The 3 times I have seen you were the worst audience interaction I have ever seen with a dj (your myspace says"Yohan also loves to interact with the crowd, bringing a stage presence unhindered by restraints of social expectations and only full of love of music"). lol What interaction? What stage presence? I think I saw you look up at us maybe twice in the whole night. But you did stop the music and scream like a girl . With no one screaming back of course because that was the only energy you gave us the whole night. You played amazing music and I do agree you have a love for music but you didn't do anything for the energy in the room and thus made people leave into rev.
my myspace needs updating lol
there were days when i thought crowd interaction was one of the important things about djing.
then i saw DJs like steve aoki and mark eg who makes a living being a clown and cant deliver good music. i cringe whenever armin does a jesus pose and crowd go mad.
that's gimmick. not djing.
not that i think zero crowd interaction is a good thing, and some sort of interaction is necessary (mainly reading the crowd and adjusting the set accordingly)
but to slam djs for failing to put on a show. meh
i guess djs like digweed and pvd suck too. or countless other djs who might clap once in a while but puts on one helluva set
ps: i have fun whenever i'm on decks. but shy introvert kid has trouble expressing himself to other people, let alone trying to concentrate on djing and not screwing up

I think the amount of your crowd interaction is directly related to the number of drinks you've had.

As already mentioned, how can one continue the momentum after a Porter set.
In that question lies the assumption that the momentum must be continued; I've tried to resolve this internally and can't come up with any satisfactory answer as to why that would be the case. Perhaps you have one. The way I see it, clubs only stay open past 3-4 AM, when peak hours are over, for the benefit of those who for various reasons cannot go home.
Marathon sets can be great fun too, every so often, but only insomuch as they're rare and special events and are carried by DJs who are accustomed to playing them.
There's nothing wrong with wanting to keep on going if you like to spend your Sundays dazed, red-eyed and aching, but it's unfair to expect the DJ to play his best to a thinned-out and half-dead audience (unless he really wants to).
