Right this thread is for all the amusing requests/things people say to you when your playing out. Everyones had some gypsy come up to them at one point or another and asked for something absolutely ridiculous!!! Some of my recents misfortunes:
- When playing an old skool set recently, I dropped 'Black' and when the first break comes in (as a build-up to the main amen) some pleb comes running behind the decks going "This is the shit version you've got. On my SS tape, he plays a version with a much heavier beat". Just as he said this the main break dropped, I just smiled at him, while he felt a bit stupid.
- The inevitable "Have you got Shake Ur Body/Bodyrock/Super Sharp Shooter etc etc". NO I FUCKING HAVENT!!!!!!
- Some gurned up monkey asking if I had any Fabio & Grooverider tunes, cos he'd heard them on Radio 1. Admitedly he wasnt a jungalist.
- But the one that annoyed me the most was when I was playing out a few months back, and I was playing b2b with some kiddy. Anyway, he dropped either 'Feelin U' or 'Dont Wanna Know' and as I was halfway through mixing out of it, some girl asks me to rewind the Shy FX tune. I pointed to the record I was mixing, indicating to her that I was in the middle of a mix, so what does she do? Reaches over, and rewinds the tune Id started mixing!!!! I couldnt believe it!!!!!! Needless to say, I stopped the Shy tune straight away, and played the other tune from the start, much to her annoyance!
