in johannesburg, south africa a couple of years back there was a legendary club called 206...the pioneers of acid jazz, dnb, hip hop, jungle, big beat, funk etc etc in town...and their djs were MAD. one night, it was quite late and two guys came in with guns to try and rob the place, so they go up to the decks, point the guns and ask for the cash...so the dj says, "sorry, we don't take requests" |

Kasol (India) 2001 full moon party during the monsoon... the DJ took too much acid and fell from the DJ clearing, rolling down to the dance floor area (which is a kind of a steep hill i must say) and saying bye bye to his set at that point in time.
excellent party... up above the old bridge to new Kasol if you know the area. amazing location but then it's parvati valley after all  |

The details of this story are not right because I was not there, and it was a while ago. Just take the story generally:
My old roomate (Sharpe), who has a bit of an anger problem, was going to play out at a retro goa trance night in a NYC club. When he got there and was setting up there was this woman who was putting UV paint on the walls, and she insisted on painting the walls in the booth, which was very tight. He complied.
She came back several minutes after he started playing and wanted to put more decorations in the DJ booth, but the DJ refused to let her in. She tried to force her way in, but he prevailed and he locked the door.
She came back yet again, and this time started putting paint on the wall through the window of the DJ booth, leaning over the equipment. I imagine at this point the DJ expressed some anger and pushed her out. She informed him that this was her party and she would do whatever the fuck she wanted. She tried to reach through the window again but the DJ blocked her. I guess she decided that she must win, so she started throwing the paint through the window, most of it landing on the DJ and his records. She had to be subdued. The DJ packed up and left, only 1-2 tracks into his set.
The funny part is that she apparently never calmed down that night. Towards the end of the night she assaulted some woman and beat her bloody. The police came and arrested her. |

i was playing once in a quite big party here and while i was mixing, a "friend" who was hanging around near the dj booth was quite passed out on drugs/alcohol and whatever he had taken started having a seizure , like he had epilepsia, the only problem was that he decided to fall right behind the mixers and cdjs.
so he fell right on top all the fucking cables and gear unplugging everything and making a complete mess, not to mention the fact that i got completey freaked out in seeing a guy trembling with no control at all between the end the of the stage and the table where all the mixer and cdjs where
fucking junkie

Funny topic
I was playing at a party here in Norway in November last year, when a guy came up to me and asked me to put on some R & B!!
I said: "Sorry, no"
and he said: "Why not? I payed to get into this party!"
I said: "You have obviously come to the wrong party, but why not try to enjoy some of this music?" I just started laughing...
He disappeared after that....
There was also a girl asking me to put on some norwegian country music at a party once..!
Another story:
I had another party (indoor) with a chill out area and a psytrance area last fall. When the party was finally over and we turned off the music, (after 8 hours) nonstop, one of the guys sitting in one of the sofas (he had been sitting there for 8 hours...) at the chill out stage shouted:
"When are you going to put on some psytrance?"
He had obviously never found his way into the psytrance area... Some people are really lost
One of the dj's shouted back: "You smoke too much man!"
Keep the stories coming!

OK, an artist came to Israel, and a while before he went to play, he wanted to take a little drop of liquid, just to keep himself awake and funky while playing. The guy who wanted to put a drop on his hand took out his vial, very gently, put it over his hand, and then broke the vial... pouring a tremendous amount of acid all over the hand. The picture that came directly after this:
In the corner of a party, two guys are standing in shock, one licking the hand of the other.
Despite this condition (with this specific nutter, maybe even because of it), he gave an amazing live act and DJ set, and every time I looked at him I could totally see that he was higher than most kites, but having a great time.

there's a house club here with a dark dingy dancefloor where some girl went up to the dj box and asked the dj to play some tune or other. he said he didn't know it. she said i'll sing it for you and did. he said he couldn't hear her - the music was too loud. she sang it louder so he felt obliged to cut the volume so the floor could hear...heh heh classic! |

Not something that happened at a party, but it was on the way to one so I guess it counts...
There are three members of OOOD: me, Steve and Nigel. In 1996 (I think) we were booked to play a live set at a New Year's party in New York for Acid Physix; I couldn't go because I was in South Africa at the time. Anyway, Steve and Nigel are at Heathrow Airport about to catch the flight when Nigel shows Steve a little Ecstasy pill and says, "I hate flying so I'm going to take this on the plane". If you know Nigel you'll know that he likes his drink and drugs - but he also gets a little evil and crazy when he's fucked, so of course, Steve takes the pill off him and throws it away, after all, you don't want to risk being caught by customs with drugs on you.
On the plane, Steve and Nigel are in different compartments, and after about 2 1/2 hours the stewardess comes into Steves compartment asking all the passengers if there is anyone called Steve on the plane who knows someone called Nigel. Steve calls her over and the stewardess says, "Can you help us please? He's doing this [making strange hand movements] and scaring the other passengers. Is he smuggling drugs, because he says he is".
So Steve goes through to the other compartment and sees Nigel, whose seat is right up against the bulkhead facing the projector screen... his row of seats and the row behind him have been cleared of passengers and Nigel is standing facing the entire cabin full of people, twisting his face into the most strange and disturbing shapes and moving his hands in front of his face in very wierd ways. As soon as he sees Steve, Nigel shouts out, "I'm smuggling plutonium and cocaine! STEVE! [points at Steve] YOU know the score!"
Needless to say, as soon as the plane lands, Nigel is the first person off, escorted by a group of very large security guards. Steve and the New York promoter are left to wait for two hours outside the airport for Nigel to be released, wheeled out in a wheelchair by a security guard waving his arms and legs in the air.
Turns out Nigel had had a whole bottle of Vodka as soon as the duty free drinks went on sale.
The party was great, by all accounts.

Happened to me last weekend!
So there i am, like a guy who took not enough ghb walking around trying to make his way tru the night with a DJ who's suppose to mix Drum N Bass but is actually mixing David Bowie and Peter Gabriel and AC/DC and Prince and other stuff thats shouldn't be played a 4h30 AM(peak hours here) so i get attacked by the promotor asking me if i got my CDs and if i can replace the guy. So i run to get my CDs in the car get back and saved the party... that was really a strange night...
The DJ was Tricky Pat from USA, he didn't change his style even if the promotor asked him like 3 times to change (there was like only 10-15 ppl dancing) So be warned about him, yes he scratch like a god, but damn... you don't want to hear "We are the champion" in a gig... He doesnt care about the crowd.
So i started the 30 min/6 track mix with "Deedrah - Body & Soul"(thanks wizard, you saved the party here!) and 200 people just came out of nowhere and started dancing like crazy! That was really cool, since it kinda boost my popularity ratio from "spanounwhat?" to "Man, he's jesus!"
