Question for DJs who play mashups?

Actually I stopped doing mashups live. I sometimes do what you call very long transitions, but I found that most crowds do want to hear a song or a good remix of it, but not so much into mashups when they party.
Now when they are at home listening to stuff that is something totally different, but then they are digging through music.

I literally could play a mashup every other song. They used to be called blends when done live in the mix back in the day (as 12 inches usually had acapella and instrumental tracks on them for that purpose). For that reason, I still consider it a blend when done live and a mashup when done before hand. I can pull off blends from time to time but prefer to create my own mashups ahead of time or find some dope ones on soundcloud. Problem is that mashups are probably the most polarizing form of music that a dj can possible play out. I pride myself in being a tasteful selector and that extends to my mashup choices and some of my most trusted friends have consistently told me they HATE mashups of any kind. I say that to warn that there will be people in every audience that will react negatively to even the dopest of mashups so for that reason alone, you’ll want to keep them to a minimum. Then there are the times when people just don’t get it, that’s always fun. I was playing a happy hour chill set a few weeks ago and dropped Greg Wilson’s Edit The Edit. With the song coming to an end, a young woman came up to me and said “don’t you have the Rolling Stones song instead of this version?” I’m like “yeah, sure, I can play that for you” facepalm.
