We may have Bluetooth now, but the aux cord is still a legend on these streets. Siblings and friends still argue on who gets to hold the long cable when it’s time to play some tunes during hangouts or road trips.
But before you wear your Gen Z hat and shout “wireless only” or “who still uses the aux cord?” Apparently, many people still do.
Anyway, whichever side of the divide you are between aux or bluetooth, note that these “don’ts” apply to everyone.
Phone isn’t on silent
Have you ever seen Dope Caesar or DJ Spinall picking their phones to answer calls while playing on set? That’s because it’s silent and they don’t want to be distured. If you aren’t built like that, free the aux.
Moving entitled
In this case, entitlement is behaving as though being in charge of the musicsis your God-given right. That thought itself is a violation, in fact.
Do better and realise that it’s a privilege. Act like it’s an honour to hold the aux.
Can’t read the room
You can bring your jams, but look around and, know the people around you, check the vibe of the room and understand what they want before you cue up a playlist. Do these things and you’ll give everyone a great time.
Watching IG stories and Snaps
Until you’re done playing your part, i.e., entertaining others with grooves, no apps should be open on your phone. We can’t be vibing to songs and suddenly a DJ Chicken skit rudely interrupts the moment. All TikTok and X videos should be put on hold, please. T for thanks.
Clueless what to play next
If you wait for a song to end before you start thinking about or looking for the next one, then your job role isn’t clear to you.
Get with the programme or let the next man play music, abeg.
Playing the same artist back-to-back
If you play an artist once or twice, it’s cool. But please give us someone else. We aren’t at a solo concert, are we?
Don’t let songs breathe
When you play another song before the previous ends, what are you really trying to achieve? If you won’t give a song any chance, then..
If you can’t handle aux cords, at least meat shouldn’t be an issue. Come to our Burning Ram Meat Festival. November 11th is the date. Get your ticket now!
