Got this email from someone wanting a gig at my night:

What the fuck could a DJ assistant do? Rack out the drugs? Get the beers in? Press play when told to?>

i used to do the "old farts" bit (ac/dc, hawkwind, iron maiden etc) whilst the actual dj fecked off for a bevvy and a blow job. was back in the days when we used cds and proper records depending on how old the track was
 
I was a DJ's joey once, when it was still only vinyl. I got to give away free copies of promotional records, mainly to girls that I fancied.
 
Well this was a first from last night:

You know how there's always an annoying person that rocks up when the dance floor is totally buzzing and insists that you should be playing some song they want to play? And you know when you get arseholes coming up asking to plug in their phone because you simply HAVE to play this killer track you've never heard of?

Well this guy came up with his phone last night demanding to do an entire back to back set with me!

When I politely told him that I don't know who he is, have no idea of what music he plays, I never, ever let people DJ off phones and - most of all - it's fucking rude to even ask, he got most upset.

He then tried to show me his DJ profile on his phone - maybe he's super famous but I don't give a shit - and seemed totally taken aback that I still wouldn't take him up on his offer.

He just stood their for ages, presumably waiting for me to recognise him, so I had to eventually shoo him away.

I was in Goa once.
There was a DJ duo playing poolside at the hotel complex.

My mate was like hey guys my friend is a British DJ (radio DJ that is, not club). Let him play a few tracks. I was like good grief no.

They like um okay. I was like I’ve only got my phone. They were like you sure there’s no viruses? I’m yeah like I’m sure.

Now the audience was largely Russian. They’re gone mad for anything with ‘America’ or ‘American’ in the lyrics for some reason. Also Black Eyed Peas seemed similar to a lot of stuff they were loving.

So I played American Boy and some Black Eyed Peas number. Nobody danced. I took my phone and ran away with my tail between my legs. Fucking mate dropped me right in it.

I’m never phone DJ’ing anywhere ever again no matter who begs me.
