while i was staying at (but not attending) university of rochester, during
their annual outdoor "fun" day whatever, a friend was dj'ing and playing
some records on behalf of me and my friends. she was playing drexciya, ur,
lfo, suburban knight etc etc. eventually some fratdude walked up and angrily
requested that she stop playing "old music" and put on something new, "like
bryan adams". except it wasnt even bryan adams it was something even more
cheesey 80's crap but i cant remember. and this wasnt during the 80's, this
was 1996 or something. i guess his thinking was synthesizers & drum
machines=80's...unfortunately the music immediately shfited to bs after his
complaint
The funniest question I ever heard was from a guy asking a friend of mine
at a Drum 'n' Bass party where my friend spinned some nice old school
breakz if he can put the breaks out of that techno....
hahaha....
also a girl asked me at a party where I played some deep techno stuff if I
can put in some bass whilst there was a bassy deep techno track was
runnin..... hehehe....

hell out of old circuit breaker tracks and seawolf, UR acid rain 3 , stuff
like that...and this kid asked him to stop right now (he was messed up)and
turn it all off....now this was in a warehouse at around 3:00am with like
1500 people... jon told him no, he was doing his thing... so the kid took a
running start and jumped over the turntables and tried to grab the monitors
behind him and put his own head into them, and knocking one of the
turntables over....needless to say the music did not stop cause the record
was playing on the other turntable, and i am not sure what ever happened to
that kid ;-)
