Things you should NEVER say to a DJ

[Funky_Steve]

Everyone must have them. Things people say to you while you're playing a gig, but really shouldn't.

Here's a few to get started:

Play something good, something we can dance to (while the dancefloor is packed)

Play something with a 'beat' (WTF???)

I don't know who sings it or the name of the song. Can I sing it to you?

Can you play ****. Everybody wants to hear it.

I guarantee everybody will dance if you play it.

I can get laid if you play it!

I want to hear it next!

What songs do you have?

Please play it next because we are leaving soon.

My Dad/brother/boyfriend owns the club, play it next.

Are you the DJ?

Jack and coke please.

Can I DJ?

Im a DJ too, you should play ***** and mix it with *****.

Can you please play it again, next?

Is it gonna be this sort of music all night?

Can you play song no "**" on the disc "*" of MOS no "*"?

Hey! Where can I buy drugs?"

Can you play a song off my iPod?

You got any RnB and Hip Hop ? (when playing house) & vice versa

Can I look thru your music/cds/records?

[Jaz]

haha good read

[Funky_Steve]

Or one that really gets the DJ on their side:

"Got anything besides this shit?"

Like how do they expect you to reply??

[JonnyB]

i seem to remember one of my mates saying something like, he was playing and some guy kept hassling him for a shit track, he said no, so he started giving my mate heaps of shit, so he cut the music, plugged the headphones into the mic output so you can speak into your earphone and it acts as a mic, now imagine a massive party going dead silent, then my mate said something like 'this guy here wants me to play some shit fucking tracks, now who here wants me to play em.....no one said anything....so my mate said....'ok now who hear wants this fuckwit out of the party'.....massssssive roar, the guy was just left there, SO embarresed and speachless.

its not somethgin id pull off at a club, but fuck it would of been funny to see at a big party

[Jaz]

WOW epic Good! what a champ

but let me get this straight, if i plug my headphones into my mic jack slot and talk into the ear muff it will work like a microphone?

[Funky_Steve]

Sure does.

I don't think it does the headphones any good (as they weren't designed for it) but for a one off.

And this sounds like it was definetely worth it.

Classic Jonny B!

[Jaz]

Well i wont be trying it with my new XD53's but my old shit sony's just became a microphone!

[ruggs]

i heard most of these before so annoying...the play that song again one is so gay they just think ur an ipod sometimes...i do the headphone trick sometimes at the start of a mix i just say a word into it and loop roll it and speed it up and up and up and up then drop the first track good fun

[pulsebeat]

djaz

i have a shitty mic that i got from a chinese hot dollar store

deffinately not the best but good enough when you cut the music and speak loudly in2 it

under $10 as well

[krsjuan]

you a dj?

[Jaz]

Shit yeh, once I get into ableyon a bit more I'll probly buy a mid range mike that has good record quaility's but cheap enough to throw around at party's or club but $10 is hectic cheap

[pulsebeat]

exactly

its no MC spec mich but fuck it does the job

[LabRat]

Can I look thru your music/cds/records?

HATE this one! i get it all the time

[CBG]

asking for 'that track off MOS album' is common, like... i never fucking listen to ministry of sound.. fuck off!

[crundyy]

"what does that button do?" *presses button* *decks turn off*

that would shit me incredibly hard and they'd cop a right hook for sure

[CBG]

hell yeah, itd be on

[ruggs]

i got told to download a song once whilst i was djing coz i had a laptop they just thought i could download it right there right now lol

[pulsebeat]

[CBG]

[Cupe]

"can u play that eminem and rihanna song?"

[ruggs]

"can u play that eminem and rihanna song?"

"It's too slow..."

"make it quicker!"

ha ha i've had that too

[FabDJ]

Got two mikes for 16.00 from Strathfield radio with a shit dvd recorder package and they are great with XLR plugs to mike and quarter inch mike jack and 3m leads.

Leads alone are worth that. Very loud output too

never on more that 2 on mixer.
