In a column for ClashMusic.com Feed Me shared a series of ridiculous and hilarious DJ disasters. Yes, we know that our favorite DJ’s get to live surreal rock star lives, but not everything is always perfect. However it seems that most of the issues transpire due to the DJ’s actions – or at least in Feed Me’s case this is true.
Jon Gooch, Feed Me, opens his essay on DJ disasters with a passage that basically states that his stories are a step above the rest. He goes on to describe situations involving fire extinguisher, broken bones, golf carts, champagne bottles, and more.
“When I was asked to write this I was apprehensive at the potential for being comprehensively outclassed by hedonistic tales of high flying DJ rockstar behaviour, but upon researching previous contributions to this column which surmounted to ‘I lost my music but then I found it’ and ‘I almost missed a gig but then I didn’t’ I don’t really feel concerned any more.
At a festival a couple of years ago after being cleared from the stage for spitting drink at some people and riding on someone’s back I became creative and found a reasonably large fire extinguisher in the hanger housing it. Using a hole in the stage floor my friend crept underneath, whilst I walked unarmed past the guard and into the centre, whereby he passed the extinguisher up to me. I directed the funnel at Datsik who was playing at the time, and emptied the extinguisher all over him, then spun around until it ran out.
What I assumed to be a CO2 extinguisher was in fact a chemical powder extinguisher which made everyone in the vicinity choke and fall down blind. Datisk vomited. I fell down unable to breathe. Through the impenetrable white fog I heard security screaming to get me, so I barrel rolled off the stage and hid under a generator outside. I saw people coming out coughing. The music stopped for a bit but it was OK in the end. I remember some quite short organiser trying to fight me but then calming down in return for a show as Spor. I paid for the damaged equipment as far as I know…” – Feed Me
