    Default I am Soooooo Sorry

    You know, I come on here and defend my job to no end. I go to the bat and will get flamed from time to time standing up for what I do, and do well. But tonight....TONIGHT...I understand what some of you must go thru and why you bash, or dont appreciate the DJ's. I get it now, I do, and I am SO sorry you have to deal with that kind. I meen ....WOW. Heres the long and short of it.
    I work in two clubs right now. On upscale, one...well...not so. Anyway at my " not so" I had a chance to hear the other dj in action and WOW...um....WOW. Talking douring sets, saying unaproprate crap. And THEN....calling last call at 1145 on a busy night.....
    Im sory, your all right, some of us dont deserve 10% let alone 10 bucks, I never knew how bad it was girls, I never knew, I guess I was spoiled.

    YAY! Now you understand why I've got so much 'attitude' about overpaying the DJ

    *Walks on eggshells*

    From a customer's perspective... The only time i have issue with the DJ is when he tries to upstage the dancers. I'm not there to hear a guy say the word "Pussy" every three seconds. DJs in a SC are NOT the star of the show and should, IMO, be a part of the atmosphere.

    First off, DJ's need to have some class. This might not be important to many of the folks in the SC, but goddamn, why insist that we customers rush off to all that "Pussy?" What kind of a fucking word is that? How goddamn crass. If you are NOT a DJ that uses that word, then this has nothing to do with you. Class. You have a part in the way these ladies are treated, from the customer's perspective, they are either "Ladies" or they are "Pussy."

    Secondly, DJ's are not all that important to the SC scene. It's better to have one, but a jukebox with the dancers picking their own music is fine too, from my angle. I'm not there to hear some guy talk about great legs. As a customer, personally i like her picking her music, because she likes it and can dance to it better (If someone hate "Girls, girls, girls"... how the fuck could anyone dance to it?). A DJ is not a rock star. Don't act like one. Say your thing, then fade into the ATMOSPHERE. Sell, sell, sell, but too much is too much. Honestly, when a DJ is good I notice, but when a DJ is bad i just get annoyed (and it gives me a topic of talk with the dancer).

    WHOA, i'm not talking about you. I never heard you, man. Some DJ's are great! I'm talking about DJ's in general (because most of them won't shut the fuck up for three seconds at a time). Sorry i was not clear!

    I hear DJ's insisting "Look at all that Pussy!" all the time. And i mean all the time.

    Well, i just wanted to make sure. I'm not talking about DJ's in general. Well, i guess i am, but i recognize that many are good. And they are a pleasure. But many are just fucking lousy.

    MOST are just fekkin lousy.

    Like the one I worked with tonight. Has the most HORRID, obnoxious "dj voice" I've ever heard. Repeats EVERYthing he says, at least once. Irritates the hell out of everyone in the joint with his voice. Has no idea when to shut the fuck up and play the damn song. Wastes a LOT of time between songs yapping.

    His only redemption is he'll skip me on stage all night long if I want, and will put me up asap if I want. For that he still gets a nice tip.

    Unfortunately I think the mgmt morons actually think this guy is GREAT! He gets all the best shifts, even when the dancers say he's the worst. We just lost a decent DJ but a new guy has already been hired. The old day guy was supposed to be taking on more nights shifts, but apparently he doesn't YAP INCESSANTLY enough on the mic.

    This thread makes me miss our good dj at my job.
    He got fired a few weeks ago for something stupid like being late. He was great. He'd been doing the job for over 10 years and he would always play the perfect song for me. I didn't have to tell him, he just knew the right mood for that moment.
    I was still working through my list and he was helping me and hitting the nail on the head almost everytime.
    Now the new dj has my list of songs, but still plays the wrong ones for the moment. sigh.
    A good dj is so nice.

    YES, this is the main problem, as far as I can see! Management not only allows these guys with nasal, whining, irritating voices to shriek endlessly into the mike about "pussy", etc. They love hiring these morons, and turn away guys with class, talent, and style.

