That's generally my go to response but the step-mom was starting to make a scene and I decided to err on the side of caution. It was also very early in my DJ career. Ten years later, I'm much more confident in how to handle that situation

Client is paying, client requests the song, who am I to decide weather or not to play it. Also, that song is a banger

I had this happen one time. Bride requested Prince's P-Control. It's like 11:00pm, Bride is requesting it, sure. Her step-mom comes up and starts yelling at me for "playing this that my grand babies can hear" I fade out and mix into something else, Bride and her friends are all like "what the...

I'm NOT and I'm still shocked this is still going

HOW IS THIS THREAD STILL GOING?

I don't know about parties, perse. but I've done some Juneteenth celebrations (mostly providing sound). For music, don't feel limited to just rap/hip-hop. Since it's a celebration and recognization of the date when the last group of enslaved Americans heard about their freedom and in general...

My town hosts an "all class reunion" every 5 years, which happens to fall on my "5 year" anniversaries. I went to the 5th year since everyone was still in college, legal drinking age, and like 99% single. We got kicked out of one bar and moved to another (why the organizers booked OUR class - a...

I played it early in the night this past weekend and got a pretty good response. I quick mixed out of All I Do is Win into the original Jump Around by House of Pain and then into this.

I'm of the opinion that a little good will goes a long way. I'm working as a sales exec for my day job and while it kills me that a customer complaining about something that isn't in the scope of work wants money back or wants free stuff, sometimes you have to give a little to get a little. I...

I started in radio in '96 but I don't have/couldn't find any pictures from that era. The earliest I could find was around 2006 or so. Also included one from one of my earliest dances

That's probably my number 2 most requested Grand Entrance song after TI's Bring 'Em Out

Can't Stop the Feeling never really popped off in my area, but I still get a pretty good response with Uptown Funk, but I'm playing it like RIGHT after something like Dancing Queen, September or I wanna Dance with Somebody or even Cha Cha Slide. I'm also usually quick mixing out of it

gonna echo what the others here say, Karafun I have a standing yearly Karaoke gig (I've been trying to pawn it off for years to lol) and Karafun is the best for that kind of one time gig.

I laid off a lot of these songs about 4 or 5 years ago, but I'm beginning to see them creep back into requests. I think it's because those people that are gettingmarried now, were in the formative teen and pre-teen years, so they get that blast of nostelgia. FWIW, I'm seeing a lot of...

Yeah that's who I've been working for for the past 10 years. I started when I went back to college at 35 lol the owner of my franchise has treated me very good so I'm willing to reward that with loyalty back

So my day job I'm a sales executive for a telecom company. I'm dealing all day every day with executives, CEOs, CFOs, COOs, etc. Sometimes they are multi-million dollar businesses and sometimes they are a single operator with a staff of 5 or something. All of our standard contracts state that...

Yeah, I was hoping to get across that I think $400 is too cheap (even for the venue I was talking about which is bare bones) I was more talking about the branding of "Fun for Four"

I think the way you have it laid out (I looked at it via my iPhone and my computer) looks fine but requires scrolling down. I don't know if you could make the packages collapsable, so they can just click on the package they are interestedin. Also (and this is minor), I don't know if I'd call...

I'm so booked up right now, I've only got three weekends available (the first 3 weeks of Dec). The last couple of years, I've done a school's winter formal just before Christmas. I haven't heard about that one yet, but the wedding I just DJ'd this weekend, a couple of the girls working for the...

I try to cooperate with photographers to help them get the best shots. I generally don't use the laser until later when they are finished and if they need it I go to white light on the Gigbar Same! And I hear the same horror stories from photographers. I'm like "why would anyone run derbys...

I have a couple of the original "Gig Bars" and the washes are what I use...probably 85% of the time.About a year ago, I was in a very intimate, very cool venue (It was the loading dock of an old newspaper office, so lots of really old red brick) and it hit me like a ton of bricks. All I needed...

I've been using mine for a number of years, nearly everyweekend, and it's champ. Never had any issues, which is why I haven't upgraded tbh. I keept it in a flight case, clean it after every gig, and make sure that it is stored flat and not upright.

I'm currently using a Numark Mixdeck Express. I wanted something simple to use when I moved to a controller and just haven't upgraded

Oh I hadn't thought about Bring 'Em Out. I like that, thanks for the tips

So it's been a hot minute or two since I've posted here, but I had something come up that's got me a little stumped and I'm hoping for some help. I'm doing a same-sex wedding this weekend and the ladies getting married decided, kind of last minute, that they'd like to do a double bouquet toss...
