AST - Attention Seeking Technique.

All eyes on me! Yes, that is the kind of attention I seek while spinning music. Its an art I have tried to master over the years. Not hungry for attention but certainly like to keep clubbers glued to my sets.
Most clubbers don't like to hear more than 3 mins of a track while on the floor(my estimate not some statistical data). Smooth transitions from one track to another are a repertoire of a good DJ. I normally plan my set with surprise elements namely acapellas , instrumental versions and popular samples.
Though the timing of these playing these elements is solely spontaneous. I keep in mind to usually let them loose when I see a need to wake a floor up on its feet. Bringing the vigour back on the floor. This is what I term as AST - Attention Seeking Technique.
One the crowd responds to em you know u have got a party back on its feet. But I always keep in mind not to over use them in my sets, so as not to become monotonous.
Another element that I use as a vital AST is the sheer energy I portray on the console. Nobody wants to see a sluggish DJ. I enjoy myself to every bit on the sets. To a point when at times club owners need to calm me down. But its all good as it keeps a happy vibe in the club.
One DJ who I call the prophet of AST is Carl Cox. Sheer energy even at 40 a must watch live act.
