Car horns in music confuses me while driving, maybe there is something equivalent for a club.

Same goes for sirens

Actually, that could scare a few people in the club too

i tend to avoid using too many long breakdowns in a set. using abelton allows you to do some live re-edits to keep the energy from draining.

that was my major complaint about seeing paul van dyk live, aside from the music, was the fact that his set was constantly dropping into breakdowns, followed by high pass filters.

in short, i like the fake breakdown.

one of my tracks has a trainwreck (as if two tracks are badly mixed) just to annoy the dj's playing it

confusing the crowd is nice imho if done well. It works well to get their attention back from the beer drinking and bullshit talking!
