I support 3 year old old ladies who used to be bank managers too ... dude you are chatting bollocks here ..... how can you possibly have a conversation with a drunk while you are mixing ?
yeah those people can indeed be a problem! A few weeks ago a friend and myself were spinning DnB back 2 back. Someone came asked some Lady Gaga! I compromised by using some very commercial songs (DnB though) and loose some of the heavier, less vocal, tracks.
As always another great video man. Some people like Survivor or whatever current reality nonsense is showing these days, I prefer ellaskins videos. Always a pleasure to watch. Even after being a DJ for a few decades I learn a thing or two from you and always get a healthy laugh.
13 year old drunk kid at a party came bothering for a rap song I didn't have in my playlist so I kinda synced in the song from YouTube from my laptop I had connected to my controller lol
like ur views i have been to clubs are parties where no1 is dancing to the dj nd ill go nd get every1 dancing but he will still be playing music people dont realy like nd if i take them a popular tune or cd that will blend in most of time they wont use it nd every1 has shit time until they go to diferent club
But hey, I cant really feel sorry for any DJ that has to put up with drunks...hell if you dont like drunks you shoudlnt become a DJ should you? Sht thats your main audience right there!
Whats next, police complain about having to deal with robbers...cmon guys...
Every DJ should know how to act around drunks and they should make them happy because thats their main consumer there and if its a club dj then the drunk guy is wasting good money to be there.
@SleepCatSleep Thing is, those commercial pricks get into Clubs whereas the non Commercial, technically good DJ don't get recognition at all.... The Most Clubs in my town are more a Radio with lighting, than a Club... and I'm standing around being annoyed because the DJ sucks hard!
Get the bouncers, Just joking good upload, topic. If the crowd is going with what ya playing ask the crowd over the mic if thats what they want and get a vote thats democracy. Ask the organiser or host? mabe . Let him know it will effect your set. Your building up to the good stuff. Its alot more simple if your DJing a lot of cds and not mixing i guess. It depends largely on the venue and the and the type of DJ you are. Spike his drink with a rowey. Just some thoughts. Cheers
I find, from my mobile DJing - Drunken girl = speak to them, don't be a charmer - remember they want a request for the girls. Drunken guy = always be polite, shake his hand if you can as you've put him on the same level as you - and try and play his request or "sorry not got that one with me".
Never get into a slanging match (fetch security over) and, if the person gets violent - stop the music, grab your master fader - do something that will make the crowd turn and look at you and help!
Be polite and show respect to a certain degree, but don't let them take the piss out of YOU either....It's a fact that nowadays the best way to deal with some people is to stick your fist down their throat.......it's all they understand....NEVER be a doormat....alchohol does not cause ignorance...it amplifies it....twat the cheeky cunt.
Is it not possible to hypnotize them!? Seriously though this is great advice, respect people for who they are, I totally agree with that, Jonathon you're a legend!
Its very true what you say, even though this isn't the newest of video's, the point is still relevent today, that the happyer you can make "drunk" people feel, the better they enjoy their time, the more they enjoy their time, the less hassle you get. No music will entertain EVERYONE in a room, so its a matter of learning how to cater for the masses while NOT leaving the odd few people out. Music is a great and easy way of doing this, but your voice on the mic can help alot too!
So say someone comes up whos not drunk or anything and is just interested in what your doing, asking you about equipment or the songs and not making an idiot about themself, do you find that a nuisance or does it not bother you?
good stuff and i agree (not that im a dj) but it would seem a bit more humble if you admitted sometimes we are all that drunk guy rather than the way people put down drunks :)
If you are playing in a decent enough club or at an event, security won't allow any drunk douchebag, or anyone for that matter, to talk to the DJ, outside of people that the DJ allows.
@xxxIronLeexxx that is very true actually. but it highly depends on the city and environment. lucky for me in berlin clubs dont have much security so I have actually been able to hang out with erol alkan, a-trak and boys noize because the security was so loose. often times, ive noticed that the djs are probably drunker than you...haha
Man that helps, Im new to this and the second party ive played at had soooo many of those people. I got so pissed off but it was an okay night. thanks for the tips
Haha, this reminds me of the situation between Steve angello and Paris hilton @ wmc last year ! The bitch wanted him to play hip-hop and when he refused her boyfriend slapped him. That's when stevies bodyguard beat the shit out of her boyfriend haha lol ! If that ignorant bitch ever came to me asking for hip hop I wouldn't even bother with the psycology and just tell her to f*ck off ! :D
I've been djing in an out of strip joints and bars for a while and if its not some drunk stripper coming up and screaming in my face, or some janitor who just got done working out a lashing on his kid or whatever his crap problem is, the job wouldn't be nearly as fun. A considerate (but sarcastic) smile is the best thing you can do to make it even worse, but the joke is all on them. I had to learn fast how to deal with ignorance. The worst though, are the slobbing spitter drunks who never leave!
i remember playing some masta ace once and some girl asked me if i've got any girlsaloud. crazy shit, so i said yes and put some gravediggaz on. that got rid of em. hahaha
as an aspiring dj this is very good information. i have my decks mixer and pa now all i need is some lights and the little things like what this video describes. thanks for all the information, keep it up.
