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. cheers, derek ------- eggytoast.com ------- coming to a cineplex near you --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
