SolDios Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 Had a mad 18th gig sat night. got there at 6:30, had everything setup by 7, started playing, tried to kick it in then guts at 9 to start everyone dancing. Then got asked to cut it back to after speeches.(Had just moved all the stuff from my trailer, it was quite a big hall). My new tv remote isn't great at low light.waited till speeches ended at 10:30 and kicked it in the guts, had everyone in the room and slowly but surely got them in the mood and started dancing.Some girls came up and where requesting "WHERE'S SOME QUEEN B (Beyoncé)". I knew this would clear my dance floor in a matter of seconds, and if I let them go outside to the bonfire I would have lost them for the whole night. I made my excuses and use my usual "Il play it when it's suitable", even thought the only time it was suitable was NOT anytime tonight . Not to mention it was "Run the world" they wanted, which was one of her more terrible songs.Anyways, after a while the crowd really started to loosen up and get into it. Really good having a crowd who actually wanted non commercial stuff. I made a rule to play something they knew once every 3 songs to keep them interested, which I highly recommend as it worked really well.Played mostly electro house, electro and R&B, which im really starting to get used to playing. It's getting easier to mix every gig now!anyway, we wrapped up at 1am, as they had to clean and be out by 2 am. Had some alot of people come up and ask for business cards. Even had some people come up and tell me I was better than a huge dj down here, (Oreo Bass). because I actually listened to what the crowd wanted, and played for them rather than myself.Biggest hit for the night:Temperature -Sean Paul Quote

MelodyIlliterate Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Nice Sol!What gear are you running atm Sol??I think I read it somewhere but it seems to escape me and I can't remember where I found it Quote
Lurk6r Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Joint 18th/21st on sat. It was one of my worst gigs ever. The brother (21) invited all his guy friends, the girl (18) all her girl friends. Guys wanted hard house, girls wanted 80s. They left went I played a song they didn't know and didn't mingle at all. It was like a tag team party. Their parents were happy, said I was worth the money (they pay $450 for 4 hours) and took heaps of business cards, but I'm dissapointed. Here's a pic of setup. Quote
MelodyIlliterate Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 girs wanted 80's? whathuhfu?unlucky mateunless you had copious amounts of 80's remixs destined to fail bro... Just jump back on the horse Quote
Lurk6r Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Jessies girls, Grease megamix, girls just want to have fun....Oh, and I was on a sound limiter, couldn't go past 1/4 volume on the sub Quote
GREMM1S Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 All your gear or what looks cool?Lol wouldve played the hard electro, thats why i hate doing any house parties these days. Quote
Lurk6r Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Yeh all mine, I'm gonna sell the old lights and slowly go with mini moving heads and my current lasers Quote
mattus123 Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 thats a sexy light setupthat sucks man, u woulda thought that if it was a joint party and they were gonna hire a DJ they would've come up with a happy medium.musta been good enough if they were asking for business cards thou Quote
GREMM1S Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 I know aye, shit like 80s and rnb/ pop is banned from my wallet lol Quote
