Ok, Matt Darey was playing at a shitty club here. I honestly say that there was 15 to 20 people tops at every given time through out the night. Another 30 people would pay and walk in, maybe have a drink and leave with in 20 to 30 minutes. He wasn't even in a Dj Booth, he was on the floor next to this small dance floor that was empty. This of course was not his fault, where I live there isn't a big scene for this music unless it's Tiesto or Oakenfold. Armin can't even fill our biggest club for big venues.
It was getting later and there was like 8 people left. Everyone wanted to buy Acid from me but I took the whole 5 hits before I even left the house. So since everyone was gone and he looked bored and dumbfounded, I walked up to him to shake his hand and shoot the shit. He immediately started turning knobs on his mixer and playing with his head phones even though he was not cuing another song up.
It was obvious he did not want to be bothered as I realized nobody had approached him all night. Well, I was on all that Cid and didn't think much of it. I waited for him to finish doing what he was doing. leaned over and asked if he could play Eric Prydz - Pjanoo as I think it was still a Promo at that point (could be wrong) but I really liked the song then and he said something smart ass to me. I could tell by his tone of voice and look. But I asked if he already played it because I could understand that or if he didn't have a copy I could understand that as well. So my head is racing to why his tone was so rude, but I didn't hear what he said. Clearly he just didn't want to be bothered and being on 5 hits in a small club half way through his set with only 8 to 10 people left I didn't understand why.
So I asked if he was Ok and having a good time and told him my city always sucks for this kind of music. He said something again and he mumbled it but it was directed at me as I could tell by the tone again.
If I wasn't on 5 hits, I would have excused myself but instead I said you know what, I can't hear what your saying because your mumbling but go fuck yourself and gave him the bird and walked away.
In the end, I know I over reacted but he was trying to put on his big profile Dj look, movements and all the works except the Jesus Pose for a crowd that went from 20 people to 10 at the time.
