Never mess with a DJ during his set...

Oooooooh... a layered mix. Wow.

She needed to be put in her place, and he's done it in an effective way that she won't soon forget. Going by previous posts, it sounds like this wasn't the first time she'd bugged him.

So, he reacts at the expense of the crowd. Why does this make him your hero?

Doesn't matter how many times 1 person bugs me... I am not going to react by lowering the volume on the music for EVERYONE ELSE there. Both of them acted like selfish fucks.

Personally, if I was in the crowd, I'd probably be cheering the guy. If I'd be annoyed at anyone, it'd be at her for interrupting.

I'd boo the DJ for lowering the music over such inane bullshit.

If she'd just come up to talk, make requests or something along those lines it'd be a different matter, but physically throwing herself at the DJ when he's mid mix? That's over the line.

No one said it wasn't. His reaction was over the line... that is the topic of discussion.

Edit: I just re-watched the video clip - note the cheers from the audience when he does it!

So? What does this prove other than there were idiots in the crowd. I mean, if his set was so good, as you claim, why would people cheer when the music went away?

Very unprofessional. Dj's need to be prepared to be working around these types of conditions. He could have addressed the situation to security.

Jimanee could mix CIRCLES around you any day of the week...but carry on putting your foot in your mouth.

True that, unfortunately I could not touch the skill level he is at.

Wtf...I leave DJF for a little while for work and we get shit like this up in here? Haha.

IDK, I'd say the DJ looked like a douche to me too. Nothing that would make me kill the music to yell at someone.

There has to be at least 1 person there for you to be able to do that.
