It always sounds intrusive! It is always a big deal! When a DJ is spinning before the band starts, the band members should not be tuning up their instruments while the DJ is spinning! This is seriously disrespectful to the DJ! It seems that some musicians believe that they are playing with the music, so it is no big deal. I have another pet peeve related to bands. PS - Can the Zurich DJs playing Cuban music stop playing 'Conga Tour' every night and several times per night?Ĭlick to expand.Yes, sir! That is one of my pet peeves! I totally agree with you, groovetpt! I'd especially like to know about the DJing culture around where you all live and what people go for. To me, it seems to that by trying to show of their DJ skills, the DJs are doing more harm than good but I'm curious what other people think. In these cases, only about half the people leave the dancefloor. I tend to say thanks, but newer follows will sometimes not notice the change and feel like I'm dumping them half-way through the song. A few times they've even beatmatched which confuses everyone as to whether we should change partners or continue since the beat never breaks. Also, by cutting off the last notes, I feel like I sometimes miss out on the signature part of the song and the dramatic ending. I've found it a bit more chaotic to say thanks and bye and so on. Here in Zurich I see a lot of DJs not playing the last few notes of the songs and crossfading songs together. I learned to dance in the San Francisco bay and the DJs there never beatchmatched and even the crossfade was done rarely and when done it was in a way that let one song end clearly so you could say thanks and look for another dance.
