I can't fault a DJ for playing the tunes that get 99% of the crowd moving. After all, this is Los Angeles and it's a hard crowd to please.
The beatport pool party in Miami was mostly minimal and tech house, yet the crowd was into it. Maybe it's because of the europe influence that comes to town that week or something like that but I was so excited to see that people actually had an attention span long enough to roll through the DJ's journey. Something I'm not used to in the USA.
Granted I don't play "cheese", I still think it's possible to work a crowd into a frenzy without playing the top 10 of the week. If people can control the A.D.D. tendencies for a little while, the set might just pay off in the end
Listen to digweed play a set outside of the states. 3 hours of kick and snare before you get any melody at all. He makes you beg for it but towards the end of the set you might be a believer. I'm just saying.
All opinions aside, I'm looking forward to these events and playing them as well. Nice work JC. Keep it up!
