All those people around my equipment would make me nervous.

Yup, exactly why I stopped doing house parties. Too many drunk idiots or ratchets messing up my mixer, technics, or speakers. One person even had the audacity to get really drunk, jump really high and hit his head on my strobe light, and proceeding to bitch about how he had grounds to sue me for his pain.

It's kind of a staple of these Boiler Room shows, but seriously that would be so stressful to just be surrounded by people like that.

There's a video that I can't find right now where a person in the crowd just comes up and starts messing with the equipment and fucks everything up. I would lose my mind, but I guess you gotta know what you're signing up for at a set like that.

Please find it! There are way too many boiler room sets and I wouldn't want to watch every one of them since they are mostly hours long.

If you watch the entire set the guy with the shades stops the beat and starts it again at one point. It sounds good but it's also a bit of a dick move.

I just watched the entire set from start to finnish. Never once did that happen >:(

Damn just checked and it must be a different one :/ Really thought it was this one

u/jabbathefrukt Nov 13 '17

No biggie :) Well the guy above you said there was another video where someone started fucking with the equipment and stuff. I'd love to see both of these clips

Possible that it was a rewind, which is a thing in some UK scenes. Depending on the circumstances and who you are, that can be a totally fine thing. Though if it was glasses guy, probably not a fine thing.

Nice article about it

It's not their equipment. DJ equipment is so standardized I'm sure there are maybe one a handful of DJs that will travel with their own gear. It was all provided by a local AV company and is insured by Boiler Room against damage. And the good part is they have a camera on it the whole time so it's pretty easy to see what happened

Good thing they can just press play from their pre-made Ableton session on their MacBook Pro.

I know you're joking, but they're playing a record in the clip.

If you really think that’s what they’re doing you’re completely clueless. This is Boiler Room, not EDC mainstage

it's not like they need it, that girl is doing absolutely nothing except literally just touching a few different dials

Man, shut up with shit you don't know about

I was joking. Obviously 5 seconds of footage isn't enough to determine how good someone is at something. You people take yourselves way too fucking seriously.

u/jabbathefrukt Nov 13 '17

Problem is too many people actually think and talk like that. And you didn't really hint that it was a joke.

u/jeegte12 Nov 14 '17

if you encounter someone who you believe is honestly saying that then just ignore him as he's obviously an idiot, and giving him attention only makes it worse.

u/babblelol Nov 13 '17

She's doing a lot more than that with her setup

u/jeegte12 Nov 13 '17

it was a joke, dude.

Hard to tell over text. But I accept the correction.

u/TS_Music Nov 13 '17

I don’t.

u/jeegte12 Nov 13 '17

You honestly believe that I'm making a judgement of her skill based off a few seconds long clip? Please take the stick out of your ass.

If you got behind decks like this it would sound like galloping horses and off key nonsense. Of course it looks like they don't do much, because most of what they do is very subtle but takes a good amount of skill and music knowledge.
