why i love DJing...

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

what can i say :lol:

i've always liked dropping in a 'curveball' tune here and there, and started playing stuff like the original 'gimme gimme gimme' and 'jolene'.. ironically of course :D after that i also started playing 'rasputin' every now and then because its a damned groovy tune... then it got to the point where the regulars were actually requesting it :o

you cant beat a bit of trashy 70s disco to end the night with ;D

Nice you were able to close your set with a non-request... :lol:
I like these calm little moments before the storm. It reminds me of Beethoven. Can you hear it? It's like when you put your head to the grass and you can hear the growin' and you can hear the insects.

aye :lol:

the guest djs had been told that they were invited to 'do their thing', and as such not many requests got played for the main part of the night.

as were usually a very request-friendly club i had quite a few to get through in a very short space of time :o

Don't you have the advantage of playing to a room full of, ah, people of differing genders? :wink:

And bloody Safety Dance, that effing song is everywhere I go. Is it some part of the DJ's code, that you must play it to a load of Goths at any opportunity?

I have a soft spot for that too. I used to dj for a proper Roller Disco. That was ACE !!!
I like some 130 bpm Gay Disco stuff like Silvester et alii. :wink:
