Lately, I've been feelin' DJ Quik & Suga Free "Do I Love Her?"


But a quick cut and paste from one of my favorite threads reveals this priceless gem from the one edpowers:

fuck the previous dj...run the needle across whatever bullshit record he was playing..(that way you'll get the crowds attention)...grab the mic and say "YA'LL MUTHAFUCKAS READY FOR THE REAL SHIT SAY HOOOOO!!!!!" at this point drop a loop of Flash's theme by Queen on -8 pitch then lead the crowd in the call/response of your choice
something like "when i say dj...yall say ... (insert dj name here) ...dj ... (name)... dj... (name) "

then say "big shout to (fake celebrity who really isn't there) in the house..i see you dog...imma bout to do this....here we go "

then transform scratch into whatever song you choose to play..

The first time I did Wonderland after they got that CD Jukebox upstairs....someone was loading it up with a bill while I was setting up....I think they were pissed when I started!

yes, happens all the time at this one little bar shingaling and I DJ....there is a wall between the bar and the space where we are set up...we can come in, set up and get rolling without half the bar even seeing us, so I guess they still think the jukebox is still going while we are playing. I wonder if they get peeved that their Johnny Cash song never comes up...

Nope, but I've seen a regular put on his iPod earbuds and read a book at the bar. Thanks for coming, sport.

Ditto at the BREAKFACE! spot. And the jukebox is right next to the dj setup. folls roll up and don't even notice the shit-ton of records they are tripping over and dude with a big pair of silver headphones on the decks.

That is too funny! I had the same thing happen to me and he was NEXT TO THE BOOTH MONITOR with plenty of other seating options. How weird is that? And it wasn't even 'iPod Night' !

Tonight's The Night - RedMan

Yes. Also, Rise- Herb Alpert or Bounce Skate...

 

[gambit]

I always "bless" my sesssion with "The Lord's Prayer" by Sister Janet Mead. It always bugs folks out and it sets the mood for whatever I plan to play.

 

[bobbydee]

I like to open with a "give yourseld a stereo checkout" over the intro to "in the mood" by Tyrone Davis. If im on last or get the house party "wind it up" motion i like to finish with "if you've never been away" by ulrich schnauss. Get the fuck out, but heres a tune so you do it with a smile.

 

[wooshie]

I like to start with "Strokin" extended 12" mix by Clarence Carter and I play that shit all the way through.
