Brings us back to the question. What do people "really" want to listen to? I mean, that party may have appreciated that music in a different setting but at that time only wanted more commercial stuff. Set and setting play a huge role in the style of music the DJ plays and a crowd responds to, agreed.
If you were to be playing a side room at a rave for example, you would've had everyone by the balls. Don't think trance is dead, people are learning what trance is. Progressive sets on the other hand are just that, progressive. They are only aimed, again, at a particular audience as would trance.
I believe that vocal trance appeals to everyone especially women as sexy vocals is what women love to here in a track (as long as there are women in a club, there will always be men, that's how I see it anyway), in my experience. eg. Tiesto "Flesh", Lange "drifting away", Jan Johnston "silent words" Freefall "skydive" or even Conjure One "tears from the moon (tiesto remix)" to name a few.
Don't worry too much it's just the way of the world, you can't please everyone, but next time maybe drop a couple tracks to get a reaction, if negative, try mix quickly into something that would appeal etc. etc. As a DJ you're in control of the music so play like you are bruv!!!
PS. It's only advice when you take it.
Enjoy.
