NEVER wrap a cloth around and hide the cables! You should always have an absolute mess of cables, preferably with a light highlighting them. Then take a pic and post it on one of the Mobile DJ sites. Then stand back and wait.
It's much like saying on here that scoops can't do bass properly. :D |

Exactly the reasons I don't do discos anymore apart from the very odd one. I used to love doing it years back, but its all changed now. just isn't the same,and I don't enjoy it anymore. Sometimes you barely have anyone on the dance floor no matter what you play. Seems to be more problems than ever now with venues and organisation, and people in general, and what with too many Dj with £100 worth of kit from cash converters out there that will do a gig for next to nothing to make sure you can't charge a price to make it worth your while, it's just soul destroying. Plus I've got arthritis in my spine, and just lifting kit makes it want to crumble to dust and drop out my arse. Sure you could get someone to help but by the time you split the money it's not worth it for either one of you. I'll stick to live sound, much more fun and can charge properly. |

The only fun disco gigs are friends and family, where you get a hand with the loading, and you can get as drunk as necessary.
I recall setting up one such event, and leaving my partner happily in control of the both. By the the time that the noise cut off arrived the bar manager had to visit him 3 times, and by the last visit he was drinking straight from a bottle of Captain Morgan's finest in open view of her and all else. Needless to say he didn't look so clever the next day, but it was a very fun evening. |

I thought maybe the mobile dj scene was better in other areas than it is around here, evidently not, I also only do the odd gig these days for many of the reasons mentioned above. At the last gig I did a few weeks ago in a venue I've been dj-ing at fairly regularly for the last 17-ish years I just couldn't seem to enjoy it, and to top it off at the end of the night I had to haggle with the (fairly recent) landlord who was so pissed he could hardly talk to get my pay from him, at one point he actually had the cheek to offer me £50! My reply to this was to laugh in his face and politely tell him to 'f*ck off'. I had a phone call at about 5pm on a Saturday afternoon the week after asking could I do a gig there that night as he was desperate, my reply to that was pretty much the same as above.

I only take written requests now, few good reasons:
Asking them to write down their request(s) gives a little order to the event for me, and something to show to the host afterwards if they comment on the music. And yes, many times I look at the requested music and ask myself 'why don't I give that a try' and many many times it works; stuff that I wouldn't have thought of playing in a million years (mainly cos of bad memory ) Edited by BJtheDJ - 10 April 2017 at 11:37pm |

Sad to hear it's not just me. I used to get such a buzz out of doing discos, pretty much dread it nowadays. Got one to do this Saturday, Wish me luck boys!
Oh and why is it everyone at parties now particularly the ladies seem to just be there in order to take pictures of themselves and do reports for Facebook and all the other popularity contest sites rather than actually enjoy the party? |

I did it for years, 76 to 96. Everything from Weddings to Residency in Ibiza. My mate describes my attitude to it now as Post Traumatic Disco Fever. I actually tried again a year or so ago and just became so damn angry at the utter social retarded mindset of Joe public I vowed never again, poxy fat old ladies dressed in curtains asking for Queen, sallow faced selfie queens, tons of beards standing outside vaping. Same party in 1980 would have been amazing with nobody giving a damn what genre the music was, just having a good time. The pictures bit: We made fast cars when we were young, but kept the exhausts quiet so old bill didn't hear us tearing up the streets. Now they have 50hp Corsa's with an exhaust that says, "look at me". Its all look at me, ego, pontificating and no substance. A very disturbing snippet. 1 out of every 10 photographs ever taken in human history were taken in the last 12 months.
