Someone actually once said to me they can't dance to it because they don't know it. Does this happen a lot?

its true in mainstream clubs here in cali. not all the time, but i remember one time going to a club, the dj was playing top 40 crap, and then he changed into a banging tech house banger, but it cleared the dance floor except for the few people who listen to that sort of music.

people are so ignorant, if it has a banging beat, just dance to that shit, its not rocket science

relevant little anecdote: friends and i threw a party at my house and managed to get a decent sound system together. once the alcohol was running its course, people were really vibing, having a good time. some biddie comes up to the table and asks for some black eyed peas tune. i tell her i don't have it, she says okay, and goes back to dancing

10 minutes later, a friend of hers comes up and asks for the same song. i tell her that her friend came up and asked for it, and that i don't have it. she proceeds to tell me she can pull it up on youtube and play it off her phone. i say no, she sulks away. she mouths something to some dude, and he comes up and asks for the same song, for a third time. i'm frustrated, friends also take note, and tell him to gtfo of my house.

my house, bitches

More than you would like to know. Getting friends to request the same song as well...

bahahahahaha, yea ive had similair experiences at house partys.

I remember at my mates 21st last year i was playing, and a group of about 8 chicks kept coming up asking for 'we dont speak no americano'.... long story short,
i dont have it so i couldnt play it, one bitch got angry and tried to steal my cans, so i told her to fuck off and she ran off crying (drunk) and fell down the stairs at the back of the house (where the party was) lol

... honestly, i hate drunk bitches.... except for when you get them alone

i think the problem with parties and clubs in america is that every drunk dumb bitch thinks they can just walk up to the dj and request whatever the fuck they want, apparently clubs aren't giving the people a heads up ahead of time as to what genres of music their playing.

if its a top 40 mainstream shit club i understand, but the broads who walk up to well known electronic music dj's playing smaller venues and request a track need to be shot

agreed.

haha i always see DJ's complain about this, i've seriously never had this problem but then again i think i dont play to crowds like that i've never played top 40 or done a general mix of tunes to a party or anything like that.

do they not stop to think that the black eyed peas might be a bit distant in style from what your playing?

LOL “your laptop and your favorite 10 songs, and you’re good for a 6 hr set…” ROTFLOL This just had too many good lines in it…

ah man, love it! got loads of stories like this, two that come to mind are when i was playing "lean fwd" and got asked to play some dubstep, and another time when a couple 'ard youts askin me to take my headphones off whilst djing so that they can use them as a mic, when i refused they tried to tell me how they were in roll deep and started hassling me to play some flow dan whilst skeng was actually playing ahahah still makes me laugh!

Not being funny but the way that Video was made sent me 7ft under with all that Microsoft Speech bollocks. But i get the concept. Always seeing people requesting tunes.

Yeah always happens...I was playing my first show and it was an electro/house set and it's like 12h30 and the dancefloor is packed with drunk girls dancing,and there's this idiot who comes up to me "hey man can you play (insert song name I don't remember) by Genesis...I look at him and I'm like "DUDE are you gay or what??/ There's a dancefloor full of drunk girls dancing their asses of and you want me to put some GENESIS on..come on lol.
But yeah all night long people were coming to ask random songs like I'm a fucking ipod..Do I look like I have all of your mainstream top 40 crap?

next person to request the dougie will see my tiger style

not saying i'm well known or anything but i was playing out doing a set of mainly my own tunes and some girl comes up to me requesting some band or something (and she actually used the "its my friends birthday" line) whilst i'm mixing, it's kinda disheartening when you put so much effort into making tunes and something like that happens, i just told her that i didn't have any other music apart from stuff i'd made which was the truth and to ask the next dj thats on after me, which is a good tactic to stop continuous hassle haha

this

you're starting to make my brain hurt!

this happens all the time at house parties. I've also tried people at dubstep dances in Denmark requesting the musik to be "HAAAAAAARDER!" and i tried having the same guy asking for datsik 1000 times the in one hour. It's life as a dj... learn to live with it.

if you ever play in a club which has a standard room going on as well you get this all the time. fuckin fustrating.

the worst is people shoving phones under your face with the names of tunes on just as your trying to do a double drop or something
