I'm just coming from the idea that if you're doing a show, consistency is
key. If everyone is sitting down, sure, play whatever, especially if
you're actually performing, doing some interaction, pausing between
tracks. But when the only option for the people attending is to either
dance, or crane their necks watching the dj play their favorite tunes, i'd
rather dance, or at least move a little. Not so easy to do when the dj
keeps changing things up every 3 minutes.
