Dude, seriously, what is the number one rule of DJing? Never let the music drop. You let the music drop no less than five times. That's right. I counted.
Also, please learn how to read a room. Here's a tip: if you're playing high-energy mashups of radio songs that everybody knows (GirlTalk, Check it out.) and everybody responds by dancing crazy, singing along, and shouting "wooo!" intermittently, keep playing that kind of music.
If, however, you let the music drop and start playing droll, repetitive trance music and everyone responds by ceasing their dancing and leaving the room altogether, put the other music back on. Don't just keep playing what you like because that's what you and your buds sit around in your herb-infused living room and bob your heads to every other night. I'm sure it's mind blowing after eighty-seven bong hits when you have no intention of moving off your couch, but this is a party dude. We're trying to dance. And you, as a DJ, have a responsibility to your fellow party goers to provide us with beats we can shake our collective groove thangs to.
To be fair, I'm pretty sure you weren't a professional DJ but just some kid who hi-jacked the open Mac on the DJ table, but my complaint still stands.
Special note: I have nothing against trance music or the people who listen to it, or living rooms or bong hits as a general matter of course, it's just it's just that it was not a living room. It was a dance floor. You have to do more than bob your head on a dance floor. Just sayin'.

nice! It never ceases to amaze me that DJ's will play what THEY want to hear instead of what everyone is responding to.
