RE: (313) Best lines to the DJ
late reply to a long thread... 1. boys that make the universal symbol for scratching (palms down, both hands moving back and forth), then explain that you are not a dj unless you scratch. especially annoying while playing basic channel, kdj, ron trent, disco, etc. 2. "are those your boyfriend's records?" 3. "can you stand in the booth and play these booty / radio r&b mix cds for free? it's my birthday, and we don't want you to play any house, techno, or vinyl."

I have to admit I've been practicing this since '92 as I used a Gluestick to cleanly paste die-cut centerpieces from Club Magazine, High Society and Hustler to all my records. I've had numerous positive feedback over the years concerning this trademark of mine which eventually led to the creation of Waxdoctor Industries from Eugene, Oregon that donned the "Selector Protector" . The Worlds only removable & reusable record label concealer.

Quote: "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.

Which usually ends with them getting smacked in the face by the dj (or his buddies) or getting thrown out. Saw that one plenty of times... John
Re: (313) Best lines to the DJ
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...
Re: (313) Best lines to the DJ
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 The funniest question I ever heard was from a guy asking a friend of mine at a Drum 'n' Bass party where my friend spinned some nice old school breakz if he can put the breaks out of that techno hahaha also a girl asked me at a party where I played some deep techno stuff if I can put in some bass whilst there was a bassy deep techno track was runnin. hehehe Arne "MM" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> schrieb: > yea that is almost as good as the time when we had our friend jon williams (organised noise) play here in like 95...he was just banging the hell out of old circuit breaker tracks and seawolf, UR acid rain 3 , stuff like that...and this kid asked him to stop right now (he was messed up)and turn it all offnow this was in a warehouse at around 3:00am with like 1500 people... jon told him no, he was doing his thing... so the kid took a running start and jumped over the turntables and tried to grab the monitors behind him and put his own head into them, and knocking one of the turntables overneedless to say the music did not stop cause the record was playing on the other turntable, and i am not sure what ever happened to that kid;-) > > michael > www.renegaderhythms.com > > "Langsman, Marc" wrote: > > > Sounds like you were well in there !! .. and with a girl with possible > > turntablist abilitities...

Re: (313) Best lines to the DJ
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. fred

Re: (313) Best lines to the DJ
my all-time fav is "are you the DJ?" - OK, meanwhile I have headphones on, am surrounded by turntables & rekkids, CDs & players, etc. whilst using the mixer. once I answered "no" just to make the person go away. runner up would have to be "I'll have a Bud & two Coronas" (or other drinks) - been in a few places where the booth was near the bar... old time favs - "can you play the Smiths" or "can you play Souxsie" when that was what was actually playing right then... "play something I can dance to" when the dancefloor is full - "sorry, can't help ya there dude" - lol! "if you don't play some good music I'm going to leave", said in a busy place - "there's the door, over there" "can you play some Metallica" - I actually had it - don't ask me why - and they danced too - was funny as hell - lol! lisa :) Martin wrote: The best one I've heard is "Where's the toilet mate" And a bloke with some bongo's asking if we could "mike" him up! 16/7/03 8:26 AM [EMAIL PROTECTED]@dsl.pipex.com I was playing live with Mark Broom about 10 years ago when a sweaty face from the crowd appeared over the top of my Juno 106 and shouted "Go on big man!

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! G
RE: (313) Best lines to the DJ
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.

Re: (313) Best lines to the DJ
Chris Liebing is hard techno, very 'schranz' as they would say...sometimes it's okay sometimes it's utter sh**e...if u are on soulseek try and get your hands on his set done at Speedy J's SweatBoxer night back in April..this one's really hard and industrial sounding and very good...give's u a good idea of his style..

Re: (313) Best lines to the DJ
About 10 years ago, half way through Vainqueuer "Lyot" (Maurizio mix, natch), I had a tap on my shoulder and a glammed up lady asked me if I had any M-People. Nice, as they are one of my most detested musical incarnations. Obviously, I said no. Returning to what I was doing, I was tapped from behind again a few minutes later, so the lady could inform me that "you don't know your arse from your elbow!", and then she marched towards the exit. Nice. .. -- XS2Mail: Check your mail anywhere http://www.xs2mail.com/

What kind of DJ are you?" For shame, for shame... 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?

Re: (313) Best lines to the DJ
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. Kered Futurebpm.com

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?

RE: (313) Best lines to the DJ
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 then my wife says right where's the dosh :) ha ha -Original Message- From: robin pinning [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 16 July 2003 12:11 To: ian cheshire Cc: 313@hyperreal.org Subject: RE: (313) Best lines to the DJ > Access :)) well its one of my oldie favs. If I get to see > you Robin I'll bring some Champayne and request Access just for the > nostalgia of it ha ha :)))oh and only bring 20 quid with me :) lol yeah this was at a time when you could hear 'access' on the radio...well almost... don't get me wrong tho...the playing is way more improtant than the money but if someones making money on the nite then it's not that fair for it not to filter through to everyone that's put effort in at least i didn't go all the way over to germany to do it :) robin... > > -Original Message- > From: robin pinning [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 16 July 2003 11:54 > To: ian cheshire > Cc: 313@hyperreal.org > Subject: RE: (313) Best lines to the DJ > > > > > they pulled in 1200 punters and didn't pay you? > > that would really f*** me off (it's kinda happened to me tho, 800 people > and 20 quid paidwhile the promoter handed me the 20 pound note he had > a huge bottle of champaign in his other hand...) > > most of the time when i played techno (detroit) in leeds i got asked for > dj misjah's access... > > robin... > > > > wel I had a cr*p time on my gig as Tomcraft was booked to play > > on the same night and he made a difference to the whole experience. --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.

I also don't DJ (well sometimes with laptop), just do live acts. Once I was playing on chill out floor in a club and I started my set with mostly glitchy/ambient stuff, and after ~30min someone comes to me and starts complaining that it's about time for some beats to come in. The weirdest gig I had was playing at new years party of Slovenian ministry of culture. I got all weird kind of requests.
