So did an 18th tonight for a girl who i went to school with.

All was going well, Another girl i went to school with asked me if i had a couple of songs that i have never actually hear of and i apologized and said i would do what i can to try get them. Her friend who just walked in the room and stood next to her asked me do you have Azealia Banks - 212 and i said no sorry i have never heard of it and she looks at me and says your a shit Dj! i put my headphones back on and tryed my best to ignore but yeah Thanks to here i now have more motivation :) and i actually got the song and put it on and she wasnt there to hear it. Night started getting good then people started getting picked up and going outside and then a fight erupted with like 6 people then i was told to kill the music :(. Defiantly Wasn't my favorite night but its always good to be out there i guess

dont let it get to you Vaughn, if you havent heard the song chances are the dance floor hasnt either n it might clear it if you play it... party's are easy dude, young kids just want to get drunk n dance to loud music no matter what it is, wait until you get into a club, some of the requests are fucking ridiculous, ive been asked for cotton eye joe, barbie girl, even an irish river dancing song by backpackers :roll: in saying that i mashed up cotton eye joe with turbulance by laidback luke and it turned out great haha

Yeah, Most young kids just want to get drunk and have a good time except the girls that i went to school with, they must think im a present or something. Seriously starting to hate doing gigs for people i went to school with because the girls are like "Put this song on NOW" Im like im mixing something at the moment ill put it on in 5 minutes. "But i want to listen to it now" :wall:

I know i shouldn't be negative, but sometimes they just dont understand.

Im keen to get some of them music ear buds, does anyone know where to get any decent ones from?

its so fuckin stupid when they request something and demand it immediately, what i wouldve done in that case is say to the chick

"oh you want the song now, ok why dont you come up here, go through the 100's and 100's of cds that ive got here, cure it up, and drop it before the end of THIS tracks ends, like i said ill drop it in 5 minutes when i have a chance to find it" :teef:

but in all seriousness, like jaz said, if you havent heard it, its a possible dance floor evacuation track :P

the parties that i have done for mates have been pretty aweosme in that i have full creative freedom, if i do requests no one is really too pushy, but on the odd occassion a couple have been a little too pushy and i did what defkon said, basically said 'ill play it, but you gotta find it for me. theres my cd wallet, go through it and find the song ur after' she was happy with that, and i didnt have to waste time looking for it :thumright:

You know how to solve this dude, do what the clubs do, works treat...

Get a clipboard, set up a simple column list document, artists 1 side, song name other side so they can write it down easy, so then when people come up annoying you while your Mid transition you just point to le clipboard

Do what me and a mate did at a party we had a clipboard with paper taped to the wall with a sign saying requests above it then another sign below the clipboard with an arrow pointing downwards into a bin :teef:

ety logic

Played at Moorebank hotel last night alongside Starfuckers and Kato.

Had a cheeky warm up set so dropped alot of bouncy tehcno, tech house and electro.

Overall was a sick night, the usbs were perfect and didnt play up plus the Starfuckers killed it as always.

Just did a gig at a massive party, it was called Fluro Fest. It was fuckibg crazy!!!! Was about 200 people, Wanted to see what it would be like wearing a mask. Wore a mask a painted Matt black haha. Peeled the roof off for like 2 hours. It was so much fun. Loved it, all the hot girls from school that I never had a chance with were

Frothing..... I had a mask on though so they didnt know who it was. I took my mask off and walked out and they walked straight past me going " I want to find out who the Dj was" I was frothing but I bet if I told them they wouldn't believe it. Anyways played what I personally like and people frothed. I feel sorry for the other DJ's because they didn't even get to play and they just traveled for 2 hours and got nothin because the cops rocked up and shut the party down . Left my gear at the place because I'm walking back to my mates house that is on the other side of the city haha.

Enough chit chat thanks for reading guys :)!
