Horror DJ pictures/videos ! Posted on: 15.11.2011 by Makkins Clifton Warning: This thread is only for DJs with steady nerves and propensity for self-flagellationPost pictures (and eventually videos if you're out of ideas*) of situations every DJ is afraid of or which just hurt when watching them. I start: This photo was taken at the Future music Festival in Melbourne Australia * Save the others time and don't post videos of CDJs failing on Tiesto. Everyone has seen them (and mischievously grinned) by now. | |
| Lilliana Perris 17.11.2011 | HEHEHEHE...I will post it up for you guys. Was in 2005! Still good music tho....Psytrance! Jester will know the artists. The first 4 tracks worked so well. 1)Abomination - Dividend 2)Tickets - Cash 3)Scorb - Lets go Raving 4)CPU - Black Mamba 5)Digital Talk vs Azax Syndrome - Hagi Gat 6)CPU 7)Twisted System - Twisted Tiger 8)Damage vs NRS - Disruption Will try and locate it for you ...if you really that keen. I played Shift - Megatron at number 4 at the party....but left it out of the actual mix. |
| Makkins Clifton 17.11.2011 | Now you made me (us?) hungry as well. Where can we find the re-recording of this legendary mix? |
| Lilliana Perris 17.11.2011 | Indeed! Was just CDJ1000's and a DJM600 mixer. The more it rained...the more people came running from downstairs to the roof! Was Epic to say the least. Power cut out like 4 times during my set....but made the crowd so much more hungry for it. That set (guest slot at this Organization) earned me residency with them for a year. I re-recorded the set and till today it has had the best feedback from all my mates etc. A mate took his car in to be serviced and came back without my CD in the deck (it had been there for months....he kept listening to it) and asked me to burn him another copy. Ahhh...the good old days! |

| Neal Rayome 17.11.2011 | Yeah, and instead of bitching to the sound engineer, they simply thanked the guy for solving it quickly... Tiesto could learn a thing or two from that |
| Makkins Clifton 17.11.2011 | That is awful but they really did the best they could. |
| Neal Rayome 17.11.2011 | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYXG83wOeMs I remember being at this party. The sound was out for half an hour, while we kept getting soaked through and through. Ahhh, those memories |

| Queen Sichel 17.11.2011 | @ that last guy, guess it's happened to all of us at one point or another. Thankfully seems like most DJ-gear is built for that kind of torture. |
| Makkins Clifton 17.11.2011 | last one is so classic. |

| Abram Chapo 16.11.2011 | The worst one for me was during a warm-up set for Tiefschwarz using a couple of CDJs |

Once it started up again the only tune i could believe of to start over again was "Is anybody out there?" by Bassheads. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y915Zj5Sdec |
| Lilliana Perris 16.11.2011 | I have also played in a club where the plugs to all the power were where my knees are when standing in the DJ Booth. (Cement one.....) After drinks and smokables, i was jumping up and down doing my thing and BOOM....no power. Realized what happened and turned it on again, but it took about 30 secs. No one really worried about it....except my mates. They ragged for for the rest of the evening . |
| Makkins Clifton 16.11.2011 | That gave me the idea for a pretty cool blog-entry. Hell yeah. |

| Janyce Henningson 16.11.2011 | Kinda dj'ing? I believe... Not enough controllers |
| Makkins Clifton 16.11.2011 | I shat brix. |
| Queen Sichel 16.11.2011 | At least for us laptop folks: |

| Laurene Kestin 15.11.2011 | The PA should have at least 2 fuses on the main amp, so might get away with it there. All PA gear in festivals is kept behind the dj. Normally Just a couple of EQ's really by the dj and thats it. I've been stage side AAA to several festivals and have seen this be the case. But i guess it's upto the sound tech dude on site really how wires and sets up the gear. |

I've also seen FOH amps rained on before - 20mins to showtime too! Not pretty! :eek: |

About 10 mins into his set the heavens opened up and we got our usual summer flash flooding. The place was knee deep in water by the end and was pretty much a pool party. took a few picks, but sadly my camera & phone did not survive the onslaught of rain. |
| Romelia Stankard 15.11.2011 | oh my god those CDJs do not look happy and this makes my stomach turn. |
| DJ MENSAH 15.11.2011 | Great post, Id love to see more of this stuff. (sadly I have no such material) Edit: actually forgot that I missed one such catastrophe, read on. |
