After Derrick May told Scene360 last week that, "Those few seconds where things don't work are a millisecond to the audience; to you it's like an eternity," Skruff asks DJs Fergie and Marc Vedo to share their own major mishaps behind the decks.

Interesting read, always fun to hear some stories like this. Would have been even better if they did the interview with a few other blokes.

DJ Fergie "I remember a big tranny (drag queen) came over, took the needle off the record, popped out some gum she was chewing and stuck it on the top of the needle cartridge. Everything went very well after that."

love that line! i can just picture the whole event, if anyone writes a dj biopic they should work this scene into the script.

Trouble-shooting is all part of the experience.

Best to always have plans B & C ready.

Interesting read though.

thanks posting. good read. As a laptop DJ & live performer, I do worry about having time to set up. It there's not extra space, I've had to set up on a platform off to the side, then to a switcheroo when the current performer finishes.
