Luther Vandross

When I was younger music played a great deal in our family. My mum loved Luther even so that Sundays was Luther day as the sound of Never too Much playing loud while my mum was cleaning. So now I can appreciate his music I have got all his albums and don't mind playing it now as was part of my growing up.

The Shuffle

I could never ever do that dance, I was just little scared to make a fool of myself.

But when the first beat of Cameo Candy drops everybody who knows the dance stops everything and lines up to that dance. Some people do it perfectly, some people make mistakes and some people just get in way.

Anyway as I have so much time my hands I became one of those people who studies music video. Oh you know those people who can do that bloody dance from single ladies from every movement cause they have no job like me.

I decided I should start learning this dance and did and occasionally randomly bust a move in my bedroom. As the ground started to shake I think my flatmate must think there's a earthquake.

But then last night Mary J Blige Just Fine started playing, dj informed us "The Shuffle". Me and my little gang and few people started the dance, yes me doing the dance. While concetrating on my steps something was not right. I looked up. First off the club and people stopped and formed a large circle round us. I was like haven't you ever seen black people bust a move. The looks where like "what are you people doing." I really thought I was in a circus but it was cool.

Then you get people trying to do the dance. People NO your in the way so often I had to push them out the way according to my friend. I always get random people saying "teach me teach me"

Now that I know the dance its quite simple really two steps right/left then two steps left/right, two steps back then bend down and come up then hop 90 degress anti clockwise and repeat. If you get lost do what I do watch the other people doing the dance around you.

I was always bit nervous of doing that dance at the start, but now I can't wait for the next time to bust a move.

8 Simple Rules Of Not Pissing Of The DJ

The amount of gigs I have done I have seen it all, chairs and tables been smashed, causing a riot, dutty wine contest and more importantly people enjoying themselves. But the key for good music is making sure your DJ is happy. Here's my list of rules to make sure your DJ remains happy.
1. Do not shout abuse at the DJ espically insulting his/her mum otherwise he/she will need to get ghetto on your arse......
2. Do not grab the headphones from the DJ and shout your request, wait patently or best go away.....
3. Do Not Touch the Equipment Nuff Said!!!!!! That includes the mircophone only authorise people are allowed to use it.
4. Writing Sarcastic comments on the request board like "Can you read!" or " I'm bored!!!" are not welcomed
5. Shouting at around 100db directly in the DJ ear causing him to go deaf....
6. Request a song which was just played a minute ago
7. At the end of the night thanking the DJ and telling him he's god is great, but mire thank you would do.
8. Last and the most importantly DANCE ALL NITE AND ENJOY YOURSELF!!!!!
Peace Out

A Funny Gig

I wrote this when I started lol

I have done a few gigs in my life but this past one was. Well one word MAD!!!!!!
The night started with the girls of Destiny's Child but with no Style and Smile as they give us the most evil look as we setted up.
Things didn't get better as I played for Ben and reminisce about how cool Betty Boo was in her day. We waited for our guest and I started mixing house as I was bored.
Then a sudden noise was heard the doors opened and whole loads posh people ran towards the bar not even noticing the pretty lights or my outstanding outfit.
The night start slow as I played few hits even someone sang their version of Sugababes push the button. But the Button was replaced with a very nasty word which I won't mention but you can guess.
So I decided for a laugh to put on I predict a riot, not usually a song i would use but I thought why not.
Something happen the people all transform, all looked over to Ben and worried expression came on my face. Next thing I heard Boom Boom Boom. I looked over and everyone was dancing no sorry dancing they wasn't. Mosh Pit was the word. Me and Ben where so scared we decided to hide under the table until the song had finish just in case this people where posessed.
I emrge back next to the decks there's was a crowd demanding Rock music now. Then a sudden bang was heard I looked over lying on the floor my lighting equipment and next to it was a girl who obviously cause the fall. I rushed very concerned and picked up the my precious light stand and made sure it was okay. Then someone helped the girl to another drink.
The rest of night was a mixture of requests, bitching smiling and dancing and that was just me. Don't ask the rest of the guest cause they where pissed.
Actually good night looking forward to my next gig.....

More Random Blogs

Here's more random blogs from yours truely...

