or a case of completely submitting to the track you are playing either
some tracks ONLY come to life when you get stuck in and dj/mix them properly
get them wrong and they suck

how does that work?
I agree, and even more so with techno.

I have deliberately exaggerated things to make a point. Just trying to fuel a bit of discussion.

For me personally, I am more concerned about going to a party and having to endure poor mixing skills than how live an act/artist really is.
