When djing and punters come up and ask....

[Aaron]

...for a specific tune, or to make a change to the style you are playing, do you just say yes to them regardless of whether or not you are going do what they ask, or do you just blatently turn around and say no?

Obviously sometimes its not gonna be practical to do what they've asked, like last month when I was in the middle of playing a melodic trance set, and someone came up to me and asked for Enrique Iglesias!!!

So was just wondering what some of you did in these situations

 

Cheers!

Scowl at them, fiercely, until they walk away and never come back.

WTF?? If I was djing at an event & someone asked or requested a choon, they would get a glare & a retort, something like *this aint a fecking cheesy club, now do one dippo!!*

Be non-committal!

 

I find the following phrase quite handy: "I'll see what I can do..."

i aked sum1 at the old fridge to play organ donors - in power. it was 5:45, i thought it would go with the set - and he did

[Daredevil Tony]

I''d tell the punter's to fuck off because Im picking the tunes!

[Squirrel]

Tell them, when they start djing, they can pick the tunes. Till then fuck off! Unless it is a good tune of course...

if its not a trouble to fit the requested tune into your set if youve got it then id try my best to play it. yes people asking for stuff can be annoying but think of the buzz said person would get if you played it, its not much to ask every now and again

 

other than that 'will see what i can do' is the best you'll get from me

[Ian Cashman]

i'd tell them 'i am not a fucking jukebox you ######'
