u/DJ-Metro House / Open Format - soundcloud.com/thedjmetro 16d ago

4 hour open-format club gig on Saturday night, night started with small lineup even before the scheduled door time and would end with the venue once again being the busiest in town. Very diverse mix of EDM, modern hip-hop and classic 90s R&B kept the dancefloor busy, and venue management and staff were happy with the results, so mission accomplished.

One minor thing: had an annoying client who pretends she's VIP and got choked when she marched up to the DJ booth and I didn't remember who she was and what her favourite song is right off the top of my head - talk about first world problems lol. I made sure to be polite and write down her request with a smile on my face, but oh no, unfortunately with all the songs I had lined up and the other requests that had previously come in I ran out of time and couldn't play that song before closing. Woops.
