Reply to In your area: Does the crowd prefer original cuts or live remixes?

It's mainstream stuff where I'm at... Hip hop / top 40 / electro

For example I can drop die young (original cut) and the floor can be packed. But when I drop an electro track on it and use some clever cue point jumping for die youngs lyrics the dancing will slow down.

After a really sick live edit like that I'll frequently get people up to the booth telling me how they loved it, or cheers from the tables around the dj booth, but in my head I'm like how come the floor thinned out if you guys loved it so much.

Funny thing is if I were to drop that same electro track by itself the floor would be still be packed.

I guess what I'm Thinking, even though the remix is still sick, the beat has deviated from its original version so much the crowd can't identify with it as much and would rather just listen instead of dance.

What's you guys experience with situations like this?
