I play synths for Fuzzgun Sniper and write the songs / play guitar for Siouxsie Suicide, both bands are based in Scarborough.Going to add some of my tunes on here once I get round to it (converting stuff into mp3 is a pain), but mainly this is an info page for my DJ nights.I first started DJing at parties in 1997 whilst at university and have been a regular DJ / club promoter since 1999 when I was forced into action by a complete lack of decent club nights in my home town.I started the night which became CORROSION in 1999 at The Cask. We then moved to The Northway before finding our long term home at The Jolly Roger. The DJs were Deadguy, Larva, Gary Baldi, Richard and The Edger.DEATHWARMEDUP was the Whitby version of Corrosion and started at the Resolution in 2000 and after the first couple of years moved to The Rifle Club up until 2005. The DJs were Deadguy, Larva & Gary Baldi.I started NEW BREED at The Mariners in 2001 to try and filter out the metal crowd who had started coming down to Corrosion. Ultimately New Breed became a much more successful night but was never as much fun to put on as Corrosion or DWU. Between 2001 and 2006 New Breed also ran at Planet 2000, Kazbah, Vivaz and The Pickwick. There were also a couple of guest DJs in the early days: Larva & Memnoch.SPITFIRE was my long awaited live band night which ran at The Pickwick in 2006, and I..ll be restarting as soon as I get some time. Bands that played were: Utoxator, Panda Lasagne, The Occasi,on, The Variants, Fuzzgun Sniper and Siouxsie Suicide.In 2007 I will no longer be promoting my own events, but will be looking to play loads of guest slots......I cover the following styles:ROCK METAL PUNK GOTH INDUSTRIAL INDIE ALTERNATIVE ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------- RESIDENT DJ and PROMOTER @:SPITFIRE (Scarborough: monthly rock / punk night 2006)NEW BREED (Scarborough: weekly / monthly rock night 2001 - 2006)DEATH WARMED UP (Whitby: monthly / twice monthly alternative night 2000 - 2005)FRANTIC / DEF CON ONE (Scarborough: monthly retro indie / alternative night 2003 - 2004)CORROSION (Scarborough: monthly alternative night, 1999 - 2001 + 2003) ------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------RESIDENT DJ @:TURN OFF YOUR TV (Bridlington: weekly indie night, 2005)RESERVOIR ROCKS (Scarborough: weekly rock night, 1999) ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------GUEST DJ SLOTS @:Darklands (Goth - York) Club XS Rock / Student Night (Scarboro)Lost Souls @ The Resolution (goth - Whitby)The York Dungeon (fetish - York)Immacul8 @ The Fenton (industrial - Leeds)Coliseum @ Le Bateau (fetish - Liverpool)Excentricity @ Club XS (Electronica - Scarborough)Beached Festival after party H2003 ScarboroDevils Kitchen (electro - Scarboro)Kazbah Live @ Kazbah (rock - Scarboro)Pukka @ Planet 2000 (hardhouse - Scarboro)Neurotrauma @ The Cask (alternative - Scarboro)Mercury Lounge (goth - Carlisle)Festival Of Youth Arts (Scarboro)Church Of Madness @ The Rising Sun (goth - Reading)Vamps & Tramps Festival @ The Metropole (goth - Whitby)Blast Chamber New Years Eve (alternative - Northampton)Dead & Buried @ The Racehorse (goth/indust - Northampton).."http://www.newbreedrocknight.co.uk"

I didnt write this, I nicked it off a bulletin, but it is spot on!ATTENTION:Before requesting songs, making comments, or asking questions,See Below1. PLAY SOMETHING GOOD...SOMETHING WE CAN DANCE TO!The D.J. has to play for more than one person...so, what you may hate may be another's favorite song and EVERYTHING played here can be danced to one way or another.2.WOULD YOU PLAY SOMETHING WITH A BEAT?BE SERIOUS! We know of NO songs played in a club that don't have some sort of a beat!3. I DON'T KNOW WHO SINGS IT AND I DON'T KNOW THE NAME OF THE SONG, BUT IT GOES LIKE THIS...Please don't sing for the D.J.! They have to put up with smoke-filled rooms and dangerous decibel levels all night. Do them a favor and DON'T give them a rendition of your favorite song!4. EVERYBODY WANTS TO HEAR IT!Oh sure, you polled EVERYONE in the club and, as their spokesperson, you are requesting the song.5. I CAN GET LAID IF YOU PLAY IT!If you need ME to play you a song so that YOU can get laid, you've got problems. Besides, point your girl out to the DJ and I will play it for her after you get wasted and pass out. ;)6. I WANT TO HEAR IT NEXT!The only people who can get away with that statement write the D.J.'s paycheck! Plus more often than not, the dj has the next song already cued up and ready to go, and does not have time to find your song, get it on the decks, and get it cued up in time to be next.7. