agreed. i'd prefer a dj who was into it and bringing the vibe up (donald glaude does one helluva job doing that) and the occasional trainwreck then the perfect flawless set with no emotion....

100% agree with that, the odd trainwreak is just an opertunity to go "Whaaaaayyyy" (acknowledge it) and get a smile from the DJ not a death sentence.

Fair enough alot of them and ou just think hmmmm this guy is shit.

Some people forget that DJing is not all about mixing, and mixing is not all about beatmatching (though in our genres obviously both are very important, it is still true).

i think its kinda cool sometimes when certain types of djs dont respond much to the crowd. its like they just know their nailing it and they just smile a lil bit and give the crowd a few glances, seems a little more mature. But nothing wrong with a dj that jumps around when things heat up thats cool too

True. Paul van Dyk knows exactly when to play a certain record to make the crowd go nuts. And he definately enjoys watching people go crazy, because if he didn't he would probably stop dj-ing and be a fulltime producer...

People respond to different situations in different ways. I am a very relaxed and calm person, and i don't jump around a lot. But when i get a crowd going, i have a smile from ear to ear on my face, and i'm just shining with energy. I think little signs (like a smile, a wave with your hand, or just pointing at someone) can do just as much or even more to an entire crowd than jumping around and dancing your ass off.

ha, sometimes Ill just play with headphones on so it is completely silent in my room and my roommate might sneak a peck of me jumping around to silence.

I personally cannot stand still when I dj, i enjoy teh music too much so I am always moving and smiling. Whenever I see a dj play im also jumping around n stuff givin him/her dj love, and I think it makes the set a whole lot better. in fact that how I met teh resident at the big club here.

As if you've ever played out gimp