Wow! This is great advice! At the club where I play, the DJ booth is practically in front of the bar- there is no separation between the DJ and the crowd at all, and I get people hassling me all the time. I had this one drunk chick kept drinking my beer! argh!
This is great for the people who want to talk to you. But what about the people who just want to "be there" crowding in and getting in the way?
im 17 and at my first gig i was surrounded by kids at a school dance giving request. so i told somebody to get me a pad and paper and started a request list and told them i would play the songs as they came on the list.........but i lied and people danced anyway
if you give a drunk the song he/she wants, the person will come back, thinking "ah the dj likes me and my choice of music, he needs my help picking the songs". Happened to me: I played a track for some blonde who kept bugging me about it. The second that song finished, she returned to the DJ booth, holding her cell in her hand, showing me her goddamn mp3 playlist. "Yes, and play this, and this, and this". Thanks, but no thanks.
Bullshit !!!! First i wanna see him doing that while setting up a beatmix right...second if you do it like that, 5 more drunks will step up doing the same fucking thing........so i tell them politely that i will take his request in consideration but to please let me focus on my job here.
Lol I was Djing at amy school and this girl kept going mental at me because i didnt have this song it wasnt the sort of song I would have as it was rare and she wouldnt stop touching my mixer so I said ok i have found it so she walked away and I put Slayer - Reagning blood it went down well lol... well 99% of people found it funny
there are many good pionts BUT you can't change every single record just because someone wants to change the music. If the crowd watch, they think everybody could make a wishlist! The style of the DJ is gone. That is what i am worried about.
Here is what has happened to me. I have had a guy come up to me, I did what you said and then played the song he picked out Then he came up after and knocked my turn table of security came took him off. long story short my sets were over and I had two broken turn tables mixer fuze and fader broke It was a bad night
That happened to me! A drunk guy walked and asked if I had anything that was good. I was playing house music and I asked what did he like instead of house music and he said Toy Dolls- Nellie The Elephant!
I said "I loove that track, It's amazing!". He looked suspicious as in "are you taking a piss?" To prove I wasn't, I sarted to sing the "Oooooooooooooooo........." and he started to laugh as hell and then we both started immediately to sing "Nellie The Elephant pack her trunk and said goodbye to the circus! of she road with a trumety trump!trump trump trump!"
And he became my friend from the rest of the night loving my house music and dancing during all night, always with his beer (of course) HAHAHA (talking about dèja vu, eh?)
dude i just got into this great art of Djing and i saw all ur videos..great help..thanks!! ur doing a great job keep it up....provide more for rookies for beginners..how to start wat to start with, what u need to be a dj..all this thanks bro! peace...
Got one for you. When someone comes up to you and asks for a track you haven't got? Happened to me a few times. I've tried the "Sorry I haven't got that one" and got "You're crap" and I've tried "I've got a set that I'm playing at the moment, but I'll try an squeeze it in later" knowing that the punter's drunk because their breath melts your eyes when they talk to you and you hope they'll forget by the time they've finished their next drink. What's the best excuse?
good advice, but do you really have the time to talk to this person? You know, most of the time I spent on beatmixing, adjusting equalizers and scrolling through the tracks...
What about wen thy ask 4 something you know will kill the dancefloor like i was djayin 2 a crowd of like 16 17 18 yr olds and i had them goin to rnb but i knew that oasis would kill the mood wt do i do?Luke
my standard response to "play a good record" is now;
what is your favourite genre?
which artist in that genre do you prefer?
it has an amazing effect :p even though you dont have/dont want to play their song, they still think the dj is on their side, and not an opponent they must bypass to get their song played. brilliant jonathan!
good advice although some drunk people dont wanna talk they have a pre concieved notion and have made there mind up about you without knowing you, no talking to them, unfortunatly.
Hey jonathan, HEEEELPPP !! ... most of the times.. in mobiles.. they get a chair and sit next to the dj booth.. it gets annoying.. Wot should i do then ???
Wow man youre so clever you know everything great job, thanks a lot for helping us....respect the man that lives on the street even..say hello..respect all life.
Bang on Johnathan. It is always important to relate to the drunk. I almost try to tell them what they want to hear to keep things from escalating. I try to end with a handshake as a sign of understanding and to politely suggest that the conversation is over.
Very important to also watch the patron's drink. Alcohol and gear do not mix
That's when you get the bouncer or the manager over. Club/bar owners want you to be able to do your job because it makes them money. If someone's interfering with that, they'll happily toss them out.
In teh club i work at... a few weeks ago, a guy threw a drink at the dj booth... for whatever reason... (probably by accident) but it got all over the mixer and such, you have to make sure to be able with these kinds of situations. Alos have a sheet with paper for sog requests (and or suggestions), so you dont always have to talk to the people when you are mixing (ie "not wasting your time")
What do you do if you, the DJ, is the one who's drunk & inebriated... ;-P
I think we have all, at one point or another, been in these situations. Drunk or not, its always best to treat others with the same respect you'd expect from them.
man, good advice! That applies not just to dj'ing but even live music (band)! Really, if you think about it, anything in life involving those types of people! Thanks!

