In this way, and by this one decision, you would still decide what music should be played to rock the crowd, only you would be acknowledging that its not your style of music. If you're going to have to play another djs records in order to win the crowd, then, the crowd obviously doesn't really know who you are, nor, what your style of music is about, and, therefore, isn't really going to mind if you don't play at all.

Just a thought.
And a mighty thought this is.
