what's the strangest thing that ever happened during your dj or live pa set?

What's the craziest or strangest thing that ever happened to you during your set?

In the world of rave, club and dance music culture there is no shortage of freaks and freakish occurrences. I have a few stories worth telling but I bet you BOA users have some better ones. Lets hear em.

A piece of the ceiling fell on my head during a rather large rave in waterloo, london, whilst I was mixing..
For a moment, I just thought I had come up on some serious chemical cocktail (I was slightly trashed at the time, hedonistic days), but indeed it was a section of the ceiling, as some of my crew rushed over to check if I was ok.

I didn`t even drop the mix.
Ah, the good old days.

I was playing a techno set at a small club. It’s going pretty well but I’m sweating like crazy because I’m playing on 3 tables, it’s August, and there is no AC in the club.

A group of my fiancé’s friends are there dancing and clowning around in front of the tables, blowing kisses, and shaking their bottoms in my direction just to be funny. Soon I notice that some unknown gal is up in front of the tables doing the same sort of stuff, but it’s a little odd because I don’t know her.

So this girl is dancing around pretty soon she starts flashing me, pulling up her shirt and skirt. Meanwhile my fiancé’ has left the dance floor. Then the girl comes up to the tables and gestures to me as if she wants to tell me something. Like I said I’m sweating profusely and I lean towards her. Well instead of saying something she straight up licks the sweat that is dripping down my cheek off of my face and winks at me.

At that moment I kind of freaked out, I’m newly engaged, my fiancé is somewhere near by and in all honesty having someone lick the sweat off my face is not really my idea of a turn-on. I wave my hands at her in the “get the hell away from me motion” and she storms out not to be seen again.

It was pretty freaking weird and nobody that I was with actually saw it happen so every time I tell this story my friends are like “yeah right jak,” but it really happened!

That's what the **** I'm talking about.

I was playing this club in Hoboken, and I had this one girl with me that I was boning at the time.
Then this other gal that I was playing with straight shows up cause she heard I was spinning on some word of mouth ish.
I was straight busted right?
Psyche
I went up to the girl the minute she walked through the door and pushed her out
told her she shouldn't be here.
Needless to say I ruined my chances with an insanely rich gal.
But I still tapped ass that night.

Word.

i played at a party in a barn quite a few years ago where a combination of the bass from the system and a few folks walking on the roof caused huge lumps of plastery type stuff to start falling from the ceiling - luckily none of hit me but the decks weren't so lucky. It carried on for most of my set and a huge lump landed in my record box covering my tunes with loads of plaster dust - i wasn't impressed

[jk_scowling]

It's pretty tame really, but one thing i remember was when one of those plasma lights (the ones with the "lightning" inside, someone's bad idea of decor) fell off the top of a monitor, face down onto the turntable that was playing at the time. Glass smashed all over the decks, scratched my record, and stopped the music. Had to frantically clear up the glass in between mixes.

I went to play in a club which i wont metion to be fair to the promoters they where good lads in the wrong venue... walked in and got onto the fact that this new event was being held in the local cattle market scouse house club... the place was half full of ravers and half full of burbury shirts and girls with boob tubes and belts for skirts! i got on the decks following a dj playin a kinda minimal /house set ... i started with a zoid track and fair play the place did go off!! in front of the decks was a stage and a group of girls started dancing on it... next minute while cueing my first mix a girl leaned right over the dj booth from the stage and floped her boobs out right in front of my face!!!!
Stood behind me was my girlfreind who was not a happy to say the least! and she proceded to point out she will cave the girls head in if she dont pee off!! so spent the remainder of my set trying to make sure my girfriend stayed in the dj booth ...he he he that was a strange set!! oh and as we where leaving saw the girl who had a flashing problem kicked out and with only one shoe on he he he!

I was at this party right. But my mammy warned me that the house was haunted, but me being a young up and coming techno dj i just would not listen to her.

I was on da decks right. mixing dave the drummer in with Kalishas 'milkshake' and next thing a big scary ghost with a sheet on its head appeared out of no-where and told me to shut the **** up or else it was going to kill me.

lol!!!

I told that spooky ghost that it should 'go away' and annoy the dead guy from hardfloor or the dude from 65d Mavericks.

I shit you not.
