    I don't. Because that's all i can do.

    Besides, there's more to DJ'ing in a club set than rocking doubles, cuttin' and skratchin'. You can adjust your eq's, head cocked sideways while cueing up records. Chain-smoking waiting for the song to finish, messing with ground hum as if it's an avantgarde side of your set. 'cos at the end of the day, it's not about how you rock the set, but how you look while rocking your set.

    the thing is, it is too easy to become depended on tricks when rocking club sets or even just at home practicing, but there are always the time when the situation doesn't allow you to do so, could be the set-up or whatever.

    maybe this is only a bedroom DJ thing. when you're out doing gigs every week at different spots for long enough your experiences would've told you what to expect and how you're gonna rock your set.

    oh i should've been more specific, i wanted to know from DJ perspective, not audience or listener.

    personally i don't mind listening to a blend mixtape. no doubt.

    Geez, I'd just be bored if I JUST blended. Good to make a fool of yourself while you try ripping shit up every once in awhile. But as we all know you can get away with a heck of a lot more in a club than on a mixtape. The audience doesn't really give a monkeys if you mess up every once in a while, just your DJ mates, who have like to have a laugh & act all smug.
