some loud ignorant dickhead comes up to you during a vinyl dubstep set and asks if you can play mt eden (they pronounce it emtee eeden i might add :lol: ..numerous occasions people have said this)...you then say its a vinyl set and he hasnt got anything even released let alone pressed on vinyl and then they say can you plug their phone in to play the track?

really what can you say that isnt offensive?

this is the kind of thing i am experiencing.... :(

this is what the dubstep brand means now days i guess....awful music and a license to get the dj to play it if he doesnt play said awful music..

i should add i was playing mensah at the time :lol:

clearly mt eden pisses on mensah...he probably likes better d&b than mensah as well given that he said he likes roni size cos he mcs over his own tracks :lol: :lol: :lol:

i think its time to make a new genre....

On topic. In the middle of set the other week, while warming up for Slugabed, I had a woman come up and ask me to play something modern. The track at the time hadn't been released yet ffs.
70% of punters are deaf. There for the drinks or the drugs. Worse still, there's probably a few that are there to just to be able to say they went see DJ x or y and give even less of a fuck what's going on.

i love ministry!
you never have to play what people ask for but the best way to shut them up is to play something amazing that makes them forget they had a bullshit request in the first place. if they are unfazed by amazing then burn their house down i guess.

in a perfect world, i'd totally just toss their phone into the crowd. however, i'd think the ensuing fight'd be hard to mix thru :D

If I were you, I would've slapped the phone out of his/her hand and screamed "YOU SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH WHEN I'M PLAYING MUSIC THAT DOESN'T SUCK BALLS" and then, as yoseph said, play something awesome instead.

don't play venues/nights full of dickheads imo. possibly easier said than done, though.
