XMAS CARD ! DO IT !

DJs are approachable, but its just a question of knowing how to go about it.

DJs aren’t rock stars
You shouldn’t really take DJs too seriously. They are, after all, only playing other people’s records. In fact, when raves began, part of the attraction lay in their lack of a star system. Rock music was always about you, standing in the the crowd, worshipping him (or occasionally her), the lead singer. In rock music, the punters are the little people. In clubs, so the theory went, you lot, the people on the dancefloor, are the stars. The girl with crazy braids, or the fella dancing on top of the speaker stacks is far more entertaining a prospect than some longhairs with guitars. Clubs weren’t about watching some guy beatmix records together, it was about dancing. DJs helped that along, but they were hardly worth staring at for hours on end.

DJs need you
The DJs job is to please a crowd. While a snotty punk band can get away with telling their audience to fuck off, or an obscure indie band can bore their concert-goers into submission, nothing looks worse for a working DJ than an empty dancefloor. They will want to know what records you want to hear, whether you’ve liked their set, and what you want to hear in the future.

Now Hear This
You should, however, remember that DJs are still among the coolest people in the club. They’re also working (if you count spinning a few tunes, while working your way through your whisky allocation ‘work’). So they probably won’t want to be distracted. So, here are a few straightforward tips on what you should and shouldn’t bother a DJ about.

Do: Ask what the last record he played was. He’ll probably be pretty flattered.

Don’t: Keep asking him to repeat the title of said record, even if it's very loud and you can’t hear what he’s said. If he’s kind enough to hold up the label for you to see, so much the better. Otherwise, pretend you’ve heard. Repeated requests are only going to piss him off.

Do: Ask them for a request, if you are genuinely asking for the kind of record that would fit in with their set. They’ll probably be quite you know his style so well.

Don’t: Ask for a request if you just want to hear your favourite record down the disco that night. Club’s don’t hire guest DJs to take requests.

Do: Try to find out where he’s playing next, if you’re genuinely thinking of going.

Don’t: Try to wangle some guestlist places from him; he's probably only too used to blaggers and might not even know about the event you’re talking about. DJs are notoriously flaky, and promoters often draw up line-ups before all names are confirmed.

Do: Tell him you’ve enjoyed yourself and say thanks.

Don’t: Try to be his best mate. There are plenty of overly friendly people in nightclubs without embarrassing yourself too.

Calambre se define como núcleo de sonido y comunicación. Un colectivo de dejotas 'disc-jockeys' que son referencia de sonido electrónico y hiphop. En Cuatrosfera tenemos a Calambre DJ 00, el 'prototipo de calambre visible' en la televisión. Mientras, el resto del colectivo Calambre DJ mantiene su anonimato surrealista.

¿Quién está detrás de cada nombre? ¿Son seres o núcleos de naturaleza feérica? No, son formas complejas de actividad, manifestaciones de vida anímica, altavoces anímicos rellenos de percepción, experimentos panasónicos antigravedad...
