There was a thread like this a while back but I cant find it, and hearing about other peoples mistakes always makes me feel a little better. So thought it'd be interesting to hear people's embarrassing or strange moments they've had when playing out.
I'll go first...
One of the strangest i've had was when I played a little outside festival around MK about 2 years ago, was using traktor and decks at the time and started playing fairly new tracks (spectrasoul, enei, perez etc.) which, I thought, went down pretty well until some guy comes up to me with a crate full of old jungle vinyl and says what im playing is shit and I should mix more jungle. Doesn't seem too odd until you think about who the fuck brings a crate full of vinyl to a festival if they're not a DJ?
Few others include being booked to play a jungle set and realising I actually have about 5 jungle tunes, playing a set to an empty room (expect my mate taking advantage of the discounted alcohol privileges), getting so excited with cueing up a mix in the headphones that I forgot to actually fade the tune in, unplugging the wrong cable, plugging in countless shit wrong when setting up traktor & spilling drinks on someones mixer & cdj
So yeah let us all bask in the glory of other peoples fuck ups
