When musicians tour, there are several conditions or demands made by them, even before stepping on stage. Super stars, be they of any genre are known to be most intriguing, many a time bordering on insane. But when it comes to the most outrageous and bizarre riders, nothing compares to DJs, at least if you go by the list provided by dnaindia.com.

But before you read on, understand, most of these guys are good-humoured and have a talent for sarcasm. Some put it in there to ensure promoters read their demands carefully — especially the technical aspects. But go through this list and you will feel that DJs are a universe of their own, at least when it comes to demands made, or so it would seem.
