No - I would have to disagree with that. I also play out and it is
necessary to conform to the tone of the gig and if - as the original
poster - you have been "ASKED" to play an electro set, then that's
what the promoter/ organiser wants you to play. As the hired DJ,
that's what's you're expected to deliver. You are there to do a job,
no to have a public wank.
If, on the other hand, someone hears you play a freestyle set and on
the basis of that asks you to do their party, by all means, indulge
yourself.
Afterall, you are free to play the records you 'really like' in your
bedroom any time you choose.
Oh, and on the electro recommendations query, I'd say pop on some
of Luke Slater's recent Wireless album.
Good luck for the gig!
