A DJ that could REALLY REALLY REALLY move a crowd playing much slower dance tunes DURING peak hours in a club setting is a talented DJ. (Forget for a moment playing for a loungey crowd but for a crowd of serious dancers.)
This is true ESPECIALLY if the venue isn’t promoting that its DJ plays a lot of slower dance and, INSTEAD, the DJ just does so at the right moments during the course of the night. (Yes a variety of tempos brings out the best in dancers… real dancers, that is.)
This was the case at clubs like the Paradise Garage & The Loft (amongst so many other NYC spots) in the 70’s, 80’s and early 90’s.
Seemingly everyone got it twisted now - believing that tunes must be high tempoed to really get people seriously groovin’ on the dancefloor. That wasn’t the case when the scene was TRULY underground.
Now, people want to promote playing slower dance music like it’s something new when in fact slower dance music and higher tempo dance tunes alike are necessary to broaden the journey for the DJs and dancers alike.
Anyway, I still got to snatch a copy of that Wally Badarou joint. Always really liked that tune.
