I was playing techno and a bit of ghetto at a house party in Chicago more than a few years ago and this WASTED guy came up to me. It was about 3 or 3:30 in the morning and this guy could barely stand let alone speak in a manner to be understood. He keeps shouting gobbletygook at me so I finally ask him WTF he wants. Quite clearly he says "I'd like to hear some Neil Diamond." Lo and behold, look what gem I brought with me to freak out the tweekers at 4:20. So I put Sweet Caroline on and the guy dances around for a while and comes back. He puts his hand on the table the decks are on to lean over and talk. He yells "That's the shit man!" and his hand slips. His forehead lands on the spindle and he knocks his self out cold. Now theres blood all over the tables and I've got another half hour to play. F*ckin' hell.

My most memorable bad gig was years ago at a night in manchester,which had a mixed music policy of acid techno,hardtrance and hardcore techno.A guy called medicine man,resident for havok(acid techno night) was booked to play peaktime but couldnt make it for some reason or other,so i was asked to fill in.Great i thought,till i got there and discovered the majority of the crowd where gabba heads.Lets say, they werent to pleased when i came on at 12bells and the dropped the bpm to 145 from 220.
60 minutes of abuse follwed,with people shouting "Put some techno on!!"etc.etc. Yeah...that was a bad one.

Hahaha…. Love this thread. I’m pretty impressed by the two guys who actually had the Neil diamond and journey records in the bag. That’s the shit!!

I was playing d&b at a local club 5 years ago. It was a Sunday night and a crowd of barely 10 or 15 people was there. Pretty soon a group of girls who had the look of off-duty strippers walks up to the tables and one gestures to me as if she wants to say something.

Girl: “hey, don’t you have any Christina Aguilera records?”

Me: “I’m playing drum and bass, I wouldn't have anything like that”

Girl: “what’s the point of being a dj if you are going to play s#!t that we can’t dance too.”

Me: “I’m spinning a specific style of music, I don't…”(girl cuts me off)

Girl: “You aren’t here to play whatever you want, you’re here to please the customers. We’re f*#%ing leaving…


I guess she told me......

i think with dumb requests like that, those people are probably new to the club/electronic scene and don't know how the dj works
