i really miss the days when djs were more adventurous with what they played. i mean, first and foremost, a dj must play tunes that resonate with the audience. secondly, they must do it in such a way that average songs sound good, good ones sound great and so on.
i think the one of the best dj moments i've ever heard was jeff mills mixing "move your body" into "pump up the jam." super cheese but just straight-out mad.