    I wrote an amusing story about my experience trying out at the Daytona Beach Pink Pony and getting shot down in flames (for which I was actually relieved--the place was the worst jack-shack I have ever seen!). The head DJ there was a guy who had been fired from the club I was at before for gross incompetence, not to mention being an idiot (he actually wore a non-functioning headset when filling in for a bouncer one night, in order to look like a bad-ass). I will try to find the link for anyone who might be interested...

    The one thing I have done that some people complain about is to talk in the middle of the song on occasion--but only when a dancer was doing something outrageously sexy or really going off, and the audience needed to be told to quit trying to ask the girl at their table for a date and look at the stage. The dancers love the attention, the guys in the audience go up and tip her a lot more, prodding other guys to do so as well. But I haven't seen many other DJs pull this off, and you really have to use discretion when doing this.

    It helps that I have a low, bassy voice so it doesn't distract, and I never turn down the music when doing so. Also, the bigger the club, the less you should do it.

    Later--also, playing the right music for the dancers is not something that management appreciates! In fact from my experience having the dancers really like you is a problem, and causes suspicion and resentment.

    The other night my club was trying out DJ's, and one of the try-outs started talking during one of my songs, which would be bad enough, but the stuff he was saying was so incredibly crass -- "Man, I wanna get my hands all over that," etc., etc. I was so fricking steamed I almost couldn't keep dancing. I spend so much time telling guys NOT to molest me, and this dumb-ass was egging them on to do it.
    GRRRRR! (I hope to hell he doesn't get hired. I put my two cents in with management about him. We'll see if they listen.)

    We're talking sociopathic personalties here.... the management and the tacky djs they hire view it as them against us... which is why they couldn't care less about playing the right song or not. And if the dancers like you, then you are on our side, which leads them to paranoidly think you are against them. These personalities are Extremely paranoid! The management personalities like to hire djs that are similar in thinking... if they weren't djs they would be used car salesmen.. just tacky, obnoxious, useless personalities with no talent. So if you didn't get hired, djoser, it's because you weren't "on their side". I've only liked a few djs out of all the ones I worked with and they were normal. The rest of them were heartless control freaks.

    I recommend dancers quietly rebel to get rid of bad DJs. When one says something that bothers me or distracts me, I stop what I'm doing, roll my eyes, or look at the booth. The management can't even nag me because the DJ at the point has already distracted everybody.
    At my first club, some DJs and managers would use whoopie cushions or razz problem dancers onstage. So, it could always be worse.....

    Here is a story of a really bad DJ...

    http://www.stripperweb.com/forum/ind...hat/t1284.html

    I heard he later got tossed out on his ass--quite literally--by the manager, a big shaggy ex-wrestler.

    I was actually very relieved I didn't get hired--I needed the money, but was really worried how I would handle working in such a hellhole.

    THANK YOU THANK YOU DJPhilly!!!!!!
    I have had to deal with a bunck this week that drove me nuts. Al I ask is that you play what is in my CD case, these are all approved songs that not everyone plays, they're upbeat and make me happy, as well customer's appreciating them. But instead I get random songs that don't fit together let alone fit me. Yikes! Thanks so much for taking the time to listen and understand where we are coming from!

    Hey hey BigGreen, never said it was you!
    Some of the DJs have been driving me nuts! And that doesn't help my tips on stage, I try not to look angry, but sometimes it just comes out. And who wants to tip an angry dancer? I know I wouldn't.

    I know sweety, I know who your talking about.

    The music you bring in is 100% on format for the most part.Thats why i dont mind playing it.I dont like all of it,but if it makes you money,who am I?lol

    The entertainers meeting is the 14th of this month.Your not the only one with this same problem.I think it should be discussed at the meeting.If you dont bring it up,i promise i will.

    Well, I did talk to one of them and he said he would play what I wanted, but I think it's one of those in one ear and out the other. It's not that I always mind them picking my music, it's when it doesn't fit the mood of the night, like it's a slower tempo than any of the other dancer's music and I don't mean sexy slow, just boring slow. And then he'll put on really fast for the next dancer! Not that I try to dance exactly with the beat, but two different paces, just doesn't suit.

    PLEASEPLEASE remind us all about the meeting! I definitely forget that stuff, blame it on the champagne.