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WANNA HEAR...WHAT DO YOU HAVE?It's a lot easier for you to go have another beer and figure out what you want to hear than it is for the D.J. to recite the name of EVERY record in the booth! Also don't ask for a songlist! I don't know of any club dj's that actually keep a printed liist with them! We keep it in our heads or sometimes in a database!8. HEY YO, NOBODY CAN DANCE TO THIS!It is not advisable to say this when the dance floor is packed (but, some people do anyway)! However, even if there is only ONE person on the floor, it STILL contradicts the statement. You're just being rude. Have an open mind about music.9. EVERYBODY WILL DANCE TO IT IF YOU PLAY IT!The D.J. won't...I guess that blows a hole in that theory! Plus half the time I hear this, no-one goes to the dancefloor except for the person that asked for it, and when they realize they're the only one that wanted to dance to it, they bail. If you ask the dj for a dance song and don't dance to it, expect the dj to ignore your requests the rest of the night. However, if we play your song and you dance and have a good time, even if no-one else does, we'll still take your next request seriously. We like to please, even if it's one person at a time.10. MOST IMPORTANTLY!!!! If your at a club or event that doesn't play any Hiphop, don't ask "you got any hiphop"? Just go outside to your car and turn on the radio or go home and watch MTV!!SOME EXTRA ASSORTED THINGS NOT TO SAYIf you ask for a song and the D.J. says he just played it, DON'T SAY, "Well, I just got here." It makes absolutely no difference. None at all. If you want to be sure you hear your favourite song at the club, you better be there when the dj starts his/her set. We don't have a flashing red light in the booth that tells us that you're there and we can play your song now.DON'T SAY, "Is this the only kind of music you play?" If you go to a Chinese restaurant, you wouldn't ask for Italian food. Rock clubs play rock, alternative clubs play alternative, discos play disco, etc., etc., etc...If you ask for a song, BE SPECIFIC. DON'T SAY, "I wanna hear something, anything but this!" Try going to the bar and saying, "I wanna drink something, anything but this..." You can't complain if you're not SPECIFIC. However, if you are specific and the DJ says he doesn't have the song, DON'T SAY, "What?!! What do you mean you don't have it? What kind of DJ are you? Why don't you get into the wonderful world of fast food! You obviously don't know what you're doing as a DJ!"...We may reply with "I don't come to your job and SMACK the DICK out of your mouth when you're working."THE DJ MAY SHOOT YOU!!! OR DROP KICK YOUR ASS MATRIX STYLE! Or just have you escorted out of the club. We can do that. Trust me. DO NOT BE AN ASS.Special NoteA nightclub D.J. gets very little respect. They are expected to play everything for everybody. It is impossible to satisfy all to the people all of the time, yet club jocks are expected to do just that. If a radio jock tells his listeners a song is a hit, the majority of the people think it must be "because they said so on the radio." However, 80% of the time that same song was being played in a club long before the radio "DISCOVERED" the "NEW" song. So give the D.J. a break! The next time you request a song, stop and think before you speak. Remember a request is just that... a request!! It's not a guarantee your song will get played!! Ask once for your song and the DJ will try and play it. Keep asking and you're being a pain in the ass! Don't send all your friends to request the same song hoping to get it played. DJ's aren't that stupid!! They get dozens of requests in a night and there isn't enough time to play them all.If you have a cd that you want the DJ to play, and the DJ agrees to listen to it, they're ALREADY DOING YOU A FAVOR BY TAKING THE TIME TO DO SO. If they don't play it don't be pissed, they made a judgement call that the music wasn't the right type to be played. If you wanna hear only songs that you wanna hear, STAY AT HOME AND LISTEN TO YOUR CD'S.If you DJ or MC (or just say that you do) DONT ask me if you can "dj/mc for a little bit" AT MY GIG especially if I don't know you! If you wanna spin/mc at a club, talk to the owners and give them a mix tape! No one will take you serious without one. Of course unless you already have paying gigs (in which case you wouldn't be trying to do it at my gig). They're paying us to play music and make announcements, not to host open mic night.My booth is not a "Coat Check" So don't come up in it asking me if I could watch your coat/purse. If that shit is to much for you to handle you should have left it in your damn car!!!Also don't come up in the DJ booth and just hover around!!!! A DJ needs space to work. You don't see me coming into your work and standing over your computer, or looking over your shoulder while you're trying to work. That would just be plain fucking rude!!And if I do decide to let you hang around in the both, NEVER EVER set your BEER/Drink down around my VERY EXPENSIVE equipment!!!!! If that spills I'm out hundreds of pounds!!!!! You don't see me and my girlfriend hanging out on the hood of your car. So PLEASE show me the same respect for something important to me.And above all and, Most Importantly, if the DJ has one hand on the mixer, one hand on a turntable and is wearing headphones, DON'T BUG US unless you know us!!!!!!!It's a hard job being a DJ. Our work most of the time goes very much unappreciated. Think about it, we are the only people in the club who don't get a chance to actually just sit and hang out with our buddies. If we stop to take a break, the whole club and the music stops with us. We spend sometimes 6 to 8 hours in a booth, STANDING the whole time. We are lucky if we get a chance to find a second to take a bathroom break. Cause when we screw up and the music stops everyone starts yelling and complaining. "No one ever remembers when we are doing a good job, but screw up even once, and everyone notices"If you read this and appreciate it... show your DJ some love. Post a comment, Check their pics out. Listen to their mix.
