WHO IS THE DJ BEHIND THE VIRAL VIDEO "LAST NIGHT A DJ TOLD ME TO FUCK OFF?" TORONTO'S ROBB G!
This DJ just happens to be Toronto's own Robb G at a "Make it Funky" party in 2007, the days when dubstep was the new kid on the block , Skrillex was still in a screamo band and breaks were still fresh, funky and alive.
The now infamous "LAST NIGHT A DJ TOLD ME TO FUCK OFF" video where a DJ spinning the wee hours of the morning in an underground nightclub in Toronto is captured telling an annoying attention starved fan exactly what every DJ has dreamed of doing in the past. The video featured on the front page of reddit went viral instantly with almost everyone in support of the DJ. Although at first it may seem like he is being a giant douchebag, afterall maybe this poor girl just wanted to hear her favourite jam, but all that doubt changes once Robb G drew us a picture of the events leading up and then the situation is painted all to clear
“This girl came up to me and harassed me 3 times while I was playing. She was upset that I wasn’t paying enough attention to her and her friend dancing on stage. Rubbing herself on me and yelling in my ear. The first time I was very polite. The second time I was firm and told her I’d be rude if there was a 3rd time. What you see in this video is the 3rd time and final time. I was in the tail-end of a layered 3 minute mix with both volumes at 10 and she came over, pulled on my headphone cord while yelling at me.”
