Massive NAY from me.

Dance music is created through 2 very long and thoughtful processes - production and DJing. The process from the producer's first ideas for the track to the DJ actually playing it out to a crowd takes so long and involves so much thought, planning, consideration, the creation of the track, the selection of a tune by the DJ in the shop, the selection within a set, the mixing... for a third person to then impose themselves on top of the whole process largely undoes all the good work leading up to it. The MCing that I have experienced involves absolutely no skill, no planning, no thought. Used sparingly - as ive heard they do in Holland, only speaking every now and again to let everyone know who the DJ is, maybe get everyone moving on a big tune once in a while. But when are they TRULY necessary?

Thoughts?
