Heart-Melting Moment Warm Up DJ Realises Nobody Cares About His Set
It has been reported that twenty eight year old Danny Smith from London, England, has decided to retire from his career as a DJ after seeing a video of himself on Facebook with not one person interested in his DJ set; describing the ordeal as “typical of this bullshit scene”.
Despite his Tinder profile saying such things as “passionate about house music” and “determined to succeed”, it has been confirmed Danny has given up on his burning ambition to become a full time DJ; one which he has had since hearing White Noise by Disclosure in 2013.
“After nu-rave died out in 2008 I got into the indie scene, but I couldn’t get on board with how tight my jeans had to be and how infrequently I was allowed to wash my hair” said Danny. “For a few years I was a bit lost as a person, until deep house came along in 2013. I couldn’t believe my ears – such a new and dirty sound. I literally had an eargasm every time Radio One played Need U 100% by Duke Dumont. It was at that moment I realised I wanted to be a DJ.”
Despite Danny’s three year long love-affair with deep house and ketamine, he is adamant he is giving up the game, explaining to Wunderground that the scene isn’t what it used to be “After my mum got me some CDJ’s I blagged a residency in my local nightclub” Danny told us. “When I first started out, I simply played for the love of the music. Nowadays, being as I think I have served my time in this industry, I know I am worthy of headlining festivals and playing in LA and Berlin. For some reason promoters haven’t called me and I cannot work out why – so I am done.”
Wunderground managed to catch up with twenty one year old Amber Jameson, the girl responsible for positing the video “That DJ Danny is a crack up” Amber told us. “I’ve got him on Facebook and he is relentless in asking people to come and see him play; inviting us to shit event after shit event. He hasn’t discovered any news songs in three years and plays the same old shit week after week; usually clearing the dancefloor. Yet for some reason he walks around like he is Richie Hawtin or something. I remember when that prick started a nu-rave band called the Whack-sons, which was a complete rip off of the Klaxons. Apparently they played six gigs and he gave up because he hadn’t been offered a three album record deal with Sony.”
