I liked it the first few times I heard it (maybe because it was just something different) but now it irritates me a bit (especially when it’s one of my favorite tracks that they cut short into something else). My theory (most likely unfounded– just a theory) is that it may be a cover-up for poor programming. Instead of selecting an appropriate amount of solid tracks that flow well together to make a set with, they cram in as many as possible knowing that, just by pure probability theory, the crowd’s going to like at least some of them. On the other hand though, they could simply be showing off how quick they can mix tracks.
Well the funny thing was that nobody was dancing because they couldn’t find a groove more or less so they were just standing there talking or sitting and that’s never any fun.
