astonishingly that is one of two times i've DJed for 8 hours straight.
the other time is just less exciting to type about into a MacBook Professional ComputerBookTop™® cause it was merely at the friday-night-saturday-morning afterhours nightclub residency i used to hold for a while before i moved to SF (thusly also in seattle, also thankfully bill-gates-free) where, for some fucking reason, the other DJs booked for this one night / morning in particular that i would have otherwise / typically split the time up with did not show up, so it was just me spinning from 2am til 10am.
while more boring to type into a MacBook Professional ComputerBookTop™®, i suppose this is technically way more of an accomplishment as a Professional DJ™® than just playing 8 hours at a dojo sex party considering at the sex party people are generally just gonna keep doing... whatever the fuck they're doing... and i'd have to really intentionally go out of my way to slaughter the mood to get them to stop, whereas keeping an afterhours club going singlehandedly from 2am to 10am which equates to: keeping the dance floor going without anyone getting overly exhausted (and in the case of someone like me who actually gives a fuck about music, this includes also doing absolutely nothing to pander whatsoever either, considering i also have zero music that's mainstream by US standards and will never own nor play a top 40 / radio remix in a millon years), keeping people coming into the club at those crazy hours from outside while also maintaining the existing crowd, and also keeping in mind the kitchen's open now so there's also a segment of people just fuckin around and eating breakfast food and they need to stay in the club too without getting annoyed, is definitely a much taller ask. and these friday-night-saturday-mornings didn't even always make it all the way til 10am even when the other DJs booked showed up with their respective crowds as they normally would - but i fuckin carried it the whole way entirely on my own one morning regardless. so i guess that's a thing.
but what fun is that to type about into the internet. |
