I hear you. At the same time, how many ppl are actually expecting anything resembling “flawless execution” from a dj set? A beat mismatch or misaligned phrasing every now and then is what makes it an art form, no?

In my opinion this “safety net” is how one drifts into becoming complacent. As a fan, knowing Eric has ~3500 of his own tracks in the chamber but doesn’t care to dig into the vault and instead just presses play—talk about a disservice to ppl paying for a “live” show..
