FIVE REQUESTS DJs REALLY HATE

Deejays turn the average parties to awesome events, making our time worthwhile. However, despite their easy-from-the-outside-but-not-so-easy-when-you-try-it job, there are still certain individuals who insist on making their lives a living hell while on the decks.

We spoke to some of the deejays we know and found out what kinds of requests they hate the most. These are some of them.

5. “Hey! Can I have a go at your decks? I’m really good…”

These are some of those douche bags who are used to playing around with their ‘virtual deejay’ software and are convinced that they are the best at it. They see real decks and they assume that they can do a better job than the deejay playing. If they are too drunk, they might even start giving instructions and points to the real deejay. If I were the deejay, I would let you have a go at my fists.

4. Silly questions like, “How much did your deck cost?”

This right here is the last question a deejay would want to hear. You being more interested in his decks than the skills he’s trying so hard to show off is really disrespectful and annoying. Plus, why on earth would he tell you that? And all other questions that fall into the category of utter nonsense, please remember: A deejay is not here to small-talk/make friends with you. You can go do that with your date, your friends, or with the lady you’re trying to mack on. Keep it moving.

3. Out of genre requests

The event description clearly states that this is hip hop night (or any other specific genre) and a very confident stupid lad requests for a song that is off the specified genre. Further more, he makes it worse by stating exactly which genre it lies in and asks why it is not being played since it’s so popular. And this person never goes away. They think that by asking fifty times then they will irritate the deejay into playing their ‘legitimate’ request. Mr/Miss Agressive Song Requester, the deejay knows you all too well. All they have to say is- seriously???

2. “Please repeat that song for me…”

Dude, you do know that the deejay has his music planned/set out, a particular flow of songs coming up, a schedule to stick to, right? You are not the only one in the club who’s enjoying the music. A lot of people find it irritating when they hear the same song ten times in one night. Plus what does that say about the deejays priorities? He/she will not annoyingly keep repeating hit songs to get one person happy. Better carry your i-pod with you next time you decide to drop in.

1. “CAN YOU PLEASE CHARGE MY PHONE FOR ME? JUST TEN MINUTES. I’M SEATED RIGHT HERE. I’LL GET YOU A BEER…”

What the hell! #)&£”*^)&@”&$!! This is just straight up ‘madharau’. Your phone blacking out on you is your own problem, and NOT the deejay’s concern. This is probably the point where the deejay is about to go all crazy on you.
