I am spinning at club on Friday night - a ladies only party that happens once a month at this particular club with one particular organiser. The crowd is usually the same but fickle and the organiser seems to want to please them all, I quite admire her courage and tenacity for doing so but unfortunately as we know we cant please all the people all the time and have to suffice with pleasing 80% of the people most of the time. Its a great party with loads of potential and between 300-600 people almost every month.
The organiser has decided that she is having 4 guest DJ's: 1 she hasnt heard but she thinks might be popular, the 2nd DJ who has a different style whom she isnt really sure the crowd will like, myself and a buddy who have worked together before and some live act doing some song......and hasnt really organised the line-up properly, her comment to me was " I cant really get my head around the music issue this month" WHAT KIND OF COMMENT IS THAT????? Music is everything, music is the vibe, music makes or breaks a party! AND DJ's need slots!
My personal feelings:
1. DJ'S ARE TERRITORIAL AS HELL and why shouldnt we be? I must have impressed someone to get the popular slot.
2. Parties and clubs should be organised from word go. Designated times by crowd choice.
My solution to the organiser was simple I will do the early set, 1 guest DJ do the middle set and have someone else do the late set. Simple solution. Or a 2 hour set each at designated times.
The last time I was at this same club some amatuer pretty little blonde got behind the DJ box and bust my headphones it was a lack or organisation on behalf of the organiser who insisted the girl do a set - NOT THIS TIME BITCH! YOU WANT TO BE A DJ - YOU GET YOUR OWN SLOT!!
