Coolest moment with a DJ?

First anecdote copy & paste jobby from an older thread:

One of my best exploding moments EVER was when I was on the podium in front of the Turnmills DJ Box when the Chemical Brothers were playing for Together.. I was just grooving away, and every now and then Tom would give me a grin..

Then I hear the whiney sound of first part of 'Hey Boy Hey Girl'.. I'm looking at Tom expectantly, but he's looking over his glasses smugly at me, enjoying the torture.. it builds...and builds...and builds.. by now the entire club is wetting themselves in anticipation...

When Tom finally lets the tune drop, my head explodes and I pogo around like a bloke who's pissed on a major power line - the cool thing is, Tom's doing the same thing, grabbing my hand over the dj booth and jumping in time with me - I'm a maasive fan of the chems and HBHG was MY theme tune to most of my mates so this was just mind blowing!



A very close 2nd is when Jo Mills played my tune to a packed mainroom at The Cross for Vertigo. She was doing the two handed point at me constantly during the tune, then grabbed Claudio Basile, and pointed me out to him as well. When the big breakdown kicked back in and all the "cool" people were abslutely losing it, I thought my head was going to explode I was so buzzed! 8O :lol:
 
From what I remember, kicked my ass with Dhalsim. BUT he did have the advantage of being is a reasonable state of mind...

i can't think of any one moment, but my boyfriend used to organise the biggest monthly club in finland so i've met pretty much everyone.

one of the most special things was in winter music conference 2004: the global underground boat party with 150 invited lucky ones. there was sasha, lee burridge, nick warren, the owners of global underground, label bosses, promoters, producers and the best music played by sasha and nick and free drinks 8)

dancevalley 2003 was cool too, i had an artist bracelet and had some mad backstage partying with tiesto, carl cox, deep dish etc.
 
was working in a nightclub back in england and had the task of looking after the djs, one night felix the housecat was playing and got absolutely battered after downing a bottle of tequilla straight and doing various drugs, wen i went back into the dj booth to bring more drinks hed fallen backwards and got wedged inbetween the lighting equipment behind him and cudnt get up......cudnt stop laughin for days

Mine would have to be dancing next to Sandra Collins in the middle of the desert at the Burning Man Festival (2003)! She was dressed in costume... spinning an amazing set at 'The Opulent Temple', just waiting for the sun to peek over the mountains! There were other costumed/dancing revelers who seemed to be dancing in unison at that perfect moment in time! Definitely Unforgettable!

It was also equally amazing seeing Sander Kleinenberg spin in San Francisco! I kinda had a PachaGirl moment....except without the champagne! Sander dropped some bass and I threw my hands up in the air......he looked over and made eye-contact with me (despite the full-capacity in the club) and gave me a smile and a nod! It was so cool getting getting noticed by my favorite DJ! Another moment i'll never forget!!
 
Some of you will know this story from Members RIP and my Jon Carter episode.

It started off a couple of years ago when Jon Carter (my fave DJ and future husband, well only if bigamy becomes legal and I can have both him and Tom :lol: ) was playing Ministry. I'd assumed my usual podium position and while he was playing my friend Phil who's Ministry promoter introduced me to him while he was DJing.

Phil to Jon - I'd like you to meet my friend Sarah
Jon to me *kisses on both cheeks* - Hi I've noticed you dancing on the podium all night. You've got a great pair of legs.
Me *swoon swoon, giggling like a school girl with a crush on a popstar* :oops: :lol:

Now at this point I'm lost for words and those who know me will know I'm never lost for words so I start babbling :lol:

Me to Jon - Where's Sara tonight??
Jon to me - She's down in Brighton tonight with Zoe and Norm. Do you come to Ministry often, who are you down with??
Me to Jon - So if Sara's down in Brighton who's looking after Snoop??

For those of you that don't know, Snoop is Sara Cox's dog. What kind of question is that to ask your fave DJ :oops: 8O :lol:

Jon must have just thought OMG who is this crazed stalker, she even knows what my dog is called :oops: :lol:

Jon to me - Errr the dog sitter is looking after him, I'm hoping she's took him for a long walk cos he'd better not be laid on my bed when I get in :lol:

Well we make a bit more chit chat and I think it's best for me to make an exit before I completely embarrass myself and show myself for the true Carter stalker I am :lol:

Then a year later me and Tom are in Neighbourhood for a midweek sesh and Jon Carter is playing. It's the start of the night and we're having a couple of drinks and I need a wine so Tom gives me the money to go to the bar. And as I'm stood at the bar who comes and stands next to me but Jon Carter.

Me to Jon *swooning* - Hi
Jon to me - Hi, oh I remember you, you're the girl with the great legs from Ministry.

At this point I'm ready to collapse with the excitement of it all so I hastily order my spritzer.

Bar lady - That will be £x.xx please.
Me *as I hand over the money I suddenly realise that Tom has played this 'funny' :roll: trick he always likes to play on me when I go to the bar and not given me enough money for my drink and all this is in front of Jon Carter :oops: * - Errr sorry I haven't got enough money I'll just have to get it off my b/friend.

I go stomping over to Tom who has seen the whole episode in all its glory and is pissing himself laughing :evil: :lol:

Me to Tom - Give me the right money and don't think you're getting any sex for a month :lol:

So I go back to the bar trying to maintain some dignity and give the bar lady the money.

Bar lady to me - Oh no don't worry, that nice man has paid for your drink.

So from this I can take a positive that Jon Carter thinks I've got nice legs :lol: but he also thinks I'm a skanking toerag who can't even afford to buy her own drinks :oops: 8O :lol:

Seeing Mr Sanchez at a DJ Show in Earls Court and got asked to email him for a G/list place for RY Pacha Closing. 8)
 
Too many to mention - think I have gotten pissed/whatever with most of the DJ's I have seen, Holding hands across the DJ booth at Mambo with Mr Emerson springs to mind though :D :D - lovely soft hands!! :lol:
 
I've had some fun moments with some not-so-famous DJs who've come through Moscow, as the wife (Irina) used to work part-time with a local promoter. My most interesting famous-people DJ stories are probably these:

Story 1: Halloween 2003 (think I might have told this one before)
Raging party headlined by Layo & Bushwacka in the main room and Neneh Cherry in the VIP room. After our friend James Fierce (of B'ham) finished his set, Neneh came on and looked to me to be a little too hammered to DJ. She was getting a lot of help from some guy. I wandered off into the main room for Layo while Irina stayed behind.

When I come back, Irina calls me over to introduce me to Neneh. Afterwards, she tells me that she spent a while talking to Neneh and her husband and that Neneh was apparently coming on to her. This all stopped when Irina mentioned "the husband". :lol:

Story2: Danny Rampling
I think this was also in 2003. Some people put on a party headlined by Danny Rampling but didn't do the best job of promoting it. I was there with Irina and our friend Scott (may have been others... don't remember). We were pretty hammered and stayed until the very end.

Danny, to his credit, kept playing until they made him stop at around 7am, despite the fact that there were only about 10 people left in the place by that point! 8O It's all about the stragglers.

As we were standing outside afterwards, Danny walked out and my very inebriated wide screamed out his name and he politely said hello. Slightly embarassing, but funny moment.