While I was at the hairdresses I saw this and thought I would share it with you guys and gals....
Friendship is a priceless gift that cannot be bought or sold but its value is far greater than a mountain of gold.
For gold is cold and lifeless it can neither see nor hear and in time of trouble it is powerless to cheer. It has no ears to listen no heart to understand.
It cannot bring you comfort or reach out a helping hand so when you ask god for a gift be thankful if he sends not diamond, pearls or riches but the love of real true friends
Well I am back from my one day trip of the town they call Manchester. Was it good did DJ Lil Li pull where there any surprises? Um well I'll tell you that later.
Our last trip to Manchester was a sight and half due to fact that the booze was dead cheap. Crazy Gang earned our name that night as we started a new disco in Manchester well actually in the coach station as we sang our version of I'm every woman loudly to the poor on going public.
I believe we spoke to everyone in the city of Manchester as we stopped every person on the street and started chatting and chatting. Then hungry strikes again we staggered into a chip shop and demanded curry and chips. We got chips but curry no its looked like someone well you can use your imagination.
So Manchester had to be warned that the Crazy Gang where coming back for more.
Well to be trutfhful it was good a nice evening nothing crazy happened but 2 members of the gang where missing. Did I pull nope but there was talent.

DJ Li and Amsterdam

Just going through my old computer and found some old blogs I had made while I was on myspace.

So 17th June arrived, was I ready HELL NO!!!
With only 2 hours left until my train departed I was in a state, it was end of the world, I couldn't find anything to match my light blue nike pants.
Oh my bad more importantly the hotel had screwed up our reservations meaning Amsterdam was going to have 5 more strangers prowling the streets not knowing if they where coming or going. I supposed it could of been worse I could of been locked in that nut house called Big Brother.
So with only 1 hour to go things became more

Little Li Goes to Amsterdam Part 2 Pants Officer
I was 10 seconds and counting to having an huge BITCH FIT. Someone was looking out for me as the hotel phoned back and they managed to find somewhere for us to stay.
THANK THE LORD I cried as I heard Shut Up from below as my housemate was woken up by me doing my beyonce dance.
The trip to Luton Airport could of been a simple one expect for the fact that my lovely purchased nike blue pants decided they wanted to reveal my enourmous Lopez arse to the whole of east Croydon Train Station. Apologise to the passengers and staff that had to witness that.
So turning up at Luton Airport with gleamer of hope that trip would not result in disaster as I saw my friends waiting for me. We checked in and went through to passport control.
The offcier held the passport close to his face then look down at me, looked at the passport, looked at me, looked at the passport looked at me, looked at the passport looked at me after 20th time I was getting worried that this boi isn't going to see Amsterdam. But he let me through but then I saw MI5 station in the corner typing away.
Here we go again I said to myself as the officer lead me over to the spies sorry my bad I mean police officer.
He snacthes the wet passport and looks at it and enters something in the keyboard. Then looks at me.
"Where are you going to Sir?"
"Hell!" , "Amsterdam!"
"Why you going there."
"Because I got high, because I got high."
"Are you going by yourselves?"
"No I am going with my imaginery friend called Ryan."
"Do you have any attention of going to Germany?"
"Germany where the hell is Germany I am going to Amsterdam fool."
"No."
"Have a nice trip sir."
"Fu&k Off!"
Cursing and cussing I was after being interview by the police for 20 minutes, after my mates just got asked ONE yes ONE question. Vex I was. But I let it go as after all he's just doing his job. Anyway I had something else to worry about it was Airbus319......
TO BE CONTINUED

So we had arrived in lovely Amsterdam, on hold I suppose you people want to hear my terrifying plane ride. Well actually it was okay actually no tears, shouting and no crying expect for the fact I had to hold my mates friend hand all the way cause he was a but scared or maybe I was just getting in there. So like Mary J Blige there was no more drama. I WISH!
We arrived in Amsterdam around about 6pm the plane was late thanks Easy Jet. So we spirited like it was the Olympics towards the train station as time was definably against us and some people had a major craving for something green.
As we waited for the train I looked up to see a strange lady dressed in very unusual clothes with a shower cap over her head and goggles over her eyes. Is this how they dress over here I ponder to myself then she started talking to my friends. Me and my other friend decided we would start talking about crap actually to avoid the nice lady. But we over heard the conservation between my mates.
What we understood is she lost her way I needed directions to the sea. Sorry my Bad. Its her hen night and she needs money or something so for 1 euro we could buy a small bottle drinks. I saw her reach into this small bag to reveal two bottles one red and one clear. Money was taken she was happy we where happy that the train arrived so we could escape.
So we entered this unusual double Decker train, I looked at the bottle that the lady gave to my friends.
No way man, I want to remember tonight thank you.
So my two mates drank the contains in one gulp.
See you guys tomorrow, I said Doubt Ill be seeing you.
Errhh! screech my mates Taste like Medicine.
Bet it was medcine.
I looked over to my left I was sitting next to a fitness.
Wow! I gasps slowly Do all you man in this country look like this HES FINGER LICKING GOOD.
To put it plainly nothing happened I eyed him up and thats it. If I knew what I knew about that night I would of jump on top of him and dragged him back to the hotel room.
The clan arrived at Amsterdam Central at 6.30 was Amsterdam ready and more importantly was I ready????

