Sam Feldt Calls Out Opening DJ
An effective opening DJ is supposed to get the crowd started, but not worn out. And while they can, it is common courtesy to keep from playing the hits of the headliners they’re preceding. One particular DJ who opened up for Sam Feldt decided to ignore these “unwritten rules” and chose to get the party going as soon as possible.
Sam Feldt recently headlined Foynhagen’s Tropical Tuesday event with Burak Yeter as his opener. Instead of playing tropical house, he decided to play Scooter as well as some of Feldt’s hit songs. Obviously, that’s not ok as it takes away from the headliner’s set. Immediately after his set, Yeter took to Twitter accusing Feldt and his manager of jealousy. Feldt was quick to respond and explained why his manager asked for Yeter to stop playing. It’s apparent that he wasn’t ok with the situation, especially since Yeter was insulting him afterward. Check out the entire interaction on Twitter below:

If you get booked to play warm up at a tropical house party at 8pm and you play Scooter & the biggest hit of DJ after you, you're losing it. https://t.co/PIR4WD86hf

Just play Kygo without the kicks. Easy. Hahaha no just kidding. But don't play the biggest tracks of the Dj's after you. Common sense..

Yep… especially when you then blame and insult that artist @DimitriVangelis 🤔

I would too. My tour manager thought it was offensive though and he asked 3 times if he would stop playing that track.. He wouldn't..
