both times i've played out dubstep at a mostly dnb show, someone will come up and say "play it faster" ...while the pitch is already at like +7%

a couple of years ago i had a woman at a party say "enough with this rave shit" while plasticman or slt was playing. by "rave shit" she meant she couldn't tell it apart from techno or house, and by "enough with" she meant "let's put on some tragically hip."

Anyone who says this in an attempt to be amusing should be stabbed.

"How do people dance to this?"

The best one I've got was "this sounds like a hellish apocalypse theme song."

"were you on crack when you made this"

my top three:

1. it's cool, but can you play something faster?
2. how do people dance to this?
3. sounds like d'n'b on 33 (comments on breakstep)

Bombardment of Saturn am I right?

A couple of weeks ago, a girl, having not heard any dubstep ever, commented on my selection pre-emptively: "But your music is all mwo-mwo-mwoo" (originally "mömmömmöö", as that might clarify the emphasis for some of you). I was just going to switch on some Gorillaz, but after hearing that expression being used I played the Boomkat clip of Pinch's remix of Red up. Fun.

That bootleg remix of Minnie Riperton's "Loving you" should be distributed freely so you could convert all the girlz. Another agreeable mash-up I've stumbled upon is "My love", done by some Danish producer. The synth is golden and the track actually had a dubsteppy pace all the time.

Nope, rubber chicken by Caspa. Thats a sick track though

'could you play something a little less... scary?' (in reference to 'lightning')

from another DJ, though the floor was packed during anti-war: "dude, play some beats!"

??

i get a lot of:
"its not exactly melodic is it?!"

"put on lemon"

"does the bass have to decimate the area everytime you play dubstep?"

"WHATS THIS? I CANT HEAR YOU!!!"

"This sound pretty cool, I thought you were one of those r&b kats" <-- nob

"

this weekend, random dreadlock girl: 'have you got something a bit more danceable?'
(while playing out ancient memories - skream remix)

i actually took the time to explain it's half tempo and she would be fine if she tried dancing double speed. lost cause though.

even better was the drunk lunatic giving me angry looks while playing kromestar's surgery, some weeks ago. classic.

big up for everyone taking their time to reply this thread.

I knew that I wasn't alone with all those weird remarks, still Im used to it from long time. Listening to Hip House, Deep House, New Beat in late 80's and early 90's, Acid House, Detroit Techno later on to reggae and dancehall. How could I forget about Drum and Bass?

I remember one bar gig where the local drunks shouted to turn of the "crap" when I was playing Elephant Man and the owners looked at me like I just dragged my cock in their coffee cups.

Ps. You gotta love those folks who come to a club and ask the dj for requests.

I've been asked to play Johnny Cash. Seriously.

"Turn the bass up" and "Turn it up" is shouted quite often in Red Star.

fortunately i have had nothing but positive feedback.. most people are very curious about it... asking "what is this stuff its awesome" "who is this" or "damn these beats and bass lines are sick"

cheers =]
