Addi Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Had another gig at the pub last night. Went alright, had a fair few people there for the first 2 hours of my set (9-11pm), then heaps of people went to the clubs in town. The last hour was actually really cool, ended up just playing a mad techno/tech house/disco set for the bar staff, and about 10 other people, including this one african fella who was sitting right near the speakers just bobbing his head and in another world haha. He came up to me when I finished and complimented me saying he "loved the tunes brother" haha. Hearing that and seeing that small crowd dig the set was heaps satisfying!

Dominant Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Friend asked me to play a birthday party a few nights ago, got there and thought it was going to be such a terrible night I almost left straight up. But then I saw my buddy and he got me set up brought me whatever I wanted and I ended up playing till 3am. Never had more than ten people dancing but everyone was loving the music and I had a great time playing for them. Then when I was finished with the loud noise and flashing lights I just went outside had a few smokes and chilled by the bonfire till the sun came up. Ended up being a pretty sick night.

dflux4 Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 So this is how it all went down..... Pukka up Boaty Party 2011 to The Civic Hotel Pukka Up After Party ft. dflux412:00 – Rock up to the Man-O-War stairs right next to the Opera house and walk onto the Lady Rose, a three levelled catamaran packed full of people ready to partay. My mate and I scope out where he is playing, he jumps behind the decks as he is the first set and starts laying out some tunes.5:00 – Boat party is over, feeling pretty wasted as I have been drinking pure Bacardi that some guy snuck onto the boat. Kraver killed his set with some heavy electro, dirty dubstep and some uplifting trance. Everyone on the boat doesn’t want to get off but the party is going to continue at the Civic Hotel. We get to the Civic and Kraver is like “ bro here are my cds, the headphones are in the case jump behind the decks start playing and I will be back soon.” Why not I think, so I walk into the Civic straight up to the decks and the Bar manager comes over and is like “ hey mate are you the DJ?” I give him a quick nod and set the headphones up put in a CD and away we go, straight into some funky electro when a chick from behind the bar is like “ do you want another speaker?” I give her the thumbs up and the speaker is set up and pointed towards me. Within 5 minutes of being behind the decks chicks are starting to froth, dancing all seductively like and sucking on their fingers and staring at me...5:30 – A few tracks into my mix now and I'm getting into the flow, not knowing what tracks are coming up as they aren’t my CD’s and just trying to keep the transitions smooth and clean. There are two hot chicks that won’t stop staring at me one comes up and whispers something into my ear, next thing she is trying to shove her tongue down my throat but I move my head. WTF guys there are some crazy bitches out there! By now 150+ people are in the club and more than half are on the dance floor busting out.6:00 – I'm beginning to wonder where the hell Kraver has gone, it’s been an hour and he hasn’t replied to any of my txt’s. The event organiser is being a bit of a douche as some of the tracks I have played weren’t “cheesy” enough for him so he starts telling me to play songs off his iPhone as well as searching for more commercial tracks off the CD’s I have. Still the crowd is lapping it up a few people have come up saying they are loving the tracks I'm playing I shake their hands give em a hug and tell them thanks for the love.6:30 – Kraver just txt he will be back shortly, I'm pretty glad at this point wouldn’t mind being able to go have a piss and relax for a bit. This Sarah chick comes up n she is like “ OMG like I love all these tunes ur playing can I add you on fbook so you can tell me some good songs to get” I'm like nah I don’t have a fbook but put ur number into my phone and I will send you a txt. Last track is playing as I just spotted Kraver walking through the door, I look to the crowd blow them a kiss and hand over the headphones. 6:45 - I'm feeling pretty good at the moment, I survived 1.5 hours behind the decks in a club for the first time when I hadn’t even planned on playing.

mattus123 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 thats epic Dflux, good stuff!my turn 7:15 get to the chicks house (its a fucking monster), i set up down in the fancy-ass boat shed (yes, she has a boat shed) awesome water views, perfect size to hold bout 80 people give or take. Finish setting up at about 7:45 go back upstairs and mingle abit. smash down a couple of jello shots and some bacardi slurpies.8:15 she takes the party down stairs and everyone is partying down in the boat shed. I start with mixing some prog house. By about 9:00 people are asking for a bit more mainstream, by this stage the party was filling up so i figure why not. Drop some more mainstream crap, but save the good shit for later in the night. by this stage the room was full of people dancing. I also realise that i forgot a torch/lamp so im using my phone to search through the CD wallet which is a massive pain in the ass (lesson learned).Birthday girl requests a song.... the ONE song i didnt have is the one she requested.. it was 'hotel something somethin' by pitbull i ithnk, massive dick move on my behalf. I try and make amends by playing her other hip hop stuff she wanted. Very happy with the way i mixed that, mixed about 5 hip hop tracks smoothly, bitches loved it, everyone was singing. 930 she does speeches and cake etc and i kick off with some avicii - enough is enough, which brought everyone to the dance floor. From here on i was careful with track selection trying to keep as many people on the floor as possible. People would come and go from here on, but i managed to have atleast 2 people on the Dfloor at any one time.About 1030 there was a fight of some sort which drianed the Dfloor completely, but i chucked on cinema and brought everyone back in. At about 1130 the Dfloor got surprisingly quiet, and i had played most of the popular things, so i thought 'people are tired, ill just mix well and enjoy myself and keep the music going' this went on for bout 20 mins.By about midnight i somehow ressurected the Dfloor and it was fuller than what it was at the start of the night. People were requesting songs i had already played, but i thought there had been a long enough time between playing them that no one would notice. Definitely a good call, the repated songs went off and the dancefloor was packed right up until i was told to turn the music off, around 1am.packed up the car by about 2, and then slept in the car that night (didnt wanan risk driving home drunk)Lessons to be learned for next time: still wanan get better at reading the crowdsBig ups to the ADJF crew aswell: i dropped Street's Blow mashup (went down SOOO well), Hobberz S&M mashup and slop rock gotye remix(everyone loved it) and Spitfire's party rock remix (went absolutely off, chicks screaming, everyone shuffling etc)By the end of the night from what i gathered everyone was happy with the job i was doing, didnt hear from the birthday girl (i hope she was satisfied). but all in all a good nightLooking forward to the next gig (possibly a NYE party ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dflux4 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Good going bro,"packed up the car by about 2, and then slept in the car that night (didnt wanan risk driving home drunk)" and a very smart move on your behalf! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SolDios Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Did an 18th for my friend sat night, It went really well IMO. They wanted ALOT of Old stuff, everything from safety dance to rock the casbah to Are you gona be my girl. As well as the normal cheese.The hall it self was doggy as hell though, we had a rainstorm and water started gushing down one of the walls, and kept flicking the power for an 8th of a second, which reset my cdj's. Then at the end of the night we found the house lights wern't working, lucky my powerpoint's didn't stop working. At one point the power for the entire building cut out for 10 seconds.Just after I finished setting up.The macarena (had to join in, haha)Unfortunately about 20 people were intent on staying outside drinking, no matter what I played I couldn't get them in.You can only try so hard though.
