"We've found that the average establishment can increase beverage revenue by +/- 35% when offering beverage promotions during power plays of "Hustler Muzik" by Lil Wayne and "Got That Drank" by Frayzer Boy. You'll be amazed at your increased sales volume when you implement this innovative promotional strategy.
Now if you'll turn to page 43 in your manuals, "Chapter 4: Using 'Trap Music' to Trap Beverage Sales."
This mananger was pretty open with why they started using this. Which can be summed up as the DJs were playing too much nigger music. Also, I get the impression that the manager is coming from some VA Fratboy MBA mentality where any service can be improved by first getting some overpaid consultant and then to competitively outsource formerly in house services. READ: defer the issue by wasting money.
He may be in for a shock when his consultant tells him they haven't been playing enough!
Hi, DJ! Whaaaaaat's happening? Mmmyeeaaah...I'm gonna need you to go ahead and play numbers 2, 3, and 5 from this list in that order, mmmmkay? Oh! And if you could go ahead and play snap music for the following half-hour, that would be grrreaaaaaaaat."
AKA Find someone to blame for poor sales
Haven't we been here before though?
be careful, this IS a proven temporary fix, but often leads to the same obnoxious person coming in the booth 20 times... i had a guy last friday begging me to play "i'm in love with a stripper"... i told him "ok" a few times, but he kept coming up and saying "play it next!", so i told him "i'm playing fast stuff right now, i promise i'll play it at the end"... that wasn't good enough, he came up every time i switched records for the next 20 minutes, so i told him "i thought i had that song, but i don't, i'm sorry"... he says, "i have it on a cd in my car, i'll go get it", so i told him to just go sit in his car and listen to it, then come back in, he just laughed and said "ok, i'll go get it"
so fucking awesome
CMS has put together a resource of the most popular songs from the 50's through today and cataloged these selections by music style and BPM. You'll find the BPM for the songs you need to improve your mixing and programming options.
The problem with some BPM Books in the past is they gave you the BPM for every song that came out in a particular era, many of which are no longer requested or are no longer important today. Other complaints we heard were the books were too bulky and the print was too small. CMS addresses all of these issues and more.
Our BPM Books contain only the major radio and club hits without the filler[/b]. The 8 1/2" x 11" format is very user friendly and the print is extremely easy to read. Each book is divided by beat per minute and alphabetically by artist. We've also made it easy to get the listings of songs in just the format you want.
These books are also an important tool to help build your music library if you are just getting started and can help fill in the holes to expand your presentation. Finally, feel free to inquire about our custom BPM Books to meet your specific needs.

JEEZUS! If you wanna control what goes on in a club so bad, become a fucking DJ yourself! Or go to a club with one o them Internet Jukeboxes with a grip of cash and drive everyone nuts with your taste in music! I also got a request for that Stripper song as well as several 'do you have any Reggaeton?' requests and my favorite 'do you have any DANCE music?' while I am playing the 12" edit of WAR's 'Galaxy' and a bunch of folks are dancing to it. 'Yes, sweetie, I came with some DANCE music. No Madonna.'
I really was a step away from telling that chick I was arguing with "Do I come down to YOUR job and tell you how to suck cock?"
JEAHHHH!!!!!!
then if she persists...
"you need to go away or I'll have the bouncer remove you."
you have every right to say that and it works. but I save it for the super annoying bitches.
this is not the technique i learned at the CMS seminar
nah, but seriously, i'd be really careful with that one... i'm not sure what kind of places y'all are djing at, but annoying (yet hot) girls are the life blood of most clubs that are trying to sell drinks... i'd probably save that one for the dudes
I can honestly say that I have never had a dude be rude to me...usually they are extremely polite and almost apologetic.
The ratio for rude girls is 1 in 2, in my experience.
And I have NO issue with requests, it's the idea that your request will be instantaneously honored is what I take umbrage with. And that by virtue of the fact that you payed NO COVER CHARGE to be here, I cannot be held soley responsible for you having a good time or not.
Dude, you would have been surprised at how rude I was in return, but she was just totally clueless to it. I told her to leave....straight up. You know what her response was? "We are this close to leaving, man." I again said, exasperated, 'Then GO!' and ignored her. The manager basically told me the same thing, that I shoulda told her to fuck off.
