Fuk my life. DJ's worst nightmare in club came true.

[HITSTICK53]

curious why the house has no mixer for you to use OP, or do you just like bringing you're own gear? I understand bringing your own mixer if it's nicer/has more features you use, etc., but it comes in handy to use house equipment at certain places to avoid things like this.

Best case scenario you either get compensated from the guy who trashed it or the club gives you partial payment. I doubt you'll be able to get the full amount replaced which suuuuucks hard.

I remember when I was DJing I've had drinks spilled on my comp before, roommate had his trashed by someone, I've had headphones get ruined, etc. It's actually a lot harder than most people think to keep drunk *******s from fcking with your gear, especially when you're involved in the mix and not paying them full attention

god I do not miss the "Bro play party in the USA/lady gaga/katy perry" days "bro you got any wiz? he's hot right now bro"

brb requesting a 40 BPM change to hear some downtempo rap at like 1am when I'm mixed up in 128 BPM house electro/remixes

The house has a a Rane 57, but I always liked how much more complex of a set I can do with the Xone 4D, **** is just amazing. I guess I did learn the hard way though. And I feel you 100% on all those points, the last thing on my mind while doing a set is monitoring idiots.. apparently I need to re-prioritize lol

[megacyberninja]

kewl story, tell me moar plz

Wtf is that in your avi?

[drangel254]

what song played while This went down?

[HITSTICK53]

I'd rather hear fukin Sandstorm at this point.

How about this?



Always wanted to drop this or Heaven Scent by Digweed into a set but not sure how it would go over.

[Achilles8]

OP what kind of tracks you listen to @ the gym?

[HITSTICK53]

OP what kind of tracks you listen to @ the gym?

actually usually Drum & Bass... Old Pendulum and Netsky lately.

[ckz]

i bet the song he was going to request sucked too, sorry brah.

[AmericaDreams]

obviously they didnt like your **** music and obviously you are too poor to get a new one. That means you must be ****.

Give up

Right right, Rane are pretty much industry standard for most clubs, my only beef with them is I used to run Traktor and they're pretty much hardwired for Serato, but I mean to each his own, that's the reason I'd provide my own, and yeah, I still would take an Allen and Heath over a Rane, the Xone 4D is a SOLID ass mixer, sucks it had to go down like that.

Idk man, I know some places don't really have dedicated "booths" that are like raised or separated from the floor, just try to do as best a job you can from people hovering or entering, give em the "one minute" finger and tell them to wait for a free moment, **** if you have too it seems kinda gay but I've seen DJ's who have clipboards or "lists" (actually not a bad idea, fcks write down songs and never hear them lol just say you couldn't get to the whole list)

The other thing is I used to let my best friends "spliff star" for me and just hang out by or in the booth basically to help rile people up while I was working but also to handle drunk brahs and bitties and their requests, granted they weren't there the whole time but it was helpful when they were

[Achilles8]

OP how did you get exposure to this kind of music... and becoming a DJ etc? Random question, but i'm curious.

Yeah regardless of what happens I'm gonna try to push for an extra security guy on staff responsible for the stage and booth.. Seems like they're a lot more concerned with keeping tabs on entrances and breaking up fights

OP how did you get exposure to this kind of music... and becoming a DJ etc? Random question, but i'm curious.

When I was in 3rd grade I picked up a Razor & Tie compilation album that had all the hottest house and trance tracks from the UK on it because it had a cool cover. After I struck gold I started spending my money on electronic CDs cause this was back in the day of 56k internet and no easy way to download music. For my 15th birthday my parents bought me a Numark kit that had 2 turntables and a mixer in it with a few old-school tiesto, sasha and john digweed vinyls. I started collecting vinyl and kept DJing and around the time I went to college I started doing house parties, then got offered random gigs at clubs, then eventually a residency.

One of my favorite songs ever. Very serious. Issue with tunes like that is the break is so fukin long the dancefloor gets bored. Sure you can hang a beat over it, but it kind of ruins it. This is why I can't spin any trance, no matter how much I love it. THe dancefloor can't handle the long builds. I'm pretty well stuck in top40sremix/mash / electro and a bit of house. Would love to play some Faithless. If I'm lucky I can mix some steve angello knas in there without losing all the fukkin college kids that jsut want to D-D-D-D-DROP THE BASS

Theres a CHildren bootleg I can't find, from Trance Arts and Colin James thats absolutely amazing as well.

[bertostare]

Sorry to hear op.. lets hope for some good news right

[gentao]

that sucks OP sorry to hear

[iLoLd]

[midnightapple]

first world problems

Cheeky kunt.

[Sebt1890]

I can't even explain to you in words how much everyone loves any variation of levels you could ever possibly play. I'm so INCREDIBLY FUKKING SICK OF THE SONG but it has to be played at least once, sometimes I try to switch it up with a Cazzette remix or something but its still starting to drive me nuts.

I know that feel man I ear muff myself when any form of Levels plays. I can't explain how much my rave friends hate him haha

OP drop this song bro, it'll get the people goin

[Procta]

oh lawd BT is so sick

[_zman]

Sucks to hear, always wondered how you get started mixing and DJin'.

I'd make the club pay for it or threaten to leave unless under contract. Fk em.

[m1canes29]

obviously sue him for it dude. It was 100% his fault. Say if he doesn't soon you will also sue for the $$$ you could be making from gigs that you can't do because his actions are not letting you.

[hidden_fist]

yeah good call man, I'll crack it open and get after it. If they offer to replace it though regardless I'd take it, I don't want this chit thats already been damaged to go crazy during a gig somewhere down the road

Just send it to an electronics repair, it'll cost maybe a few hundred but it will be like new

[Bothang]

did u test him for tren?

[HITSTICK53]

so its impossible to play trance at a club because the dancefloor is full of *******s? :O

i dunno what i'm gonna do, i mean, most clubs that i know (because i know a few dj's) they play tech house/minimal and i dislike that music very much

and i'd be pissed if soe drunk ******* did that to me, were you tempted to break his face?

I've found I can get away with trance at a rave where people really enjoy the music, but it moves a little too slow for a club. Realistically only like 25% of the crowd will know all the tracks you play, and the rest of them just want stuff to dance hard to and party. There is clubs that are known for trance, or Drum & Bass or whatever subgenre, but for your traditional club you have to keep changing things up or the dance floor gets bored.

also I tried my hardest to not swing at the guy, but I realized taking a shot at him and getting the club sued is a good way to ensure I never get hired again.. but the thought was def there.

Just send it to an electronics repair, it'll cost maybe a few hundred but it will be like new

You don't think the damage was permanent? I'd be stoked if it can be repaired if they refuse to replace it. I always thought an A/C adaptor + water was instant death for the board inside?

I really don't know much about electronics lol

[Hucking_Fell]

the person who did it isn't under any obligation to pay for it. sorry to hear OP and i hope you have insurance and/or had some compensation going with the club - which i doubt.

So if I drive my car into your ****ing house I have no obligation to pay for it? Retard. He damages/destroyed his property, he is liable by law.

[TaylorBoss]

he was actually trying to get me to play that one rap song thats like.. 'ass ass asss ass ass ass stop, make that mother****er hammertime'.. its a fukking electronic music club too.

all of my wat

Sorry about that OP just wanted to hear the song that wouldnt get outta my head this is it..
