Them: Can you play something that you can dance to?
Me: Can't you dance to this?
Them: No, something you can dance to. Like the Stones...

It probably didn't help that I was at a biker bar but whatever...

 on almost every gig i play someone asks me to play paranoid by black 
 sabbath. i swear one day i take it with me and just switch to it 
 immediately someone asks me to play it.
 

I heard some electronic rmx of a black sabbath song forget wha it is, sweet 
leaf maybe?

 can you play something more danceable is also quite common, as well as 
 do you have any hip hop, can you play insert local rock band name 
 here etc.. 

 
my favorite is when guys walk up and ask, er um more like demand, to flow 
over what ever i'm playing. then when i say i'm really not into that, they 
stand there and yell raps in my face like that is going convince me. this 
happens everytime at co-op parties and last friday i thought this guy wanted to 
punch me, instead he kept calling me a hater and proceded to ruin an already 
messed up vibe by the fuzz. 

had someone once ask me to can you play some hank, i replied which one.

my fiend was playing a wedding reception, this guy walked up and asked if he 
had a cd player. he said no, the guy replies i have this alice dj set, let me 
pull my car around and we can rock out. 

i have found the best way to deflect these question with a positve out come is 
to say i play vinyl and if they have any records they want me to play to bring 
them up. i know one day this will bite me in the ass when that person has the 
record on them. guess then it's on to plan b to put the record where they can 
see it and when they ask why i have not played it yet reply, i'm trying ot 
work it in.

The Butthole Surfers have a track called Sweet Loaf that was based on a
Black Sabbath song i believe. The intro (Daddy?, Yes, son, etc was
later used by Orbital on their track Satan. I don't think this is what

Re: (313) Best lines to the DJ

2003-07-16 Thread Fred Heutte
I might have seen that 1995 incident with Jon Williams.
Over the years, I've seen several turntable-divers.  This may
be more of a west coast thing, because we have always
favored putting the turntables on the floor with the crowd
rather than in a booth or up on a stage.  Most people are
very good about not getting too close to the gear, but it
does provide opportunity for those who are little too
twisted . . .

by the way, the practice of putting the DJ in with the crowd
is probably the reason I returned to DJing (and many others
got started), because you get a chance to see what is
actually going on and learn a bit about mixing styles.  Of
course, the downside is the rubberneckers who stand
completely still and watch every little movement the DJ
makes (in awe or catatonia, I'm never sure which).  Which
completely dampens the vibe, naturally.  I mean, go ahead
and take a look, but standing there completely still for
half an hour while someone is trying to move a crowd?

I haven't seen this for years, but some DJs would tape over
the record labels to stop the constant trainspotting (and
sometimes set stealing) that was going on when this scene
was really breaking out in a big way.

while i was staying at (but not attending) university of rochester, during 
their annual outdoor fun day whatever, a friend was dj'ing and playing 
some records on behalf of me and my friends. she was playing drexciya, ur, 
lfo, suburban knight etc etc. eventually some fratdude walked up and angrily 
requested that she stop playing old music and put on something new, like 
bryan adams. except it wasnt even bryan adams it was something even more 
cheesey 80's crap but i cant remember. and this wasnt during the 80's, this 
was 1996 or something. i guess his thinking was synthesizers  drum 
machines=80's...unfortunately the music immediately shfited to bs after his 
complaint

I haven't seen this for years, but some DJs would tape over the record 
labels to stop the constant trainspotting (and sometimes set stealing) 
that was going on when this scene  was really breaking out in a big way.


They actually used to sell little plastic record label covers which could 
be used for the same purpose. The only people I knew who ever used them did 
so not for the vibe but to protect their records so no one else would 
know what they were.


These people also owned record stores and if they got a good record in 
they'd keep it for themselves and not sell any other copies to anyone else 
in order to make sure that they had the good tunes.


Obviously this was back in the days before internet shopping...
