Just here having a cold Heineken, doing some work, and listening to VDJ Radio when I had the following idea: Wouldn't it be great to allow listeners to send instant messages to the DJ. Maybe to put in a request, let him know his mix is tight, or even to ask him "what happend on that last mix buddy??".
...Just food for thought.

You have to be kidding me. Asking another DJ for a request, is something I personally would never do. I think it shows a total lack of respect. My response are very quick and to the point, and vary from time to time. "Do I have a sign up asking for help"? "Why don't you bring an Ipod, if you want to hear it that bad"? These are just the nice ones. As I said, I would never disrespect you by asking for a request, and won't allow anyone to disrespect me. The last thing I want to do is talk to someone, when i'm in a mix. But I understand that everyone is not like me.

you kidding me. so some total fitty glides up to the booth, leans over and asks for a song you know shes gonna do some damage too and you tell her.....'why dont you bring an ipod'
people want to hear what they want to hear. obv if someone asks for a ballad in the middle of a hiphop set obv you tell them no, but not 'f**k off and die' but 'mabey later' or 'sorry i dont have that one with me'
with VDJ i find i ether spend most of my set nodding my head, making like im doing something on the desk or decks or talking to people. gone are the days of taking 30 sec minimum to setup a track. if you cant concentrate with people comin an talking to you, you could put up a sign but how stupid is that gonna look.

The most important thing about being a DJ is being good with people, you need to be able to connect and get on with people, requests is apart of this, and personally it is my greatest pleasure to please someones request..
If you feel the person is saying it like "you MUST play this" in an arrogant way then sure play it, but show off your mixing skills to win the respect back, that's the way I do it.
There are many simular 'secrets' to being a successful DJ but most are common sense.
All of the very successful DJ's I've met are firstly GREAT people, and that is most of what they are imo, that's the only way to get on, to be a warm person.
Being rude to one soon becomes many, take my word.
Lastly from a customers point of view, the best nights I've had out have always been the nights when I get on with the DJ, I may make a request, whether it's played for me isn't life or death, but the hand shake and interpersonal skill of the DJ sticks.
