I did “DJ” in public once when our local allowed randoms 20 minutes on a single turntable. In that time I managed to play a James song at the wrong speed and stuck on The Man Don’t Give A Fuck so that I could grab a beer.

I’d quite like to do a DJ set where all the songs were in G major or something

Used to DJ at my old work and ran some nights there. Did one under the name ‘DJ Unremarkable’ with ‘don’t say you weren’t warned’ as the tagline, and did a few under the name Tim Cruel.

I have started buying lots of terrible white label vinyl of 90s dance stuff. All I need is £500 to get a sweet pair of turntables

once got talking to the owner of a record shop on a night out and he asked me to DJ at the shop birthday party a few weeks later, just for an hour or two slot in among some other folk. i spent the next couple of weeks thinking about what i’d play in my set but then i never got any messages about it. but also my laptop subsequently broke and it was taking me ages to load all my music back onto the new one so i didn’t follow things up on my end either.

the shop’s closed now. oh well.

(was just gonna play stuff off my laptop as i’d have no idea how to DJ with actual records. tbf i’ve been with a friend when she’s been DJing before and she’s just plugged in her phone and used Spotify)

If you’re not just streaming music from youtube, including adverts, you’re trying too hard

i’ve definitely heard a few Spotify ads playing over the PA before gigs in the past

I used to have a student radio show :’(
When I’m out and about I couldn’t give less of an arse what’s playing really though, well, not nearly enough to spend the night dictating it

Pushed some buttons on some sort of unattended dj system in a bar once - accidentally created a loop of the intro to get your freak on by Missy Elliott, whereby the song never kicked in. It was playing for a solid 10 mins before anyone noticed.

Actually I do remember jumping on for five minutes once when my pal needed a toilet break and played Girl U Want and a bloke came over and told me it was the best song of all time. He was wearing a sailor cap. Yep

Standard feature of the indie club night used to be someone accidentally making something loop or getting the high pass filter stuck on and not knowing how to turn it off.

I was going to do a dj night once where we played all the songs really slowed down.
the night was going to be called ‘slow motion’
this was before all that paulstretch stuff as well
we didn’t ever do the night

I also once did a dj set with a load of Japanese records I found in a bin, I didn’t have a record player so I didn’t know what any of the songs were going to sound like

also dj-ed before a oneotrixpointnever gig and he came over to find out what we were playing (a load of witch house stuff I think), I didn’t know know what he looked like at the time

had an occasional dj night at uni called ‘mutant disco’ - people didn’t like it very much

am I a good dj?
