today - 100 people - 1 is the dj, 94 are djs wanting a gig, and 5 people are partiers. and the 94 wanna be djs are making fun of the 5 partiers outfits
im not sure what parties your going to, but thats certainly not the case over here or in the clubs i go to at least, far from it.... i find it more often than not the party goers are 99% of the time happy to simply get on with partying whilst trying to keep an eye on the tracks getting played, the tricks the dj is doing etc certainly in places like Voodoo, Atomic Jam, were there is always someone wanting to know what the record is thats playing or how a trick was done, which is good, because they appreciate all aspects of the club environment without hassling the dj all the time or trying to pass on cd after cd... but i guess some people know when to wait their turn and some dont....
re the production thing, its a tricky one.... but id say id rather hear a track thats not amazingly produced but has really good musical content than something thats produced amazingly but lacks any credible ideas