So we where sitting their then this strange lady sprung onto the TV and started singing well if you call it singing oh sorry my bad rapping talking about purple haze and garlang. Confused or Drunk I thought to myself as I didn't undertsand what this woman was saying or doing by that matter.
We headed out, alarm siren where at the ready as someone suggest we visited a Coffee Bar. So we entered Betty Boos don't ask! Sat Down then rubbed my eyes as I thought I was in present of a star. Yes Skin from Skunk Anansie was infront of me. I was like WOW!!
I looked over me friend had a large smile on his face as he was smoking you know what. Yes it was like Missy Elliot Pass The Dutch video well actually I have had bad experience with that stuff so I decide not to as I didn't fancy swimming in the canals if Amsterdam.
After 30 mins in the bar a big rumble was coming from our bellies, Yes Hungry Strikes shouts a voice then cartoon character comes out and plays drums on my belly. I was tripping, but I didn't take any then started to cough as the bar started to fill with smoke.
After Dinner we headed to Amsterdam version of canal street people so many people where theY fit NO, where they gorg NO, where they old HELL YES!!!
Anyway we entered the bar as everyone stared at our entourgae, at dashed straight towards the bar. I stood there for a while then something started to move.

Nothing special just me on top of the Empire State Building. I just love New York already planning my next trip after San Fransico

Do I Look like a jukebox????

ARRRRRRRGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Its gonna happen sometimes, yes people will ask for request which as dj is always expected. But it gets a bit a tad tedious when you have a line of people shouting request at you. My job is to play the music which the majority of people will enjoy, I know I have good why of adapting my style to adapt to the crowd. But some people don't appreciate what a dj can do and demand no think its the their right to hear a certain song which NO ONE has ever heard of expect them.

Some my friends are club dj's and hang around the booth and just watch how some people are just so dam rude. Thrusting a mobile phone at the dj's face. That gets on my nerves. I have seen in one instance a person actually entering the booth and take the dj headphone and shout request at them. Its annoying. Or its advertise that the club will be playing rnb and funky house you get some fool asking for abba COME ON PEOPLE!!!!! 80s are where their suppose to be in the past.

Also what annoys the heck of me is people are not willing to accept new tunes. Yes Beyonce and Lady Gaga maybe good but come on people there's so much other tunes. Ever heard of Chrisette Michele or Keri Hilson. I remember when I receive Beyonce Single Ladies back in October and gave it to one of my club dj's. They played it and everyone just stood their and scratch their heads. Now in May/June people go mad for it and actually do that dance, yes all the dance moves just shows how people are out of work and have much time on their hands.

In this rant I am just trying to say show your dj a little more respect we work dam hard to make sure that the music it right. Let him/her take it to a level or just dance enjoy the music please and don't annoy us. We are after all human beings not JUKEBOX.

My Top 10 Gigs

I have been dj-ing for about 4 years now and I have done around about over 500 gigs, yes 500. There been some gigs where I have wanted to pull my hair out and some where I never wanted to stop. But some gigs have just made my passion for djing greater. Here I present the Top 10 gigs.

10. Uni Party in Luton - i love playing to crowd who appreciates doing something different with a set. Amazing party with amazing people who never stop dancing until the music stop.

9. Model Show - Although it was a short set, the models where stunning lol

8. House Party In East London - I love doing intimate gigs although the house was small the people where in a mood for a big party. The music was so good that they wanted be to stay longer but as I had another set somewhere had to leave them.

7. Large Party in Croydon - I played one of most best gigs and started to kick myself when I didn't record this set. Although the party ended on a low. Not on my part may I add. It was great.

6. Hilton Metropol - After taking over resident in the bar inside the hotel, I was allow to go somewhere a bit different with my set which resulted in people loving my music and a big smile plastered on my face.

5. Rave in Eltham - I loved it when I had the crowd in the palm of my hands, after a string of crap gigs this is what I needed to alight a passion inside of me. Booming system and lovely people made it a night to remember.

4 First set in a club (Brighton) - its amazing feeling looking down watching people enjoying themseleves, dancing smiling etc and knowing your the cause of it. Will never forget that feeling.

3. Jamies Bar (friends Party) - Although I was completey drunk, no I was so drunk but managed to pull it off. Such a great night which I will never forget.

2. Boat Party - Love it, can't wait to do it again. The high point was getting people to wave at other boats on the Thames.

1. OHM Bar - This was the night that change my career, after that night I knew it was the right decision to become a dj.