To prove I wasn't, I sarted to sing the "Oooooooooooooooo........." and he started to laugh as hell and then we both started immediately to sing "Nellie The Elephant pack her trunk and said goodbye to the circus! of she road with a trumety trump!trump trump trump!"

Got one for you. When someone comes up to you and asks for a track you haven't got? Happened to me a few times. I've tried the "Sorry I haven't got that one" and got "You're crap" and I've tried "I've got a set that I'm playing at the moment, but I'll try an squeeze it in later" knowing that the punter's drunk because their breath melts your eyes when they talk to you and you hope they'll forget by the time they've finished their next drink. What's the best excuse?

good advice, but do you really have the time to talk to this person? You know, most of the time I spent on beatmixing, adjusting equalizers and scrolling through the tracks...

Nice work Mr. DJ Tutor!
I love your philosophical side of djing too, which is, probably, the more important side of it in the long run.

What you suppose to say to the same drunk guy that wants to PLAY A RECORD from your consolle? :D
alteregoclick 4 years ago
my standard response to "play a good record" is now;
what is your favourite genre?
which artist in that genre do you prefer?
it has an amazing effect :p even though you dont have/dont want to play their song, they still think the dj is on their side, and not an opponent they must bypass to get their song played. brilliant jonathan!

dnbpip 4 years ago
Bang on Johnathan. It is always important to relate to the drunk. I almost try to tell them what they want to hear to keep things from escalating. I try to end with a handshake as a sign of understanding and to politely suggest that the conversation is over.
Very important to also watch the patron's drink. Alcohol and gear do not mix
DJOmega80 4 years ago
Good ideas!
But I'm thinking of another situation: How should I behave if somebody who is drunken succeeds in touching my turntables/mixer and destroys my work?
Continue? Start again? Quit?
Thanks

That's when you get the bouncer or the manager over. Club/bar owners want you to be able to do your job because it makes them money. If someone's interfering with that, they'll happily toss them out.

you forgot to mention some other issues.
In teh club i work at... a few weeks ago, a guy threw a drink at the dj booth... for whatever reason... (probably by accident) but it got all over the mixer and such, you have to make sure to be able with these kinds of situations. Alos have a sheet with paper for sog requests (and or suggestions), so you dont always have to talk to the people when you are mixing (ie "not wasting your time")

What do you do if you, the DJ, is the one who's drunk & inebriated... ;-P
I think we have all, at one point or another, been in these situations. Drunk or not, its always best to treat others with the same respect you'd expect from them.

What makes you think he's Welsh? Because Dj Tutor lives in Wales, doesn't mean his Welsh. Also, does he sound Welsh to you? Not to me.

That could be the next competition question.
Is the DJ tutor really Welsh?
Clue: what's his second name?
