it means getting people to dance to a record thats outside of
their normal frame of reference is not easy. recently, a friend of
mine and i were playing our saturday night where we play mostly
classics in many genres of dance. we were playing old early 90s
NYC house and some other classic disco and pop stuff around 120
BPM. i dropped "billie jean" which of course set it off. my boy
follwed it with a track off of the "Super" ep by morgan geist, and
people went nuts to the bassline, which of course they had never
heard and probably wouldnt have liked in another context. later in
the set, with people still dancing, we dropped "to our disco
friends" by smith and hack and people went nuts to that as well
despite definitely not being familiar with the track.

shake is just one of the best deejays ive ever seen. i dont
usually learn much from hearing a deejay play, but shake and theo
are the 2 i might as well sit there and take notes during their
sets. those guys define how to play weird sh*t and make it work a
dancefloor.
